The Recent Butternut Meeting at st.
ClairsviIle.
ST.. CLA1RsvILLE, Ohio, Oct. IL.

Editors Lntstiigsneer:
The pertlnacity and effrontery with which
some men will violate the truth, is aston
ishing, but for a cool, refreshing specimen
of unadulterated lying, that article on the
Butternut Convention which met in this
place, by the Press editor, is uDequalled. The
ButteInuts themselves agree that II was a
failure ia point of numbers and account for
its being so in various ways, but that pill
ant tool of treason the Press declares it to
have been "a glorious demonstration" 1t
says also, in one delegation alone, which
helped to swell procession that reminded
il OF the palmy days of 40" were twenty
FIVE wagons aud about fifty persons on horse
back. The whisky with which the Butter
nuts stopped the editor must have been the
regular "dnuble barrelled. tauglefoot," for
there were not so many vehicles, or horse
men in the whole procession. 1 have heard
those declare who counted, that men Wo-
men aud children included, It numbered
one hundred and tUenty.
Prominent as marshal and leader of the
procession was n man who has declared in
the streets of this town that he preferred
the Government of JEFF. Davis to that of
Abraham Lincoln, and at u meeting when
the war broke out subscribed fifty dollars
for the relief of the families of volunteers,
but upon reflection Ell ased his name and sub.
scriplion, thus violating his plighted faith
as a man of honor. Others, of the same ilk
acted as assistant marshals and haunted to
the breeze the flag of our country.
Such are the men who parade branches of
Butternuts, the insignia of treason. side by
side with the glorious emblem of our ma
tions glory, and who tue Press would have
our people believe are going to save our
country. God protect country the sal
YAtiOn or destruction of which depends
upou such men.-But we may thank God
that they are not aud that there is little dan
ger of their being in position to harm our
country, if Union men but do their duty at
the ballot-box, as they are doing it. upon
the battlefield.

pussilanimous sneak, Ross j. Alexander,
charged the Wheeling gentlemen, who that
evening addressed tue Union citizens, with
having carried revolvers in their pockets
TO "intimidate free speech" ] heard also
the honest and earnest dsnuuciatiOn of
Alexander as a "liar and a coward"-by
one of these geutlemen-aud witnessed the
effect which one determined man may have
upon fifty blatant rowdies. Those gentle
men would have been well sustained in
case of fight and the blows of earnest.
determined men would have told fearfully
upon such dissipated rogues as composed
that crowd. This same Ross Alexander is
strangely inconsistent, endorsing and ap.
piauding the ridiculous remarks of STAN
baugh on amalgamation, and yet has done
more to encourage it practically than any
mao in this county. SPECTATOR.

was not done2 In reply would say, that
the Public Printing is under the care of the
clerk of House of Delegates, and his certif-
cate being upou the bill that it was done,
it was not my business to dispute 1.-THE
law having charged this officer of the Gen
eral Assembly with the experimenting OF
the Public Printing, concluded that all
was right, aud the Whele matter would have
remained a profound secret until the as
sembling of the Legislature had not this
dirty editor constantly outraged both my
own and my family's feelings and charac-
ter.
Now let this dishonest editor hide bis
head as one driven from society by his own
perfidty. Before close let me ask the ed
itor of the Wheeling Press whether that
paper is not now owned by Henry Moore,
the fAther-in-law of O. W. Russell, of the
Rebel Congress- and whether he (Henry
Moore) is not now buying and paying for
the paper upon which the abusive articles
of that paper are printed?

There has been quite a STIR among the
English clergy in consequence of tho
lectures of the Rev. Mr.. DORSEY, of
Cambridge, '.on the common faults of
reading the service of the Church." One
of hiseBorts is thus noticed in a late jour
nal:
1.-The lecturer introduced the subject
by brief reference to tho prejudice exis-
ting against 'elocution.' from its abuse.
and from the ordinary mode ofinstrnction.
Bio defended it from the charge of indu-
cling bombastic and theatrical style, and
urged that its study ought to confer a
clear and impressive manner of reading
and speaking The common faults were
then indicated, and illustrated by hume
rons examples of an amusing character.

remedies suggested were early training
in distinct speaking, the establishment of
an English department in the public
schools, and of English scholarships in all
the colleges at Oxford and Cambridge,
and more systematic study of the subject
by all candidates for holy orders The
Bishop of Sierra Leone expressed his
entire concurrence in the views of the
lecturer; whilst opposed to any study that

the last few weeks he has come out openly
and disclosed his whole hideous cloven
foot. he shows himself now to be a
traitor to his country to be ready to take
up and carry on all the dirty work that the
Wheeling Union was compelled to leave OF
when it went down underneath the scorn
and indignation of this community. Day by
day his pnper wakes more bitter, more bigot-
ed and more really brutal in its malevolence
toward the Government The whole sheet
from rim to rim reeks with defamation and
demagoguery. There is not paragraph
in his last issues that does not seem TO he
picked and assorted with a special refer
euee to bringing the struggles of the Gov
eminent into contempt, and to thor
oughly demoralizing our public sentiment
and building up working sympathy with
the great conspiracy in Western Virginia.
No one can doubt that the editor is a link
in the chain of secret allies and agents that
has been stretched across the border, the
chiefs of which are such men as Vallandig-
ham, and all of whom have their separate
parts to play. No oue who saw him at
;he traitor gathering at st. CIairsyille the
other day, and noticed how he struck hands
with the most notorious sympathizers with
secession there, aud how he sat onthe stand
with them and applnuded when the flag of
his country was desecrated by utterauces
suchas would not be tolerated on our streets
here, could fail to see how deeply dyed he
is in venom and hate to the government.
II is useless for such man to disclaim
disloyalty. What does he say or do that
is luyal2 Every word he utters tends to
make men. disloyal. His pages overflow
with abuse of the only men who eau carry

authorities of the nation. On the verge of

hope of safety, viz the public confidence.
The awful issues of the hour are the sport
ofhis partisan tricks. He cannot, be will
not forget the great risk of cutting the
tenure BY which the nation is hanging on
to life and struggling that it may live.
The dangers of trembling balance do not
move him. All the prayers, and hopes

who from day to day are consumed with
anxiety tor the Issue of this great struggle
Tor their future and their chidreu's future,
are su6ordinated to his determination to

We put the question to the loyal people
of this community, to those who observed
the course of the Wheeling Union as ii
stole along under the guise of Democracy
into no coercion, aud finally iuto an open
avowal of secession. whether the Wheeling
Press is not following in the same Steps.
Everything points that way. and We here
put on record our opinion that exactly the
same influences that moved and controlled
the course of the old Wheeling Union now
move and control the Wheeling Press
Time will show whether or not we are
correct.

The above is published editorially in the
Wheeling Press of Saturday. The un-
dersigned are the persons alluded to-,
and all they have to say is that like
other statements which the editor of
the Press has seen fit to publish about
the Union meeting in st. CIairsville, it
is wholly aud totally false. So far as
we know we did not see a man during
the whole day and evening who was under
the influence of liquor, and not one of
our company had about him at either of
the meetings. anything like bowie. knife or
pistol. So far as any of us know there
was not even a pockei-kuife in the com
pany. The only occurrence that had at
all the appearance of a difficulty was after
both meetings were over, when just as we
were starting home a rufian who had i'm
proVised an audience of Butteruuts around
him, endeayored to infiame them into a
mob against us by making the charge that
NE were there with knives and pistols in
our pockets to oYerswe them. One of our
company branded the cowardly defamation
as false, as soon as he heard it, to the speak
er's face. W. F. PETERsoN, SR.,

shall print and bind four thousand copies
Of the acts and resolutions of that body and
deliver them to the Secretary of the Com

18th day of February, 1862. According
to the law he ought to have delivered the
four thousand copies of the acts and reso-

the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Not
one volume WIS delivered at that time. On
