Law and Order Meeting in Front Of
the Court House at 2 o'clock P. M,
this Day.

BY reference TO the notice Of the Democratic
Central committee, to be found elsewhere In
this paper, II will be seen that the meeting
hitherto called for this evening, at the City
Hall, has been changed as to time and place,
and the same will be held this afternoon at two
O'Clock, in front of the Court House
The occasion which has induced this meeting,
should gather to II every friend Of law and Or
der within the limits of the city and the ada
cent country The time has come when men
must take their stand The time when the
question is to be settled whether the constitu
tional rights Of the citizens are to be main
tanned, or Mob Law and Despotism are to pre-
vail, is at hand. From 1t we cannot escape,
and, therefore, NO must meet it.
The Democratic party ia the friend of Law
and Order, and holds that under the Constitu-
tion and Laws, every remedy for the protection
Of life. liberty and property is guaranteed. and
equally under vhe same Constitution and Laws,
ample provision is made for the punishment Of
ofenseh and crimes of all kinds. Its
members demand the protection of Law
for themselves, conceding the came right to
those who may differ with them on measures Of
policy, whether Of war or peace. But their
opponents have held, through their presses and
by their orators, that in these times the cons,i-
tutional rights Of Democrats must be abridged
and that violence and Mob Law shall take the
place of judicial tribunals and courts Of justice
On Thursday evening last, the first disorder
was manifested 10 this city by 40 attempt to
destroy the Crisis and the STArEsMAS This
attempt was melted by the incessant efforts Of
the Abolition papers and orators who constantly
endeavor to inaame the people and lead them
to acts Of violence, and It should and must be
the last. The meeting to-day should not fail
to speak plainly and pointedly on this question.
No more violence Of this character must be al
lowed, and our opponents must be made to dis
tinctIy understand this and If the laws Of the land
are insufficient to shield Democrats, they must
adopt such means as will be sufficient and eff
fective for that purpose. Democrats are for
order. and will 60 ss far as the farthest to
maintain il: but they must be met iD the same
spirit by their opponents. If not, and a differ
ent measure Is meted out to them, they must
maintain and vindlcate their rights as best they
can.
1t is not our province to speak for the meet
ing Of to day. We assume as fact, however,
that while it will do nothing TO instigste viO-
lenoe; while il will inculcste obedience to law
in all things, as the rule of conduct for its
members, Il will at the same time let it be dis
tinclly understood, that no injustice, wrong, or
injury to the persons and propesty of members
OF the Democratic party will be hereafter toll
Grated.

The Journal Of Commerce, in an article on
the 4th of March, 1863 day which marked
the close Of the first two years of Republican
Administration, and the expiration of Con-
gress, whose entire history is of the most ex.
traordinary character, and whose legislation has
been Of character hitherto unknown in tho
land OF Washington, says:

" The Crisis OFFICE MoBBED. D.--Sam. Medary 3
editorial rooms in the Crisis building were COM
pletely CLEANED out" by mob of soldiers last
night amounting to two hundred in number.
The destruction Of windows, doors, stoves, files,
shelves, books, etc., was complete. A violent
storm Of snow at the time gave lively coloring
to the scene. Medary had gone TO Cincinnati
on the noon train yesterday. The gang OF SOL
diers crept softly along on the snow till they
came to the Office, which is situated on the cor
ner of High and Gay streets. They circed
around the door with fixed bayonets and de-
clsred death on the man that interrupted. The
doors were first stove in and then the windows,
after which the vile files of corruption and
treason were sent by thousands into the streets.
The ground for many rods around was loaded
with the contents of the Office. The crowd vas
disappointed at not finding any type, not know
ing that the composition and press work on The
paper were done at the office of the State Printer,
Richard Nevins.

The Late So.Called "Union Meetings.
What They Really We're.


The Ashtsbula Sentinel is we'll known as the
organ of JOSHUA R. GIpDrNes, and as one of the
most radical Abolition sheets in Ohio. 1t has
the rare merit Of being generally outspoken
and frank, while many of itS co laborers in tho
same field play the bypocrite and conceal theif
real revolutionary designs under the mask Of d
pretended patriotism.
The editor of the Sentinel, in the last num-
Der of his paper, appears to be well satisfied
with the so-called "Union meetings" recently
held in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and
elsewhere. True, they did not quite come up,
demonstrstIvely and enthusiastically, to the
highest point Of revolutionary "high pressure"
radicalism; but still the Sentinel man thinks
they will do The speeches and resolutions
being "unqualifedly for the support of the
Government 1.-THE Administration and ALL"
(there is o world of meaning in that little word
aI), the public expression at these so.called
Union meetings, the SentinsI ssys, "in every
way was in such course of policy as RepubIi-
can meetings at this period would adopt" 1t
bears testimony to the fact, whichsno candid
man will dispute, that the name "Union," as
used in getting up these meetings, was only
trick or play upon the word, and that the meet.
ings were really Republican or Abolition under
another name. The Sentinel says:
Under the name Of Union meetings, all was
said and done that would probably be done at
Republican meetings of general character.
The Sentinel sees indications of pretty de-
cidei tendency to the organization of party
under the name of Union party, "upon basis"
as it says, mot differing much from that upon
which the Republicans would like to re-organize
more than the name--which of course" the
Sentinel adds, "is a matter of minor impor-
tance." It is not disposed to fall out about the
name, 60 that the Republican or Abolition policy
is retained, and this, it Is Satisfied, will be done
in the new Union party now under process Of
reformation. After stating the position of the
Abolitionists as being on the side Of the Ad-
minIstration in its Abolition policy, and that
this policy must be carried out, the Sentinsl
closes its article thus:
In such position 10 ia not material by what
name we are called. We should prefer the term
Republican; but IL "Union" is made to mean
the same thing, we shall not quarrel about it,
with any one.
tits curious phenomenon in language that an
attempt should be made to palm off the word
Union" to mean the same thing as Abolition" !"
which ID in reality its direct opposite. Bat any
thing for mask to conceal vIssgs so disgust
ing "as to be hated needs but to be seen." Let
II be borne in mind BY the reader that, by Abo.
lltion testimony which none.of the Administra-
ticn journals dare impeach, this "Union party"
is nothing moro or less than Republican or Alb
olition party under another name. Fine fellows
they, who 60 into this Union party "falsely 60
called" and swagger about being no politicians
or party men!

citizens, you have become their assailants.
But desire you to recollect that II is not in
sdmonitions that the rules and regulations Of
the service deal with rioters cpd plunderers.
II will be seen by paragraph 7s7 Of the Regu-

been guilty is, in the language Of the Regula-

admit of no remission Of the awful punishment
which the military law awards against offensea

An Overwhelming Impromptu Demon
stratiOn.

Gov. MEDARY was absent from home on
Thursday night, when the outrageous assault
was made upon bis office, having visited Gin
cnnati that day to be present at surgical
operation to be performed on one of his grand
children. Last evening, ust before dark, it was
ascertaiued that he would return home in the
nine and half P. m, train. Immediately
many Democrats of the city determined to meet
him at the depo. and escort him to his resi-
dence; and for that purpose several hundred,
accompanied by HEMmERsBIcH's band, carry
ing the Fifth Ward banner, departed in that
direction about half past eight o'clock, From
this indication and no other notice, the news
ran, and as 1t was received, the people took up
the line OF march, aud thus the crowd increas-
ed at the depot, until by the time the train ar
rived, there we're Thousands on hand.
The Governor was taken from the cars by the
people and borne on their shoulders to car
risge in waiting, from which the horses we're
disepgaged, aud he was hauled by che populace,
preceded By the band and followed by an i'm.
mense procession up High street to the Ameri-
can, where Judge THURMAN welcomed him home
In neat and very appropriate speech. In ref
erence to the occurrence which brought out the
demonstration and in treating the subject
throughout, Judge THURMAN was exceedingly
distinct, clear and happy, and all that he said
was we'll received by the vast audience
Gov. MEDARY in responding was very much
affected and indeed embarrassed, by the uuex-
pected and extraordinary demonstration, aud
spoke with much feeling. His remarks were
well received and were very appropriate. OF
all the numerous speeches we have heard Gov.
Medary make, his brief speech last evening
was the most pertinent and appropriate
At the close of Gov MEDARY's speech, other
gentlemen were called, aud among them Hon.
MILTON SAYLER, who responded in very happy
manner
We we're not in position to take notes, and
hence ore not prepared to give any extended
abstract Of the several speeches, and indeed
our space tonight would not admit Of it, were
we otherwise prepared
The mass Of men at that meeting was noble
spectacle. It was composed of patriot citizens
who were indignant at the outrage, and who
came together to bear their testimony against
1t. 1t was composed Of firm and true men
lovers Of the Union and law abiding citzens,
who are not disposed to trample on the rights
Of others, and are determined TO maintain and
defend their own.

Glorious News from New York
TIE CITIES AND LARGE TOWNS ALL GOING
DEMOCRATIC BY DECISIVE MAJoRITIBs.
THE DEMoCRATrc BALL ROLLING ON


[From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
We find the following telegrsphic dispatches
in the New York Tribune Of the 4th. They
are highly important as indicating the great
changes of public opinion now in progress.
The fact that five large cities and towns In the
interior of New York, cities which usually 60
against the Democracy, should now go for
them, tells story that all can understand
Oswego, last fall, gave 100 majority against
Seymour. Now it is 100 for us. Rochester
was 600 against us; now 600 for US. Lockport
was against us; it is now for us. The msjor-
ities ia Troy and Utica are greatly increased:

The Mcdowell Court of Inquiry.

A Washington dispatch dated March 5tb,
says:
The Mcdowell Court OF Inquiry report .is
just made public. The Court scquits him of
blame in all particulars; except his having gone
to Manassas on the afternoon or evening OF the
18th of August, to confer with Gen Pope, on
an appeal of the latter for his views, whilst bis
command was on the march on Centerville. It
is mentioned that Gen. Pope, McDowell's su-
perior, did not censure him for this OF this,
the Court says that the separation was incon-
siderate and unauthorized, but was not induced
by any unworthy motive. The charge of dis
loyalty made by an officer of the rank of Colo
pel, after being fatally wounded in battle, in
general terms, without defining any specific act,
is fully disproved by ell the evidence bearing
on the point. The Court denounces the charge
Of drunkenness against General Mcdowell, as
ridiculous. air~

THE OHIO LEGIsLATURE,

In the SENATE, on Friday morning, March
9Th, the discussion on the Welsh resolutions
was resumed, and continued till noon, when that
body adjourned until Tuesday, March lOth.
Judge Lang made an able and powerful speech
In opposition to the policy Of the Administra-
tion. His allusion to the mob violence in this
city, on Thursday night, as being the direct re-
suit Of the teaching of the speakers at the 30
called "Union" meeting Of the Sd inst, was
most scathing and scorching. Tho Judge will
have something more to say before the close Of
the discussion.
In the HOUSE, after prayer by the Rev. Mr..
Goodwin, the committee on Public Printing re-
ported back the communication of John Geary
and Son, declining to publish the official proceed
ings Of the Legislature without pay. II was
laid on the table, the committee not having
made o Recommendation as to the matter
Mr.. Zinn, from the committee on Federal Rela-
tions, reported back the petition of citizens OF
Dsrke county, praying for an armistice-with
resolution, That an armistioe is inexpedient,
and that the war should be prosecuted until the
rebellion is put down. Mr.. Flagg offered the
following joint resolution as a substitute for
the committee's resolution;
Resolued, By the General Assembly ofthe State
OF Ohio, That we will nave no dissolution of
the Union-that we will have no srmstice--
that we can fight as long as rebels and traitors
can--that the war shall 60 on until law is re-
stored-and we will never despair of the Re-
public.
The House, at noon, adjourned without dis.
posing of the resolution-until Tuesday, March
10th.
