Shall the People Rule, or Shall their
Servants Become Their Masters.

Letthe young men aboutto cast their
first votes, and all other voters, beware
how you exercise your great priv.
ilege next Tuesday. The issue now mp.
on you, has only been before the people
once during the history of this govern
meRt. 1t is, shall the people rule, or
shall their servants become their mas
ters. Our public servants are banded
together, expending two millions dol
lars every day, for war and other pur-
poses. OF these two millions, one third
are profits going into the pockets OF
those who handle the money. Thus
over three hundred thousand dollars do
your public servants cleer every day,
that they retain power. These great
profits make them all rich and naughty
and they already proclaim in Ohio that
If they are defeated at the ballot box
they will inaugurate civil war. This is
o mere threat, but it is an insult to ev-
cry man in Ohio, and should be rebuk.

Keep Order and
Maintain the
Laws.

1t is the sworn duty Of all officers,
and the civil duty Of all citizens, to
prevent rowdyism, fighting, or distnr-
Dances on election day, as well as all
other days; and considering the high
state of political excitement, We Feel it
our duty to conjure men of all parties
to work jointly for the preservation of
order on next Tuesday. To this end,
we suggest that the leading men of both
parties in every township join action by
appointing an equal number Of men from
each party to suppress all disturbances,
or fighting qt the polls.
No matter what has been said hereto.
fore to excite political feeling, let us all
show by our acts that we will vindicate
the !aw-that we will discountenance all
fighting, rowdyism or disturbances. -
There are in communities but few natu
rally bad men, and, to punish them,
courts and grand jures are kept up, and
jails and penitentiaries are provided at
the public expense, for the sole purpose
of protecting society and maintaining
the laws. In this connection, we will
add that, at the last court, the Judge
charged the grand jury to ferret out and
indict all disturberS of the peace, and
stated that the court would inaict here
after the severest penalty of the law on
all persons found guilty of promoting
disturbances. riots. mobs, &c.

Because it is part of the sovereignty OF

MADAME VARIAN's BENEFIT.-Ths eve
ming the new City Hall is to resound with
melody and song. The programme that Mad
anne Varian offers on this, her benefit night, is
replete with the most charming selections.
In referring to some pieces which more espec-
Tally claim notice, we may mention the Aria
from 'L'Attila;" the new song by Hullah,
"The Three Fishers" that irresistible humor-
Gus duo from IL Elisre d'Amore," between
the Doctor and the coquettish Anina Stizelli's
'Dream of Home;' Sontag's beautiful echo
Song;" and that magnificent Duo from the
second act of ia Traviata," between the
Father of Alfredo and La Violetta, which will
be given with all the dramatic power and
effect with which the imposing scene can be
clothed. Hoffman presents us with many
choice mircraux from his repertoire.
1t is expected that Simon the Celarer will
'drop i'm during the evening, and perhaps

There was an immense mass meeting held
in this city this afternoon under the auspices
of the Loyal League of Union citizens. Gen.
Scott presided, occupying chair in the
balcony of the Fifth Avenue Hotel Four
stands were erected around Madison Square,
fronting the hotel. The attendance at all the
stands numbered not less than 10000. Among
the speakers were John Van Buren,, Daniel S.
Dickinson, Geo. Bancroft, Rev. DIR. Hitchcock,
Henry j. Raymond, Geo. VIM. Curtis, Lyman
Tremain, L. Delatield Smith, ii. S. Stanton,
and others. The reception of Gen. Scott,
when he appeared on the balcony, was exceed
ingly cordial He was too feeble, however, TO
address the meeting, and was only able to oc-
cupy the chair for an hour.
