q Dispatches from Washington state that Sec
relary Cameron has resigned, aid that Hon. e.
M. Stanton hasibeen appointed in his place; al
40 that Secretary Cameron has been appointed
Minister to Russia in place Of @. NJ Clay, who
Is coming home to take part in the war as
Bdgadier General ' i89 z4 "5i
2 NOcause has been assigned for Mr.. Cameron's
resignation, but we presume it is owing to the
ahtagonism Of his views and the Presidents as
TO how the war shall be conducted and as to
what shall be done with the slaves--the former
believing that the war should be conducted SO
as to do away with the cause, the latter that it
should be carried on SO that the cause shall still
exist. Like good physician, the one wishes
TO remove the disease at once, the other like a
quack, merely wishes to seab il over, that IL
may still remain and tester, and become more
Corrupt, that he may have an opportunity of
making smother fec out of the patient at some
future time. " i'
BIr. Cameron has been Woodworking, eff
eient Secretary OF War and has accomplished
a vast amount of work under very unfavorable
circumstances. He has furnished us with an
army of half million well drilled, well cloth
ed and well fed soldiers, and has provided the
best Of arms for their use. We believe that no
man has worked harder or more understanding
ly for the good Of the Union cause than he, and
we regret that the War Department is to lose
his invaluable services
y Mr. Stanton is an able and energetic man.
He has always been strenuous Democrat but
last Fall favored the election of Mr.. Lincoln to
the Presidency. He is known TO be opposed to
the extention of slavery beyond its present linn
its, bat what his views are in regard to slavery
now we are not advised. If he meets the ex-
pectations of the people as well as Mr. Cameron
has, hewill deserve their confidence
4 The report that c. NJ. Clay will be made
Brigadier General and be placed in command Of
Brigade, viii be hailed with Joy by all good
loyal citizens every where. -

From, mexico.

New York, Jan. 14.-AdVices from Ha-
yana are to the 7ih inst. On the 28th ult.,
Gen. Prim, after most enthusiastic recep-
ton by the Havanese, left for Vera Cruz to
take command of the expedition there
He was accompanied by a. portion of the
French contingent. Several of the English
vessels had also been at Havana, but had
not yet gone to Mexico. The first news
from Vera Cruz had been received by a
steamer which left there on the 25th. Ac.
cording to accounts brought down from the
interior by Sir Charles Wyke, the English
Minister, the Mexicans arc making immense
preparations TO oppose the progress of the
allies into the interior Juarez bad issued
temperate proclamation calling on all par
ties 10 unite TO repel the invasion, and bis
call had been almost universally responded
to. II was believed over 100000 men
would soon be in the field with 100 pieces
OF artillery. Uraga was preparing to dis
pute the passes above Vera Cruz with some
10000. Tampico, tits understood, will not
DO surrendered without q struggle, for
which the place is we'll prepared. It's au-
nounced that on the 2sth ult., an English
steamer sailed from that port for Matamor-
as under very suspicious circumstances.

Pertinent Ouestious.

We commend the following to the attention
of those very sensitive persons who are 50 fear
full that the Constitution will be violated by
some human being becoming freeman. The
extract is from the New York Tribune:
@Should war unfortunately break out between
England and the United States, an English Ar
my would be landed at some Southern port
and, i'll connection with the Confederate forces
march upon Washington Baltimore, and posi-
bly, Philadelphia. What would the Slavery
fanatics say to that? Would they still insist
that this war is prosecuted to preserve the
constitutional rights" of slaveholders7 Would
they leave the slaves in bondage to aid Eng.
land to fight against usP We fancy not. With
all their besotted admiration Of Slavery, they
would call out Justify for emancipation. Then
why not do so now, aud thus at single blow
crush the rebellion and render English inter
ventOn impossible3 Why not?"
And we ask, @why not?" Either Slavery OF
the Union must perish. Which shall it be2"

IL
The Columbus States11dn consoled itself
after the election, that Democrats elected on
the Union Ticket to the Legislature,
would vote with the Democrats that we're
elected by the anti-war, disunion party.--
But the Statesman now caves in as follows:
"In the organization which took place on
Monday, the Union men as they arc term.
ed, acted in harmony aud filed all The Of
fees within the gift Of the Legislature, with
men belonging to that organization, and
most Of those chosen we're from the Repub.
lican side Of the new party. To outward
appearances the selections for the offices
appear to be satisfactory to the members o
the dominant party, and SO far As we know
the gentlemen chosen will discharge thei
respective duties crcditably., 81, +,..

unanimity, will accord to the new party
their thanks for doing a good work, ant
one equally as effective as bayonets anC
gunpowder; but if they fail to como shor
on these vital points, they will indeed in
cur fearful responsibility"
We had scarcely expected the editor o
the Statesman to go so far as he does ii
the above extract, and admit that the I'm
ion party are on the right platform, and
that "thc people OF Ohio, sOith undnimity
will accord 10 the new party their thank,
for doing good work, one equally as etFec
tive as bayonets and gun powder" The
merit of this endorsement of the people, il
that it is in direct opposition to the course
the Statesman and the Hard-shell Democ
racy of this State during the last year
We need no better evidence that the De
mocratic party is dead, fact which the
Statesman seems to admit--Zanesvilze Gaz.

who would have meIIevcd n,


20 Who would have believed that there could at
this time be found, a man capable ofintroducing
much less voting fora resolution like the
one below, in the Ohio Legislature. Mr.. Dres-
sci Of Franklin county, and of the Democratic
persuasion, introduced in the House the follow
ang resolutions s9sss nai hsr1f .as sr. u
a. ResOtvea, That Slavery is State institution,
guaranteed as such by the Constitution and
laws of the United States, and we cannot agree
that the National Goyertinent shall undertake
the emancipation of Slaves against the will of
slavehOlding States, 80 military necessity, on
any ground lrfdtsosver!
Here is a resolution that makes Slavery more
sacred than the preservation of the Govern
,ment itself 1t says the Government must not
interfere with Slavery On 1,g ground lctatsoeuey,
and the reason why itshould not do so, is shat
Slavery isa State institution, guaranteed as srsh
by the Constitution and laws of the United
States" If this doctrine is to prevail, the Goy-
er9mept cannot touch, any thing belonging to
the rebels for are not the rights TO own real es-
tate, to own horses, to own cattle. to own mon
eys, and tillthe soil, just as much STATE insti-
tutions, and guaranteed as such blythe Consti-
tuition andrlaws of the United States, as is sla-
yeyyr Is not the right to own one species of
property just as sacred as the otherI In the
Slave States no distinction is made between
slave and other property 7the one being just as
liable to be taken on anexecutiOn to pay man 3
debts az the other, Then. it seems to US, that
those members who voted for the above resolu-
tion can take but enc advance stop before land
lug in the EeFy ranks of thetraitors What more
can the rebels ask ofthese one-horse Legislators,
then that hey should make Slavery more sa-
cred than the Union. unless It be that they should
take up arms and join the ranks OF the Confed-
eratesi- Dothsy not virtually say that though
the Union berent assunder. the Constitution
trampled under foot, and the liberties of the
people destroyed that the Government must not
emsDeipate the Slaves, although that act would
preserve all these to Us and to our childrenl

A Tribute 20 Col. Huckland, T2d Hegi-
nnent o. ". M.
In view Of tho great amount Of evil pro-
duced in our country, by the sale of intoxi-
eating drinks, desire 10 say few words
in favor Of him who so nobly volunteers TO
unfurl the white banner of peace and love
of him who helps to free our sex from the
oppression Of Intemperance, to save the
drunkard from his cups and his moral deg
radiation, TO purify the immortal and God
like mind from the debasing, uldestroy.
ing scourge, Intemperance. Could our
Commanders fully realize tho great amount
of good that would result TO our nation, as
well as individuals, from proclamations of
that kind being made and put in force,
they most certainly would issue them from
every Regiment in The service; and they
would 60 forth like ministeriDg angels lad
en- with JOY and comfort to cheer the hearts
Of thousands who are now mourning in sad
ness, aud fearing that their husbands, ia
tbers, sons and brothers may return from
the battlefield polluted with an uucCnquer-
able appetite for ardent spirits, which
would be far more heart-rending than to
gather up their mangled forms on the field
of battle. All honor to Colonel BUcKLAND,
for this philanthropic, this patriotic and no.
bic deed. May the God Of battles protect
and shield him, amid the roaring of can
non and the clash of arms. May angels Of
mercy whisper sweet dreams Of peace, Of
our nations prosperity, while he sleeps on
the tented field; strengthen his heart and
nerve bis arm to WELD with power, decis-
ion and affection the scepter committed TO
his trust; and may he return from the bat
tle-field covered with unfading honors, with
chaplet Of his nations gratitude entwined
around his brow, that shall bloom long af-
ter he shall have passed to the spirit-land.

The. President ON Tuesday last, sent into the
Senate the names Of Thomas +. Meagher and
James Shields to be Brgadior Generals. That
was right, for no class of citizens have been
more prompt in volunteering to fight our eoun-

the Irish, and it is but ft that their valuable
services should be thus honorably recognized
by the country.

The young men Of Ohio will have the
honor Of furnishing from their number
the soldiers necessary to protect the fair
fame OF our State. From the alacrity
with which they have already volunteer
ed their services, it would seem that this
branch Of our duty Is safe in thoir hands
To the older portion Of our citizens musI
we look, mainly, for the "sinews Of war;"
and il assessments shall be justly appor.
toned among them, all should take delight
in contributing their quota. Look well
to it, then, that our system Of taxation be
just aud equal, so that each citizen shall
pay no more nor any less than his just
proportion. The burthens Of government,
as well as its blessings, should be shared
by all alike. eutl cJ
The national government has been
obliged to call upon the loyal States for
pecupiary aid. This call should be re-
sponded TO promptly and cheerfully. The
extent Of The call cannot, with any degree
Of certainty, be stated at this time; it is
believed, however, that the sum Of three
millions per annum for few years will
fully meet all acquisitions likely 10 be
made upon Ohio. II this amount should
be added to the large amounts ordinarily
assessed against the people, it could not
fail to prove extremely burtheusome;
hence, they will expect you, while max
ing provision for the wants Of the Nation
al Government, to relieve, il possible,
the burthens now resting upon them
This relief is to be obtained mainly by a
reduction of salaries and per diem com
pensstion now paid, and by the reduction
Of local taxation. Both of these measures
| urge upon you.
The salaries now paid 10 the several
State, county and township officers vary
but little from $5O0,000, and, with the
single exceptions OF State Auditor and
Treasurer, they will bear reduction Of
twenty five per cent.-thus saving the
sum Of Sl25,00O

for the year 1861, were:
