- Col. Samuel Mckee of Ken,
tuckey, in a speech at Springfield
in this State, last week, put this ques
ton to the Union men ofOhio:
"Are you prepared to follow the
counsel of such men as Valland e.
ham? [Cries of"never."] He who,
during the war, was tried and con-
victed as a traitor, always tho't
Abraham Lincoln made great mis-

is the very head and front of the
Democratic party in Ohio, who is
making the chief canvass all over
your own State, and who insultcd
you more than he did my people, by
crossing over into my own State
recently, and ther holding up as ex-
amples of patriotism such men as
Robert E. Lee, Joe johnson, and
Stonewall Jackson, holding them
up as patriots equal to the great
father of our country, Washington
himself. And who, in the same
breath, said, who "loyal wretch
who could throttle his mouth from
uttering the praises Of such men as
these" These are his words
"What does he mean by loyal
wrctches ?"
You know very well. 1t is such
men as Grant, Sheridan, Sherman,
Pope and Sickles, the great leaders
of our armies, and every soldier
who followed them and crushed out
treason and secession; that is what
he means by "loyal wretches," and
to that phrase, 'tloyal wretches," the
hills of Kentucky are made to echo
with rebel shouts, such as have not
been heard since the days when
Kirby Smith and John Morgan as
sailed your loyal forces. And to-
day, here in Ohio, they ask you to
indorse that sentiment. Voices,
"We don't do it'll Well, my
countrymen, am happy to know
you won't do it. 1 should be sad
in my own heart if feared any such
result as that, because 1 tell you
to-day that if this canvass is not
successful in Ohio, and the Demo
Gratis continue to achieve triumphs,
in my own State, such men as l, and

ments with me will have to seek a
home somewhere else. That is
what is before you in this question.

success, but for our safety and
prosperity" '

ever man bears the image of bis

upon an equality with other men:
and we propose to bring this doc.
trine to a realization. VaIlandigham
says his principal objection to it is.
that it involves social equality. Let
us look at this for a moment
There are great many things by
which, for want of examination. we
are deceived. Why is it that the
simple privilege Of casting a ballot
makes the negro our equal? An

al! Are social relations dependent
upon the ballot? Because a stran.

There is no sense or argument in

a speech at Alliance last week,
where Gen. Logan also spoke to an
audience of 10000 enthusiastic lis.
teners, said:
"The reason why the Democrats
always opposed allowing the SOL
diers to vote, and now oppose CIV
ing the ballot to the negroes, is that
they know they would not vote the
Democratic ticket. Cries of that's
what's the matter.h] Addressing
himself to the young men of the
Democratic party, he said that if
any Of them were groaning in spir-
it at the probable prospect, in the
event of 'nigger equality, of being
compelledt to be united in the bonds
of matrfnOny to American ladies' Of
African descent, if they would join
the Republican party, he would en-
sure them against any such calam.

Compliment to Hon. Mr.. Colfaz

Mr.. Colfax addressed a very large
audience at Columbus, on Monday
evening last. The Journal of thai
city pays the following meritcd
compliment to him:
Mr.. Colfax speaks from the ele-
waited plane of Christian civilization.
He does not ridicule prejudice He
raises his audience above it. Every
word of his speech last night be
spoke a noble minded, chivalrous
gentleman. The influence of such
sentiment is incalculable for good.
That one of the largest audiences
ever assembled at a night meeting
in this city, listened with earnest,
breathless attention, to the very end
of the address is no less honorable
to the audience than complimentary
to the speaker For the audience
which could listen for hours ap-
to such noble, elevated
sentiment, fixes its own status far
above the level of partizanship and
prejudice.
Mr.. Colfax has fixed himself in the
hearts of IS people as worthy its
high regard.

was claimed for Arabella.
But Fitzfoodle refused to give it

IMPEACHMENT. - The Mahoning
Courier has an able review of the
subject of ofimpeachment. The Cour.
ier says;
Thenotion has been generally en-.
tertained that impeachment is but q
punishment for crime. This notion
is entirely erroneous. The punish.
mcnt only extends to removal from
and disqualification to hold office.
For the crime the party is still lia-
BILE to an indictment and prosecution
and punishment under the laws Of
the land and in the usual form.
The right of impcachmentis only
a remedy reserved to the govern
ment to preserve purity and integ-
rity as we'll as ability in its officers.
This right is directly granted and
the duty imposed by the constitution
itself.

A New Test of Love.

The English papers tell of SEN
timental individual named Stanhope,
who, having become possessed with
the notion that his wife was not so
fond of him as she should be, re-
solved to put her to a love test
This he did by hanging himself in
efigy and concealing himself where
he could watch the effect of the
spectacle. Here is tho sequel.
After awhile, the daughter came
up after skipping rope, and caught
a glimpse Of the suspended figure.
She ran down the stairs screaming.
"Oh, mother, mother! papa has
hung himself" "Now for it,"
thought Felix, in ambuscade, 1--WE

Mrs. Stanhope repeat, as she walk

THE war was a Republican
var" 1T was none Of our funer-
al," So declaimed the Hon. G. H.
Pugh from the Kennard House bal.
conv last night, and the Democratic
audience shouted their acquiescence
N the significant declaration. We
proudly accept what Mr. Pugh so
frankly admits. The war for the
preservation of the country tcas a
Republican war. The treason-sym-
pathizing, draft-resisting, tax-de.
nouncing, Union hating Democracy
had no part norlot in it. Franklin,
Atlanta, Nashville, Cedar Creek,
Five Forks-these are Republican
victories. The subjugation of the
rebellious South and the restoration
Of the Federal Union-these were
the results of the labor and devo-
ton of the Union party, in which
no Democrat could claim a share.
Mr.. Pugh is right. The war and
the triumph belong to Republicans,
and no peace Democrat can claim
for himself or his party any share
of its glory.-C Clevelar i Leader.
