The official reports from the various ar
mics of the past week give almost all the
credit to the negroes for bravery and hard
fighting. White soldiers must be fast de-

fighting, but escaped themselves from cap

Fremont Meeting I'm New Work
Civ

The Fremont supporters in New York
City, held a preliminary meeting last week
to organize and hold great ratification
meeting at an early day The speeches
made were very violent on Old Abe for his
arbitrary conduct-imprisoning American
citizens without law, without trial and
against all the principles which govern free
people. They denounced him for his reck-
less sacrifice of human life and waste of the
peoples treasure. for personal and ambitious
purposes, and thus carrying on a war to re-
elect himself to the second term instead of
to save the nation. Their charges were
bold, damaging and defiant They resolved
on free speech and the right to investigate
his acts and hold him up to the public judy
ment with all the freedom Of public polt-
lcal canvass.
Mr. Lincoln, backed as he is by set of
political plumbers, cannot stand before a
rigid examination into his nefarious acts
His advisers understand this, and hence
they are urgingihim to stihe public discuss
ion by arbitrary force = Crisis.

The Democratic National Com
yPmdkOM al Chicago,

The Chicago Times has pictorial cut
representing the building in which the Dem
ocratic National Convention will be held in
that city, on the 4th of July next. 1t is a
temporary edifice erected for the occasion,
and will be the largest structure ever raised
in Chicago. The Times says:
THE building will be of gigantic proper
tions, measuring 62S feet in circumference,
and 200 feet in diameter, and planned to af
ford ample room for $4,000 people. EXter
nally there will be little to attract the eye
The National colors displayed in profusion
from numerous stats rising around the roof
will be the only ornamcntation visible.
.'Ihe inclosure Of the immense amphi-
tbeater will be twenty two feet high. The
roof, at its highest or central point, will be
elevated thirty-seven feet above the ground.
1t will slope gradually until it falls to an ele-
vation Of twcnty-cight feet.
The roof is here broken for the purpose
of ventilation, the remaining part commenc-
ing from point four feet below the over
tapping cornicc, which foms the circumfer-
ence of the central or largest division Of the
building, and from there sloping gradually
to the outer limits of the structure The
whole will be entirely covered with patent
felt roofing 50 that even the continued re-
currence Of the heaviest thunder shower
will not interfere with the comfort of the
Convention.
The Chicago D, mocrats in this matter
are displaying an enterprise that reflects
great credit upon their public spirit.

THE WAY TO THRIVE.

He that by the plough would thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive"
Tlus Franklin wrote these words of truth,
When "Uncle Sam" was in his youth,
Or, perhaps, some time before,
Say ninety years ago or Dre,
No matter when, the maxims true,
And just as good aS though twas now.
Few men, who by rheif wits would thrive,
Can soul and body keep'alivc;
They change their place, but keep the pain,
And to the world are 10 great gain,
Franklin, quite likely, did not mean
That they should ''hold or drive the team i,
But left them out, favored class,
So, with the sage, III let them pass.
But men who hold Il higher station,
The bone and slnew of the nation,
To whom all others look for food,
Both rich and poor, both bad and good,
Should strive their places we'll to fill.
Should "hold or drive" the ground to till,
And so for other wants provide,
And fill their pockets we'll beside.
The man who farms with gloves and cane,
Who loves his ease and drinks champagne,
Yet by his farming really thrive,
Should c,u 1t bu. one in Twenty-Five
Th equ 9ry's OF in this our day,
How can the farm be m 4 l. to pay'
Anlby sc>"es are ans Y srs given,
As wide apart ii ona.an seven.
n W, to re ieyc those anxious ones,
Let me here say tha ling is done
BY swet: that ooz.3 from tho skin,
So go it man, through thick and thin.
Now don't yon soc, my worthy friend,
(lf yoa the proverh c)nprehenl,)
How easy 'tiS for y1I to thrive?
Al you need to do Is "hold or drive"

vallandigElam,s Return.

The Chicago Times, in expressing its graf
itication at Vallandigham voluntary return
expresses its regrets that he did not do so
on his arrival in Canada last July. The on
ly reason that he did not return then was to
please a set of trembling, weak-kneed War
Democrats who threatened to bolt the ticket
if he came into the State. They were a.
fraid it would produce civil war in Ohio
Brough then followed it up on his side by
declaring that if Vallandigham was elected,
he Brought would get up civil war in O.
hio sure. This scared some of that class
more than ever. 1t was not the fault of Mr.
Vallandigham, by any means, that he did
not cross over and stump Ohio for Govern
or lost fall. If no one hurts that sort Of
folk until Mr. Vallandigham does, they are
a very safe set Of fellows. Let him alone

WHY SUMTER WAS FIRED UPoN.-Jere Glenn
ems of Alabama, said in his speech to the re-
cent Union meeting at Huntsville:
He would tell the Alabamans how their State
got out of the Union. In 1861, shortly after
the Confederate government was put in operation,
I was in the city of Montgomery. One day
stepped into the office of the Secretary of War,
Gen. Walker, and found there, engaged in very
excited discussion, Mr.. Jefferson Davis, Mr..
Memminger, Mr.. Benjamin, Mr.. Gilchrist,
member of our Legislature from Loundes
county, and number of other prominent gent
lemen. They were discussing the propriety of
Immediately opening fire on Fort Sumter, to
which General Walker, the Secretary of War,
appeared to be opposed. Mr.. Gilchrst said to
him: Sir, unless you sprinkle blood in the face
of the people of Alabama they will be back in
the old Union in less than ten days?" Thenext
day Gen. Beauregard opened his batteries on
Sumter, and Alabama was saved to the Confed-
eracy!
