There is I desperate and exciting contest
going On in the third (Dayton} congressional
district Of Ohio, between tue friends Of Val
landigham and Gen. schenck. The district
consists Of the counties Of Bu.ler, Preble,
Montgomery, and Warren. Under ordinary
circumstances the district would be Republi
can by moderate majority; but what the re-
suit will be next Tuesday, is . mstter Of doubt.
val1andigham has used every influence to pre-
vent democrats from enlisting, and has been
very successful. Thleefourths Of all the vol
nntecss that have gone from the district are
Republicans. OF the t, 900 that have enlisted
in the Da, ton district, 6.000 are Republicans.
Unless d large number Of war Democrats vote
ter Gen. schenck he will be defeated. Va1lan-

harder than it shoots forward. 4 year ago
Gen. Under was simply Democrat, and
according to the Times that constitutes
him seccssionist'' It is undoubtedly
true that all secessionists are found in that
party, and nowhere else. Gen. Linder saw
year ago where the Times was scullins

speak OF Gen. Charles C. Gilbert, Of Ohio, as

It is a stereotype charge Of the tory
Times that the Republican party caused
the war, and is responsible for the enor-
NOUS debt now accumulating, and the tor
rcnts Of blood being spilled, and tlatits seces
sion friends are innocent creatures contend
ing for Their rights" We have refrained
from rctorting in kind, but fortearancc, when
dealing with such prints, is no virtue. Now,
the simple fact is, that the Democratic party
in The South prccipitatcd the war on the
country. 1t is war OF the Southern De-
mocracy against the right Of the people to
elect their administration according to the
Constitution; and they are aided and abet-
ted by the segment Of the Northern De-
mocracy, If which the tory Tines is a
mouth-picce. The Republican party, when
it came into power, found the administra~
ton a den Of Democratic traitors and
! thieves, and the power of the government
betrayed to "Dcmocratic' secession con-
spiracy which had resolved to resist
a Constitutional election by force of
arms. The lives lost and the treas
ure expended have gone to put
down Lis Democratic rebellion Let us
not be misunderstood All Democrats
are rot seccssionists. More than half the
Democrats Of the North are loyal and true,
and q small sprinkliug fthose in the Sou'h.
But the controlling power in that party, has
always been in the South, and, together
with It's allies in the North, is essentially
8 traitorous Organization. The Democrats
in the free Statcs who adhered sincerely to
Douglas, are loyal men; but many Of his
1rrltssed adherents followed hin only fol
the sake OF the spoils, aud because he con
trollcd The Democratic organization in sev
cral States; But at heart they we're rotten
. and arc now found giving moral, if no

South. The old whig party in tho Sout]
would never, Of its oxn motion, haycraise

~ The country was warned by the
tory sheets that, if the president issued his
proclamation freeing The slaves Of the rcb-
els that half the officers Of the army
would resign, and half the soldiers stack
their arms and march home. Well, the

the designations don't come in. Not one

dissatisfaction among the soldiers. On the
contrary, the rank and file Of the
army arc well pleased with the step
taken by the president and will cor
daily sustain and assist him in its

What Opened LoEan's Eyes.

4 few weeks before the battle Of Bull Run,
q number of Congressmen, anxious to stop
the war, gent Mr.. Henry May, Of Baltimore,
to Richmond, to ask the rebel authorities to
state on what conditions they would give up
the southern confederacy, and restore the
Union as 1t was. The object WAS to procure
the material out Of which could be made
platform for q "peace pazty" in the North.
The rebels received ths euissary politely, but
treated his mission with disdain. They told
him that If the commissioners authorized by
the federal government we're to appear in
Richmond and present blank sheet Of paper,
upon which JEFF. Davis would be authorized
to write the conditions On which the Union
should be restored "as 1t was" they would
scorn to touch 1t, and 60 On with their scheme
Of establishing southern independence. The
reply being received by the "peace men" at
Washington, John A. Logan, Democratic
member Of Congress from Southern Illinois,
seeing that the only way to restore the Union
Was with the sword, left his place In Congress,
raised regiment and entered the army. H.
has served his country with distinction, was
wounded at Fort Done1son, and promoted fol
his good conduct He now refuses to take
any part in the political squabbles in tht
