They saw tbat Andrew Johnson's Demo

They saw that Andrew Johnson's Demo
cratic predictions stood in the way.
He would not consent that they should
trample on the Constitution. They then
asked the South to enfranehise the ne
gro-to disable their leaders from hold
ing Office or from voting. To this the
people of the South could not yield.
The Radicals knew this. They knew
the Southern people would not degrade
themselves thus.
He cited Maryland and Kentucky,
where the rebel element predomlnated,
to show that all was peace there, ana
that the people were DESTROYS of aiding
to restore the Government. He then
showed how the people were bankrupt
ing themselves by keeping in power
this party that tramples on the Consti-
tuition. The career of thisparty must
be checked or our liberty is gone for
ever. The cry of the radicals that the
Democrats will cause a revolution II
they get into power is nothing but a
scare-crow to frighten the timid.
If the Democrats would preserve
their manhood they must work aud pre-
scINC lulS OONcIulueut do uduucu w" "a
to US by our fathers. He then illustra-
ted how the States lately in rebellion
were brought back into ihe Union by
the act of Congress, in plain violation
of the Constitution.
He then explained at considerable
length that if tine Democrats did not
succeed in this contest, before the end
of four years our country will not only
be wrecked and ruined, but verify ami
bilated. If the white people of the
South are to be kept under the heel OF
the idle, ignorant and pampered ne
groes, war of races was inevitable, and
that would draw the whole North into
the whirlpool of civil strife, ana ami
hilation would be the result.
Mr.. P. then closed his lengthy and no.
BILE address with an excellent appeal to
the Democrats to do their duty. His
speech was listened to with breathless
attention, and often spontaneous bursts
of applause would make the Hall ring
The enthusiasm is becoming epidemic
The wave is rolling on and will soon
overwhelm the few stragglers who may
presume to withstand the tide.

SOUTH Notwithstanding n visit to
South Wheeling, on yesterday, we dis
covered that the good people of that
town are annoyed with drunken people
AS we'll as their neigbbors. One Of that
ilk was endeavoring e, walk the streets
and make a noise, but his locomotien
was rather impeded by the refusal OF
his legs to come to time. In his wild
vagaries he seemed to fancy that every
thing was at war with himself and,
consequently, he was at war with every
thing. He took q great dislike to the
street car and tried very hard to pelt ii
with stones, but he was stopped at this
He began an assault on some one who
would not brook his insult and knocked
the travelling demijohn down. He Their
began his TRADE of abuse on some Ger
man women who pitched into him will
their umbrellas and soon put the intru
der hors du combat. When We LETT III
was sauHtering aroundiand seemed to b.
in a mood to engage in almost any ao
| venture that presented itself.

RIVER NEwS.-The river took dow u
ward tendency, yesterday, and fell to
twenty.six inches by the marks. A few
days more like that will cause the river
to close her enchanting, ancient SObri-
gHet of "Ld Belle Ririere," and don that
of nice little brook. In fact some of the
boats that now ply in the trade have to
land below the bar, and 1t is very
doubtful whether the New State makes
any more trips till we have rise in the
river. The stately Elk is now laid up
for repairs, and will not leave for Steu-
benville till Sunday. The little "Nao-
mi" from Parkersburg came up on
Thursday and left yesterday for that
port. A little craft. somewhat larger
than skiff, came up from Marietta
loaded with melons.
Boats leaving to-day: Arrowline for
Parkersburg at IL A. NJ, and the Forest
CITY for Sunfish ut p. NJ.
The Elk will leave for Steubenville
at 2 7. NJ.

JoHNATHAN's RAvINE.-On yesterday
we took stroll up to Johnathan's Ra'

name of the place. to look at the i'm

county. The old culvert that had been
constructed at that ravine some twenty
five years ago to allow the water that
came rushing down to pass, was, during
the last heavy rain, so badly injured as
tn cause the walls to tumble down Oh
each side of the street.
The city limits passing about the cen
ire of this extensive culvert, it was ar
ranged hat the city should pay ose
half the expense of repairs and the
county the other half; aud the super
vision of the work on behalf of the cit!
was put in the hands of Street Com

But to the object of the visit WI

of such matters, should think it was be

by a very small score. The game prom
ises to be q very exciting one.
