American Executive nearly forty years ago,
has been of late w~antonly insulted and practi-
cally nullifed, during the Administration of a
Republican President, we give it herewith
that our readers may see how foreign nations
injure us with impunity
"'The political system of the Allied Powers,
that is, the monarchical or absolutist system, is
essentially different from that of America
This difference proceeds from that which ex-
lists in their respective governments. x X x =
We 1--WE it therefore to candoi, and to the am
icable relations existing between the United
States and these Powers to declare that We
should consider any attempt on their part to
extend their system to any portion of this
hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and
safety"
n@-The Republicans came into authority
when the power of the Government was ire
sistable. They use that vast power for no
purpose but its own destruction. They turn
it upon itself. Every battle fought-eyery
victory, whether lost or won-is just that
much detfacted m blood and treasure from
the power and glory of the Republic.
eea.W When this war cnds-and the longer it
lasts the worse will be the Consequences
there will be the greatest revolution, the most
terrific financial crash ever experienced IN the
country. Business men will go Down like
rows of brick. The people of the North have
terrible days in store for them. Every day
that the war lasts makes the calamity more
terrible.
Ms Why don't John Brcugh publish the
full correspondence between himself and the
State authorities, in relation to half fare for
soldiers The answer is at hand. Because
he refused to convey them for less than whole
fare. This is the truth. It was his own par
~ f;opIo rho fret roroo1o1 fho dopnp;nr onI
disgraceful truth.
ma Old Tod and other Republicans, went
on to Washington and begged the Govern
election, for fear 1t might beat the Republic
ans. But as seen as the election is over, if
Brough succeeds, the heaviest draft ever made
anywhere will distress our people.
: "ALMosT ANOTHER FAILURE."-A cor
respondent writes the Cincinnati Comm rcial,
from Washington, Clinton county, Aug. 18th,
in speaking of the Republican Mass Meeting at
that place, that is was "almost another failure"
that "perhaps not more than two hundred per-
sons are in from the country.
So we go.
n9-There is every prospect of carrying
Maine by the Democrats. The Abolitionists are
afraid of it, and have sent there Senator Will
son and others of lesser note to ~harangue the
people. Maine votes on the 18th of September.
Look out for a good report from Maine, as the
Democrats are united there for the first time
in many years
Br Gen. Sampson Mason, of Springfield, q
distinguished Republican, heretofore serving
in Congress and often in the Ohio Legislature,
has declared for Vallandigham.
B@- The men who get all the greef.backs are
holding Brough meetings in various parts of
the States, but the people who pay all the
greenbacks are not attending these meeting s
very numerously.
The REACTION GOES BRAvELY ON.-Dai-
ly the eyes of the people>are opening to the
designs Of the Abolition party; and many hon
est men are leaving it, having become con-
WINGED that it is better to restore tee Union
than to lose it in an effort 10 abolish slavery.
p Will frcemen of the Republican party
any longer vo:e with men who threaten civil
war if they are defeated at the ballot box ?
n- Mr.. Vallandigham is the soldiers
friend. He moved to increase their pay. He
moved to give them bounties. He voted to
give each of them 160 acres of land. But
Brough refused to carry them for half fare on
his railroad.
na- 1t is a question now whether the Pres
idcnt shall appoint, or the people elect the
Governor of Ohio.
naA We see it stated that John Sherman
and Governor Dennison are mixed up with
Hurt, editor of the central Brough organ Of
Ohio, now under arrest for enormous swindles
TheJfallJw, on a salry of $1,000, lately pur
chased property to the amount of $4,000!
A PosER.-This is the best thing we have
seen. A preacher said to a Democrat: GLOW car
you vote for a tried and convicted traitor?"-
the gentleman quietly and most severely yet
reverently, replied: allow, sir, can you serve
The Divine Master whom you profess..to follow
and who was tried, convicted, and executed for
sedition and treason?" We suppose the Pacson
was able to see the achy in both cases. -Loga,
;. Gazette.
pa An. Ohio soldier writes from Tennes
see that the reason why somez"shouldei
strapped" gentlemen are Town on Vallandig
ham, is because he presented a bill in Con
gress to reduce officers wages and increase thu
pay of the private soldiers.
