The War Power.

The peace Democrats deny the doctrine
of the war power" or that the Presi-
len has any right to exercise powers in
war that are denied TO him in time of
peace. They scout the war power" as
a myth. an abstraction which means moth
ing and confers no authority upon the
Administration. In lieu of any cotem-
poraneOus testimony upon this point, let
us quote from one whose authority to
speak upon this or any other question of
national policy, no II will care to ques-
tion-John Quincy Adams. In 1886, du-
ring a debate in the House of Represen-
t~atives, Mr.. Adams said
"Sir, in the authority given to Con-
gress by the Constitution of the United
States to declare war, all the powers incl
dental to wal are, by necessary implica-
ton. conferred upon the Government of
the United States. Now, the powers in
cidental to war are derived, not from
their internal municipal course, but from
the La0s and usages Of nations.
There are, then, Mr.. Chairman, in
the authority of Congress and of the Ex-
e~cutive, two classes of powers, altogether
different in their mature, and often incom-
patible with each other-the war power
and the peace power. The peace powsr
is limited by regulations and restricted
by provisions prescribed within the Con-
stitution itself. The Wdr poOer is limited
only blythe huS anil usages Of naL0nS. The
power is tremendous /; 1T Is STRICTLY Cox
srIrUrIoNAL, but ii breaks dozen erery barrier
so anriOusiy erected for the protection Of Lib
erty, Of Property, and of Life"
/. Alter an interruption, Mr.. Adams went
on to say, that there are indeed, powers
of peace conferred upon Congress which
also come within the scope and iurIsdic-
ton of the laws of nations, such rs the
negotiation of treaties, the interchange
of public ministers and e%onsuls. and the
intercourse between the inhabitants of
the United States and foreign nations
but continued Mr.. Adams) the po1cerS
Of trar are al regulated BY the aars of nations,

A Row at Canton,

On Friday last the Copperheads in the
nelghborhOOd of Canton, held a onven
ton in that place, which was addressed
10y one Epson BUuernut Obs and GEO. l..
CONyERsE. They were obliged to speak
in the street, rs every hall in the city was
closed against them. During the course
of the speech of CONVERSE. an officer of
the 10th Ohio Regiment called upon the
Deputy Sheriff to arrest a deserter, who
was in the crowd, which he refused to do.
Shortly afterward a fight broke out in
the street. While this was going on. the
officer made his way TO the speakers
stand and denounced OLDS and all who
upheld him, as traitors. The fight be-
came general. No serious injury occurred
on either side. One copperhead was
stabbed, but the wound is not dangerous.
Natures weapons, the fist, were mostly
used. The bu%tternuts engaged were
mostly of the lowest order. Many were
knocked down and trumpled upon on
each side. The copperheads, says a cor
respondent OF the Cincinnati Commercial,
from which we learn the particulars, out
numbered the Union men thirty to one,
but he thinks the traitors did not make
Il point" There were very few, indeed,
of the loyal men of Canton present. 1t
seems surprising that such infamous vag-
abOnds as OLDs and CONVERSE are to speak
in amy community in Ohio. Why are
they not arrested, tried for treason, and
when convicted, hung? These twin tories,
we understand, are stumping the State
for the purpose of organizing u secret So
ciety, called the knights OF the Golden
Circle" III order that has for its object
the OF erthrow of our Government, and to
drench our land in LlOod.-Sulsm RsDa5.

WAYS and Means in Indiana.

The Co~pperheads of the Indiana Leg
%islature refused to pass any a%ppropris-
tons by which Governor Morton could
carry on necessary State measures. But
if other counties come up to the relief as
promptly as Marion has done. he will
have no difficulty. An indianapolis dis
patch says:
The County Commissioners of this
(Marion) county, passed a resolution yes
terday offering to advance Gov. Morton
fifteen thousand dollars to assist in car
rying on the State Government, the
Copperhead Legislature having spent all
of its time in denouncing the Govern
ment, and attempting to pass unconstitu-
tional measures, instead of providing for
benevolent institutions, interest Of the
State debt, care o. the sick and wounded
soldiers, &c. 1t is thought this will be
followed by similar offers from other 10y
al counties.
Colonel Darlington has succeeded in
capturing, in transit, a large lot of pistols
intended for the X. g. c. lodges in this
city. They will be confiscated."

The Meeting last Thursday.

SPEECHES &c.-ln response TO call made
by the Union County Central COMMITTEES,
Webb's large Hall was, on Thursday eve
ming last, packed to its utmost capacity
a large number were unable to obtain
seats, but so interested were they in the
speeches and business Of the meeting,
that scarcely 4 person left the Hsl until
the meeting adjourned.
The speech of General Cox. Il synopsis
of which Will be found in another column,
was n of great power, and was listened
to with almost b~reathless attention, X
cept when interrupted by bursts Of APP
plause. OF its points we need not speek.
for all viii peruse it for themselves. As
a clear, logical and true statement of the
principles at issue between the North
and South-the present status of the war,
and the action necessary TO bring the IL
fict to a speedy and permanent close,
the speech of General Cox has not been
surpassed by any we have seen.
At the conclusion of General Cox's
speech, the chairman of the meeting,
Hon. J. F. BEAVER, was loudly called for,
and in response, made a short and telling
speech. He said that much as we had
learned of war, during the two years past
it was altogether probable much more
would be learned during the present year.
He referred to the condition of the coun-
try at home, and thought that the result
Of a continuation Of the opposition to the
War, thereby giving aid and comfort to
armed rebels, would sooner or later re-
suit in a rupture OF the peaceful relations
now enjoyed in the North. He earnest
ly called upon all friends Of the Union
and Government, 10 unite in their ell
deavors to put down rebellion, and claim
Ell that in this as in the Christian warfare,
The who is not for Us, Is against u.s.
that every mans influence must count
upon one side o. the other. He recon-
mended the formation of a League, o.
any other system by which unity OF &C
ton could be secured. He said that the
Presidents Proclamation fer the return
of deserters n,ustJe enforced, notwithstand-
ing the threats Of copperheads, let the
result be what it may.
A large number Of ladies were present,
and the meeting was one Of the largest
ever hell indoors in the county. The
best Of feeling was manifested, and the
effect cannot but be beneficial.

4 PLAN FOR TIE FORMATION OF a UNION
LEAGUE"
In view Of the distracted condition of
cur country, induced by the diabolical
schemes of traitors, rebels, and their
sympathisers, it Is most evidently the
solemn duty OF every patriotic, Union
loving citizen. to stand firm in the cause
Of the Nation. and to resist and defeat
the efforts Of the enemies Of the country,
who are endeayoring to destroy our Re
publican Institutions, and arrest the on
ward march OF the Spirit of Liberty;
Therefore, We, the Union citizens Of
Warren, discarding all minor and imma-
terial differences, deem ii expedient,
right and proper 10 organize ourselves
into an association, that we may more eff
fciently promote the interest and wei
fare of the Government, 10y uniting and
concentrating our attention and energies
to that great object-the association 10 be
called
THE UNION LEAGUEOFWARREN."
The Fundamental Articles Of Associa-
ton shall be,

shall be, unequivocal loyalty to the Gov
ernment of the United States, and unwa-

Succintly Stated.

The matter of arbitrary arrests" and
kindred questions. is admirably stated by
Mr.. Welsh. of Belmont county, in q
speech delivered in the Ohio Senate on
Sd inst. He said
While war is raging, many of the
rights held sacred by the Constitution,
rights which cannot beviolated by any acts
of Congress, may and nus be suspended
and held in allegiance. If this were not
so, the Government might itself be de-
stroyed the army and navy might be
sacrificed, and one part of the Constitu.
ton would nuliify the rest.
If freedom Of speech cannot be sup
pressed, spies cannot be caught, impris-
oned and hung.
IF freedom Of the press cannot be inter
rered with, all our military plans may be
betray ed to the enemy.
IF no man can be Lprired Of life With
ont trial by jury, a soldier cannot slay the
enemy in battle.
IF enemy's property cannot be taken
without due process of law how can tn
soldier disarm the foe and seize his weap
ons?
If no person can be arrested, sentenc-
ed and shot, ,oithout trial by jury, in the
county or State where his crime is alleged
TO have been committed, how can a desert

and G.. y. Hapgood, be appointed to
draft Bylaws for the Government of the
League, to report at q meeting to be held
in this Hall on Friday evening, March 20,
1863.
j. Dana, Esq, offered the following
resolutions, which were adopted without
a dissenting voice:
Resolved, lst. That the high degree of
prosperity to which our country had at
tanned prior to the existing rebellion
its growth in wealth and power
was largely due to the National Govern
ment established by our fathers, purchas-
ed by their blood and b~equeathed to US
as a priceless inheritance that for its
maintenance and defence we pledge
anew our lives, our fortunes and our
sacred honor"
ID. That the patriotic spirit of our gal
liant and brave soldiers, manifested by
their determination to conquer rebels IN
arms against the government, IS worthy
our highest admiration, and that their
detestation of tories as proclaimed by
their oft repeated resolutions, is alike
patriotic and commendable. That we
pledge ourselves to their support in their
efforts to subdue the first while a rebel
shall remain, and join them in the last
SO long as tories disgrace their country or
pollute the earth.
On motion the meeting adjourned, to
meet Friday evening, March 20, at this
place. j. F. BEAVER, Chm.

r emedy for Small Pox.

\ great discovery is reported to have
been recently made by a Surgeon of the
English Army in China, in the way of an
effectual cure for this terrible and loath-
some disease. The mode of treatment is
as follows: When the preceding fever is
at its height and just before the eruption
appears, the chest is rubbed with croton
oil and ~tartaric ointment. This causes
the whole of the eruption to appear on
that part of the body, to the relief of all
the rest. 1t also secures a full and COM
plete eruption. and thus prevents the
disease from attacking the internal or
gans. This is said to be now the estab-
lished mode of treatment in the English
Army in China by general orders, and is re-
garded as a perfect success. As this dis
ease now prevails in different parts of our
country, it would be well for our physi-
clans to put this remedy to practical test,
and if found as successful here as it is said
to be in the English Army in China, It will
certainly prove n great blessing to the
community in general. We are permit
ted to Gull these facts from a private let
ter just received from China by a friend.

O they Vince!

The 'butternuts" wiring and twist and
writhe and squirm under the stirring
words which the soldiers are sending back
demanding support and encouragement
at home while they conquer the common
enemy in the field. They make as many
contortions over the spirit displayed by
the officers and soldiers, as the convicted
felon does over his sentence to the Peni-
tentiary-and feel about as comfortably.
Let them give up, then. their war upon
the Administration, which can only aid
the rebels, and make common cause with
the soldiers against armed traitors, and
in less than six months the rebellion will
be at an end, the leading rebels dead or
fugitives to the protection of some for
eign despotism. and their deluded follow
ers ready to submit to the Constitution
and the laws.-Sandasky Register.

General Butler has told friends here
the course which he should have pursued
with reference to the proclamation OF
JEFF. Davis against him, had it reached
New Orleans while he was still III COM

eral and several other officers then in his
hands to Ship Island, with orders that
upon receipt of authentic intelligence. by
the officer in command there. that a ha r
of Buffers head or any of his officers had
been touched, thes, rebel prisoners should
all be hung at once. And adds Butler.

Union Leagues,

By reference to the proceedings of the
meeting held at Webb's Hall last Thurs.
day evening, it will be seen that a plan
was adopted for the formation of a Union
League in this place. This is a good
move, and one which we hope will be
followed by every township in the coun,
". The platform is surely broad enough
for every U~nionloving and traitor-hating
man to stand upon, and some concert o.
action is necessary TO defeat the aims and
purposes of those even in our midst. VINO
are plotting, preaching and PractIelng
treason.
The enemies of our Government are
strainine every nerve, and leaving no
stone unturned, TO render unpopular the
war in which we are Q engaged, and
to bring into disrepute the Administra-
ton. in its efforts to perpetuste our insti-
t~utions. It therefore becomes every man
who has the welfare of his country at
heart, TO take his stand, firmly and unal-
terably, and by every means in his pow
er contribute his influence TO sustain the
Government, rebuke treason. and mani
fest to the soldiers in the field that loyal
hearts in the North still beat in unison
with their own, and that no fire in the
rear" shall divert them from the work
they have in hand. of putting down ar7asd
traitors in their front.
To this end let the Leagues be formed,
Jet every Union man join one, and let
US show, even at the coming spring cleo
ton, that the traitorous leaders have
reckoned without their host, and that
the people in their might have no sym
pathy with Southern traitors or Northern
tories.
