DespO,ism! DespOtismI! {!

People who desire to know how Des-
potiSn looks at very little distance, can
now be gratifed in the claim which Re-
publican papers setup for Abraham Lin
coin to say aCho shall be Governor Of
Obiol The Springfield Republic as.
serts this right for the President, and
says: "ThoSe who suppose he will back
down before even majority of the peo.
pie of Ohio, make fatal mistake 7"
According to the Republic, Mr.. Lincoln
wants Brough for Governor and Brough
shall be Governor, no matter if the ma.
jority Of the people don't want him
Lincoln will not back in his demands
before even majority of the People of
Ohio.
This asserts the right of Abraham
Lincoln to appoint the Governor of
Ohio.
1t is an assertion that the October
election is only farce, meaning nothing,
and had better wholly be dispensed with.
Again we say: Rouse the people |!
Ring the alarm bells ! The tools of
Despotism are forging fetters in the very
presence Of the people, to bind them

CTS fOT Sax Payers.

Mr. EDIroR:-Through your columns
| wish 10 call attention to the great
Public Debt, which the present war pol.
icy of the Administrator is fastening
upon the people of the United States
1t is truly startling in amounts; ana
will be oppressive in effect.
1t is estimated, that Ohio's portion of
the war debt is about two hundred and
fifty millions of dollars. If this debt of
259 millions of dollars is due from the
state OF Ohio. how is it to be discharged
u, ;r:cid Off? But should the debt itself
never be paid, the puyu1S""t. of its interest
alone, wonld soou revoIutionize society
To make the enormity of the debt
more manifest, consider it, as a LIEN
Npon the lnad of the State,-as in fact
it iS,-and what is the result? Every
acre of land, in the state of Ohio, is in
numbered with debt of nine dollars
and fifty cents. And if to this be added
the state debt of Ohio, the whole is Il
little over ten dollars per acre. This is
no fancy sketch. 1t is no imaginary
picture. 1t is a reality aud it will soon
be known. There is now fastened, upon
this country, a debt of that amount, as
sure and permanent, as if bonds were
given and mortgages executed to secure
their payment. Every man, who buys
100 acres Of land, buys it with an indi.
rect lien upon it, of from $50 to 1000
dollars. The interest of which will be
from 81 to 60 dollars year. And this
must be paid, in addition to the former
tax. 1t will be paid either by a direcl
tar, or by an income tar, derived from
stamp duties, or otherwise.

Negro Against White Labor.

The Republicans are endeavoring to
bring negro labor into competition with
white labor in the North. Already the
cities of the loyal States are swarming
with negroes who work for their board
and clothing while the poor white man
must shift for himself. When the war
is over and white laborers become more
numerous, this evil will be more appa.

voted the Republican ticket, will see
that be has sacrificed his own interests,

The Persecution of Democrats.

The Persecution of Democrats.
A friend writing to us, and speaking
of the prosecuting spirit of many of the
opposition leaders, says:
"When viewing the condition Of our
beloved country, which was once the
brightest star that decorated the foot
stool of the Great 81 am"-the very men
tion of which, in foreign lands spoke, in
tones not to be mistaken, that this was
the "land of the free aud the homo OF
the brave" Yet, with all our free in.
siitutiOns-fre speech, free press and
free government-we, like the good old
Apostle, have the '1born in the flesh" to
contend with and the messengers OF
Satan to buffet" u.s. No government
can be so pure that it will have no ad-
versaries And they will sacrifice all
the happiness Of 10000, 600 of whites
to release 1000, 600 of blacks, aud there
by endanger the "fairust fabric that ever
rose 10 animate the hopes of civilized
man." And thus VIC see men willing 10
trample our Constitution under foot in
order to get slavery rooted out, and YET
call those that will not join them in thciI
crusade against the institution such low
mean epithets as traitors" copper
heads" "butternuts," &C., thus striving
to sow discord and jloodshed in every
neighborhood against men, for no othe
reason than that Of belonging to tht
Democratic party"
The Democratic party is passing thro
a most fiery ordeal to uphold the UnioI
aud Constitution. But let our frien(
take courage and be of good cheer
Good men, everywhere, are rallying tt

reasoning: "Why do you raise such q
howl about arbitrary proceedings; only
a fe,C dozen men in the whole North
have suffered by them" The reply is Oh.
vious. The revolutionary war was

Wilkes, though personally odious, was
returned to the British Parliament to
vindicate popular right.
The claim to take away the legal

these Republicans consider that they

WHY RnilTOnd Companies Can
Riii Cattle with lmpunity.
FAkMERs vs.. RAILROADS.

Every intelligent farmer is fully aware
that if reckless neighbor carelessly or
malciously destroys his horses, cattle or
sheep, he can sue and recover their value;
and yet Railroad can reckleSsly or
carelcssly destroy his best horses, cattle
and sheep, and against the Railroad he
has no legal remedy. Why? Because
these Railroad Kings, through their
bribeS and free passes, corrupt courts
and legislatures. Hence any intelligent
farmer can clearly see why the Railroads
of Ohio carry people free to Railroad
President Brough's little meetings, while
they refuse to do the same for Democrat

A private letter from New York City
speaks of the marching for over a mile
down Broadway Of some fourteen whilo
conscriptS, who were chained together
by couples, by a chain attached to a wrist
of each Over one hundred armed sol.
diers brought up the rear. The con.
scripts were dressed in citizens clothes.
Spectators on the sidewalks were gen.
eral in their condemnation of the Admin
iStration, and thought they might have
been spared such sight, by putting the
conscripts in omnibuses.
One of our citizens, who has Just re.
turned from Philadelphia, informs us
that he witnessed a similar sight in
Philadelphia last Sunday. A number
ofwhite conscripts were marched through
the streets, chained together by .twos,
preceded and Aanked by files ofsoldiers,
and the rear ofthe procession brought
up by troop Of cavalry The effect on
those who witnessed the humiliatipg
spectacle was anything but agreeablej

+, The Richmond Enquirer Of the 10th
inst, says that the Office, types, and pres.
ses of the Raleigh IN. o. Standard,
edited by William Holden, have been
destroyed by party of Georgia sol,
diers. William Holden was in Peters.
burg at the time. In return for this
outrage the citizens and friends of the
Standard destroyed the office of the
State journal. Gov. Vance reached
the spot after the work of destruction
was nearly completed, and begged the
crowd to deSist, and rebuked them for
the act, telling them that no such exam.
pie had been seen in Lincoln's domions.
The Standard has Jared the fate of

Why Don't You Abuse the Sc
ceSSiOniSts!

This has become q stereotyped in
quiry of those good people who think
they are doing wonders by staying at
home and abusing the rebels. 1t is
certainly much better way to abuse
secessionists with
"MOrtar, paixhan and petard,
than to do it by getting fat contracts,
raising rows with Democrats, and bawl-
ing ost on street corners about "loyal-
ty." Nevertheless, we take such little
credit as attaches to the fact of steadily
denounciDg the leaders of this wanton
rebellion, and doing what we conceive
to be more useful, cheering up and en-
conraging our own people with the idea
of ultimate success.
Just here let us notice how adroitly
and thoroughly Mr.. Pugh silences this
foolish question;
"Why, say my Republican friends, do
you not abuse the secessionistS? With
all my heart, if I thought they would
hear what | said about them; but they
don't happen to be present, and it
would be wasting my patience and
strength to abuse them, | would,
my friends, be great deal like the
lrishman who was hired to dig pota.
toes 1t was very hot afternoon, and
the Irishman, instead of going about his
work, laid down under the shade of q
tree and went fast asleep, and when the
old farmer came ont and saw him, he
shook him and said. Pat, why don't you
dig my potatoes?" The Irishman lepli-
ell, Bring your potatoes here, and I'll
dig 'cm.' Laughter, So say to my
Republican friends, Bring the seces.
sionists here within the sound of my
voice, and | will abuse them to your
hearts content Cries of Good.
They would not know that | had abused
them, therefore | do not propose to waste
any breath upon that subject; but il
there are any of my Republican friends
who wish to exercise their gift, let them
go out into the woods and pick ont any
tree or sapliug, and let itrepresent it JEFF
ferson Davis, and shower upon it all the
aaNthcmos they can possibly think of
until they have exhausted themselves
they may say at the end that Pugh say;
amen. [ Cheers. hope that will graft
. fy'them."
