STILL THEY COME On Wednesday of
last week the Democracy OF Logan county had
a tremendous meeting. Sixty-eight men who
had never voted a Democratic ticket marched
in a procession headed by a beautiful Ameri
can flag, bearing for its motto "Vallandigham
and Liberty Each man wore a Vallandig-
ham badge. As they passed along the streets
their cheering and that of the assembled thou
sands surpassed anything ever before heard in
that region.

Ohio's Proportion ofthe War Debt

Ohio's proportion of the war debt is estimated
at Two Hundrcd and Fifty Millions of Dol
Jars I! We used to hear a great deal about the
debt of Ohio. It had hung over the people
for years, and was deemed a burden. How
much was it About fourteen million of do
lars. We have had two years and a half of
Abolition rule, and NOW our debt is Two
Hundred and Fifty Millions This is a mort
gage upon every house and lot, and upon eve-
ry acre of land in the State, just as effective
as if it were written, signed, sealed and deliv-
cred, and duly recorded. And there is no
help for it the honesteads of one half the
people of Ohio will be sold to pay that indebt-
edness 1t will be exacted in installments;
it will be called taxes; but it must be paid !:
and your property will go to pay it. Either
this, or Reputation.
Stanton, Lawrence and Co. don't tell you
this. They talk about copperheads, traitors.
and the like. Taxation don't hurt them. They
get back a hundred fold more than they pay.

The County Fair at HayesvflIe.
In order to better suit the people of all
parts of the county, the Managers of the Fair

therefore, be understood that the Fair will be
held

On Wednesday, Thursdays, and Friday, being
the

We are glad that the directors have mag
unanimously made this change, as, although
their fair was fret announced, it is certainly
best that both should not be held on the same
days. From what we hear, the fair is bound
to be a success, and the premiums offered will
secure a large display of all kinds of articles,

Not for Peace on any Terms

The abolitIonists charge VallandiSham with
being in favor oe peace on any terms. In his
great speech, delivered in New York, on
March Z, 1868, he said
I am not for peace on any terms, 1 would
not be with any country on the globe. Honor
is the life of the nation, and it is never to be
sacrificed. 1 have as high and proud a sense
of honor as any man in the South; and l love
my country too well, and cherish its honor too
profoundly, for a single moment to consent to
a dishonorable peace. ca voice-"The whole
country") Yes, the whole country every
State and ], unlike some of my own party,
and unlike thousands of the Abolition party,

constructed and will be. That is my faith and
I mean to cling to it as the wrecked mariner

CONGRATULATIONS is a traitor. His
speeches give aid and comfort to the enemy and
advise resistance to the draft. These are some
of the charges made by the abolition press
Why do these %vilifers of the character of Mr..
Vallandigham advise their dupes not to read
his record? Certainly, il he has uttered treason
able sentiments: if by word or deed he has up
held or encouraged rebellion, the surest way of
accomplishing his defeat at the coming election
would be to publish by thousands and circulate
among the people, his disloyal speeches. why
don't they do it? Base defamersl They
know that every pulsation of that heart which
now throbs within an exile's breast is for his
country. They well know that the record of
his public career is too strong proof of his de-
~votion to the Union, and hence their effort to
suppress it. We know of instances where a
license has been refused pedlars to sell this
book at public meetings, SO fearful are they
that it will fall into the hands of an hon.
est people who will read it and their wrath be
turned against his vile traducers.-Union Co.

QUERY SEcoND.-Why do not the Adolf
tionists circulate the record and portrait of
John Brough, as they did of their candidates
in former campaigns? We could only an
'swer-his record is too black and his face too
bloated to go the homes of honest laborers.-
Every visitor of. this kind would make votes
for our exiled candidate. Fhezsmother would
then know why her boy languished and died
far off in the hospital, deprived of proper food
and care, covered with vermin and weltering
in filth. She would then know that when the
State officials appealed to the iron-hearted
Brough to transport sick and wounded soldiers
over his railroad at half fare that they might
die in the presence of their families, be turned
a deaf ear to their entreaties, drank his wines
and revelcd in luxury while suffering thousands
were dying almost hearing of his Bacchanallan
glee.-Union County Democrat.

my fortune to hold political relations. He
was precisely the man to tranquilize and
conciliate the submission Of the people of
the Island to their old Government, and
be so efectully accomplished that purpose
that the Government Of the United States
heard nothing further of intended insur-
rection in Cuba, during the remainder Of
Mr.. Monroe's Administration and the
whole of mine
| All these transactions were at the time
profoundly secret. The first public allu-
sion to them ever made by me, in the
speech of the 25sh of May, 1886. to the
House Of Representatives. The circum-
stances Of the times no longer required
absolute secresy. France, Spain, Great
Britain had all undergone political reyo-
lutions. and the abolition of slavery in
British colonies of this hemisphere had
added tenfold terrors to her occupation
of Cuba, for the meditation of our South

we copy from the Providence Journal
This letter is valued not only in histor-
ical point of view, but as illustrating the
steadfast good faith of our Government,
even under the veil of the most secret di-
piomacy in its observing its neutrality,
and fulfilling the obligations Of friendship
with European power. The facts are
set forth more in detail here than in any
speech Mr.. Adams made in the House ol
Representatives, in May, 1885, when, as
he says, the 6rst public allusion was made
to them.
