lit isof the utmost importance that the peo-
PIE of Ohio should respond with the greatest
alacrity to the call of the President for troops
from this State. The enemy is now threat
ening our Northern cities with large force
The vital necessity ofpromptly meeting and dri-
wing him back must be felt by every man. The
sudden call of last year which resulted in such
an immense loss of time, labor and money, the
stoppage of all business transactions, and the
risk of serious disaster should be remembered.
The recurrence of that excitement can be
avoided now by the prompt efforts of the peo-
pie in aid of the Presidents call and the i'm
mediate organization of well disciplined
force feel confident that the people cf
Ohio have only to know the necessity for this
call to insure an instant and hearty response.

cry effort to meet and repelthe threatened dam
ger. A. E. BURNSIDE
Major General.
This appeal of Gen. Burnside must be
promptly responded to or our State is certain
to be invaded. Allow me to recommend that
all places of business be closed at three o'clock
P. M. of each day for the coming week, and
that every loyal man devote himself to the
noble work of raising troops to save our State
from invasion. The camps of rendezvous
heretofore designated by me are in complete
readiness to receive all who may wish to re-
spond to this call. If the enemy know that
we are prepared to give them warm recep-
ton they may not attempt to invade us, but, if
we remain destitute of force to meet them,
they are certain to do so. Rally then for the
protection of our fre-sides so sacred and dear
to all.

Editor Democrat F:

EultoT btulocIus
In looking over one of the late numbers of
your paper, which had found its way this be-
nighted region, saw notice of so-called
Democratic meeting held in the Town Hall
of Ravenna. In ordinary times this circum-
stance would not have attracted my particular
attention, but at time like this, when the
best energies of every man is required to save
the Nations life, was good deal surprised
to see any portion of the people of Old Por-
tage so lost to honor and self-respect, as to
endorse and countenance some of the
principles that emanated from that body. l
say that was surprised, and / might add
indignant, to think that less than two years
ago, some of these same men were urging US
to enlist, and to go forward to the battle field,
to the post of duty and of danger, promising
that they would stay up our hands, and do
all in their power to assist us in putting down
this causeless and unholy rebellion. Have
they forgotten this, and become recreant to
their pledges, and deserted the Old Ship of
State ? I fear it is too true that they have
cast their frail bark upon the foul sea of trea-
son, and are fast Fastening to that hell of pub
lie condemnation they so richly merit. z
What men of Portage Country endorsing
the principles of such man as Vallandigham,
and listening to his vile heresies! If such be
the case, let them take their muskets, and go
over to their friends JEFF. Davis & Co., and
fight US like men, and not attempt to stab us
in the back. But give the soldiers chance
to vote at the coming election, and we will
speak through the ballot box in louder tones
than have yet shaken the hills of Old Vir-
ginia, from the thunderings of our twelve
Founders, and will bring that class of men so
low in public oblivion, that GabriePs trumpet
shall never reach them.
4 Let traitors beware for we know our foe,
and are on the alert, and have shot always
ready, let the enemy come from the front OF
the rear. s7 eHasa gl aa aa

he was cut down by bysdeath--witls the glitter
ing sword in his hands--ere he had struck
the first blow for Greece's freedom.
In conclusion, Mr. 81. referred us to some
passages in his works, showing that his mind,
though discovering symptoms of great cor
rupsion, was, nevertheless, sometimes very
sensibly impressed with the truths of the
Bible, especially in the latter part of his event
full life.
In view of the whole matter. we were not
sorry that we went some fourteen or fifteen
miles to hear, see and be seen.
And then, the College and its corps of in
structors and its pupils, all-apparently at
least-happily pursuing their work, made us
almost wish that time would reverse its mo-
ton, and carry us back few years, to enjoy
the privileges and facilities offered by Mt.
Union College, and other kindred institutions
of learning. But this cannot be. So we
must help the young people to these privil-
eges, and rejoice in their success.

BebeI Reciprocity.

An article in the Richmond Enquirer of
June 18th shows how the leading rebels re-
ciprocate the "peace" propositions of the
Northern Democrats. The article alludes to
various expressions in Democratic speeches
and resolutions.
It sneers at the " Yankee Democracy" ac-
cuses them of being influenced by sordid,
selfish, mercenary spirit in its cry for 'peace''
declares that its only object is to gain offices
and ''spoils.'
The Enquirer says: st is of the utmost
importance to us to aid in stimulating disaf-
fection among Yankees against their own
Government, and in demoralizing and disinte-
grating society in that God abandoned coun-
try. = This is the only way we can
help them (the Yankee Democracy. In
tis sense, and to tss extent, these Democrats are
truly our ALLIES, and we shall endeavor to do
our duty by them"
The Enquirer alludes to the "Peace -
meetings held in New Jersey and New York,
and sneeringly to the :" manly declarations
of Horatio Seymour and "other patriots %
to the pompous declaration of Mr. Wash
/ ington Hunt:n Let it be proclaimed u,on
the ho,tsetops, that no citizen of New York
shall be arrested without process of law and
to the speech of Senator Wall, of New Jer-
sey, wherein he declares himself 1" in favor OF
an immediate cessation of hostilities for an
armistice,'' and to the declaration of Fitz
John Porter, that "the certain and peaceful
remedy will be found in the ballot box.',-
sneeringly and deridingly does the Enquire
treat all these propositions of the " Yanke,
Democracy and concludes as follows:
In vain is net spread in sight of the bird
} We are ware of them; and we will watcl
, them well, and the friends of the Uniol
wheresoeyer found" Our views go littl
further than theirs-we hope to SO disorgan

: that they will rush into armed revolution an
D anarchy. We spat upon the ballot bon w
care not what they demand . in resolution
nor what helpless trash they proclaim on th

o er to attain SO much as an armistlce, thoug
: indeed, If it were offered, and the invadin
troops were withdrawn, of course we shoul
not object to it, and good use could be mad

But mark well, ye arrnistice mongers Dr
