A Confederate Spy making "Un-
3tOn Speeches iu Ohio. e---
{, Under this head, an article is going
the round Of the Abolition papers, in
which it is stated that "a young man
from New York City, travelling on
business recently, Id Ohio. attended .
Union mass meeting held in one of
the large cities of this State, and
among the speakers recognized, in the
most ardent of them all, an English
man who had formerly been his teach
er in one of the ward schools of upper
New York. At the close of the
speech the young man approached his
former friend, calling him -byHhis' 'old
name. The name was disclaimed by
the union orator, and = all acquain-
tance With the young man denied. -
But the New Yorker could not be sha-
ken off so easily, and pressed his in
quiries until he succeeded in making
himself feared, if not recognized, by
the Union speaker, The latter
finally winked at him to- go with him
from tbGb ground, and asked him ifhe
coull'keep'a secret. 80 '.j7r s,J .t'.o.az
Upon his answering afRrmatively,
the orator took the young man to his
room at'the hotel, again exhorted his
secrecy upon honor, and, first, taking
apistol to guard against surprise, as
we'll as to frighten his visitor, acknowI-
edged himself to be Confederate spy
in disguise, showed his uniform and
also commission as recruiting Off
Ger. in the rebel service. >, His press
ing business at the time Of meeting
his former pupil was to carry dis
patches to Canada and England, which
mission he haf probably by this time
safely succeeded in accomplishing" w
Thus, while the Abolition papers
are stigmatizing and denouncing the
Democracy as TRAITORS" +" cooper
heads, i'sbu4ternuts," and "rebel,
sympathizers," Abolition committees
are putting forward rebel spy to- ad-
vocate their cause before the people,
and to persuade them, if possible, to
vote the Brough ticket! We leave
the reader to make his own comments.
sf THAD.STEyENT AND HIS PROPHEsY,
--Thad. Stevens, Of Pennsylvania,
was the well known and recognized
leader of the Administration or Abo-
lition party in the House of Repre-
sentatives of the last Congress. The
near approach of the rebel army to
Mr.. Stevens homestead in Lancaster
county recalls to the World a speech
he made in the House in January,
1862, in which he uttered the follow
ing prophesy: y r|...g
The South car never be reduced TO
exhaustion so long as this war is con-
Quoted upon its present principle-so
long as they are left the means of
cultivating their fields through forced
labor. - = Although the black
man never lifted a weapon, he is really
the mainstay of the rebellion. To
end the war successfully, the slaves
must be made our allies. Universal
emancipation would end the war in six
months 1t could not be maintained
even if the liberated slaves did not
raise hand against their masters
Unconditional submission would be the
immediate and necessary result.
1t is curious to note that it is now
six months since the emancipation
proclamation was issued;y yet the re-
bellion, instead of being crushed by it,
is brought to Mr. Stevens own doors.
