There need be no question about the
nature of the animals called straight
Democrats in the Ohio Legislature.
They seem determined to make it plain
enough. A resolution introduced by Judge
Myers of Lucas, in the House, yesterday,
to invite Parson Brownlow to address the
Legislature, was bitterly attacked by the
Democrats, and voted against by every
one Of them.
This is the feeling that Ohio Democra-
cy has for man who has devoted life,
property and family to the Union, and
who has suffered indcscribable persecu,
tons from the Sccessionists for his loyal
ty. Need there be any doubt on which
side these Democrats stand in this war
Their custom has been to cover up their
sympathies for the rebellion by pretend
ed fear for Slavery, and by charging lha.
every earnest man In the war is an Abo-
htionist; but now they throw OF disguise,
and freely display their malignity toward
Southern man. because he took his life
in his hand and resisted Secession and re-
bellion in his own State.
And, to make the case more glaring,
these very Democrats toady the rebel Of
hcers who are loose ON parole at Column
bus, and invite them on the floor of the
House. On the adoption of the resolu-
ton deprecating the mistaken clemency
to the rebel prisoners, while our own sol
diers in rebel hands in the South were
treated with great severity, the Democrats,
Fink, Kinney, Lang and PERIL. voted
against it.
We do not regret this demonstration
Treason has disguised itself with very
fimsy covering in Ohio, being composed
entirely Of the cry of Abolitionism against
every one who desired an earnest war
Now, that it is throwing off the disguise
and showing openly its sympathy with
the rebels, and its hatred Of the loyal men
OF the South, there need be no doub,
about its nature, and the people will know
how to deal with it,

SUPPLY OF CLoTHING.-Although the raw
material for clothing, andthe industry to make
1t, are amply sufficient in the Confederate
States for the supply of our army and for fam
Lies at home, there is great difficulty in its dis
trlbutlon Throughout different sections of the
country. This difficulty we now experience
IN the department west of the Mississippi. The
cotton and wool may be had here in abundance
and willing hands to manufacture it into clotbe
ing. out the means are wanting. The old stock
OF cotton cards is being worn out BY use
There are only two or three manufactures of
spun thread in the whole departmept Tho
supply from these is so inadequate as To he
unworthy of consideration in estimating for
full supply for our army in this department.
and the citizens at home.
IN the other hand there are many such man.
ufactories in the Southern States East of tho
Mississippi of sufi cient capacity to snpplv tho
wants of the whole Confede racy, These miobt
De looked to for furnishing our women with
material for their looms, or perhaps cloth near
ly woven. The possession of the river bv the
federais Is indeed the only impeachment. but
the want OF transportation for private property
on the rail roads. and the risk of crossing to-
9ether with the moderate profits upon the ar
ueiss which would be enforced by rublic opin-
ion' ehectualy deter all private enterprise in
'nat direction. But for these the usual course
u trade and the instincts of gain would soon
add materially to our supplies As for colt en-
cards no supply is to be relied on from anv
quarter during the blockade
Two courses only seem to us practicable
One Is to SO control public opinion by militia nv
authority MS to allow adventurers who Nigh t
import thread or clothing, an extraordina ~
pront. 1his might, perhaps, stimulate impor-
tations at great risks, but could not effect onv
satisfactory end. 1t would obviously .n,ro
only to the benefit of the rich. and so xonld
fail of reaching the main objects of our sym
Iatby, the soldier, and the poor.
1t would be very desirable for the govern
ment to undertake something of the Sort So
far as material for soldiers clothing is con.
cerned, 1t would be an entirely legiti move
ment for the commissary department Per-
maps not however, to supply the wants of the
community, unless it could be made the medi-
UNI of subscribing the interests of the army in.
directly. We have heard it sugg ested that this
might perhaps be done, by allowing the com.
missaries to exchange thread or cloth FOR for
age and provisions. 1t is certain that those
articles would readily purchase provisions for
the army from large portion of the commu-
nifty whose caution would restrain them from
selling fer money. The subject presses itself
upon the community, and calls for reflection
