pie. The blood Of your comrades shed
by the rebels at Stone river, and on all
the other battle fields whore our brave
have fallen, does not so stir their souls
as the great fall in the currency. The
mothers and sis'eIs Of Ohio, who have
lost the props Of their homes aud hearts.
have murmuringly given to their country
the dearest idols Of their love, whilst
these creakers have made the air vocal
with the beresvements Of their pockets.

prevail ..m rg ..... '.t.
The last art in those performances is
the unpatriotio attempt to excite The pre-.
ljudices of our soldiers, by representing
the conflict as war not for the Consii-
tuition and the Union, but Tor the emapcl-
patton of the tegro. 1t is all unfortunate

men and notorious rebels should SO fully
concur in sentiment. But for the proc.
lamstion, say they, wo would have cordi-
ally co operated in the prosecution Of the
war. Ohio knows that this is base pre-.
tense. The same mvn who howl about
emancipation, bewailed 10 equally strong
tones Al the arrest Of Kane and his com
peers in per6dy. the dlsbandng Of tie
conspiralors at Frankfort, and every vig-
orous act and policy of the Administra
