PRESCRIPTION.

The removal OF PALEMoN JOHN as assessor
of Internal Revenue for this District and
the appointment of ROBERT j. CLARK to that
office, is the most fragrant political outrage
ever perpetrated upon party. 1t is not
usual case ofpOlitical prescription. Dr. John
has peculiar claims upon the respect and sup
port of the present Administration. He has
been for years the publisher of an able
Union Journal, in a County where the dom
unant party is intensely disloyal He has
struggled against adverse circumstances
such as would have discouraged any man
with the usual amount Of courage and en-
ergy, and has fought the battles of Right,
perseveringly and successfully.
He has doubtless by the display of the
honorable and courageous qualities he show
ed, made himself enemies of professed Re-
publicans, who have not the soul to appre-
ciate his merits and his Iabors, and who
envy him the possession and display of those
hign parts, which they feel they stand so
much in need Of Such men would embrace
the first opportunity to strike down one so
much above them and their enmity and
jealousy is the highest need of praise they
could accord him. They may, by means of
a renegade President, and faithless Ad-
ministration deprive him of Office, but they
cannot wrest from him his high reputation
as an honest and faithful officer, and his
great renown as a valiant champion of the
cause of equal rights.
We must confess that we are somewhat
surprised to see ROBERT F. CLARK lending
hims9lf to senator BUOKALEw and doing the
dirty work Of this faithless Administration.
Mr. CLARK has disappointed his many friends
in this County. The assura nee from those
who have known him longer, that nothing
better was to be expected from him, does
not lessen that disappointment. He has
placed himself in position where no hon
orable man would be found, and as he has
made his own bed, so let him lie in it. IF
the Vaccinations of Copp erheads are con-
genial to his feelings, let him aid them in
carrying out their scheme for Furnishing
those who unlike himself decline to stultify
themselves, by becoming recreant to their
principles. He can only succeed in bring
ing upon himself the contempt of every
right thinking man. The Republican party
and its great principles, are above his reach,
and his impotent efforts to destroy either
will only bring upon him derision.
The Senate will probably hesitate before
it confirms Mr.. CLARK's appointment,or that
of any other man made under similar cir
cumstancea. The disposition shown in that
body to intefere in these gross and outra.
geous cases of political prescription is al
ready working much good. Such men as
Mr.. CLARK will hesitate in their schemes of
demoralizing the Republican Party, when
they find that the reward of their treachery
is doubtful We trust that the senate will
reject them, and satisfy the universal de-
sire of the Republican Party.

sA At Petersburgh, Va, on Monday
night last two churches belonging to the
colored people were set on fire and con-
sumed, and during the confagration anoth-
er was discovered to be ON fire, but in time
to save the building. The event has caus-
ed much excitement in the community
The hder says: : From every quarter and
from all classes, we have heard an unbrok-
en- comment of regret and Indignation that
there could have been found within the
limits of Petersburgh one heart so profit
gate and abandoned as to infict this outrage
on our colored people, and there is a dispo-
sition equally widespread to take every
possible means to hunt down the author or
authors of the crime. If the guilty parties
imagine that they would find the faintest
shadow of approval of their villainy in the
sympathy of this community, they have
been wofully deceived. In no part of Vir-
ginia, or of the South, does better feeling
exist between the whites and blacks.

H9B A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette, writing from Nashville says of the
late riot at Memphis, that "every report
renders more certain the fact that the affair
was savage outrage upon the blacks num-
bers of whom were murdered without pro.
vocation, ard only to crafty the barbarous
passions engendered by slavery and trea.
son. At first it was thought the blacks
were guilty Of commencing the disturbance,
but even that is successfully disputed, and
the whole thing appears to have originated
from the assault of the police upon some dis
charged colored soldiers, who, although
making noise, were neither injuring or
molesting anybody"

sSs- Col. J. w. Burke, of the Tenth Ohio,
has published statement of the sufferings
of the people for food in North Alabama.
He says the destitution extends through all
those counties lying south of the Tennessee
River, and constituting what is called the
mountain region of Alabama. The close of
the war found the people destitute even of
the necessaries of life, and last year, no rain
falling throughout that region, their slen-
der crops were burnt to crisp by the
fierce rays of the sun. Without money,
crops or any resources whatever the peo-
pie have been reduced to a state of suffer
ing which equals in ghastliness the hor-
rid scenes of the Irish famine years.

Wants to FIGHT us Again.

At the johnson and Copperhead
Convention held in Philadelphia last
week, the traitor Rogers Of New Jer-
sey declared that eff with the addition
Of the electoral votes of the States, if
there shall be any such deprived ofrep-
resentation in Congress, the Bemoc ocrat-
ic candidate for the Presidency in 1868
shall have majority; we will place
him in that chair if we shall have to
wade through rivers of Radical blood" :"
These chaps tried wading through
for about four years and found it pref
ty hard wading, but feeling encouraged
by the course Of johnson and the cops
they are assuming their old fashioned
braggadocio airs All we have to say
is, let them wade, the boys who whaled
| these fellows once are able to do il
again if it becomes necessary.

and other distinguished speakers who will
be present on the occasion. The speaking
will commence at ONE O'CLOCK, P. M.
Turn out, fellow citizens. The issue before
our country is one of most vital import
ance. The political party that opposed us
during the long bloody struggle, and that
denounced the war as being crusade
against the dearest rights of the South,
have struck hands with the traitors who
plundered and robbed the Government,and
murdered her loyal and patriotic citizens,
and who demand of us that we restore to
power in the halls of legislation those very
men who by perjury abandoned their seats
in 1861, and infamously rehelfcd against
the constitutional government reared by
our fathers. Shall treason be made odious
and traitors punished? The Union party
says yes. Shall traitors be paid for their
treason by being given positions of honor
that they traitorously abandoned and de-
nOunced? The Union party says no.
Let the long roll be sounded all along
the line! Soldiers, "fall in!''-your old
enemy is upon you!-the fruits of your
toll and your suffering are about to be
traded off for rebel votes. Stand to your
colors, boys!

CopperjOhnsOn Doctrine.

In speaking of the Philadelphia Con-
vention, an exchange very truthfully
says that they have but one issue to
make with the Republican party. They
insist that the seeding States are en-
titled to immediate admission into Con-
gress, and that they have been wrong
fully excluded, not only during the past
eight months, but during the past five
years.. 1t is true that they did not seek
admission prior to the surrender OF
Lees army; but if they had done So
if they had sent up sufficient number
Of members, united with the Northern
Copperheads, to have stopped the sup
plies of Gen. Grants army-they could
not have been rightfully excluded. Il
is fortunate for us that this revelation
was not made to jeff Davis while the
Thirty eighth Congress was in session.
'sThe Southern States have never been
out of the Union,' says the Philadel
phia Platform. They were always en-
titled to representation. Thirty six
stars not one of them erased Why,
eleven of these stars could have blot
ted out the remaining twenty five, if they
had availed themselves of their right
to representation in Congress three
years ago. It is an abominable false
hood to say that these traitors and per
jurers, headed by Gov. Orr G. Alex. H
Stephens, have any right to make laws
for the country which they sought tc
blot from the map of the world. The
only right they have is theright to bt
punished for their unparelled crimes
against liberty and against the Union
Whatever privileges are accorded then
beyond this, are granted out Of th'
abounding mercy Of a conqueror mor'
magnanimous than themselves.

The third day was spent in adopting a
declaration Of principles, and an address
to the people of the United States, and
without allowing a word to be uttered by
the delegates who were not in the ring,
the managers adjourned the Convention
sine die, and made for Washington to con
gratulate the President and look after Of
fees for themselves and friends.
1t is intimated that the INDUCEMENTS
offered to Vallandigham are of such a
character as to relieve his copperhead
friends from the necessity of begging ten
cent contributions from servant girls fol
the support of the martyr, for some time
at least. The arrangement is that Val. is
to pretend to be very indignant at not be-
ing permitted to participate in the pro-
ceedings of the Convention, when with his
friends here in Ohio,in order to deceive the
people, for which he is to be literally pro-
vided for after the election next fall; but
the true character of the whole perform
ance is so apparant that he must be fool
| indeed, who can be deceived by the trick
| It lis simply treason and copperheadisn
in disguise, and we venture the opinion
that in the seven counties composing the
5th Congressional District there are not
| fifty men outside the copperhead party
who support it, and those who do, are do
ing so with the hope of getting crumf
| from the great renegade's table.

As an evidence of the standing of this Com

To schon 1t mag concern:
We hereby certify that the Cincinnati Home
Insurance Company have paid us the full
amount of our loss ($6,OO0.00) as covered by
their policy No 3146, on our Mill property near
Troy Ohio, which was destroyed by fire on
the 4th day of December. 1866.
We esteem ourselves fortunate in having been
insured in this Company. as the party who oc-
cupied the premises, was insured in an Eastern
Company, and on mere technical bubble they
refused to pay their loss. We desire also to say
that we did not directly or indirectly own or
control one dollars worth of stock of said Gin
climate Home Insurance Company, and that
from personal knowledge of many of the Stock
holders and Directors. we consider this Com
pany first-class in every respect and entitled to
the confidence of the public.

The Record of Treason,

To show hoy little difference there
was during thewar between the trai-
tors. ofthe Sou.h and their Copperhead
friends in this Congressional district,
it IS only necessary to present q few
of the resolutions adopted by that par
ty while the struggle for the life of this
government was in progress. The fol-
lowing resolutions were passed by the
Copperheads of Hardin County in Con-
vention assembled, in 1864, when the
boys in blae were about to give trea-
son its death hug. We ask every hon
est man in the district to read this de-
claraton of principles, and then deter
! mine for himself whether the govern
ment would be safe in the hands ofsuch
men, in connection with their traitor
friends OF the South
Resolued, That three years and more
of bloody and desolating war have con-
vinced us that nothing but subjugation
will force return Of the Southern
States to the Union, and that the peo-
pie of those States can never be subju-
gated until they are exterminated.
Reso1red, That Of the two great evils,
suhjugation and consequent extermina-
ton Of the Southern people on one
hand, or recognition of the Southen
Confederacey on the other,we prefer the
latter as the least of the two, and the
alternative which all good men and pa
triots ought to choose.
Resol0ed, That the States have the
right to withdraw their consent to the
Union, and assume their independence
by repeating their ordinance of acces-
sion and passing ordinances of seces-
sion.
Resolved, That State having been
| withdrawn from the Federation with
the consent and by formal act Of the
people, can not be. invaded with the
purpose to compel it's return.
ResoI0ed, That the Federal Govern
ment can notfigltfully interfere with
or modify, Or abolish, the system ofla-
Dor Of any State, either in or out Of the
Union, under any pretense, Or in pur-
suance Of any authority whatsoever.
Resolved, That in the application ot
these ideas, which in our judgement
are constitutionaIly reasonable, evident
and just, to the conflict between the
Union and Confederate States, we but
perform natural and social duty il
declaring to all whom it may concern
that no citizen of Ohio, resident of Har
din county, shall be compelled to join
| the Federal array to cOnsummate the
avowed designs of the enemies Of State
Rights, even should it prove necessary
to give effect to this decision by fore.
Of arms.
Resozved, That the citizens Of this
county who are opposed to the further
prosecution Of the war. should prepalt
for such a contingency.
These are the fellows who were OF
their bellies eating dirt the other da,
at Philadelphia, at the bidding of thei
Southern masters. Soldiers, the abov'
is specimen of what these peculia
friends of yours were doing behint
your backs while their partizans wer
fighting you in front. Of course yo'
love them for all their kindness.

Second Invasion of Pennsylvania.

The Invasion Of Pennsylvania by
rebels last week will, it Is said, increase
the majority for the Union candidate
for Governor at least 10000. The ef-
feet of the assembling Of rebels at the
johnson Convention is equal to that
produced by the first invasion under
Lee in 1863, when Gen. Meade and his
brave boys gave him such warm re-
ception. The idea of rebels meeting
and congratulating each other almos
npon the very graves Of the gallan
boys who fell at Gettysburg, is more
than even the staid and steady Pennsyl
