Hon. David Tod on the War.

The Mahoning Sentinel says, at the citi-
zens' meeting, to make arrangements for
giving the "Mahoning Rifles" public re-
ception on their return home from Virginia,
Honorable David Tod made some remarks,
in the course of which he took occasion to
speak in approbatory terms of the action of
the Administration thus far in regard to its
war policy. Why is it that the words of
patriotic and loyal Democrats are excluded
from the columns of the MsssenSers Is its
editor fearful that the people desire to see
the government sustained, and the traitors
punished2 Mr.. Tod said
aSome errors and oversights in his judgment
had been committed but no more than might
have fallen to the charge of any Administration
under similar exigencies. Upon the whole, the
President and his Cabinet had acted as became
patriots and statesmen, in their efforts to crush
out rebellion and preserve the Unon and their
official conduct should receive the cordial appro-
baton of every good citizen. He regretted to
observe that the spirit of fault-fnding existed,
even in this community. We have in our midst
said he rabid, mischievous Republicans, who

fast enough, and groveling, grumbling Demo-
Gratis, who characterize this as a Republican
war, in which they have no interest or respons-
ibility, that it is costing heap of money and
Iimpoverishing the country. He would ask
such what is their property worth without a
government? Suppose the war should cost five
hundred millions of dollars? What is that
amount compared with the perpetuity of a gov
ernment like ours-what compared with dem
onstration of the fact that the people of the Uni
ted States are still capable ofself- government
These so styled Democrats are mousing and eau
cusing and calling conventions, 10 further their
unhallowed ends; but, said the speaker, they
have mistaken the temper of the people of Ohio,
and this they will find out when they go TO the
polls on such an issue. The masses of Ohio are
loyal TO the Union and will not bow TO the dicta-
ton Of scheming politicians in crisis like this
Let these fellows work; they will do no harm
to any. one but themselves; their scheme, like

HOW tho Fiends treated The Wounded

1t was reported that John H. Morris, COL
orbearer of the I'd Regiment N. Y. s. NJ,
was killed. How this report originated
may be gathered from the following state
ment by Mr.. Morris, who is alive at Wash
ington, and who relates the manner in which
our wounded were slaughtered by fiondish
rebels:
"Being confined in the hospital in Cen.
terville at the time it was fired by the rob
els, l had an opportunity of witnessing their
actions with regard to the woundcd-many
of whom they dragged out through the
windows and bayoneted; others were killed
by the butts of muskets. 1 escaped by
feigning death, and scarcely daring to
breathe. They afterward fred the building,
while many were yet inside. Soon after
ward they retired, and made good my es-
cape to Washington"
Mr.. Morris was wounded in four places,
but is in fair way to recover.-Blade.

The Louisville journal on the Fight at
MANASSAS.

AAaun18AABe
The Louisville Journal has candid arti-
Gle on the battle of the 21st. 1t says that
there is little doubt that Gen. Patterson
disgraced himself, that the national troops
fought like lions for four hours, and at last
gave way only account Of the occurrence of
one Of those sudden and disastrous panics
to which the bravest troops of all nations
have in all ages been subject.
1t closes as follows:
"The defeat of the United States army
has Of course caused deep regret in all
parts of the United States, but not a mo-
ment's despondiDg, nor the slightest relax
alton of deep and stern determinations
On the contrary, it has created strong
er and more inexorable spirit of resolve
than that which has hitherto existed. The
United States can furnish greater army
than that Of Xerxes--a greater army Of
brayer men and under a far more skillful
leader. The nation might sustain a score
of such defeats as that at Manassas, and
each successive defeat would but develop
in higher degree, the nations mighty en-
ergies.

One Of The objections urged by Democratic
papers in this vicinity--by the Messenger among
the rest--against Union ticket, is that the Re-
publicans only wish to go into the arrangement
in the counties where the Democrats have the
majority. To show how unfounded and unjus
this charge is, we cite them to few facts:
The Cleveland Leadc,. and the Cleveland Her
aid Republican papers in Cuyahoga county, ia.
vor Union ticket--State District and County.
The Republican majority in that county last fall
was about $500.
The sandusky Regisser favors Union ticket
Republican majority in that county last fall was
about 900.
The Toledo Blade favors a Union ticket-Re-
publican majority last fall in Lucas county was
about 700.
The Norwalk Reflector favors Union ticket.
Republican majority in Huron county 1000.
The Ravena Democrat is in favor of Union
ticket. Republican majority in Portage county
l,lOO.
We might refer to other Republican counties
which advise union of the parties on one tick
ct, but deem the above ample to show the falsity
of the charge.
And why do the Republicans desire Union
ticketS 1t is not, as is falsely alledged by the
Messenger, that "they know that the seal of con-
demnation is placed upon their party managers
by the people," nor that "they know no Repub-
lican State ticket can be elected this fall" On
the contrary they believe their principles were
never more strongly fixed in the hearts of the
people, and that it could elect straight party
ticket this fall by at least $4,000 majority
Then why do you want Union ticketH in
quires some Democrat. We answer, that we
may show to the South united people in favor
of putting down this insane rebellion. 100000
votes cast in Ohio for a straight out Union tick
ct, unfettered by any other issue, would go far
ther towards quelling the rebellion, than would
