This is the spirit Of their party, and talk.
ing on this subject day or two ago, the,
great Gamaliel Of the party in this place,
|ot whose feet these men have been brought
up, and trained in the principles of treason
and violence, said Barn them out burn

This is the spirit Of their party, that in
Kentucky led tho mob against Cassius NJ.
Clay, and destroyed his printing Office for
daring to advocate the principles of free
dom.
This is the spirit that in Kansas sought
by mob violence to letter the will of the
people and force upon them despotic laws,
of which the following is an extract:
ri any free person, by speaking or by
pr1ttpg, assert or maintain that persous
have not the right to hold slaves 10 this
Territory, or shall introduce into this Ter,
ritory print, publish, write, circulate, or
cause to be introduced into this Territory,
any book, paper, mdgotziae, pamphlet, on
circular, containing any detial Of the right
Of persons to hold slaves in this Territory,
such person shall be deemed guilty Of felony,
and punished BY imprisonment at hard la
Dor for term OF not less than two years. :"
And when these laws were before the
ScLate Of the United States for ratification,
the same spirit induced George Il. Pugh,
the present Democratic candidate for Lieut..
Governor Of Ohio, to say !: .,.i..a g
Sir, l regret the necessity for such leg
lslation; but where Slavery exists as an in
stitution, laws Of that character must be
adopted" uadf III w., =
This is tho spirit that in the Senate of
the United States, manifested itself in the
Democratic party, in the brutal assault on
Senator Sumner, for words spoken in de-

This is the spirit chat led your party in
Noble county, and in Holmes county, 10 this
State, to an open, armed resistance to the
laws Of the Government, and to the mob

This is the spirit that has led your party
in Indiana and Illinois to frequent and open
demonstrations of hostility against the
Government and against the laws
This is the spirit that in the city Of New
York has organized itself into great mob
to resist the draft, and is destroying the
property of the citizens, and numbering the
officers Of the laws. .'- ...i. ...-.

ernmest wherever the numerical force Of
your party encourages the hope Of success,
and which in the great rebellion, original

the efforts Of the Government to restore the
Union it has severed, than all the armed
hosts OF the enemy mustered upon the
battle field, since the war began.

w ASHlNoION, MAY 20.
Gen. Dix telegraphed from Fortress Mon
roe Tonight that u deSerter came into Suffolk
to-day from Franklin, who said Vicksburg had
been taken. II so, the General adds, we shall
know tomorrow with certainty. 1t may be d
mere rumor.
The following is procured from high
official source, and is the very latest from
Vicksburg, dated Memphis 1890 this A. NJ:
The dispatch is from Gen. Hurlburt. He
encloses a statement from the ordnance officer
showing the condition of affairs at o'clock
Friday night. The city was not at that time
taken. Great advantages, however, had been
gained, the enemy making firm resistance
The impression prevailed that we would take
Vicksburg the next day. We at that time
completely commanded the town. Our men
had their colors planted on the enemy's outer
works.
Our captures were 5000 prisoners and IA
pieces of artillery. The position Of our troops
was some of them within mile and half of
the Court House.
Confident of more brilliant results. 1t is
supposed there are 1000 rebel troops at
Vicksburg, who will doubtless be made pris-
oners, in the event Of the capture of the
town. The despatch further says that the
monitors and gunboats were in front of
Vicksburg hard at work.
