ETDuYiN0 HoRsEs. u. s. Quarter
master Craig has employed Mr.. George
Frasier, of Mt Pleasant, to examine and
purchase the 400 horses advertised for by
the government. Mr.. Frasier is one ofthe
best horse judges in this part of the State,
and is doing himself great credit, as well as
securing good lot of horses for the Govern
ment, at low rates. Mr.. Craig has certain
ly acted very wisely in securing the services
Of 80 competent man as A1r Fraiser. The
complaints made by sellers are very different
from thosemade in relation to the purchas-
es on Wheeling Island No blind, Wind
broken, lame horses are bought for sound
ones. The only complaint made is that there
is no opportunity to cheat the Government !;
and that sellers are bound to take areasona-
Die price for their horses. If the Govern
ment will always employ such men as Mr..
Frasier to buy, there will be no more frauds
on Uncle Sam.

We say now that Mr.. Grove did not mai
those petitions at Belmont, but sent then

DSA-The Unconditional UnionAn of the
Chronicle. Last spring the editor in Il speech
at the Union meeting, declared that sooner
than see slavery extended one inch he would
see the country sunk, On Saturday last in
public conversation in Bellaire, when the
subject of Unconditional Unionism was up.
and AS Abe had said that this country could
not exist part slave and part free, but must
be all one or all the other-this editor was
asked if he was such an unconditional Union
man that he would be for the Union even if
slavery was extended all overiR He prompt
" replied NO! thus showing that his
Unionisn is like that of the much abused
Loyejoy all centred in the negro.
Thoabove We clip from the Gazette of this
week. The editor has been meeting with so
many backsets lately that we really pity the
poor fellow, aniwould willingly suffer him to
lie on US as much as he thinks proper, in or

is getting elsewhere, if his lieswero original,

more than one occasion attempted to make

The Peoples Movement.

The Cleveland PLAN Dealer in speaking
ofthe action ofthe Republican Central Com
mittee, says: a-it
Thus they dismiss their political organiza-
ton and fall back into the ranks ofthe peo-
pie. and leave the otherpolitical organizations
to follow suit or fight the people. As the
Democratic Convention will meet on the 7th
of August we confidently expect that the
proposition will be accepted and the great
work of the Nations salvation be allowed to
override and supercede all local wranging
and chickering's. The onus Of giving to the
war united front in Ohio, is now on the
Democracy, and let us meet the proposition
in the spirit with which it was made, feeling
and knowing that the great State of Ohio is
for the preservation of this glorious country
intact, and will so decide at the polls, if un-
trammeled, by majority that will place the
balance of the vote in the list of scattering.
We know that old stagers, old political
hacks, of all parties, will struggle hard
against coming down to a level with the
masses in the management of making NOM
nations. They will yield up the ,0ies as
| they would yield up life itself.
The great ship ofthc Union is in sink,
ing condition, and we decidedly prefer tc
pump together rather than to perish togeth
