Er The Johnson Democracy held

~ The johnson Democracy held
another Mass Meeting on Monday.
There was about the same turn out as
at the previous meeting, and the
same lack of spirit, with the excep-
ton Of the display of a couple of
Union flags behind the speakers
stand, we suppose to sccustom the
copperheads to their new role as the
Union Saving Party. The great
guns announced for the occasion,
Gen. Rousseau and Judge Thurman
failed to make their appearance, but
the Democracy were helped out of
the dilemma by the timely arrival of
Ex-Gov. Pillsbnry, who has just re-
ceived from the late election in
Maine, indubitable evidence that his
services are not needed in his own
State, for the present at least. This
Down East Yankee was great ad-
dition to the force Of speakers pres
eRt. His speech was polished eff
fort, and finely delivered, but we are
inclined to think, that he will fail in
his avowed object of convincing DO
litical opponents, as signally with
the people of Gallia, as his defeat in
Maine proves he has in lis own State.
The gentleman employed all his elo-
quence to show the heart felt repen-
lance of that Prodigal son, the South,
and that the Southerners were mar
tyrs to the misdeeds of the radical
North. Mr.. Moore then spoke to
perceptibly thinner audience. His
speech was lame production, not
to the standard of his previous effort
After claiming all the Union Gems.
and every body else as supporters of
my policy, he foretold his defeat by
disclaiming any personal desire to
be elected and expressing a deter
mination to go down in q blaze of
glory. We think the gentleman will
be accommodated in the comin cleo
ton. The meeting wound up with
an excuse from Mr.. Bingham of a
bad cold, followed by few remarks
from the gentleman, that showed a
bad cold was an excuse for lack of
many things, besides of voice.

retufhcd to their old places in Con-
gTess, Union men ousted to make
room for them and the whole power
of the Government placed in their
hands, they will accept the situation
and in the future be loyal; such q
Government they will submit to and
sustain. But if distinctions are to
be drawn between loyal men and
traitors and the power of the Gov
ernment be retained in the hands of
the men who stood true to it during
the war, then with such q Govern
ment they will have nothing to do,
and will be found arrayed against it
whenever occasion offers. Are the
"boys in blue" ready to stand back
and give these late rebels control of
the country5 Are they ready to see
Lee and johnson put upon an equal
ity with their own Grant and Sher-
man, and the rebel flag fleating side
by side with the glorious old stars
and stripes? Soldiers, above all
men, should know that there is q
wide difference between treason and
loyalty, and that while the one de-
serves reward, the other Is odious
and should be punished.

Let US Work.

The trying time in our national
life is near at hand. We have met
armed treason in the field and over
came it, and now we must meet it at
the ballot-box and defeat it there, or
else all our blood, and life, and treas
ure, have been expended in vain.
Treason mast be made odious, and
traitors punished, or else the battle
has been fought in vain. If the trail
tors who sought to destroy the Gov
ernment are to come back to the full
enjoyment Of all its rights and privi-
leges, equal with those who fought
to preserve it, with no guarantees
for future good behavior and loyalty,
then may we expect the same scenes
to be enacted over in the future, and
another. war, with all of its sacrifice
of life and treasure, to be precipita-
ted upon the country.
The parties asking your votes are
the same now as during the war. On
the one side are the loyal men of the
country-the men who saved the
Government from destruction, and
hesitated not at any sacrifice of life
and treasure to accomplish 1.-THE
men who fought rebels in the field
and the men who fought copperheads
at home. On the other side you
have the so-called democracy, who,
In 1864, declared the war a failure
who opposed the draft and harbored
deserters-who cheered JEFF. Davis
and called Lincoln a tyrant-who
voted not man or dollar to prose
cute the war-who called the soldiers
''Lincoln hirelings"-who, indeed,
sympathised wholly and fully with
the rebels, and in all ways possible
gave them aid and encouragement.
These are the parties-the same
now as when Brough and Vallandig-
ham were opposing candidates for
Governor-made up of the same
men, and holding to the same prin-
ciples.
The question to be decided is no
wise different or less important. 1t
is simply-whether loyal men or.
rebels shall control this Government
the same that was in issue on the
battle field. Then it was fought with
bullets, but now it has to be decid
ed with the ballot. All other ques-
tions are purely subterfuges-blinds
on the part of the enemy to hide and
cover the real issue.
Let US to work then-let no one
falter or hold back-but let us all
give to the few remaining days of
the campaign our best energies, and
SO scatter the words of truth, and SO
incite others to activity in the good
cause--in the cause of loyalty against
treason-as that the result shall shew
not only an increased Union vote,
but a largely increased Union ma
jority. We can do it if we will work.
Maine has set US an example. Let
US initiate it.

Guerrilla Outrage in Kentucky
Kidnapping of a United States
Hail Agent-Fears for his life--
Particulars of the affair,

During the war, DIR. &. W. Ferris,
who had been a resident of Client, O
small town on the Kentucky side of
the Ohio river; little this side of
Madison, occupied the very unenvia-
BILE position of Provost Marshal of
that delectable District in which are
the towns of Warsaw and Ghent.-
During his administration rebel sol
dier was hung there, by order of Gen.
Burbridge, and another was killed
while endeavoring, in company with
some comrades, to escape from
small party of Union troops headed
by Ferris. Strange as it may appear,
a Grand Jury of Carroll county, sit
ting at Ghent, recently made the
killing of these rebel soldiers pre-
tence for a bill of indictment for
murder against Ferris.
For some time past Ferris has held
the position of mail agent, making
regular trips between this city and
Louisville, in carrying on the bust
ness of his Office.
At about half-past y O'Clock OF
night before last, as DR.. Ferris was
in the act of handling the mail bags,
on the deck of the General Buell., at
Client, passing them TO the Post
master of the place, he was seized
by three men and dragged up the
bank despite his struggles and de-
mands to be released.
These men, Richard Morrow, a
deputy sheriff. and two brothers of /
the name of Kemper, all of whom (
had served in the rebel army, as
serted that they arrested him on the
strength of an Indictment for the
murder OF one of the men before
mentioned, but failed to show any
warrent. Ferris called TO the people
on the boat and begged that they

e That section of the propese,

H That section of the proposed
constitutional amendment which re-
fers to representation, in fact pro-
poses to base representation in Con-
gress and the electoral college upon
white population, the South and
President Johnson's party are con-
stantly crying out against and for a
white mans government. What OBJ
lection then can they have to the
amendment? None, if they are con-
sistent. But they are not consistent,
and therefore while on the one hand
they advocate making this exclusive
ly a white mans government, on the
other hand in order to secure addi-
tional political power, they demand
that every negro in the South shall
be counted as the equal of q white
man in making up their proportion
of representation. In other words,
they are not content with equality of
political power in the Government
they sought to destroy, but demand
that a rebel in South Carolina should
haye thrice more political represen-
tation than a loyal man in Ohio.
This will not do, gentlemen. II is
enough that we overlook your trea
son and receive you back into the
Government on an equality with
loyal men, without giving you power
to which you are not entitled and
which you never possessed.
