Look at this.

Virginia were recently landed at that place
and from there sent to the interior of Ohio

So we go. The negroes are being
rushed into this State by the hundred
already, at the expense of the Govern,
ment. The tax payers have got tc
foot the bill; but this, tho bad enough,
is not the worst feature of this Aboli-
tion policy. They come to cheaper
and degrade labor. The sooty Afri-
can will compete with the white labor
ers of the State. They can afford to,
and will work much cheaper than white
men. What think you of this, white
laboring men of Ohio? And, tax
payers, how do you like it? You are
compelled indirectly, to become thepur.
chaser Of negroes, who are to be quar-
tered among you, to contend for the
"equal rights which the abolitionists
tell them they are entitled to. Will
you still slumber in the belief that the
T. q /
Republican party is not abolitionized,
and that they are "opposed to any in.
reference with slavery where it already
exists?" Or will you heed the warn
ing voice Of the Democracy and other
conservative men of the country, and
act before it is too late? 1t is for the
white laboring men of Ohio to say
whether they will submit to have labor
cheapened and degraded by negro com.
petition. The ballot box is the rem,
edy. Use it.

"UnconditiOnai Union" vs.. "Con-
stitutiOnat Union"

The latest test of loyalty which the
Republicans propose to make the peo-
pie subscribe to, is what they call 'Un-
conditional Union" The question
seems to be: "Are you an Uncondi-
tional Union man." If you answer
"No," you are held to be traitor,
and must be dealt with.
1t is impossible to concentrate more
of the very essence of Despotism in
any two words of the language, than
is contained in those two: UNCoNDI-
TIoNAL UNION. 1t is Unconditional
Union which Austria imposes upon
Hungary, and upon the States of Italy.
Unconditional Union is Unconditional
Despotism. 1t is nothing else. 1t
means the supreme rule, the "uncondi-
tionap' sovereignty, of arbitrary pow
er. . .. .sf
1t is enough for us to say, andenough
for the Democracy to say: "We are
in favor of Constitutional Union. -
This expresses the highest degree of
loyalty to the Government, to all in
tents, and for every purpose, in which
the government is not a usurpation.-
We will "go to the country" on the
issue, whether we are to have Consti-
tutional Union or Unconditional Union
this shall be a Free Gov
ernment or Despotism. We do not
fear the verdict. | -4
In declaring the doctrine of uncon-
Union, the Republicans have
made bold advance. 1t is not their
accustomed way of doing things. They
usually accomplish their purposes by
Indirection, protesting to desire one
thing, while industriously effecting an
other, Now-probably with strong
reliance upon the aid of bayonets-
they boldly announce their design to
substitute Unconditional for Constitu-
tional Government nation of sub
ects, instead of a Republic of citizens.
We shall see what we shall see.

WhO are the Authors of Secession
---Thc Testimony of Wendell
pEHAtfnS

Less thar year ago Wendell Phillips
made speech at the fremont Temple at
Boston, in which he said: .,..
"The anti-slavery party had hoped for and
planned diswnion, because it would lead to
the develosment Of mankind and the eleya-
ton OF The white" &h
And then he exulingly adds. fr
''ln six months expect separation.--
The game is up, The Union is at an endi We
have purchased nothing but disgrace. The
North is bankrupt in character az in money.
Before the summer ends we shall see two
confederacies." afas
The Democrats have always charged that
the Abolitionists planned disunion, and here
it will be seen Wendell Phillips. their leader
admits the charge to be true. What are We
to think Of the Union PROFESSIONS OF those
who fraternize with such q man and add
to the power Of such party?

Andrew johnson ON The Twin
Evils.

In late speech at Nashville Andrew John
son thus graphically describes the twin broth
ers-secession and abolition. ..r....
There are two parties in existence who
want dissolution. Slavery and Southern
Coniederacy is the hobby. Sumner wants 10
break up the Government, and so do the Alb
litionists generally. They hold that If sla.
very survives the Union cannot endure. So
cessionists argue that il the Union continues
slavery is lost. Abolitionsts want no com
promise; but they regard peaceable secession
as humbug Why? Abolition is dissolu
ton; dissolution is secession; one is the other.
Both are striving TO accomplish the same OBJ
ject. One thinks it will destroy, the other
save, slavery.

The Pittsburg, penn Post, in some
just comments on Senator Chandler,
Of Michigan, says:
"The Republican party, which arose upon
the ruins Of the old Wing organization, has
performed some extraordinary freaks during
its limited existence; but the selection it has
made Of United States Senators is perhaps
its strangest proceedings. In the place Of a
Webster, Davis or Choate, we have the
fanatic Sumner and the vulgar Wilson, inthe
place Of Wright, Marcy or Dix we have
that ponderous mass OF imbecile stolidity
Preston King; from Pennsylvania they have
given us the virtuous Cameron and his con
tracts, and alter him the free trader Wilmot,
whose chief characteristics are fondness for
free trade, cheap liquor and strong tobacco;
from Kansas they have given us Jim Lane, a
common marauder; and from Michigan Chan.

Spies IN THE VALLEY.-We understand that
two deserteIs from the Northern army came into
General Jackson's line just abou; the time of the
evacuation OF Romn9y and reported that the mo-
vements of our army We're discovered by spy
who was in Winchester and breakfasted at the
Washington H1use the morning before army
advanced. The deserters say thatthe spy repor-
ted the same night to the Yankee commander
Gen .Jacksou's Numbers shis supposed destina-
ton, and the amount of provisions he was to take
with him; whereupon the order was given to
fall back across the Potomac While going about
Winchester few days since, those men met and
arrested another spy, with whom they had been
acquainted in the Northern army. They now
we understand engaged in pointing out the Union
men, whom they knew to be hail fellows we'll
met with the Hessians vile they were about
Romney and in the vicinity, but who are now,
that troops have The upper hand, the strong
est uthern men in the land, if yon will just
listen to them. By means of these deserters our
men have already succeeded in securing several
of these doutle faced gentlemen, and are daily
arresting others. The spy that they arrested was,
We learn, to be hung. Had it not been for the

CAMP DISEASES How TO AVOID THEM.-Sol-
diers in camp suffer from three diseases-diar-
rhea, rheumatism, and fever. Tie commonest
cause of diarrh9a is bad water, its cure, complete
rest ard abstinence from every kind of foo! ex-
cept plain boiled rice All ordinary diseases
will yield to this treatment in twenty four hours
or less Rheumatism is usually brought on, not
by getting wet but remaining in wet clothes.
Hard drinkers are particularly liable to bad at
tacks. To avoid rheumatism wear flannel and
keep the digestion sound. Fevers are generally
caught after dark in the open air. A mar going
out on night duty sh Md never go hungry and
never stand still longer than necessary. Good
food and active exercise will generally keep a
man we'll unless the air is uncommonly deleteri-
ous. To cure case of not very severe fever
nothing seems SO efficacious change of air.
1t is said that the removal OF patient only a
few miles works an immediate improvement in
his condition. 10 scouting along the edge of
swamp at night, there is no danger so long as
the party keeps ON the windward side of it,
These doctrines are laid down in the writings
of army surgeons, and of physicians who have
given much attention to the subject discussed
and ought therefore to be trustworthy.

Manassas J


Light slept the soldiers on the Sabbath eve,x
That Sabbath morn must light them to the fray,
For on the distant hill-tops they perceive
The foeman's vast and glittering array;
understanding host Ger hill and dale
Pollute with murdrous tread Virginla's soil
Their discord rude defles each placid vale,
They seek with wicked speed our homes to spoil
Bright rose the sun on that eventful morn,
ts7he Sun of AustsrIitz P' the Southrons said,
And forth they marched by light of early dawn
To sleep, perchance, at night on CORY bed!
Undaunted they by any numbers there,
No craven fear possessed one manly heart,
But each resolved to boldly do and dare,
To meet the foe and bravely act his part
Loud, loud the carnons roared in distant peals,
Waking the echoes with thunder fierce and wild;
The uncertain future each soldier feels
Is near-it wakes emotions strange and wild
Now loved ones far away appear to view,
As backward Ger the past swift memory flies,
Now old loves and friendships appear anew
To these the cannon only now replies!
Nearer! nearer the bloody foeman comesl
The marshaled hosts now meet in deadly strife!
The air resounds with rush of balls and bombs
The kindly earth's with bloody carnage rife
Now rings the cry of deadly hate or painl
Now foemen rnsh to shed each others blood!
Now strive the Southern bands with might and main
To crush to earth that murd'rous tyrant food!
And long they strove beneath burning sun,
With wav'ring fate, but never wav'rlng mind!
Against overwhelming odds of three to one,
But to retreat were not at all inclined!
Nor strove in vain the tyrant foe at length,
Appalled, with fear, with eager haste retreat,
Too we'll convinced of Southern pluck and strength,
They fed from foes they dared no longer meet!
The battles DER! the deadly foeman's gone!
Now the wild bird sings DER the graves of those
Who for their country's rights well have done!
Meath the pine tr les shade they now repose.
With kindly their bones were laid to rest;
With pious awe the stranger comes to see
The warriors grave, by whole nation blest!
And silent prays that such may his fate be.
