THE OHIO LEGIsLATURE.

This virtuous and intelligent body of men are
OF again. They went up to Cleveland on Sat
urdaT to give encouragement to the Sanitary
Fair at that place. They only cost the gov
eminent about $500 a day cash, and will be
back in three or four days. They get their tick
friends, and thus make it pay.
They were in session but a few days the
past week, and rushed through a bill increas-
ing the taxes some three millions OF dollars,
but as It was for loyal purposes the amount is
nothing. They have other tax bills which
they have resolved on passing which will run
up our State taxes from 81, 100000 to, at the
lowest estimate, 1922, 000, 000i The bill for
the relief Of soldiers families is now a law.
It levies two mills on the dollar by the State
and authorizes the County Commissioners to add
ona mill, making three mills in all.
Tbev increased the sinecure of the Superin-
fendent of Public Printing from $500 toS8O0
4 wear. and took the appointing power from
- Seeretsrv of Siass State Comptroller and
Auditor and gaves.it to nd Governor, Tor tear

Yet they still hold the State officers respon-
sfble for hz conduct.

ss-H DWELL Cobb lately made a speech a

@rEH
Atlanta, Georgia, in which he said:
"Do you look forward with some hope to
what has been termed the Conservative ele-
ment of the North, and expect to be preserved
and protected by it from Lincoln's. power and
dominion z Danish that fatal delusien - Con-
servatism at the North lies PROSTATE In the
dust. In their mad effort to take away our
liberties they have lost their own. They are
as pcwerless to aid you rs they are to protect
themselves. You must either submit to Liz
coin and Abolitionism, or by your own unaid ed
arm, with the blessing of a kind Providence,
win your liberty ana your Independence
Think not that there is a power at the North
to restore to yo1 the Constitution and the
Union as they were.
What a shame and crime that the trading
leaders of the Democratic party have placed
it so near in line with Lincoln's party that 1t
must appear to the people of the South that
there really iszno party in the North to sand
by the old Constitution and Unicn! If. there
were, and the people Of the South believed it
it woald do more towards bringing these
States back than all of Lincoln's bayonets
multiplied by the number of dollars his party
has stolen from the Treasury. Ought not
this speech of Cobb's to arouse the Democrat
ic masses to refuse to be led another inch on
the war path !? Let us have q thorough or
ganized party here that the southern people
can look to for justice and peace in the Union.
Let us have a party that will take from MIR.
Cobb the right to say that everything is Lin
colnized in the North.

How Lincoln Thunder is made.

It vas lately announced, with a grand flour
ish Of trumpets, in. the ~"loyal" Abolition pa
pers, that the Republican members of the Penn
sylvania Legislature had signed a paper, rec
omendingthe denomination of Abraham Lin
coin for tine Presidency. This expression of
: sentiment, which was wholly unlocked for was
procured in this wise: It seems that a GER
tain prominent Abolition politician in Penu-
sylvania, made application for a lucrative ap-
pointmeut at Washington; but was told, as a
condition precedent" to HIM receiving the
Office, that he must go back to Pennsylvania,
and procure the recommendation from tie Leg
~isiature alluded to. This mission was duly ex-
ecuted. What amount of 'sgreenbacks" was
furnished from the ssecret service fund.- to
oroEn with success the undertaking it is not
stzted; but probably a sum at least equal to
that paid by the seoundrel Cameron. to get 4
vote for u. s.. Senator. At all events, Old
Abe got the recommend" he demanded, and
his friend duly received the appointment he
asked fori What a nice arrangement that was
all around!-M. Vernon. Banner.
IF one Office controlled the entire Repubil-
can force of the Pennsylvania Legislature
there is nothing strange in the fact that the
immense number of official positions controlled
byLINcoLN succe sded in beating VALLAxDIa-
Ham in Ohio. And yet again, this immense
power thus di honestly used may be sufi cient
to carry the next Presidential eleetional.

reiterated profession of an old one. When
L say that there is no one who cherishes
greater regard for the Union, who has a
higher sense of its insstimable benefits, who
would more earnestly labor for its restora-
ton by all means which will effect that end

Of the peace power, the prosperity of this
people, and no man would deprecate more
heartily or oppose more persistentlythe es-
tablishment of another Government over

The firing of the names of the candi-

The Presidents reply to the Tennes-

these dispatches week ago, and takes a
ground, then, viz: It makes a very little
difference who does or does not go through
the form of voting for President. Of

other rebel State, will be counted.

to fight the enemy at home with ballots,
which they would do with hearty good
will, and then return to their positions, and
with bullets open out again on the foe be-
