Under the above head &c Mack" of the Gin
cinnati Commercial discourses of what he saw
at the Butternut meeting at Newark, as fol-
lows:
The Butternuts have a Penchant for mot
toes. During this campaign their favorites
seems to be, q Vallandigham and Pugh," "In
God we trust," Liberty of speech and lib
erty of the PRESS" " The Constitution as il
is, the Union as it was, and the nigger where
he is" "The Union forever, and down with
the Abolitionisis;" "No secession, and no abo-
Iiton;" No conscription and no coniscation;
No more free niggers in Ohio" Sometimes
they indulge in the poetics, and emblazon a
doggerel couplet on square ofcalico, like the
following:
g Pledged to the Constitution and the Laws,
No brlbe can seduce, tyrant ave.
Then they had also, ' Protect us from des-
potism and negro equality !" Despots your
time is short; we want no negro equality -
e Vallandigham's arguments unanswered and
unanswerable, hence his exile" One banner
had corpulent man, intended for Mr.. Brough
upon it, and the words, " am in favor of no
peace until lavery is exterminated root and
branch
All those are pardonabIe, and can only be
regarded as the effervescence of political pre-
judice, but at a few meetings, including that OF
/ to-day, young women have been made the
bearers of such notices as the following: eve
want white men for husbands, and won't have
niggers." These words were inscribed on a
robe worn by one of the fair sex to-day l

original sin, for should have been sorry to see
such an indelcate advertisement upon the
breast of one with any claims 10 beauty or
refinement. As it was, L thought she did
well to let the world know she wanted hus-

CHANGING to observe some ofthe multitudin-
Gus lies of this inexpressibly dirty sheet, edit
ed by Hubbard, the secesh candidate for State
Auditor, We will speak of one or two, that the
people may judge of the means these Copper
bead scoundrels employ to get into Office:
Firstly, be very gravely informs the people
that France has recognized the Southern Con
federacy and that the last hope of crushing the
rebellion has now vanished; and that if the
people will only elect Vallandigbam as Gov
ernor, and himself as State Auditor, that all
the Ohio troops will be recalled from the field
and the halcyOn days of peace once more
return.
Secondly, he would have the people of the
State think that John Brough has been seri-
ously importuned by the leaders of the Union
party to withdraw from the contest. If the
Union voters, as a class, were go extremely ig-
norant as both rank and file of the Copper
head party, half of whom go to their " basket
meetings firmly convinced that they are to
hear Douglas or Jackson speak, this bare-faced
lie might possibly have some effect; but as it
is, his endeavors TO thus lie himself into the
State Authorship will prove unavailing. Ev-
cry one will duly appreciate his motive-to ac-
complish by faIsehood what truth would fail to
do. But Hubbard need not entertain hope
that he will get even respectable minority at
the coming election; the people Of Ohio are
not so stupid, not so careless of their honor as
to place Hubbard, man who would shame
the devil, in the honorable position he aspir es
to. It would be as creditable to the people to
elect Sam Medary. We might give history
of Hubbard, but it would have to be CLEANED
from the ceFs-pools of corruption and villainy
and his biography, when completed, would
shame the face of many thief whose portrait
is exposed TO the public gaze in the Rogues
Gallery of New York City. But to say to
the peoply that he is editor of the 10
gan Gazette, paper which for decency aud
iruthfulness would compare unfavorably with
'Gullivers Travels" or the tales of Munchau.
sen,-a sheet notoriously dislOyal, immoral
and vulgar, is enough to convince any man
who ever read the above named paper, of the
character of its editor, and of how fitting he
would be to represent the honor of the State
as its Auditor.

Our Nsirhbor,s Last Chance.

During the last Gubernatorial campaign
when our neigbbor of the Standard wrote and
talked like a true Union man, fully alive to the
interests of his State and N alton, when he
boldly proclaimed against the disloyal posi-
on assumed by the so-caIled Democracy, he re-
marked in the course of a speech at Ashley, in
this county, "that if soldier fell on the bat,
tie field, be would go straight to heaven
This was, OF course, very liberal construc-
tion OF theology-perfec,ly generous in our
neighbor, though just for if there is a class OF
persons in existence that deserve happiness, ii
is our brave, selfsacrifcing soldiers. But in
his good word and W ok, our neighbOr was
very much like person we once heard of, who
joined the Presby terian church, and for time
was very Jealous in the good work; but ere

When questioned in regard to the matter, he
didn't meet with sufficient encouragement; he
thought the church ought, at least, to cousti-

man. For time, he was very jealous in the
cause, but the people didn't see fit TO send him
to the Legislature, and he "quit, /" and has turn
ed himself into as vile political tool as the
most arrant rascal could desire.
But, neighbor, there is possibly one chan ce

Throw aside your quill, shoulder your mus

you may yet reach that haven Of rest which
General Logan says is reserved for all brave
soldiers of the American Union.

Thnrlow Weed on the Destruction OF Sumter.
Fort Sumter, from whose walls the flag of
treason was first displayed. is smoudering
ruinl For this long leoked-for consumation
let rs give greatlul thanks-thanks, under
Providence, to our gallant army and navy,
thanks to General Gilmore and Commodore
Dahlgreu. It is fitting of that fortress Of re-
bellion that not one stone should be left rest
ing upon another. Its existence should be
blotted out. Nor, if the traitor chiefs who
hold Charleston, choose recklessly to expose
that CITY, after being admonished, should it be
spared. If Jerusalem siuued, and deserved its
fate, much more so does Charleston. With
Charleston and South Carolina, treason was
not an impulse. 1t did not "come in their way
to be stumbled over" 1t was deliberate
purpose. South Carolina was its birthplace
| Charleston its cradle. Treason wss the nor
NAL condition of South Carolina. Its teach
era went abroad through the Southern states
educating their people up to the point of re-
| bellion. At Charleston the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, that a pretext for rebel
| lion might exist, was demoralizad. And then
when all was ready, the overt act was perpe-
trated.
| Sonth Carolina and Charleston cannot,
however severe their chastisement, atone for
the overwhelming calsmities they have occa-
stoned. Portions of the State have already
been desoIated. Persistence in rebellion is
! likely TO occasion similar visitations through
out the State Be it so, if rebellion wills it,
| Wickedness so Internal, without mitigating
| circumstance or redeeming feature, calls for
| signal punishment.
The denunciatons of Buregard with the
protests of ofsympathiziDg consuls, against charg-
ing shells with Greek fire" is simply prepOs-
ferrous, and will excite scorn instead of sympa-
thy. Charleston has cost the nation too much
blood and treasure to justify our commanders
in being thus fooled. There is an easy way
"a way consistent with the rules of civilized
warfare-the step the shelling of Charleston.
But while we rejoice, as long as Charleston
holds out iu its rebellion, to see "Greek fire.
consuming it, and while we maintain no chas-
| tisement is too severe for South Carolina trea-
son, we hail, with peculiar and grateful joy
every manifestation of returning loyalty in the
South. Great ofenses, when purged, require
a large measure of forbearanee. So, to, in wars
great success enable confuerors to practice
even greater magnanimity. Indeed victory
implants in the mind and heart OF the victor
the sentiment of generosity-and the more
dearly purchased the more bounteous the senti
ment.
Let rebellion cease-let those who were be-
gull or forced into it return, either as indi
vi6uals, communities or States, to bring allie
giacce, and they will find the Government anC
the people animated by that noblest attribute
OF civilization and Christianity asking for
givness of our trespasses as we forgive thos
who trespass against US.

How They Do it.

The plan the Copperheads have to get peo-
pie to attend their meetings is shown by the
following notice which is taken from the Day
ton Empire:
"All persons from Dayton. wishing to attend
the Democratic Mass Meeting at Greenvile on
the 18th inst, will be carried up and return
FREE OF CHARGE. The train will leave Dayton
for Greenville at o'clock A. NJ, and return
ing leave GreenviIle at o'clock P. M
This explains how it is that there are SO
many more women and children than men at
the Butternut gatherings. They like to ri ie,
especially when it costs nothing.

A National salute of thirteen guns was fir

ANYTHING more about the procession, other than
that it was about ten miles 10 length and con-

The procession was, after Intellectual efforts
to get it past any one point, dismissed until
one O'Clock.
At two O'Clock, the citizens having parta-

Consistency.

We disl ike to meddle with things that do
not immed lately concern us, but occasionally
see some things going the rounds, that On the
ground of generalities, demand notice.
In the 18th Senatorial District, 81. T. Van
Fleet, of Marion, has been put in nomination
by the Copperhead Peace party as candidate
for State Senator. That traitor, Hubbard, of
the Logan Gazette, appeals to the people to
cast their votes for Van Fleet because he has
oeen in the army. Consistent reasoning, this
for Vallaudigham Peace men, who have assid-
uously abused the Governments for carrying on
this abolition war;" and every soldier who
has been engaSed in it have been characteriz-
ed as Lincoln hounds, &c., by these same
men who are now asking votes for Van Fleet,
because be CHANGED to serve for very short
time as second lieutenant in the 96th regiment
and when he resigned and returnec to Marion,
said that the "wer was unconstitutional-tha
it was an abolition war, and that he would
have nothing more to do with it." aud sine,
that time he has operated with the Vallaudig
hammers. Bear it 10 mind that Van Fleet il
or was, a partner Of Tom Holder, thu editor
of that traitorous sheet, the Marion Mirror, who
has continually urged his dupes to resist th'
Conseriptfon act, and who applied to the Mil
itary Committee for the captaincY of the same
company in which Van Fleet served as lieu
tenant, but happily for the reputation of the
army, failed 10 get the appointment.
Such is the consistency of the Copperheads
and we feel quite sure that the people of the
18th District will not be deceived by the mis-
representations of Hubbard, man who accor
ding TO Scripture, will have his final home il
regions of uncomfortable warmth.

War Democrats in Wi.oonain.

The action of the late Copperhead State
Convention in Wisconsin was too much for
the War Democrats, and the latter have issued
call for Convention, TO be held at James
vile on the 18th of September Referring to
the Copperhead Convention, the address says:
We have no comment to make upon the
ticket, but it is utterly impossible for War
Democrats to acquiesce in the pernicious doc
trines, the vindictive, jealous and languid pat
riotism displayed by this PLATFORM or to ap.
prove of its silence on the duties and necessi-
ties of the hour We connot sanction its her
estes, nor are we willing that the glorious par
ty of Jefferson aud Jackson, that party to
whose guidance the destinies of our county
have so often been safely confded should pass
into the control of this arrogant and dislOyal
faction. Under these circumstances the du-
ties and true position of the loyal Democracy
seem plain and clear, and that is TO take ac-
tion at once, to organize a real and sound
Democratic party, which shall be unhinching
in principle, loyal in practice, true and free in
Speech, and devoted to the Government, how
ever and by whomsoever administered; aginst
all foes, open or concealed, at home or abroad,
in the North or in the South.
The call is signed by over fifty of the strong
supporters OF the Democratic party, such as
NJ. H. Carpenter, Judge HubbelI, j E. Ar
mold formerly Democrtic candidate for Con
gress), Judge Macarthur, Bryon Kilbourn
Col q. Ii. Waller Zone of the pioneers o.
Wisconsin), o. Broadhead, Col. Robinson o.
the Green Bay Advocate, Col. Z. S. Bragg
and others equally well known.

Symptoms of poniton.s from the Time.


The London Times, in leading article on
the construction aud sale of war vessels for
belligerents, says:
1--WE have only to ask ourselves what our
feelings would have been, if while we were
blockading the Russian ports during the Cri-
mean war, some neutral State had furnished
the Russians with cruisers enough to close the
sea against our commerce or course we
should never have allowed them such a range
as the Alabama has enjoyed, but some day or
other even we, with our enormous navy, may
find our hands too full. 1t is not our inter
est to allow such precedent to be established
for the first time, if it does not exist already,
nor to counive at its extension, if it has any
existence.
Of all the doubt which the question con-
luins we ought to give ourselves the benefit,
and our interests, as it happens, coincide on
this occasion with the desires of the Federal
States. Still the Americans, whether of the
North or of the South, must be perfectly
aware that we can make no concession to men.
ace, and that. the laws OF England, whatever
they may be, are not to be changed at the
dictatiOn of q foreign State. We do MOI
think it morally right that ships like the Ala
bama should leave our ports for such service
as that on which they are engaged. We do
not wish to see any more Of them sail Oh the
like errnnd, though the Fe6erals have them
selves mainly to thank for the mischief which
these cruisers have been permitted TO work.
If the steam rams now building in the Mersey
are really destined for the Confederate Gov
ernment, we sincerely hope the law may be
strong enough to stop them"

Democrats. ConsidarI

We would like to have Democrats consider
the following which is probable and conss-
tent view of the case
Suppose you elect Mr.. Vallandigham, swear
him 10 support the Constitution of the State
and the Constitution Of the United States, and
to obey the laws, what then? The National
Government calls for troops to assist our forces
in the field, and Vallaudigham continuing the
course he begun in Congress, refuses. What
is the result? You bring on directly con-
fct between :he State and National Govern.
ment, and you have civil war inaugurated in
the North Therefore the man who votes for
Vallandigham votes for civil war in the North,
votes for bringing bloodsAed, and carnage, and
robbery, and arson, all the horrors of war to
bis own fires,de. Let every man remember
this. There can be no mistake about it. You
know what his sentiments are. You know
that he would not let single soldier go out
of the State to ass st the General Government
in putting down treason. And how can you
consistently with duty to yourselves, do any
thing less for your country at this lime than
vote against him.
