We trust that no Lorain county voter
whatever his politics, who can possibly
attend the mass-meeting at 0berlin to-
day, win fail 10 do SO. The speakers an
nounced are A. J. Hamilton, Ex-Governor
of Texas, a Southern Unionist, who, still
standing by the principles and party
which johnson has deserted, is now wa
ging war upon the policy OF that Presi-
Dental renegade; General Garfield, who
fought bravely for the Union in the arena
Of battle, and who is now fighting for it
with equal effect in another field; and
Martin Welker, the Representative of
Lorain County in Congress, to whose
fidelity and devotion the Unionists of his
district have just testified by unanimously
renominating him. The topics of discus
sion are of immediate and pressing i'm
portance. Let the Union men of Lorain
arouse themselves. Let them remember
that to carry their own Congressional dis
trict they have got TO work. Let them
be present en- 1sasse at the Oberlin meet
ing today.

Another speech from Mr.. Johnson.

President johnson has published sup
plement to the autobiography delivered
by him on occasion of the visit Of
the Philadelphia Committee. The pre-
text for the second rehersal of the Life
and Public Services of Andrew johnson
was a call from 3 delegation of the Ma
tional Labor Convention. Mr.. johnson
forthwith refers TO his record and demon
strates from that curious and contradictory
service that he is the best friend the labor
ing man ever had. just as he has demonstrate
ed on previous occasions from the same
record, his friendship for the colored race,
his loyalty to the Union, and his determi-
nation to make treason odious. The Gre
cord is about IS good in one case as an
other. Andrew johnson once declared
that treason should be made odious. He
fllalls his promise BY restoring traitors to
places of power. Andrew johnson once
promised to be the Moses of the colored
man. He has fulfilled his pledge by
Memphis riot and 3 New Orleans nassa-
Gre So Andrew johnson once pledged
himself to the interests of labor and the
laboring man, but he is none the less in
the hands of the slave-holding aristocracy
who having failed to destroy the Union
are now seeking to govern It and to re-
duce the Northern "mud-sills" to political
slavery.

The EIghteenfh district.

The Democracy are chuckling in great
glee at the hope that there viii be nom
nation made in opposition to Judge Spal-
ding in case he should avow himself in
favor of Mr.. Johnson's policy. They
hope in that event to run in their own
candidate, owing to the division in the
Republican ranks. Let them not lay that
fattering JUNCTION to their souls The
Republican strength of this district isn't
going to be divided, but if it were split
into equal parts, each half would number
moce votes than the entire Democratic
strength. Do You want the proof7 The
vote OF the district at the last Congres-
sional election in 1854 was as follows:

Col sentsr Renuhtntet

The Union party of Ohio do not pro
pose to be sold out to Johnsonism by Col
onel Senter A meeting of the Union
State Central Committee has been called
70 appoint member of the National Un-
isn Executive Committee, in place of Col
onel Senter, who, as the Cincinnati Gazette
says, has "united his interests with the
johnson renegadesa an ] Democrats" This
rebuke to Mr.. Senter has been well mer-
tied. That gentleman knew that in his
support of Johnson's policy he abused his
position as the Ohio member of the Ma
tional Union Committee and nis-repre-
sented tho Union men of Ohio. Had he
resigned his position before desertia.s "a
the enemy, he would st once have acted
more honorsbly and have saved himself
the humiliation which his unceremonious
removal viii bring with it.

Arrival Of Capt. Fox in Russia.
On the sth the United States Extraordi-
nary Commissioners, accompanied by Gen.
Clay, the American Minister, had an inter
view at the palace of Peterhoff with the
Emperor, to whom they presented the fol-
lowing address:
"SIRE The resolution which have the
honor Of presenting to Your Imperial Ma
jestY is the voice of people whose millions
Of lips speak from a single hesrL The
many ties which have long bound together
the great Empire Of the East and the great
Republic of the West, have been multiplied
and strengthened by rns uuwEYvriDg Gde4i-
ty of the Imperial Government to our land
throughout its recent period of commissions.
The words of sympathy and friendship ad-
dressed to the Government at Washington
by command Of Your Inn srial Majesty, are
fixed in the eternal remembrance Of grate-
ful country. As one of the wide family of
nations, we yield our willing homage to
that noble act of humanity which is espeei-
ally referred to in the resolution of Con-
gress. The peaceful edict of an enlightened
sovereign has consummated triumph over
an inherited barbarism which our western
republic has reached through long years of
bloodshed.
at is therefore with profound emotion
that we offer to Your Imperial Majesty, to
the emancipated subjects, and to all the
people of this vast realm, our heartfelt con-
gratulations on the providential escape from
danger which led to this spontaneous ex-
preston of regret for the attempt and thank
:ulness for its mercIful arrest and failure.
The story of peril from which kind Pro-
vidence has delivered Your Imperial Ma
jesty, brings with il the remembrance of the
mighty sorrow which so lately filled every
loyal heart in our own land at the sudden
loss Of our chief, our guide, our father. We
thank God that grief like this was spared
to our friends and allies, the Russian peo-
pie. May the Father of all nations and all
rulers protect, prolong and bless the life
which He has so signally preserved for the
service of the people to which it belongs, for
the good of mankind and the glory Of His
holy name. G. Y. Fox,

Post says:
have precise information as to the OBJ
ject of the Empress Carlotta's visit to Paris.
It is TO obtain q release for the present from
the obligation Of paying what is due to
France out of the proceeds Of the Mexican
custom houses. The inYasions of the in
surgent bands have greatly reduced their
proceeds, which are confined to the port of
Vera Cruz. The Mexican government re-
quires even with the strictest economy 5OO,-
900 piastres monthly for its indispensable
expenses, and for some time past has not
been in receipt of more than two-ffths Of
that sum from customs. The financial con-
dition of the Mexican government is thus
reduced to the lowest ebb.

But there will be no such division. Nine

are radical They can not be made to
vote for any johnson candidate, Of what

Mass Meeting.
MEMPHIS, August 25.-An immense mass
meeting was held at Court House Square
tonight to ratify the proceedings of the
Philadelphia Convention. Gen. Forrest pre-
sided and addressed the meeting. He said
he wanted no more fighting, and when he
laid down his arms he bore malice agsins;
no Northern man. He said those politicians
who staid at home were not to be trusted.
He was willing to trust everything to those
he had met upon the field, but those who
shirked their duty and were casemated in
Washington could no more be trusted than
those who did the same thing in the South.
He was followed by Hon. Gustavus Henry
in an eloquent and lengthy address Reso-
lutions were adopted accepting the address
of the Philadelphia Convention, and en-
dorsing the President.
The meeting was one of the largest and
most enthusiastic ever held in this city.
Cotton Crop
AUGUSTA, GA, August 25.-The prospects
of the cotton crop in all parts of the State
are gloomy, on account Of the continued
drought. In southwestern Georgia, where
the yield formerly was one bale to two
acres, not more than one bale to ten acres
will be realized from the present crop. This
is equally true of other sections. Accounts
from Florida represent the late dreughts as
followed by heavy rains, which has Sc
riously injured the cotton. The cotton pros
poets in Mississippi and Alabama are rep
resented to be very bad, on account of the
drought and ravages of the Ball worm.
A large public meeting was held in front
of City Hall to ratifY the proceedings of the
late National Union Convention at Phila-
delphia. The speakers were General Dur
ben Ward, of Ohio, and Hon. E. o. Perrin,
of New York.
