Liberty is the syren Aong Of the traitor.
Freedom ofspeech aud the Press 70 crush
out freedom and aid in the destruction Of
our liberties Is avowCd as a sacred con
stilutional right. Some papers are hor.
ror stricken At the thought that a paper in
the open advocacy Of treason, should, in
time Of open rebellion, be treated as 9th.
or enemies Of our country. The JEFF.
Davis paper Of Missouri, was silenccd as
we would silence a mask battery, when
al sympathizers sent up a wall for our
lost liberties and tremble for their own
fate. These papers now, "knowing that
their time 10 short" like their old proto-
type, the Dragon, are sending odt their
uninterrupted stream Of poison, broad
cast over the land, for free distribution.
We hear Of the New York Day-Book
through the country everywhere, for gra-
tuitous circulation, aud presume the
Journal Of Commerce and News will be
equally appreciated by the rebel allies
But should these batteries be silenced,
there IL another class Just behind them
that would cry out, gag, gag, liberty of
speech In danger, tyranny over the presa
&c" This latter class have not yet the
courage to openly advocate treason or the
cause Of traitors, but they are at heart
our country's enemies. They ore shock
cd because the Administration saved tho
capital aud the Government archives by
the exercise Of doubtful Constitutional
powers. They evidently, from their log
&c, would bo better pleased to see Davis
the traitor, 10 possession Of the Capital
and archives unconstitutionally than the
President. Irsome Yankee should hang
Davis with a stolen rope, the larceny
alone would iill their thoughts and give
them the nightmare.
Show us the enemies Of our country
and It's Constitution, and we will advo-
cate their destruction, constituiionally II
not practically, but tho salvation Of our
country hall cover our grierfor doubtful
means, nor will we analyze the blood for
kindred sympathy. The day is not far
distant when the internal enemies Of our
country, whether Congressman, publish
ers or spies, will command our attention.

TO THE People OF OHIO.

The undersigned deeply sensible OF
the dangers now hanging over our ma
tional government, and impressed with
the CONVICTION that they can only be
Hyerted by the united action of the whole
people, in which patriotism shall take
place Of party spirit, respectfully and
earnestly call upon all loyal citizens OF
Ohio, who are in favor of the mainte.

orous and continued prosecution of the

dates for the different State Offices which
are to be filed at the general election in
October, to-wii: the Offices Of Governor,
Lieut.. Governor, Judge Of the Supreme
Court, Comptroller, Treasurer, Secreta-
~ OF State and one member Of the Board
Of Public Works.
To save further trouble IN arranging
the details Of this important .move-
ment, we suggest that the Convention
consist of one delegate for each thou
sand OF the aggregate vote cast in each
county for Supreme Judge at the last
election, with one additional delegate for
each surplus half Of the ratio, varying
this appOrtionment however, so as TO Sc
cure not less than two delegates from
every county, and an even number from
all. Under this apportionment the sew
eFal counties will be entitled to delegates
as follows:
Here follows list Of counties and the
number Of delegates from each. The
Convention is to be composed Of 45s
delegates, Of which Erie co. will have 4,
Seneca 8, Sandusky 4, Ottowa 2, Lorain

We further suggest that the delegates
bc chosen by county conventions to be

An unbroken chain Of pickets now
extends along the potomac from Harper's

that the troops mnrching this morning

by one or more batteries Of rifled puns.

however, that Gen. Mcclellan has been
preparing TO aggregate, IA far as possible,
the troops ofCHch generals command, to.
gether, and these movements look az
though they are but to that end, so far as
General McCalPs command Is concerned.
There arc already up the river two
MINNESOTA and one New Hampshire repi-
fhent, with artillery, which form aportiou
of the column Of Gen. Mccall, who will
be in ample force to punish any possi-
BILE experiment the enemy may essay by
way OF attempting TO throw a body OF
troops across tn Potomac; which we dc
not believe he designs trying to do.
We place no confidence In the shiftinps
Of small bodies OF the enemy in this Vi.
oinity as signs Of their purpose Of at.
tempting 10 cross the Potomac or to al.
tack our lines on the other eide of the
river. We think they mean simply
movements TO occupy somewhat advanc.
ed positions, similar TO the changes O.

troops daily taking place; all Of which
tend to strengthen their general position
for deienceS and enable thcm sooner tc
