THREATENING ANOTHER WAR

Gov, Oglesby spoke in Cambridge a few
days ago. A correspondent writes US that
the Governor said:
"If Frank Blair is elected, and darcs to inter.
fere with the reconstruction acts of congress the
loyal millions cW rise, and isheH haDEvAsTAriSG
WAN SHALL. ARIsE, IT SHALL NEVER sTOP, BY TIE
ETERNAL Don, mGl IRE ENTERWfSArR THEN"
These were his very words; and, coming
from high official rs they did, show what
he would like to do, in case Of the election
Of the democratic ticket. OF course, the
Governor meant just what he said. No one
will doubt that, who saw his clenched and
uplifted hand, and the expression Of his
awful countenance. But can he raise an.
other war? ] reckon not.
Then he asked us. "What harm has any
negro ever done to any one in Henry coun-
ty ?' This question he would have omit.
ted, had he known that negro murderer
was but u few yards from the spot he then
occupied, and confined for the murder Of a
man in Henry county, but about ten days
ago
Then be said she had plunged his hands

white and clean. And now, democrats,
said he "show your hands draw them W

Altogether the meeting was a very quiet
affair, very little applause, no earnestness
no enthusiasm. One leading radical told
me he was surprised Mt the total lack Of en-
thusasm, and asked me the reason? 1t is

the wrong crew, the wrong platform, anC
the wrong candidates.

REPORTED FOR THE DAILY ARGUS.


CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-John Commisky dem.
ocratic alderman in the 9Th ward, in lard
to the Tribune, while denying certain state
ments, deplores the disturbance at the meet
ing on Thursday evening, and declares his
efforts we're to preserve good order. lie was
surely induced to attend the meeting, ne
says, BY the terms of the call, which invited
tho attendance of all lrishmen.
The Times claims that the meeting was
not called as a republican meeting, but in
reference to Irish liberty in Ireland; that
al effort was made TO turn it into a partisan
gathering, and the democrats being iusulted
from the stand and the body Of the hall,
turned and cleaned the thing out. RepubIi'
can papers, on the other hand, maintain that
the call was distinctive, and not to be mis-.
understood, aud had particular reference to
the organization Of company Of Tanners.
Among the Irish republicans of that portion
of the city it is also insisted that the meet
ing was mobbed by a preconcerted move
ment and in pursuance of threats uttered.
1t is expected the case will be fully sifted to-
day, upon the trial Of prisoners yesterday
held to bail. ....
