JacObln Shutting,

The Jacobins try very hard to repre-
sent the Democracy Of Ohio as willing to
conclude peace on any terms, and to lay
these words in the mouth Of the Democratic
candidate, the Hon. CLEMENT L. VAL
LANDIGHAM. They know they utter a
falschood when ,hey make this charge,
lor they know that Mr.. YALLANDIGHAM.
IN all his speeches, declared the restoration
OF the Union as the solo object he had in
view. The true issue between VALLAN.
DIGHAM and BRoUGn, the candidate of
the Jacobins, is the Constitutional rights of
the citizens and Of the States on one side
and arbitrary rule, suspension Of ha5eas
c0'p"S suppression of the freedom of speech
and of the press, and suspension of Jury
trials, ON the other. That's the issue,
and the Jacobins cannot change it.
On this subject the louisville Journal
administration contains the following
truthful suggestions:
lie NOMINATION OF NALLANDIGHAM
The nomination Of Vallandigham for the
Governorship of Ohio by tho Ohio Demo.
cratic State Convention is the product Of
several factions, the greatest Of which, as
we conceive, is the feeling of mingled in
dIgnation and compassion and distrust cx-
cited by the unlawful treatment he has
received at the hands Of an odious Ad.
minlstration, and the very least of which
is the approval of his views respecting the
war Indeed his views respecting the war
appear 10 have cut little or no figure in the
procedure. He was nominated in spite of
them rather than in consequence of them
and, ii he Shall be elected, he will be elcc-
TED IN like manner. The proceedings of
the Convention eVinced in this particular
nothing save personal sympathy with him
ana deep-felt wrath at the Administration.
The platform adopted by the Convention,
which we will endeavor to make room for
N the journal of tomorrow, does not
approve his views respecting the war; and
the speech of the Hon. George Il. Pugh,
who, after the delivery of the speech Was
by acclamation for the Leuten.
ant GoVernorship, expressly repudiated
nose views. The truth seems to be, that
'he question the Convention intended to
,alse by nominating Vallandigham is not
lie question of peace, but simply the ques.
Ion OF the right OF the freedom of discus,
'ion."

The Columbia Volunteer Militia

Our people in Columbia County have
nobly responded to the emergency requi.
stlon for the suppression Of the late Rebel
Raid Invasion. The first call was re-
sponded to in the raising and sending for
ward of Capt. Clarks Company. The
second call for Volunteers resulted in raj.
sing Capt Ent's Company. Another Com
pany was sent off last week; OF which
we have but lite definite information, ex-
copting that the Company are denomina-
ted the "Looenburg Guards" in honor
OF our fellow citizen, Lieut.. David Low
enberg.
We publish elsewhere communication
from Co. H., 28th Rogt. P. V. M, Of
which our excellent young friend, U. II.
Ent, is Captain, with list of the Officers
and Privates. They were, when the let
ter was written, at Marysville, above Har-
rsburg. Since then they were ordered

"IHE VALLANDIguAM CASE IN CALI.
FoRNIA-The Sonora California; Unloa,
Democrat, of May l6, says;
"vALLANDIGEAM."
"No news of what has been done in the
case of this gallant Democrat has been re-
celved since the first announcement of his
arrest. Thousands look with anxious
eyes for his release and triumphant yindi-
cation at the hands Of the people of Ohio.
"ln giving an account Of The Democratic
meeting in that city, it says:
"The meeting then adjourned with
three rousing cheers for VaAandtgham." j."
Mr. Vallandigham's fame, ever since
Mr. Lincoln ordered his deportation as a
convict without lawful trial or conviction.

the crushing condemnation of Mr.. LincoIns
unconstitutional, lawlcss and tryranical
act.

Judge WoodWard's Speech.

We lay before our readers to-day the
admirable speech of Judge Woodward, the
Democratic nominee for Governor, deliv-
cred at the great Union meeting in Indo-
pendence Square on the 18th of December,
1860. The calm, sensible, and patriotic
remarks of the distinguished speaker will
be read with great interest at the present
time. AT the period they were delivered
they elected the warmest commentators
from all who listened to them, and they
are now invested with increased interest
on account of the position in which Judge
Woodward has been placed by the Democ-
racy of Pennsylvania. We bespeak for
them the careful persual of all who are
aesirous of learning his real views and
opinions in reference TO our national troub-
les, which have been SO studiously mis-.
represented by the Jacobin press of this
place.

ovnn DrUugn.

The Missouri Republican (Administra-
tion) contains the following interesting no.
Iico, rather suggestive than explicit, Of the
financial ingenuity of the Republican can
didate for Governor of Ohio
"This gentlemen is, somewhat unoxpec.
tedly, brought forward as a suitable Re
publican candidate for Governor of Ohio.
lie was familiarly known in this quarter
some years ago, having distinguished HIM
self by his connection with the Mississippi
and Atlantic Railroad projected TO connect
St. Louis with Terre Haute. At public
meeting held in st. Louis in 1854, he as
surcd his hearers that this road should be
completed and in running order in one
year. The road immediately took his
name, the "Brough Road;" yet from
some motive which remains still uneX-
planned, and TO the surprise and dismay Of
the Western stockholders, he abandoned
his post as President of the road before
the year was up, and the work remains
unfinished, and the motive for his detection
unexplained to this day. Were this prom
ised honor in any degree dependent upon
Illinois or Missouri voters, we might hope
to have this mystery cleared up; but it is
certainly an amusing fact, if, indeed, it
may prove to be vcritable one, that this
same gentleman, now put forward as an
exceedingly suitable person for Governor
of Ohio has been considered, for the last
twelve or fifteen years resident of the
State OF Indiana. There is not the least
harm in all this, yet the intelligent Re-
publicans of Ohio can scarcely fail to ask
if no more suituble timber may be found
to fill the chair of State in their name"
1t does not matter what timber the Abo.
ition Jacobins employ in Ohio. The
election of the Hon. CLEMENT L. VALLAN-
DIGHAM is foregone conclusion. Mr..
LINCOLN willed it so.

BGy" We should like to see the official
report OF that Smelling committee which
last week hunted poor old begger man
and woman for several days, up and down
the creek.
Did they find out that the one wearing
petticoats was woman indced--and if
they did, how? How many maps and
charts did they find in the bundle of bro
ken meat, hard bread ,and mouldy cheese ?
And how about the shoes and stockings,
cap lining, and various other little matters
not necessary to mention?
Come let us have the testimony upon
which you concluded they were not spies,
so that most Discerning public may know
if you are equal to your position. The
eyes of the world arc upon you, you can
not escape history, and it is in your own
hands to make at least one very enter.

Tne NEw STAMP DUnEs.-On the first
day of October, the new law in relation TO
stamp duties, under the act Tor Internal
Revenue, went into operation. il lsa most
important law, justly observes the Piiisburg
Dispatch, affecting every one dealing in
bonds, mortgages, legal wfi's, bank checks,
policies of insurance, custom house papers
and other documents OF legal business
character. All these instruments have TO
be stamped or they become null and void,
and for every stamp there is specific price,
These stamps will be supplied BY The POST
master, as well as by the Internal Revenue
Collectors, al Government prices, IN
amounts not exceeding 500. The law,
however, will moi be enforced until stamps
are provided
A law like this, affecting so many inter-
ests and going into every ndiyduals busi-
ness, will raise great many questions dis
fcut OF solution upon the instant. Many
OF the questions cannot re resolved IN adj
vance, but must wait till they arise, for Il
proper official solution, The authorities at
Washington, however, should as Tar as able
Immediately give such Instructions to thoso
appointed 10 administer the act, as will IA
c;lia,e their operations and explain 10 the
public when and how the law applies, and
in what instance it does not Such insruc-
,ions would be of general tnteTes; and in
formation The law requires the following
articles TO be stamped:
For bank check or sight draft for an
amount exceeding twenty dollars, a two
cent stamp will be required fer proms-
sorry note,or draft (olher than sight,) stamps
OF various amounts, from five gents up>
wards, are required a certificate of stock
in an incorporated company, lweny.fy
cent stamp; a power Of attorney, twenty
five cents passage ticket 10 a foreign
port, fifty cents 10 one dollar; merchants
and shippers have 10 pay duties Of from Ten
cents 10 one dollar on bills OF lading, mani.
tests for entry or clearance, certificates of
damage, entry OF goods al custom house,
&c. for protest Of note, or,marine protest
The stamp duty is twenty-five cents on a
deed OF grant, from ffly cents upwards a
lease on protest. fifty cents TO ono dollar
policy Of insurance on lie or property,
will have from twenty cents 10 one dollar
added 10 its cost in the way of siamn;
telegraph dispatches are taxed from one 10
three cents each bonds and mortgages
have 10 be stamped according 10 their
amount, the lowest denomination for stamp
tor this purpose being fly cents probate
OF will, or letter Of administration, pays
stamp Of fifty cents, upward, proporionaie
10 the amount involved while an express
company's or 'common carriers" receipt is
taxed from one 10 five cents. There are
heavy penalties for making, signing or is
suing any instrument, documents or paper
OF any kind whatsoever, without the same
being duly stamped :" and the instrument
or paper becomes invalid and of no elTec,
from the want Of such a stamp.
