ONO ELECrIoS.-The following from the
Appeal takes the wind completely out of the
sails of the Copperhead craft in this State:
The Copperhead press have made a great
ado about the soldiers vote, in Ohio, charging
that Brough was elected by fraud committed
under the act allowing soldiers to vote. The
official returns show that Joha Brough
was elected by twenty one thous
and majority without q single soldiers vote.
The Democratic Press, aud Express have
footed their copper horns very loudly on this
point, charging fraud aud forcing the soldiers
to vote for BrOugh when they would have vo-
ted for hat persouifca'ion of treason, Y allan

misstatements, and give their readers the fact?

The Vice President ON SubjuSa
tiOn.


It was a principle with Gen. Jackson to
"ask for nothing that is not clearly right,
and to submit to nothing wrong" what we
claim for ourselves we should expect will be
claimed by others. Would it not be well
for Mr. Hamlin to read the following extract
from his speech on the Lecompton Consti-
tuition, delivered in the Senate March 9and
TO- 1868, to those who control Mr. lincoln ?
Mr. Hamlin said: "If Congress shall under
take, in its power, to force Constitution
and State Government upon that people,
when it has only right to admit States,
not to make them, they are a people who
are only fit to be slaves; and they will only
be slaves if they do not resist it to the last
extremity. put it to any Senator, and l
ask him what would he do, standing in a
community where he knew Federal bayO-
nets were about to force upon him Gov
ernment which was to deprive him of his
rights? ask any one who is about to vote
for this great wrong, what would he do?
Would he not resist it to the bitter end, and
to the last extremity? If he wouldnot the
blood of the Anglo-Saxon race does not
circulate in his veins. | believe they will
do what is their duty and they do,
only desire to add, that the responsibility
must be with those who have placed them
in such an emergency. If men fight for
their domestic affairs, you must not COM
plain of them for doing it, when you have
forced that emergency upon them; nor, let
me add, must you blame those who shall
rally to their support" ae-gc,i ,1id

THE MATRIMONIAL FoUNTAIN-The Lon
don Court Journal, referring to the visit of
the Empress to Swalbach, says: The waters
of Swalbach are known all over Continental
Europe for their gentle influence over the
married portion of the fair sex; indeed, the
famous Ehebrunnen Cor marriage spring.,
to which the youthful matrons of every
class, from the Empress to the peasant wo-
man, crowd in such numbers during the
season, is strictly forbidden to the unmar-
ried; and it is one of the merry sights of
Swalbach to behold the fair maidens look
ing on with envy in sad and isolated groups,
while the joyous laughter of merry matrons
gathered round the source echoes with ring
ing peals through the grove, and the jinglng
of the glasses, and the confidential whis-
perings going on between the sly v0taries
of This generous Hygeia, give to this par
ticular Brunnen the aspect of one OF those
classic founts of ancient Greece whence the
sparkling waters exhilarated the spirit, and
produced oblivion of past sorrows, with
bright and cleaning hope of the future. Is
it to this particular fount that her Majesty

Death of Nudge HAYWARD.

Judge Elijah Hayward was buried at
McConneisyille, on the 25th of September
He was not far from his eightieth year
when he died.
Judge Hayward was born, I'M Massachu-
sets, of ancient Puritan stock. In youth,
he assiduously improved his mind, and.
embracing the profession of law, he crossed
the Atlantic, and ate through several terms
at Lincoln's Inn, London. Returning to
the United States, he emigrated to Ohio,
fifty years ago. During some epidemic at
Cincinnati he fell dangerously i'll, and was
nursed to health by the Sisters Of Charity.
His mind was directed to an investigation
| of the Roman Catholic religion by this cir
cumstance; he became a convert to its
teachings, and thenceforward he professed
that faith. aI
About 1897, he was elected a Senator
from Hamilton county. In 1880, he was OIL
the Supreme Bench of Ohio. Not long
after, President jackson appointed Judge
Hayward Commissioner of the General Land
Office, at Washington--a position he held
until his habits became so irregular as to
demand his removal. He came back to
Ohio, and spent most of the remainder
of his life at McConnelsville. In 1850,
Gov. Wood secured him the Office of State
| Librarian, and he continued in that posi-
tion for perhaps two years.
So far back as 1S25-30, Judge Hayward
was identified with the press in Cincinnati,
and he assisted Moses Dawson in the con-
duct of The Cincinnati Advertiser. He
wrote with remarkable accuracy and affiu-
ence of language; and, withal, was a man
ly, honorable, generous opponent. Thls
however, was but in strict keeping with
his character-that of warm-hearted, lib
eral, honest man. His traits were such as
secured the regard of all who approached
him; he was beloved wherever known;
but, unfortunately, he had one failing that
detracted from the reverence which his
qualities of heart and head would have in
spired. He was long slave to strong
the gentleman he was by nature, and the
scholarly man he had become by culture of
powers not often granted to men, he yet
could forget the dignity of his powers, and
left us but to surmise tohat he might haze been.

AS LONG AGO as 1S4S, man in Congress
made the following barefaced statement,
showing that the 'cOpperhead" spirit is not
the growth of the last four years, but dates
much farther back:
"Any people, anywhere, being inclined,
and having the power, have the right to
rise up and shake off the e1isttng government
and form new one that suits them better
Nor is this right confined to cases
in which the people of an existing govern
ment may choose to exercise it.
AM portion of such people that can may
revolutionize, and may make their own OF
so much territory as they inhabit. More than
this, majority of any portion of such peoo-
pie may revolutionize, putting down a mi
nority, intermingling with or near about
them, who may oppose their movements"

Congress, Jan. 18th, 1s4s. See Apr. Congress

MExIco.-An incredible riimor reaches
us from Mexico. A special agent of Juarez
has brought the intelligence that General
Miramon has issued pronunciamento
against Maximilian, taken one half of the
City of Mexico, and appealed to the people
to sustain him and drive out the INVADER
He Is said to have acted in concert with the
Archbishop of Mexico. This news, not
withstanding the high authority which is
given for 1t, will probably prove untrue
Miramon has. SO fully identified himself
with the cause of the Empire, that he will
hardly dare to change front again. The
Archbishop of Mexico, on the other hand

imilian, SO long as the latter manages to re-
main on good terms with the Pope.

The Crime of Refusing to Rein
force Of
the n. ". Tribune.

We have charged that it was an associa-
ton of political assassins and cutthrOats
who cOnspired to prevent reinforcements
being sent to Mcclellan in that dark hour
of peril to the national cause, when the
brave leader was ordered to retreat, with
victory just within his grasp. Is our Ian
guage too strong? If any one doubts, let
him read the following extract from the
letter of Samuel Wilkeson, one of the edi-
tors of The New York Tribune, dated "On
the march through the White Oak Swamp,
June 2S, 1862" After detailing the bril-
liant strategic movement by which the base
of great army was changed in twelve
hours, Mr.. WilkesOn says: D.s
"'The world will regard it as mastery
stroke of genius. The army will SO regard
1t, and will feel for its commander the ad-
miration and gratitude that saviors OF men
ever enkindle in loyal hearts.
'.But the brilliancy of this movement
will not for an instant dazzle the eyes of
the wronged and wrathful men of the
Army of the Potomac, nor will it dazzle
the sight of the angry people so as for a
moment to obscure their perception of the
crime against the nation, aol,ich has made this
change of base and front tn,pertoasly necessary.
The CRIME Is THE REFUSAL TO REINFORCE
MCCLELLAN.
"When loyal New York regiments, lifted
from their feet by the fire of the rebel bri-
gades, cry out of their wounds and death
for help-when the choicest of New Eng
land, Michigan and Pennsylvania troops
outnumbered i'm front and on both fanks,
beg for reinf0rcements, say the blackest
crime that power can commit is to stalk
upon the field of peril and say: Soldiers,
have no faith in your commander, let your
martyrdom proceed And so says this
Army of the Potomac. And it registers to-
night vows of vengeance as it marches in
the dark from a position which their dimin-
ished numbers disabled them from holding,
but which is consecrated to them forever
by their sufferings, their labors and their
wrongs. The politicians and statesmen aoho
left as here to be outhumbered and cat of from
supplies and the possibility Of retreat are doomed

THAT HOTEL BILL IN RIcHMoND-The
Richmond Wing states that Gilmore and
Jaques left Richmond without paying their
hotel bill, and that the same has just been
cashed by the rebel Secretary of War--N'
Y. Euening Post.
AS the two worthless visited Richmond
for the purpose of securing ground upon
which to build partisan capital for Lincoln,
and as the ''engineers of disunion" are now
as they were four years ago, conspiring to
secure Lincoln's election, it is perhaps
equally fair that the rebel government
should stand their hotel expenses.

nearly ain hour through the aperture. He
was taken down after bleeding TO death.
