The number of persons voting, yesterday,
as shown by the poll book, was 900, but
the highest aggregate vote was se4, ON sup
ervisor. On all the other candidates the az
gregate vote was little less. 1t is rare that
the aggregate vote ever foots up equal to the
number of names on the poll book, for the
reason that some people scratch one name
and some another,-but the number OF bal
lots in the box, of course, agrees with the
number of names on the poll book.
Last year the highest vote cast was 752,

a defeat they held secret meeting, last Sat |

one which they supposed would be much
stronger ticket. At the same time they pass

Especial DisPatphao the Chronice.l -.
CINCINNATI, September 22.=ThE
Republicans,of this county yesterday
held great mass meetings in the coun-
ty and city, which were addressed
by Senator'S Sherman, Wade, end
Thayer, of Nebraska. Their utter
ances in regard to the President are
omniohs of warm times wheh Con-
gress re-assembles' Sherhan said !:
" Unless the President can give better
reasoRs for suspending Stanton than
1 I.believe can.be given, ! will as Sen
ator, vote.to re4instate him as Secre-
tary of War. This removal whs SIM
ply for political reasons--to get out of
the way man who insisted on d
fair execution ofa law passed BY Con-
gress and sanctioned by the people,
and l have no doubt he will be festor-
ed to his office, to remain there Until
the end of the term for which Andrew
johnson was elected Vice President
of the United States. 1t was simply
because ST Eeridan insisted on a faith
full enforcement of the law that the
President removed this gallant soldier
from his command, and sent him off
to fight the Indians But, thank God,
the President of the United States
will learn that tho will Of the people
is not to be trifed with. 1t was the
will of the people that made him Vice
President, and when he disregards
that will the same power will tear
him from his high place as it will all
those who are unfaithful to the trusts
repOsed in them"
Wade was equally outspoken, though
he restrained himself somewhat on
the ground that he might have to be
Judge In the case, and if he should
be wonld hear testimony impartially,
and give even the devil his due.
fhayer spoke of the strange, incon-
sistent, traitorous course of Johnson,
and Of the direct and active co.opera-
ton of tie Southern traitors and Nor
thetn rebel Democrats In all his re-
cent disloyal steps. Mr.. Johnson has
issued a proclamation, sDjoining spe-
cial devotion to the Constitution. He
once said In Tennessee "When you
hear man prating about the
Constitution, spot him he's traitor"
Tried by his own rule he is spotted
all over with treason. Judas was new
Of more devoted to his master than
when about to bettay him. Louis Ma
poleon was never mere devoted to the
Hebublio than on the day proceeding
the fatal night Of Che 2nd Of Dccemf
ber, when The light Of French liberty
expired and the empire began. johnson

tuition than when about to violate its
provisions.

ana the District OF Columbia, having
left Washington only night before
last. Whilo there l took special pains
TO inform myselfin regard to the pres
eht purposes Of johnson, and obtaineC
what I.lm about to state from reliable
authority. l declare upon my re.
sposibility as a Senator Of tbs United
States, that to-day Andrew johnson
meditates and designs iorciblo resist
ance to the authority of Congress.
makethis statement deliberately, hav-
ing derived it from anqubstiohBd and
unquestionable authority; ! cannot
point out the occasion on which he
may attempt military force. It may
be to prevent tho assembling of Con-
gress, or wien assembled, ifth6 House
of Representatives pAsSeS attiGles OF
impeachment, or it rHaT BIZ for the
purpose of forcing SottheFh Senators
and Representatives 10 seats in Con-
gress, The question indt Be asked
How can he do such d thing ? You
recolIect that six lndRtiis ago Govern.
or Swami, Of Maryland, was elected
United States 9Hhator, and that few
weeks aftbtwhrd he declined, giving
grave reasons of State as the cause.
1t was TINT Lieutenant Governor Cox,
ofthat State, could not be trusted for
Johnson's purposes. There is today
standing g'army in Maryland, an Or
ganized militia force such as no other
State in tho Union has, Differed
mainly fy returned rebels. When the
time comes which he looks for, under
some pretence Johnson may declare
Maryland and the District of Oolum-
bia under martial law, and call upon
Governor Swami to bring forth his
militia. Thcre i nothing will deter
Johnson from his purpose except
when the issue comes that his courage
may fail, and make this statement
that the American people may Ehd@
the danger that threatens their peace
and safety. IfPennsylvania and New
York give Democratic majorities in
the coming elections it will embolden
him to carry out his purpose, and |
hope you, the people Of Ohio, will be
warned in time, and so cast your
votes as to rebuke and prevent the
mad desigus of this bad man who is
now acting President of the United
States, But, gentlemen, let me say
TO you that, whenever Johnson at
tempts force, and orders any soldiers
he may have under his command to
resist the authority Of Congress, his
doom is sealed. The fate from which
he has preserved the traitor Jefferson
Davis will then be meted out to him.
Aye, when that time comes FIVE hun
dred thousand men from Pennsylvania,
New York and Ohio will leap to arms
and tramp the soil OF Maryland to
reach the beleaguered capital, and
reSche it from the hands of rebels and
tiaitois. In conclusion, lot me say to
you who have borne the flag Before
the enemy, doyour duty in the coming
elections; vote for those mCn who, by
their record, have shown themselves
to BE your friends and friends of the
Goverhhtent. Rally as ono man to
the standard Of justice and liberty,
and that flag will yet float over uhi1
ted and happy land" '''

At morn she twinod rosy wreath,
And round her brow she bound IT.;
But ere the sun was at its height,
A witHered mass she found it.
She sighed that aught so beautiful
In one short hour should wither,
Then meekly looking upward, said,
Unfading flowers I'll gather"
The Rose of Sharon then she sought
And wears it in her BOSOM
The pure aroma It eAhales
Dwelts In no other blossom.
And daily closer to her heart
She clasps the balmy treasure;
UnfGding through eternal years,

Seek, like the gentle maiden,
The Rose whose beauty fadeth Eot,
With precious perfume laden
Twill cheer you mid the gloom of time
When mortal woes are pressing;

And make your life blessingf
