Union.

The Journal of this morning beats the
air like a puglist blinded with blood.
Among a thousand and one tales, it re-
ierates that the Chicago Convention re-
solved that the war was failure. BY
leaving off two words, the lie is told
The Convention resolved no such thing.
1t resolved that the war was failure TO
restore tie Union. And that is true
The war is over. The Union is not re.
stored and the Dayton Journal is op-
posed to the Union to-day. 1t advocates
the election Of Bob SchenclS to the SEN
ate, and he is to-day an avowed disunion
list. He is for keeping States out of the
Union ten, twenty, or even Thirty years,
until the magnanimous conqueror shall
have been able e!fectually to kick the life
out Of the conquered, A policy worthy
of the General who made war upon wo-
men and children, and so gallantly rout-
ed funeral professions, by succession of
brilliant charges in the streets of Balti-
more. The man who advocates the de.
priving States OF their rights is a traitor
The man who, possessing power with Of
flee, does it, is usurper. "The Federal
Government exists only by virtue Of the
Federal Constitution, and possesses no
powers not granted by that instrument"
The assumed right of the sword, is an at
tack upon the Constitution OF the United
States. Rebels did not regard the Con-
stitution, you loyalists say; we know that
very well, but because they have eaten
half the cheese, is no reason why you
should eat the other half. Because the
rebellion was an attack upon the Union,
furnishes no reason why you should at
tack the Union by the exercise of Federal
power. The War is over-the Union is
not restored, aud the Republican party Of
Ohio is opposed to its restoration. They
who control that party have not been in a
natural position during the war. Money
made them Union men " for this occasion
only" They denounced Union men be-
fore the war as "the Union Savers. -
After tho war, they care less for Union
than for power and plumber. They wan
provinces to govern, where they will mo-
have to ask the consent of the governed
for they know that their lease Of power
will be short. The true Unionists will
soon assume the reins Of Government by
command of the governed. Then, and no
till then, will the Union be restored.

that he will explain why he deserted his
country TO serve a man who had Just been
convicted aud punished for disloyal conduct.
Journal
IL the journal was not utterly and
hopelessly lost to all sense OF shame, il
would blush at the reiteration of so stupid
and malignant falsohood. The gentle
man referred to was never convicted and
punished for disloyal conduct" lie was
kidnapped by an aimed military force
torn away from bis home and family at
the dead hour Of midnight-underwent
the farce of trial by drum-head court,
organized and intended to convict with
out regard to evidence, and banished into
an exile from which he voluntarily relieved
himself without asking consent from the
miserable despotism of which he was for q
while the victim. The journal knows all
this, and yet persists in such miserable
falsehoods as tho above. The motive is
clearly apparent, but that does not render
the crime any the less hagrAnt or despic-
able.
