are not such bad reading. Mr.. David A.

Our Strength, or comprehensive and popu-

ing thunder, most terrific report was heard
as if one of the Wierd rife cannon of the
largest calibre had been fired in our imme-
date vicinity. Rushing to the window, we
observed shower of small splinters flying
through the air. The lightning had struck
the tall flag staff on the American aotel
and shivered it to atoms. The fluid passed
down the staff until it came to an iron band
near the roof, when it jumped on the tin
roofing and passed off without doing any
other injury. There was no further light
ming or rumbling noise followed the report,
but everything was quiet and noiseless as
before.

The True Policy.

"In this National emergency, Congress,
banishing all feelings of mere passion and
resentment, will recollect only its duty to
the whole country; that this war is not
waged on their part in any spirit Of oppres-
sion or for any purpose Of conquest or sub
jngation, or purpose of overthrowing or
interfering with the rights or establis he'd
institutions Of tbose States, but to defend
and maintain the supremacy Of the Oonsti-
tuition, and to preserve the Union, with all
the dignity, equality, and the rights of the
several States unimpaired; and that as soon
as these objects arc accomplished the War
ought to cease"

which will prevent its growing to be ma

In 1862, less than two years ago, after a
political campaign in which the charge Of
"disloyalty" had been brought against ey
ery member of the Democratic party, by
the Administration orators and organs, just
as aippanty as the supporters OF McCLEL.
Lam are now accused of treason, Secretary
SEWARD wrote to CHARLES Francis ADAMS,
our Minister to England, as follows;
1t will suffice to say that while there may
be men of doubtful political wisdom and
virtue in each party, and while there may
be difference Of opinion between the two
parties as to the measures best calculated
to preserve the Union and restore its au-

confident of the stability of the Union that
partisan combinations are resuming their
sway here, Is they do in such cases in oil
free countries. In this country, especially:
it 10 habit not only entirely consistent with
the Constitution, but even essential to its
stability, to regard the administration at
any time existing as distinct and separable
from the government itself, and to canvass
the proceedings Of the one without the
thought Of disloyalty to the other.
For electioneering purposes, the Repub.
licau party always raises the cry of dis
loyalty" treason "copperheadism,' &C.,
against its opponents, but it is very careful
to notify foreign nations that all these &C:
cusations are false and that no "cons;ders-
bic portion of the people of the loyal Ststes
is disposed to accept disunion, under any
circumstances, or upon any TERMS" Some,
at least, Of the Republicans have sense
enough left to see that, if the Wholesale and
sweeping charges Of completely and sympa-

fond of alleging against the Democrats, were
really true, the rebels would number two
or three to their one, and would very soon
wipe them off from the face OF the earth.

CoNrEMpT1BLE.-Ever since the McClel,
Ian and Pendleton flag has been floating to
the breeze across the avenue from the hall
of the National Democratic Association,
the various regiments, in passing under it,
have been in the habit Of cheering vocifer
ously and completely tabooing the Lincoln
flag above Ninth street. Some one in au-
thority, to stop this popular enthusiasm
among the soldiers, has ordered the troops
to pass up and down d street. This will
not have a particle of effect as Mcclellan
flags will be thrown across all the streets
running east and west so as to give the sol>
diers q chance to ventilate their feelings.

Mr. Chairman and Fsllo,o, Citizens:
After the exhaustive speech of my ven-
cradle friend who has Just finished ad
dressing you, I feel that anything l might
add to his remarks would be superfuous.-
But Is I come from the forest, where
every breeze that passes the pines Of the
Northwest, where, indeed, everything
breathes for Mcclellan and victory, I feel
that must say something to you. (Oheers.
The audience before me is the largest that
I ever saw. / have often heard of sea Of
faces, but this gathering, my friends, looks
like vast wilderness of patriots. (Oheers. J
! greet you with good will and tidings OF
good cheer. The rural districts will do
their duty, but you can do much to stem
the tide of official corruption and mad
fanaticism. (Cheers) 1 hope it will not
offend my friends of the Republican party
to know that was appointed member oil
the Republican State Committee. l also
held the position of Assistant Collector for
jefferson County under the present Ad
ministration. and resigned both positions
because the Republican party desired Of
me Standardization. (Cheers.) 1 have
not in my possession very much of this
worlds goods, but poor as am, am free
to say that this Administration has not
greenbacks enough to purchase my free
expression of opinion. lOheers.) The
first vote cast was for Henry Clay, ore
of the purest of statesmen, whose soul
trust now rests in Heaven. My life, as
before said, was spent in opposition to the
Democratic party, but when those who op.
pose that party violate the rights of the
people-when the Republican Administra
ton of Abraham Lincoln directly violate
and even condemn the laws of the nation
then am against them, / left the Repub
lican party because l religiously believe
that the Union can only be saved by the
Democratic and Conservative citizens Of
this country. 1 conjure all by the love
they bear tie land of freedom, by their
God, by every fond attachment on earth, to
Join US in our good work. still feel that
my country is J ct to be saved, and that the
wisdom Of our people will conduct us safely
