such men ns Noble and Vallandigham in

Hon. w. p. Noble is discharging his
people, by staying at home attending to
his private matters, while the interests of
the country demand his presence at
Washington.
The country however will not suffer
much by his abScncr as his votes have
Invariably been cast with that miserable
faction headed by Vallandighom, who
seem determined to give all the "Oid and
comfort" possible 10 the enemy. Mr..
Noble votes against tax and revenue

$4,000 u year from Uncle Sans cupa-

Turning the Tnhlcs.

The Toledo Commercial thus turns the
tables upon those who have such per-
sistent and terrible horror of the North
being flooded with blacks. What is more
aud what is better the Argument Of the
ComnerefGl is conclusive and cannot be
geinsayed by any fair argument.
There is but one possible event in
which there will be the least danger that
the North will be oyerun by blacks
Should the rebels succeed, even for a
brief period, in effecting separation of
the Union, the necessary result would be
a general stampede Of the slaves from the
disloyal into the loyal States. But free
dom would be their only object in com
ing TO the North. Give them that where
they are and they would certainly stay
in the S sth, or emigrate to a still warm
er climate.
Those, therefore who wish TO prevent
the blacks from coming, in great numbers
to the free States, ifthey act intellgently
will give their wOrmest support to the
government in the suppression Of the re.
bellion and advocate the emancipation Of
the slaves.
Those who are attempting to embIrrass
or defeat the Government by exciting un-
reasonable prejudioes, are doing more TO
bring abot the results which they profess
to depreeiate than any other Glass;
They are slike the enemies Of the Gov
ernment and of'the laboring people ofthe
North.

But when men expend all their venom

discovered the character to the order, and

The order in question Is the "Rnirhts
of the Golden Circle;" but has changed
its name twice in the last year, to avoid
exposure and public odium, and now
styles Itself the Order of the IS. u. B.'s,'
or the Self Protecting Brothers. -
Should the members OF the order be call

are required TO deny its existence, under
penalty Of death.
The oath taken by the members ofthis
