Yes. The Northern Democrats and
the whole world know him to be guilty
OF refusing to exchange our starving
prisoners at Andersonville, Belle Island,
Salisbury and other prison hells in the

pandering to an unconstitutional body OF
men, a. Washington, calling themselves
lawmakers,
They know him to be drunkard.
They know him to be convicted liar
They know him to be the tool of We

They know him to be tho chief actor
in placing the South under the control o.

Finally, they know him to be totally
unfit for the exalted office of President
of the United States.

report close market for currency and advise us
of large shipments of currency to the country
to be used in the produce movement which can
not help but give us an easy money market very
soon.
The receipts of grain at this point for the last
week have been very large, and, as prices are
high, the farmers are getting large sums OF
money in their hands ior their crops, which must
result in an active trade this fall.
Money is already becoming easier in Ottawa
and all borrowers are accommodated.
Exchange on New York and Chicago remains
the same

to the large shipments of bonds to Europe, and

VoLTAIRE AND FRERoN.-The mention of
Voltaire recalls to memory an anecdote rela-
ted to me by the ingenious Faujas deSt. Fond,
whose travels in England and Scotland"
and other works are well known. Voltaire
and Freron, the journalist, were bitter enc
mics When the Merope of Voltaire "a mere
plagiarism of Masses exquisite tragedy was
announced, Freron, in his journal, prophesied
complete failure. Merope, however met
with success, and the author, to take his re
venge published his play, in which an ass
Freron) was represented, gnawing the leaves
of laurel tree. Our journalist, in the next
number, said che had mistaken the public
taste in regard to Merope, which had not only
succeeded but was just published, with
striking portrait of the author" Voltaire
was so stung with this unexpected retort
that he ran among the booksellers to buy up
oil the copies, and consigned them to the
flames.
