MARYLAND is in rebel control which
shows a disposition to put her in con
dition to repeat her attempt of 1861 to
block the way Of Northern troops to
the Capital. She has made an extraor-
dinary effort to organize her militia,
and to put them under rebel officers
and she has found the national Execu-
tive responsive in the matter Of arms.
But she is only indulging her imagina-
ton in things which she will never at
tempt. Is there any blast that can
breathe on the bouss of the Confeder-
ate soldiers, and set them up again in
their ranks, and precipitate them upon
the Capital, even if Maryland should
block the Northern way, and though
JOHNSON should call till be was black in
the facet And what would all Mary
land be before the Northern army that
would rally at the notice that johnson
had struck blow in resistance to Con
gress3 They may organize their mill
tia and tickle their minds with the
thoughts of bloody war; but they are
desires which will never come to the
point Of performance. And so it will
be with Johuson. There is no limit to
the wickedness of his proposes, but in
his performance he will be restrained
by lively view of the consequences.

THE UNION TICKET.

EDITORS JoURNAL.-Election is al
most at hand and two things pertaining
to the Union party are sufficient of
themselves to induce every voter to be
at the polls on election day. These
are good men and sound principles.
Generals HAYES and LEE and some
others of the State ticket have been
''tried by fire" and need no mention
here. H. EVERETT has not literally been
under rebel fire, yet for 20 long years
has he battled for the right through evil
and good report never wavering or
swerving a hairs breadth from the
mark true, faithful, industrious, honest,
competent and worthy, will make just
such a Senator as Sandusky County
will feel proud of and what is better
will be elected. Our county ticket is
an excellent one and needs not to be
mentioned here only that it should by
all means be elected. As to our princi-
pies, "Radicalism is righteousness" and
let us glory in it. There is no way
that Ohio could disgrace herself so
much as to fail to carry that amend
ment to the constitution. Shame on
any man that fails to vote for it A
statute authorizing the robbing of hen
roosts would be in itself much more
consistent in Democratic government
than to hold a man for taxes and fol
drafting into its armies and refusing to
let him vote. l envy not the head not
the heart of that man who looking over
one half million of graves, on millions
and billions of treasure, will ally him
self with the curse that cost such q
lsacfi6ce! When war came with an
army hurled against the old Union
which never could have been yanquish
ed had it been in the right wher
traitors to our cause and foes to human
Iity stood thick through all the land
and two of the most powerful nations
on the earth were watching with eagel
eyes for but pretext to join the re
bellion, it was not strange that mer
should doubt the success of the UnioT
army and feel anxious to save something
by negotiation or capitulation. Bu
now since right has triumphed, Demo
cratic government indicated, thu
enemies of law, order and humanity
overthrow, our glorious old Constitu
ton maintained, the nation abundant il
resources, contented and happy in it
prosperity, that any should be so misleC
or so wicked as to go over to the enemy
ally themselves with traitors and seel
to undo and destroy all that has beer
done at cost of so much blood ant
treasure, is past finding out-absolutely
astonishing.
Bullets have done part; under or by
permission of Providence, Ballots shal
do the rest. w. L. G.

Rebel Captain MarshaIs q
Democratic Procession.
IFrom the Toledo Blad,


Some two weeks ago the Democracy
in the southern part Of the State held
meeting at st. Clsirsville. Delegs-
tions were present from Wheeling,
Bridgeport, and other places. The del
egstion from Wheeling was headed By
a man who had been captain in the
rebel army, and that from Bridgeport
by a man who had bsen a captain in
the army of the Uuion. These two
professions meeting on their way, at g
point where the roads eonvergsd, the
Union captain recognized the other az
an old acquaintance, when the fol-
lowing colloquy las reported in the
GAINESVILLE Courier, ensued:
Union Captsin-"Good morning,
Mr.. What have you herep
Rebel Captain-"The Wheeling del
egstion to the St ClairsVills Democrat
ic meeting"
Union Csptsin--"What are you do
ing with itl'
Rebel Captsin--"I am marshal of it,
SIR"
Union Captain-''You are the fell
low to whom the fortune of war once
compelled me to surrender NV sword,
and who, with gibeI and jeers, sent
me and my poor fellows to Libby, now
l find you in such high esteem to the
Democratic party that they choose you
to marshal their procession. You and
l cannot travel the same road" Turn
ing to his procession, he said: "Boys
here is the rebel captain,@, who
took my sword when | was so unfor-
tunate as TO be taken prisoner. He is
marshaling the Democratic delegation
from Wheeling. l can go with no par
ty that thus thrusts rebels and traitors
forward to positions of honor
Saying this, at the same time taking
off his MarshaPs scarf, he turned his
horse homewards The effect was cleo
trieaL Dozens of brave men leaped
from the procession and followed him
back. At the Logan meeting on the fol-
lowing Saturday, the gallant Captain
marshaled tremendous procession Of
true Union men to hear the words Of
one of the most gallant Of Generals.
The Courier pertinently adds: ''Let
soldiers note this thing. Let them be
assured that if the Democracy only
dared, they would show their love for
the rebels, even as the Democracy of
Wheeling did for rebel officer, by
selecting him for its marshal. Boysl
do not such insults to your bravery, to
your sufferings make you burn and
boill Remember them-tell them to
your comrades-and place your foot up
on the oiferers of them, through your
ballots on the 9Th day of October next. I"

To YnnnR Men.

We commend the following words Of
Gov. Morton to the young men of our
county. You are just starting in life,
with the world all before you where
and how to choose. Beware how you
connect your fortunes with decayed
and dishonored party indelibly stained
with treason, and upon whose tomb
stone the historian will write: '.False
to liberty, false to It's country and false
to the age in which it lived" The
Democratic party has committed 8
crime for which history has no'pardon,
and the memories of men no forgetful-
ness; whose colors grow darker from
age to age, and for which the execra-
tions of mankind become more bitter
from generation to generation"

The man who has belonged to, and
acted with the Republican party du-
ring the past six years, and who re-
mains true to it until its appointed work
is done, though he may possess neither
lands nor gold, will leave TO his child
ren legacy of honor and glory. Our
children, our ehildren's children, and
the countless generations of posterity,
will recur with pride to the fact that
their ancestors were Republicans and
stood true to the principles of Liberty,
Justice and Truth, during the great
Struggle Of the 18th century. Our
fame will endure with civilization and
the generous sacrifices, the disinterest-
ed patriotism, the undying love of lib
erty, and the inyincible courage, dis
played by the Republican party, will be
remembered and admired as lcug as
Generosity, Patriotism, Liberty and
Courage have an abiding place on the
footstool of God.-O. S. Journal

The Additional Bounty.

Democrats are telling soldiers that
the reason they do not receive their
additional bounty is, that Congress
passed the law for buneombe and failed
to appropriate the money. The fact
is, Congress appropriated the money,
which is ROW in the United States
Treasury, ana the delay in the payment
of the bounty must be accounted for
| By Johnson's Office holders. Congress
passed the Law and provided the money
lto pay every dollar Of the bounty.

Vallandigham, in speech at De-
fance, Ohio, spoke of Grant and Lee as
follows:
81 say to you, American people, that
when all the ravages Of the war will be
forgotten, the sum of American military
glory will be made up by all men of
this country. Cheers. Does any man
mean to tell me that Lee was not as
good General as Grantl When Gen.
Grant was seeking shelter in the shade
of certain house, Gen. Lee went to the
field-aye, in front of the enemy-and
drew his sword. That was what l said
some time ago, and that is what l say
now. Some kind of men will not run
away from the battle and others will.
A yoice-"Those who ran away we're
as bad as Englishmen."
Here is direct charge of cowardice
against the greatest living General, and
the highest compliment paid to one Of
the most prominent traitors-a man
who was educated by the Government
took solemn oath to support it; lived
upon it for years, and then betrayed it.
And this Vallandigham, who ISLANDERS
Grant, and praises traitors, is the leader
of the Democratic party in Ohio.

PROsPEcrs OF \ RAID on CANADA letter
from Montreal in the y. Y. Herald, dated
April % says:
No Fenian raid on Canada can be 8 success.
and no practical support need be looked for
within in any movement from without There
are very few Of the green coats along the From
teri should say about one hundred and eighty
IN all. These are more than neutralized by the
blue coats. A lsrge body Of men, sufficient to
overcome the resistance offered by the regulars,
could not be assembled aud thrown into Canada
without collision with the American authorities,
or collusion with them. This last wOull induce
war with England. So the probability of
Fenian raid in erlenso can be best discussed by
your Washington correspondent.
That raid is intended on the province some
where in the vicinity OF st. Adams | am certain.
The late Is not easily got at, because. for .
wonder, the friends Of the cause in that vicinity
were reticent but think my guess Of the 24th
won't be far wrong. Prophecy is an unsafe
business just now, more especially in Fenisn
quarters Such a raid would be rather more
with view to personal plumber and general
destruction than to reiressing the wrongs Of
ireland
reason for selecting 81. Adams as q point
whereat to commence operations is the fact that
in 1864 II suffered severely from the raid Of
several chivalric Southerners, who, with fine
military dlscernment, captured the banks and
livery stables. IL the Fenians should be arrest
ed near ST. Alhans, and be tried there, think
il would be difficult 10 obtain . conviction.
They might possibly be fined for tresspass, but
the general procedure would strongly remind
one Of the TRIALS in Montreal

PROy iDESIIAL HINDRANCEs.-ihc follow
ing extract IRON a New York journal L., IN
tie main, a Just observation on the beneficial
results which have issued from the delays
both in the work OF conquerIng the rebellion
and rcconstructiDg the South
Il is curious 70 note how the accidents OF
the war and the blunders Of opposing poll
ticians have assisted IN ihe wOrE OF this great
political revolution. \ De oisiye defeat OF
the rebels at the FIRST Bull Run might have
saved Southern slavery in the collapse Of the
JEFF. Davis confederacy. Had Mcclellan
succeeded at Richmond there would most
likely have been No emancipation rroclama-
ton from President Lincoln. Had Andrew
johnson, when called TO take his place, con-
vcrod Congress for the legislative work of
Southern reconstruction instead Of undertake
ing it himself, the States concerned would
doubtless have been restored upon n hall way
compromise on negro suffrage Had those
States followed the example Of Tennessee,
they would now be in Congress ON the same
terms. Had the Democrats in the House
voted for this last bill as it came from the
Senate, they would have secured to the lead
ing rebels the privilege now denied them, Of
assisting IN rebuilding their respective States.
As our failures in the war Ill defence OF sla-
very brought about the extiTl alton OF slave
ry, So all our failures in hall way plans Of
restoration baye worked out full and deei-
siye settlement on the basis Of civil and pol
ihcal equality"
