Local and State News.

LAST Wee the Republicans Of thiS city
held a political! parade, earning bahners,
notices, &c, many of the latter of which
were iptepdeda s insults to Democrats, the
true friends of the Union. But no Demo
crat thought SO little Of himself as to re.
sent in any way, at the time, the insult.
Ia no manner did the opposition 70 Adolf.
tionism disturb the Republicans il their
performances. But, yesterday, tho tcsse
KS very different. The shonest, pvt-iotic,
and hard isted farmers, mechanics and
lab,rers who composed our procession were
frequently Jhissedd at as TRAITORS
"Tbieves;" and in Ritchietown, q pack o.
boris were put forward tv offer insults to
the honest old men, the ladies and Others,
who were taking part in our demonstra.
ton. A collision was sought to be plo-
voked, and the poor apologies for men who
tried it came very near being sue
c~essful, In East Wheeling an attack upon
the procession was also made, and in DIFF
ferent parts of town insults offered. :,
Thank God, and thanks to the noble
and gallant Democrats, the Abolition ruff
fans have a monopoly Of that kind of ar
gurnent, as their candidate for President
has a majority of the smutty jokes and
dishonest and obscene practices:
The friends of iMcOLrLLAN and the
Union can ven afford to appeal to truth,
reason, and the purityAaof)the character Of
their candidate to support their cause

a terrible blow about the display ofFriday
ui.yhr, when the Abolitionists appeared by
torch light. It claimed that every other
house IN the city was either illuminated or
displayed bunting. Yesterday proved the
truth OF the statement of the shoddy organ
Bunting was displayed yesterday. There
were more flags out on Main street alone
when the Mcclellan procession passed, than
Their was in the whole city on Friday.
Other streets were eqaally well represented
The flags displayed yesterday were bought
by those who displayed them. There was
no "Cluh" arrangement.

DoEs THE CRY BUILDING BELONG TO TIKI
LlNcoLNIrEs.-Yesterday Mayor Crangle
aud tie City Clerk refused to let a flag be
tut out Of the City Building. The gentle
mana member of the City Council-who
wished to raise the flag, did not wish to
place any device upon it, but merely wished
to float the banner. He was denied the
privilege Last Friday night the Lincoln
ties displayed a flag from the building, and
no Mcclellan man objected. The question
to be decided by our citizens is simply this:
Does the city belong to, or shall it be
controlled by the Lincolnites ?" Tax pay
ers can answer at the ballot-box in q few
months.

of whom eleven are for Nova Scotia, ten for

These are to be selected from the exist

The representation in the Lower House
of the Federal Legislature is TO be accord>
ing to population, periodically ~rearranged.
The Constitutions will be such that the
power will reside in the central Legislature.
The provinces will have few separate rights.
It ID decided that the whole scheme shall
be submitted to the existing Pariiaments
in all the colonies, without . direct refer
ence to the people, which Is Q very summa
~ measure, a. none Of the Parliaments
were elected with reference to this quea-

1t is believed that Ottawa will DO the
