The Railroad Meeting.

We call attention to the Secretary
report of the railroad meeting held il
this city on Wednesday evening last
The Court House was well filed, and
much enthusiasm marked the pro-
ceedings.
Subscriptions were made as follows
r. W. Shawhan, $4,000, John D.
Loomis, $4,000; John NJ. NaylOr,
$4,000; Jas.S Yerk, $1,000; J. 7.
Huss, $1,000 and Warren P. Noble
$1,000.
So far, good. What do the balance
Of cur citizeLs intend to do? Tifin
ought to raise at least 800, 900, and
will do it if each man does his duty.
Ifthe road is built, Tifin has got to
exert herself, and We sincerely hope
the committee appointed to raise the
money will be received literally and
the last dollar to be afforded will be
subscribed. The people along the
line of the road look to see what Tiff
fin is going to do, and will decide
their action according to what we do.
Mark that; and let each man do his
utmost.

The ENQUIRER on Rnseerans.

As Democratic candidate for Gov
ernOr, the Cincinnati Enquirer has a
great adm miration for Gen. Rosecrans
and cannot say enough in his favor
In 1868 that paper did thus feel, as
the following extracts having refer
ence to the Rosecrans letter will
show:
"We are well aware that, since his
entry into the army, the political
opinions of General Rosecrans had
undergone change, and that, in his
private conversations, he ,oas ,coat 10
indulge an expressions such rs are on
Ly heard from the Ups Of Abolition
ists O the most radical stripe, but this
did not diminish our admiration for
the brave and persevering soldier;
nor did it occur to Us that he vas a
man likely, from his camp in the en-
eny's country, to be willing to lend
his aid to the schemes of any party
or body of politicians at home.
Our surprise, therefore, on reading
a letter from General Rosecrans to
Governor Todd, evidently written tor
publication and party effect copy
of which can be found in another
column-was extreme. 1t is not on
ly a perty letter, but one of extreme
bitterness. 1t is not only bitter, but
Vituperative. In perusing it we do
not seem to be reading the produe-
ton of General, who, by wortEily
bearing vast responsibilities, and
fairly achieving great successes, has
acquired dignity and weight of char
acter, and sense Of moral worth; but
the production Of an Insignificant and
disappointed party pohitician.-Es-
quire, Feb, 12h, 1863.
General Rosecrans- gentleman
certainly Of no knoWn political saga
city or experience, 4cho has necer dis
tinguished himself an the counsel of
has country or en- the assemblies of has
fettoac citizens-does not hesitate to
tell the people of Ohio that he who
is IN favor of "peace on any terms, :"
as eft only to be a slave" and that
ne who gives utter anee to a peace
sentiment is "a tre.itOr to his country,
and deserves the seOrn and contempt
OF all honorable men.-Enquirer Feb,
14th, 1863.
General 1tOsecrans said, in pub
nc letter to the Governor of Ohio,
that ne who entertains the senti-
men, in favor of peace upon any
te' rms, is fit only to be slave; and
ne who utters it at this time, is
moreover, a traitor to his country,
and deserves the scorn and contempt
of all honorable men,"
Now we can easily imagine terms
upon which we are distinctly and
decidedly in favor of peace. We
therefore, come acithin the intent and
meaning of General Rosecrans' def
milton Of traitor to has country.
Moreover, ace believe that General
Rosecrans had, IN pert, the Enquirer

Virginia Elections.

The election in Virginia took place
on the 9Th inst, and resulted in the
election of Walker, the Conservative
candidate by a majority of about so.
600.
Whether this is to be considered
a Democratic triumph or not, is hard
to tell-eyents will show. The reg
ular Republican tic cket was headed by
Wells, and favored the test oath and
the continuation of the disfranehise-
ment on account of the participation
in the rebellion, and negro suffrage.
Walkers party opposed the two first,
hnt earnestly advocated negro suf-
rage. All of the staunch Republi-
cans and large portion of the ne
groes voted with the Wells party,
while the rebels, some negroes and
Republicans went with the Walker
party. Appended will be found an
extract from speech made by Walk
er after his election. How much he
means of it, remains to be seen, as
words in these days are cheap.

not as compliment TO myself per-
sonally, but as the presentation of a
great idea. And what is that idea,

Frank Blair Attempts To Speak.

l. AuAA Diosi' AANsN-A- ~ ~
The following are the particulars
of Frank Blair's faseo at Long
Branch: During the banquet of
the Army of the Gulf, on the Sth
inst, when called on he braced him
self against the table, and began his
harangue with closed eyes. He
said that not one word had been
spoken about those who were once,
and are, our brothers. He would
say one word for the people who
had been our enemies. General
Blair continued: 1--WE have heard
the praises of Farragut, Sheridan
and others, tonight. We Will yet
hear of Lee, pronounced in a louder
tone and exulting manner, and of
Stonewall Jackson" The General
articulated the name of the d;stin-
guished rebel with his voice pitched
at its highest key. Kisses; cries
of "Order,'' Traitor" etc, Gen
eral Blair was not Disconnected, but
said, in a naughty manner, "Does
anybody dissent? is there any
dissent? eyes, sir, there is" 4
do, sir, I do. Ny name is Major
Robert A. Haggerty, SIR A
pause followed, which was almost
Immediately broken by cries of,
"Don't hear hin"
General Blair-'I do not ask to
be heard; I do not beg for a hear
ing | never have and never will" !"
After the widest confusion and
excitement had lasted about ten
minutes, Admiral Farragut, who
hae been doing his utmost to restore
harmony, finally secured attention,
and good-naturedly said that as the
meeting had asked Mr.. B. to speak,
they ought to hear him patiently.
Captain Montgomery, ofthe navy,
said: "Mr. Chairman, 1 call Mr..
Blair to order. There is an article
in our bylaws which forbids any
political discussions or harangues at
any of our meetings. l call upon
the chair to enforce that rule"
Admiral Farragut-'Have you a
copy? Let me see it."
A copy was shown him; he read
the clause alluded to by Captain
Montgomery, and then addressed
MIR. Blair: eyes, Mr.. Blair, l call
you to order, because our bylaws
do not permit any political speech
es at any of our meetings. Intenti-
onally or otherwise, you have in
troduced politics.
Blair, with an idiotic chuckle, re-
sumed his seat.
In answer to the remark of a re-
porter, that his remarks startled and
displeased the assemblage, he repli-
ed: eyes, d-n it, I knew l could
fetch them, and did it" He winked
very significantly, as he concluded
this sentence.

Ths TifiH people could not con tair
themselves on learning the result o.
the election at Toledo last Tuesday
in favor of the Toledo, Tifin & Crest
line Railroad. Their enthusiasm was
reported by one hundred guns thai
day, and another hundred on We'd
nesday evening at a jollifcation
meeting. = Gin. Commercial.
One hundred and ninety-four Of
the guns, and the iOlli6catiOn meet
ing, mentioned in the above, is news
here. As the item was made up from
one in the TRIBUNE last week, we
wish to set ourselves right. In the
article We stated, in substance, as it
appeared in the paper, that the news
was received with JOY by the citizens,
and that 100 guns we're fred; that a
jollifcation was held in Toledo, at
which speeches were made, and sa-
lutte of 100 guns fired.
Now, in regard to the number of
guns fred hera, We i0rOte, as we find
upon examining the manuscript, SIX
guns, which was made by the COM
positor 100 in figures.

Den1ocratic Platform.


We give the Democratic Platform,
adopted at the annual "pow-wow" at
Columbus last week.
1t is not worth e review, as all are
well aware of the ease with which the
Democratic party both makes and
breaks promises. The bond question
was pretty we'll played out during the
Presidential campaign New England
has been abused till the story is an
old one aud has lost its force, while
the tariff on sugar, tea, coffee, etc. +,
can hardly be more oppressive to the
west than the east; the bait to the
lsboring man is well considered, but
when it il considered that the party
throwing it out spent years in advo-
eating the cause Of unpaid labor, and
finally fought for and sympathized
with those fighting for that idea, at.
tempting to establish it in the South
so that paid labor could not survive
here, the sugar melts away, and the
"catch-vote" hook is exposed; the
general charge into the national
camp is an old tune again played,
without even the introduction Of new
varistiOus,-the country is going to
pieces, the Constitution is being torn
to flinders, etc., etc.
The platform is a cheap one, re-
built of worthless timber that has rot
ted in the same service during six or
eight years back. There is not a new
idea advanced, but the people are
called on TO consider and vote upon
\ decayed platform, stayed and prop
ped by Gen. Rosecrans, who in "times
of war" denounced its builders as un>
unworthy of their birthright and
TRAITORS to thee ountry."

Tihfn Reioiceth,

The people of Tifin, as we learn
by the Tribune, fired guns on the re-
csption of the news of the Railroad
election last Tuesday. We supposed
our Tifin friends would feel exultant,
but we warn them that this vote does
not build the Crestline road. There
is very much work to do before the
road is out of the woods. There is
stock to be taken, there is money to
be raised, there are stupid people to
overcome, and all sorts of desperate
things to do before Toledo and Crest
line are connected. Tifin being the
most important point on the line be-
tween Toledo and Crestline, has much
of this work to do. Her citizens are
enterprising, liberal and plucky, and
we have faith to believe that they
will do all that is necessary. But
there must be no time lost.-Blade,

There was no enthusiasm express
