New ORLEANS ON HER MErTLE.-The
New Orleans Delta, noticing the blockade,
says:
ave want no corn, no flour, no swill-fed
pork, no red eye, no butter or cheese from
that Great Western Reserve, no sass" no
adulterated drugs, no patent physics, no
poisoned pickles. We want none of these,
we say, to exchange our money for them.
And we will not pay the Blue Grass coun-
try of Kentucky for its loyalty to Lincoln
by opening our markets to its hemp fabrics.
Let IL lay in the bed it has chosen until it
awakes to sense of its duty ms we'll rs its
interest. We must discriminate in favor
OF our gallant ally, Missouri, and give her
the benefits of our marts in preference to
either open foes or insiduous neutrals.-
1t is the clear duty of our Government now
10 declare Kentucky under blockade. II
in the existing state of affairs a sea separ-
ated us from that State, il would, with the
naval power to execute our bshests, behoove
use to close the ports Of people who seek
for themselves profit by impoverishing US
and enriching our foes. The fact of their
contiguity does not weaken the
argument. Ken. and the West must be
made to feel this war, and feel il until they
cry pecavi."

wiIlnot Serve.

The "white-rag" Valandigham- Democ-
racy are receiving blow after blow from
Democrats who will neither endorse the
treason of the State Convention platform,
and its Central Committee rider, nor wink
at such treason. Every time blow falls
all good men will exclaim, "Hit him again
he's got no friends"
The following letter tells its own story:
AKRON, August 9th, 1861.
DEAR SIR:-I hereby tender my resig-
nation as a member of the Democratic
State Executive Committee for the 18th
Congressional District. For Hon. H. J..
Jewett, the Democratic nominee for Gov
erDor, l entertain much personal esteem,
but as the representative Of the sentiments
endorsed by the Convention which placed
him in nomination, l cannot support him.
In my judgment, at this time when our
Government itself is in danger of destruc-
tion, there should be a thorough and united
action Of all loyal citizens of Ohio to aid
our Government in its endeavors to sup
press treason and rebellion. A division
among Union men will weaken righteous
cause, and afford ''aid and comfort" to the
worst foes ever arrayed against the Ameri-
can Government and our free institutions.
In the forcible language of the call for a
State Union Convention, let "patriotism
take the place of party spirit" if you are
really and sincerely on the side of Union,
and against treason. Yours, respectfully,
GEO. w. MCNEIL.
To William A. johnson, Sec'y of State
Central Committee.

The Qualification" meeting of the "Peace
or White Flag Democracy of Holmes County
on Friday last. considering the effort that was
made to bring out crowd. was very small
affair and indicates, we think, the feelings and
intentions of majority of those who have
heretofore acted with them. through the coun-
ty--that is, not to be Influenced into taking
part in any proceedings that will be likely TO
present or interfere with their Government in
putting down armed rebellion.
The principal speech made on the occasion
was that of c. F. Worries Esq, and it was un-
worthy of the man. Usually courteous, and
argumentative, his speech on Friday last
surprised all that ever heard him before, for
it would have done discredit to the veri-
est petifoging stumper of the land. 1t was
all abuse, couched in the choicest slang of the
professional slang-whanger. He abused the
Republicans, for what they were never guilty of,
and held them responsible for the sins of the
fanatical, hypocritical Aboltionist of the North.
1t was as unlike the speeches he made in the
Court House few months since as those then
made were unlike those made by JEFF. DAVIS
within the last year. We hope Mr.. V. will do
better In the future. -4.fj
Mr.. THOMAS ARMoR Esq, followed Mr.. VoR-
HE'S. Acting upon the belief that man risks
nothing by going out when Mr. A. con,nenoes-
10 talk, we left the house and did not return
again during the setting of the Convention.
Mr. LEApBErrEn we are told followed Mr.. Ar
NOR, in sort of fishy, whang-doodle speech
1t is reported that he advised the Democrats not
10 enlist in the present war. Not many of his
kind had any notion of so doing. consequently
his advice was useless. But LEADBETrER ought
to have credit for having quit on this occasion.
in the same week that he commenced. His
speech did no harm.

EEIf this warcan ever be settled with
out the utter destruction of the Union, it
will he productive of one good effect, and
that will be its having broken down, 10 a
great extent, party feeling in this country.
When the Union men of the South, and
there are thousands there, are enabled to
speak their sentiments, and shall dare 10
place themselves freely upon the Union
platform, beside their brethren of the North
we shall see people and Government
which will hereafter be unconquerable,
either by foreign or internal foes.
A subscriber writing from Madison, Ohio
closes very sensible letter as follows:
We are contending for the right of the
people-for civil liberty-for the suprema-
cy of the Constitution and the laws. The
contest is an arduous one, but although the
struggle may for while be prolonged, by
the blessing of God, and the spirit of our
ancestors, the issue cannot be doubted
Amidst the general gloom and darkness
which prevails, let us continue to present
our unextinguished light, steadily burning
in the cause of the people, of the Constitu-
tion and of civil liberty.
Our friend has the fullest confidence in
the power of the Government to crush out
this rebellion, but being for some time un-
employed in the art of war, we were COM
paratively unprepared. The consequence
is, the Government has much to do to get
in battle trim, but the hour will come when
its advancing columns will move, and they
will move, and they will go toward steadi-
ly to tho completion of the work. The
people grow impatient, but they are indig
nant at the wrongs put upon the Consti-
tuition, and they wish to have Them aveng
ed.
A correspondent from Otsego, Mo-,
writes us as follows:
This county goes strong for the present
Administration and the Union. The reb,
Ell party have been met boldly by the
Union men, frustrating nearly all their un-
dertakings. They are considered here, by
the Union men, set Of eowardly iuva-
ders.
Rightly appreciated, too, and We hope
they will magnify their displeasure at the
rebels by casting them out from all the re-
gions of Missouri. They have no place
among men who desire to abide under q
Government liberal in its purposes and
faithful in the administration of the powers
conferred upon it. We hope the time is
not far distant when Missouri will be for
ever lid of the traitors which now curse
her soil.

sEWe can liken the effect produced by Mr..
BARcRoFr's Speech last Saturday upon the
Compromise" or "White Flag democracy"
here, to nothing so appropriate as that produced
upon nest of hornets by throwing stone into
it. 1t sent them off buzzing. That evening and
next day. they could be seen in little groups
all over town taking council of each other
Some of them are for taking the back track on
the war question, whilst some others, more
bold than the rest, are for making their issue
directly for and against the war. The latter
will probably carry the day.

Be UP AND DorSG.-The Union men of the
several townships are requested to meet at as

DAY SEPT. 14to put in nomination County
Ticket to be supported ty the Union men of
Holmes County at the ensuing October election.
Each township is entitled to two Delegates,
one of each of the old parties, Democrat and

Holmes county. Friends Of your Government
keep the ball rolling.

ArrEAnAscEs.-It appears by eommunica-
tion in the FORMER that JoHx H. SMITH, Esq, is
not going TO be candidate for State Senator
this fall. Why we thought that that matter
had been settled by the Democracy at their
Primary Election in juno. He wasn't very
much VI a candidate thtn n, taking his vote
as indication of his popularity. 1t appears al
30. that SMITH was ''out-generaled, in that cor
test by Col. PERkEr. 1t appears also, that
PaxEY though ga gentleman, popular man"
and good Democrat ''could not, have Leaten
SMITH had be stuck TO it. The Democracy
probably don't ask for all these qualifications
in their candidates: 1t appears also that Mr..
ARMoR, whom SMITH forgcts to dub either a
gentleman" or good Democrat" was more
popular than he. and beat him slightly--about
two TO one. 1t further appears that SMITH ia
tends to remember having "been beating by
sharp practice" aad pay the debt as soon as
opportunity presents itself.
Thus sayeth JOHN a. SMITH in his first epis-
tie to the the Democracy of Holmes county.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has the
TRAITORS AT HOME,
following:

Five rebel papers have been suppressed
for their own advocacy of rebellion-one
in Maine, one in New Hampshire, and
three in st. Louis. If Liberty is used for
the destruction of Liberty, there can be no
doubt upon our duty. The abuse of free
dom is the most dangerous enemy 10 free
dom it meets. We unhesitatingly say,
down with traitors everywhere, in whatev-
er guise they may appear. We can better
afford to be lenient during profound peace
than when in the midst of gigantic re-
belIion. We deeply regret the necessity
for martial law, habeas corpus suspension,
and vigiIs over the press. The New York
Journal of Commerce, Day Book and
News, live by indulgence only, and that Of
doubtful propriety.

WEATHER, DR.. L. FREsrosE, Messrs VonHEs

German Speakers. several of them, were adver-

They had no business at such meeting, being
mostly loyal men. They could tell you that

land in time of war. that those who partic-
ipated in it would have been taken out of the
house in irons.

eBB BEN. McCULLocH, in making his official
report of the battle in which Gen. LYON fell,
gives the number of the forces thus:
"The enemy were nine or ten thousand strong
our forces were ABOUT the same"
1t is remarkable that Ben. McCuLLocH should
be able to give the definite number of the Feder-
al troops, but not that of his own rebel force
We know that our force was less than one-half
of ten thousand, and if the rebel General adj
mits his force was ABOUT ten Thousand, the nat
ural inference is that the number was greater
than that

Governor Dennison,s Appeal.

Gov. DEsxIsoS has issued an appeal to the Peo-
pie of the State, TO fill up the regiments now or
ganizing for service. OF ffty regiments au-
thorized by the Governor, who has appointed
field officers for them all, only about one-half
are in the field.
Many others have. perhaps, half the number
of men required. some more. the rest less. And
the Governor. having made the requisite ap-
poiniments, now appeals to the patriotism Of
the State to furnish the men. This appeal is
rather late. The Governorsof Indiana. Illinois.
and other States, were prompt. looking after
the men before they disposed of the offices. but
our Governor hasa way of moving wrong end
foremost, and in this instance his policy has
proved un fortunate.
But better late than never. All good ciii-
1ens will give ear to this appeal ofthe Governor.
Let us all 60 to work promptly and earnestly.
and fill up the fifty regiments. Those who are
unwilling tn volunteer themselves, can by a
little exertion. procure recruit. 1t would be
a good thing, and offset much of Ohio sluggish
ness. if the fifty rcgim ents could be announced
full within a week after the proclamation. 1t
can be done. if we will all go to work. deter
mined that it shall be accomplished.
The Governor announces that the State is full
ysupplied with clothing, arms and equipments;
that volunteers will be Immediately supplied
with all these the moment company and regi-
mental organizations are effected. Wecan fur
ther state that the Commissary Department is
now 30 well organized that good rations are regu-
larly served There need be no fear on the part of
volunteers of the former sad experiences in
camp. Every regiment, as soon as organized
and prepared, will be forw arded to the seat of
war.
So, to work. everybody. Ohio must have
her $4,000 volunteers in the field. and that i'm
mediately. Let every citizen at once to the
