having a majority OF votes IL always elected.

y. Now have you.
| r. How so2
| D. Did not John Brough before the last
election say that Vallandigham if elected
Governor Of Ohio, should not be permitted
to take his sea!Y
r. Well, suppose he did; Vallaudigham
was baaished a. traitor from the State
|, for one, would have shouldered my muss
ket to help keep him out had he bsen elec.

D. suppose you have read, Liucolns' 'ate
message to Congress aud the Proclsmat on
attached, wherein he gives power to ,s-
tenth Of the people in the rebellious Stats
to form State government, and promises to
keep them in power by the strong arm OF
the Federal Government, against all inter-
ference OF the nine s-tenth,, thus disiranchis'
ed?
R. beg your pardon. did not SO read
it in my paper. 1t said ono half.
D. What paper do you take!
r. The Coshocton Age. 3st-
D. The Age is by no means reliable pas
per. II the editor has put it in zone half"
as yen say. instead of one TENTH" it was
done to deceive the people, have no doubt.
That one man should rule nins was too glar-
ing departure form Republicanism ior sysn
Harris to swallow. Hence the alteration.
r. cannot believe that the Age editor is
such man. Let US see how other papers
have it.
D. Well here is the Phiadelphia Post
q neutral paper, believe--see what it says.
r. 1t says "one-tentA' Well, the Post IN
have no motivs in misprlnting the matter.---
| will have 10 own up the corn. l think ls
must have been an over sight in Harris
He would certainly not have made the altgr-
alton to deceive the people. II he did, and
find it out, am done with him.
d. 1t wou ld'nt be the first time he has
deceived his readers. But we are DEPRESSING.
| said could prove that Lincoln and Brough
are no republicans, yourself being the Judge.
Haven't done it?
r. must cone that the light in which
you represent the conduct Of eur President
and Governor elect, exhibits them in an
an tirepublcan aspect, but some allowance
must be made for than. when we consider
the peculiar situation ia which they are pla-
ced.
d. No excuse can bs made for giving oas
man the power to rule nine in republic
nor was their any excuse for the President
commanding or allowing the soldiers who
volunteered to fight the rebels, to turn their
weapons against their fathers and brothers
in the border and other States, to keep them
away from the polls, thus making the elsc-
| tive franchise fought and bled for by our ans
c.stors, mockery AMI a bye word, and in-
ducing the rebels to take advantage, Is they
did, OF the absence OF Thousands oil forlough-
ed s,lders sem hom, uader oath pledge or
promise to vote the so-called Republican
ticksl--and thsy ( ha rebsls) did pounce up
on our weakened lines at the time, causing
thousands of our Union soldiers to bits the
dust who would have remained unmolested
but for thes unprecedented, wicked and ui-
justiliable abstraction of men from their du-
ty. And as for Brough, was it so essential
that he should be elected Governor OF Ohio,
as to justify him in threatening to inaugu-
rate war in our midst ii he failed, and his
opponent should assume to fulfil the duties
OF tn. Office, at the demand OF the majority
Of the voters OF the State? ta.s,,s si
Il Excuse me, Mr.. --, am in some<
what Of hurry to day. We may nest
