The discussions were "fair''-the speeches
''fne'-the facts Conclusive so SAYS one
English Journal referring to this Congress.
The whole thing was a failure--no Belgian
paper supported it--no part Of the Belgian Gov
eminent can support it--and the speeches and
action of the Congress ranked from fair to mid
dling-from good, but not striking, down to
the other end of the scale, adds another.
Says the London Times:
We regard the proceedings of the Congress
merely as beginning. II Is something that
such protest should have been uttered in the
face Of Europe. II the gentlemen who repre-
scented the various nations have the sense to re-
tire to their respective countries, and discard
the part of mere ideologists,--if they renounce
the fruitless task Of attempting to convince
those who stop their ears with five-franc pieces,
If they make up their minds that the point of
possibility is to convince the great body of their
countrymen that the theory of monopoly Ia
simply how to farm the many for the profit of
the few; and II they patiently wait, as the
League waited in England, until they acquire
the moral preponderance, their ultimate triumph
Ia certain and secure. The German Customs
League is beginning to doubt; Italy has already,
as far us her condition would admit, recognized
the doctrine of free trade II is however in that
country, which was represented in the Congress
by the greatest body Of deputies, and those the
men of most ability and most instruction, that
the great blow must be struck. 1t is France
which is the key of the position. The Due
d Harcourt, MN. GARNER, Banqui Wolowski,
&C., have undertaken task In which they must
needs be successful, If they prosecute II rightly,
for they have truth ON their side. They will
soon gain 10 their cause the men who would
only take up the cause purely from political
motives.

VOLUNTEER DINNER.

On tomorrow, Saturday, the citizens of
Upper Sandusky and vicinity, as well as all
others who may have desire, are invited to
assemble and participate at the dinner to be
given in honor of our worthy volunteers, who
after an absence of more than year in the
service Of our country, have returned to their
homes and friends. Let the occasion speak
for itself, and every person who believes in
defending our country, turn out and show the
respect they have for those who take up arms
in her defence. A speech will be delivered
on the occasion, at IL o'clock, A. M, and at
O'Clock, P. M. the dinner will be prepared.
1t is expected that the LADIES who are
patriotic enough to construct and prepare
flags for our soldiers to carry into the field of
battle, will ALL (that can) be present Many
of the ladies have done much IN fitting out
our volunteers for the war, and should have
the privilege of welcoming them back.
This day will be time Of rejoicing, while
at the same time the death of those who feel
in battle or by disease, will be lamented. 1t
is hoped that the war will soon be brought to
a close, but only on such terms as will indem-
nifty the United State--preserye the houor of
our flag and Institutions, and bring the Mex
ican people to justice. 1t is expected that
the festival on the 24th instant will be fully
attended, and that too, by those who believe
the war on the part of our country to be just
and necessary. War we believe to be a great
injury to all parties concerned, but neverthe-
less, some times justifabe and necessary

upon to fght-to war it was at the beginning
of the present conflict, and never should they
