sheddy Mottoes.

The following are among the notices
carried by Shoddyites at the recent LINCOLN
ratification meeting in Cincinnati. When
we remember the men who carried these
notices and the character of the men and
measures they support, they are truly re-
freshing:
The Union and the Constitution.
Habeas Corpus--the traitors fiddle.
Free country, free schools, free press, free
elections, free institutions.
The Monroe doctrine.
Let Virtue, not Necessity, do away with
slavery. ,--s,.,,t-v
Slavery must either destroy the Union,
or the Union must destroy slavery.
Let no earthly power restore slavery for
any consideration.
Hell and hemp for traitors.
= None but traitors ask for Habeas Corpus.
Liberty and Union, now and forever, one
and eparable.-W ebster. N.Y.
Can he be Patriot? Shall he be our next
President? Not by d-d sight.
Bastard Sons of Ohio-Vallandigham,
Pendleton, Pugh, Long, Medary, and too
many more. L.t
The Union party never insults its politi-
cal opponents by indecent epithets or carl
| cature. 'tL
Grant flanking Lea cut of Grant
holding Lee by the posterior department,
and laying on the lash.
1t seems incredible that such jumble OF
lies, inconsistencies, ribaldry and profanity
could be paraded in civilized city and by
men pretending to be decent; yet such is
the fact. These notices were carried
at the Cincinnati LINCOLN meeting,
and are paraded in The Gdsette-with many
more of the same character-as specimens
OF loyal wit, decency, and enthusiasm.

as reported by the Stark County Demo
crat:
MIR. Letter promptly took the stand
and substantially said He was not par

not a Republican-but an ihde pendent
American citizen. He believed in the
people being honest. He who was op-
posed to the war should say ST. like man.
And those who beloved war should act
Ias though they meant what they said, and
not try to'buy up or steal cowardly ne
grdes to place in the army to sustain, or
rathert to sacrifice our brave boys. Let
those loud -nouthed war men now 60

Dr.. Franklin's Toast.

Long after the victories of Washing gten
over the French and English had ulade
his name familiar to all Europe. Dr.
Franklin CHANGED to dine with the En-
glish and French Ambassadors, when, as
nearly as the precise words can be recel-
lected, the following toast was drank
gland-Tho Sun, whose bright beams
enlighten and t'ructit, the remotest cor
ners of the earth
The French Ambassador, filed with
national pride, but being too polite to
dispute the previous toast, drank the fol
lowing:
France-The Moon, whose mild, steady
and cheering rays are the delight Of al
nations, consoing them in darkness ano
making their darkness beautiful.
DR.. Franklin then arose, and, with hi
usual digniied simplicity, said:
George Washington-The Joshua VIII,
commanded the Sun and Moon to stan,
still, and they obcyed him.

Eight hundred sick and wounded Fede-

Between the two points where the boats
land and receive their passengers, are the

exchange, but is overruled aud controlled
by MIR. StBnton. Butler, who but a short
time since favored an exchange. has be-
come decidedly opposed to it. Whether
this change has been produced by the de-
feat he received on the south side, or from
chagrin at not being nominated by the
Baltimore Convention, is not known.--y
There is still ground for hope that gen.
eral exchange will be agreed to.

The Confederate authorities have offer.
ed to exchange officer for officer aud mai

Heretofore the point of contention has
been the excess Of prisoners, our govern

tel, which required the delivery Of all
prisoners on both sides: the excess To be
on parole.
