H Gov Ton has authority 10 raise

One or two companies might easily b,
raised In Gallis county. A grest many
applications have been made TO the mil.
itsry Committee Of Gsllia county, fol
authority torecruit oolored soldiers. Nc
doubt this will be given. This county
can furnish regiment Of as fine col.
ored troops as can be found in the State.
We believe ii will be done IL the right
Kind Of men be placed in command
The Committee should use the utmost
csution in selecting the officers, so q.

hands Of petty tyrants who have yet

places them on equal footing with white
troops as to clothing and rstions. arms.

brave soldiers they should be treated as
such.
To the colored men OF Gsllia county
we would say. the opportunity now Of.
fered you, is one Of the utmost i'm
portance to your race. An opportuni.
ty is afforded you to relieve yourselves
in a measure Of that degradation to
which a false sense Of justice or part Of
the white race has hitherto doomed you.
This was owing more to the bsneful in
fuence Of the slave.power.- than any
inherent natural prejudice. Your race
has groaned in anguish under the iron
rod Of the STAKEHOLDER. The letters are
at last broken. Your chains have fallen
of, not Of your own will OF power. but
through :he blind fatuity of your op-
pressors. The day Of retribution is at
hand. Strike whilst the opportunity
lasts. Show yourselves men, able and
willing to defend your rights TO the last
extremity. Fly to arms. not only to
protect your own firesides, but to give
freedom to your fellow men.
II BY remaining supinely at home,
taking DO part in this gigantic war for
the rights Of the human race, without
regard to color. you show yourselves
only fitted to be slaves, you must not
hereafter complain. II the white race
take you at your word. and suffer you
to fell back into that bondage from
which you might have escaped BY &

Of your country. Turn ont manfully,
and show to the world how false the

A Union Of Force.

No greater absurdity was ever announce
ed than that the Federal Union can be re.
stored 10y force OF arms. A Union held to-
gether by the bayonet is not worth pre-
serving. The conquest of the rebel States
may be achieved, but il cannot re-establish
that Union provided for by the Federal
Constitution Such was the conviction oil
all the best men Of the country prior to the
Inauguration OF this war; and a majority
Of the present leaders Of the Abolition par
tY were most emphatic in expressing the
same opinion. EDWARD EVERETT of Mas
sachusetts is now urging vigorous prose-
cution Of this cruel and unnecessary strug-
gle, and but few more blood thirsty letters
have appeared than his addressed to the
recent Abolition mass meeting at SPRING
field, Illinois. Yet, in 1860, when Mr..
EVERETT was a candidate for the Vice
Presidency, and when civil war was antic-
ipated as a consequence of LINcoLN's elcc-
ton, he used the following significant Lam
guage in his letter accepting the nomina-
ton on the john BELL ticket:
"fhe suggestion that the Union can be
maintained by the numerical predominance
and military prowess of one section, exerted
to ooerce the other into submission, is in
my judgment, as self.contradictory as it is
dangerous. 1t comes loaded with the death
smell from fields wet with brothers blood If
the vital principle of all republican govern
ment is the consent of the governed, much
more does a union of coequal sovereign
States require as its basis the harmony Of It's
members and their voluntary cooperation in
its organic functions"

General George w. Morgan,

We publish to-day the noble and pa
triotic letter of General GEORGE w. NOR
GAN to the Ohio Democratic State Central
Committee, and ask for it the attentive
perusal of our readers. General MORGAN
has taken the stump for VALLANDIGHAM
and Constitutional liberty, and will speak
as he has fought, bravely, truly and effec-
lively.
We ask the Abolition traducers of the
Democratic party to read General Nor
CAMS letter, and then forever cease their
vile charges Of traitor" and secession
ist." General MORGAN has taken the
stump, and is going to vote and work for
the election of VALLAND1GHAM and the
whole Democratic ticket. VIII any of
the Abolition stay-at-home lip-patriots
dare charge General GEORGE w. MORGAN,
the patriot and hero, with being "lrai-
tor or rebel sympathiser ? His sup
port Of the Democratic candidates gives at
once the lie to all the infamous and base
charges OF the loyal leaguers, patriots.
shoddy-contractors against the Democrat
ic party. General MoRGAN is a patriot,
and man of learning, and he tells you
the Democratic party is loyal enough for
him. Hencelorth, let the Abolition dis
unionists cease their ISLANDERS and forever
hide their guilty faces in shame. When
any one of them has rendered as much ser
vice, shown as much coura ge, and bra we'd
as many dangers in the field as General
MORGAN has done, they can justly lay
claim to some patriotism.

Lord Macaulay, in an essay on William
Pitt says Of England
"Ihe habeas co, pus act was suspended.
Public meetings were put under severe re-
strant, The government obtained from
Parliament power to send out of the country
aliens who were suspected of evil designs
and that power was not suffered to lie idle
Writers who propounded doctrines adverse
to monarchy were prescribed and punished
without mercy. 1t was hardly safe for a re-
publican to avow his political creed over his
beefsteak at chop-house. The old laws of
Scotland against sedition, laws which were
considered by Englshmen as barbarous and
which succession of governments had suffer

construction of the Constitution and a
faithful observance of the dividing line be-

trst message TO Congress, set forth in
clear and forcible language the importance
Of the State Governments as the surest
safeguards Of popular freedom, He said:
Nothing is clearer, in my view, than that
we are chiefly indebted for the success of the
Constitution, under which we are now acting.

too strongly, or too earnestly, for my own
sense OF ITS importance, warn you against all
encroaohments upon the legitimate sphere Of

Such is the Democratic faith to-day
and the principle above en- nciated by AN

Ohio, will be fatal blow at the legitimate
authority Of our State Government for

upon by the Federal Gov emment. Our
