na. Among the tricks played by
our political opponents during the
last fortnight, to prevent Demo-
Gratis from seeing the right Ticket
the Democratic Union Ticket
has been that of holding our paper
back at village post-oficcs. 1t
would appear that men who have
made a solemn oath, to deliver all
that comes to hand in the shape of
newspapers and letters, when de-
manded, set a higher price upon
party and sectional politics, than
upon their oath. We know them,
and they are remembered by deter
mined Democrats. We begin to
thinkthat we have had Just enough
of the scoundrelism of the office
bearers of whom we now complain.
Our property is being intentionally
destroyed, and our Democratic

Of their legal and moral rights, by
parties who ought not to be trusted,
and are unworthy of respect.

DAYTON Democratic Mass Meet

On the evening of the Both ult.,
we had the pleasure of attending
q Democratic Meeting in Dayton.
A three hours notice was given,
and upwards Of a thousand true
Democrats assembled in Beckel's
Hall, to hear addresses from the
Hon. II. j. Jewett, and J. G. Mar
shall, Esq. Mr.. Jewett was una
voidably absent, but the disappoint-
ment was forgotten while listening
to the soul-stirring Union senti-
ments expressed in the speeches of
the Hon, G. L. Vallandigham, and
Mr.. Marshall. The meeting was a
decided success. We are sorry that
we cannot say the same of the
COUNTY FAIR,
which was held in Dayton last
week. Notwithstanding the praise
worthy excrtions ofthe Committee,
there was a very poor display.
One good thing we saw there was
Cooley's Upright lever Double Act
ing Force Pump. We witnessed
its operation, and have no hesita-
ton in saying that it is the best
thing we have ever seen in the
pump line. On Friday, we visited
CAMP CoRwIN,
whore the LIST Dayton is at present
stationed. We were much graft
fed at witnessing the cvolutions Of
this fine body Of men. Considering
that a large number Of them have
only been in camp for a few days,
their proficiency is wonderful.

"reminiscences without referring to

-Hace We ling Policy at AM
We have looked forward with
deep interest to a day, when our
Government should arrive at the
conclusion, to which, not only our
own people, but, the entire outside
world long ago arrived, that the
mighty struggle between the North
and the South, is not a struggle
wagcd by savage or scmi-barbar-
Gus nations, but one between two
great belligerent powers.
This war, it is true, was the re-
suit of q wicked and accurscd re-
bellion but is it not true that
nearly every war the world has
ever seen was, in its inception, a
rebellion? In former ages, when
war was the common pursuit OF
mankind, expeditions were organ
lied purely for the purpose of con-
quest; but, in almost every case,
the struggle was between what
was termed legitimate authority.
and an ambitious or indignant peo-
pie.
The right Of revolution is not
only sacred, but inalicnable and
no human being enjoys even the
right to bind himself to support,
under all circumstances, any form
Of earthly government. The gov,
crnment which is right to-day, may
be wrong to morrow; and it is
success, and success alone, which
hallows q revolution and it is the
magnitude of q popular or convcn-
tional outbreak which dive3ts it OF
the character Of a rebellion, and
imparts to it the dignity Of war.
This principle is conceded by all
the greatest law writers Of the
world.

THE LATE CoMET.-M, Leverrier,
the distinguished French astrono.
mcr, recently said, in the French
Academy Of Science, ave do not
know this comet: it is the first
time it visits us, and those who
have endeavored to predict its
course, determine its distance from
the earth, and measure its tail,
have either deceived themselves or
the public" lie stated that it re-
sembled nore Of the comets that
had hitherto been observed, and
that astronomers could not say
whether it is periodical or not, APP
p%earances being against its return.
BY his calculation on June 80, it
was 100000 of miles distant from
the earth. The peculiar phenom-
ena connected with this comet
throws much confusion on the little
we know of these mysterious and
cratic bodies.

The Election Day.

Well, we rose rather later than
usual on Tuesday morning, the 9th
of October, 1861, looked out at our
window, and found that our kind
neighbors, but political opponents,
were in the field and actually
drawn up for battle. AS aschal-
lenge to us and our body guard,
a bill was posted up at an early
hour, on a board, at the gate lead
ing to the Court House. We
smiled, formed our plan of attack,
and, three hours after our honor
able politicians of the fusion school
had fired their first electioneering
squib, we, in our impudence, ven
tured to fire our Democratic Union
gun-a twenty four FOUNDER the
shot entered the brains of an office
seeker, and a granter of naturaliza-
ton papers, but we sincerely hope,
though our shot took so serious an
effect, that the wound will not
prove fatal. The wounded brains,
never very strong, became greatly
excited, and our son, who is remark
able for his peaccable and inoffen-
sive behavior, was abused with
that kind of cheap and vulgar
commodity, which even some office
seekers keep in store, and which is
usually called swearing; the other
wounded man, III a fit of brain
madness, attempted to spike our
gun, and thus blew away what
little reason he had left before the
election.
Now, as we fired only on the de-
fensive, and as we had the same
legal and moral right to warn our
friends Of spurious tickets, as our
opponents had to warn thcirfricnds
of spurious tickets, and as our Re-
Observation-Disclosures friends
were, like our old Mother Eve,
"first in the transgression," we
must speak and write of their con-
duct to a stranger who has seen
far more Of the world and its peo-
pies, than any of them, as a proof
that there is still room for their
making an effort to advance in the
science of civilization. We are
sorry that our dear ncighbors
should deal in so much buster, but
we will never condescend to follow
their example. We tell them, one
and all, that though "hand Join in
hand, the wicked shall not be I'M
punished" The Wise Man SAYS
so, and we ~cheerfully adopt his
