A QsoOd One.

During an Abolition meeting the other
day. the following rich incident occurred.
The speaker (GIBsoN) it will be recollect-
ed is the man who stole several hundred
thousand dollars from the Ohio State
Treasury and was convicted of it by a
Jury. A correspondent of the Statesman
writing from Marion, says
"Bill Gibson denounced Valanligham as a
Convicted candidate, in the most migrate
ful manner, abused men who were his friends
in EXTREMIST need He offered five dollars to
my mau who would declare himself to be for
Yaliandigbam A gallant Democrat stepped
forward and claimed the money. Gibson
wanted to know whether the man was loyal,
and received an answer in the affirmative f:
He was a returned soldier Gibson wanted
10 know why he was not down South now,
fighting the rebels. The soldier retorted by
assiug Gibson why he was not A FIVE dol
lar greenbaek was then handed the soldier,
who stated that he did not propose to keep it,
but would send It to Columbus and have it
placed to the credit Of Gibson in the State
Treasury--as he (Gbson) had helped to abb
stroct theroirom more than half million dol

AabOrIng Men, one Day TO your
Country.

We now call on the laboring men, the
working classes of Dayton and Montgom-
cry county to suspend business for one
day, and devote that day to their cause
and the cause Of their country. This call
is peculiarly addressed to the laboring
men, for they, of all others are chiefly in
terested in the preservation of free institu-
tions in this country. They have not
wealth like CAMeRoN to defeat justice, lnor
official station like Ton, to make legisla-
lures repeal laws, to suit their purposes.
Their only security is in a free Govern
ment, legally, fairly, impartially admins
tered.
Let them then rally, and see that at the
ballot, their last resort now, the insttu-
tions of this land be again under the con-
troll of that party which has always res
pectod their rights, "The Peoples party"

THE ENsLE,s HEART HEATS
FOR LIBERTY!
Extract of Letter from a EsO-
lish Exile TO Nr. VaIIandigham
Read and Re0ectI

I'm these tragical times which shroud a
peoples glorious past in gloomy present
and doubtful future; when the life-blood
grows chilly in the veins Of those who love
their country because OF her liberty, and love
liberty being patriots as the terrified passen-
gers on board a sinking ship in boisterous
sea, when looking 10 the threatening sky,
where all is dark, and over the agitated deep,
TO behold nothing but destruction Of man and
mans make as the distant appearance of an
isle or sudden sight Of a rock is hope to their
stricken hearts, SO now the eyes OF all patri-
ots, the world over, turn to the rock Of civil
liberty appearing in Ohio above the storm Of
ruin.
81 am a native Of Poland and though from
cold climate, my heart beats warm for the
cause of liberty and humanity. Thank God
l am one Of the peoplel Having seen you,
once heard you speak, it was enough for me
TO be a Democrat. But when that fragrant
outrage committed upon your person--nay,
upon as, and struck me like thunderbolt,
first with surprise and amazement, then with
distrust and dismay, passing from a shivering
cold to a passionate heat--mute and trembling
all the time-when others whispered | only
gnashed my teeth and clenched my fist; when
others sympathzed, my heart wept; and this
in free Americal Oh, heaveul Poland strug
giles and America bleeds, and Kosciusko dead
and Washington torgotten There the cause
of people, here the cause Of the world there
the fate of a nation, here the destiny of man
kind To serve the world have enlisted here
my duty compels me to do all can in the
people cause for liberty. The issue has been
made--a people gasps. Only few more
days of sunshine and nation lives; but ah
cloud, and liberty dies Oh how much there
is at stskel Alas that it ever had to come TO
this From what have seen we have reason
to be hopeful Let US then trust, sir, that He
who directs the thoughts of men, the events
of time and the destinies Of nations, will, in
His infinite mercy, yet save onr distracted
country and restore their noble defender to an
peoplel
"Sr, excuse this boldness of an unknown
to address himself, stranger, thus to YOU
and please accept my avowal, that henceforth,
come what may, live or die, sink or swim, per-
ish or survive, whether victorious or defeated

Grand Abolition FizzIe at Os.
borne

For several weeks past the Abolitionists
advertised "grand mass meeting of the
counties of Montgomery, Clarke, Greene
and Champaign, to be held at Osborne,
Brave BEN WADE and Hon. SAMUEL Shell
LABARdER, were announced as the speakers.
They were heavily 'biled" all over the
counties named, and the Abolitionists de-
termined it should be big affair. Alas
for the uncertainty of human expecta-
tions. Yesterday was the time appoint
ed for the meeting. EARLY in the morn
ing few of the anxious patriots (?) were
on hand to get good sight at the process
sions as they come in. But they never
came. After waiting and watching until
late hour, the managers were seen run
ming around, with disappointed looks and
faces long drawn out, cursing and railing
at the people for uot coming out II did
no good. The people would not come,
aud the great mass meeting that was to
have been, dwindled down to iwo haa-
dred voters, all told, who gathered in
mournlul groups around the stand while
the valiant BEN WADE rallied and raved
about their apathy and lack Of interest in
the campaign.
The Democrats of Osborne were
considarahlv amused o.-,,r a st,,aa,,,a,. acrnse
the street. with the inscription, "We well
come old Champaign" and there was NOT
a single man present from Champaign. II
was like calling spirits from the Vastly
deep.
The Abolitionists might as well o'throw
up the sponge" All their efforts to gal
vanize little life into the dead carcass o.
their rotten party, are unavailing. The
people have had enough Of it,

Everybody we suppose has read the
Proclamation OF President LINCOLN, set.
ting apart the last Thursday of Novem.
Der next as aday of Thanksgiving and
prayer. A passage however occurs in
that Proclamation which everybody may
not have observed with the care which its
Significance deserves 1t is as follows
"ln The midst of civil war of uneaualed
magnitude and severity, which has some
timex seemed 10 invite aud provoke the az
gression Of foreign $ ates, peace has been pre-
served with all nations, order has been main
tanned, the laws have been respected and
obeyed, and harmony has prevailed every.
who're, except in the theater Of military con-
fiet while that theater has been greatly con
.traoted by the advancing armies and nayies
OF the Union.
The above description of the country's
present condition is in striking contrast with
what the recent conduct Of the President has
indicated. 1t exposes radical inconsistent
cy on his part. The Proclamation issued
but few days since suspending the privi-
lege of writ of h0JeoS csrpVS throughout
the United States is excused upon one
ground only, even by the Presidents po-
litical friends--namely, that the country
was on the verge of some fearful eXigency
not appreciated by the common masses
and known to the authorities at Wash
ington alone-an exigency requiring, in
the name of "public safty," that martial
law be proclaimed over all the loyal States.
That Proclamation indicated either that
these was serious disturbance of the pub
lie peace or that such was apprehended
outside Of the "theater of military con-
hict." We are, however, according to the
last Proclamation, in much better con-
dition than we suspected, for the President
the country that "peace has
been preserved with all nations, order has
been maintained and harmony has prevail
ed everywhere" outside of the immediate
theater of war. If such be the condition
in the loyal States the question becomes
pertinent, Why does the President by an
unparalleled assumption of power over
throw the rights and liberties of law
abiding community, and subject the civil
authority everywhere to a strictly military
(? Truly here is strange
phenomenon in the operation of Constitu-
tional Government.
Let all patriots, however, on the "last
Thursday OF November next" thank the
Almighty that He has preserved this peo-
pie despite the iniquity of their rulers, and
devoutly pray for speedy deliverance
from the grasp of Abolition fanaticism.

VVhich Side Is he ONT

The following notice of the meeting at
Mozart Hall last night is taken from the
Cincinnati Enquirer. We publish it en-
tire, and call especial attention to the re-
port of Colonel NoLAN's speech.
If ever there was a living example of
the scripture phrase "unstable as water"
his name is NOLAN. He has been stump.
ing with other speakars of the same party
for the whole BRoUGH ticket
"THM MOZART HALL, ALIAS THE War DEN-
oCRArIc MEETING,--By the aid of posters, the
drum and fife, the belman and other anxli-
aries the few individuals in the city who
have assumed the name Of War Democrats
held "a meeting at Mozart Hall last evening,
and drew nearly the whole of their number
together. To the spectator, who happened to
be present out of curiosity the scene present
ed was truly theatrical he would have
thought, from the promiscuous audience, that
be was in a theater indeed. The entire an
dience, with the exception of a sprinkling of
ladies and genuine Democrats, was Republ-
can. There were Republicans in the out
skirts of the crowd and there were Republi-

them, they being on the stage and in the pri-
yate boxes.

exception Of VaItaHdiqham.
The great question now is--on which
side is Colonel NOLAN
We once read the following aneedote {:
A traveller in Texas, accosted little boy
with, "my son can you tell me the road to
Galveston?" The boy replied, "you are
the second man that has called me his son
to-day wish l knew which of YOU
really is my dad ?" The gentleman
pleased with his wish, gave him quar-
ter, and was not little confused when the
chap said, ''I'll be dod durnerd il | don't
believe you must be my dad for you are
the only man that ever gave me a quar-
ter"
We will not make any applica ton
because it is lnotonous, that while Mr.
NoLAS's sympathies are supposed to be
with the Democracy, his character 70,
politicGI and moral honesty is abops sV.ypi-
eion.
Eyrhe time for slumber. or folding o.
the hands has passed away. The reveilIs
of political freedom is sounding, and every
Democrat must leap forth to duty.

The Chicago Times says:
The Coniederates oppressed as they are un-
der the despotism of JEFF. Davis, still preserve
some vestiges of freedom which have grown
obsolete in the Northern regions Of the United
States A Richmond paper OF the 2lst ult,
in its legal reports, furnishes the following
paragraph:
"Reuben Rider was discharged from mil
itary service, under a writ of habeas corpus,

This item furnishes us with two facts, First.
that the people of Dixie still have left them
the privilege of the great writ of freedom /;

those laws who would find no loop hole Of
