LETTER OF HON. G. Il. VAL.
LANDtGIIAM TO A FRIEND
AT IIILLSBORO. ..r.- ....
WINDSOR, c. W, Sept'r | I, Is.

l.t. WINDSOR 7. W. sept + /, 1853.
My DEAR S1R;-I received yonl
letter to DAY, and thank you for it.
| am watching the coulse Of the
Ohio campaign, Of course, with
deep Interest, and am gratitied bel
Jond measure to sec the noble
struggle which the people arc mt.
king to recover their lost liberties.
And l need not say that Lam still
more rejoiced, if possible, to oh
servo the daily accumulating in.
dications of success. One lesson
among many others, a triumph at
the election will teach all men
how little confidence politicians
have in the Intelligence and virtue
of the people, and yet how much
they deserve, and how great the
power Of the people il, when they
are determined to put it forth. If
public men would always do what
they believed to be right, aud do
it couragcously, they would always
have the support of the people in
the end. For all such the might
ana majesty of the "sober second
thought" is high tower and sure
rock of defense.
While our friends arc making
so gallant fight for constitutions
al liberty and the "Union as it
was" the enemy Of course are do
ing the best they can. But no
wonder that at their meetings the
numbers are small anil the enthu.
smSm still less. "Shoddy," and
Shoddy's wife and daughter are,
Of course, always there, and very
much cnthuSed. But debt, taxa
ton, war, cohscription, cmanclpal
ton, pcculation, and dcspotism are
not calculated to call out the pco.
pie, or to make them very enthusi'
astic. No wonder the county conn
mittees are not able "to give notice
to the surrounding country in time
to get out such q meeting rs was

JOHN SHERMAN, the part of abusing
me in the canvass. Well, it is all
right! That. is all that the fellow
is lit for. Aud it is not the first
time that party to a Suit, having
avery bad cause, has employed a
vulgar pettifoggcr '.just to bully

does not know that if Tie namC
were I" Dutch" at all, it would be
-"High Dutch" But it is curious
that while tho sensitive Charles is
so offended at uly name, he is desl
perately enamored with the delicate
sSAd essplEani9ns name Of iSeheack,
But there is no disputihg about
taste.
Charles is facetious, too, about
my "cXilo." A stranger who did
not know Charlcs'S peculiaritics,
might think it odd that he, who, a
little while ago, whincd so pitcousl
ly about his own exile from Texas,
would at least have spoken with
some show of gravity and dcccncy
about Others. But where one who
boasts that he was "born" a gen
tlcman, becomes ambitious to be a
blackguard, nothing better can be
expected; and Charles is brave be-
hind the backs and in the absence
of his opponents.
am glad to know one fact, at
which | am sure all our friends
will rejoice with me. The Dcrnocr
racy in every state in the Union,
take the deepest interest in our
soccess, and we have the cordial
sympathy Of all Of them in every
Stase.
If ! were. not Interested in the
matter, would profoundly regret
the "divisions" in the Democracy
CT Ohio. There seem to be three
factions there just now. First
"The Democracy who nominated
a ticket on the l1th Of June, at the
head Of which find my own name,
Next "The War Democracy" as
scmblcd on the 18th of June, and
nominating that ''lifellong Demo.
crat," John Brough. Third aud
lastly--The true Democracy" who
met in Cincinnati tue other night
and issued an address. Very strange
indeed, tnat tic "IVar Dcmocrar
cy" and the "Truc Democracy"
could not "luse" at the Hamilton
county convention, on Saturday,
the goth ult. ! But could not some.
thing be done to unite these fac.
tions Of the Democracy, in support
of the ticket Of the 11th of June d?
Why not?: The Democracy"
ought to be cone and indivisible,"
and [ think the support of the
first ticket nominated, would be a
fl ir compromise. John Brough
and every other "life'long Dcrlo-
crat," | do not doubt, would agree
to it, if they would but reflect upon
it, and then have the courage to
act for themselves. A unanimous
election in Ohio would produce a
effect, The efforts, there
fore, to induce Drough to decline,
ought to be pcrsoyeroI in. lie

by the regular Democratic Convcn-
ton, and as a "lifc.long Democrat" J"
he has no.right to "bolt." .
But go.on with the good work,
and let old Highland give her pro-
missed majority! My kind regards
to all friends. a."

Martial Law and Civil Law in Kansas

was picked up summarily By some
United States soldiers in Kansas.
Mayor Anthony is a radical, "the
straightest Of the sect" He didn't
like this high handed piece Of milit

Mayor Anthony'S friends--radil

with this short handed way soldiers

C-opperhead Boasts.

The Wheeling Intelligencer notices a
Vallandigham mass meeting at GAINESVILLE
on Saturday last, and says that the Cop
perheads who got on board the cars at the
way stations in Belmont and Guernsey
counties, were venomous and malignant
beyond even ordinary conception. They
yelled the name of Vallsndigham at every
station. They talked Of President Lincoln
as a I'D old s~coundrel," and denounc-
ed the Consumption actas an outrage upon
Estate rights" One Of them was asked if
he thought Vallandigham a loyal man. BE
boastingly replied:
"No, by Cd, and I don't want him to
be. We owe no loyalty to Abe Lincoln. We
are the sovereigns in this country and its
Abe LiuoOln's business to be loyal to US"
With such Copperhead doctrines as these
they went to their destination, where they
had their cowardIy and traitOrous purposes
strengthened by their great leader. Now
we ask all loyal men, who have a particle
Of self-respect as Americans, or an iOta Of
pride in, and devotion to, their country, if
they are willing such men should become
the ruling party in our midst If not,
then let them rouse and defeat the Copper
head ticket at the polls.

Sygeaking Of the disgraceful scenes and
loss Of life attendant upon the English de.
monstrstiOns ia connection with the Prince,
the New York Times says:
"What a pity it is that England has not
q strong government,'-one strong enough
at all events, to keep the streets open on
such an occasion as the marriage Of their
future sovereign. The British press is very
fond Of approaching us with our weakness
and incapacity in this respect;-but pos
sibly the Prince Of Wales may remember
the incidents Of his own reception in this
city well enough to contrast them with
those which marked his wedding day in
London. Although our streets were
crammed from morning to night, although
we had only an ordinary police without
arms, and no soldiers to sustain their su-
thority, and although a very large proper
ton Of the hundreds Of thousands who
crowded our streets on that day, were men
who bore the Prince sndhis country no good
will, not a woman or child was hurt in the
slightest degree, nor did the Prince hear,
during the whole day, q single word Of
personal d%isrespect. John Bull may find
it desirable, some day, to strengthen his
government a little by infusing into It q
triAe more Of the democratic element"

Mr.. Addison L. Latin, Of Herkimer,
member of the Senate of New York in
1858 and 1859, and a large paper manu-
facturer, has addressed a letter to the
farmers of Mohawk Valley, urging them
to SOW a large crop of hemp for the pur-
pose Of paper making. He Gays:
"Iwould like to have hemp grown, and
1 will agree to purchase two thousand tons
Of hemp straw. l am told that good strong
land will produce from three to five tons
Of hemp straw to the acre My process
enables me to use the hemp straw after the
seed has ripened; while heretofore the
crop must be grown, either for the bark
or the seed, realizing only one profit. By
selling me the hemp straw and others the
hemp seed, q farmer will make two profits.
