"LET US HAVE PEACE"

On the wharf in front of this city,
there are enough arms, muskets and
cannon to freight asteamer. The own
ers OF these implements of crime would
employ savage negroes in upholding
despotisms in this and Southern States,
more intolerable than that which black
ems Russian fame, or hassever cursed
Greek subjects of Ottoman misrule.
The masters of vessels refuse to become
agents of tyrants. Money is offered in
vain, and the boxes of guns and muni-
tions gathered by the adherents of him
who prates about peace, lie exposed to
rains and frosts, and to the depreda-
tions of thieves. If Grant sought the
country's peace rather than the promo
tion of the selfish ends of petty despOts,
who rule the South, his soldiers would
seize and destroy these munitions Of
war. They should never be distributed
in the South. The prosperity of this
city and peace ofthe whole country de-
mands their destruction. Will not the
public authorities intervene to render
impossible the censummation of plans,
devised by Adventures in the South,
who would precipitate another war, in
finitely more terrible and disastrous
than that which recently left our coun-
try SCARED and blood-stained If the
public authorities stand aloof, the river
is deep and broad enough to conceal
forever this last evidence of the in
fanny and blooa-thirstiness of cowardly
tyrants.

Sncccnsful Coming

The facility with which Radical in
spectors can count Radical majorities
out of ballot boxes in which Democrat
ic majorities are cast, was finely illus
trated in many parts of this State last
week. We have received detailed ac-
counts from many counties OF the State
showing the manner in which magnifi-
cent frauds were perPetrated by the
election officers of the Radical party.
Wood county furnishes a notable in
stance. In Parkersburg, the vote was
counted immediately after the closing of
the polls, and in the presence of wit
nesses, so that there was neither time
nor opportunity for fraud in the count.
The result was a majority for CAMDEN
of 100, and clear gain on the vote of
FOREMAN of 35S, in that single town
ship. In Clay township, where the
same course was pursued as in Parkers-
burg, the Democratic ticket had ma
iority of 90, clear gain of 90. This,
with the gain in Parkersburg, was suff-
cient to give us the county, as even the
Radicals admitted.
Of course, the word went out through
the couRty at once. In Union town
ship, where the counting had commenc-
ed, and where the Democratic ticket
was running ahead, operations were s"s-
pended and the WhOle business adjourned.
Next day when the counting was re-
sumed, not a single Democratic r0te rdS
found IN the Dor, and rousing Radical
majority was announced. 1t is further
stated that but 234 votes were registered
in the township, 237 were counted out,
aud more than 20 Democrats alone were
not out at the election.
In Steele township, after the polls
were closed, the ballot. box, tCith The Key
in it, was given to young man to take
home, and he kept it until noon next
day. OF course, large Radical ma
iority was reported. One voter testi-
fies that he deposited the straight Dem
ocratic ticket with the exception of the
candidate for Judge, whose name he
scratched. No such ticket ras found
when the count was had.
These facts, establishing plainly that
the ballot-boxes were tampered with
after the result in Parker sburg and
Clay townships was made known, show
very clearly the manner in which the
Radicals carried Wood county for their
candidates. Similar operations are re-
ported in many other counties, all indi-
eating the extremities to which the
Radicals have gone in this State, and
. the means to which, if they are saved
3 at all, their escape from destruction is
: attributable.
We say to the Democratic voters of
o the State, allow no such frauds next
), Tuesday. Watch your ballot boxes and
IS see that the votes are counted the night
ofthe election. When returns are kept

''Loyalty.o


Loyalty" has elected to Congress
from the Second Ohio District, man
who, in the early days of the rebellion,
advised the Ohio Legislature not to
vote man or dollar in support of the
war. Loyalty" has made Radical
leader of JOE BRowN, the rebel
Governor of Georgia, who built Ander-
sonville prison and swore that he
"would fill hell so full of Union soldiers
that their legs would stick through the
bars"
Loyalty" has reconstructed LONG
STREET and made the filthy rags of his
treason as white as wool.
Loyalty" has removed the disabili-
ties from twelve hundred rank rebels
of the South and rendered them eligible
to the highest offices, simply because
thew have agreed to vote the Radical
ticket.
Loyalty" has nominated for the po-
sition of Elector at Large in West Nlr-
ginia, r. S. BROWN, of Jackson county,
who advocated secession upon the
stump and voted for it at the polls. Not
single Republican in the State can
vote his party ticket next Tuesday,
without voting for an original rebel.

The nrbt TucrcasiuU.

In the face of official figures, says the
San Francisco Dispatch, the Radicals
DENY that the public debt is increasing.
II is not only growing, but at fright
fnl rate. In December last Secretary
Mccullough reported to Congress that
the public debt, less cash in the Treas
nrv. amounted to S2,49l ,50i, ,45O. He
made a statement on the 9TH instant,
that ON the Ist of August, the total pub
lie debt. less cash in the Treasury, was

has been an increase of s82, ,030,030 in
eight months, or at the rate of over S4S,-
O00 600 per annum. These are facts, be
il remembered, derived from the official
renort of the Secretary of the Treasury.

How Members of Congress Vote
ThcmselNCs Rich.

General Sanford +. Church, in his
speech Mt the recent great New York
mass meeting, exposed the way Con
gressmsn corruptly vote themselves
rich, in the name of "loyalty." He
said:
81 desire to ask Mr.. Atkinson why it
was that two dollars gallon was put
upon high-wines which did not apply
to the quantity on hand 7 desire to
ask him whether he does not know, and
every man does not know, that members
of Congress and Radical politicians
bought largely of high-wines before
that tax was put on, and then pocketed
the two dollars gallon which that tax
increased in it's prices Why, it would
not take a great many barrels of high
wines to make man rich. That tax
would amount, at forty gallons to the
barrel, to eighty dollars barrel, and a
thousand barrels of highwines, which
is not great quantity, would make
man very rich. charge here, without
fear of contradiction, that men high IN
office-members of the Senate and
House of Representatives-cOrruptiy
voted that tax to put the money into
their own pockets. [Applause.] And
yet you are asked to sustain that party
and that policy.
General Church followed up his ex-
posure of Radical robbery, and added :
81 desire to ask Mr.. Atkinson this
question what has become of the hun
dred millions of dollars that have been
collected on whisky, not one dollar OF
which ever reached the Treasury.
T Cheers. They ought to have had one
hundred and eighty millions of dollars
from whisky. They never had thirty
millions, and allowing liberal margin
in price. One hundred millions of dol
lars has been collected from the people
every year upon that simple article, not
one dollar of which ever reached the
Public Treasury. want to as this
Mr.. Atkinson what has become of that
large sunni want to ask him wheth-
er he does not know that this hundred
millions q year has gone to enrich the
rockets of Radical members of Con-
eress and Radical politicians all over
the country, and while you have been
laboring and toihng to support your
selves aud your families these rascals
have been filching your money and
stealing from the Public Treasury.
Great cheering.
And there are honest tax-paylng cit
liens who, under the Influence OF party
excitement, are ready to continue these
thieves in power.

A LOYAL VOTER.
How ihe Rads Carried the State !.

Prior to the election the Indianapolis
Sentinel warned the Democrats of the
State that the Radicals had imported
large numbers of Radical voters from
Illineis and Kentucky, for the purpose
of electing Conrad Baker and defeating
the will of majority of the legal vot-
ers of Isdiana.
Warrick county was one of the coun-
ties named by the Sentinel in which
these illegal voters have been stationed
and we have just received information
from friends in that county, that one of
these rasoals has been brought to JUS
tice. One Samuel Montgomery, who
hailed from Kentucky, but had been
" boarding" in Warrick at Radical ex-
pense since the latter part of August,
voted the Radical ticket on an affidavit
signed by William Stone, which stated
that to the knowledge of the affiant,
the said Montgomery was a legal voter.
Montgomery, not appreclating Stones
stole his horse, harness, bug
gy, boots, hat and several other little
articles, and made off with them. He
was captured on Tuesday, tried before
the Common Pleas Court, and sentenced
to five years imprisonment in the
State prison, having plead guilty.

MARK TWAIN tells the following story
of one of the small republics of South
America:
"There was war in one of these little
republics-the one have been describ-
ing. The General-in-Chief asked the
President for three hundred men; the
President ordered the Minister of War
to furnish them: the forces-.just the
number wanted-were down on the sea
coast somewhere. The Minister of War
requested the Minister of the Navy to
place the navy of the republic at the
disposal of the troops, so that they
might have transportation to the seat
of war. The Minister of the Navy Gan
official who had seen as little of ships
and oceans as even Mr.. Secretary
Welles) sent a courier to where the
schooner was with the necessary order
for the Lord High Admiral. The Lord
High Admiral wrote back: Your Ex-
cellency: 1t is impossible. You must
be aware that this is Cotton schooner.
There is not room for three hundred
men in her The stern old salt in the
Navy Office wrote back: Impossible
Nonsense. MAKE room. Heave the
tons overheard and briug the soldiers
ANY way to get them there, so they got
them there, was all this brave sea-horse
called for"

Who Wrote "Tenr Down the Fiaunt-
ing Lieev

The authorship of the lines addressed
to the American Flag in which the verse
appears,
Tear down the Haunting lie
Halfmast the starry flag
Insult no sunny sky
With Hates polluted rag
Has long been o mooted point. During
the lifetime of Charles G. Halpine, the
Radical leaders so industriously circu'
lated the report that he was the author,
that many believed it, although it is
now remembered that they carefully
abstained from making it in a form
where General Halpine or his friends
could give it an authentic denial. Since
his death, the Tribune, in which paper
the infamous thing first appeared, and
the Erening Post, both charge the au-
thorship on General Halpine. This
charge brought out the facts of the case.
Mr.. Henry Russell, a gentleman of truth,
and we'll known in New York, in let
ter to the New York Sunday Courier,
says:
"George Boweryem wrote Tear Down
the Flannting Lie.' He read the poem
to me repeatedly before it appeared in
the Tribune. He submitted it to Mr..
Greeley after l had said to him more
than once, Every born American will
resent the sentiments as personal in
suit Afterwards, in great triumph, he
brought me the Tribune, containing his
poem, as a perfect vindication of his
opinion over my own.
Still later, George Boweryem relat-
ed to me quite "a dramatic scene as
having occurred in the Tribune editorial
rooms in consequence of the ottice-edi-
tors ordering his poem to be taken out
of the form of the semi-weekly Tribune
after Mr.. Greeley had permitted it to be
placed there.
Still later than the above, one
William GLAND Bourne, in the New
York Soldiers Friend, claims the author
ship as his own-averring that he wrote
and sent it to the New York Tribune, in
which paper ~ --"- G-~t r-bii"hUa y"
the 18th ofJune, 1852, and gives other
specimens of his poetry, much in the
same disunion vein. to prove 1t.
We are not at all concerned whether
the fame of writing this miserable at
tack on the American flag fell on Bourne
or Boweryem. They may both take it
and divide the discredit between them
But we are glad that the discussion has
produced evidence that it was not writ
ten by General Halpine, and that his
memory is rescued from the foul asper-
sion.
The editor of the Tribune, who first
published the article, is entitled to as
much, if not more infamy, than the man
who wrote it.-.StdtcSmdR.

Mr.. WELLS recently declared that
"an extended investigation respecting
the advance in the leading articles OF
consumption and of rents indicates an
increase of nearly ninety per cent. in the
year 1866, as compared with the mean
prices from 1859 to 1862" At the same
time he acknowledges that the "average
increase in the price of labor since
1860 has been about sirty per cent" How
are workingmen benefited by Radical
rulei They grow poorer each year it
continues.
