GAN ANGLO REBEL SQUADRoN-IooK
OUT FOR OUR SEAPoRTs. The New Y
Herald, under the above heading, blows
a loud blast Of alarm, and says:
1t will be seen by our Liverpool cove-
spondencc that the construction Of forniit-
able iron rams for the rebel service is has
tily progressing in Liverpool and Glas-
gov, ard that three. at least, OF these
dangerous crafts are nearly ready to be
launched. and by the month Of Septem-
Der may be off our coasts. Two Of these
vessels are being built in Liverpool by
Mr.. Laird. anG will probably be launched
very soop. They are two hundred and
fifty feet long. forty-tvo feet beam, and
eighteen feet deep, drawing fifteen feet Of
water when ready for service, and will
have immense speed They are built of
iror, with teak wood backing, and have
ten-inch arnUr, made Of plates four and a
half inches thick Their rams project
eight feet from the bow, and they carry
two ;urrets-a pretty formidable display
Of qualities, il must be admitted The
vessel built in Glasgow, and launched by
this time probably, i oI the same propoT-
tinns, and has projecting horn or ram
under the water line four and half feet
long
these important and alarming facts
should nos BE- overlooked. They show how
persistentiy and boldly England is giving
all aud comfort tO tie rebeIlious States.
Probably the recent decision of the Lord
Chief baron of England id the Alexaadre
case was designed to cover tile future ope-
raii0ue at these uew rams. The Govern

secrnt ancieties.

The LEADKE Of Friday challenged the
Herald to show a single article from its
files between the summer of 1854 and the
autumn Of 1856, in which it denounced
the Know Nothing order, and also charged
that the Herald supported the Know Moth
ing State and city tickets. The Herald Of
Saturday says that it never knowingly sup
ported Know Nothing ticket but may
have been deceived into doing SO. This is
but shallow and contemplate plea, the
utter worthlessness Of which is found in the
fact that the Herald does not, and cannot
deny the following charge, made in the
LEADER Of Saturday morning;
ave may add to that challenge, the
statement that not only did the Herald moi
oppose that movement during that time
viz: A. VI. Fairbanks and the late W. J
May, vere themsslUss members Of the Know
Nothing order. The chronic inconsisten.
cy Of the Herald is we'll exhibited in its
present reputation of what it then favored
and forwarded; especially IS the same per
sons are now connected with that paper as
editors and proprietOrs, as at that time
viz: A. ". Fairbanks, and George A. Bene,
dict"
The Herald speaks Of the Know Nothing
tickets as the "LEADER ticket" 1t hap.
pens that the LEADER oppoSsd the city
ticket to which it refers. So that evasion
comes to grief.

Something rather interesting may be
expected from Hon. H. B. Payne on Tues
day evening, it being announced that that
gentleman will, st that time, meet the De-
mOcracy and give history of the proceed
ings Of the Committee on Resolutions at
the State Convention, Of which Committee
he was a member, and from whose report
the Plsin Dealer says he aisssnted. We
hope, for the sake of the gentleman's honor
and reputation, that this assertion is true.
1t is a credit to any man to dissent from
such platform as was there adopted. If
Mr.. Payne will give faithful and full ac-
count Of the proceedings aforesaid, the
revelation will, no doubt, be readable
one, and we will endeavOr to give our read
ers a sketch of it, for present entertain
ment and future use.

The holding Of the State Convention at
Columbus, on Wednesday, will be made the
occasion Of holding a grand Union Mass
Meeting, to which the patriots Of the whole
State are invited. This invitation should
be responded to by such a vast crowd as has
not been gathered in the State Capital for
years. On Thursday last the Democrats
and Copperheads assembled by thousands
at the time Of their State Convention let
it be shown on Wednesday next that there
are twice as many Union-loVing citizens
Of Ohio, who are willing to thus meet to
take council together, as there are Of the
former class. Cuyshoga should send del
egation numbering hundreds, and every
other County in like proportion. The rail-
roads will carry at half fare, and ahOst of
distinguished speakers will be in attend
apce to address the multitude. Let the
gathering be one that will be an honor to
the Buckeye State, tho third in the glorious
Union that is now sssailed by rebels at the
South and Copperhesds at the North.

TIE LEADER asked the Plain Dealer
where it was going to stand in the present
contest. That paper answers in the ster-
eotyped phrases Of the Democracy as to
free speech" "Outrages of the Admins
traitor" its anarchical policy" &C., by
which we are to understand that it has
sold itself to tOVsllsndigham and his fortunes
It will advocate the election of the man
who was driven from the camp of the 1st
Ohio, as the bitterest enemy the soldier
had; the man who boasts that he never
voted for q man or dollar to carry on the
war; who is in favor Of peace with
rebels in arms; who is now being praised
and fsted as a distinguished eo-wOrker, by
the rebels; the man who has done more to
disturb public sentiment and create dis
sensiOn in the North than any other. This
is the man the Plain Dealer will support
and urge upon the soldiers and their
friends at home as the fit person to whom
the interests Of the State should be commit
ted. 1t is well for all 10 understand this
fact
