The Campaign.

The political campaign is now fair.
ly opened. We have in the field,
State, County and District Tickets.
The opposition have also put them
selves in fighting attitude, and we
have no doubt intend to make a pow
erful effort to carry the Legislature
and State Ticket. By losing the Leg
islature, the Union cause would lose
an United States Senator. The cleo
ton OF n State Ticket we regard as
very certain, if the Union men but
do their duty. Supineness and in
difference will not, however, win the
day. This state OF feeling must be
thrown off for zeal and activity. In
a strong hold of Unionism like this
County, the party must not regard
its labors at an end when it has
placed its ticket in nomination. 1t is
sure of success, but the State Ticket
needs the support OF our full strength.
Trumbull County being honored with
the candidate for Governor, should
exert herself to give him an unpar-
allied majority. Let every man go to
! work at once.

Orr Candidates

The Union Senatorial Convention
for this District has placed in nomi-
nation for the Office of State Senator,
Judge GEORGE +. Brown, of this
County, a gentleman we'll fitted for
the position, and who will no doubt
prove an industrious and active Sena-
tor. The Judge, in addition to his
experience as Il lawyer, has flied the
Office of Probate Judge in this Coun-
ty for two terms, and made a faithful
and popular officer.
The Union County Convention,
which met yesterday, re-nominated
A. D. Kibbos, Esq, of Farmingtonf
for Representative nomination
which MIR. Kibbee's career as a legisla-
tor leaves no room to doubt, eminent
ly fit to be made. Mr.. Kibbee is in
dustrious, honest and capable, which
qalifes him for official position accor-
ding to the Jeffersonian standard.
Lieut.. S. NJ. Laird of Mesopotamia
is our candidate for Sheriff. We have
known him for q number of years,
and know him to be a noble young
man. He has proven a true soldier and
patriot, and will no doubt fill tn e
Office of Sheriff acceptably to the
people.
Col. Edward Hayes, of Hartford,
the nominee for Treasurer, has been
tried and was not found wanting
when the nation needed brave and
true men. lie is fully qualified for
the duties of the Office for which he
has been nominated.
John NJ. Stull, Esq, OF Warrior, is
the nominee for Prosecuting Attor-
ney, an office he filed for one term, a
few years since, in a very creditable
manner. No better selection could
have been made. TrumbulI County
never had q better Prosecutor than
John NJ. Stall.
The County Commissioner elected
this fall will be o. X. WolcOtt, of
Pennington, Il copital good fellow,
and a tip-top man for Commissioner.
The solemn duties of Coroner are
destined, by the action of the Conven-
ton, to be incumbent upon D.. D.
Marvin, Esq, of Bazetta, Il gentleman
who will be faithful in the discharge
OF his official requirements.
Samuel Fansior, Esq, OF Bristol,
was nominated Tor lntirmary Direc-
tor. Mr, +. is a prHdomt business
man, and will keep II faithful eye on
the interests OF tho Inhrmary.

WAsHINGTON, Aug p.
The Commissioner for the Exchange
of Prisoners was among the visitors
at the Presidents House yesterday,
Should the Wirz trial not progress
faster than il has the last week sew
cral months will he consumed iu
bringing the proceedings TO a close as
only half u dozen IA of more than
one hundred and fifty witnesses have
been examined. The Commission
gives the defence the greatest iati-
tude discrimination.
The repeated statements about the
contemplated visit of the President
are merely speculative.
Our Minister at COnsJantinOple
officially informs the government
that the cholera continues to extend
its ravages. He says, had proper
quarantine regulations been enforced
at first, the introduction % the disease
from Egypt might have been pre-
vented. IL seems 10 him, from cS-
p~erience mt Constantinoplc, that 1t
will be advisable in the United States
to guard against it by the most rigid
quarantine regulations.
The proceedings OF the Wirz trial
yesterday were exceedingly interest
ing though the details OF the cruelt.cs
were ~sickening.
The examination Of DR.. Barrows
formerly Surgeon of the 9th Mass.
Infantry, was continued, and the
testimony of another important wit
ness, Robert NJ. Kellogg, who was
also Il prisoner at AndersOHvilie.
The evidence cOrroborated in full all
that has heretofore been spoken and
written of the horrors and sgiicringH
Ofthat dreadful prison. The capuvos
were starved and tortured to death
and the dead bodies sometimes left
lying where they had breathcd their
last for three days, poisoning the at
mosphero and rendering 1t almost
intolerable TO the living. Two hun.
dred and even men died in one day
in August, 1864. The ratjOns suppl
ed were rotten, and in many eases
we're not of sufficient qUan6iJy &c
long sustain life. The men were com.
PEELED to lie in dirt, filth and ragged
ness and almost naked, upon the bare
ground IN freezing cold and %scOrching
heat and where u part were bud
died together the dead were frequently
found mingled with the living
Those who were not killed by this
course Of treatment were reduced tC
skeleton 5, many eaten up With gan
creme, and others lost limbs. On one
Occa sion thirty-twO out OF Il squad Of
nine ty men to which Nh. kellogg
belon ged could not stand when order
cd to fall H. line, on account of weak
ness from scurvy and diarrhea. Near
ly 200 of4O0 who accompanied hin
TO A~ndersOnyille died in a Few day.
af ter being paro!ed and the iii
n ew York Battery was nearly ANN
hi lated IN prison.
Tn c court will meet again On Mon
day.

ContemptIbIe Plagiarism.

In a late number of the Ashland
I(O.) Union, we find an address on
democracy as applied to Man and
Government" which was delivered re-
Gently by one ID. F. FOrtney, before a
literary society at H~ayesville.
No doubt the "Iarge number of the
citizens of Hayesville and vicinity"
requested its publication under the
impression that the effort was original
with Mr.. Fortney. But the gentle
man was cutting a swell in borrowed
clothes. Scarcely a word is original,
save where it is marred by interpola-
TORS 10 suit the prejudices of modern
apprehension. The rOblc essay
emanated from the pen Of that true
Democrat, Mr.. LEGGETT, the popular
and talented editor of the democrat
ic Review" and was written, perhaps,
when Nh. Fortney was in his swad-
dlings. Where Mr.. Leggett says De-
mocracy contends for the "extiuctiOn
of tyranny, for the abolition of pre-
rogative, for the reform of abuse, for
the amelioration of government, for
the destruction of monopoly, for the
establishment of justice, for tie elera-
ton Of the masses, for the progress Of
humanity, and for the dignity and
worth of the individual man." the
Ashland County expOunder of the
faith omitS the significant words, 'for
tie elevation Of the masses" and sub
stitutes "for the maintenance of iChite
supremacy" That one sentence is
the only II contained in the ''ora-
tion,' not stolen from the article pub
lished twenty years ago in the Demo-
cratic ReUisD.
The broad, liberal principles of De.
mocracy promulged al that time by
a recognized leader and exponant Of
the principle, does not suit the shrivol-
ed and narrow creed of the DcmocI at
ic party Of this day. Webster in bis
great Dictionary defines the word
DEMOCRAT-"une who adheres to q
form of government 10y the people, or
favors the extension of the Right of
Suffrage to all classes of men, The
party now claiming the name of Dem
ocratic, is in fact the aristocratir, and
favors the monopOlizing Of political
privileges by q particular class The
true Democracy of this nation is the
party that advocates the "extinction
of tyranny, the reform of abuse, the
elevation of the masses and the pro-
gress of humanity"
When democratic" orators at
tempt to pervert the sentiments OF a
pure Democratic retoI mer to Il vain
glorifcation of their shamocracy, they
should be careful they do not fail, like
the ASS in the fable, who in attempt
ing to play tine lion, did not conceal
his long ears.

About TaNaIion.

The Democrats through their
newspapers are insidouSly intoxicating
the idea of Reputation into the minds
of tho people. The question of Inter
nal Taxes is presented in its darkos
aspect, and the public mind Piled with
heated partizan Misrepresentation on
the subject of government revenue.
# there is a party whose mouths
should be dumb in reference TO this
matter it is the Democratic. Who
but they are justly chargable with all
this onerous taxation, which has
grown out of the rebellion? 1t was
such leading Democrats as Davis,
Breckenridge, Tombs, Vallandigham,
Wood, &c, who plotted the diabolical
schemes which plunged the nation
into a bloody and expensive war
Secession and treason had full sway
under th Q administration of Buchan-
an; and to the INSTRUMENTATION of
that party, and its connivance with
traitors, encouraging them to rebel
against the Government, producing
war, the nation must, and will, lay
the great crimes and sacrifices of
the past four years, and the oppressive
financial burdens now pressing upon
the country.
Union men are in no wise charg-
able with the result. 1t attaches in
toto to Northern ~copperheads and
Southern rebels. Their treason made
the burden inevitable; and now they
are meanly striving to escape paying
a part of the expenses incurred in
maintaining the Government. In this
unpatriotic work they will have the
sympathy of every rebel in the South,
but the contempt of every truly 10y
al and just man everywhere. Strict
and unbending justice would ordain
that the property of rebels and cop
perheads should be confscated by law
for the liquidation of the National
debt incurred by their villainy and
treachery. Instead of complaining of
taxation, they should be thankful the
Government is satisfied with a mere
1.-THE of their property.

GENERAL BUTLER.-The New York
Tribune of yesterday makes, editori-
ally, the following statement about
General Butler, which will be read
with interest in other attitudes
besides our own:
"A despatch in yesterdays Times is
calculated to do great injustice 80
Gen. Butler. 1t is said that that Off
Ger had not offered his resignation in
Il way that could be accepted. The
truth is, that the General not only
offered his resignation, but called on
the President and begged him to
accept it, as he desired to close up his
affairs with the government, go to
New York and resume the practice of
the law. The President declined say
ing that his present reconstruction
policy was an experiment; he did NOT
know how it would succeed; and. if it
failed, he would want the General to
go into the South and take hold. For
this reason, the resignation was not
accepted"
