Plain Truth.
The CHcleville Union justly says !:

The trcieville Union justly says: = =
No Democratic capital can be made out
Of the question. As to an,algun,atioa, the
Southern Democracy are altogether guilty of
oil that Nine-tenths of the mulattoes ofthat
region together with their spawn in the Free
States, are Of Democratic origin. During
the last ten years, Hundreds OF thousands of
Democratic yellow children have been born
IN the States now in rebellion against the
Union. There isno question about their
paternity. They were heeotton by rebel
Democrats No Black kspublican, no Union
man is father Of these copper colofet sons
Of the South. In twenty years more, unless
the slaves are colonizcd in Hayti, Central
America or Liberia, the Biacksmoor Of the
South will be washed white with Democrat
.ic blood This bleaching, remember, will
be done by Democrats; fot BY Black Repul-
lcans, not By Union men, for there are but
few OF either party in the Slave States. It
is the Congo Democracy alone that is re-
sponsibie for amalgsmation, for ninety nina
out of a muired nruiattoes are the produce
oftheir loius. In the South the Democrats

And OF Robert j. Walker, who said
The fate of our country and the lber-
ties OF the world are staked upon the per
petuity or dissolution of the American
Union and it we should now permit its
overthrow, we would commit the most stu
pendous crime ever recorded in the annals

Il am for the Union without conditions;
one and indivisible, now and forever, for its
preservation at any and every cost of blood
and treasure; against all its assalants and
against any compromise that may be pro.
posed to be made under the guns Of the re-
bels."
Certainly, those who so vocifcrousy en-
dorsed Vallandigham. could have no
cheers tor sentiments such AZ these. Let
those Union Democrats, therefore, whose
hearts are with their country and who can
not consent. in this emergency, to be gov

well the glowing sentiments of unfalteriDg
loyalty which the great Captains of their
own political faith SO eloqucntly advocate.

TRUE AND ELOQUENT WORDS
FROM JUDGE RANNEY.


The following remarks of Judge Ranuey,
at recent meeting in Chillicothe. Ohio.
should be read by every man, aud especially
every Democrat:
Whether ne Voted for the present Adsninis-
trotion or not, 10: are equally interested IN pre-.
serving the Government. AdminiStrofions
are bat for a day. THANK GoD. THIS coUr.
TRY IS OURS. We had better expend all We
have In preserving it, and leave it to our
children, than to leave them anything else.
We are under obligations as citizens to
bear arms in defense of the Government, and
to do so voluntarily. Should we walt to be
forced into the field, we would not be doing
our duty; and the moral effect of popular
support would be lost to the Government.
This call is addressed to US all; do not look
around you for a poor man, WHO rev be
obliged to go. Let him who is in situation
to enlist step forth. and say to others come !
1t is great matter with US to know thu, va
are in the right. Thrice armed is be who
hath his quarrel just"
Without discussing the past, say to you
that this rebellion was produced by ambi-
sious men in the South without reason or
excuse. We do not deny the right of revo-
luton, but those who undertake such move
ments can be justified only By such reasons
as our fathers had, euch as are recognized
by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independ
ence. Butthere is no shadow of excuse for
this atroclous attempt of the rebels to over
throw our Government.
Remember the tolls of our fathers who
settled this country, and the heroic strug-
giles OF the Revolution, the wisdom of the
trainers OF the Government, the mildest and
best in the world. All that has been gained
for US In the past the rebels seek to wrest
from US. They seek to sever an immense
section of our country, and to accomplish
this, they, in their desperation. would sell
that section back to old England from whom
our fathers conquered it. It is for US to say
whether this shall be done. The people can
prevent it; but if We would prevent it we
must rise in our might've must say TO the
executive: You are acting ss our agent, and
we hold you responsible for the preservation
of the Union. We must also say: We are
here with men and means to enable you to
perform your duty. 1t is idle to call for the
suppression OF the rebellion, unless we make
the needful exertion to suppress it.
The Union men of the South need our
immediate aid, and it is due TO them. They
have sacrificed thousand times more than
we have for the Government. The very
idea of Government requires protection 70
the citizen in return for his allegiance.
We must save the Mississippi-the high
way of the West. Think what this valley
is to be when filled by your children. Think
not of treaties with men who have broken
the Constitution made by Washington. We
must never yield this river, or any part of its
banks. would see every man in the West in
the field, and sacrificed, before ! would con-
sent to yield it. Let the great State of
Ohio, then. make such a response to the
present call as will accomplish her full share
in suppressiug this accursed rebellion.

YELLOW JACK.-Our humane and chris.

were sure to made in the Federal ranks By the
ravsges of the yellow fever in the Southern
country. The unacclimated Yankees would
die like rotten sheep at New Orleans. Baton
Rouge. and along the coast, they said The
Confederates might save their powder. for
pestilsnce would hurry the mercenary inva-
ders into hospitable graves. and create such
panic that the Washington Government
would first have to put down mutiny before
being able to keep sufficient guard in the
Cotton States. Well, it is now nearly the
middle of August, aud Yellow Jack has not
yet made his advent. The fever prevails

EARL RUSSELL AND THE LIVER.
POOL MERCHANTS.

Earl Russeli's reply to the Liverpool mer-
chants, who had the impudenee to ask the
protection of the British Government for
their lawless trade with the blockade ports
of the South, is one of those significant
signs which portend a change of policy for
the further; for however clear the case stood
against these gentlemen, Earl Russelrs re-
ply is altogether too sharp and caustic not
to mean anything beyond a mere refusal.
He plainly tells them that the traffic for
which they claim protection is illicit, soon
trary to the spirit of Her Majesty's procla-
nations, producing irritation aud inwill on
the part of the population of the United
States, and that the merchants aud ship
owners of Liverpool should refrain from this
species of trade" if they do not wish to run
the risk of having their vessels captured by
the United States cruisers, as fair and law
full prizes.
The English Government is evidently In
clined TO change tone towards Us, and by an
entente cordiale with the United States make
up for the loss of the French alliance. This
change has indeed been apparent for some
time. and found confirmation in what has
generally been the opinion in the best-in-
formed quarters, that the danger of inter-
vention was not so much to be feared from
England as from France. It is only the
British merchants and the British aristocra-
oy who are so violently opposed to US. The
English Government has always found it Of
advantage to remain at peace with Us. how
ever cheerfully it might greet permanent
rupture of this country. The British peo-
pie are our true and warm friends; and al
though upon them devolves all the misfor
tune which has arisen from the stoppage OF
the man facturee, they have never for a mo-
ment complained or petitioned the Govern
meut to open the blockade for the export of
cotton. We have consequently reason to re-
gard our relations with England at present
as eminently satisfactoryt-Mo. Democrat
