John Wentworth on Vallandigham.

Foremost among the unclean birds recently
congregated at Chicago, was the infamous
Valiandigham, who improved every occasion
to utter his reasonable sentiments. we learn
from the Chicago Tribune that after one OF
his dlsloyal haarugues, the crowd called upon
Hon. John Wentworth, who was listener,
tor a speech. the Copperheads around the
stand supposed that he would speak In SYM
patty with their views. On the other hand,
he gave them q thorough Union speech, ad,
ministered scathing rebuke to the disloyal
Vallandigham, exposing his fallacies, and
pointing out his Southern sympRthies. Du
ring his remarks an attempt was made to in
terrupt him. He told them they were not
carrying out their doctrine of free speech, and
said his voice was stronger than theirs, and
that he couldn't be Kissed down. He kept on
and finished his speech, which is publishedin
full in the Tribune, and which must have con-
WINGED the Copperheads that they had walked
up the wrong passenger. -

From the Argus OF yesterday morning We
clip the following item:
IMPORTANT NEWS ExpEcrED.-We ex-
pect dispatches to-day that Mobile is captur-
ed, Charleston taken, and the stars and stripes
flying from the rebel capitol in Richmond. OF
which Gen. Butler got the key the other day,
or other equally important evidences of the
capacity, vigor and military genius of this adj
ministration.-- Elections in PennsyIyania
Ohio and Indiana.
What is this but confession, none the less
emphatic because implied, that Union victo
lies are adverse to the Democratic cause, and
that the cause of the copperheads and the
cause of the rebels go up or go down togei b.
err We are astonished that our neighbor
should be so short-sighted as to make such
confession, even though it may be the honest
convection Of his heart. He knows-for he is
no iool-that what helps JEFF. Davis aids Gen.
41'0iehan that what makes JEFF. Davis de-
sPonoent Injuries the prospects of Mcclellan.

graph he says it SO plainly that honest, laval
men cannot mistake the language. "
And we have no doubt that ,ho
dread Of his heart now is that Union vio t
Will come; that they will be so signal ho,woon
now and November as to leave no hope so-
his candidate, and IL he utters a single pravor
which has more emphasis and unction than
any other, it is that Union victories NAV not

A Wonderful Acquisition.

In the Advertisers report Of the meeting
at the Democratic Headquarters Saturday
evening, we find the following:
The President then introduced the Rev. Mr..
Poole from Louisiana, but formerly resident
of this city. He held the attention of the
whole audience for half an hour, giving a
short narration of his experience South, and
closing with an eloquent and stirring appeal
to the men of all ages and conditions, to rise
in the name of their country, and elect our
God-given, Godinspred leader-McCle
Two things strike US as rather remarkable:
first, that the Adcertiser--ar real political min
lister -hater-should SO greedily seize upon such
bit ofbone as this, and, second, that the ar
gus presumed to be the organ of authoritative
Democracy, should not allude to Mr.. Poole or
the meeting either. This silence on its part
provokes the suspicion that it regards both as
cery small potatoes. 1913
But who is this Rev. Mr.. Poole of louisa
ma? We know him well; have known him
for the last six years. His name is Albert w.
Poole, and under Pierce and Buchanan he was
Post Master in little obscure place called
Woodyille, in Louisiana, and owned, or his
wife owned, a few slaves. He now has son
in the rebel army. m g LtH a3Iisa2s vA
Since the rebellion was precipitated he has
claimed to be Union man, though his family
hold on to the Patriarchal institution, being
within the rebel lines; and not long since he
was at our office and showed US the documents
on which lie had been travelling, and which had
passed him free over railroads and within our
military lines, and his entire conversation ,oas
in faoor of the Administratton The truth
is, he had, by his professions of friendship,
procured papers of sympathy from officers of
the Government, they undoubtedly regarding
lima as an inofensive man who would at least
be true to his professions. 1t is proper to
state that he has not been settled clergyman,
aud has acvured his clerical title only by hav-
iag exhorted in small meetings, and particu-
larly among the slaves. - "a 81 .,.5
We would not inure hair of Mr. Poole's
head, for we regard him as of no possible
account, and as having no power to aid or in
ure any cause by anything he can say. A
gentleman of the highest responsibility, who
has long known him and understands his cali
bre fully, remarked to us yesterday, that he
would stake $500 that if he could see Mr..
Poole he would in three hours secure his al
tendance upon Lincoln meeting, and secure
from him speech in favor of Mr.. Lincoln
more extravagant in terms of eulogy than any
words he has yet uttered, or will be likely to
utter, in favor of Mcclellan. We have no
doubt of it, and yet we do not question Mr..
Poole's honesty; we only question his mental
capacity. He is one of the least of the COM
mon Fathers children, and affords good IL
lustration Of the sacred proverb, that 'where
little is given little is required"

Canada and the London Times,

The Thunderer is constantly lecturing Can
ada Tor not stirring herself and preparing to
defend her soil against the Americans, who
have now become not only warlike, but also
very dangerous nation, especially to the
British, North American possessions. The
Times says Mexico and Canada are in immi-
nent danger of an invasion, and points out
the necessity Of a defense Without depending
on England for help. 1t says:
"We have stated that Canada leans on a
broken reed if she supposes that, in case of an
invasion from America, any considerable por-
ton of her defense can be borne by this cOun-
try. We think we need not argue or discuss
what would be the duty of England in such q
conjuncture. It is quite enough to confne
ourselves to the consideration of possibilities.
Let Canada consider the forces with which
England took the field in the Crimea, and let
her reflect on the forces with whichthe Amer
lean generals have been carrying on civil
war. All, and more than all, that England
can spare would not suffice for the wear and
tear, we do not say of campaign, but of a
single battle conducted on Gen. Grants prin-
cipes. Whatever may be our wishes or our
opinions, it Is absolutely out of our power to
give Canada efficient assistance by land in the
event of war;" eey aJ
This journal also thinks that England could
not help Canada by land if involved in a7se-
rious contest with even the Northern half of
the American Republic. We think SO too, but
the Canadians don't seem half so much trou-
bled about it as the Thnnderer does. No
doubt the writer in the Times believes John
Bull has done enough to provoke the Ameri-
cans to Geek revenge and hence his fears; and
many of the Canadians have not conducted
themselves very well for the last three years
towards us, but we don't want the Canadas at
present, and SO these secesh sympathisers
needn't be alarmed uap n3vfa 8lsd
