Who Should P1av:

First Of all, let Abraham Lincoln prav-
pray that his marble heart NAV be softened
that the bitter curse inflicted BY wicked
rulers may be removed-that "the voice of
Rachel for her children crying'' may no
longer disturb the startled air-that blood
war may cease, and that the angel of peace
may once more spread its white wings over
borrowing land bending beneath th e eavy
blow of national affiictiops! Letthose around
and near him pray-pray that their counsels
may be free from partisan venom and ma.
llgnant spite that their actions NAV be.
governed BY an honest zeal for the welfare
OF their PROSTATE country-that all fraud
and corruption may be banished from their
midst, and that they may be spared the
fearfulcrime of having aided and abetted in
their country's ruinl Let all the people
pray-pray that their priceless liberties may
be preserVed-that illegal arrests, unlawful
banishments, and violations of personal
rights may no longer prevail-that integrity
may dwellin the heart of their servants, and
public virtue once again assert its sway in 4
the high places of the Government-that
the crimes which have degraded the bad
men in power may give place to official
purity and rectitude-that wrongs may be
righted, outrages redressed. error rebuked
and that justice may again be recalled to a /
land from whose borders she fed affrighted, |
and dismayed. when the dark shadow Of. /
coming despotism fell upon her pathway.

Ancient Contractors.

Some one has made the following extract
from an Grafton of Demosthenes
"Behold the despicable creatures, raised all
at once fiom dirt to opulencecfrom the lowest
obscurity to the highest honors. Have not
some of these upstairs built private houses
and seats vieing with the most. sumptuous of
our public places? And how have their for
tunes and their power increased, but as the
Commonwealth has been ruined and impoyer-
ished."
How applicable this to the present time and
to this country One would think that even
in the time of the great Athenian orator, more
than twenty-five centuries ago, he had a pro-
phetic view of the shoddy people of our day
:sHow have their fortunes increased with the
ruin and impoverishment Of the Common
wealth !" No doubt the "dcspicable crea-
tures' assumed to themselves a peculiar and
superior .spalriotism" while rising call at once
from dirt to opulence." That is the style now
and we would not be surprised to learn tina

ctically seconded the efforts to the armorer'i

brious epithet as Comprehend "-Phizadcl

The Meeting Last Night

Was a complete success. The hall was crowd
ed almost to suffccation-the widest enthusi-
asm prevailed. Judge BARLEY delivered an
erhaustioe address on the subject of the caus-
es of the war. He took the Abolition teach
ings and doctrines and doings for the last 80
years, and built a monument out of them-a
Golgotha of dead bones-for the self styled
"patriots" of this day to look at, and murmer,
"This is our work r
The Judge went over the ground with a
keen scythe and left little to be said, but we
confess we were both charmed and surprised
when the Hon. I. J. Kenny took the floor, to
see with what Yigor, freshness and eloquence,
he treated the important issues under
discussion. It was certainly one of the
most-efectiye stump speeches. we ever listen
ed to, and the large audience applauded the
speaker to the echo. Mr.. Kenny has a fash
ion of calling things by their right names,
which is refreshing in these days. We will
be rejoiced to hear of him elsewhere on the
stump, as he is giving honest yeoman's blows
to the good Cause leoeland Plain Dealer.

A Hint for Mr.. Lincoln.

"Mrs. Lincoln and her SON Robert are at
the White Mountains. A Maine paper sug-
gests that when Mr.. Lincoln joins them he
will leave his retinue at Washington, and have
only Mrs. Lincoln as a body guard"
We trust that Mr.. Lincoln will join Mrs.
Lincoln either with or without his body guard
We desire that Robert should be relieved from
the duty of playing gallant for his mother
We should think that his checks would tingle
for shame whenever he met a wounded soldier
or the mother of a dead hero. Why is moi
this young mar in the army He ought TO
have been there two years ago, instead OF
sporting away his college vacations at Long
Branch and the White Mountains. Thous-
ands of sons have gone and died. What bet.
ter is he than those of others for whom Mr.
Lincoln has made such loud calls, and whom
he threatens to force into the service? 1t is
hard to resist the conclusion that either tho
President is a very great hypocrite, and does
not believe the war to be the holy thing he
processes, or that he is too selfish to make the
sacrifice he demands of other parents. The
draft is proceeding in Washington is "Bob

Despotism.- Despotisn,

People who desire to know how Despotism
looks at a very little distance, can now be
gratifed in the claim which Republican pa
pers set up for Abraham Lincoln to say aoho
shall be Governor of Ohio The Springfield
Republic asserts this right for the President.
and says: "Those who suppose he will back
down BEFORE EVEN A MAJORITY OF
THE PEOPLE OF OHIO, MAKE A FA-
TAI MISTAKEN According to the Re-
public, Mr.. Lincoln wants Brough for Gov
ernor, no matter if THE MAJORITY OF
THE PEOPLE DON'T WANT HIM.
Lincoln will not back down in his demands
before even a majority of the People Of Ohio
This asserts the right of Abraham Lincoln
to appoint the Governor of Ohio.
It is an assertion that the October election
is only a farce, meaning nothing, and had bet
ter wholly be dispensed with.
Again we say Rouse the people I! Ring
the alarm bells The tools of Despotism are
forging letters in the very presence of the
people, to bind them forever !-Logan Ga

THE WOLF DROPsTHE SLEEPS
CLOTHING.

We have had occasion to notice once or
twice q certain individual who has in times
past pretended to preach the gospel, but who
forsook the sacred calling and devoted his time
and attention to the delivery of reasonable
abolition lectures, and to making enough mon
-ey out of the war to bay a farm. For a time
after his achange of base" he pretended to
stick to the title of "Reverend," but since he
has come to the conclusion that it will pay
better to preach war and hate, than Christ
and him crucifed, and the doctrine of peace
sand good will to all men and since in his
new vocation he has found it convenient to
repu6iate the truth, and to lie and swear, raise
moustaches and look fierce, he has seen fit to
dof the sacerdotal robes entirely, and hence
we now find him bravely defended in the
Times, with the handle "Dr:" prcfxed te
his name. The Reverend is played out. The
wolf showed too plainly through the perfora
ted sleeps hide, and the Reverend Chaplain

1t is supposable that those who made the

ted as often as a President might make pre-
text of a necessity to violate.
Of what use is a Constitution, limiting the
power Of rulers, if those rulers may suspend
it when they please? Can any one tell
Of what value is o Constitution protecting
the rights and liberties of the people, if rulers
may violate it at will?
The President does whatever he deems nee
essary and the Autocratdoes no more. We have
already adopted the Russian system of Con,
scription and exile shall we not have the
knout also? No wonder Alexander sent to
Tod for a copy of our laws.-Logan Gazette.
neA- Let every soldier, and the friend OF
every soldier, remember that G. l.. Vallandig.
ham supported the resolution in Congress
which increased the private soldiers pay from
S11 to Sl3 per month.
Let them also remember that while he was
doing this, John Brough, as President of a
Rail Road, refused to allow Ohio sick and woun-
ded soldiers to pass over his road on half fare,
although he was urgently appealed to by State
officials to grant them that small favor, AMI af-
ter the hard hearted Brough refused, they paid
full fare out of the peoples taxes in the public
treasury, in order that the thousands of poor
soldiers might get home to die in the presence
of their families and relatives.-Ohio Demo

whenever rebel papers quote anything APP
