A mEnIrED RERllKE.

The Toronto Globe, one Of the most
influential and fair spoken papers OF
Canada, thus reads very appropriate
lecture to the London Times:
every month it has a new view OF
the impending ruin Of the Northern
States, and the triumphant success Of
the South. First, the Northerners would
not fight, and the South had all the
pack and chlvalry. Next the North
erner, could stand the strain in their
finances they must col apsc and sub
nit to ignom: niOrs neace with the South.
Then the blockade was declared ,neffect-
nal, and the Americans were warned
that it could not be permitted to last
long. Again, a cry was raised that II
was all very we'll to fight ON the sea
board, but that the North would speed
lily be crushed when it penetrated into
the county. And, lastly, Gems. June and
July were invoked to bar the progress
of the North. Not one OF these and 9th
er predictions has proved to be correct.
The Nor,herners fight better, man for
man, than the chivs.ry there has been
no lack of money at Washington for
wati'kc purposes; the blockade Is effect.
nal, so much SO that the South can OBJ
tain no arms or ammunition from abroad;
the Northern armies have penetrated w
to the interior of the South with almost
entire IMMUNITY, as witness the progres IS
OF Gen. Mitchell, far from water com.
m 'n'cations and support; and Gener ais
June aud July, if they arc even as pow
ertal as reported, will come too late t.
De OF any service to the South. Con-
slder'ng the failures Of the Times as q
prophet on American affairs, it is sur.
p'is'ng that 1t does not shut sboD'' on
them entirely, and devote the extrs ord;.
na!y .o''"y at its command to some
thing on which it is better informed q,
less deeply prcjudiced." -

RiRa AND UNITED.
During the coming csopaigo in th'
State, IL must impress every mind thu
there is the most urgent necessity {
presenting 10 the enemy firm aud ur
broken fropt-a front that caonot b
swsrved by fauaticism or beld 10 chez
BY ito unscrupulous assault. Ihe 90
iect sought to be ob'sioed by the ''u'
democracy of this State is simply thu
preservation Of the Union, and the oni
vers.l acknowledgment Of the Constitu
ton, just Is it is to.dsy-just a. it ~
when it was presented to us by the mas
ter minds of the early days Of the Re
public.
Both have been wantonly and villain
ously asssi!ed the enemies Of those in
estimablo blessings have sought, and A..
stilI endeavoring, to break in fragments
the former and trample the latter in The
dust. Shall the democracy Of the coun.
try sit idly down and suffer this to be
donel Never!
In times past, ever since the party
had q name or an organization, it hss
heen battling against the enemies ofthis
Government. For the most part, it has
been sue essfuI, and in fact never as
defeated in any fair fight, when its
Members stood up to the work and per-
formed their duty as cool and faithful
soldiers.
The campaign is now opening bright
". 1t no aspiring demagogue assumes
to do what be has neither Law nor
authority for doing, the rank and fle
will be kept perfect, and the contest
will be declded in our favor. Every
county in the state seems to be coming
up to The work with laudable unanimi
ty. The prevailing idea is to elect such
men to all the Offices in the gift Of the
people as will dlscountenancc all at.
tempts at destroying the Union, from
whatever source they may come - such
men as will keep unbroken their pledges
to support the Constitution and execute
the laws under all circumstances.
To this end and none other, the Do.
mocracy Of Iowa are marshslling for the
fray. They have but one policy, and
that to support the Union and the Con-
slitut'on. They have no enemies TO
punish except such as are at war against
The Union and the Constitution they
have no rewards to offer any who do not
stand where the Democratic fathers of
the Republic stood. Can the voters Of
Iowa take any nob,er position? Could
they be engaged in more worthy
cause3 Can any one with his senses
properly balanced, ask for any position
more patriotic or more noble? Come
forth and stand under the old flag stand
flr'n upon your feet tor the Union, and
at all times and under all circumst anccs
strike telling blows for our revered Con
st'tntion. That preserved, and the
country is safe; that broken, dispraced,
aud dlshonored, and the Republic ;~
forever blottcd out from exist" %
This and ,h,s olo,o luce. For
to rally. - ,,ou are called upon

A correspondent writing from Gen
McClelIan's army, says: An old gentle.
man, farmer in Gcnesee County, New
York, made his appearance in camp this
morning. He lives near Batavia, is the
proprietor OF quite large farm, and one
would suppose from his name was de-
scended from one of the oldest families oil
Greece. Farmer Plato was anxious to see
our army enter Richmond, and for that
purpose received permission from that
patriotic but eccentric Secretary who
runs the War Departments at Washing
ton. He called on Gen. Martindal this
morning, and seemed much surprised that
there was no tavern around where he
might put mp. lie realizes now why

through anxious to see Richmond, is vii.

Down ON HIM.-It seems that the
course of Gen. Fremont does not exact.
ly suit all around. The New Bedford
Mercury, an Administration paper, thus
speaks out:
"We have intimsted before this that
the Presidents order was disobeyed by
Gen. Fremont; our Information coming
pretty direct, an officer Of the goveynwent
telling our informant that he heard the
President cypress has vezation at tie dis.
regard Of his directions. Mr. Lincoln's
expression Of his annoyance was AZ en-
phatic as it was original"
1t is not we'll to pass a too hasty
judgment upon the General. When it
is proven that he is incompetent to ell
the place be occupies there will be time
enough for censure.

Vood DEFINITION OF A SECEssIoN1sT.
"a secessionst is one who withdraws
or separates himself from the Constitution
and Union. He may or may not take up
arms against those who maintain the
authority Of the former and the integrity
of the latter. To constitute a man a Sec
essionist, it is enough that his position is
one OF hostility to and reputation Of the
Constitution and the Union formed un-
der it."
