According Honesty, Etc.

Mr.. Pendleton, in his speech Fri
day, said he was not going to indulge
in personalities, but would meet bis
adversaries on the broad platform OF
argument. He should accord to his
opponents the same honesty, the
same patriotism that he possessed.
He would not impute bad motives,
etc. Two minutes after he said his
opponents were attempting to break
the Constitution-had done so. They
were trying to establish a military
despotism, were tyrannlcal, etc, etc.
Mr.. Pendleton is either inconsist
ent in this or he is foolish. We
won't say the latter for the reason
that his reputation as being "great"
man, in Democratic eyes, lifts him
above that. For our part we could
not accord honesty of purpose. sim
cerity or patriotism to aay man or
set of men guilty of what he charges
does not nor cannot prove--against
the Republican party. 1t would
have been better for Mr.. Pendleton
to have made his charges un-
preceded by such an introduction.

Not All Dead.

Mr.. Pendletou, in his speech last
Friday, perpetrated a lugnbrious
joke. In the endeavor to encourage
his crowd of three hundred hearers
he said: "They tell US that the Dem
ocratic party is dead. Dead! dc
they say? I recently visited New
York; there / found the Democracy
preparing for the conhict-they were
nerved up 10 the fght. / visited the
the West, and there, too, / found the
great party awake; they were nomi-
mating their officers-preparing to
achieve great victory. Does this
show that the Democratic party is
dead? Dead, do they say2 Let
them look at this LARGE AssKMBLAGE
of wide-awake. intelligent Democrats
and say the Democratic party is
DEAD! Dead! dead neverP'
The latter part of the above pero-
alton must have been portion of his
regular speech which could not be
omitted without spelling the effect,
as Mr.. Pendleton is certainly too
couateous to ridicule and sneer at
the party in this county in such a
manner.
However that may be, the "dis-
tinguished speakers" could not fail to
realize the painful fact that a "radi-
car' epidemic now prev ails in this
vicinity which is rapidly depleti ng
the ranks of their party.

Under the guise of loyalty, the
public debt has been run up from
s60, 900, 900 to 81, 200, 100000. Tht
Federal taxes, from a small sum col
lected under a Democratic tariff, ha:
reached the enormous amount o.
1854, 600, reckoned in greenbacks.-
Vallandigham.
True, wholly true. There has beer
no war; Southern Democrats did moi
try to establish separate govern
ment; there has been no large ar.
mics equipped; the Northern Democ
racy did not stand by the South as fal
as it dared to do, and thus prolonged
the war that did not take place; there
has has been an uninterrupted peace
for the last FIVE years. This debt
was created just for fun--if, in
fact, there is any debt at all. Judg-
ing from what Val. says in the above
we presume there is not anything
real-that nothing ever happened.
"Guise of loyalty" that applies well
to soldiers The men who entered
the army were not patriotic at all
they were troubled with loyalty
that loyalty which is a nightmare to
all Democrats. Val. is a comical
man-his fun is intensely huge.

Good Rows.

Pendleton seems to think that
draft evaders were not bad set of
fellows. He puts them in an entirely
new light-makes their skulking pro-
pensities rather Of an honora BILE
character than otherwise - thinks
they were entitled TO credit for going
to Canada. According to his idea,
these innocent fellows all had wives,
sons, orphans, brothers and sisters,
widowed mothers, wifeless fathers,
who needed their support;--conse-
quently they wouldn't be drafted, but
gave Uncle Sam the slip and depos-
tied themselves under the @gis of the
British Lion. How fraternal, how
brotherly were these fellows-what
an amount of support they must have
contributed to their friends. There
must be bright page in the records
Iof goodness set down to their names.
Couldn't help Uncle Sam, because
their friends needed support--skulk-
ed TO Canada to do it.

Mr.. Pendleton said in his speecl
ct Lima, the enlranchisement of the
negroes makes a demand for more
currency, therefore we should issne
grcenbacks. In another part OF the
speech he charged that the Republi.
can party enfranchised the negro
and disirachised the whites. Then
this would neutralize the enfranchis-
ed demand for more currency. Oh
couase The need OF currency is as
much reduced by DISTINGUISHING q
white man, as it is increased by en-
franchising negro. If we must in
hate the currency when we initiate
the franchise, then we must contract
the currency when we contract the
the franchise. One balances the 9th
er, and leaves the volume of cur
rency as 1t was. So the only benefit
We get from Mr.. Pendleton's new
theory of the connection of suffrage
and greenbacks, is the mental enter
tainment; but this is a sufficient
compensation.

Sheridan Removed.

Gen. Sheridan has been removed
by order of the President, from his
command in the Fifth Military Dis
trict, and assigned to the command
of Gen. Hancock in the Missouri
District. Gen. Hancock takes the
Cumberland District, and General
Thomas is assigned to the Fifth Dis.
trict. Gen. Grant, Secretary ol
War ad interim, in his order to Gen.
Thomas tells him to carry out and
execute all orders he may find in
Sheridan's former district until al
tered or annulled.
This is but one more attempt in
the long list Of Johnson, to override
the will of the people and Congress.
Sheridan was removed solely because
he would not bow meekly to the
will OF the President because he
carried out the laws of Congress.
Thus far the +" one man power" seems
to overcome the win of the people.
How long will it last?
As regards Gems. Grant and Thorn
as they are being tried in o fiery fur
mace and We hope and feel that they
will come out unscorched.

PendietOn and Suffrage.

EDS. JEFF Geo. II. Pendleton
says in a law practice of twenty years
he has never known man in Ohio to
lose his rights because he was black;
that the same is true of women. He
concludes, "there is no reason why q
negro should vote, and many reasons
why he should not"
Did ever Pendleton know q mans
rights to suffer because lie was an
alien If not, why should we allow
their enfranchisement2 The answer
is because it would be unjust to de.
mand the support of the country from
men who have no voice in the gov
ernment; and that the interest of the
country requires that all our citizen:
should have the highest possible mo-
tives for love of country, and for self
respect. The nation which believes
it does not need the affection an6
support Of its poorest citizens, may
be at some time taught, as ours was
in the late war, that its salvation
needs those citizens.
Consistency and principle requires
that all men should have a voice ir
their government. Since the war
honor and gratitude especially re.
quire that the negro should vote.
But Pendleton's statement is moi
true, aud he knew it. He has hun
dred times seen the colored man
man abused in all his finer feelings,
he has often seen him kicked and
struck by his brutal Democratic "su.
periors" because he was a ID mig.
ger. Dollars, cents are not a mans
all, and if they were Pendleton's
statement still is false. For in re-
gard to all the negro's rights, "suf-
ferance is the badge of his tribe" in
Ohio. In the late war while the alien
was exempt, 1 have seen the negro
forced into the ranks by draft-so
has Pendleton.
When the negro has a vote he will
have every motive that any citizen
has for self-cultpre and self-respect,
and the man who does not fear his
own inferiority, will not refuse to let
him vote. Yours,
J.B DUNN.

"Susan" in the Courier last week
has communication giving an ac
count of the Union meeting at Blanch.

ring the Vallandigham campaign,
rode under banner bearing the in
scription "Fathers protect us from

Trying to Play Sharp.

Under the above head, the Courier
of last week says that Col. Bope and
D. B. Beardsley, who were announc-
ed to speak at Arcadia, recently, on
arrival there and finding that no
crowd was present tried to displace
two Democratic speakers and have
a joint discussion; and insinuates
that the Democratic crowd was
greater than the Republican, and that
a joint discussion had been refused
previous to that time!
AS to the first assertion we say
that there is a mistake! When our
speakers got to Arcadia they were
Informed that Anderson had been
telling that he was going to chal-
lenge them for a discussion. When
they learned this they hunted up
Anderson and asked him about it,
and proposed to accept. He wanted
to consult his friends in regard to
the matter. After dailying about it
till dark he came back and said that
Mr.. Glessner would not consent to
give up his speech, and that the dis
cussion could not be had. In regard
to the crowd, there was not any diff
ference in size. That discussion re-
ferred to, previous to that meeting,
stands about like this. Anderson
accosted Col. Bope on the street one
day and said he would like to discuss
the questions of the day at McComb.
The Col. told him that Gen. Walker
was announced to speak in that place,
and undoubtedly would discuss with
him. The Col. also told him that he
would hold discu ssion with him or
any other of the Democratic speakers
at any other place. Anderson didn't
60 and see Gen. Walker about dis
cussing in McComb, and he has not
said anything further of holding a
joint discussion with Col. Bope. We
don't mean to say that our friend Of
the Courier meant to lie, or even mis-
lead in his account of the affair allud
ed to--he is too conscientious to do so
and has too good cause to require
IT. He is such a lover of morality,
of truth and righteousness that he
could not do so. Not at all. He
was only mistaken and wanted to
make capital.
Regarding discussion, we can as
sure Democratic speakers that they
can have all they want oft. Our men
are willing and would be glad to
meet them anywhere and at any time.
Trot out your speakers.

to the Constitution. They do not
understand what it is to ''stand by
the Constitution. They proclaim
loudly that the Constitution does not
exist either in theory or practice In
ten States of the Union; and their
most trusted and able leader, in the
fGlluess of his contempt for that in
strument, and for the few Republi-
cans who are willing to obey it, de-
clares in his own choice language
"that some fragments of the old and
broken Constitution stick in their
gizzards and trouble them OF nights" !"
Gentlemen, this is the charge we
have always made. They do not un.
derstand what it is to stand by the
Constitution. And it is for this very
! reason. as We assert, that they have
clothed our land in the mourning OF
civil war, destroyed our form of
government, broken down the guar
antics of liberty and loaded us with
this enormous burden of debt and
| taxation.
And yet / report the advice,

is the safe and speedy and certain
remedy. We may not Immediately
be able to restore its authority, but
let US, at least, never abandon or de-

ment are the ark of our safety amid

that is valuable in the experience Of
the past; all that is susceptible of
improvement IN. the future. 1t may

Had there been no rebellion; could
the record of the Democracy for the
last FIVE years be entirely wiped out,

"Gen" MungenTalks
HUR EXPL Cd e S.

On Friday last, in response to ad

sent broadcast through the county,
came the crowds to hear "Ohio's

':our talented candidate for Attorney

so frequent of late.
But we digress.
There was meeting.
1t was advertised as antl.nigger
