The "No Party" Cry 20 Miserable
Humbug.

The Republican party toll us there
must he no paty;-that we must not
talk about Democrats and Republicans.
While they talk this way their conduct
is strangely inconsistent with their pro-
fcssions. Scarcely week passes that
does not witness the dccapitation of good
Union men, and for no other reason than
that they are Democrats, and the appoint
ment of men in their place, for no Other
reason than that they are Republicans.
When Washington was menaced by
the rebels post master in Massachusetts
volunteered for three months and was
elected Colonel Of the Sth Regiment and
marched to Washington to lay down his
life, fneed bc, in defense of his Govern
ment. When he returned home at the
expiration of his term of enlistment
he found that he had been removed from
the post office and rabid Republican
appointed in his place,

to show that Republicans are still as bit.

At the last session of Congress the
Republican majority virtually repealed

which all the fnantial operations Of the
Government have been transacted with

THE SurREME JUDGEs.-It is some
what remarkable fact that, OF the three
Judges of the Supreme Court Of the Uni
ted States, whose residences are in the Sc
ceded States, two, Judge Catron of Tenn
esscc and Judge Wayne of Gorgia refuse
to resign their seats on the bench, but
continue to regard themselves as citizens
of the United States. Judge Catron re-
Gently held his court at St. Louis, and
Judge Wayne is now in Washington,
ready to take his scat on the Supreme
Bench. The third, Judge Campbell of
Alabama, has resigned, but it is well
known that he was utterly opposed to
secession, and resigned only because he
had prcmaturely promised to abide by the
action of his State. Judge Catron and
Wayne, ifnot Judge Campbell, utterly
repudiate and deny the doctrine of seces
sion--a fact well known,

its way to join Col. Ford's regiment at
Camp Buckingham at Mansfield, stopped
over night at Canton. Early the follow

go out of the Hall in which they were
quar,ered. The sentinel refused to let
him pass. Not satisfied, the man still
insisted on going ont, and took hold of

partially out the door. Recovering him

Volunteers wanted.

The call for volunteers Is filling up very slowly,
not only in Ohio, but in other States. The rea.
son for this is that a pack of corrupt politicians
the country is in as stepping stone to Office and
public punder. Such men, in public meetings and
on the streets, are constantly Boosting of their
loyalty and patriotism and denouncing all who
will not agree with them as traitors to their coun
try. Men who want to accomplish certain political
ends donounce Democrats, who nre willing to
both compromise and fight Tor the country, as en-.
cmies to the Union. II the President will stop the
mouths of about dozen blatant, office seeking

to make these contributions to crafty the ambition

are set of trading, trucking political dcmagogucs
who are dividing the people of the North, getting

The Present soldiers tho Ev,uc
Office HOIders

President Lincoln makes no seoro, .s
the fact that when the rebellion is srO.
pressed, he intends to make new dispo-
sltion of the immense list Of officers in
the gut ofthe government. He designs
TO ignore the adage, "Republics arc un.
grateful and to improve the motto,
10 the victor belong the spoils." He
has frequently said that ne longs for the
time when he can prove his love for the
saviors of the Republic, by placing them
in offices Of honor and profit. His keen
eye is watching the men who are ralying
at the call Of thcir country. and when
peace shall crown their perils, the vast
army Of place. men must make room for
the SCARED veterans Of Manassas, and it
may be of Richmond. Charleston and
New Orleans.
What an impulse this will give to en-
! listments! The fact that the soldiers
life is the open door to honorable posi-
tions, and perhaps independence, will
stir up the young men Of the loyal States
to deeds Of enterprise and daring. This
determination will be seconded by the
people at large, with the exceptions,
perhaps, of the office-holders, who owe
their present positions to pothouse inhu-,
ence, or their pliancy as tools of this or
that member of the Cabinet. Lincoln is
determined to initiate Napoleon in his,

tn y hurried on to Washington to save
MIR. Lincoln and the Capitol, and after
three months sacrifice, danger, and fight
