The last hope Of the Union is involved
In the success Of the Democratic party in
the next election. Every man who loves
the Union and hates aboliEonism every
man who loves the Union more than he
loves sbolitionism; and every man Who
loves the Union more than he hates abo.
Hionism, should work earnestly and ss-
gaoiously to defeat the nominee Of the Bal
tmore convention, and promote the success
OF the candidate who may be nominated
in the Chicago Convention.
Such is the language Of the most noto-
ricus Of the Western Copperhead Journals.
While oOndomning the position of Alex
ander Long, it yet urges sll Democrats,
whatever their political convictions, to
unite in the work Of eleeting Mcclellan.
These followers Of the little General, once
In power, would be compelled either to
Sabmit to disunion or to just such q war
policy as that insugurated by the Admin
istration. They may fOndle slavery and
denOunce abOlitionism for the sake Of get
ting into power, but no progress in the
prosecution Of the war could be achieved
without destroying slavery. All this
Whimpering about Abolitionism is there
fore the silliest Of COpperhead tWaddle.

The Congressional Committee has issued
q call fOr Convention to be held in this
city on the 18Th Of Mey. This Convention
is to elect one Presidential ElectOr andtwo
delegates to represent this district in the
Baltimore Convention. The primary meet
inRs for the election Of delegates toIthis
Convention, are appointed for the 18th Of
May. Cuys5ogs county is entitled to no
delegates; Summit, to 42; and Lake, O29.
The call is sufficiently comprehensive
for al earnest loyal men. 1t is based upon
the patriotic platform Of athe uncsndi-
tional maintsnsnoe Of the Union, the su-
premscy Of the Constitution, and the com
plete suppression Of the existing rebellion,
with the cause thereof, by a vigorous pros
ecution Of the war, and all apt and sufi-
eient means"
We urge upon all loyal men the necessi-
ty Of paying strict attention to the prima-
" meetings on the 18th Of May. The men
g who are selected to come to Cleveland on
The 18th Of May are to determine who is
the preference Of this important district
for the next Presidency. Wehave no doubt
what that preference viii be. Abrsham
Lincoln is the Observation-Disclosures of the
people Of Ohio, and nothing but political
intrigue and working can defeat that
choice. See to it, therefore, that your del
egates are the right men.

Hare are aver seven hundred millions Of

Hare are over seven hundred millions Of
Government currency afoat. But some
may contend that two year Treasury notes
and certificates Of Indebtedness do not
circulate as money, but are boarded or put
up as collsterals for currency. This may
be true to a certain extent. Nevertheless,
they are used in large transactions to pay
debts and purchase property, az freely as
any other cNrrency. But leaving them
out Of the calculation, there are S452, ,000,-
coo legal tenders in the hands Of the peo-
pie. And the National Banks are incress-
ing their issues every day. They are al
lowed to expand to $780, 100000; and if
that be not enough to supply the currency
wants Of the country, Secretary Chase will
give the public all the greenbseks needed.
Drive out the four hundred millions Of un-
constitutional Wildcats, and an equal
amount Of greenbaoks will be issued to fill
the vacuum, if they are required by the
commerce IF the country.

sound views on the Currency Question.

Sound Views on the Currency Question:
The following from the N. 7. Tribune
embodies good common sense views on the
currency question:
We are confident that two-thirds of the
people to-day wish there we're no paper
issues in circulation or authorized but
those Of the Government. The State
Banks Of our city would to-day vote to
abolish all Bank notes and circulate the
issues Of the Government alone. So would
the strongest snd Oldest Banks throughout
the country. Those which are mere sHe'
lion pumps for borrowing money from the
community, instead Of lending IL would, Of
course, protest, and talk as if the world
was coming to an end; but the best thing
to do to-day is to provide by law for
grsdusl and thorough withdrawal Of Bank
notes from circulation, leaving greenbscks
the only paper currency in the country.
We heartily agree with this statement
and believe the country ct large are hear
tily tired and sick Of the suction pumps,
It is sometimes remarked that if the
wild cat circulation were taxed out Of ex-
istence, the circulation of the country
would not be sufficient. The Chicago Tri-
bune makes the following statement and
remarks;
This is not true; but any deficit there
may be, can be very easily supplied. The

pie on the 18th Of March, was as follows

DEsERTERs.

Deserters from the rebel army are con-
stsntly coming in, bringing all sorts Of
pslstsble tales for Federal ears. Too
much importance has been attached by the
Northern press TO these sweet morsels Of
intelligence. As rule, deserters are far
from being competent witnesses. The
latest story is that the rebel army in our
front is on the verge Of starvation, and
comes as near the truth, no doubt, as the
pleasant rumor we had before the battles
Of November, that the enemy in sight on
the Ridge we're half fsmished, when tie

A Professional Man on the Strikers

When the printers made the recent strike In
Boston, q professional gentleman came into
our Office and enquired for the proprietor.
We responded that we were the individual.
He then said that he had learned that the prin-
ters had made strike; that in his Judgment
the strike was wrong and wicked; that it was
an attack on the part of a few to control the
proprietors ofnewspapers in an illegal and
uDjustifable manner; that such an unholy
combination should be frowned down by ev-
cry right minded man In the community, an d
more to the same effect. "Yes, sir" he con-
tinued, sit is high time that all kinds OF rebel
lion should be put down effectually and for
ever.o He was ready to assist to accomplish
this desirable end. The people, said he, must
maintain the integrity of the nation and the
great business interests Of the world. He was
formerly printer himself, and could take his
stand at the case adm set up type as in days
Of yore Yes, sir, he was ready to take off
his coat and again perform hard labor.n We
expressed our delight to the professional gen.
tleman for the offer of his services, stating that
we were sadly in want of help and that he
should be Immediately assigned stand and
permanent situation, If he desired it. We'll, be
said he would work for fifteen or twenty min

would be content with the usual pay for the
composition If we would charge him nothing
for the publication of the same. We replied
that his kindness so completely overwheImed
us that we must take time to codsider bis lib

would give him the notice thereof.

The National Thanksgiving was observed
Yesterday, by the absence Of drills and entire
fatigue duty, by the reading of the Presidents
Proclamation and by appropriate religious
services in regiments where there were Chap
lains, and by partaking OF the generous gifts
of friends in the distance, and thus reminding
them and us of the "fruitfulness OF the sea-

It was an occasion for grateful and pleasant
memories, and while we thought of home,
did we not have proof that the absent soldier
was not forgotten? Quickened by such
thoughts, have written this iong letter, for
which you and your readers may not be uery
grateful. - ~ f.-. 1.
