Grand Army OF the Radicals.


The Columbus correspondent of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, under date OF
Feb. %, says.
"The Grand Army of the Republic,
though their officers, are engaged in ar

week 80 stand OF arms were sent from
this city by express to Eaton, Preble
county, to the orgization in that place,
by some one under the nom de plume oi
Eli Hull, from this city. No such man
as Eli Hull is known here, yet the ex-
press charges were ordered to be collect
ed on delivery 10 his name.
@This organization, it is charged, is
furnished these arms by State authority
and the Abolition members Of the Leg
islature will not allow the Governor te
be questioned on the subject. The
Grand Commander says the organization
is one to aid widows and soldiers. Why
are muskets needed for this purpose? In
Columbus, ball cartridges were furnished
the organization. Whence the necessity
of this, to feed the widows and orphansi
"The truth is, these men are engaged
in preparing for new civil war, to sus-
tain Congress in its efforts to subyert
the Government by first impeaching, and
then, during his trial, deposing the Pres

Should they get their courage to the
striking place, and commit the overt act
for one, l am for making treason odious

preparing to subyert the Government. y

unfortunate riot this afternoon, which the
efficiency of the police, aided by the ef-

squelched, everything passed off pleas

There were forty -four bands Of music
in the procession, which was reviewed by
Mayor Hoffman, Members of Council, Mr..
Mcguire Of the British Parliament, and
an immense crowd of spectators.

webster ON NIilitaryRepublics


The following is an extract from Web
ster's oration on the completion of the
Bunker Hill Monument, June II, 1843:
ga military republic, government
founded on mock electionsand supported
only by the sword, is movement indeed,
but retrogade and disastrous movement
from the regular and old-fashioned mo-
narchial system. If men would enjoy
the blessings of republican government,
they must govern themselves by reason,
by mutual counsel aud consultation, by a
sense of feeling and general interest, and
by the acquiescence of the minority in
the will Of the majority properly express
ed, and above all, the military must be
kept, according to the language of our
old bill of rights, in strict subordination
to the civil authority.
wherever this lesson is not both
learned and practiced, there can be no
political freedom. Absurd, preposterous
it is scoff and satire upon free forms
of constitutional liberty, for forms of
government to be prescribed by military
leaders, and the right of suffrage to be
exercised at the point of the sword" =

thousand persons are on the verge Of

business in the North does not exhibit
the old time prosperity. This state Of
things is the outgrowth of the refusal
Of the Republican politicians in 1861
to abate anything of their principles, A
perverted government, poverty, beggary
and starvation for our people is what
they are getting in return for disregard
ing the warning voice of Washington,
