Not for Peace ON Amy Terms.

TIE Abolitionists charge Vallandig
ham with being in favor of peace on any
terms He has always expressly denied
the charge. In his great speech deliver
ed in New York, on March z, 1853, he
said:
II am not for peace on any terms; [
''would not be with any country on the
globe. "Honor is the life Of the nation, and
it is never to be sacrificed [ have ashigh

Grand Flzzle.

The Abolitionists, sometimes out of
courtesy called Republicans, were to
have had Grand. Mass Meeting at Bellair,
Belmont county, ON Saturday, the 10Th
inst The ST. Clairsville Gazette of the
10th inst. gives the following notice of
it:
sHon. Benz. Stanton, OF Bellefontaine,
one OF Ohio's most gifted sons, and B. S.
Cowen" were to address the people, and
the patriotic psople Of Bellair engaged a
fne brass band" and done everything in
their power to make the meeting glori-
Gus success" and "give the Vallandigham-
ners of that section of the county stun
ner that they will not soon get over. -
The meeting was held, but from some
cause the people failed to come. Accor-
ding to Republicans who were present,
there was but from 800 to 900 people
men, women and children-at the meet
ing, and not over $50 voterson the grounds.
This "grand' failure gave the leaders OF
the Abolition party a'sstanner that they
will not soon get over" The people are
not with them. The Democratic town
ship meeting at Milligaus on Tuesday,
was larger than the Republican ssGrand
Mass Meeting at Bellair, and the Demo-
cratic township meeting at Jacobsburg

But Liberty, wounded and bleeding, lies

DEATH
Thus he, the most valorous knight in her
cause,
Whose tongue wisest pied for the "Union

Swerving no way from the right, uncon-
Gemned of a wrong,
Is banished his State by ribaldrous
throng.
But Liberty soon will be healed of her
snlarts,
And again rear her throne in the people S
warm hearts,
And the exile returned, on his loved soil
shall stand,
With new honors, crowned by her liberal
hand.
For Liberty knows how her martyrs to

Who strove for her veal in the heat of
the fray,
When the ioemen came forth like an avail
anche hurled,
Her bulwarks to break-once the hope OF
the world.

Come out from the clouds in your late

If manhood and might shall inherit your

And never again let your ensign by trailed,

Be constant on guard with an eye eagle
With an arm barred in Liberty's honor to

BODY TO BLAME.
CHILLICoTHE, August IL
On entering this city to-day at one
o'clock we made up our mind that some
thing was wrong Either it was Val
landigham nest, or the Union men were
sleeping at their post; and if the latter
was the case, we predicted the former
would soon be the result. For two or
three weeks it had been published in the
papers that Hon. John Sherman, one of
the most distinguished men of the State,
and an excellent speaker, would be here
to address the people of Ross county, in
connection with Hon. A. G. Trimble, late
Congressman of this District OF course,
a large turnout of the people was ex-
pected. The thriving farmers, mechanics
and merchants of old Ross would ceItain-
ly not be laggard in showing their sup
port of the Union CAUSE After reading
of the immense demonstrations in the
counties further to the west, we had no
doubt they would endeavor to excel them
all in numbers aud enthusiasm. But on
reaching the place appointed for the meet
ing, after the time speaking should have
commenced, pleasant shady seminary
lot in the heart of the town, We found on
ly dozen or two men present, who were
fixing up a platform and some seats

more than two hundred persons are in

at two o'clock, filed the Court house, and
made very attentive and approciative au

Committees who are to blame. They can
