that your readers should know that
there was one convened here last
week, in which Col. o. F. Moore,
''spoke his piece" during the deliv-
cry of which, he attempted to EN-
bellish it with latin phrases. and by
reading the contents of small "doc-
ument," which he stated he had cut
out of Websters dictionary. For
an hour and a half, he "darkened
council, by words without knowl-
edge" in endeavoring to prove that
the Presidents policy ofreconstruc-
ton, is constitutional, and that of
Congress in violation of the cOnsti.
tuition; that the great majority of
rebel soldiers, have given satisfacto-
~ assurance of their loyalty to the
Government. and entertain senti-
ments Of the highest regard for un-
ion soldiers, and therefore, all the
rebel States should be at once rep
resented in Congress, and that it is
unconstitutional to keep them out of
the council of the nation. In short, the
principal portion Of his speech, consis
ted of mere assertions, with no facts
to support them. For the censola-
ton of Johnson Democrats, ! will
just state that there we're upon &C
tual count, eight Democrats. includ-
ing the speaker, in attendance, three
of whom came with him, there were
also. n few Union men and boys
present to "kill time" When Col
Moore, 'had finished his sayings"
he and his three friends, departed
for Meals mill, in Walnut township.
Arriving at that place, and finding
no one present to address, he sent
forth messengers "iRto the highways,
and region round about, to gather
together all as many as they could
find both bad and good" to hear the
speech. But many ''that were bid
den, would not come" Others
made light of it, and went their
WAYS, one to his farm, another to his
merchandise" "After these things"
a few collected and were addressed
by Col. Moore, in q windy sort OF
speech. PATRIOT.

Convention OF soldiers, to put in
nomination ticket composed exelu-
sively of the ''boys in blue" The
response by these veterans was no.
bly done, and worthy of imitation
They came together in large num-
bers, but instead of doing what the
copperheads intended they should,
they crowded them aside, and adopt
ed a preamble and resolutions ef the
true Union ring. We copy one of
the resolutions:
"Resolved. That the soldiers of
this county will not, directly or in
directly, lend their assistance, in any
way, shape or form, to the further
ance of the ends or aims of the Dem
oeratic party"

f. 1t will be remembered that an
attempt was made last year to lay
the Atlantic cable, but that it parted
in mid ocean and was lost, and all
attempts to recover it at that time
failed. After the laying of the new
cable, the Great Eastern proceeded
on hunt for the lost cable, and after
4 search of near thirty days, found
1t and brought it to the surface, and
now we have the news of her safe ar
rival at Hearts Content, on Saturday
last, and the laying of the old cable
in good working condition. Thus
We have two lines to Europe, both in

Last week we gave an extract
from ;ha Richmond Times. claiming for
the South. if the party organized at
Philadelphia should triumph in the ap-
prosehing elections. "the best fruits OF
its victory" in which ''tne honor and
political rights of the South viii be for
ever secure" What some of these
rights are may be inferred from an edi-
torisl in the Mobile Register. the editor
OF which was delegate to Pbilsdel-
phia That paper says:
We believe that Confederate sol
diers have at least an equal right TO re-
cognition of their services Is those who
served on the Federal side. Many of
US, 10 our heart OF hearts. believe
them 20 have far better right-as
much better as better cause can make
it-as much better as right is than
wrong. n
If the Confederate soldiers "have q
jar better right" to recognition BY the
Government. Of their services. than
Union soldiers. how lcng will it be, after
they get power. before that right is
made manifest? 1t win be done just as
soon as they get power. and the John
sou Democratic party of the North will
assist them to do it. Thus treason will
be rewarded-thus Union soldiers viii
have to take back seats. And this is
the policy" which our Democrats are
supporting.

The Mass Convention,

A Democratic mass convention
assembled at the Court House, last
Saturday, for the purpose Of going
through the form of nominating can
didstes for the County officers.
Besides the business OF the con.
vention, there was announced q
speech by the Johnson copperhead
candidate for Congress in this dis
trict, Hon. o. f. Moore. There was
a slim attendance of Democrats, with
plentiful sprinkling of Union men
as lockers or.
The proceedings of the convention
we're conducted Ia Philadelphia,
every thing being settled in com
mittee rooms, and the crowd meekly
asserting to it under the engineering
of the managers. The platform OF
the Ohio Democracy adopted May
lth, and the declaration OF princi-
pies of the Philadelphia convention,
were taken as the platform of the
Gallia Democracy. The nomina-
tIons. made by committee, the
masses being allowed to vote aye on
the whole ticket, were:
Probate Judge. j. Bing.
Auditer-C. Schaffer.
Recorder-Homer Robinson.
Commissioned. i. Upton.
Infrmary Direetor--Jo Jones.
A bid fer the soldiers vote was
made by giving two soldiers the
empty honor of a nomination. II
there was any chance OF an election
the soldiers would have to take a
"back seat"
After the business OF the conven-
ton was transacted, Mr.. Moore ad-
dressed the audience. His speech
was composed of attacks upon the
Union party, from which he has spos
tacised and upon Congress, with the
worn ont refrain Of his leader, Andy
Jonson, that the constitution must
be maintained. Congress was charg-
ed with having but one idea, the
dogma Of negro suffrage, while its
members were violating the consti-
tuition, and were as much disunion-
lists in principle as JEFF. Davis. To
maintain the constitution, the South
ern States must be allowed immedi-
ate representation in ongress, must
be admitted with all Il cir powers as
States intact, and the Government
had no right to dictate terms for
their future good behavior. The old
bugbear Of the Democracy, negro
equality, was exhibited in all its ram.
Ifications, and with all the terrors, so
potent to the Democratic mind. In
conclusion we were warned against
that lawless body, Congress, whose
object was to establish negro suffrage
and keep control of the Government
If one could have cast aside all
recollection Of the rebellion as readi-
ly as the speaker did all mention of
IT in his argument, he might have be-
lieved from the speech, that the
South was cheated Of her rights, and
wonderfully i'll treated by the Gen.
eral Government. The most notabls
