Northeast.

The Editor ftho JoHrnag will take
notice that" North. East" is too well
known toipalm hinselfoff as a Dem.
ocrNt. In the last Journal he says,
speaking Of us:
"And think you men Of McArthur de-
serve to have few words said to you !or al.
lowing such perfect Secessonist his Lib
erty; for Seoessiunist be certainly is, and a
strong one at that" t.t
we will just inform "North East"
that a large majority of the people Of
McAithur are in favor of sustaining
our constitutional right Of freedom Of
speech and Ofthcpress. With "North.
East" the wish is father to the thought
his own corruptioniS what suggests
us q Secessionist, anG he and his co,
workers are cowardly set Of devils,
or don't believe what they say, or
they would nave us deprived OF our
liberty; because we hold since Con-
gress, the proper authority, has de-
clared that q state Of war exists, it IS
the duty of every loyal citizen to hold
the citizens Of the seeded States as
enemies, that we can have no dealings
with them nor social intercourse. =
This is the legal result of a state Of
war; and if we are Seceseionist, you
should Immediately have us arrested.
Are you mepely stating a falsehood or
arc you too cowardly 70 cause the
arrest

Who Caused this War!

The Journal says we charged the
Republican Party at Hamden with
being the author of the war;" And
again:
''That same party led less than one yeaV
ago by Douglas, whose last dying words
should bring the blush to, and make tie
cheeks of these soulless demagogues tingle
with shame at the course they are pursuing"
Certainly you made the war-dare
you deny it2 If you do, be so good
as to publish this from the mouth Of
Senator DOUGLAS, and HE dying
words as it were, as he was then on
his last trip West before his death,
and which we have from orc Of the
staunchest Union men in the country.
DOUGLAS said:
"This Administration is responsible fol
the war, and will hold them SO at the pro.
per time before the American people

Who Will be Rich!

The last Journal, over the sigma
ture of "North East, says we will be
poorer before we are richer" and
hat he is not'the only enc who thinks
so, Judging as one can tell by looking
over our list of subscribers who dis
continued our paper "lor thosole rea
sor thatthcy were too loyal to take OIL

will be poorer than we are; we viii

tion has started down hill the bust
ness Of every man in Vinton county

poorer, and many, very many, must
be without bread and meat part ofthe
time; and if tea, coffee, sugar and
direct tax is put on the people, many
poor men and their families will have

these almost necessaries at their sup.

THIS is the substance and very near
ly tile language Of portion Of Gen.
Scott's conversation on the occasion
referred to, 1t proves conclusively
that he was opposed to the advance
upon Richmond by way of Manassas
at that time, end also that the And
ministration was almost certain to
oyerrule his objections and command
a oattle. Taken in connection with
what was said in the House OF Repre-.
sentives on Wednesday,, it leaves no
doubt on the subject
We repeat what we said yesterday,
that President Lincoln is not likely,
Of his own motion, to have ogerruled
Gen. Scott and to have forced him 10
fght a battle against his will. But
President Lincoln is, to a very great
extent, in such matter as this, in the
hands Of the Cabinet. A portion Of
that Cabinet is known to have full
and entire confidence in the military
ability of Ger. Seott;--while another
portion is equally well known to be
governed by sentiments Of personal
dislike which amount almost to hate
red. ltis not necessary 10 specify in
dividuals. 1t is u matter Of notoriety
that some mombers OF the Cabinet
have done little else during the last
few weeks, than to denounce Geaeral
Scott, ridicule his plaHs Of the cam
paign, and declGim on the necessity
Of overriding Or suporceeling him.
They have succeeded in 0verruling
him, with what results, the ceuHtry
knows too we'll. N

That Coloneley.

We are asked in the last journal,
'iJust let US slkpow, You please ,when yer
are appointed Colonel. NORTH EdSt.
We will simply state a few facts
not secrets either. We made an ap
plicstion to Coy. DENKIsoN onthe Isl
of June last for a Regimental Office,
after General Ordor No. Is Of The
War Department was issued. We
backed up the application by endorse
ment of military gentlemen of Ohio,
not A bolitiohists, well known to the
Governor, ard who knew us before
we came to FintOn county, We
made this application because we
have ever opposed a large standing
army, and consider them dangerous
to opr RepRblic; because we respect
and encourage citizen soldiory; be
csase we believe it to be tue duty ol
every citizen to use every exertion, to
be prepared to perform any duty Ills
country may require at his hands
because we wanted to sec this rebel,
lion pat down and because we
thought ourselves as efficient as some
others that were appointed.
Now, as we are not in the secrets Of
the powers that be, perhaps You can
tell when our commission will he
along; and do us the favor at the
same time to inform the public here
which member oftAe McArthur Junto
wrote a letter to Columbus, when we
went there on the 9th Of July, for the
purpose OF preventing the issue Of our
commissions And perhaps you can
inform the public why some other

The Pole raising at Allensvile was
p glorious affair fer tho Democracy Of
Old Richland. When we arrived
there the street was crowded, the Cor
net Band was there in fuIl blast, and
played admirably, A Field Band
from Londonderry was in attendance
aud good procession, with Stars and
Stripes flying. along with it. The
Democracy there are Wide.A wake.--
The delegation from Hamden and
south Of Allen was very large, and
displayed the old Flag Of our COun-
try with nary a star gone. The pole
went up beautifully with the Flag Of
our Union floating on The breeze, t9
the tune of "Our Flag is There y
"Red, White and Blue" &c. The
pole is a fine hickory LIS feet high -
After the pole was raised rain came
up, and continued some time very
heavy. At an interval we had the
the pleasure of addressingthe Democ-
racy at the church, when the crowd,
which was large, dispersed. Good
order prevailed all day. AS the
Journal said oil the pole raising Of
namden, we will recollect these two
meetings as long as we live, for rea-
sons which we will tell these people
at some future time.

The Yyar...The cni1eus DUTY.

Congress, the only branch OF this
Goyemheuts8lo could recognize war
constitulionOHy, has declared that
warm fact exists, and this same pow
er haO authoFized the raising of men
and money to prosecute It.
As citizens of the United States
now, and until peace is recognized by
the same power, we mpst, apld the
citizens OF the seeded States enemies
in war, and in peace friends. As a
loyal citizen VIC cannot act in behalf
Of or take sides with any parties at
war with our Government. We must
be faitltaI and bear true allegiance
TO the Constitution, and all lawful acts
of our Government, No difference
what your opinions may be as to the
cause of the wer, itnow exists and
and yOa must abide its results.
We adopt the following language
Of the GAINESVILLE AWaG as our ssnti.
ments, to wit:
The dGty Of voters, as free and
sovereign people, whose votes shape
the policy of the Government, is to
hold their agents and representatives
responsible for the success Of thewar,
ard the honest expenditure of the
money. lf,inthe progress of events,
it should appear thatthe people have
been deceived in their agents, who
have been entrusted with this bust
ness, and that from lack of integrity or
ability the war shall prove disastrous
to the nation, it is cause to turn of
those agents, and select others having
moro integrity and capacity to finish
the work SO improperly conducted.
There is, also, one other question
for tie grave consideration of the vo
tiers that is, the length of tilnethey
will be willing to coutinue the war.
"Shall the work Of destruction con.
tinue until the South is annihila.eC

Certainly not as it reads-that his
