Liberty OF Person.

We read, in the Chicago TriJune oflast
Saturday, an account of an assault upon NJ.
Vallandigham at Eaton, Ohio. By the
version Of The Tribune it seems that Mr.
Vallandigham went to Eaton to attend to
some business there. The young men"
Of Eaton, upon learning of his arrival as
sembled in a crowd, went to the house in
which he was stopping and called for him.
Knowing vel, the character of the "young
men" Mr. Vnllandigham fled through the
back door Of the house and the 'young
saen' pursued him, overlook him at the
train and there Knocked him down.
This is all the details the Tribune gives
Of this little incident.
We have looked in vain through the ar
ticle for one word of censure of the
rather summary course ofthe "young men. "
This is rather surprising, considering tn ,
former course Of this journal.
We remember we'll. the days when if a
long-haired, shad-belied, closc-6sted,
thieving, Yankee tin-ware peddler was
kicked out Of Southern town-even
though for stealing-this same journal
would set up howl for him so long and
loud, and piteous and hideous as to gitate
the whole land In fact its columns con.
tanned continuous howl for freedom of
speech and freedom Of person. What a
change is herel II has so far recovered
from this mania for freedom and liberty as
TO chronicle, calmly, and hardly with com
ment, brutal, unprovoked assault by a
band of cowardly ruffians upon peaceful
citizen while engaged in his private bust
ness, and whose only offense consisted in
being a democrat. 1t mildly terms
these poor, ignorant brutes the young men
Of Eaton"
This is abolition consistency; and thus
they have duped and beguiled the pc ople
until from crawling upon their bellies and
eating dirt, as Of yore, they now walk up
right and assume the form of men, Thanh
God there is 70 all things. Wher
the end to these "tnings" comes the country
may we'll be exceeding glad.

President johnson has signifed to the
late rebellious States that in order to be
admitted to their former privileges in the
Union, they must not only abolish slavery,
but must also adop. the anti-slavery Con-
stitutional Amendment. Will the Demo>
crat also endorse this portion of the Pres
ident's reconstruction policy p w. c.
Republican.
AS an abstract proposition, we have no
doubt OF the prOpriety OF the slate REBEL
ious States" adopting the amendment Of
the Constitution prohibiting slavery. We
believe from all the information we have
on the subject, that it would be their In
terest tc do So; but we also believe that
Mr.. johnson had no right whatever to
make that a condition precedent to their
readmission "to their former privileges. "
He certainly had right to advise and
recommend to the southern States such
action in regard to this or any other SUBJ
ject, as he thought proper, but not one
whit more right to demand of the southern
States the passage of the amendment. than
he had to make the same demand Of the
northern States Either the late rebel
ious States are in, or out Of the Union.
If in the Union, then clearly lie has no
right to say what their State Legislatures
shall, or shall not do; if out OF the Union,
then very clearly they have n more right
to vote on the subject of the amendment
than the States of South America. In
either case the requirement spoken of by
the Republican is made without right, and
is an unwarrantable assumption OF power
| by the President.

PLYM OUTH, INDIANA:
Proclamation.

closing scenes of a most even tful
y = rin8with them the appropriate time
70 offer up to Divine Providence the tribute
Of our thanksgiving and praise. If, hereto
fore, such times have been observed, in
anywise, in obedience to the demands Ut
custom. rather than as a grateful offering
to God. the signal mercies and kindness
we have. as a nation been made the re-
cipients of during the present year, should
surely awaken US to a newer and fuller re-
alization than ever of the reverence and
gratitude due to him who holdeth the des
TIMES Of nations in His hands.
Our long and bloody civil war IS ended,
and Peace again smiles upon the land; and
the end shows US that God ha~ been with
us, giving victories to our armies, and
guiding the councils of the nation.
Our harvests have been plenteous. and
the rewards of every branch of industry
and labor have been ample. Neither FAM
inc nor pestilence have been known in our
borders, and although We are called upon
to lament the loss of many Of our brave
soldiers who have given their lives as
sacrifice for their country, yet the return
Of so many thousands to their homes from
bloody fields, made illustrions by their valor
is source Joy to all. The future is full
of hope for the enduring peace and pros
perity Of the State, and illimitable pros
poets for national progress, power and glo-
~, are spread out before us.
In view of these many blessings, and in
compliance not only with custom, but the
convictions of duty, ] DO hereby appoint
Thursday, the 9TH of December next as a
day of Thanksgiving and prayer to Al
mighty God for his mercies, and earnestly
recommend to the people of In Llama, that,
laying aside their ordinary avocations, they
assemble themselves together in their usual
places Of worship, and observe~hat day in
the manner designated, bringing to God
the incense of grateful hearts, and not for
getting to share their abundance with the
poor and needy around them.
In witness whereof, have hereunto set
my hand at the Executive Chamber, in In.

sulde us that the pOacher is quite satis-
leu ns 10 the morality of his amuse-
ntent, nor shall anybody persuade us
that an Irishman really thinks thnt he
has a good cause for learning, in his
shabby way, how to cut our thronts 5
and raise the stars and stripes. or nny
other flag on Dublin Castle. So far as
regards any intention of this sort, VIC
can tell him exnctly how 1t will be in
the happily improbable event of n war
Detween thls country and the United
states. The War Office at Washington
Will follow the example of the War Of
lice here, and will, perhaps, be even
wiser IN its generation. 1t will do lust
what answers its purpose, without a
particle OF sentiment. We should very
much doubt whether it will run the
risk OF throwing away its ships or its
men upon Ireland; but If 1t should hap
pen that the Irish p persu a led them ofn IL
sing IN that country SUFFICIENT to embar-
rasS England and occupy its attention
lin that case it is ust possible Amerf-
ca would send over n small force, as 1t
were, to. inoculate Ireland and bring
out strong Trash" ON its surface. This
would probably be mt time when we
were much engaged in some other quar-
ter, so as to feel the abstraction of 20, 900
men: We Will not speculate as to the
result of the supposed campaign, nor Is
Unnecessary, for in any result, whether
success or tn1lure, the Americans would
eventually withdraw their force
from Ireland, and leave it's excited nom
ulntiOn to our own tender mercies.
We trust in that dark hour the counseIs
of mercy would prevail, and that Eng
land would interfere to assauape the
fury of tnctions, and even to soften the
ayenger of blood. But there is such a
thing as martial law, and there have
been some commanders APT to give a.
free vent to their sense of Indignation
and their hatred of treason. There are
men IN this county we should be sorry
indeed, to let loose upon Ireland, even
should Ireland itself lack, al that crisis,
an adequate representative of British
loyalty and Orange predilections. The
only result of the comparative handful
America, from her great distance,
would be able to throw upon Ireland,
would be most dangerous encourage
ment to the disRtfected, and something
more than encouragement-R fatal ne
cessity to show themselves. Thousands
of poor fellows, who now only talk of
repeal, would find themselves Obliged
10 declare themselves enemies of this
country. They could not possibly re-
ceive such backing from America MS
TO give them even n days security in
any part of the Island, and they would
shortly find themselves compelled to
sue for peace in u manner most repul-
slYe to their feelings of self-respect, or
submit to annihilRtion. As for Amer
lea, If she had succeeded in diVertinE
some 10000 or $4,000 British soldiers
fronl more critical points, and giving
us some extra trouble and expense, she
would not shed many tears over the
fate of the Irish dupes.

Considering the part which the LON
don Tones plays in forming public opin~
ion in England, it is well to know what
the correspondent of the Tunes, in this
country, writes to his paper. And this
Is IA part of what Mr.. Jennings has to
say in the last letter, which has come
back to the United States in print:
at is impossible TO mingle in differ
ent classes of American society without
being impressed with the depth and
earnestness of the irritation which ex-
lists toward England. People who form
an untilvOrable Judgment OF Mr.. Sew
ard for writing dispatches to England
in tone of nsperity cannot have suffi-
GENTLY considered the fact that the
President and his Cabinet ar econstant-
ly in the position of offering resistance
to an external pressure which, If left to
itself, would soon precipitatc collision
with Great Britain. However unjustly,
the large majority of Americans hon
eStlY believe that England has behaved
very badly toward them throughout the
late war. This conviction is not con-
fined to the lower classes, by whom it
is exhibited in n strong desire to strike
bnck u vindiCtiVe blow mt England. but
it has penetrated tho minds OF the most
thoughtful and moderate of the higher
AAAAAAA5 OA w uORS
not arise from intemperate anger, but Is
founded to some extent on reason, rs it
is part of my present object to show.
There nre, it is true, many who hate
England without knowing why, and
the number is comparatively few who
are able to give any explanation for the
bitterness they express. Again, there
is n large class, contractors and the like,
who hnve n direct interest in fomenting
ignorant prejudice against England"
The following extract contains that
singular mixture of truth and error for
which one would naturally look in n
letter to the Times:
"To this very hour there remains a
large loyal Northern party in the United
States, which constantly asserts in
newspapers and private life, that the
war was an unrighteous ono, that II
ought never to have been waged, that
the principal of State rights give the
South full liberty to secede, that the
constitution has been violated, and that
slavery is not abolished. A very large
section of the party called Democratic,
and which aspires to rule the next cleo
tions, and seem likely to do so, main
tain these opinions.

THE WOMEN OF THE SoUTH.-Govern-
or BrownlOw thus speaks of the South
ern women, in his paper, the Knoxville
Whig: "From the commencement of
the rebellion until now, the devil and
the women of the South have been the
ablest allies the cause of treason had in
the field. The Influence of the women.
backed up by his Satanic NIniesty'
filled the ranks of the rebel armies,
and gave nrdor and endurance To the
hen-pecked men that entered the SER
vice. Southern women even peti-
toned the rebel Congress to enact the
law of conscription, so as to force ali in
the service. Through the influences
which women had, thousands were
forced into the field, and thence to their
graves, Who never would have left home.
Playing into the hands of the devil, by
linus hlling his ranks, they had his np-
proval all the time. Wives gave uD
their husbands, sisters their brothers.
and mothers their sons-willing, nay,
anxious to immediate their lives to the
Moloch of war. The women were will
ling to wear homespun; ready to dis
pense with the luXuries of the table or
toilet; ready to fling all their iewelrv
into the Confederate crucible; ready 10
unseS themselves for the cause of tie
devil and the Confederacy."
