Lincoln i'm Congress.

The Washington correspondent of
the Detroit Free Press, in speaking of
Lincoln's strength with his party in
Congress, says:
'In the Senate the two Michigan
and the two Iowa Senators will COM
plete the list Neither Sumner nor
Wilson, Morgan or Harris, Hale or
Clerk, Cowan or Sherman, Colamar
or Foote or Thumbull, the principal
leaders of the Republican party, are
favorable to him. In the House the
ratio is about the same. Except the
Illinois Republicans, and there is not
a corporal's guard friendly enough to
the President to try him for four years
more. No Senator, and but one mem
Der, has declared for him in public
speech"
The Republicans in Congress, we
presume, see that Lincoln is determin-
ed to usurp dictatorial powers, and to
dispense with them, and they are,
therefore, willing to dispense with
him.

Bg The Wheeling Register was
excluded from the Barnesville Confer
ence because it had in it an article
against Lincoln. Mr.. Davidson made
the motion. A ''pugilistic" preacher
named Holmes, whom the Register
says had an eye to the general confer
ence, moved an amendment, ssthat the
p,rper be kicked cut and the Reporter
with it. Davidson, not TO be out
done, said that the Register had no
more right to know the proceedings of
the conference than the Devil himself.
We agree with Mr.. Davidson. The
''Devil himself had the BEST right to
know the proceedings of o body show
ing their disposition. Mr.. Davidson
seems to have understood whom they
we're serving. One member boasted
having turned out hundred Cooper
heads and come short $500 on his
salary. He was rewarded with $500
from the supERANUATE fund.

Democratic stat. Convention,

Read the proceedings of the Ohio
Democratic State Convention in to-
days paper. They will be found full
of interest to every patriot as the cx-
preston of great and good party.
The ticket nominated is one of the
best ever offered to the people of the
State. Minor differences were for
gotten in the Convention, and all uni
ted with will. The whole proceed
ing will encourage every heart to re-
newed hope, and inspire with renewed
energy.
The selection of delegates to the
Chicago Convention are wise. Some
of the very best men in the party are
chosen for the State at large. Who
would be better than old Bill Allen,
and Judge Thurman, Hon. Geo. II.
Pendleton and Judge Ranney. Good
men every one of them. Mr.. Val
landigham, came within five votes of
being elected delegate, fact which
is very gratifying to his friends, as
attesting that the great hero exile is
not forgotten by the friends of Lib
erty. We suppose that it was expe-
diency that defeated him. However,
Judge Ranney is one of the ablcst men
in the State.
Now friends--Democrats, conser-
vative Republicans, lovers of Liberty
and Union-by whatever name you
may be called, set your shoulders to
the wheel. Work, work like men,
We can achieve success. Let us do it.
Let nathinp intimidate. We must car
ry Ohio this fall, and do our part to-
ward elec;ing a Democratic President
this fail. BE not timid! but show by
your actions that you are men.--Men
worthy of the Government given by
the fathers to be cherished to the las
test generation. AS you love your
country, Work. WoRK.! WORK!!! All
your interests are in the contest. If
successful, the future may have hope
if defeated, you will be robbed of lib
erty, impoverished in property, and
in the future the darkness and gloom
of the grave is all that await you.

The Wheat CrOp.

There is a great deal of complaint
about the coming wheat crop, and, as
usual, fears are entertained of a fall
ure, or, at most, a very short crop
The Ohio Farmer, writing on this SUBJ
ject, says:
'Some farmers write us that the
fields look as if the plants were entire
dead.
1t is hardly possible to judge of this
matter now, except in cases Of ridgid
winter kill, by standing water; since
as we have frequently seen, wheat on
dry fields, may show no signs of green
life and yet on the approach Of warm
weather put on color and grow fresh.
As long as the fibrous roots have
any hold in the soil, there is hope for
all fields which are not under water"

was adopted and the committee appointed.
A motion was then made to adjourn sine
die, upon which call of the counties was
had and resulted adversely to fhe motion to

| Judge Birchard, from the committee on
Resolutions, reported the following, which
were adopted in the committee of nine
! teen: ....i
RESOLUTIONS,
1st. ResolUed, That the Democratic party
is now, as it has ever been been, devoted TO
Constitution as transmitted to US by the fra
| mers OF that instrument, and eXpounded by
Jefferson, Madison and jackson, and as con
strued in the Virginia and Kentucky resolu
tions OF 1898 and 1893, and as construed in
the report thereon in the Virginia Lsgisla>
ture, and that for the maintenance of THAT
CoNsTIT TUTIoN and the preservation OF the
Union founded under it, we here, as did the
fathers Of the Republic, pledge life, fortune
and sacred honor. a- -.
q Res0lved, That we would hail with de
light any and every honorable effort toward
q restoration oil the normal condition of this
Union to wit: internal peace and harmony,
and fraternal affection between the several
States compromising it; and we regret that
the measures of the present Administration
prevent such desirable results, we are there's
fore uncompromislngy opposed to is contin
ance in power. .l.%. .'..... ...
3. Resolved, That we are opposed to the
prosecution of the war for the subjugation Of
States, or for the purpose of depriving them
Of their sovereignty. impairing their constitu-
.onal rights. and being satisfied that its
continued prosecution for such objects will
in the end prove the utter destruction Of civ
il liberty, we, therefore, demand the mme
dlate Inauguration OF peaceabo means to at
tain an honorable settlement and the resto
ration OF the Union under the Constitution
T. ReSolved. That the mob spirit OF now
abounding in our land is the natural and in
evitable result of the violations Of tho Con
stitution and the laws by the party in pow
er, and we deem this proper occasion to
renew to our people the warnings Of Wash.
ington against lawlessness in Government
and people. The tyranny ofthe present Ad-
minstration has sown the seeds from which
we are now reaping harvest OF crime.
The report OF the committee was unani-
mously adopted amid enthusiastic cheers.
The Convention then adjourned sine die,
with three cheers for the Union and the
Constitution.

that state, that no party dictation could
harness him to ideas he didn't like, and fol
this I respect him. Smart as steel and
''independant as a wood d-sawyer," he pro.
perly assumed that he was an indiridaa!

The taking of portion Of Atlanta by
the persevering Gen. SHERMAN, and the

The New York Evening Post, unquali-
fiedly Republican paper, has the following
in one Of its leading editorials in relation to.
the draft, which carries with it the SEM
blance of honesty Of expression, and with.
out seeming to fear party prescription
spits out boldly some very plain truths.
Read it:
"But the shape in which the President
has chosen to put his demand is, we are
constrained to say, pretty sure to do tho
very reverse. To threaten a peremptory
draft now, when every body believes that
the war is nearly ended to demand men
for three years when the struggle should
be and must be over in six months; to call
for half million of men when the country
had rightly or wrongly imagined that
hundred thousand would suffice to end the.
struggle; this does appear to US to misun-.
derstand the spirit of the American people.
This is apparent in the first place, be-
our enemies abroad ana at home. II VIM
be received as a confession Of weakness and
not as sign of strength; it will be re-
garded as a compliment to the resisting
power of the rebels; it will be quoted a.
an official acknowledgment that unless our.
army, already so vast, is made stronger by.
half million of men, we shall fail. In the.
second place, because, instead of stirring
the hopes and reviung the enthusiasm OF
the people, it rather depresscs them it
gives voice to the doubters, and silences.
those who never doubted before Of our sue
cess. In a great crisis like this it is impor-
tant to keep up the spirit Of our people, to.
maintain their hopefulness, to encourage.
them to new efforts. But this pr0clam0-
tion, cold. lifeless. rigid, bound round ,oith
red tape, clothed in the formal language Of
tho bureau, sounds as though its author
thought the people could bear to be chilled
and disheartened Its tone is not that Of
the chief of a republic calling upon his fel-
low citizens to support cause in which all
are alike interested, 6st rather it Is the tone.
Of a European Sorereign. telling his SUD-:

A Valuable Historical Relic.

A Valuable Historical Relic.
Mr.. Pieters, of the firm of Bennett Pie
ters & Co., this morning exhibited to us a
relic of antiquity, which is highly priced
for its historical associations.
The curiosity in question is King George
medal of 1910. 1t is Of pure silver and is
three inches in diameter. On one side is a
bust of the royal monarch, with the in.
scription, "GeOrgius Ill., Del Gratia. y
Upon the diverse is the British coat ol
arms, with its concise sentiment. The
vicisstudes of this memento may be traced
as follows:
In the struggles between the British and
Americans, prior to the revolutionary era,
King Philip, the far-famed Sacbem Of the
Pokanokets, was an ardent and effective
ally of the crown. As token of gratitude
for his services, King George caused this
medal to he made and presented to the dc.
scendants of King Philip. In one of the
terrific engagements between the Indian
tribes, this medal was captured from its
legitimate possessor, and ultimately found
its way to the immortal Red Jacket,
Chief Of the Six Nations, as munificent
gift.
The great warrior himself pierced an
aperture through its milling with his hunt.
ing knife, inserted through it a cord braided
from the hair OF an enemy's scalp, and wore
it over his heart as magic charm for many
years.
As parting gift to i,;s ply stefan and
benefactor, the noble, generous Red jacket
beaueathed the medal to DR.. Chaplin, TO-
gether with the original Indian formula
for the Red Jacket Stomach Bitters. BY
the latter gentleman they were transferred
to Messrs. Bennett Pieters & Co., Of this
city.
Mr.. Pieters values this relic almost be.
yond computation. He has frequently re-
fused princely offers for it. He intends
ultimately to present it to certain histori
cal society, to be placed among their curl
osties.

No RIGHT TO THINK.-The Philadelphia
Press, edited by one of Mr.. Lincoln's privy
counsellors, has the following: .....
It is not the business of citizen to
,pvvuis.t. ~pv.. tisO p.ol- L;a;.;~o ~f ts'~ s..-
vasion whether it is aimed at Baltimore
or Pennsylvania if the rebels are twenty
or forty thousand strong. 1t is the duty
to oppose it. ,''
. According to this new Republican creed.
the people have no right to ask questions
even though Mr.. Lincoln has denounced
as crime-their only duty is to fight, fur
nishing food for powder, while the Admin
istration will do all the thinking necessary.
If the people will only furnish men to be.
shot, and money to buy the powder. that
is all the Abolitionists ask. They will
take care that the war lasts until tho last
man and the last dollar are both gone the,
one to the grave Of the undistinguished
slain, and the other into the pocket OF
shoddy contradictory. Y. Ne,cs. -,
