An English opinion of the Seeeeded
states.


Frasier's London Magazine, in its last is
sue, has an article on our affairs. We
make the following extract:
If we may trust the reports sent to US,
not only by Mr., Russell, but by every travel
er there-if we may accept the papers and
the books of the South as signs of what
really goes on there-a more a0retched ty-
ranny more miserable broken doWn bar
6arisna scarcely eeiSts anywhere than in
the l0orst slave States. Perhaps Mexico or
Bokhars might be even moro disagreeable
as places Of permanent residence, but it is
only these very extreme baunts Of savage
lawlessness that can eclipse the horrors Of
a society, which the unbridled insolence of
the meanest of idlers sets the constant tone
of society, and imposes an iron bondage on
all thought and feeling. No doubt many
of the planters are gentlemen, with high
courage, and high feeling and cultivated
minds; and their families, as we on this
side of the Atlantic are aware by exper-
fence, are pleasanter and more friendly than
the Northerners. But the planters appear
to have no more influence for good-no
more power of directing and elevating the
mean whites and loafers of the towns and
the roaming vagabands of the outlying set
Elements, than stray missionary can di-
rect and elavate the population st. Giles.
Were the Southern States to continue in
the Union, there is some hope that grad
ually this state of things would become bet
ter. 1t may be feeble chance, but at any
rate the Southern mob would be kept from
its worst excesses. 1t would be restrained
from open iusubordnation. Above, all it
would be cut off from the African slave
trade, the renewal of which will be the
first demand Of the poor proprietors Of
the South, if once they are the supreme
arbiters of new state. There is a degra,
dation and waste of great opportunities
and resources in the picture which may
well touch the noble feelings of American
states, and may nerve them to try any ex.
Iremity rather then suffer dismal chaos Of
lawlessnes to occupy the soil of America.

WHAT WEsTERN VIRGINIA HAS GAINED
BY REMAINING LoYAL.-Some time ago
the surplus revenue ACQUIRING from the sale
of the public lands was distributed among

advice of Senators Mason and Hunter Vir-

Glowing English tribute to the North.

Glowing English Tribute TO the North.
In Once Week we find this glowing
tribute to the patriotism and self-sacrifce Of
the North!
Open, manifest, indesputable above eve
rything, is the noble spirit of the people at
large, now that the first burst of enthusiasm
would have been over if it had not been
genuine, and at the moment when the whole
significance Of the war is disclosed. They
know now what loss or ruin Of fortune most
of them must incur; they have felt some
thing of the toll and privation of military
service and the amount of needless, wan
ton, exasperating slaughter might well sick
en- the general heart. Yet there is no
flinching. The Presidents call for 4O0,-
600 men is met as eagerly as his prior call
for $4,000. When he asks whether they
will raise 9sO,0Oo,OOO for the national ser
vice, they say 90 yes" as if he asked for
100000. When the old family tombs of
the forefathers are opened, to admit the
coffin of some gallant representative of each,
the next brother starts off for the battle
field, as the "Amen"i is said over the grave.
The betrothed girl waves her handker
chief with smile, as he who should have
been her husband next week marches past
for the South, and faints away when he is
past the corner. The aged mother PAGES
her room for hours, when she is weary of
making lint, and finds her Bible brings the
tears too fast. Except very few towards,
traitors, and sordid trimmers, who try to
raise a call for compromise, there seems to
be no detection from this splcndor of patri-
atism, This is the broadest, ,plainest, weight
lest, and most brilliant fact of all that strikes
the eye.

The following patriotic letter will explain
itself:
AKRON, August 27, 1861.
DEAR SIR:-I hereby tender my resig-
nation as a member of the Democratic State
Executive Committee for the 18th Con-
gressional District. For Hon. H. J. Jewett,
the Democratic nominee for Governor, en-
tertain much personal esteem, but as the
representative of the sentiments endorsed
by the Convention which placed him in
nomination, cannot support him. In my
Judgment, at this time when our Govern.
ment itself is in danger of destruction,
there should be a thorough and united ac-
ton of all loyal citizens of Ohio to aid our
government in its endeavors to suppress
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 American
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 the Union, and
and against treason. Yours Respectfully,
GEO. w. MCNEIL.
To WILLIAM A. JOHNSON, Sec'y of State
Central Committee

Patriotic Democracy--Genuine Democ
racy.


raCy.
At recent meeting at Hudson, Sum
NIT county, of Democrats to consider the
18th of August Convention, tho following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
They were reported by Judge Van R.
Humphrey, for many years Judge of the
Court of Common Ploas under the old Con
sttution:
Resozved, That the Resolution denounc-
ing the President for suspending the writ
of HaJeas Corpus is in direct conflict with
our convictions on the subject-in that par
ticular he did right; because the emergency
demanded the exercise of that power--that
he possessed the authority, VIC have no
doubt, for the following reasons, to-wit:-
lst. The Constitution does not declare
which branch of the Federal Government
Legislative or Executive, shall be clothed
with it.
2nd Because the trainers ofthe Consti-
tution no doubt intended the power thus
conferred to be a useful, s,Jsisting power; ;
| available to the moment, TO meet an invd-
sion or rebellion, however Sudden--without
waiting the slow and tardy assembling of
Congress.
Resolved, That the resolution recon-
mending the call of a National Convention
to settle our difficulties, is as idle as it is
ridiculous. Who is to attend the Conveu-
ton, loyal men or traitors9 If the former
only, there is no need of it, for they have
already done what they could do to accom-
plish that end. Who on the part Of the
rebels have asked such Convention9 Who
would attend? One of the parties to the
controversy, as every child knows, can moi
settlet. II will be time to talk of such con-
ventiou when with arms grounded ana
suitable contrition, tho rebels ask it. We
believe with the lamented Douglas, whom
their perfdy and treachery sent to an early
f grave, that they desire no union with us
and that if left 10 make their own terms
, they would utterly refuse any alliance what
ever.
Resolved, That patriotism underlying th'
e partizau, prompts us to declare that ther'
can be but ONE UNION PARTY; that thosc
who are not for are against it; that th'
field is open to no neutral; that loyalty IL
an active principle demanding eternal vigi
lance; that the present unholy rebellion
should be put down; the Union without
spot or blemish preserved; and how much
soever we desire peace we cannot submit tC
overtures to that end, from traitors or from
rebels in arms against the Government.
, ResoIved, That we cordially, recommend
! fair and HONORABLE UNION OF ALL PAR
! TIES, in favor of the CONSTITUTION AS IT IS
of the GOVERNMENT AS IT IS, with view t.
selection for State and county offices, o
! most judicious persons, being fully convinc
ed that the time has come when the UNI
TED ENERGIES Of a mighty Nation shoulC
be felt at home and RESPECTED abroad.

The most contemplate funkeyism of
which we have any knowledge, is found in
northern men and newspapers who oppose
the prosecution OF the war for the preserva,
tion of tho Union and the suppression of
treason and rebellion. We hate n traitor
from any quarter of the country, but we de-
spise the northern man who processes to be
for the Union, and opposes the war on con-
stitutional grounds. Such men as Vallan-
digham, of Ohio, Ben. Wood, of New York,
protesting to be Union men, are yet its
most dangerous enemies. They are horri-
fed because Lincoln has violated the Con-
stitution, yet southern traitors have violated
the same Constitution, and these men only
express sympathy" for them! From such
Union men may the Lord deliver U.S.

Al true. A southern traitor is a aatur-
al tory and tOady. The New York NewS,

bold and manly words.

The Chicago Post, Democratic to the
backbone, has the following bold and pat
riotic words "The man who counsels
peace when highwayman demands your
money and you have the means of defense
ready TO be used against him, is an accom-
plce of the robber and sharer in his
guilt"
Whoever talks of any peace short ofsuch
a peace as acknowledges the validity of our
Constitution and the duty Of obedience to
the laws, is rebel. He counsels submis-
sion to the revolters and is their agent.
Whoever raises the white flag raises the
secession flag, and must as certainly expect
that it will be pulled down by an indig-
nant multitude, as if it had the emblems Of
secession glaringly displayed on its folds.
Whatever press insists that the Govern.
ment shall submit to the rebels, and abdi,
cate the powers which the people have
confded to it, is both rebel and anarchist
and renounces the protection of the laws.
