Judicial Opinion.

Several towns in the State of Maine
having voted to appropriate money as
commutation for drafted citizens, the fol-.
lowing questions were submitted by the
Governor of the State to Judges of the
Supreme Court:
l. Has city or town any legal right
to pledge its credit to raise money for
the purpose of paying the combinations
of such Of its citizens as may be drafted
into the service of the United States un-
der the law aforesaid?
2. Has city or town any legal right
to raise money by taxation to provide
communities for such of its citizens as
may be thus drafted?
The Judge decided that money could
be raised to co. operate aOith The Govern
ment, but not otherwise. They answer
both question, in the negative.

Making War for the Abolition
of Slavery.

Speaking of the class of mcn, who
like John Brough, say that there must
lie no peace till slavery is destroyed,
"root and branch" the Journal of Com
merce concludes an article as follows:
Some men say "now that the war is
commenced it must not be stopped an.
til slaveholding is abolished" Such
men are neither more nor less than mur.
derers. The name seems severe; il is
nevertheless correct. Would it have
been justifable for the Northern States
to commence O war on the Southern
States for the sole purpose of aboiShing
slavery in them ? No it would have
been murder to commence such a war.
BY what reasoning, then, does it become
less murder to divert war commenced
for other purposes to that object. How
can it be any less criminal to prolong a
war commenced for the assertion of Gov.
ernment power, into war for the sup
preston of slavery, which it is agreed
would have been unjustiiable and sinful
if begun for that purpose? If there was
a possibility of peace and the restoration
of power of The Government, and in,
stead of making peace men should say,
mo, we will have no peace till VIC have
destroyed slavery" anu should continue
the war, the men thus doing would be
precisely as guilty as if they had COM
menced the war for that very purpose
only.
We are not talking about the inciden-
tal effect of war on slaves or slavery. -
But we speak Of the proposal of some
men to make abolition condition of
peace. No right exists to add one OBJ
ject to that for which the war began, and
the blood of our brave men who should
be sent into a war prolonged for such
purposes would rest with fearful stain on
the men who prevented peace.

Important from New Orleans.-

The news from New Orleans is of the

greatest joy and enthusiasm among the
people. Another steamer called the

at Port Hudson, and she reports numer-
GUS vessels as preparing for the resump.

A Clergyman Resisting the BRA r

A "New England Clergyman" says
in down East paper:
"If it be true that they are exempt by
laws of God, it cannot gain the favor of
the God Of battles Q!D to force His EN-
bassadors into the ranks of the army"
If this New England clergyman is an
ambassador of the God Of Battles, his
place is in the front rank of the army,
where else should the servant of God
of Battles be? But, if, on the other
hand, he was q servant or ambassador of
the Prince of Peace of that God who
is Love-then very clearly, he ought
not to join the army, and above all, he
should lift up his voice against all strife
and bloodshed.
In declaring himself an ambassador of
Moloch, the God of battles, he has pro-
nouuced sentence against himself. lie

if drafted, he will doubtless prove as

From the o. s. Journal,
COlOnels BartiIsOn, Mueller and
HiIdt,

EDITOR JOURNAL Among the many
distinguished sons of Ohio now in the
service, none exceeds in gallantry and
skill the accomplished Colonel Bartil.
son, of the Eightieth. Nature has been
peculiarly favorable to him; he has a
very striking physiognomy, tall in figure,
frank and manly in all his attitudes and
movements. His manners are exceed.
ingly genial and natural, and have a
character of kindliness, as we'll as of
self-relianee imprinted on them. His
talents, as an orator, are of very high
order AT the outbreak of this terrible
rebellion, he was in the enjoyment of a
lucrative law practice; this he gladly
relinquiShed, enlisting as a private; he
subsequently recraited the first COMPANY
for the gallant Fifty.frSt. He was trans.
ferred from this regiment, and commits.
stoned to organize the regiment of which
he is now Colonel. Mr.. Bartilson's voice.
like the blast of a bugle horn, awoke the
slumbering masses, and in few weeks
another regiment was added to the grand
army of the Union. His speeches de.
livered in churches and school houses
were brimful of heroic chivalry, burning
indignation, and patriotic confidence.
No more eloquent or animating exhorta.
tions were ever addressed to men arm.
ing for their country. He knew that
we had land to defend, unhabituated
to shame, and hitherto unknown to con.
quest; that we had to defend the hon.
orS of ancient days, and the splendor of
present greatness that we had to de-
fend that Constitution which has pour.
ed the prosperities of nature over a bar.
ren land, and given to our western world I
a grandeur unknown to the regions of
the sun. With the martial spirit of his
old race, he longed for the opportunity
of using his trenchant sword, and never
did young knight of old sigh more for
the day he should win his spurs, than
did the chivalrous Bartilson dream of
the day of struggle and triumph. That
day at length came at the sanguinary
battle of Coriuth, where he received bis
first wound, since which he has been in
all the battles of the Southwest After
the surrender of Vicksburg he returned
home, shattered in health, a mere shad.

regiment and the nation should be de.
prived of his brilliant services. This
grand old county of Tuscarawas has

Soldiers Who Vote for ValIan-
dighamrtO be Tied up for 80
Days.
LOUISVILLE, O., July 90, '63.

LOUISVILLE, O., July 90, '63.
S. GREsLNGER, Esq.-Dear SIR: 1
learn from the last weeks Chronicle, that
some "young Copperhead" was present
at the Great (i) Mass Meeting of July
IL in Belmont, and after hearing the
speech of Col. Poorman, asserted that
he (Poorman) declared in said speech
that if any one in his Company should
vote for Vallandigham he would tie him
up for thirty days.
Now, l do not know who that young
COpperhad was, nor do l care. But l
would just say for the benefit of the
Chronicle, which seems to be annoyed,
and all others concerned, that 1 was
present at the meeting and heard the
greater part of Poorman's speech. In
the course of his remarks he said "That
the soldiers had a right to vote now;"
that "if the people at home but do their
duty, their ticket, assisted by the vote
of soldiers would be selected by an over
whelming majority" &c. He also said
that the soldiers would not vote for Val
landigham,-that he was acquainted
with Col. Payne, of an Ohio Regiment;
Il forget the No. Of the Regiment al>
though Mr.. Poorman told usD and that
he heard him say that if there was o man
in his (Payne's) Regiment that dared
to vote for Vallandigham he would tie
him up for thirty days. He spoke of
Col. Payne particularly that said this.
Such is fact Such is what | have
been telling around over the country,
and even if the Chronicle does think my
"chance for the Kingdom to come is cut
Slim," l will tell it to the ends of the
earth; because l heard it and am not
mistaken, think it a great right, in.
deed, if they have to vote the ticket the
officers prepare for them or else not vote
at all under fear of punishment, 1t is
really no right at all to vote. There
were many other features of that con.
vention l would like to tell you about
but will desist for the present.

Here, then, we have johnny Brough
changing his views" back to the doc.
trines of Mr.. Bingham-both opposed
to letting this Union be restored, if sla.
very continues. Is not that as plain as
the nose on your face
Well, now, apply the remarks of the
TuScarawas Advocate on Bingham's
ideas to Brough'S ideas, and you will
have no alternative but to kill Brough as
you did Bingham last fall.
The editor Of the Advocate, on the
7th of Feb, 1852, gave the best of rea.
sons why no true Union man ought to
support Mr.. Bingham. He then wrote
of Bingham in the following positive
terms:
W@" He (Bingbam) is in favor of
unconditional emancipation-he believes
that this war should be turned into an
abolition crusade against slavery, instead
of carrying it on merely to maintain the
laws and the constitution of our common
country. The position of Mr.. Bingham
is in opposition to the Chicago platform
Ito the policy Of President lincoln
to the resolutions adopted by Congress,
and to the declaration Of the Union Con
vention Of Ohio. If the policy of Mr..
Bingham should be adopted, we would
have o united South against o divided
North. To turn four millions Of negroes
upon the country with their uncultivated
minds; they would soon glut our jais
and poor houses. A large majority Of
them would have to be kept at the pub.
lie expense. One year ago the House oil
Representatives in Congress unanimous
ly adopted the following resolution
"That neither the Congress of the United States
"nor people or governments Of the non-saVe-
"holding States, have the Constitutional right
ito legislate upon, or interfere with, slavery
in any of the States of the Union"
Having thus pinned John Brough to
John A. Bingham's coat.tail, as a man
utterly opposed to restoring the old Uni.
on, we turn him over to the people to
bury, as they did Bingham, without ben
eft Of the clergy.
