NoyEL METHOD or STEALING
The Paris police have just succeeded
in arresting two shopitlers and who
have for some time been exercising
their craft 10 the prejudice Of iacemcn,
dealers in embroidery, and jewellers

lodged with tie police, but all efforts
to discover the thieves proved fruit.

marked ihat all the robberies coinci-
ded with the visits of an elegant lady,
accompanied by a nursemaid in peas

in very rich embroidery. a watch
was accordingly set on these two per-
sons, and The day before yesterday an
agent OF the detective police caught
tie nurse in the act Of secreiing some
valuable lace while her mistress wa,

VOLUME 27
The case OF Mr.. Vallandigham.

Now that the case Of the Chicago Times
has been decided, let the people ouce more
turn to that of Mr.. VALLAHDIGHAM. -
The outrage committed, in his case, on
the liberty of speech, on the personal lib
erty OF the citizen, and on the laws of the
land, is unparalleled in the history of
constitutional Governments. He was ar
rested at dead cl night by military force,
dragged, against the law Of the land, and
the iaoc passed BY the last Congress, and
0nd approved by tile President, before d
drum-head court-martial, tried, convicted
and sentenced. Aud to all these outrage
Gus proceedings the President added his
own unconstitutional act, of banishing him
TO a country over which he exercises no
jurisdiction, and to which he had no more
right to sen him then to drop him in the
middle Of the ocean. The President has
no right to Danish any citizen from loyal
State. The law does not recognize such
a punishment, and the act cannot even bo
apologizod for by the miserable and new
threadbare plea of military necessity"
1t was mere act Of vengeance or of cow
ardly fear, which if the people of Ohio
had acted with the same resolutions "a
those of Illinois, and especially of Chicago,
would have been as promptly reversed as
the order suppressing the Chicago Times.
The history Of the last fortnight has
shown the people what they must do to
preserve their liberty from the encreach-
ments of arbitrary power, and what cards
they mus.play to prevent an unprincipled
Jacobinical faction from winning the trick.
The hypocritical plea of "military necess-
ity," in extenuation of crime committed
against the laws and institutions of the
country, must be promptly met by tho
peoples plea of the "necessity of protec-
ting their rights" and each lawless act of
the Administration, or its satraps, must
be opposed and pursued to the last con-
sequence.
Let not the people forget the case of
Mr. VAFLANDIGHAM. Let not their
memory Of the outrage be lulled to sleep.
The men guilty of that outrage must be
made to atone for it, and the people, in
deposting their ballot at the next election,
must remember that they have TO resent
the greatest insult which has yet been off,
cred to q free people.

That Sermon.

Il may be expected that we should take
some notice of the political sermon o. de.
liyered last Sabbath morning in the Metho-
dist Church, by the Rev, Thomas M.
Reese, p. E. Of this district. The Rev.
politician himself seemed by his remarks
to anticipate it, but we cannot consent to
crafty his vanity. If we were disposed
to give any portion of our columns to the
subject, VIC should be compelled to express
our sense of the utter unftness Of the time
(the holy Sabbath) the place, Ga church,
and the character Of the speaker, Ga min
lister of the Gospel for political abolition
harangue, which he chose 10 dignity by
the name of Sermon That we may not
be guilty of passing it by entirely unno-
ticed, we remark that it had all the charac-
teristics of a "stump Speech" in style,
manner and matter; and so far were the
audience made to forget the sacrcdncss Of
OF the day and the prophecies Of the place
that when the speaker intimatod that he
had probably said enough they broke out
in the regular club.room style with criet
of ego on, go on.p His undigniied allu
sion to the Democratic portion of lis audi
ence, designating them as "Copperish'
about the head, was as unbccoming thu
character OF his sacred Office as it was in
sulting to those referred to.
Such sermons may build up Republican
but they will never convert sinners

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June IL, l663.-The
Democratic Site Convention was organ
lied this morning in this city. The atten-
dance is immense. All preceding Conven-
tions Of all parties sink into insignifcance
compared with this. Probably one hun
red thousand persons are here. Speeches
have been made from almost every avail
able position in the city.
The feeling in Vallandighams favor is
overwhelming, and no one else is talked Of
There have been no unpleasant incidents.
The military are invisible, and many of
the soldiers in the crowd are shouting for
Vallandigham.
The excitement continued even without
regard to the recess. No one seemed to
care for anything more than the grand re-
suit which will be known this afternoon.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The Convention re-assembled at two
o'clock p. M. The committee on Perma-
nent Organization reported Ex-Governor
Medill, of Fairfield, who was selected as
the President Of the Convention, and his
appearance upon the stand was greeted
with prolonged cheers. Amos Lyon was
made Secretary. One Vice President and
one Secretary from each Congressional
District was then appointed.
Gov Medill, upon taking the chair,
said it was the purpose of this vast assem-.
blage to show that there is no cowardicc
in the people of which power could take
advantage, and to place Ohio upon the
same platform with the State of New Yorl
which she would have always occupied
but for the subserviency of their STATE
officials. prolonged cheers for New

Mr.. james, Of Muskingham, the friont
Of Jewett, then nominated Clement l.
Vallandigbam as the candidate for Cover
nor. The nominations was immediately
made unanimous, amid the prolonged
cheers of the crowd. The counties were
called, and Vallandgham RECEIVED TIL
