The Richmond, Va. Times of Sept 7th in
dulges in the following elegant remarks touch
ing the reception given the President by the
Northwest:
The ineffable blackguardsm of the "Great
West is breaking out along the line of the
Presidents journey, like certain cutaneous
eruption upon the epidermis of very dirty and
unwashed subject. The illustrious pilgrim has
reached, like Bunyan's "Christain," a region
which the chosen agents and emissaries of the
Devil have selected as their stronghold, and
where brutal Wolverines, drunken Hoosiers
and fanatical Buckeyes supply the places of
Hategood, Muckrake, Bubble, Bats Eyes and
Timeserver, those pertinacious and malignant
prosecutors of sturdy old John Bunyan's model
of determined and resolute seeker after saliva
ton. Unclean in apparel, offensive to the smell,
loathsome to the touch, and hideous to the eye,
these enemies of law and order have at las;
Ventured under the cover of night, to insult
the President Ly ribald taunts, jeers and clam
ors. When one of these wretches was caught
in the act of hurling an offensive epithet at the
President, and lifted up by the collars of his
greasy coat, he proved to be dirty, red haired,
bloated-face, goggle-eyed beast, who might
have been hired to desecrate Church, and act
as an assistant to Beast Butler in stealing
spoons or in insulting defenseless woman.
But the President marches boldly and bravely
on, ignorant of fear, and delive ring his blows
as fearlessly az when the population of New
York poured forth to do him honor. 1t is
very evident, however, that the spirit of rowdy-
ism is rampant in those strongholds of Radical
ism through which he is now passing, and that
his patience will be sorely taxed by hire d as
sailants before he returns to Washington.

THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER AND
MIR. FINEFROCK,

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has more
effrontery than Mr. Finefrock. 1t repudi-
ates the record which that gentleman
himself dares not ego back on" The
Plain Dealer copies the following extract
from one of Mr.. Finefrock's soar speeches :
Democrats, arm yourselves. Go armed to
the polls Resist the draft, for if blood is to be
shed, it might as well be shed in Sandusky
county as in Abe Lincoln's Slaughter-pens.
And fatty denies it thus
"The above is falsehood, total and unquali-
fed, and has SO been pronounced by Mr. Fine
| frOek. This gentleman never used such an ex-
preston. Mr.. Finefrock used his personal in
huence in Sandusky county to raise the I'D
regiment commanded by his opponent, General
| Buckland. Had Mr. Finefrock not aided Gen.
| eral Buckland at this emergency, Sandusky
county would have had to submit TO draft,
and the men who now support General Buck
land then acknowledged their obligations TO
| Mr. Finefrock for his efforts TO avert draft in
that county"
I NCNCioA ROlhlo Ali NlC dOOfO uOoOlN 2 AuSh
ton. If Mr.. Finefrock has ever denied that
be used the reasonable language quoted,
we are not aware of it AS to the personal
influence he exerted Sin Sandusky county
to raise the 72d Regiment, you can't en-
tighten the people here on that. Itamount-
ed to this: When the draft was pending,
Finefrock was asked to go into the coun-
try and make speeches to stimulate volun-
teering. 1t matter of history that he
did attempt to deliver himself of few
speeches; and it is also VIGOROUSLY true
that he did more EARN than good. He
was opposed to the war, opposed to the
Government, full of bitterness toward
Union Soldiers, and it was simply impos-
sible to get his heart in it. Indeed it was
said and believed that at the same time
he privately advised Democrats not to en-
list. He never contributed penny to the
fund to fill the quota of his own town; he
never gave penny to the fund in aid Of
the families of soldiers, or of soldiers wild
ows and orphans in his own town, county
or District; and he never opened his
purse-strings at the call of any of the great
national, State Or local charities which the
necessities of the war called into existence.
Neither Mr.. Finefrock nor the PLAIN Deal
er will have the brass to deny any of these
statements.

HETTING.

An amusing occurrence happened few
days since on the walk across the way
from the JOURNAL office. A certain dem
ocratic official whom we will call Henry,
"for short" was talking very loudly Of
Mr. Finefrock's prospects of success. He
wanted to bet on F.'s election. He would
put up $500 on it upon the spot After
our Henry had blowed about enough, a
gentleman present quietly offered to take
his bet Another asked to go halves on
it, and the three went down to the Bank
to draw the money. The Union men got
theirs: but at this point Henry's confidence
grew suddenly weak, and he ''guessed he
wouldn't bet" The ''bluff game" wouldn't
work.

HEAVY ARGUMENT.

A specimen of the copperjohnson style of ar
gument is found in low personal attack in the
last Messenger on Mr.. J. D. Griffin. Such
things show the utter desperation to which that
party is driven. For example the editor has
the meanness to malign Mr.. Griffin because he
happened to be little in arrears on his sub
scription to that paper. The editor knows the
same is often true of his best patrons. 1t is so
with US. There is hardly democrat in town
who takes the Journal, from Mr.. Finefrock up,
but is in arrears on bis subscription; but
how would it look for us to attack that gen.
tleman, with public personal abuse on that ac-
count? The party that resorts to such despic-
able means to carry an election, shows its own
weakness and insures its own defeat.

PRESUMPTION AMONG GOVERNMENT


A gentleman of Fremont received a let
ter recently from friend, who holds a
clerksbip in one Of the Departments at
Washington, from which we have permis-
sion to make the following extracts:
"The selfish party who are trying to inaugu-
rate new rule, will let only those go home to
vote who swallow My Policy On the return
of the President, we expect to be decapitated,
as a circular has already been handed around,
in some of the Bureaus, of the copper johnson
platform for endorsement Those that have re-
fused have been spotted for sacrifice, and am
happy to state most of them are of the boys in
blue. In fact list of all non-supporters has
been made out, and when the executioner's axe
falls, it will be quite heavy. l am sorry to say
that some have sold their principles for their
bread and butter, but they are of the weak
kneed and are of no benefit to any party. l
can never sacrifice my principles for which l
fought, nor betray the Republican party, al
though if turned out should not know what
to do nor where to go. The President is trying
to humbug the people that he is carrying out
Lincoln's policy. l Ican't see it. If so, what in
Gods name is he turning out of Office all the
men put there by Lincoln?
Capt -, of whom you spoke, has been home
since the lst of July. He went home on the
plea that his father was not expected to live and
have since learned he has been electioneering
strongly against Bucklsnd. Such is Justice in
these edepartments-one-sid relative to leaves.

friends are after this. He got Capt.-his po-

souTHERH LOYALIsTs AND NORTHERN
TRAITORS.

Fremont will be visited to-day by sever
al gentlemen, more or less distinguished,
from the States lately in rebellion. In
compliance with the request of Union men
here, they will remain several hours and
sneak on the condition of the South and
the all-absorbing subject of Reconstruc-
ton. They come from section which
was stricken with the paralysis of slavery,
and is still suffering from the terrible ef-
fects of war brought on by the advo-
Gates, North and South, of that accursed
institution. During all the years of the
war, they lived in the South, and main
tained unbroken their love for the Union
and their faith in its triumph. In com
mon with many other noble men and wo-
men scattered through the South, they
suffered in person and property, but they
bore persecution because they knew the
Right would win in the end. They have
been witnesses to the malignant spirit OF
Secession. and know full well that where
ever it prevails love of country loses its
strength, public and private honor gives
place to corruption and immortality, edu-
cation is neglected and enterprise Ian
cuisines We have the strongest proof,
and their testimony will confirm it, OF the
prevalence of that spirit to-day in the
Southern States. The journey which they
are making through the loyal North will
show them the contrast between the two
sections of the country. Our cultivated
farms, our growing villages and towns,
our manufacturing establishments, our rail-
roads. our universal thrift and enterprise,
and over all the culture and intelligence Of
our people, will be presented in strong con-
trast with the melancholy condition OF
their own part of the country. Coupled
with this is fact that would strike them
with wonder if it were not so well known,
viz: that there are men in the North who
advocate 3 policy which, If carried out,
would render our condition similar to that
Of the South. 1t is discreditable TO COM
mon humanity, but nevertheless true. But

THE 9.Rg gAr DEMOCRATIC PARTY"

One hears very little now about the
"great Democratic party" 1t is not only
effectually played out as an organization
but the remnant of it is most thoroughly
demoralized. The name has lost its pres
tiqe, and most of the fossils even who
were taken up and carried in the ambu-
lancss of the party in its palmy days
have ignored its existence and hobbled
after other means of conveyance. The
"great democratic party" is no more. 1t
has passed into history. Its leaders, IN
their anxiety to change their condition,
like ancient spinsters, have manifested a
charming alacrity in forming new alli-
ance. They listened to the woOing OF one
johnson, disreputable suitor, and, claim
ing the name of Democracy as their capl-
tai, committed miscegenation-becomlng
henceforth known as COpper-Johnsomtes'
Occasionally the newly welded couple
call themselves the National Union party,
but the head of the family has been so
extravagant in scattering Uniens and Con-
stitutions right and left on his recent
trip, that their supply of that national ar
ticle is about exhausted, and they are do
ing business now under false pretenses.
Time was when to belong to the Demo
cratic party, was to be at the top of the
heap. But times have changed. Demo-
cracy now is merely the copper kettle tied
to the johnson coat-tails where it is swung
around the circle in sorry contrast to Its
additionally proud position. 1t is possible
that there are old Democrats in this So
called National Union affair who honestly,
but ignorantly, believe it is the party OF
other days, and cling to it with the vain
hope that its past glories will be revived.
They may yet be convinced that the Demo
cratic party of their youth is as utterly
and hopelessly defunct, as if the waves OF
oblivion had rolled over it for thousand
wears. The youth and strength and en-
ergy of this great country to-day are found
in the Republican Union organization,
and he who attaches himself to any other
political association, however it may be
called, places himself for the next genera
ton in opposition to the best interests OF
his country, and will have for his COM
panions an imbeeile, dishonest and treason
able minority.

rHE MEEr1NG ruEspAY EVENING,

Notwithstanding the very short notice
and the hard rain, Birchard Hall was well
filled, Tuesday evening last by an intelli-
gent and earnest audience to hear the
veteran Union worker Hon. J. NJ. Roor, of
Toledo, speak on the public questions of
the day. The point which he dvelt upon
more particularly, was the status of the
States lately in rebellion. He held to
the only substantial theory there is, that
these States, by the act of rebellion, sub
verted their local governments and for
feited their rights and privileges as mem
bers of the National Government; that
they cannot resume their former relations
until the Government is ready to have
them do SO; and that the policy of con-
gress and the Union party, in requiring
them to give guarantees for the future
as opposed to the policy of President
johnson and the copperhead party which
demands that they shall be restored un-
qualifedly-is the only policy to pursue if
we would preserve the priceless blessings of
the Union. These propositions were discus
sed in an able manner, and the conclusions
drawn therefrom could not fail to work
conviction in the minds of doubtful hear
ers.

For the purpose of giving our readers
specimen of Mr.. F.'s high style of ora
tory, we present the following extract:
"Mr Buckland made a specch-a speech in

prepared-a speech he had thought over-a
speech before the American Congress- well
digested speech-a speech he had time to reflect
on--a speech he believed speech he had time
to prepare-a long speech-a speech on the 9th
of April-a speech made after due consideration
"a speech made where good speeches ought to
be made-a speech made with deliberation-a
speech he had evidently taken care to prepare
yes, sir, Mr.. Chairman, Mr. Buckland made
speech-a speech from his piece in Congress-
well studied speech-a long speech-a speech
he had studied on-a speech he delivered before
Congress- speech made after he had time TO
prepare it-a speech carefully prepared. Yes,
my fellow citizens, Mr.. Buckland made speech
"a long speech-a speech he had time to pre-
pare-a speech he had thought over-a speech
without excitement. Mr.. Buckland fellow
Democrats made a speech in Congress long
speech-a speech he had spent time on-a speech
from which learn many things. Yes, men of

of documents, and commenced hunting up said
speech. ]-BuewuS Journal.

HOW THE coPPER-JoHNsoNIrEs ELEC
TIONERR WITH THE GERMANS


The last number of the Fremont Cour-
Ter, (German) electioneers against Gen.
BUcKLAND in this style:
at is here, where Buckland is at home, a
well-known fact, that he is one of the greatest
Temperance and Sabbath shriekers, (uuckers
although when ne can do it unseen he can pour
his bitters behind his cravat like other honest
people He will sooner let his stores-of which
he possesses nnmber-stand unoccupied than
rent them for groceries or saloons. Everywhere
is temperance fanaticism raising its head, and
nobody can tell how soon and in what shape the
question may be brought before the Legislature.
No candid man should therefore support Buck
land. Rather not vote at all.
We may remark that ''here at home"
where Gen. Buckland is known the above
style of electioneering is treated by all
honest people with the contempt it de-
serves
The Courier also contains the following
bit Of pleasantly:
@BEN. BUTLER IN TIFFN.-Our neighbor city
Tiffin will, on the I'd of October, have the mis-
fortune TO be visited by the notorious Ben But
Ter, the Hyens of New Orleans Why our
friends in Tifin are deserving of such disgrace
and misfortune is the secret of an all-wise and
inscrutible Providence, that we can no more ac-
count for than the appearance of the chOrlera or
rinderpest in our midst. Fortunately, will
the stay of this nuisance be of short duration,
and by strict police arrangement, and the hid
ing of everything valuable, our friends in Tiffin
may hope to escape the evil up to the danger of
moral contagion. Generally, said Tifin slarge
enough to shelter two such men within its walls
at the same time as Butler and Gibson"

of Pollard, of the Richmond Examiner, is
gladdened. Hear his jubilatiou:

you feel in your own person all the pain you
have inflicted upon the defenceless When you
die may your carrion be thrown to the dogs,
and may they, loathing your vile flesh, leave it

our air and soil too long. Go! Relieve US OF
your insufferable presence. Relieve US Of an
offensive object that provokes US to blaspheUy.
As we revere and love Jefferson Davis, so do we

In speech at recent meeting in Mas
sachusetts, Ben. Butler forcibly illustrated
the manner in which the President has
lowered his dignity. He asked his hear
ers how it would sound to hear of George
Washington making such circuit as John
son had made and on such an errand.
Let them imagine that scene at Cleveland,
and hear the crowd saying, "Don't gel
mad, George, ""Keep your temper, George

what the Presidential office is reduced by
