We mentioned yesterday the action of
tho Cincinnati Council and citizens in re-
gard to the defense of that city. The com
mittee visited Columbus and Gov. Denni-
son promptly met their request. The
Journal says:
He determined to order two batteries of
six guns each to be Immediately sent, one
to Cincinnati, the other to Camp Dennisou,
to use his influence to render Camp Den
nison, a camp in which a force would al
ways be held-to order five regiments, in
part organized, and to be organized in that
camp, and take such other steps as might
seem necessary to make the protection of
the Southwestern border effectual.
The deputation expressed their gratifca-
ting at the promptness with which they
were met by the Governor, and that con-
sequent success Of their mission.
Quartermaster General Wood goes to
Cincinnati to- day with battery of six guns
complete in all respects excepting horses.

Fort Monroe, Sept. 5.-The Monticello
and Harriet Lane arrived from Halter as
Inlet this morning. They report the most
gratifying intelligence. The Confederates
have abandoned their strongly fortified fort
at Ocracoke Inlet
Multitudes of North Caroinians have de-
monstrated their loyalty to the Government
by coming 10 Fort Hatteras to take the
oath of allegiance. Col. Hawkins sends
word that he administered the oath to be-
tween 200 and 800 in single day.
The steamer Pawnee still lies in the in
let, and the Susquehanna on the out side.-
The Susquehanna ran down to Ocracoke
Inlet, and found the Notifications there CON-
pletely deserted. The Confederates had
carried away their guns, and white flag
was exhibited.
Commander Roam has written a letter
to the Secretary of the Navy, dated U. S.
steamer Pawnee, Hatteras Iulet, Sept. 5th,
of which the following is an extract:
"From the best information can obtain,
ten regiments have been recalled from Vir-
ginia to defend this State.
"The Secessionists residing near the wa
ter are destroying their residences, and
seeking shelter in the interior. The poorer
classes remain waiting for protection tc

ssBy Their Fruits shall yc Know Ihem'"
To show the tone of the papers that are
supporting tho "Democratic Union party"
in this State wo give the following from
the Coshocton Democrat!
"The North is in direct rebellion against
the Constitution and laws Of the United
States! The South is contending for
rights guaranteed to them by the Consti-
tuition, but denied to them by the North
and to secure those rights have rebelled
against Lincoln's administration"
The Democrat, Of July 81, in a chuckle
over the defeat of the Union army at Ma
nassas, closes with:
alt looks to us as though the hand o.
Providence was against the North, in this
unnatural war"
The Union movement is thus compli
mented, in the Democrat:
"Those who still cling to the carcasc @
the Republican party, or who want t
hatch new butterfly organization, glide
with Union, can expect nothing from u.s."
The Democrat thanks Breckenridge fo
a copy of his speech. Hear how its graf
tude overfiows:
awe are indebted to Senator Breckir
ridge for copy his mastery speech o
Liucoln's usurpatiop."
Such are the men at the head Of the ant
war movement in this state; and such
the spirit that actuates them.

Tory Demscrat.-See here, neighbor S,
they say you have joined the Black Repub-
licans.
Union Democrat exactly so, friend.
1 have joined with all loyal, Union-loving,
Lraitor-hating citizens to save the Govern
ment aud put down rebellion.
Tory Democrat--I sec no use in that /;
you know tho Democratic party was always
the only true Union party, the only one that
has taken care of this Government, and is
now the only party that can save the Union.
1 am opposed to all fusion, and shall stick
to the Democratic party and vote the
straight ticket I am really sorry to see you
leave the good, old party, and go off and
join the odds and ends of all parties. You
have ruined your political prospects, Demo
Gratis can never vote for you, for any office
again.
Union Democrat.-Are you through
with your lecturer
Tory Democrat-Yes, have told you
what l think.
Union Democrat-Wait, listen to me a
moment. The Democratic party only pro-
fesSes to be the Union party; perhaps, in
times past it was really so. But while it
is fact that every traitor now in arms, will
lingly, is of the Democratic party, and there
is not traitor of any other party amongst
them, feel little modest about claiming
it to be the only party that can save the
Union. think we had better not boast on
that point. Besides, the loyal Democrats
are not strong enough alone to put down
the traitors in their own party or save the
Government. We must then join with the
loyal people every where, or We are lost
AS to your offices, have no thoughts
hope 1 have higher motives; and, be as
sured, that neither the Democratic party or
any other party which does not repudiate
treason and traitors and stand up for the
government, can survive the coming wrath
of the masses of the people against all those
who are Indifferent to the cause of the Con-
sLitution now. Remember what say, that
no single party can save the Constitution
from destruction. The people, the united
people must come 10 the work with all their
mig ght. He who works for division of the
people into parties, or for compromise now,
is an enemy to the Government, tory and
a coward.

mR. POWERS.

Our neighbor, across the way, desires to
know why we oppose the election of Mr..
POWERS. We willstate some of the reasons
briefly, presuming that we have no personal
objections to that gentleman.
First. He fayors division Of the people
into parties.
Second. He voted 10 favor of the party
candidates at the State Convention.
Third. He voted for the yallandigham
platform.
Fourth. After doing all this he return
cd and signed call for Union County
Convention. s
Fifth. Afterthi he came to consult the
lsadiug Yallandighamites of this county al
the Court House, and held some hours con-
venation with them in room with doors
locked.
Sixth. After he came out he ordered his
name to be stricken from the Union call.
Seventh. He Is the candidate Of a
strictly party nomination, which in our opin-
ion, is incompatible with that degree Of
patriotism these perilous times require. We
sFs for union Of the people, to save q
Union ofshe States. MI. Powers is oppos-
ed to union Of the people for this purpose,
These are some Of our reasons, we may
give more hereafter.

Coward, ana he who talks of Peace IL
n Traitor.
That tory print, the Messenger, instead OF
exhor,iug tho people to join hearts and
hands to save the government, and beat
back traitors, is engaged in fOmenting party
strife and doing all in its power TO divide
tho people and cripple the Government SO
that treason may prevail. Instead of point
ing out the crime of the rebels and expatia-
ting upon The horrors which traitors are per-
petratiug the editor fills his paper with
charges against the Government, and points
his readers to the supposed misconduct oi
some northern man ten years ago. What
kind of patriotism is thisl 1t is not patri
otism, it is toryism, nothing less.
/ STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS among his las
sayings said: "There can in this struggl'

True as preaching. The Government is en-
deavoring to put a stop to this unnatural war"
"a war, by the way, brought upon us by the
Democrats of the South,) by every means at its
command For this, the rebels at the South
"laugh" at it, and their sympathsers at the
North "denounce" it, but nevertheless, the means
are being put in shape and in due time the war
must cease. All that is asked of the traitors is
to lay down their arms, acknowledge the Gov

The virginia and kentucky Resolutions
of I79S and 1890.

OF lI0o anu 1EOO'
If any evidence was wanting to prove the
Messenger secession, tory sheet that want
is fully supplied by the manner it publishes
the above named resolutions.
These resolutions are the basis upon which
the traitors seek to erect their stupendous
lie, and the very plea they make to justify
their treason; and the Messenger publishes
them with the same emphasis and italics
used by the Southern rebels, when they
put them out.
These resolutions assert the monstrous
and exploded doctrine that when State
thinks the Constitution is violated, it being
the sole Judge, that the State has right to
withdraw from the Union. This is the opin-
ion of the Messenger, this is the opinion Of
JEFF Davis and all secessiondom. Why is il
that JEFF Davis and the Messenger promul
gate the same doetrinesl
For instance, the editor italicises this sen
tence in these resolutions. Speaking o
States as parties to the compact of the Con
stiiution-"Eaeh party has the right 4
Judge for itself as weH Of igtraetiOn a
to the mode and measure Of redress. p
Which being interpreted means that
South Carolina politicians can, by lying
make her people think their constitutions
rights are infriuged, then South CarOlini
has the right to withdraw from the Union
and thus abolish and break up the Unio
and destroy the Government. Now is no
this toryism in full bloomG
Right there, in those few words of thes
resolutions, lies that damnablc political hel
esy that has brought this war and all it
woes. This vile monstrosity is now repro
duced and recommended by the man VIII,
met John G. Breckenridge just before tn
assembling of the last Congress.

" elected and delegated and assembled in
National Convention, have alone the right,
after tho most liberal and enlarged debate,
to determine its future destiny. Believing
that the masses Of the South still love tho
Union and would, were they left untram-
moled and unforced, declare tomorrow their
will for its continuance, utterly repudiate
the monstrous and wicked plea and petition
of the ringleaders of this conspiracy, and
would argue for war eternaly until they
were brought to condigu punishment, and
their misguided followers restored to reason

deceived Southern brethren shall be restor-

Osceola arrived at Jefferson City last even

latter was completely routed, and Rains
taken prisoner. The report says that
Montgomery drew the rebel force into an

The Messenger will find out after the second
Tuesday in October that Botefur will not be
the only Democrat who will vote for Mr.. Fer
guson. We are well satisfied that there will be
some five or six hundred Democrats, who viii
throw aside party for country and go for the
supremacy of the Constitution and the Laws, {"
in opposition to secessionism. Bean had better
pack up his traps and go south-this climate

The Messenger whines and squirms about
being called secessionist, and calls upon
us to search its dirty record for a year past,
as proof to repel the charge. We prove the
charge thus: There can be now, according
to Mr. Douglas last speech, but two parties
-"Patriots and Tories" That paper re-
fused to uuite with the patriots of all par
lies, and aims to divide the people, weaken
the Government, and compromise with trail
tors. Is he not by this proved a secess-
ionist and tory?

The Fremont Messenger makes one
strong point against Union nominations
generally and especially those in that coun-
ty, that none but Democrats should be-
nominated. Because others are nominated
is prime reason with it for urging division
among the people and weakening the power
opposed TO rebellion. Office and duty go
