The approaching Political Campaign.

To the Editor Of tie Leader:
Can you, or a any Of your readers,ex-
plain why It is the Western Reserve is SO
unusually quiet just now Is it the calm
that usually precedes the storm, or to what
is this extraordinary state of things at
tributable?
When we take into consideration the
extraordinary conduct of cur Executive, I
think it is anything but creditable to US,
as a great party, that we are not organ
izing in order 90 counteract the tyrannical
and reasonable doings Of our accidental
Chief Magistrate and his "bread-and but
ter" brigade.
Can We quietly and tamely stand by
and see the outrages ~perpetrated in New
Orleans, Texas, and other places, without
raising our voices in condemnation Ofsuch
horrible and fiendish doings?
Brother electors, let Us shake off this dis
graceful apathy, and let US assume the at
titude that u overwhelming numbers
Justly entitle US TO.
Is it right that we should suffer a few
Office holders 10 jeopardize the fruits Of
our recent victories, e our INSCRIPTIONS
foes both North and South, at an expense
of life and treasure which is almost fabu-
lous in amount
Can it be possible that cur leaders are
afraid to encounter the hydra-headed mon
ster that IS about to assemblein the Quaker
City on the 18th, composed, as it will be,
of the "bread-and-butt brigade, and the
Hpeace-at-any-price" men of the Coppery
regions of the North and West
II matters not how many compose the
Convention, or what kind of platform they
construct upon the occasion, when it i.
well known we have on our side an over
whelming majority Of both Houses of Con
gress, almost the entire body of our brave
and heroic soldier boys (God bless and
preserve them and the great bulk of the
American people, both native and adopted
With such tremendous odds in our favor,
what can we not accomplish, either moral
" or physically, if need be. Can we suf
fer our beloved Grant to be called disloyal
by one of the Philadelphia delegates PEN
| dleton) ~unrebuked2 Can We suffer our
equally beloved Phil. Sheridan to resign
| his position in the service of his country
without the most searching inquiry into
the brutal and ~murderous- outrage that led
to his resignation?
l might go on ad iniinitum in this en-
umeratiOn. but in mercy TO the patience
of your readers, l forbear.
Our leaders need not fear they will be
too early in the campaign. Illinois, that
loyal and noble State, has already set q
good example to her sister States, which !
trust they viii lose no time in following,
for be assured we are upon the verge of a
precipice, from which, without great ex-
e%rtion, we can never escape.
Our orators need not fear they will have
nothing to talk about as the doings Of cur
chief Executive, the terrible massacre al
New Orleans, and other congenial sub
jccts would furnish material for a six
months campaign. BUCKEYE.

Mr.. T. n. Stillwell is a Member c
Congress from the Eleventh District o
Indiana. The Convention of the Distric
met last week. A resolution was intro
duced endorsing his course, and especially
because he voted against unqualified
suffrage in the District of Columbia.
This resolution was laid on the table, and
a motion to take it up wa voted down.
Thereupon the friends of Mr.. Stillwell
announced that he would not be a candi-
date for reelection. The universal suf-
frage party are evidently strong in North

The Democratic Theory Of MObs.
There have recently been two Demo.
cratic mobs-one in Memphis, the cthel
in New Orleans. The rebel organ in thi:
city has commented upon both of them,
holding the following propositions as EN-.
bodying its theory of mobs:
l. That the Union men who were mob
bed were guilty of all the blame.
,, That the Democrats who did The
mobbing were wholly innocent.
,. That the Union men who were mob.
bed, desired TO be mobbed, killed, wound.
ed and beaten.
1. That the Democrats who mobbed
them merely accommodated them in their
desire to be shot, stabbed, pounded and
murdered, with c~ommendable neighborlv
kindness.
.. That it is terribly wrong for Union
men to provoke rebel Democrats disposed
to riot, but entirely right for rebel Demo
Gratis TO indulge inSriot when provoked.
g. That being "nigger" is a sufficient
proyoeation to justifya riot by rebel Dem
ocrats in Memphis.
Z. That holding a white Union Conyen
ton, and a negro procession knocking q
white man down, is a sufficient provoca-
ton to Justify a riot by rebel Democrats in
New Orleans.
s. That holding a Union convention,
and allowing a negro procession, is 'ineit-
ing murder in the South" which is IA ter
ribie stigma" on the convention and on
t""s5-eos VINO Were3 murdered; but the
Democrats who did the murder, being
thus melted, are wholly innocent and en-
tirely justified.
This is the Democratic theory of mobs,
as expounded by the Democratic organ.
Of course, all who believe in this tbeorv
are pure Democrats, and violent johnson
men. 1t is the same theory bv which the
Democratic organ used to Justify the re-
bellion. The Democrats of the South. it
claimed, were "incited' to rebel by North
ern Republicans e~lecting Abraham Lin
coin President of the United States: and.
being thus Nincited," swhy blame men
for being traitors 2' it said. "We can not
see why" So it says now, in effect, Why
blame Southern Democrats for being
rioters? 1t annot see why.-Detroii

fiae Success Of the Crosby Onera
House Art Association.

tFrom tine Chicago Times, July 81
The past week has been a fruitful on,
for this widely-spread enterprise. OQl
exchanges from every quarter are filled
with notices Of its success. Its advertise
ments-which are on a scale SURPRISING
in general extent anything which has beer
attempted by ever American enterprise
before-occupy pages of the New York
press. y correspondent writing of its
success in New York SAYS: THE office
reminds me of 8 railroad ticket Office a
few minutes before the departure of the
train
The feeling Of personal interest in Mr..
Crosby seems to pervade the whole coun-
try. Every little town or village has its
one or more clubs, and we understand
that the rapid sale of certificates through
out the country in q great measure TO be
attributed to the cordial support of the
national banks, the presidents and cashiers
of which are its most numerous and eff
cient agents.
Another large club ha; been organized
here upon the plan of that of the express
and telegraph men. It is to be composed
exclusively of railroad and steamboat
men. They have secured 1000 certia-
Gates.
The p~ork-packers have also a club of
500 nearly filed. The Young Mems As
ISOLATION are forming a large club. The
Chamber of Commerce club is full. Sew
eral board of trade clubs holding a large
number of certificates have been filed,
and others are in progress. An oil club is
under way; likewise a dry.goods club;
and we hear that a large insurance club
is nearly filed. A ladies club, a mer-
chants club ola thousand, and an art gal
iery club have been commenced, and we
hear Of many others. Activity in this
line seems to increase with each week
These movements are rapidly taking up
certificates all over the country, and
fastening the happy consummation of
which has in it more interest.
novelty and spirit than anything which
engaged public attention within u
recollection.

To THE ELECTORS OF THIS CONGRESSIONAL DIsTRIcr.
BROTHER ELECTORS.
Never before l apprehend,
Before or since the above was penned,
We're words more pertinent than those.
If we'd avert from heavy blows
And great discourAgements, why then,
We must arouse ourselves like men
II not, our cause Is surely lost,
And on the foaming pillows tost;
Look out, for breakers are ahead,
TyleTs and IraoH, are not all dead;
Persons who occupy high seats,
Attempt to do some wondrous feats
With Breai-and-butter srigaIes they,
Attempt to fill US with dismay;
When certain men do congregate,
For purposes they dare not state,
lis then u duty We can't shirk,
To meet forthwith AMI go to work;
To eounteract what bad men do,
In breeding mischief they're not slow =
The Philadelphia ,chat is a."
Co7perheais are sure to visit
And traitors too, they will be there,
Then for the worst let US prepare.
I care not how high a man may sit,
If he is for the place unit;
II accident hath placed him there,
He may be unfit to fill the chair;
Without strict watching all the time,
For be might psrpetrate a crime
That might destroy our cherished rights,
So bravely Won n cur hard tights.
"The pen is mightier than the sword -
That is 3 truth ttat's on record;
That being SO, then I invoke
Some able pen with master-stroke,
To summon forth from Souh and NORTH
Our master minds, TO issue forth
Addresses of q startling kind,
That wouldn't let any lag behind.
We are hemmod in by treacherOus foes,
WHO would resort to hostile blows
To carry through their traitor schemes,
And other base, ambitions dreams.
But Uaioa men must now unite,
And grid their loins up for the fight;
''UniOn is strength - '~'knowledge is power,
And "now's the day, and nox's the hour,
When we must boldly face our foe,
And traitor Plans must overthrow.
"Thlice is he armed who hath his quarrel Just, -
And as our cause is just, succeed il must.
The traitor ship is near at hand,
That will by Copperheads be manned,
With a mail mixture here and there,
Of Johnson men, who all declare

And with secedsrs must consort.

And Fernando Wood, oh what a pair,
And Raymond, too, from New York city.
And Pendletoa, from Cincinnati;
Uupardoned rebels, quite a group,

I'd quite forgot GeorSe Francis Train,

And Marble and Belmont, those shont-per silent

Let's well prepare to win the fight,
And then we're sure to come oat right.

the bloody work so well that the mob it
