but we are sure that such efforts as that at
the Opera House will effect nothing to-
wards the great object desired by all good
people. We believe that il Che nltta war
men North and South were superseded,
the fighting would soon cease spirit d
compromise would pervade the people
representatives from the opposing sections
would meet and reason together, and re-
construction upon abasis satisfactory alike
to the whole country would reasonably
follow. This win, we fesf never oscqr
while the fanatics have control North oil
South. Peace would scatter them to the
winds, and The Peoplelwhen reason re-
placed passion-would gladly welcome
the old order Of thipgslfit4ft HaaIil
But let us have no more Opera House

sought TO be inAamed, but where there is
no practical response. If men honestly

the Union, they should quit talking. and
take up arms. War talk has "played
out''--to use an expression which has
more significance than elegance--and COM
munity do not feel like tolerating such
performances any longer. A call for a
"War Meeting" is now the signal for a
gathering of all who do not want to go TO
war, and who will not, under any circnm-
stances, take up guns and fight. We ap-
peal to our readers Of all parties if this is
not fair Characterization of the g0ther-
ings now being held to enthuse the people,
and get them up to fighting heat. The
enforcement Of the Conseriptiop Act will
doubtless soon prick many of these blad-
ders-these movers Of proconcerted ar
rangement to retain political power at the
spring election, and for along period there
after. We respect all who differ hon.
estly with us about the best means Of re-
storing the Union, but we have the most
utter contempt for the political seoundrels
who would accomplish their own and par
ty ends should they destroy the Govern
ment.

1t is stated by parties who We're present
at the War Meeting in Pixies Opera
House, Cincinnati, on Monday evening
last, that the larger portion Of the audi
ence was comprised of respectable looking
gentlemen with grey hair, and promising
youths who were not yet eligible to the
requirements of the Conscription Act,
The consequence was, that though nearly
all present wea in favor of "vigorous
prosecution of the wal" none volunteered;
thereby declaring by acts, which speak
louder than all The applauding shouts that
went up in the Opera House on the occa-
sion, that they desired its prosecution by
others who are more vigorous in their de-
sire to hight No effort was made to enlist
volunteers. 1t would probably have ere
ated embarrassment, and would have
given rise to invidious distinctions, and
unpleasant recriminations, destroying the
harmony which prevailed.
About eight hundred persons signed the
Call" for the Opera House Meeting
Some of them are supposed to know what
was the purpose of the paper to which they
appended their names. The document
states that We are united in our deter
mination to suppress this most groundless
and wicked rebellion, at all hazzard, and
at any cost and to restore the Union, and
maintain our Government and institutions
in their integrity" This they declare eau
only be accomplished by fighting. Now,
how many OF these eight hundred pro-
pose to take up arms, go into The ranks,
and assist in compelling the rebellious
States to return to their allegiance? WIN
any of them do SO /?
We love the Union as sincerely as the
most ardent patriot who, from the purest
motives, attended the Opera House Meet
ing we love il far better than the political
charlatans who made boast of their great
love of country before the multitude, but
who would not back it by entering the SER
vice to bear its fatignes and share its priya-
tions and perils. And we are honest in the
declaration that, did we believe the Union
could be reconstructed as OF old, and our
Government and all our institutions main
tanned in their integrity BY fighting, we
would enlist at once, and assist in the great,
and-though bloody-the glorious work
We would scorn to blather in everybody

IN reference to the manner in which the sol

lfcan, in noticing the case, says:
"The examination of Monday last disclosed
some queer evidence. One witness testified
that out of twenty-one soldiers who voted in
Company X, fthe Seventeenth Regiment, only
two enlisted ia ST. Louis, the others being
residents OF Iowa, Ohio and other States.
The witness himself who was one Of the two

A Lecture on "the Bible as Literary
Work" BY G. l.. Pdildndi9ham before the
Catholic Institute at baltimore Suppress
ed through Gen r. c. Schenck
We clip the following account in full of
this extraordinary performance in the part
of Gen. ScHENok from the Baltimore Dai-
ly Gazette of February 2lst. 1t will be
seen that Gen. SCHENcK refused to as
sume the direct responsibility of suppress
ing the lecture of Mr.. VALLANDlGHAM, al
though he sent third party to Archbish-
on kEERIcK to say "that the appearance
OF Mr. VALLANDIGHAM on the occasion re-
fered to "aCoaid cause TiOt," and when
applied to by the Board of Directors of
the Catholic Institute 10 take measures to
preserve the peace in case the lecture
should be made, refused to do so. We
have therefore said that this lecture was
suppressed through r. g. ScHENcK.though
be dared not take the responsibility of do
ing it in terms.
We trust no lower depth of humiliation
is reserved Tor Baltimore or any other
American city than so gross and palpable
an outrage as this, upon the constitutional
right of free speech" SO base an ac-
acknowledgement of the ascendancy of mob
law over the constitution and the cause
of public order has never been officially
made before by any American officer civil
or military, within our knowledge.
What low degree Of Generalization
must the once proud spirit of ROBERT @.
SeHENcK have reached. to have stopped
to an act like this-refased. with unlim-
tied power in his hands, to protect a fell
low citizen in the exercise of peaceful
constitutional right, from the fear of a
RIOT How noble, magnanimous, and
just would have been his conduct, had he
said" Yes, gentlemen, the lecture. you
desire to hear shall be delivered, though
every bayonet / command should be
stained with the blood of the rioters -
That would have been an answer worthy
