In commenting upon this text the Mil
waul;ie -Neacs remarks !:
"Gcs, it lives-but we have civil war,
a broken Union,an enormous public debt,
II direct tax, an oppressive tariff, an empty
treasury, deserted capitol. The grave
of Washington is in hostile land. Half
a million men in arms to maintain the
President in his seat. n thousand battle
fields drink the blood of our country's
children. The deep trenches are filing
up with the bodies Of our laireSt sons
The nation awakes each day to the boom
of hostile guns. The glittcring bayonets
OF regiments of men are passing along
he streets to the murderous work of the
battlefield. The people rise in the morn
ing and lie down at night amid scenes OF
mortal strife. The newspaper columns
throng with the sickening details OF muir
der Nd death. The old gorgeous banner
Of the Union, with its cheerful Llazonrv,
once the radiant emblem of greatness,
progress, unity and power, .dIoops amid
the smoke OF the conIlict--ts glory paled,
many stars stricken out. Prisons full !;
grain fields barren homes in mourning !;
husbandmen turned soldiers the plow
idle in the iurrow great ships rotting at
the wharves If our cities grass growing
in places where busy feet were wont to
tread; the avenues of trade locked up !;
the voice of humanity slillcd in the din
of the earthly work of fighting men the
family circle torn asunder in hostile
groups; free speech restrained free
press hampered the writ Of right sus-
pended the civil law superseded mil
itary law existing and its permanent es-
tablishment threatened, predicted, and
probable-this is Republicanism in its
full fruition all this the bitter fruit of
Rcpubllcanism not yet dead For the
sake of country, people, the world, and
for the cause of liberty and Union, would
that it had been strangled in its birth.

knights Of the Golden Circle

On the eve of the late election a terrible excite
men was raised by the Republican tricksters about
tho cxistanoe of n formidable secret disunion or.
ganisation in Ohio, known as the Knights of the
Golden Circle. The hulnbug was started in Marion
county Aiidavits made, on which many
men were arrested and held to answer ut the u
5. Court under heavy bonds. Two men in Ma
ron county testified, in tho preliminary cxamina-
alton Of the accused to the exstance and criminal
character Of the organization and To the connection
OF prominent citizens with il. One of these wit.
nesses shortly after giving this testimony bee me
insane and 50 continued until lie died, ard the
other one fled tho country. No doubt exists Of
their having been guilty of perjury at the instance
OF candidates for Office. On the first day of the
present term Of the United States Court Tie men
arrested from Marion county were discharged.
The reason assigned for their discharge was that
there was no evidence against them. number
of men were arrested in Morrow county; after n
thorough investigation by number Of persons
entrusted with that duty large majority of them
being Republicans, IL was unanimously concluded
that the facts did not sustain the asserted is.cnce
OF that rany other reasonable secret orgatisa
ton. IL Is pretty well establish indeed IL has not
been denied, that Democrats. In certain localities
when mob violence was threatened, did organize
secretly for mutual protection of person aud prop.

treas6nabe aims in view, nor had they any doigns
other than protection against unlawful attacks.
when the threats of nobbing were stopped these
organizations seem to have 'plnycd out." Ilny

We are not liberty .y HJclosc what We know of the
