The Truth.

The Louisville Journal we'll says:
IF, when the troops Of the Confederate
States commenced their march upon
Washington with the avoved determi-
nation of expelling the U. S, Govern
mept and seizing the Government
archives, the Administration had made
no preparation for the defense Of the
Capital, the Disunionists all over the
country would have denounced Presi-
dent Lincoln and his Cabinet as the
most miserable of towards. And now,
because the Administration has made
preparations to give the Invaders hot
reception, the secession organs, complain
bitterly that the Lincoln Government
has called out standing army to dis
grace the Capital and render the demo
cratic form Of Government a mockery,
scorn, and by-word.' y

After the election, patriotic addresses
were delivered by DR.. J. B. Ackley and
Capt. Wallar of the Meigs county Ran
gers.
The Dr., with unusual cloquence
and power, proclaimed that the day of
compromise is past. We must fight, he
said. Concessions to mobs of armed
traitors would humble and degrade US.
If seventy five thousand men are not
enough, let twice or thrice the number
be called, for the defense of the Gbuntry.
He would blockade every Southern port,
and, if necessary, rout the traitors from
every corner. His property his life
all that he has, was ready fpf the service
Of his country. He loved the Stars and
Stripes His grandfather had fallen. and
his father fought in their defense on
the blood stained fields Of the Revolu-
ton; and he would fight and die for
them should his country demand it at
his hands.
The remarks Of both speakers were
frequuently and loudly applauded.
We have one hundred and thirty .fcc
