The EJuiOn gwi0dfEe.

We were told in the summer, that
the Union Movement was not party
movement. That party had nothing
to do with it. That it was patriotic
and sinless, conceived in piety, and
brought forth in holiness, and too exalt-
cd in purpose to inquire whether a can
didate for office was Democrat or Re
publican, provided only that he was in
favor of maintaing the Union by the
suppression of rebellion. No man
can dispute that the character which
we assign to the Union movement, is
that which was given to it by its friends.
In this manner many Democrats.
not intending to make any permanent
surrender of their party principles, laid
them aside for the time being, and
voted with the spurious Unionists; and
numerous Democrats, with the same
views precisely, permitted themselves
to be run as candidates, and accepted
seats in the Legislature. The scheme
provided to be a decided hit, which
with the auxiliary aid of the mob and
the Federal power, prevented the ex~
posre of Republican iniquity, and eff
fected the defeat of the Democracy.
And now, after the election is all
over, imagine the surprise of every
body, and especially Of the Democrats
elected to the Legislature, as well as of
the Democrats who voted for them,
when it is annoueed that the iiliterate
and vulgar old ruffian, Ben Wade,
must be elected to the Senate! That
Democratic Senator's and Representa-
tiycs must vote for him! That if they
don't do so, they will be guilty Of
trcachery wholly unexampled IN the
history Of mankind! e
Now, let us understand this: Were
the Republicans guilty Of !, nlonstrous
and fraudulent lie when they invited
the Democrats to join their No-Party
party? Or arc they guilty ofa n on
strous and fraudulent lie now, when
they say that Democrats, elected by
the aid of Democratic votes, are under
any obligations, express or implied, to
u u te for the reelection Of an odious
.nd pischievous abolitionist to q seat
sl,;ch for twelve long years he has
ae6led an 1 disgraced in the Senatcis Senatci

n~Tbis war ;s be;nc corr;ed q,

H@@This war is being carried oil
for the purpose of restoring the Union
we are told by those in authority, an,
We have no reason to doubt it. We al
confidently expect that ere long ou'
Government viii have, as in days O
yore, full possession of all the channel:
on the southern coast, and the samt
Government that governs us will gov
crn all sections of the Union. We all
hope and pray for this, and wish ou
prayers to be speedily answered.
Such being the case, can any one tel
us the use or necessity of purchasing q
lot of old Yankee whaling vessels from
the ''bcloved inhabitants of New Eng.
land, ut an enormous price, and filling
them with stone, and then taking them
to Southern channels and sinking them,
to prevent vessels from passing thro
these channels. In tie course Of time
our Government will have the control
and use Of these channels. But what use
will these channels be to this nation il
they arc filled up with lot of sunkcn
ships? When the Government has full
sway over the whole Union, (Which we
hope may be soon,) then these dearly
bought Yankee old whale ships, which
Mr.. Secretary Welles purchased from
his PARTICULAR friends in Yankecdom,
will have to be removed at much
greater expense than it costs to place
them there, which God knows was
enough for treble their number. We
would in all honesty and candor say,
that the sinking of these old whalcrs is
a very useless expensive job, that does
no good whatever, unless, it is to the
Yankees who have received a heavy
pile of money for them.
1t would be far more economical for
the Government if they would pay
their Yankee partizan pets in some oth>
or manner, than by purchasing their
old worn out whalers for the purpose
they have. lately been purchasing them
for.

The Development Of n yankee
Trick GA a Large Scale.

| ''H@ OA a AuEEC SChtcs
We have elsewhere spoken Of the
British trap into which the American
people have so unwisely fallen. And
we now call the attention of Western
people specially to another scheme,
planned by their own countrymen, of
which they have been made the unsus>
pecting victims, and which the Yank-
ecs are making pay much better than
any former speculation,
The Cincinnati Enquirer has a Re,
publican correspondent, whom that pa
per admits into its columns for the laud-
able purpose oflctting its readcrsknow
what gcnunine Rcpublicanisn consists
of-nnuch, We suppose, as the Greeks
used to make their slaves drunk, and
exhibit them to their children as a
warning against intcmperancc. In one
of his late letters, this correspondent
ceases his ordinarily incendiary talk,
and gives facts and figures which must
prove very startling to all classes of
Western people. #
These figures show that the war is
immensely profitable to New England,
while its burdens fall with crushing
force upon the people of the West.
Months ago, it was shown that
Western lands would pay altogether
out of proportion to their value of the
direct taxes levied for the prosecution
of the war; but this is a trifing matter
when compared with the ruinous losses
inflicted on Western trade for the ben
eft of that of New England. The
Yankees flourish. Every ship is busy,
hired by the Government. Every
railroad is making immense profits
Stocks arc going up at a marvellous
rates. Manufactures, under the Morrill,
tariff, and by reason of war demands,
are making those engaged in them i'm
mensely rich. Even a certain sort of
foreign trade is made increditably lu-
crative to this favored section. One
dealer in groceries and calico made
three hundred thousand dollars in a
single transaction in Liverpool.
But the West is PROSTATE. Her
trade is destroyed. The Mississippi is
closed. Produce is worthless. Corn
will probably be burned as fuel. Pork
three dollars per hundred. &C., &C., &c.
Who does not see, in all this, the
rcsons of antislavcry agitation in New
England-their opposition to Compro-
mise--thoir advocacy of war, and OPP
position to peace?
And now, good friends of all this
mighty West! would you not have been
better off if you had paid less attention
to the advice of Greeley, Mrs. Stowe,
Sumner, Hale, Wilson, and other
Yankee Abolitionists who are now reap
ing golden harvests, while your profits
have disappeared? And if you had
given greater heed to the admonitions
of men whom you cursed as minions of
the Slayc-Power, tools of the Slave
Oligarchy, Union>Savers, and Com
promisers? AS Mr.. Lincoln once said,
we assert nothing. We are only ask
ing questions Logan Gazette.

HD Cambridge, over here in Guern-
sey county, for the size of the place, is
the greatest town to turn out Quarter
masters for the Army that we have
ever heard of. They have already three,
and how many more they have in pros
peet, is more than we can tell. The
three that are alre ldy appointed, are
as follows: Both Regiment, Mr.. Lof>
land, said to be an excellent appoint
ment; Mr.. Douglas, editor of the Times,
and totally unfit for the place, as time
will prove, Quartcrmaster of the 18th;
and the last appointment is Mr.. VIM.
d. Farrar, a one horse lawyer and
country singing master, Quartermaster
ofthe 65th Ohio Regiment, Sherman S
brigade. 1t is not necessary to note
the fact we suppose, that all the good,
bad and Indifferent Quartermasters
from that town, arc all the rankest
kind of Republicans. That would not
be necessary to tell our readers, when
they. know that his Excellency, VIM
Dennison, Jr., make the appointments.

Getting Tire.l of the Name.

Some time since the delegates rep
resenting the people OF Western Vir.
ginia, in dividing tte State Of Virgin
ia; were anxious TO get nd Of the name
of Virginia, and determined to cali
their new State KanaRha. After re-
peating that name for several months,
they became tired Of it, and in their
convention now in session in Wheeling,
they have resolved to have another
name. After various ballots anda great
deal Of talk about nothing, they have
finally concluded to call their new State
-"WEsT VIRGINIA. How long they
Wilt be satisfied with this name time
must determine.
1t would have been far better for
tl4ean if they had remained as they
were, and let the strong arm Of the
Gcverrlment' brought Virginia back
into Union, which with every other
seeded State, will be done in the
course oftiulc. 1t was bad policy to be
dividing Stater, when the grand rally
gcry Of tie people is "UNroS. "

They are not disposed however to make war upon
