My DEAR SR:--I regret that en-
gagements to speak in New York will
prevent my being with you in person
on Tuesday evening, to unite my voice
with yours in the general rejoicing.
Let MS take fresh courage, and make
new and higher resolves. Nobly have

nifcance. Do not ignore it or try to
blot 1t out. The verdict of the peo.
pie is for the Government. Tho 10y
al men of Ohio have endorsed the Ad
ministration and its policy. They
have declared that treason and rebel
lion shall he crushed out by force of
arms, and that there shall be no sur
render or compromise with traitors.
The vote of the loyal men OF Ohio
was also vote of thanks to our brave
soldiers OH the tented field, and q SOL
emn pledge that they shall be sus-
tanned and supported by the whole
power of the Government.
This is our verdict 1t is a vcr-
dict for Union and peace, for free
dom and the Constitution MS it is. -
1t is q verdict which declares that
Abraham lincoln has been faithful to
his pledges, and faithful to his duties
as President Of the whole people.
The development of the enancipa
patton idea is, and ever Willie, the
browning glory of Mr.. Lincom's Pres
idential term. Let us not forget tn: (
our verdict means a full endorsement
of the Emancipation Proclamation, al
so. The loyal people of the entire
nation have not only approved, but
loudly applauded his boldest and
most liberal acts.
The vote Of Ohio, Pennsylvania, In.
diana and Iowa, and indeed the un-
conditional Union vote of the entire
nation pledges to him their united
support in maintaining the Union.

crowd Of people were in from all parts
of the county. Messrs. Josiah and
Jolinathan Shaffer, of Cess, brought

wind was too high to make burning

The illumination, however, was all
that could have been desired. Almost
every business and dwelling house
from the river bridge to the Crool;

Col. j. c. Lee spoke on Main street,

Both made telling speeches. The

v-<4..-
From letter from Lieutenant Z. A.
Ballard, of the 18th Ohio, we take
the following:
The 2lst was the only regiment in
our brigade which participated ex-
tensively in the battle For eight
long hours this gallant regiment held
its position, unsupported, against q
brigade and battery, repulsing seven
different charges made upon them,
by troops whose boast it was, that they
had never been foiled in q charge.
They fought until the casualties in
the regiment exceeded the number
left unhurt. And after having ex-
pended their last round of ammuni-
ton, made two charges with empty
guns, in the last of which, the regi-
ment was surrounded, and forced TO
cut its way out, losing about rs pris-
oners. Such heroism is not often dis.
played upon any field. Hancock owes
a debt OF gratitude to her noble sons
in the gallant 2lst.

but there are some things which it cannot do
and others which it cannot purchase. We may
admit it to be- the siDews of war--but is it the
heart or the muscles In England, we think
very unfortunately, the tendency has been TO-
ward q worship of wealth. simply as such, and
n contempt not perhaps for personal but ccr-
tanly for national poverty. "He's 80 very
poor" SAYS one person Of another in an En-.
glish comedy, ";lat you would take him for
an inbabtant of Italy" This is the psrfec.
ton of purse-proud complacency. De Tocque.
vile observes that in the eyes Of England,
her enemies must be rogues, and her friends
great men," 1t is this association OF arrogance
and acquistiveness which has given to England
bad Public Reputation. "When she seems"
says De Tocqueville, "to care for foreign ma
tions, she cares only for herself" A man who
acquires character like this will find money
powerIess to purchase public respect-he may
bs feared, but he will also be detested-nor do
we believe that there is one rule for nations
and another for individuals.
Finally, in the spirit of Frankns observa'
ton that the rapacity of England has usually
cost more than it came to, we beg leave to
suggest that IN unjust and selfish policy is
equally sbort-sighted. Have British economists
been able to determine that the establishment
of the Confederacy would promote the manu-
featuring interests Of their country Have
they, in their calculations, recognized the H.
tense prejudice against England which exists
in the Slaveholding States Have they esti'
mated the chances of certain production Of
the coveted staple. if the present system OF
slave cultivation is to be continued Have
they considered the difficulties which they may
encounter in maintaining amicable relations
with the unreasonable and impetuous oligarcby
which low controls, aud in the event of their
will continue to control the Re-
VOTED States' These, it seems to US, are
questions which even Se6shness can afford to
consider.

What says The Times'
We last Summer spent one night OF each
week for month or SO at popular wate
ing.place near this City, where nine-tenths OF
the guests were what are called loyal Demo-
Gratis. Ono of them was Brigadler-General
of Volunteers. At this place were two or more
avOwed Secessionists--One OF them the inti-
mate, constant associate of the Democratic
Union Brigadisr. No one was treated less
kindly, cordially, by the great majority for
avowing Secession proclivites, while an "Abo-
litonist" was the general aversion. (All this.
mind you, before there was any Proclamation
Of Freedom to grumble at.) Now, we do mt
believe this sort Of Unionism will ever put
down tho RebelliOn.
If by "the People" The Times means what
the term literally imports, then we are at VA
rance primarily on a question Of fact. If the
anti-Republicans Of the loyal Stntes are really
intent on saving the Union by putting down
the Rebels, thon we arc with them for
80 long q fight as may be necessary. But if
they arc, on the contrary, disposed to lot the
National cause break down-if they propose to
stand of and grumble, and impede, and EN-
barrsss, and dissfiect--then We tell them that
they shall take the full responsibility of their
factious and unpatriotic course We know
that the loyal States can put down the Rebel
lion-we know that TIE TRIBUNE alone can
not-we apprehend that the Republicans can
not, unless relieved from ga fire in the rear"

such resolves as you have set before the Less-
lature OF New Jersey-such a course as you
are pursuing in the Legislatures Of Indiana

In the Summer and Autumn of 1861, there
was a very general desire expressed by earnest
supporters of the War for the Union that but
one ticket should be presented and supported
at our approaching State Election. The Re-
publican State Committee formally proposed a
Union Ticket to the Democratic, but was re-
pulsed with conmmeIy by Dean Richmonds
Central Regency. They insisted on running
str.ight party ticket, and in their nominating
State Convention showed their teeth signt.
cantly at those charged by the Constitution
with the conduct of the War for the Union.
4 portion OF The Democrats, led by Daniel ;.
Dickinson and Lyman TremaiD, revoted at
this, and united in the formation of Union
State Ticket, which swept the State by
One Hundred Thousand majority, despite
the adverse efforts Of Dean Richmond,
Horatio Seymour 81 Co. The :" Weed Repub-
icans" entered very coldly into the Union
arrangcment-in fact, did bot enter fully into
it at all. They nominated Republican Canal
