81 0lr Jessie. ,

The name of one Northern woman is
recorded, who, without making a fuss,
or having it announced in the newspa-
pers, is doing her duty at her husbands
side, and does not complain of wearisess
or fatigue, or find it necessary to leave
him to 90 to fashionable watering places,
or keep posted in the doings Of the fash
ionable world. The honored name is
that of Mrs. Frcmont--" Our Jessie" Of
long ago, the wife Of Presidential can
didate, the admired Of the higher circles
in London and Paris, as well as in Amer
lea, and now the active, industrious secre-
tary of her husband, his confidential adj
wiser, his Invaluable reporter, who takes
notes Of Important facts and statements
/ during the Generals interviews with the
officers of his command, attends to much
of his business correspondence, and IN
every respect supplies the place of q
thoughtful, industrious second self.
That is a wife who is worth cargoes of
the stuffed and painted and bedizened
women who, got up after the style of the
latest fashion plate, think they form the
completest model Of an ancient muse or
a modern grace. It's to be hoped "Jen-
kins" won't get his eager eye upon Mrs
Fremont, because the beauty of her work
is that it is done in q quiet, unostenta-
tious manner, from her pure, womanly
instinct of love and duty, and it would
destroy its great charm to have it hawked
and placarded like new patent medi-
cine. There is no danger, however; the
perfumed, patent-leathered, kid-gloved
jenkins delights in what is brilliant, fiashy
and meretricious, and would not dream
of assisting even "our Jessie" to over
haul her husbands musty papers, in his
dingv western Office.

Senator Johnson.

This noble patriot, in his speech ut
Cincinnati, stated the gist Of the nation
nj crisis in the following plain words:
"And if this rebellion should succeed
in DESTROYING tho Government, as I pray
God it may not, then there would be es-
tablished upon its ruins either an aristo-
cracy or monarchy. The question sub
mitted to you is not shall we stop at
Manassas? butthe issue is, you must eth
er conquer them or they will conquer
You. If they take Washington, do you
think they will stop? No. They will
take Baltimore; and if they take Bati
more, they will want Philadelphia; and
having Philadelphia, they will march to
New York, until, as their Secretary of
War said in Montgomery. they will die
tate the terms Of their compromise within
the walls of Faneuil Hall. Ispeak plain
ly; it is their intention TO give you mill
tary dictatorship. The same bayonets
which destroy this Government will die
tate the next Instead of Constitution,
they will give you swords and bayonets.
We need moi mince nor hesitate in this
matter. We speak in common parlance
you must either whip them, or they
will whip you. They are. many of them,
insolent proud braggarts, ike spoiled
children; and badly spoiled, at that
You must whip it out of them, or they
will whip you" Loud applause.)

sE Several papers have commented
upon the fact that the name of ]. d. ReY-
inert is attached to the call of the Dem
ocratic State central committee. As a
member of the committee be did his du-
ty in singing the call and he does not en-
terrain doubt, but that the convention
when assembled, will express the opinion
Of the democratic masses of Wisconsin,
without reference to the politica peculiar
tiles of either of the members of the com.
nor does he see any reason to fear the
result of its deliberations; but feels sssur-
ed that it will come fully up to the emer-
gencies Of the occasion. We would be
happy to call on Bro. Lutte. for plank to
span the distance be places between Be.
riah Brown and eurself. We have always
felt that Beriah was sure of heaven, end
we don't know what we have done to he
kept so far away from HIM. Come ''Bro.
Lutte be aisy, and ifyou can't be aisy
be as aisy as you can. There is n time
when the lion and The lamb shall lie
down together and we will make room
for you on the platform and q fine chair

Bold WORDS FROM DEMOCRATIC
PApER.-The Cleveland Pldin3ealer, a
Democratic paper, whose patriotism is
not Of the sham kind, says in its is ne Of
the Sd instant: " We demand, as one Of
the people, that there be no more sickly
hesitation OF dalying. When the saliva
ton Of our country demands it, we will
bear patiently with strong government.
For the salvation of our country, we can
pardon even temporary trespass on our
rights. We hope Gen. .Rosencranz will
see the card Fremont has played and
follow suit in Kanawha. Let the sword
scruple not at any means necessary for
orr success in putting down treason
There is little danger of any permanent
CIV in the abridgement Of of freedom, so
Jealous are we Of our rights, and so
strongly anti despotic are all our feel
ings. For the good Of all, we are will
ling to see all the power used that can be
available for the complete subiugaton Of
this brutal, uncaled for and unnatural
rebellion"

THE Republicans of Ohio are an I'M

States 1t gave Lincoln 23l ,610 votes
to 1913 .637 for all others. Yet the Re-
pubicans of that State have united in
calling and holding q Union State Con +.
vention and nominating a half-and-half
ticket, headed by DAVID TeDD, Union
Democrat who has once or twice already
received the full Democratic vote Of the
State for the office. Does not their course
put to shame that of the Dean Richmond
Democracy ofour State? We hope and
believe Mr.. Todd viii be elected in Octo-
Der by an overwhelming majority. He
has been in past times a Democrat, but
he has the patriotism and good sense to
discard party names and devote his ener-
gies to,his country he is largely engaged
in the iron and coal business, and has one
son already in tho army. In speech
a few dsyssince he said of the war, she
would give his last iron pig, the last tun
of coal, his last son; and then, if necess-
airy, he would give himself to the cause
Of his country" Such are the politics we
ask for in candidates for ofice.-New
