The Standard is decidedly belligerent, and
announces that the Democrats ''are prepared
to fight if needs be for the God given princi-
pie of peace" We are not surprised to find
our neighbor "ou the war path" as usual-it
is not his nature To be otherwise, and as be was
ferociously "for the war" it is meet aud proper
he should be equally ferocious against it and
"for peace" Consistency is not necessary or
expected in his case; but still the young men
at the front, who were lured into the ranks by
his eloquent appeals for "a vigorous prosecu'
tion of the war till the last armed reoel is sub
dued." will be apt to regard as anything
but friendly and generous his present efforts
to prevent recruits from being raised to re-en-
force the army, thus leaving them to their fate,
and without the aid they had right to ex-
pect from those whose homes and interests
they are protecting on the tented fled. The
declaration that he is ready to fight for peace"
at home, though it may satisfy his own con-
science, will hardly prove satisfactory ex.
PLANTATION to them for the position he now oc-
cupiea 10 reference to soldiers and the cause for
which he urged them to take up arms.
We are aware that he does not like "a be
Lincoln" That be denounces him as a "trai-
tor" ''tyrant aud usurper," ETC., and hurls
anathemas at his head, is doubtless in his own
estimation all right; and besides it is necessary
to appease Vallandigham, Jack Smith & Co.,
whom he now adores and worships, but at the
time he was singing hozannas to this same
ABE Lincoln" was deneuncing as "traitors "
worthy of being hung without judge or jury.
We are sorry, however, that instead of ex-
pending his efforts in denunciatiOns of the
President, he did not find time to inform US if
be, so recently war man, coercionist and de-
uouncer Of secession, approves of the South
Carolina resolutions recognizing secession and
denouncing coercion, passed by the late peace
meeting-why the resolution recommending
q certain gentleman for Congress was suppress
ed-and if he is prepared to support a 4" war
man" If the Chicago Convention should nomi-
nate one.
1t is impossible to avail ourselr as this late
day Of the gushing eIoquence" with which
be regaled the people in all parts OF the coun-
ty in 1852, in order to show what he then
thought of war" peace" ABE Lincoln" !"

"James Buchanan" aud matters and things
generally connected with the war. We can,
however, in a measure accomplish the end by
means Of his paper. and if we can procure

cosiOnally for III special benefit and ediication
of himself and his co-laborers in the cause of
"peace."

TREAsoNABLE ORsANIzATIoEs.-We give
on the first page a portion of the sworn evil
dence of one of the high officers in the trea-
sonabIe organization known as the Sons of
Liberty, of which Vallandigham is Supreme
Commander of the entire Order. each State
having like though subordinate officer for
the organization within its limits This evil
dence is fully confirmed by that of G. L.
Hunt, who was at the head of the organiza-
tion in Missouri and the recent astounding
developments n Indiana, prove that its aims
and objects in that State are identical with
those shown in the Missouri expose. From
the testimony thus addueed it is clearly estab-
lished that the overthrow of the Government
was contemplated, and active aid given in ev-
cry possible way TO the rebels-indeed, it is
an avowed ally Of the rebel army, and medi-
tated acting in concert with it in case of an
invasion. This is the Order into which young
men in Ohio, and in Delaware county, are be-
ing lured-and this is the organization which
Medary's Crisis, paper published at the Cap
ital of Ohio, and the recognized organ of the
copperhead portion of the Democracy, ap-
plsuds and approves, expressing wish that
it may increase in numbers; and accepting as
true the testimony Of its character and de-
signs to which we have referred. calls it a
patriotic organization having in view the
restoration of the Union.
We also give q few details of the Indiana
expose. In addition TO the capture and seiz-
ure of arms and ammunition (the latter in
immense quantity, the official records Of the
Order and the correspondence of DoDD, the
Supreme Commander of the State, have been
secured. 1t includes letters from Vallandig-
ham and large number OF eonspirators of
high degree throughout the country, and fully
establishes their reasonable designs One Of
the letters from Senator Wall, OF New Jersey,
offers to furnish 10000 Garibaldi Rifles, for
the excellent quality and great efficiency" of
which he vouches. This is the worthy over
whose arrest and consignment to Fort Lafay-
ette sach terrible howl was raised. In
tense excitement and indignation prevail in
Indiana in consequence of the developments
made.

TIE NEWS.

Important movements have been made by
Grant during the week, with considerable fight
ing, the results being decidedly in our favor
On the 18th Warren moved his force across
the Weldon railroad, south of Petersburg
The following day the rebels made furious
attack with the view Of dislodging him. For
time their efforts we're partially successful
bat late in the day our forces we're REINFORCED
and in turn drove back the rebels, re-taking
and holding the line from which they had been
temporarily driven. The loss was considerable
on both sides, but in the end the victory was
with US. The possession of the Weldon rail-
road being of vital importance to the rebels,
Lee issued orders on the 2Ist to have it re-
taken at all hazards and at any sacrifice; and
accordingly a formidable and furious assault
was again made, resulting in prOtracted and
stubborn fight, the rebels being repulsed with
great slaughter DOSING two Generals killed
and one mortally Wounded), and falling back
without accomplishing their object. Our for
tected by breastwOrkS, their loss was light
We now hold the road firmly, and some thirty
miles of it have been thoroughly destroyed,
leaving the lily constructed and roundabout
DauvilIe road the only remaining means of
communicating with the South. Latest ad-
vices say the rebels have withdrawn from the
Weldon road, abandoned the effort to re-take
it, and left it to its fate. Further movements
in that quarter are said to be progressing, the
nature of which will probably soon be devel-
OpOd.
In the Shenandoah valley active movements
have been going on during the week, attended
by heavy diminishing, but no general en-
RaRement has occurred. Both armies were
at latest AdviCes near Harper's Ferry, but it
is not known that any rebels have as yet sue
cseded in crossing the Potomac. Appearances
indicate an intention on their part to attempt
another invasion Of Pennsylvania, but it is
understood that Sheridan is fully prepared for
them.
From Mobile we lave nothing important.
Fort Morgan is closely invested by our forces,
and it's speedy fall may be regarded as certain.
The RiChmend papers of the goth speak Of q
large Union force advancing from Pensacola
toward Mobile Bay.
On the 2lst rebel cavalry force under
Forrest made dash into Memphis, but they
were speedily driven out without accomplish
ing any thing TO their advantage or our iu-
jury.
There is no news Of interest from Sherman
The advices received by the Government are
said to be highly encouraging, but no details
are given. Another successful raid has been
made on the Macon railroad, resulting in very
serious damage to the rebel communications
The diseontinuance Of the rebel assaults is
proof positive that they do not possess the
ability to drive away the force that has estab.
liGhed itself in the very heart Of the bogus
Confederacy.
In the late Operations near Petersburg the
rebels lost Ave Generals-three on the south
side and two on the north side Of the James.

OH1O's QUoTA.-A recent re-adjustment of
accounts between our State and the General
Government reduces our quota under the pend
ing call some 10000. This surplus is to be
apportioned among the several Congressional
districts, the number assigned to our district
being 544. This will reduce the quota of our
county something over 100, aud that Of the
several townships propOrtiOnately.

We have not as yet seen the most distant
alusion in the editorial cOamns of any DEM
ocratic paper TO the late exposure and arrests
10 Indiana. The Government it seems was
posted, and the sending of a regiment of
troops to Indianapolis is, we presume, by this
time satisfactorily explained to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, which went into spasms over a re-
port to that effect.

The prompt return of our National Guard,
numbering over 10000, ard the discharge Of
veteran regiments on the day their term OF
service expires, regardless of the demands of
the service or the situation OF our armies. af-
fords gratifying evidence of the faithful man
ner in which the Government iulills its obli-
cations to her soldiers. Il also contrasts
strongly with the action of the rebel authori-
ties under like circumstances. Their Congress
passed law declaring all white male citizens
within certain ages members of the army, and
soldiers who had volunteered for u specified
time were on the expiration of their term of
service forced to continue in the ranks without
limit as TO time. Still there are those in the
North who constantly declaim against the al
legged tyranny of our Government, and speak
apprOvingly OF JEFF Davis despotism.

The Congressional nominating Convention
for the 10Th district, met at Warren, Trumbu
county, last week, and renominated Gen. JOHN
A. GARFIELD by acclamation. The 18th is
the district in which Senator Wade resides
The following resolutions, passed by the Con
vention, indicate the light in which efforts to
SOW dissensons in the Union ranks are regarded
by those composing the Convention, and especi
ally how they look upon the protest" of Messrs
Wade and Davis:
RESOLVED, That in times like these, there can
be no dissensions among truly loyal men, and
that we distrust the patriotism, and condemn
the conduct of those professed Union men who
are endeavoring TO create dissensiOn in the
Union ranks, whether in the army or out of it.
and are thus deliberately and directly contrib
uting to the triumph of the rebellion, the dis,
ruption of the Union, and the destruction oi
the Government.
ReSolUed, That the recent attack upon the
President by Messrs Wade and Davis, is, in
our opinion, ll-timed, ill-tempered and ill-ad-
vised, carrying great and undisguised Joy to
ICDCI Cdul ps III Tie SOulu, anu TGOSl Syupa-
thisers in the North, and to the Union cause
can be productive of evil and only evil and
inasmuch as one OF the authors of said protest
is citizen of this Congressional District, nd
indebted in no small degree to our friendship
for the position he now occupies, we deem it a
duty, no less important than disagreeable, TO
pronounce upon that disorganizing manifesto
our UNQUALIFIED disapproyal and eopdempa-
tion.
Resolved, That we will irown upon every
attempt from whatever source, and cOnsign to
merited oblivion, so far as in our power. every

The Chicago Convention meets Monday
The peace men, or copperheads, are assured
by Medary, Fernando Wood and Vallandig-
ham that they will triumph, and a peace man
on peace platform be secured. On the other
hand, the Democrats proper, led by the New
York delegation, are confident of their ability
to nominate Mcclellan. The reasonable or
der of the Sons of Liberty, which was to have
assembled at Chicago on the % OF July TO
