There is prospect of war recommen-
cling again in Europe between Austria
and Prussia, on account Of the former
refusing to surrender to Italy some Ven

the debt of Venice Prussia has notified
Austria that she will,,not.allow Italy to..be
defrauded, and she has stopped the march

the formation Of the new German Confed-

Equal Representation.

The Radicals are constantly harping
upon the increased basis of representa-
ton in the South, and urging that as a
reason for keeping ten States in a condi-
ton of vassalage. It q sufficient an
swer to this to state that if five negroes
now count Eve instead of three cs they
did when slaves, it is the work of the
Radicals themselves.
Buff three white men in the South
have as much weight in the House as FIVE
in theNorth, has not one Rhode Island
Yankee as much weight in the Senate as
IL citizens of New York;
And yet these narrow-souled Yankees
have the impudence to complain of uno-
quail representation!

Aa.An old blackguard named Brown
low, from Tennessee, and a delegate to
the 'loyal convention" at Philadelphia,
made speech in that city on Friday, in
which he developed the programme of
the war against the South:
"Let there be,,three divisions. Let the
first go armed according to these regula-
tions, with small arms and artillery, and
let them do the killing. Let the second
go with pine kpots and burning torches,
and let them do the burning. Let the
third and last go with the surveyors
compass and chain, and we will sell out
the land to pay the expense of the war
and settle the country with men who will
honor this glorious flag Cheers.
Brownlow is representative loyalist.
BE is the most enyenomed old scoundrel
unhung on this continent; and it is to be
hoped that when the sthree divisions"
start they will commence with him.

Arithnletical Conundrunn.

Mr.. Plants in one of his lofty flights
of 4th of July grandiloquence gets off
the following:
"And that banner Of beauty and glory
that floats over your seat, with its galaxy
increased to a hundred stars &C., sc.
In 1856! there were 81 Statess.in the
Union, now, according to the showing Of
Mr.. Plants and his Radical associates,
there are but 26.
We would like to ask Mr.. Plants o CO.
nundrum
If five years of Radical rule tincreases
the galaxy" from "a to 26, how many
more years of the same rule will it re-
quire to "increase the galaxy" to one
hundred?

General Grants Father Endorses
the President

The father of General Grant, upon be-
ing introduced to President johnson this
morning, assured him that he sustained
his policy of restoration, and was with
him in his efforts to reunite the country
under the Constitution and the laws
What do the Radicals think of this2---
They have heretofore claimed the entire
Grant family. Neither the father nor
the son can affiliate with those who would
still keep the country divided, and were
it possible, inaugurate another bloody
civil Cincinnati Union Sept. i12.

Resozued, That the Democracy of Ohio
will adhere in the present and in the fu-
ture as in the past, with unfaltering fdel-
ity and frmness to the organization of the
Democratic Party, and to its ancient and
we'll settled principles as enunciated by
Thomas Jefferson, the great Apostle of
American Democracy, and as acknewl-
edged and accepted by the party from the
foundation of the Government; and espe-
cially of equal taxation, and of repre-
sentation of all States subject to taxation.
ReSozued, That the one great question
of the day is the IMMEDIATE AND UNeoN-
DITIoNAL RESTORATION OF ALL THE
STATES TO THE EXERCISE OF THEIR
RIGHTS WITHIN THE FEDERAL UNION UN-
DER THE Constitution; and that we will
cordially and actively support ANDREW
JOHNSON, as President of the United
States, in all necessary and proper means
to carry out his policy as directed to that
end; and especially in securing immedi-
ate representation in the Senate and House
OF Representatives, to the eleven States
from which it is now unconstitutionally
and arbitrarily withheld, unless on the
degrading condition of inferiority in the
Union, and of negro political and civil
equality enforced by the Federal Govern
ment.
Resolved, That for the purposes above
set forth, we will cordially cooperate in
public meetings, conventions and at the
polls, with all men, without reference tc
past party positions, who honestly and
by their acts and votes as well as by theil
professions, support the President in his
policy Of restoration as now declared.

T Private advices say Secretary Seward S
recent attack of cholera was very severe;
that his constitution is seriously shatter-
ed, and grave fears are entertained for
his recovery.
The cholera is said to be prevailing
along the Lower Mississippi, with the
report Of thirty at one plantation in Wal
nut Bend.
A schoo mistress in Lenox, Mass, was
arrested and bound over for trial, last
week, for an aggravated assault upon a
child three and half years of age, be-
cause he did not spell "fox.'

Of negroes are being organized in that

Good Idea.

We heard a Republican suggest that
inasmuoh as for reasons not necessary to
be made public Mr. Plants had failed to
make o speech here, that meeting be
called, and that the "germs of possibility
speech which he made in the empty
House of Representatives be read pub
licly.
Well agree TO print the bills gratis
for such & meeting.

why Plants Didn't Speak.

We have been told, and verify believe,
that the true reason why Mr.. Plants did
not speak here, was because he was ad-
vised by his squad of supporters that the
less kno0n of has notions here the better;
and that his speech soouzd be mach more
likely to lose votes than to n,abo them for
him.
IF we didn't hear Radicals say this,we
heard them say something very much
like it.

Nobody Has 81 Right to Mob and
Insult Presidents but the Radi-
Gals.

IF such foul calumnies had been utter
ed against President Lincoln as the Bad
icals are new using toward President
johnson and his supporters, every man
who dared to utter them would have been
dragged to Bastile, without the benefit
Of judge or jury.
IF such brutal mobs as those which
iusulted tho President at Cleveland, and
hooted and yelled and finally committed
murder at indianapolis, had made such
demonstrations against Lincoln, both
these cities would have been placed under
martial Law, and the perpetrators would
have been hanged or sent to dungeons.
And yet the Radicals have the brazen
impudence to call President johnson a
tyrant, aud Lincoln model of mercy.
