to the Empsror'a notice. Recently one
of his employees in excavAting on the site

men have no property to be destroyed,

times Of tumult they may become the
victims, instead Of the indiscreet men who
are forming secret political leagues and
going round calling Democrats traitors

A Bogus Union Address.

The Ohio Statesman says:
The Administration members of the
late General Assembly have published
an Address to the Ohio Soldiers. Its
tone and texture are the same that char
acterize the electioneering articles which
we find daily in Republican papers,
These "played out" Senator's and. Rep
resentatives assume to speak for the 10y
al people of the Statel That is deci.
dedly cool, when the factis considered
that they are repudiated. and reprobated
by the people. Our brave and gallant
soldiers will duly appreciate. the source
from which it emanates, and treat it as
lit deserves to be treated.
The names OF Hon. Martin Grain and
Hon. A. Thorp, are signed to this doc
ument, without their knowledge or con-
sent. They were elected, in 1861, by
the so.called Union party; hut they nc
longer belong to it, They are nou
sound and reliable Democrats. Th'
political tricksters and demagogues who
got up the Address, ought to be care
fol how they sign other peoples namei
to their electioneering documents, with
out authority to do so. They will Ger
trinity not promote the interests Of thei
Z. party by it.
