Model Patriots.

These new-fangled, these model
patriots of the GIDDINGs school are
now riding the patriotic nag so
strongly, that they threaten to go
rough shod over the old veteran
Union men, whose principal bust
ness for the last twenty years has
been to save the Union against their
assaults, and from their irritating
system of measures. 1t is nc won
der that there is some restiyeness
among the Old, line Union men,
when they are threatened with
being rudely jostled and run down,
and when they see such pretensions
assumed by their old opponents,
The old fashioned sturdy Demo-
crat can't see how it is necessary
to go for the destruction of liberty
in order to save the Union. he
can't see how it is necessary to vio-
late the Constitution in order to
preserve it. He is not willing that
the only standard of power Of the
Executive shall be his ideas of
what is necessary. No mortal man
ever ought to have such great po-
litieal power as that, which is moth
ing more or less than absolute
despotism. The zeal of new con-
verts is proverbially excessive. We
would fain hope that those parti-
sans who have lately become such
extreme patriots--such great friends
of the. Union-are sincere in their
professions, but we respectfully ask
of them in their mad rush from
one extreme Of the political pendu-
lum to. the other that they do
not splash the mud in the faces of
older, if not better, Union men than
they are, and that they do not ex-
tinguish liberty beneath their iron
hoofs. AS they grow older in
patriotism we hope they will have
a wiser and better conception of
the meaning of the word, and be
as enlightened and tolerant in SEN
timent as they are now bigoted and
i~ntolerant in their views. They
may learn that because many Of
their brethren Of the North differ
with them in political policy, it
does not necessarily follow that
they are either rebels or traitors,
and that mob law and violence is
not the proper way to produce a
concert Of action between them
and their OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Does the President Mean to Change
his Opinion? AZ

The President, in his Message:
thus alludes TO the course of the
Government after the Southern re.
bellion shall have been put down,
He says:
"Lest there be some uneasiness
in the minds of candid men, as to
what is to be the curse of the
Government toward the Southern
States after the rebellion shall have
been suppressed the Executive
deems it proper to say it will be his
course then, as ever, to be guided
by the Constitution and the laws,
and that he probably will have no
different understanding of the pow
ers and duties of the Federal Gov
eminent relative to the rights OF
the States and the people under
the Constitution than expressed in
tn inaugural Address"
lie probably will have no differ
ent understanding of the powers
and duties of the Federal Govern
ment than those expressed in the
Inaugural. That is paramount to
saying that he "may possibly"
have q different understanding of
them. In his Inaugural he was
fHor maintaining the reserved rights
of the States, hut it is not certain,
according to the Message, he viii
adhere to it. This word probably
will not strengthen the confidence

No Compromise,

The Cleveland Leader, the Re.

says:

of the entire North, and
many loyal sons of the South, when
we say, make no compromise with
traitors except at the end of g
hempen cord, settleforeyer the ques.
ton of cattle slavery, and make
our nation a nation of freedom"
This Cleveland paper is an CIR.
repressible" organ, but its senti.
ments are fully backed up by the
central organ Of the Republicans
of Ohio, the State Journal, at Co.
lumbus, which, on the third day Of
July, 1851, in speaking of a con.
tinued war, said:
"With such q, probability, such
a possibility before us, what would
be the duty of the President? We
do not hesitate to answer the ex-
ercise of his undoubted right to
proclaim immediate freedom to the
SLAVES, and thus destroying slavery,
to end the war at once"
This is the language of the cen.
trail organ of the Republican party
in Ohio. Do our Republicans In
Clermont county endorse it? What
do you say to that, gentlemen
Are you ready for President Lin
coin to exercise his "undoubted
right to proclaim immediate free.
dom" to the four millions of slaves.

rant set Of human beings? Is this

from Springfield to Washington
City, he made several little speeches,
in most of which he indicated that
his policy would be peaceful, on
the principle of compromise, and
that he would pursue a policy ad-
verse to coercion, or force. In his
Inaugural address he took occasion
to say

which warn us of the impending

er, and we shall soon place the
Democratic Press at the head of all
the weekly papers, within one hun
dred miles of Eaton. We must
have thirteen hundred subscribers

Democracy, and the Oonstitu-
tional Rights of the People.

WE call the undivided, earnest
and determined attention of oul
Democratic readers to the above
summons to meet in convention, al
the town of Eaton, Preble county,
Ohio, ON Saturday, the 9th day
of July, 1861. The most important
and weighty business ever submit
ted to the calm and wise considera-
ton of the people, will be fully
entered into at the great meeting
q which we now advertise.
In our leader, published on the
18th of June, 1861, we state most
emphatically, that we could see
breakers ahead" that "wars
create their own concomitants,"
that the Executive Power is apt
to assume q degree of authority on
extraordinary occasions, which it
would not dare to arrogate to itself
in times of ordinary peace"
Never, that we remember, since
the day when King John was CON-.
pelled,-on Runnimead Island, in
the river Thames, near Windsor
C%astle,-by the barons and people,
TO sign the Magma Charta, has any
King, Protector, or Prince, attempt
ed to suspend the writ of Habeas
Corpus, in the United Kingdom
why, then, should it have been sus-
pended in the great, free, and
glorious States of Democratic
America? Democrats of Preble
county, we tell you that your Con-
stitution--your liberties-your local
or State laws, and privileges, are
in danger from the encroachments
of the Executive, and from those
Mcapables, who are wiser in their
town conceit, than seven men that
can render o reason"
Our paper to-day contains facts
drawn from a number of other
highly respectable papers, which
are both startling and alarming.
1t would appear that all that some
politicians want, or live for, is to
"scatter frebrands, arrows, and
DEATH" We have now two great
armies in the field Of battle and of
death. Those who think that the
South will prove victorious, and
capture Washington, are not we'll
posted on the difficulties in the way,
and on the strength of the force
which is now ready to fight the
enemy in the gate. On the other
hand, those who think that our
army, however great and brave,
oan quickly fight its way, through
fierce and determined hosts of
armed men, fighting at home, and
through deep rarines, narrow pass.

= Tha President asks FOR fou

NJ. The President asks for four
hundred thousand men, and for
four hundred millions of dollars,
to carry on this war with. He
thinks that amount of money is a
very modest demand, as it is only
about the "twenty-third part of the
money value" of all the people OF
the loyal States. The 400, 900 men
are only about one-tenth part OF
the population able to bear arms.
The question now is, will it be
better to turn out every tenth man
to this war, and every man, woman,
and child give one tweuty-third
part Of all his and her money value,
to carry on this civil war, or for
Congress to fix up an honorable
compromise, as it may do, and thus
end the war, aud save the Union
as II was.--U ermopt Go. Sun.
