The Union Meeting at Martins
burg.


We attended the Union Meeting
at Martinsburg, in this county, on
Wednesday afternoon of last week
The Meeting was calledto order by
choosing Amos Todhunter to the
chair. Col. Yeoman then address
ed the people in a forcible manner
giving his views upon the questions
at issue in this campaign between
the Union men and their political
opponents, including the question
of the Amendment to our State
Constitution. The Col. is not in
favor of violating our contract with
our government bond-holders, nor
in favor of changing the terms OF
payment agreed upon between the
Government and the men who paid
their money for them, without their
consent, but is in favor Of comply
ing with every contract made by the
Government. He is in favor Of ex-
tending the right Of suffrage to the
men of all classes, colors and con-
ditions, upon whom the Govern
mcnt imposes obligations to pay
taxes, to work the highways, and
to bear arms in defense Of the Gov
ernment.
When Col. Yeoman had conclud-
ed his speech, which was we'll re-
ceived by the audience, Gen. Kim
ball was introduced to the audience.
He spoke upon the various political
topics of the day, and held up to
view a true portrait of the Butternut
party in its various attitudes during
aud since the war--a picture that
the Butternuts dislike to have aired
more than any other specimen OF
artistic skill. Hold up their true
record before them amid large au-
dience, and you will see them begin
to deny it and turn their backs upon
it just as they did the Union army
whenever they found that their
friends, the rebels were about to be
meritoriously thrashed. The Gen
eral urged the Union voters to stand
by the amendmentto our State con-
stitution, and adopt the broad, just
and true principles in a Republican
form of government, Of extending
the right of suffrage to all classes
who are required to pay their mon
ey and defend their Government in
support of those noble Republican
principles advocated and defended
by our fathers in the days Of the
Revolution.
The Meeting was well attended,
and the able and patriotic speeches
of the Colonel and his General in
the army, were well received, and
will result in good to the principles
for which these gallant officers
fought during the war for the per-
petuation of the Union, and Repub-
lican principles.
Hon. Mills Gardner was present,
and was called out at the close OF
the meeting and made a brief and
eloquent speech.

Our neighbor of the Register
has a great deal to say about high
taxes, and urges the election Of
Democrats to office under the pre-
tense that if the so-called Demo
cratic party get into power in this
country, the people will have next
to no taxes at all to pay. We will
let our neighbors Of the Chillicothe
Gazette tell how the Democrats re.
duced the taxes in Ross county
The Gazette of last week says;
A year ago the Copperhead cleo
tioneers urged the people to vote
the Democratic ticket so as to have
low taxes. Well, the Democratic
ticket was elected and the taxes for
Ross county will be one hundred
thousand dollars higher this year
than they were last year, while the
State and National taxes (under
control of Union officers are re-
duced. Ask them for an explana-
rion and all the reply you can get
out of them is "Nigger, niger Mig
Ger, nigger. The niger will emf.
crate to your State; the nigger will
90 into your white schools. The
Eigger will marry your daughters.
! Nigger, nigger, Niger" If their
senseless cry of niger prevents the
people from finding out what be-
comes of their hard earned taxes,
and frighten them away from voting
for men who would reduce our lev
les to a low figure, then we could
only say, we deserve to pay hlgn
taxes.
We apprehend that if the butter
nut Democracy could get the con-
troll of this county, they would re-
duce the taxes of the people oi
Fsyette county, just as the same
party have reduced the taxes in OLD
Ross. That is o reduction with {
vengeance. Don't trust them, fol
they never yet fulfilled a promise
they made-promises made only
to deceive the people-promise'
made with a hope to catch you
votes.

Gen. Kimball of Indiana, made
a number of most eloquent and pa
triotic speeches at several places in
this and adjoining counties, and the
soldier boys in this section who
were in his command during the
war, focked to hear their old Gen
eral, advocate upon the stump, the
glorious principles for which he SO
gloriously fought upon the feld.--
His efforts are highly appreciated
by the loyal men ofthis section, and
his efforts to convince the sclGiiiers
that is their duty to sustain with
their ballots the principles they
successfully commended for with
their bayonets, will long and great
fully be remembered by the true
Union men Of Ohio.

The Colored Men Know How to
Vote.

A meeting ofcolored men was held
at Yorktown, Virginia, on the 10Th
of April, to commemorate the death
of Abraham Lincoln. Among the
speeches made on that occasion was
one by D Norton, a mulatto, for
merly a slave. The following eX-
tracts will serve as u sample of the
whole:
FELLow-C CITIZENS Il have been
invited to make a speech in honor
of Abraham Lincoln, but my pred
ecessor has said so much and said
it so well, that the wind is taken out
of my sails. Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States l
have not words to express my feel
ings, when think Of him. | know
he was a President after Gods own
heart; u man who carried out the
designs Of his Creator. He never
faltered moment; never shrunk,
when the Democratic party, worked
up by their newspapers, were howl
ing like pack of hounds, calling
him "rail-splitter," "hog-driver,"
everything but a gentleman. When
he thought the time was ripe, and
the people ready, he issued the
Emancipation Proclamation, re-
gardless of fear, and knowing only
the duty of God. I consider him
my father, your father, of every
one with black skin. He was the
instrument in the hands of God to
work out the salvation of this down
trodden people, / am proud to
say, feUotc-ctttzenS; fellow-citizens
of the United States fellow citizens
with black skins How often have
we been ashamed to say that we
were -menP Oh, how often on the
4th of July, has my blood boiled,
listening to the cannon laundering
over the hills, and men with white
skins shouting "liberty" and ''inde-
pendeuce," while in yonder loath-
some cell sat slave with fettered
limbs, weeping and mourning be-
cause the stars and stripes denied to
him liberty and justice, and crushed
low beneath the sod of the earth
every instinct of manhood? Abra-
ham Lincoln, the great emancipator
| thank thee, Almighty God, that
thou didst raise up one man after
thy own heart, who, by the Eman-
cipation Proclamation, wrote free
dom to every slave. l believe it is
impossible for man to do what he
did unless inspired by God,

manhood, when l ask you if your
long marches, fetters on your hands

panions; the wife who was your

YOUR dark life, oh, how you wept in

with all the fondness of father to
grow up pure and respectable, sold
to such men as John A. JonesY "a
noted slave-dealer. Doyoiremem-

If you want to see the noton-
GUS exiled traitor Vallandigham
elected to the United States Senate
from Ohio, vote for the so-called
Democratic ticket. He is their can
didatc for the Senate, and if they
can succeed in electipg a majority OF
their party to our State Legislature,
they will elect this rebel to the U.
U. Senate In some of his speeches
in this compaign he has declared
himself candidate. We have a
plenty of good and true loyal
Union men who would do honor to
the Nation in the Senate then vote
for Union candidates, men who
have not suspicion of being the
friends of traitors to our Govern
ment.
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1867-09-19

We would not say a single
word against any one of the candi-
dates on the Democratic ticket in
this county for offices they are our
neighbors, and aside from political
issues we have no reason to believe
they are not our friends, but, we
can see no reason for any true re-
publican going out side Of his own
political party to vote for better
candidates for any of the offices to
be filed, or for those who will bet
ter represent Republican sentiments
than the candidates on the Repub-
Iican Union ticket, They are all
good, competent men, not inferior
in qualification to the candidates
on the so called Democratic ticket,
and not less deserving Of profitable
and honorable official positions than
their very respectable opponents on
the Democratic ticket. This being
emphatically true, as every unpreju-
diced voter must admit, there sure
! ly is no necessity for any Union vo-
ter to leave his party to vote for
men who are not in sympathy with
him and his party on the great is
sues of the day. And it isnot nee
cssary for any voter, Republican OF
Democrat, who is in favor Of or op-
posed to the constitutional amend
ment, to vote for the candidates OF
the opposite party in order to vote
for or against manhood suffrage
Some republicans may vote against
the amendment, but it will be adopt
cd in the State.

The Reason Why.

The simple editor of the Reg
lister in this place gives himself a
vast amount Of unnecessary uneasi-
ness because we have two sons, nei-
ther of whom went into the army
to fight r;bels in front, a place
where gentlemen Of questionable
loyalty would like to have seen them
go, so that they and their likes, not
exempting the editor Of the Regis
ter from this class, could stab them
in the back, while they were fight
ing rebels IN front.
Now, Sir, we have two sons, one
of them too young, and by no means
physically able for the service
The other was his own man, and we
had no more control over him than
we had over any other man. we
never persuaded him or said single
word to discourage him from going
into the army, nor did we ever urge
him or any other man to enlist, nor
do we believe we would have been
doing our duty to him and our
country by urging him into ser
vice that his physical inability entire
ly untitled him for, especially while
such robust men as the editor Of the
Register were permitted to stag Al
home, and by their inveterate and
continual denunciations of the army
and every measure of the Govern
ment for carrying on the war to
save the Union, were giving aid and
comfort to the rebels, thus stabbing
the boys of the Union army in the
back while they were defending their
country in front of the rebels Be-
sides this, it was necessary that a
good many true Union boys should
stay at home and defend the fami-
lilies and homes of the loyal men
who had gone to the front, from
violation and destruction by rebel
sympathizers in the North.
Now if the editor of the Regis
ter, who is a robust, stout man, and
Of proper age for military service,
was a true Union man, and evinces
so much (hypocriticaI) concern of
mind because our two boys did not
90 into the army, and wanted the
rebels whipped and the rebellion
put down by the military power OF
the Government, why in the name
of pure patriotism did not this man
Gould, shoulder his gun ard march
to the front, instead of struggling
in the rear and keeping up contin-
ual fire at the gallant loyal boys in
frontp That is q question that will
readily suggest itself to the minG OF
/, every rejecting man. Why did you
not 60, Mr.. Gould, and help put
down the rebelliong Answer that
question before you hypoeritically
and meanly attempt to arraign any
one else for not going into the or
my and taking a position where reb
els were assailing our gallant boys
in blue both In front and rear.

The IrOn-Clad Fleet at CivItS Vecchia
Reports From GhribRIdps Camp
Conditions Between the Premier OF
Italy and the Klng-RepOrted Passage
OF the Frontier by Italian Troops.
PARIS, Oct. 2S-Night.-The French fleet from
Toulon, including the iron -clads, for the Roman
waters arrived at C1vita Vecchla this morning,
and its commander is engaged in debarking the
men.
La Presse of this afternoon says that General
Garibaldi's army is being reinforced by thou
sands of men who have deserted from the royal
army of Italy. Garibaldi carried Monte Ro-
tondo after severe fight, and marched direct
for Rome, and 1t is believed here that he is now
at the very gates of the city.
La Pdtrte says that the Premier and members
of the new Italian Cabinet accepted office under
two positive official conditions with Victor
Enamel. The conditions are-First that the
King shall publicly disayow all connivance
with or support of the Garibaldian bands who
have crossed, and are crossing the frontier into
the Papal domain; and secondly that by mill.
tary movement on the frontier the Italian
army will cooperate with the French expedi.
tionary force.
The Paris Epoque publishes news, dated in
Florence, announcing that the Italian troops of
the Kings army crossed the frontier and en-.
tered the Papal territory to-day.

PARIS, Oct. pa. M.-The news of General
Garlbaldis victory over the forces of the Pope
at Monte Rotondo in the States of the Church,
has been confirmed by kilograms from Florence
and other sources.
The General displayed great personal daring
during the engagement. His soldiers sue
ceeded in capturing all the Pontihcal force, made
up OF Zouaves and gendarmes from Rome; but
the Italian Government authorities at once
released them.
The state of the wind has delayed the depar-
ture from Toulon of the second French feet
which had just arrived In that port.
La Liberte, of this city, says that the Emperor
Napoleon refused to permit the Italian army tC
cooperate with the French expeditionary force
in the operations which may be undertaken il

Of King Victor Emanuel In this direction, Napo
leon said that Italian cooperation was cnneces

MEDICINE LODGE CREEK, Kansas, Oct. 26, via
Fort Harker, Oct. 3O.-Considerable alarm IS felt
in camp this morning in consequence of the
movements of the Cheyennes, numbering six
hundred warriors. The Arapahoes informed the
Commission that they suspected the Cheyennes
of bad faith and warned them to beware of an
attack. Some of the agents and interpreters
so believe they mean mischief.
We have about three hundred fighting men to
welcome them.
The Cheyennes sent word that they were
coming in on a charge and with yell, and de.
sired all the other Indians to get away from our
camp. Some of the Commissioners are nervous.
They (the Cheyennes) are expected tomorrow.
A treaty was concluded with the Apaches,
numbering eighty.fve lodges, yesterday. They
are confederated with the Kiow was and Conan
ches, and receive an annuity of five thousand
dollars
