Speech of Gov. Cox.

Gov. Cox addressed a large Union mass
meeting at Urbana, on the 18th inst. 1t is
pronounced one of the very best speeches OF
the campaign. 1t was new in matter and
form. The Governor spoke especially OF
the conflict between the executive and legis-
lative departments of the Government, and
pointed out the dangers which would follow
the Endorsement of the Presidential policy.
Through Congress alone can the people be
heard, and If the Executive can arrogate to
itself legislative powers, then has it establish
ed a despotism subversive of republican gov
eminent. Our safety lies in defeating the
ambitious and dangerous schemes of Mr..
johnson, and in sustaining the representa-
tives of the people. So long as the Presi-
dent did not openly assail our republican
theory of government, the Governor deemed
it advisable to harmonic as far as possible
the executive and legislative departments, but
when danger became apparent, he did not
hesitate to warn his countrymen and expose
the despotic tendencies of the Presidential
theory.

Read This!

The Democratic papers throughout the
country, prompted by the authorities, are as.
serting that the Bounty bill passed by Con.
gress contains no appropriation. 1t should
be known that the Bounty bill forms aclause
in a general appropriation bill, whose enact
ing clauses run thus: "Be it enacted that the
following sums be and the same are hereby
appropriated for the objects hereinafter
expressed, &C.; and it is well understood
here that the bouRties are being held till af-
ter the elections, simply for political effect.
The following letter from the Military
State Agent at Washington, further exposes
the outrageous conduct of Johnson's admin
tration to the patriotic soldiers:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
STATE OF OHIO MILITARY AGENCY,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18th, 1866.
Geo. Locky, Esq, ofMil. Com. Gilead, Wood
Co., o.
Dear Sir-Yours of the 5th inst. is receiv-
ed. You ask: Are the Paymaster General
and Second Auditor stopped from paying un
der the bounty acts passed by the last Con-
gress.
The former states that he is waiting in
structions from those higher in authority
The latter has been instructed by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury not to pay any bounty
passed by the last Congress.
It is my opinion that the President
does not intend a dollar of additional boun-
ty shall be paid a Union soldier or his fami-
ly, if he can help it. Yours truly,
JAMES G. WETMoRE.

Black Soldiers .

G..1 for BIaek Soldiers-Promises for Whie Soldiers
$500 Extra Bounty for Black Soidiers-$lOO Extra
Bounty for White Soldiers.
Congress. in 1856, voted the black soldier $500 for
il. The white veteran gets 800 extra bounty and
Congress appropriated NO MONEY to payit.
No white soldier gets more than SOU as extra
bounty. EVERY negro soldier gets $500 for extra
bounty.
The foregoing was published in the War
rem Constitution of last week. The animus of
the article is to arouse the prejudice of the
white soldier against the black man and also
against the Union parry. 1t is not for tn C
enlightenment of the public mind, but to
mislead it, that such falsehoods are published.
Men are often honestly misled in their views,
but where the only object of an editor is to
deceive, they are not apt 10 enquire for the
facts. A lie well stuck to, answers their pur-
pose better than the truth. The above exc
tract is an instance in point. The facts are
these: Our army was largely recruited from
Southern blacks, who had been slaves, but
made free by the Presidents Proclamation.
That class of recruits were not paid any boun-
ty when they enlisted because the law did not
provide bounties for recruits among freed
men. On June Is, 1866, a law was passed
authorizing the equalization of bounties to
all soldiers who had served a certain period,
irrespective of color. That law provides that
''the omission in the muster rolls of the
words free on or before April 10, 1861, shall
not deprive any colored Soldier of the boun-
ty to which he Is entitled, and which is now
or may hereafter be withheld by reason of
such OMISSION" but the legal presumption
Is he was free at that time. 1t is under
this law the freedman soldier gets his bounty
no more than white, and no less. 1t is an
act of simple justice to the poor blacks who
had rallied around the Union flag, with no
bounty inducement held out to them. Be-
cause they are black men, and have no votes,
the Democrats would deprive them of their
pay, and instead of sympathising with the
poor in their poverty, would make their bur-
dens heavier and their lives more miserable.
That is modern democracy. Echo answers,
.~snoekTacy"
1t is a falsehOOd to say that no provision
is made to pay the white soldier. Congress
has authorized it and the only obstacle is
that Mr.. Mccullough, Johnson's Secretary
of Treasury, does not want to pay it. With
in the week the regulations lave been issued,
and if our soldiers call upon any of our claim
agents they will find it to be as we here state.

The Cleveland convention.

The Soldiers and Sailors Convention, held
last week at Cleveland, was far from meeting
the expectations of the Bread-and- Butter
nuts. Although the call pretended to repre-
sent and to be endorsed by soldiers by the
thousand, the number present were but a few
hundred. There was no enthusiasm-all was
cold as an icicle. The delegates were not
representative men of the Soldiers and Sail
ors of the Union. Would the rebel General
Forrest, of Fort Pillow massacre infamy,
have dared to send a congratulatory despatch
to a genuine Union Convention: Never.
The Convention now in session at Pittsburgh
is the true exponent of the Soldiers and
Sailors. and has more soul, patriotism and
enthusiasm in one minutes proceedings,
than marked the two days of the Cleve land
affair. .

ARMY DEFICIENCY BILL.


1t appeared from letters from the Secreta-
ay of War, Mr.. Stanton. and the Paymaster
General, that there was q deficiency of about
$4,000, 900 in the appropriations of the LIST
session of the s7th Congress, to pay the vol
unteers actually called out under laws pass
ed at that session. 500 Congressional Globe,
End Session, 37th Congress, page 1854 for
these letters. Mr.. Vallandigham interposed
obstacles to the passage of this bill, but it
was finally passed, with only two negative
votes. Mr.. V. did not vote; his mouth was
again shut. He could not open it, for then
his boast that he ''had never voted a dollar to
carry on an unconstitutional war;" would
not have been true.
We might continue Mr.. Vallandigham's
copperhead record at great length, but it Is
all to the same point, encouraging the rebel
lion and opposing the Government. His
elaborate speech, at this extra session Of Con-
gress, had that purpose and no other.
In 1868, he was convicted by a military
commission of discouraging enlistments &c,
and sent beyond our lines, but by rebel favor
itism, found his way into Canada and swat
ed and watched across the border" hoping to
be elected Governor of Ohio, that he might
embarrass the United States Government in
its effort to put down the rebellion. No one
of his friends, that we are aware of, ever
questioned the justice of his conviction, but
bis rebel sympathizers deny the legality of
the Commission that tried him. He now
stands, according to his own admission,
where he has always stood. He nov, with
an apostate President, demands the immedi-
ate admission of unrepentant and unpardon-
ed rebels into Congress in order that the Ma
tional debt may be repudiated, that the reb-
els may gain, so far as they can, what they
have lost by the war, claiming that they have
lost no right by reason of their rebellion
