House Of Representatives, to the effect that
Mr.. Vallandigham once said, before the war
broke out, that the troops of Ohio, before
they should march through his district to

Mr.. Vallandlgham solemnly denies that
he ever used any such language or uttered
any such sentiment. The proof of it rests
upon the unsupported declaration Of Edger

a short speech that this same Congressman
from the Summit District made to us, in

and boyhood acquaintance, we called upon
him at the Capital; and IN the course ol a

she had, in little iron bound chest, $97,-

prudence, which we should not have expec-
ted to find in saint, but which showed that
she had learned the necessity of being as
wise as serpent and harmless as dove, she
intrusted the money to the Express Company
who transported it for her. Only think of
it--$97, 600 and a. women going to some

The special Washington telegraph

of intelligence: 1868 ...E
"The Senate has passed the bill applying
over eight thousand dollars to reimburse Sen

ing money from the pockets of the
people. They would not dared to have
done so, if they had not supposed that
the infamous conduct of Senator Sim
mons had been forgotten in the excite
ment and %hirlwind of the war. 1t
will be remembered that after the
blockade on the Southern ports by the
National Government, Senator Sim
mons, from Rhode Island, tMe to his
Yankee instincts to turn penny, had
small vessel fitted out at Providence,
with notions" to trade along the
Southern coast in violation of the
blockade, and that in the act of per-
forming its mission on the coast of
North Carolina, it was seized, and its
cargo confscated, whether by Federal
or Confederate authority, we do not
now remember, nor is it material which.
The appropriation of this sum of mon
ey to such man, and for such a pur-
pose is nothing but the most bare-faced
public plunder, and should meet the
condemnation of every hon
est man in the country. We suppose,
however, that the party in power, by
the process Of comparative depravity,
look upon this little specimen of steal,
ing as quite justifiable. Certainly, it
is TO be measured, and consequently
judged, by other acts of public plum
der under the immediate supervision
of the present administration, by
which more than SIXTY MILLIONS OF
of the peoples money have
been squandered upon political favor~
ties since the war began, according to
the unconhoverted declaration Of Mr..
Dawes, Massachusetts, Republican,
and one Of the members of the COM
mittee of investigation. We admit
that by a somewhat illogical mode of
reasoning from the act itself to its NOR
ii results, it might almost be approved
rather than condemned. But we warn
yhese politicl cormorants that day of
'econing is fast approaching. The
people, through the ballot>box, if it

state Taxes.

Some Republicans declare the State taxes
were materially reduced by the present Leg
islatute. This they know to be untrue. The
facts in the matter may be easily ascertaihed
by calling at the Auditors office. We have
done so, and we find that the levy for 1861
was four and eleven twentieths mills on the
dollar; making the total levy on this County
$30,471. The levy Tor 1862 is six and two
fiiths mills on the dollar, which runs the
State tax on this Comfy up to about $45 600.
These are stubborn facts, taken from the
record which no man can dispute, and those
who deny them tell what is not true.---

No one in few words has stated the
errors OF the emancipation policy Of Con-
gress and the Abolition leaders better than
Mon gomery Blair, the Postmaster General.
In letter Of response to an invitation to
attend meeting in New York, on the 9th of
March last, Mr.: Blair said:
1.-THE difficult question with which we
have to deal, then, is the question Of race,
and do not think it is disposed Of, or that
our difficulties will be lessened by emancipa-
ton by Congress, even il such an act was
constitutional. 1t would certainly add to
the evaporation Of the non slayeholding

| We find the following in the Albany Euen-
ing Journal edited by Thurlow Weed, one of
the ablest and most influential journals in
the North. He says:
IAN HONEST CONFESSION. ..,
| "The chief architects Of rebellion, before
| it broke out, avowed that they were aided in
their Internal designs by the ultra Abolition
lists of the North. This was too true, for
soithom such aid the South never could have
been united against the Union. But for the 10.
cendiary recommendations which rendered
the otherwise useful Helper book a firebrand,
| North Carolina could not haze been forced out Of
the Union. And, even now, the ultra Aboli-
ton press and speech makers are aggrayating
the horrors they helped to create, and, thus,
by playing into the hands OF the leaders Of
rebellion. are keeping do,0n The Union men of
the South, and rendering reunion difficult, #
not impossible"
Every word Of that applies, with great
force, to such sheets as the Cincinnati Gazette
and Cincinnati Commercial, who, by their
violent Abolitionism, are playing into the
hands OF the rebels, and are worth more to
JEFF Davis than an army with banners. II
they were subsidized by the Confederate Cow
eminent they could not render it greater as
sistance. Upon this confesso on Of the Jour.
nal, the Albany Aryus and Atlas comments
as follows: ~a@ e
at is gratifying to find an organ Of the po-
sition and influence Of the Epeniag journal
giving utterance to truths against which too
many Of its party close their eyes, and boldly
denouncing that evil spirit at the North
which would play into the hands Of treason
and shiver the Union into fragments rather
than fail in its design to Aboltionize the
icountry. The return Of the veteran editor Of
the Journal will be hailed with satisfaction,
it is to establish in its columns the consis-
tent advocacy of such sentiment" ar

Love for the Union and the States

1t Is urged by the Fusion Abolition
lists that all who are not in favor of the
immediate Establishment" of slavery by
the action of Congress or the Presi>
dent, or both combined, love slavery
more than the Union. They put forth
this obvious lie in order to impose up
on those who are GREEN enough to be-
lieye it. . ..a'aar -.L
Because man is in favor Of grants
ing to Mahomedans or Pagans the free
exercise of their religion, it does not
follow that he is, therefore, in love
with Mahomedanism or Paganism.-
He stands up for the rights of others,
and in so doing, is defending his own.
Personal rights, including the right
to property, are determined by State
laws, and maintained by State Con-
stitutions and State Governments
Because man insists that State laws,
Constitutions and Governments shall
not be interfered with, but maintained
in all their vigor and efficiency, it does
not, therefore, follow that he is in love
with every law, regulation or institu>
ton the people of any State may see
fit to enact or establish. He is simply
defending the rights of the people of
other States, and by SO doing is mains
tanning those of the people of his own
State, as well as his own personal lib
erty and individual rights.
1t isa vile personal slander to charge
that man who insists that the people
of every State have the constitutional
right, of which the Federal Govern
ment cannot divest them, to maintain
or abolish slavery, loved that institu-
ticn more than the Union. Those who
make the charge know its falsity, and
make it from the lowest and meanest
partisan motiyes-to keep themselves
in power at the expense of truth, hon
esty and patriotism.
lie who would array the Federal
Government or any branch thereof
against any constitutional right of a
State, arrays it against the Union it.
self. A war upon a State is war
against the Union, as much as to break
one of the links in chain is breaking
the chain itself. .c,. y,, aaa
Because citizen of Ohio demands
that the constitutional rights of his
State shall be respected and not be
interfered with by the General Gov
ernment, it does not follow that he
loves Ohio more than the Union. He
loves the Union and all the States of
which it is composed, as q man loves
family, and cannot for the life of him
tell which member he would prefer to
part with. He might likely say to an
questioner-"You insult
me, sir; can never consent to part
with either" '.@ ' as
So says the true American patriot
the man who loves the Union above all
price-when asked to consent to the
unconstitutional dissolution or breaking
up of any one State-"You insult me,

That the so called Union politicians O

That Congress has been in session
eight months and done nothing but
legislate on the subject of slavery,
passing emancipation bills, bills for the
confscation of property, and other I'm
constitutional measures, to the great
injury of the white people of the
North, who have contributed literally
