very ~"loyal." We advise the people in those 10.

DREADFUL Owe hope the ladies in a
neighborirg borough will stop annoying
our loyal neigh5or Of the journal. The
word LIBERTY on the old rusty coppers
has a dreadful meaning in the estimation
of our loyal friend, and if those ladies do
not dispense with their badges, the editor
of the Journal will undoubtedly be oyerta>
ken with the nightmare, and he might
thereby lose his loyalty, as it is less than
two years since he became such, and may
only be skin deep at that. But ii his
nerves recover again from the late shock,
we hope they will vote him a leather rhedr
al in the most public manner, which would
no doubt tend greatly to settle his excited
and overweight nervous system.

ANOTHER "ScARs".-The fate of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois has been awarded 10
our own State.
The symbol Of despolism has been as
signed to Pennsylvania. Martial law has
been proclaimed against the Quaker Com
monwealth, and the Union splitters have
cut her in twain creating too military disN
tricts within her borders. The western
TO be called the department OF the Monon-
cahela, under the command Of Maj. Gen.
Brooks headquarters at Pittsburg, the
eastern is TO be called the department OF
the Susquehanua, and under the cons
mand Of Maj. Gen. Couch; headquarters
at Chsmbersburg'
We think that the Wa Department is
just now paying more attention to the
loyal States, than to South Carolina, and
her hayward sisters" as Greedy called
them in 1860. Has everything been plum,
dered aud destroyed in "Dixie" that those
superauous officers must be quartered up
on the loyal and unoffending north or
what is the matter,
We do not think that there is any
danger threatening our borders Gov.
Curtin has been in the western part OF
the State, on ~furlough, making stump
speeches ard telling the people that the
game Is about VI with the rebels; which
quite revived us indeed, but now we find
while he was absent from his post. Mr..
Stanton has in a measure superseded MIN
and handed US over to the tender mercy
of General Couch and Brooks. We pre-
sumo that Secretary Stanton, will at the
next meeting Of our Legislature petition
or order that body to abolish or oonfiscate
The office OF Governor and have the pow.
ers divided between some rear Admirtl or
General.

New PAPER.-The True Pqtriot is the IT,

former editor of the Jsftrsoniar. The
latter paper is now edited aud published
by VIM. a. Lofin, a young gentleman OF
unqaestionable ability. Both these pa

The Case of Mr.. Vallandigham,

Now that the case of the Chicago Times
has been decided, let the people once
more turn to that OF Mr.. Vallandigham.
The outrage committed, in his case. on
the liberty of speech, on the personal lib,
erly OF the citizen, and on the laws of the
land, is unparalleled in the history OF
constitutional Governments. Ye vas ar,
rested at the dead of night by military
'orce, dragged, against the law of the land
and tie (a0 passed By tie last Congress, and
approved By the President, before o drum.
head court>martial, tried, convicted and
sentenced. And to all these outrageous
proceedings the President added his own
demonstrations act, of banishing him TO
a country over which he exercises no iu.
rlsdlction, and to which he had no more
right to send him than TO drop him in
the middle of the ocean. The President
has no right to Danish any citizen from a
loyal State. The law does not recognize
such q punishment, and the act cannot
even be %apologized for by the miserable
and now threadbare plea of military ne.
cessity." 1t was q mere act of vengeance
or cowardly fear, which. if the people of
Ohio had acted with the same resolution
as those of Illinois, and especially of Chi.
cage, would have been as promptly reversed
as the order suppressing the Chicago Tines.
The history of the last fortnight has shown
the people what they must do to preserve
their liberty from the encroachments Of
arbitrary power, and what cards they
must play TO prevent an ~unprincipled
Jacobinical faction from winning the
trick. The hypocritical plea of military
necessity" in %exienuation of q crime
committed against the laws and ~institu>
tons of the country, must be promptly
met by the peoples plea Of the necessity
Of protecting their rights" aud each law,
less act of the Administration, or its sd.
traps, must be opposed and pursued TO
the last consequence.
Let not the people forget the case of
Mr.. Vallandigham. Let not their memo,
ry Of the outrage be lullsd to sleep. The
men guilty of that outrage must be made
to atone for it, and the people, in depos.
iting their ballots at the next election,
must remember that they have to resent
the greatest insult which has yet Teen
offered to free people. Age.

Bishop Clark, Of Rhode Island, recently
closed a ermon in the following words
"Blow from the South, Q winds of God
and bring us tidings Of reconciliation and
love. Blow from the North, winds of
Godl and carry back the message of fra
ternity and peace. Scatter the darkness,
roll away the clouds, and give unto us all
once more tho sunshine of tranquil rest
Under the shadow of Thy wings we make
our refuge. o, God, give us peace"
These sentiments come from a dcubtful
latltude-New England, but are tho
breathings of a pure christian heart, and

new light christian, as downright hsresy
