Judge, then, Of the. effect upon our good
men here, when they look back over the
distance which separates them from their
friends, in an effort to find at home some
proper appreciation Of their sel-sacrifcing
conduct! It is bitter and humiliating. !
tell you, sir, there is a spirit abroad among
the good Americans engaged in this war,
which will not sleep durIng futurity spir-

plants Of q most unjust party, the full meas
ure Of an honest Indignation. It is the
same that brooded over this our land du-
ring the war of of the Revolution and the
last war; and men Of the present Gay, pail
sled with age, have lived to curse, with
tears ofrepentance, the hour when she with
scornful finger, marked them for life as the
TORIES Of their country. We HERE can see
no difference between the men who in '76
succored the British, and those who in AT
gave arguments and sympathy to the Mex
icans.-This kind Of language from man
who came into this campaign whlg in
policy, may sound strange to you; but |
have again and again been compelled to
listen to and TO suffer that which would
have changed the disposition and alienated
the affections of the most determined par.
tizan. Even now, do not object to the
leading and main principles Of my old
party so much as curse and deprecate the
tone OF its acknowledged leaders, and sup

= G Some two weeks ago report was
in circulation that the Bank of w ooster had
failed, and that its notes had been refused on
deposite by the Life Insurance and Trust
Co i, at CINCINNATI. The rumored failure
turned out to be unfou nded; and thereupon
all the federal papers attempted to convey
The impression that it was ''silly rumor"
got up by the bank destructives for the pur-
pose Of iniuring the credit oflhe bank. The
article which we copy from the
Kalida putnam coy Venture, shows that,
BY whoever the rumor may have been
started, the friends ofthe bank, if no: the
bank itself, have taken advantage Of the
rumor for the purpose OF feecing the peo-
pie and filling their own pockets; and the
shows how easy matter it
is for bank to defraud its bill-hplders at a

its bills are redeemable ut its own counter.

agents, quite large haul off the holders

The consequence.-The agents and bor-
rowers of the Bank were willing purchas-'

counties along the line of tho Canal at

It is restored; but the people are feeced;

'ocketed their thousands by the brief dis
credit of currency vaunted as preferable

When will the er'people of Ohio profit by
