Principles of Concession and
promise"

In the last Mt. Vernon (O.) Banner
we find the following as the objects and
sentiments OF a military Company organ
lied in that County:
ReSoloed, That we, the undersigned,
agree to form ourselves into Military
Company, for the purpose of constituting
a Home Guard. The object of this associa-
ton shall be to assist in the enforcement
of the Constitution and Laws of the
country, preventing insurrcction, and the
preservation of tie principle hat every
citizen has tie rigMto cypress fully his
opinion in regord to the political policy Of
tie country being amenaj!e for The oJuye
Of Hot right.
Resotpcd, That we deplore the unhappy
results that have grown out of the miser-
able pretended humanity of fanaIical
abolitonsm, and which we fear has now
irretrieveably divided this once happy
and glorious American Union.
ReSolVed, That this Union can only he
constructed and maintained by the cult
vation Of those principles OF concession
and compromise which animated its glori-
Gus founders.
Resolved, That we believe that"war is
0iSanion, certain inevjtabc and rreparaWe,
or in language of Hon. G.. Delano, )"
there can be no Union By COERCION" and
while we shall hold ourselves ever ready
to assist in repolling invasion, we are OPP

Bogus Union Sentiment.

After all the hypocritical blowing of
the Republicans about the triumphant
success Of the Union men in Maryland
and Kentucky, who have made such a
gallant fight under adverse circumstances
and came out victorious we see an al
most united sentiment from the Republi-
can press, deprecating any effort on the
part of the members elect, to do what
they were elected to- do, viz "Save the
Union" unless they will adopt the pre-
scriptions of the very "irrepressible" Re
publieans, who with the aid Of the South.
ern secessionists, have brough about our
trouble.
The New York World is very fearful
such men as Crittenlen may possibly do
some good and attempts to forestall
their action, and denominates the men at
the North who may favor propositions
made by him, or by otherslof the Union
members, as Northern conspirators of
Jeff Davis"
The "irrepressible Abolitionists Of the
North are the real conspirators of the Sc
cessionists of the South, and there are
none others in the North.
In short, the Republicans who profess
to be, but who are not, Union men, have
set to work to render useless the very vic
tory of the Union men in Maryland and
Kentucky, over which they have been
pretending such great Joy.
We make the predictior-that in a
very short time tho "inepressible" Re-
publicans, who are pretending to be I'm
ion men par crceNence, will be bitter in
their denunciations Of the Union men
who have been elected, and will, like Gen.
Ashley, think they are worse than seces
sionists.
They fear such mem as are elected will

they have run so often heretofore without going

however, we will have more TO say at another

n union with the Black Republicans for the defeat
of the Democratic ticket. The bargains and
sales, and other arrangements are being secretly
made between the Black Republicans and the
6ol.ers. We are informed by one who has been
communicated with on the subject that the ar
rangcment is for one person from each township
TO meet In Millersburg at an early day TO cook

The rascality and thicving of both State
and National officers, elected to carry out
the Chicago platform has become so no
torious, that detail of their corruptions
and swndlings would be an act of su-
pererogation.
Latterly the Republican press have be,
come somewhat famous for the dcnuncia
tion of their own officers. This apparent
virtue of the Tory presses is in keeping
with their vehement recommendation for
all parties to go in and elect the same
class Of public robbers to plunder the
people of whatever may be left after the
present highwaymen shall be satisfied.
The only remeday within the reach of
the people is to elect men to office, who
will have respect Col the Constitution and
the laws, and their oath of office. Turn
ont all these higher law Chicago men,
Nothing better could he expected Of the
violators of constitutional obligations,
than the robbery of the public funds, and
the defraudmg of the volunteer soldiers,
The cry of stop thief from all the Tory
presses in the land does not reform one
abuse, or prevent any additional public
swindle. 1t is intended to be blind to
prevent the honest tax payers from elect
ing honest men with honest principles
They are afraid that the next election will
prevent all plundering for the future

The Governor of Illinois has appointed
o. II. Browning, a straight-out Republi-
can, to fill the seat in the Senate made
vacant by the death of the gifted Douglas.
This action on the part of the Executive
of Illinois, does not accord with the proc
amation made some weeks ago that there
was "no party" The Fremont MeSSen-
ger, speaking of that dodge says:
The cry of "no party' is all grand,
VILE, BAREFACED humbug, The Dem
ocracy everywhere are ready to uphold the
constitution and laws of the country and
ever have been. They have clean, un-
tarnished record, upon that point; but
hare Rever been, ARE NOT NOW, AND NEN-
Err WILL BE ready or willing by act,
WORD or DEED, to endorse the unconsti.
tional dogmas of the republican party.
The Democracy have no sins to repent Oh
nothing to take back or amend-thcy form
the great, constitutional law abiding I'M
ion party that it ever has and we pray G cd
ever will be. This is their great sim
ever has been in the eyes of men now in
power. The Democracy have shown their
readiness to stand by the constitution and
laws Of the country and assist in putting
down the great rebellion now in progress;
but in doing so, they do not-wILL NOT
CANNOT endorse the doctrines preached
by the republican party.
While tho Democrats of the North will
shoulder their muskets to support the
constitutional authorities of the country
in all legal eilo'tS to put down rebellion,
they will still hold fast to their organiza.
ton, believing that the party now in
power is totally incapable of estoring
peace to our nov distracted but once hap
py and prosperous people, Mr., Lincoln
knows this, hence his opposition to the
appointment of a friend of Judge Douglas
to the Senate.

Questions for Republicans TO

Had Abe Lincoln the right to call out
seventy five thousand men for three
months?
Had he the right to enlist men for three
years in the army and navy?
Had he the right to wage war against
any nation or any State?
Has he the right to blockade the ports
Of any nation or State.
Has he the right to borrow money
without the previous sanction of Con-
gress? .f.
Has he the right to seize citizens and
hold them prisoners of war in Missouri?
has he the right to suspend the habeas
corpus act? '....
Has he the right to refuse obedience to
the United States Court and incarcerate
free men?
Had he the right to invade Kentucky
and Missouri?
And last, but not least:
Have not the dissolution of the Union
by the secessonsts of the Southern States
and the present war been brought about,
almost solely by the necessary agitation
of the subject of slavery in the North?
Let us have fair, candid, and dispas-
sionate response to the queries above pro.
pounded, before the elections take place sc
that every citizen of Ohio may know how
to cast his ballot.-PortsmouM Patriot
