The State Central Committee

OF the Vallandigham Democracy met in Co.
lumbus on the LIST inst, to lay out the work
for the campaign. The Statesman newspaper,
alluding to the action of this Committee, says:
"Let the good work go on. While we
will aid to repel rebel invasion, and while our
sons and brothers are fighting the rebellion on
Southern soil, we will not allow Abolitionists
and Despots to invade the constitutional rights
of free people in the loyal North"
How does this declaration coincide with the
"peace" doctrine of the Democratic candi-
date for Governor? Is it constitutional
right of " free people of loyal North " to
give aid and comfort to the enemy?
How are "We 1.-THE Vallandigham Democ-
racy to aid to repel rebel INVASION" &C., and
at the same time support candidate who
puts his position on record as follows:
"Sir, I am not Southern man either
although in this most unholy and unconstitu'
tional crusade against the South, in the mids
of the invasion, arson, insurrection, and mur
| der, to which she has been subject, and will
which she is still threatened-with the torcl
of the incendiary and the dagger of the assas
sin suspended over her-my most cordia
sympathies are wholly with er.''- Rallandig

The militia organ,zatlon.

Under the late State Militia Law elections
were held upon Saturday last, for the choice
of Company officers in the various militia dis
tricts. The returns of the elections are for
warded to the sheriff. It is his duty on or be-
fore the 10th of July, to organize the Com
panies into Regiments. Each regiment to be
composed of not less than eight nor more
than ten Companies
The organizations are then reported to the
Adjutant General, and are liable to be called
upon for duty any time the exigence of the
State may require, or may be called out by
the sheriff to suppress not, mobs, or to enforce
civil law.
The sheriff is also empowered to call cleo
tons for field officers, the Adjt. General hav
ing previously given to each regiment its
number, and to each Company its letter.
For many years our militia organizations
have been going to decay. Nearly all traces
of military spirit among the people has IA
ded out. The condition of the country calls
for renewal of military organizations and
military spirit. We should give such atten-
ton to this business that upon any call, large
bodies of drilled and efficient men may be
thrown into the field able to cope with and
repel any enemy who may seek to enter our
borders or deyastate our country. Now that
Company organizations have been effected no
delay should be permitted, but the militiamen
at once be put upon an active system of train
ing for service Let the militia of Ohio be
promptly prepared for the field, and we have
grand army within cur border, that can car
ry moral terror into the camps and councils
of the enemy. We have the example of in
vaded Pennsylvania before us, and if we re-
main long in an unprepared, defenceless con-
dition, upon our heads rests the blame. On
this point we must be on guard. The demon
stration of less than year ago, upon the Gin
cnnati border, made the enemy aware that
Ohio was one vast boundary of fighting men.
How much more imposing will be the rally OF
