MIR. Cox's speech i'm vindication of

The reader will find in this paper the
able speech Of Hon. S. S. Cox on the bill to
drop unemployed general officers. 1t is
not an apology for, but a yindication of a
brave and patriotic General from the slam
derous accusations and indignities sought
to be heaped upon him by theunscrupu-
lous partizans of the Administration. This
speech of Mr.. Cox reviews briefly the
military career of General MCCLELLAN, and
presents him, as he truly is, the idol of the
Army and the people. We commend Mr..
Cox's ''vindication of MCCLELLAN" to the
readers attentive perusal. G'''i

THE louisville Journal says:

1.-THE Cincinnati Z lines wants Colonel VOL
ford punished for his Lexington speech.
The Cincinnati Editors were delighted to
have the gallant Wolford in their State
when John Morgan and his band were
creating wild alarm throughout all her bor-
ders. They would gladly have tolerated
pretty strong speech from him then, In con-
sideration OF the good services Of his strong
right arm."
But this is the way with all the radical
Abolition crew. When Washington was In
wild alarm upon Pores rout and the adj
vance of LEE, President LINCOLN and Gen.
HALLEcK waited upon MCCLELLAN at his
house, and besought him to take the
command, putting every 3 thing into
his hands. When LEE had been beat
en- and retreated, and the apparent dan
ger was over, they punished McCLELIAN
for his dispatch, no doubt, written on the
evening after the battle of Gaines's Mill,
by again removing him from the command
of the Army. The only error committed
by that honest and too confiding officer,
which we know of, says the Boston Post
consisted in his not preventing any such
punishment by making the removal of Sec
retary STANTON, to whom that dispatch
was addressed, an indispensable condition
to his resuming the command for the de-
tense of Washington. l5f E

The radicals think the finances of the
Government in too crippled a condition to
continueto pay liberal bounties to white
men who may volunteer, but they are urS
gent for Congress to pass a law authorizing
the purchase of negroes for soldiers. The
slave dealer goes into the market and buys
negroes for laborers; the radicals want the
Government to buy negroes for soldiers at
forced sales and at its own price. They
have long been discussing in Congress
proposition to make the wives and children
Of the negro slaves who may enlist free,
and to compensate their masters or owners
for such freedom. 7i,sl 7 mia i,alsq yi-
Mr.. DooLIrrLE, pretty fair Abolition au-
thority, stated in the U. s. Senate the other
day, In the course Of debate on the above
measure, that the number Of slaves enlisted
in the U. S. service, from the States Of Del
aware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri,
had then reached twenty-seyen thousand.
Taking this statement to be correct, and es-
timating three persons as the average fami-
" of each enlisted negro, then, to pay the
owners of wives and children at the rate OF
one hundred dollars each, would require
the expenditure of SO, 100000, sum which
the radical leaders, in the present critical
condition of the national finances, seem
quite willing to eNpend for negroes, but
rather reluctant to disburse for white men.

The Action OF the Democratic
t4t State Convention.

: The action and result of the Democratic
State Convention, held in this city on the
23d inst, are highly gratifying to us, as they
must be to all the friends of the Union and
the Constitution in this and other States.
The delegates came up here, fresh from the
masses Of the Democratic and Conservative
people whom they most ably and patrioti-
caily represented. There were some differ
ences ofopinion among the delegates, as
they represented constituents of different
views on questions of mere expediency or
policy. But the will of the majority, when
once known and proclaimed, was cheerfully
and enthusiastically acquiesced in, and all
viii, we are confident go to work harmO-
niously and energetically to secure that
success on which depend the life Of the
Republic and the liberty and safety Of the
people.
In the selection of delegates at large to
the National Convention and of Senatorial
electors for President, as well as in its
choice of candidates to fill the various State
offices at the October election, the COnven-
tion evinced prudence, wisdom and pat
riotism worthy of all commendation. Its
appointees and candidates are all good and
true men,, Of whom it is. needless to speak
individually, as each is worthy the conf
dence and support Of his fellow citizens.
The platform adopted by the Convention is
BRIEF but expresses tersely and I'M wen
chosen words, sentiments on the great ques-
tions Of the day that viii find an answer
ing echo in the heart Of every Democrat
and true patriot. rS ). u y,..,.,.....,.
We cannot but regard this Convention,
as we believe twill be. regarded every
where, as the most important ever assem-
bled In Ohio.a Not alone the Union-not
alone our National Constitution--but
the very existence of the States them
selves and the rights and liberties or
the people, dependent on local self
government are in imminent and hourly
jeopardy, Tosay this is not the language
Of mere political clap-trap; it is the deep
settled and solemn conviction Of every man
Of the least thought, reflection or capacity
for reading the ominous signs Of the times.
1T b also the firm conviction of every
discerning man--eyen among the sane and
honest Of our political opponents them
selves--that the terrible portents which
now darken our political horizon can only
be averted by change in our National Ad-
ministration-a change thorough and radi-
cal--one that shall take the controlof pub

Democratic Victory I'm Harris
burg, PA.

,aAt the municipal electionini Harrisburg,
Pa, on the 18th inst, the Democrats OBJ
tanned signal triumph. Last fan the city
gave only sixty Deplocratic majority for
Governor; on the 18th it gave one hundred
and sixty-seyen majority for JOHN T. Wn-
son, Democratic candidate for City Treas
urer, against whom the Abolitionists di-
rected their strongest efforts. The Demo-
Gratis elected the City Auditors by over one
hundred majority, and carried five out
of the six wards of the city. Next fall
they win doubtless carry eyeryward. x
