Pending motion for the adoption of the
resolutions, long letter from Wendell Phil
lips was read by one Of the secretaries, re-
commanding Fremont for President and
making several other suggestions. We have
no room for it this morning. Now came the
time for the Grant men to make their formal
demonstration, and Andrew J. Colvin, of
New York, an old Democrat, and formerly
State Senator, is put forward as their spokes-
man, The hour and the man are both m
wisely chosen. The convention is anxious
to act on thsrssOlutiOn and impatient of long
speeches. Mr.. Colvin, too, is dry and un-
interesting talker, and his prosy review Of
the political situation drove slI spectators
out of the house. His dull advocacy would
have killed even a more hopeless cause than
that which he had espoused. He concluded
by saying that he would suggest a man who
could carry New York by hundred thous-
and majority, and did so by reading q letter
ffSn Lucius Robinson, of New York, sdvis-
ing that the convention nominste General
Grant. The name of the gallant Lisutsn-
ant General was very family cheersd, and it
was evident that the name of the hero of
sPottsylvania would pale before that of the
swOrdlsss general of New York.

Destruction Of the Laporte Democrat

On Monday evning last, about seven o.
clock. some eight or ten soldiers entered
the Democrat office Of this city and totally
destroyed everything in it except the news
paper forms and the presses, which proved
to be made of too strong material to yield
to the influence OF their weapons. The
type were scattered or thown in heaps npon
the floor. the cases, stands andtabIes were
split and broken, and a general demolition
effected. es.s ssf
We do not know what was the immedi-
ate cause OF this act of lawlessness on the
part of the soldiers, but are quite certain
that they were not prompted to it by the
advice or connivance Of our citizens.
The Democrat has. since its commence
ment, constantly opposed every measure of
the government to put down the rebellion;
it has characterized the President as o
despot and the war as an abolition war, in
augurated for the purpose of placing the
negro On level with the white race. In
doing this it has Justly incurred the dis
pleasure of loyal men lighting for the res
toration of the Union. Bat We believe il
wrong in principle and policy to commit
an act which the law declares a crime in.
order to correct the evil; and this we be-
lieve to be the sentiment of Union men
here as well as elseweere.-Laporfe Union.

sentiment toward movements In favor Of
the reelection of Mr. Lincoln-a measure
of the highest importance to the country;
and TO be urged chiefly for three feasofiss
viz:
1st. His unquestioned honesty, singlencss
Of aim and qualification.
ID. Any change attempted now, while
the country is engaged in this terrible
struggle for its national existence; will
distract and divert the minds of the .peo-
pie and give rise to scramble for Office.

and causing relaxation of effort and fol-

highest to the lowest.

ment would be damaging. as the cause for
it would not be understood or explained.
and would be construed into . condem-

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
Escape of Prisoners from Libby
How it was Effected.
WASHINGTON. Eel

w ASHfNGToN, FEB. lO.
Captain William Walack, lthe 5Ist
Indiana, Originally from Peru. Indiana, J.
who escaped from Libby Prison through
the tunnel, arrived to-day, and was on. the
floor Of the House. He came nearly due
north from Richmond till he reached our
lines. He says they began digging the
tunnel on New Years eve. and only finish
cd it the night before making their escape.
The work was carefully concealed, even.
from the bulk of their brother officers, for
the reason that rebel spies are believed to.
be among them, clothed in our uniform.
and protesting TO be prisoners from some
OF our regiments. The working party
were all sworn to the most solemn secrecy
They began back Of the stone in a room
on the ground floor, where pile of ashes
enabled them to conceal their work.
From this they dug into the chimney,
and so down into the cellar. This cellar
was filled with old rubbish, and also con-
tanned pile of straw. They began their
tunnel from this cellar. digging through
the whole night; relieving one an other by
turns, and piliDg the dirt taken from the
which they had removed the rubbish.
Every night before closing their work
they wocld stamp this dirt down, to make
It occupy as small space as possible. and.
then cover it over with straw They
would then carefully black their boots and
remove every particle of clay from their
clothes, and after morning roll call spend
Tue day In sleeping, for the double purpose
OF gaining rest and avoiding conversation
with others.
Col. Rose, of Ohio, acted as chief cpgi--
neer in managing the direction Of the tun-
mel. They continued this way night after
night till the evening before making their
escape. when some negroes who were in
the prison waiting on prisoners discovered
what they were doing, but Loyalty kept
the secret
They dug in this way under an adjacent
street, and finally came to the surface in a
vacant lot, so yards distant. At the point
where they were under the street, they were
only four feet from the surface, and moth
ing bat the tenacity of the soil prevented
the tunnel from crumbling. Toward the
close they became alarmed about the pile
of dirt excavated, and in order to make it
occupy as little space as possible, they
only made the tunnel large enough for
medium sized man to crawl through on
his belly. When they came to attempt
the passage, several of the men stuck fast.
and it was with the utmost difficulty that
some of them managed to work their way
through.
1t was owing to this delay that compare
lively, so small number escaped. AS it
was. as many got out as possibly could
till daylight came to check their opera
TONS
Many, however, started without any
provisions. and being compelled to stop at
houses for food, were discovered. To this.
and to their weakness from long continued
privatfon, the recapture of SO many is at

worst used up man that ever ran for that
Office, as thousands and thousands of Cop

Miscegenation or MaIenkation.

+. The simple signiication Of these Jaw
breaking terms is-miscegenation. the
mixture of two races; malenkation. union
of white and black. The Democrat is
very anxious to know whether we are in
favor OF this process. We have no great
objection to the amaIgamation of the An
glo- Saxon and Tentonic races. or the min
Cling of other white races, but are very
much opposed to the amalgamation of the
white and black races; and this is one Of
the reasons why we are so hostile to slave
ry, for in no other quarter of the globe is
white and black amalgamation carried on
so extensively as in the Slave States. Ma
ny slaves are the offspring of their mas
tcrs and their masters sons, who are Otter
sold like other slaves to persons who viii
agree to take them to some other State
II we were in favor Of malenkation W,
should not be quite so hostile TO slavery
and If our neighbor was not in favor o
melenkation he would be opposed to th
demoralizing, unjust and villianous insti

The Democratic Commissioners Of this
County desire draft above all things for
the sake of making political capital out of
it. If they did not they would offer lib
eral bounty to recruits as all the other
counties nearly in the State have. Ful-
ton county, We hear, offers 5000 to each
recruit, and even little Stark offers 500.
Marshall county is much wealthier than
either Stark or Marshall, and can better
afford to give $500 bounty to each VOL
unteer than they can the amounts they Of
fer; but she is cursed with the meanest and
vilest set of Copperheads to be found any
where outside of rebeldom. We will do
our Democratic Commissioners. however,
the. justice to say, that we believe they
would have offered bounty of $50 OF
800 at their last term. had it not been for
the opposition Of the Copperhead leaders
about town, including the editor of the
Democrat. He has been exempted, we
believe.
