Out for VaiIandigham.

The Wellesville Patriot has discover.
ed that the present is an epoch in our
political history, when a man who is ra-
tional and possesses as much political
power as resides in a ballot, cannot con-
sistentl y with patriotism and a good
conscience, remain a neutral. Accord :
ing,y, it dofis its hitherto stoutly EN- bra
ced non combatism, and comes out square
ly and manlully and takes position
in the Democratic ranks, and hoists the
name OF Vallandigham and the Demo
cratic ticket. 1t is thus that friend
Clark defines his position:
Heretofore we have endeavored to
print in common parlance, neutral
paper, but the days of neutrality are
over When but two questions present
themselves to the American people-a
tyrant's rule, severed Union and a de-
vastated country; or restored Govern
ment with all the safeguards of personal
liberty secured, no man, unless he has
lost all sense to manhood and inJepen.
dence, and is willing to become an mum
ble suppliant at the foot of tyrant' $
throne, can hesitate which side to es-
pouse. Our Union must be maintained,
despite the Vaccinations of wicked and
corrupt men, and we can see no way by
which those noble structures, reared by
our fathers are to be perpetuated, unless
the people in their ma aiesty hurl from pow
er the dominant party, who, for two years
have cursed the nation and ground tn,
people to powder. We then, as al
American citizen, and publisher of al
independent and untrammeled journal
without consulting any master, or beint
forced to obey any set of men from mer
bread and butter considerations, thi
day hoist the name Of that pure patrio
and incorruptible statesman, Honorabl

Henry Laurens was President of the

his way he was captured and imprisoned
in the Tower of London. for fourteen

Handouts for Freemen.

A few days ago we saw in the streets
of this fair city sight calculated to fill
every heart with horror. Walking be-
tween file of soldiers, in one of our
most crowded thoroughfares, were five
whae freemen, handcuffed and strongly
guarded by their military escort. Over
the iron manacles that bound the rists
of several were thrown handkerchiefs;
and the downcast look and sorrowing ey
of the conScripts told how deeply they
felt the degradation they were compelled
to suffer. These men had committed no
crime. Their names had been drawn
from the fatal wheel; and, in the agony
of doubt whether they should remain
with their loved ones in these sore times
of want and trial or eagerly march to
fill the ranks Of the army, on this "war
for the African and his race" They had
not promptly reported to the Provost
Marshal's Office, and were called deSerters.
This sight, we are informed, is no extra
ordinary one. 1t is Of frequent and al
most hourly Occurrences. Compelled to
suffer the grossest indignities, thousands
are daily tortured with the CALLING
thought that in this land Of freedom they
must meet the fate Of slaves. But, be
patient 4 few weeks more only must
pass away, before the freemen of Penn
sylvania vii have an opportunity OF
shifting at the ballot oox the miscreants
who are now striving to deprive hem OF
their liberties. In going to the polls, re-
member, freemen, that the Abolitionists
of this proud city have forged handouts
for white men and given shoulder straps
to negroes !-Phika. Age.

'she Prospect.

Unless all the indications are decep-
tive, the Democracy will carry Ohio by
a tremendous majority on the 18th Of
October. We have visited nearly all
parts of the State since the beginning of
campaign, and have carefully read the
papers OF both parties, and the many let
ters that we daily receive, and are thus
enabled to assure our readers, that the
prospect is of the most encouraging
character. 1t is indeed cheering to OBJ
serve, that in every county hosts of men
who have never voted the Democratic
ticket, ara acting with our party, and
will vote for Nallandigham, Pugh anC
Liberty There is scarcely a township
in the State where this fact is not admi.
ted and recognized by even the Brougl
managers. Every hour adds new con
yerts to the great army of patriot
Union loving men, who are alike hos
tile to the rebels of the South and tn
revolutionists OF the North, and VIII
will aid in electing the Democratic tick
ct.
Quite number OF papers that sup
ported Tod in 1861 and opposed Dem
ocracy last year, are now doing splendi.
and effective service for our cause ane
our candidates. 1t was only the Other
day. that the Gallipolis DisPa!cA, which
had been against US ever since the wal
began, came out for Vallandigham and
our entire ticket Many new papers
have been started since the beginning oi
the campaign. that are devoted to Dem.
ocracy aud Freedom. In all the annals
of political contests in this country, the
Democratic press has never before been
so able and so efficient as it is in this most
extraordinary canvass. \ few more
days OF labor, and victory will crown
our efforts - Statesman.

Beeeher ID Brenkfast.

An English correspondent, (says the
Boston Journal, writes that Henry Ward
Beeeker left London, on the 9th inst, for
Paris and Switzerland, and that, in despite
Of the pressure brought to bear upon him,
he declined al invitations to speak. But,
participating one day in " g temperance
breakfast given in his honor at the Lon
don Goffee-house," he yielded just for that
once, provided no reporters were pres
ent." The following particulars were gath
cred from one Of the guests: Edward
Bains, NJ P. for Leeds, took the chair, and
in q very feeling address welcomed Mr..
Beecher for the second time TO this country,
stating that he once had the honor of re-
ceiying his father as guest. He spoke of
Mr. Beeeher's position in America, Of Mrs.
Stowe, of temperance, the war, and aboli-
ton. To this Mr.. Beecher responded char
acteristically, in a blended strain Of hu-
NOR, pathOs and colloquialism, delightful
to all present. Other speeces were made,
and everything proceeded pleasantly, until
some body had the bad taste to allude to
American affairs in an anti-U Union spirit.
This brought Mr. Beeeher to his feet again,
and he electrified his auditors by perfect
burst Of eloquence on the subject of Eng
lands attitude toward the United States,
during the rebellion, charging the Aboi-
tionists Of Great Britain with being false
to their principles, inconsistent, and def
cient in backbone. Americans had hoped
not for material, but moral eountensnce
from England, he asserted; she might
have achieved so much at the sacrifice Of
SO little, but appeared delibsFately to choose
the worst part. Beecher Completely car
ried away the feeling Of the meeting with
him, and earnest hopes were expressed
that he would address public meeting.
