Mnrion Ma.s NreetIng.

The Marion Mirror pays the following
well deserved compliment to Hon. O.
u. Vallandigham, on the occasion Of his
speech at the immense mass meeting held
in that place on the 7th of October. Ii
says:
"Mr vallandigham was more eloquent
than we ever before knew him. For three
hours he held spell>bound, the imwen>e con.
course which had assembled to listen to him
expound the truth and principles Of the great
Democratic party of the country.
In the course Of his speech Mr.. Vsllandig-
ham took occasion to refer to the duty of the
Democratic party TO adhere always and under
all circumstances to principle and to sound
men. Principles aud men, said be, are the
true doctriua Whosoever sacrifices either
II these to mere policy" falsely so-called
weakens the party and Injuries the cause ~
There can be no permanent and fructifyng
triumph not founded on truth and principle
1t is the proud boast of the Democracy Of
Ohio that with the faith of the patriarchs and
the courage of the martyrs, they have main
tanned the doctrine of the fathers and the or
gsnization OF, and discipline Of the party, and
stood by it's true men under circumstances
which might have shaken the fortitude OF the
stoutest Conservatism, it ia; "Bourboniam
it may be, but they will never consent to
abandon it now. They follow no false lights
and struggling for principle, not spoils, they
will receive no other doc rne, and least oi
all will accept the new gospel OF New York
Democracy according to that holy evangelist
st. John b. Haskin."

Close OF tho WIrz Trial.

The Washington special of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer gives an account of the clos,
ing scenes of the Wirz trial, most of which
would be interesting to the general
reader Some interesting points were,
however, brought to light, viz:
|. A delegation of ak Federal prisoners
we're sent from Andersonville, BY Gen. Winder
ard Capt. Wirz, to Washington, to solicit an
exchange of prisoners; that they reached
New York, and were refused transportation
by Gen, Dix.
2. 1t is in evidence that the counsel for
the defense offered to show by witness, that
the latter received letter from Tracy,
stating that the delegates were there, lat

to the authorities, but were refused permis-
sion to confer with the President and Sec
retsry of War, after waiting several days
8 The Judge Advocate had personally
treated him Ohe counsel Mr.. Bakery with
kindness, but had treated the case of the de-
iendant rather roughly.
With these points drawn out, the Judge
advocate for the Government, and Mr.. Baker,
counsel for the defense, announced to the
court that the case was cosed and the court
adjourned until Wednesday to hear the written
arguments of Mr.. Baker and Judge.sdvocate
Chapman. The court will then retire and
make up its findings,

The EiecIIon In OHIO.

The Statesman makes the following
sensible and truthful remarks on the result
of the late election in this State The
Democrats have nothing to discourage OF
'dishearten them, but everything to inspire
renewed confidence in the certainty of fu-
ture triumph. 1t viii not be long lie.
laved
10 1868 on the home aud soldiers votes,
Brough carried Ohio by majority of l0l,-
900 and in 1864, on the same vote, Lincoln
carried the State by 1000 majority and
now only oBe year afterwards, Cox has only
carried the State by a ma ortty of, say, 20, :
900 votes. showing a Repu bcsu loss, and a
Democratic gain, OF 81 900 since 1863, and a
Democratic gain, aud Republican loss, of
40, 900 since last year
These figures amount TO positive triumph
Of the Democratic party, and render it GER
tain that we will sweep the State at the Con
gressional elections next year, The people
Of Ohio are nearly right, and one year more
OF unequal taxation and bad government will
place our State where OF right she belongs
in the array ot Democratics States. In sens
liment and by right, Ohio belongs to the De-
mocracy, aud has only been kept in the Res
publican ranks by tho agitation of the slavery
question aud now that slavery has been
abolished by the Southern States themselves,
that disturbing element will no longer exist
to confuse and coniound the action of our
people.
But aside from the certainty of success in
the elections for 1866, the Democracy have
every reason to be proud Of the great contest
through which we have just passed. Our
Platform was jnst manly and patriotic, and
our Standard Bearer held our colors proudly
aloit and be met all the issues of the day by
direct and frank argument before Ihr people
and in principle, his speeches we're the same
on the Lake shore and the Ohio river, on the
Pennsylvania and Virginia line, as upon the
boundary of Indiana.
1t is far better for us that the people
should, for time yet, experience the effects
OF Republican misrule, 40 that when they do
get their eyes open, they will forever after see
clearly, aud act wisely upon the grave issues
which divide our people.
By their votes, the people have asked for
more taxes. and their request will be complied
with they have indicated their preference
for Negro Suffrage, sand General Cox will try
and not have .hsm disappointed.
We then say to our Democratic friends, be
full OF hope and full Of courage, for the day
of our country's deliverenee is near at hand

The condition Of the couutry is such Just
nov that the most thorough craftsmanship is
needed for its guidance. The course of the
President meets with the approval and receives
the support Of all conservative men of all
parties. and this is hopeful sign. There is,
however, danger that the same 'disloyalty"
which led US into the war will lead us into
new troubles We do not use the word dis
loyalty 10 ils modern American sense, but in
it's proper sense, of emnity TO the Constitution
of the United States. The men who have
beeen most free in casting their accusation
OF disloyalty at their opponents have been 10
point OF fact, Al oil times the most dangerous
enemies Of the government
We seem now TO have arrived at a time when
one may sustain the Administration and at
the same tirne stand by the Constitution, and
siuguarly enough, just at this moment we
ind these very men, who we're little while ago
ioudest in, professions of loyalty, arrayed
against the Authorization and against the
Constitution both II we ask them now what
they support, they DO not pretend that they
support the President, nor even The govern
ment But they will argue that the war 10
ended, and that the exigencies which evoked
their loyalty are gone, and they are now priv
ileged to be disloyal
LUIS argument VIII not hVhll. SpaSm0Qlc
loyalty is worth nothing The condition of
the country is hazardous and uncertain The
future prosperity and unity of the people, the
sustaining Of the grand mission Of the Amer
ican Republic all depend on the wisdom and
prudence of the statesmen at the helm, and
on the present course of the people. Presi-
dent Johnson's policy tends toward unity and
community OF feelings, and of interests The
course of the opposition headed by Stevens
and Sumner, the Tribunes of New York and
Chicago, and other like persons and papers
toward disunion and perpetual anarchy.
The time requires every patriot TO take bis
stand distinctly for or against the policy Of
the President We do not pretend to say
that patriotism requires man to approve his
policy, for patriotism is not Christian vir-
tue, and may often lead men to oppose gov
ernment But this is no day for uncertain
men, o. uncertain parties. Within the next
few weeks, or months at the most, it should
be decided what is to be the course of the pop.
ular will. If to sustain the wise measures of
Mr.. Johnson, good. If to establish the reign
Of radical leaders, then nothing but evil
awaits us.-New York Journal Of Com

The Journal takes issue with our re-
marks on the election of any one, by SOL
diers voting in their camps, now that the
rebellion is over. 1t says that the war is

showing Their Hands.

Since the election, the Pittsburg Ohron-
icle openly claims the result in Penn
sylvania as a negro suffrage victory.
In Iowa, a correspondent of the Chi
cago Republican says
"The anti-negro-suffrags party has gone up
an inelorious spout This city has given the
the Republican ticket over one hundred ma
iorty. This county (Polk) gives Stone about
Two hundred and fifty majority, and the enN
tire county ticket from two hundred and fifty

The anti-negro suffrage party was the
one which supported the soldiers ticket
in that State. Here is an allusion to
them
"Copperheads with soldiers clothes on are
drooping, with no demand, and quotations
are nominal. One dollar of confederate scrip
will cover all their stock in Iowa politics.
1t is evidently the intention of the radi'
Gals, after they have carried the elections
by false pretenses. to saddle upon the peO'

Mr.. Seward and the Fenians.

The London Post, of September 10th in
an article upon the Fenian movement,
says
1.-THE Fenian agents that Mr., Seward is
friendly to the movement; that he sub
scribed to the funds and they even circu-
late copies of supposed letter from Mr..
Seward to the Grand Circle of the Fenisns.
1t is marvellous that people should be
quilted by such stories. 1t is marvellous
that any one should believe that a states
man of Mr.. Stewards position and ability
could be guilty of the folly of countenanc-
ing one of the most absurd ylots ever
devised. For the benefit of the gulls, we
heg to state that Mr.. Sewaad has never
subscribed cent to the Fenian fund and
that he has never written a letter of
sympathy to the Grand Circle or to any
other Fenian, Nor is this all. So far
from aiding. Mr.. Seward has steadily op-
posed the movement. 1t is understood
that two years ago Mr.. Seward, in
friendly and formal manner, called atten-
ton of our Government to the Fenian
movement giving detailed information as
to its organization, numbers and designs.
1t is understood that Mr.. Seward has
lately made further communications as to
Fenianism to our Government. Neither
the public of the United Kingdom nor our
Government will readily forget Mr., Sew
ards honorable and amcable conduct"
So it seems that Mr.. Seward has kept
the British Government apprised of the
movements and strength of the Fenians.
The latter will hardly thank him for that.
