General Terry, at St. Paul, to take measures to prevent gold-seekers . from passing l over the Sioux country to the Black Hills. The order is strict, and will be enforced. The only way tor the expeditions now fitting out to avoid the consequences of proceeding on these expeditions ib to take a route I outside the line of the Sioux countryor wait the action of Congress. President Grant has taken decided grounds for the suppression of the "White-league" murderers of the South. Attorney General Williams conveys explicit instructions lo the j United States ' Marshalls regarding I their duties. ' Troops have been sta. tioncd conveniently to as to preserve peace and good order, and punish the I murderers. The Republican adminis tration is determined to see that the I laws are faithfully executed, and that "equal and exact jtlstice to all men shall be the rule. That -War Democrat,' Judge IIol- " Z man. Evidently, from the many exprcs sions we have heard from those pres ent at the Hoi man meeting at Phillips Hall, Friday night last, disappoint ment, as to his being a "strong man,' intellectually, was the result of his speech. It had been given out that he was a very "giant" in the political 1 field a. rter feet Hercules. This mav 4 be so, in the eyes of extremely partial .4 friends, but we must confess that, in his case, "distance lent enchantment" that a nearer view dissipated. He was a "great man," for a Dear-born one, and fifty miles away; but in Phillips Hall, the greatness dwindled into insignificance like' one of Shakspeare's characters, "greatness ' had been thrust upon him," and it fitted like a shirt oa a bean-polc! We do not wish to detract anything from Mr. Ilolman, that justly belongs to him, as a very clever gentleman, courteous and affable full of solicitude for the welfare of all his new and old constituents, especially for deep regard for tteir physical health; for ia these respect) he fully understands and practices all the Arts of the finished demagogueno one understands the mere politician's trade better than does Judge Ilolman he served a regular apprenticeship to it, and don't know anything else. But when he claims to be, par excellence, the special champion of the soldiers a "War Democrat," we -beg leave to point to his record that he made side-by-side with that of the celebrated and notorious Vallandigham, when these two Democratic brokers voted oo every occasion to cripple the action of Congress, and did everything in their power to defeat vital measures then brought forward to crush out the Democratic slaveholder's rebellion. At the same time he was voting with his iarty that "the war was a failure'' he was looking ahead for his own political preferment, and paving his way with the soldiers, by introducing resolatioos increasing their pay giving thera bounties providing for education of soldiers' orphans, and securing! claims fr bounties. Like the fellow who prayed "good Lord good Devil" he didn't know whose hands he'd fall into. If the war proved a failure, he could point the rebels to his endeavors to make it so; and if a success, he'd fall back on the soldiers, and point them to his efforts in their behalf, and ask them to give him their Totes to send him to Congress! We believe Mr. Ilolman has been in Congress, about sixteen or seventeen years, and he makes the declara' lion that corruption and extravagance has been on the increase from session to session ever since he has been there! If this is so, why should ho j be sent back to Cengress, where he j acknowledges he has had so little influence for so many years. He says he's for "economy and retrenchment'' J has tried to introduce them and j foiled, for a period of sixteen yenrs.

Isn't it high time hU constituency had a change of representatives, one who cannot only say he's FOR economy and retrenchment, but mho has the ability to do the necessary w&fk to have these ' important reforms adopted? W. S. Ilolman has been tried and found wanting the people of this district will now try B. F. Claypool.

Democratic Estimate of tbc emu billty of tbc People. We had supposed our ancient friend Bentley. of the Brookville Democrat, had arrived at that time of life when he would lay aside the Democratic idea of the general gullability of the people that they were prepared to swallow any and everything that might be asserted, without question, after has just perpetrated through his col umns, we fear his old, bad habit of perverting facts and elongating the truth, will never leave him whilst he edits a Democratic paper! In a recent number of his paper he asserts that, on the 4th day of March, 1863, Mr. Claypool, being a member of the Senate, moved to recommit a Democratic bill introduced into ihat body, "to prevent negroes and mulattoes from coming into the State," by inserting in the proper place the following amendment: "And it shall be lawful to kill any negro or mulatto, when found in this State, after the first day of July, A. 1). 18(3, who bhall not be licensed un der the provisions of this act." Instead of proposing this amend ment as an enemy of the eolored men and a coadjutor of the editor of the Democrat and his partisan friends, as our friend Bentley asserts and tries to create the impression, Mr. C. proposed the amendment to show forth the HEAL disposition of the Democratic party of that period towards the ne groes and mnlattoes that they, as a party, were not only opposed to their having any political rights whatever, but that one -of their cardinal princi ples was that "a colored man had no rights that a white man was bonnd to respect," and hence were also in favor of killing them and making it lawful to do so; in short doiog the same thing the SAME Democratic party are doing to day in Kentucky, Loviciana, and other Southean States. As a party, the Democracy exhibit at every period of our history the same undy ing hostility towards the colored man, and, if he was not now a voter, and the editor of the Democrat hadn't thought the colored men could be gulled into the support of Mr.' Holman (who. in Congress, voted against the ,13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution, conferring every political right this class of our fellowcitizens now have, and placing the ballot in their hands, in order to pro tect themselves in the enjoyment of those rights,) he never would have committed to paper so little and mean a charge against the Republican candidate for Congr ss. The Discussion. The fairest and best way to draw conclusions of the honesty and ca pacity of t wo men to represent, yon in ' Congress, is to hear them both talk at you, from the same Bos trum in air nd fee discussion. 1MH1S opportunity IS ' Ottered on j Wednesday, Sept 16th, when Hon, : B. F. ; Claypool and Hon. ; 4W. S. t Ilolman, will address the people. , We trust every , Republican and t every Democrat who possibly can, will make it convenient to tiear these candidates, and give their - utterances a careful hearing. I Good Suggestion. ' We find the : following, we think, must excellent suggestion in the Madi ison Courier; and we re-publish it . now, for the purpoie, as all parties in : Old Wayne have their candidates in the field, that they will promptly meet and act as suggested: ' ' ' "Let the candidates nominated recently in this county, by the Derno- ' cvatie and Republican parties, meet together and sign a joint pledge not to use intoxicating liquors in any m: n ner as a means of winning votes in the coming canvass. $so more i demoralizing practice exists in this country than the custom of buying the votes ot the riff-raff with whisky. The men or tho party who will stoop to Buch a , policy are not the men nor the party wauted at this time to control the affairs of the people." ' i Papers throughout the State should call attention to the fact that the State Temperance Convention resolved to observe Thursday, the 8th of October, as a day of fasting, prayer and humiliation, for the purpose of rousing and energizing Christian sentiment in favor of the temperance cause. Also, to the further fact that preachers of all denominations throughout the State are requested to preach temperance sermons on Sunday, October 11. By a simple process, steel may be made so hard that it will pierce any substance but a diamond. Jewelers, lapidaries and miners, who wish to give their drills this degree of hardness have but to subject them to the following treatment: The tool is first brought to a white heat, and then pressed into a stick of sealing-wax, left there for a second, and removed .nd inserted into the the wax in another place. The operation should be ' epcated until the instrument is is too t ool to enter the wax. !A special telegram from New Organs says that a dispatch sent to that ity on Thursday, to a prominent ;.)emocrat, accidentally fell into the ands of a gentleman of the - same ,ame but r.ot of the same politics. It jead as follows: 1 . "Shreveport, La., September 3. -Five more Radicals killed, and firfag still going on along the whole ine."

CIVIL RIGHTS BILL,

, Speech of Hon. DnntelD. Pratt. Irom the excellent "speech of Senator Pbatt, we make the following extract on the subject of the Civil Rights Bill, the support of which by him and Senator Morton in the Senate, Called down the , platform , censure of the Democracy of this State. It will be perused by our readers with a relish for its plain statement of facts and the eloquent and forcible manner in which they are stated. f The Democratic party, in their platform, say that the Civil Rights Bill passed by the Senate of the United .States, and now pending in the House of RepreFentatives,-presents an issue full of.moment to the American people, and calls on them to decide whether or not they will be cursed with the ab1 A - Ti ll 1 . 1 I ernment, to take control of the schools, colleges, churches, steamboats, theatres and graveyards for the purpose of establishing negro equality and enforcing it under enormous penalties. We arraign Senators Morton and Pratt before the people if they foiist this atrocious measure, and we shall ask for judgement against them at the hands of their constituents whom they have misrepresented. Kowl deny in, the outset that I have mbrenrenented theceoDle of the ; State of Indiana. I deny that 1 j should be condemned unheard. I i propose to give you a synopsis of the ! bill itself. I propose . to show you ' that this bill is utterly misrepresented j. in this resolution which I have read. 1 They are not proverbial for telling'the truth, but they have missed it a great , way in this resolution. Now let me read you the first section of the bill the rest of it is mere machinery: '"That no citizen of the United : States shall, by reason of race, color j or grevious condition of servitude be kept or excluded from full and equal , enjoyment of any accomodation, or fa- j cility or privilege furnished bv inn- i keepers, common carriers, whether on ? tana or water, by licensed owners or managers, lesses or officers, by ia- i culities, by trustees, commissioners, 1 teat-tiers or otner oracers ot the com inon schools and other public institu- -tions cf learning, the same being supported by moneys derived from gener al taxation or authorized by law. Al- i so aU sumptuary associations and be- i nevolent associations, supported or t authorized in the same way; provided, that schools and seminaries snd institutions of learninff. established sou, Mian remain aecoraintr to in shall remain accordinc to the terms of their original establishment." I This is the whole of it. Before rro-i ceeding to comment on this resolution ? 1 i . . n let me say that one-eighth ot the popu-J lauon is composed ot descendants oil the African tribe. Hence, in our 40 -r 000,000 of people there are 5.000,000 or the colored race. They are an in! tegralpart of the population ofthej country in three States theyconstifi tute a majority in South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana. In other! States they constitute a large fraction? of the population, in many instances? approaching one-half. According to! the Fifteenth Amendment these peo are or ought to be citizens ofth(j United States, because they have beenj born and the Fourteenth amend-l ment explicitly provides that all peri sons, born or naturalized in the' United States, and puject to its juris " diction, are citizens of the United States, and of the States wherein thejdwell. If you will define to me whaiis the measure of a: citizen's right 1 -will tell you the measure of a colored j man's rights. You were born in the ' United States. You are citizens ot the United States. What more- than a. citizen are you? There is no higher title in this country than that of a citizen of the United States. What ever, therefore, is the measure of your rights is the measure of the coloroc man's rights. Now it is supposed that this supplementary Civil Right, bill gives to the colored people hour rights they did not enjoy before : II is not so. The common .law' of the land ever since this fourteenth amendment has been part of the coustitution, gave to the colored man every right which this 6upplementarv civil rights bill confers. This : matter was tested in the District of Columbia. where they sought to exclude tht ' colored man from the same car in which the white man rode, ' li e courts did their duty and decided that ' every man who paid his fare .was entitled to ride in them. Has any law yet ever doubted that if a colored man went to a public house or institution ' for the accomodation of travelers and demanded his vest and refreshment, and proposed to pay the usual charges to the tavern keeper, did anyone ever Suppose that he was not entitle to be . teated just as well as the white traveler? Why should he not, if he pays an equal amount and behave himself decently? If he goes to the railroad ticket office and buys a first class ticket, why should he not be entitled to a first-class seat in a first-class car: Why is not his money as good as a . white man's money? And if he chooses to go to the theatre to see Uncle Tom's Cabin performed, or for fori eat let-" the purpose ot laughing or crying the same performance ot Joe J ferson's Rip Van Winkle, whyj shouldn't he. if he has bought a first-. class ticket, be entitled to a fir.-?t-clasp j seat? He can call upon the courts to sue them who deny him his lights.; The bill is designed to meet that case,' and to make it the object of these t institutions to secure those rights to ' him. That is the object of the law not to give any new rights. Even in f our own ranks there is a good deal oi hesitation about carrying this measure? of justice to the colored people. I ad- i dress my remarks to the weak-kneed j men of the party. Let me say to you.i my friends, thiB is the time to do that act of justice. Two constitutions im- jperatively required it at our hands. In this connection, I wish to read to) you one passage from the constitution! of our own State. I shall not pause! to make any interpretations upon it.' I shall content myself with leaving' that interpretation to yourselves alter? listening to it. It is the eighth arti-I cle of the constitution, adopted twenty two years ago: J "Knowledge and learning generally " diffused through the community, being essential to the preservation of free government, it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to encourage by all suitable means, moral intellect-' ual, scientific, and agricultural im-i provement, and to provide by law for a general and uniform system, of com-, mon schools, wherein tuition shall bewithout chiree. equally free to all."' Do you see the roint? Is there any, p e escape from that obligation, from that? o rm -.1 i ' guaranty? These schools are to be equally open to all. Here comes in the Fourteenth Amendment, that de- V dares that all. persons born in the' United States are citizens, and entitied to equal rights of citizens. Now 1

there schools are to be oien to the children of all citizens. This has received Judicial interpretation by ft Democratic Judge and a Judge who ttood high in the Democratic church, audi do not know but that he does yet. ' I refer to Judge Perkins, who for so many years administered justice in the Sujreme Court ofthc State of Indian. He is now; Judge in the Su1 perior Court in the city of Indianapolis. A case came before him as judge, " where a trustee had denied to the . children pi our colored citizens equal ; rights to ! the '. common schools - of a certain township. .. Judge -Perkins read the Fourteenth Amendment. : lie read those words I have jut read . from the Constitution of the United States. He read, furthermore, the acts of 69, and he pronounced the trustee in fault in refusing admission to the colored children, and ordered them to be admitted. I want to read to you that law he had before him.

and which is unknown to most Demohas been on the statue books years or more, ana contemixed schools, and provides tor i mixed schools, where the children ! cannot be separated. Listen while I i read this law, and see if there is any escape from it. You will say that it is a measure of Justice, and ought to ibc so. I will show you that it is so. 'it is found in volume 3, page 472, section III. of theRevised Statutes of the State of Indiana: "The trustee or trustees oi each township shall organ ize the colored children into separate,! schools, having all the rights and privileges of other schools of the township; providing there were not a sufficient number within j attending ditsance, the several districts imay be consolidated and form one district. But if there are not a sufficient number within a reasonable distance to be thus consolidated, the trustees shall provide such other means of education for said children as use their proporJion, according to numbers, of school money to the best advantage." The School Board of . Wabash, of which the Hon. John U. Petit was a member, having this ' statute before them, order the admission of the colored children into the schools of Wabi.sh. They were incorporated into them Applause. And since that decision was made, and the reason for it made known, all agitation has ceas cd. And when this bill, ' which has passed the Senate, shall have passed the House of Representatives as it will ns sure as tho sun rises the last bulkwark of the Democracy will have passed away. They have been trading on this : capital long ' enough." We heard until we are sick the Democratic apprehension of social equality being brought about between the two races. We had occasion to call upon this humble race to come and help us, and they came by thousands to the number, I believe, of one hundred thousand and were clothed with the martial uniform and arms put into their hands. And behold! the Democrats' were terribly alarmed lest there was going to be a condition of social equality. Did it come? No! very far from it! The Republican party were soon abolishing slavery, and then they were sure it would come. It was tbe great argument advanced by the Dem ocratic party all over the country , aeainsi ine rauncauon oi ine proposed Thirteenth amendment. ' But the' amendment was ratified by the people three or four years since, and we have no social equality. The proposition came to advance them to the rights of citizens of the United States. You heard the same cry that we had heard formerly about negro equality when they should become citizens of the United. States. The two races kept ju6t as distinct as 'before. And then it was sure to come when the proposition was submitted to the people that the colored race should be admitted to the right of voting. But although that proposition was ratified in '68 or '09 the equality has not come yet. Indeed since the colored people have been invested with the rights of citizenship, since they have had the right to marry and own . their wives and children, we have seen a good deal less social equality down South than prevailed there before. Aplause. They used in old times to have practical illustrations of Democratic notions of nigger equality. Applause and laughter. I repeat to you, my friends, that against this great measure of justice there is nothing that can be opposed, except unreasoning and unreasonable prejudice. And upon not only , the score of justice, not only upon the scores of our constitutional obligations to treat thes ' T b leople as citizens ofthc United Stat s, ut upon other excellent grounds, the ground of gratitude to the people for the services they have rendered their country, which they had known onlv by its oppressions; by the services, I say, which they rendered through the war in putting down the great rebellion, when we invited them to join with us. This people whom we have treated for two hundred years as fclaves, who have been vexed by the grandest slavery the world ever knew; all under the auspices, too, of our conttitution. And yet in bur extremity we called upon them to come over and we all learnt to forget a good many of our prejudices. .Let the Democrats sneer at them on account of their color and the conformation of their features; yet look at the question from a higher standpoint. I have no right to indulge in any prejudices, founded on mere sense, the Ecnse of sight or smell. They are not rcasontble if they have not a Caucasian heel or nose. When I was a youth I used to read the or;teles of God at the knee of my sainted mother. I used to read the book over ouce a year. 1 remember pausing long upon the first book of Genesis concerning the origin of man. It gave rise to many strange thoughts. I found there that after God had created the world, the races, and all things therein, last of all he created man in his own image, and that he gave him dominion over the earth and over the fish of the Eea, and over the fouls of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thine that creentth ubon the earth. And he gave him to subdue the earth, and alter his work was done he pfbnouiui4 it good, very good. Now pVse v- here. The colored man recognize him we must 3 a man and if so, he is the image of lirod, and I must have no right to slight the im.ee and throw contempt upon it. What authority have 1 to say whether Adam was black or white? What right have I to say but that he had all the facilities, mental and physical and moral, that I have? That he had them all, is clear. It is clear that he had the same appetites, the same wants, the same carnal nature, the loves and hates, the same desire for improvements, the same susceptibility .i- i . .1 i : i i oi marital anu iuurai iiuroveiueniana culture. There can be no question about it. ' There can be no question that he was created by God, and that . i: r.i. his years were to run parallel with God's. There can be no doubt not essentially in the philosophic mind. that there is no amerence whatever between the two races Hence it costs me no effort whatever to acquiesce at

once in the proposition to make them civilly and politically equal with my" :lf. And A do not- think , there is any dangerof social -equality follow

ing upon mat auuiisHiua. "3, ' But tho Democratic arty have always, ever sJnce they have existed as a party, been hunting a position of power, and it has always - seemed to them that unless a great wall was reared up between them and the black race there was great danger of run ning into a state ot social equality. Thpy were afraid to. trust themselves; they were afraid that the ardent temperament of the Democratic youth would impel them to rush pell-mell against the tradition and religion of the party into the arms of some Saint Dinah and make her their wife. Laughter. We have not been troubled with anything like that. There is another reason, the admirable conduct of the colored race, their uniform fidelity to the Union cause. And then there is another feature that I caunot recall without my gratitude being deeply stirred within me. These people, who have been in bondage two huudred years, visited by all the outrages of slavery while their masters w ere away on distant battle fields attempting to establish km empire whose foundation should be slavery attempting to make slavery last for the future they loft these people a.t home for sentinels guarding their wives and hildren and providing for their subsistence on the old plantations. . Now did the negro remember his wrongs? Did he embrace the opportunity to visit these hated scenes with rapine andjMinder? No! If he kit these w rongs, as he must, rankling in his heart he put aside the supreme temptation, and listen to the voice of religion. " Vengeance is mine, I will repay laith the Lord." Applause. II ol man's War Rcrord. The speech of I B. Morris, Esq., at Cambridge City, is well worth a perusal, especially, the documentary evidenoe he ives from the Globe. Had we room we wonld like to pub lish the whole speech; but we must coutcnt ourself with the official record he gives. It will be found to be, in the language of Samival Valler. "wery interesting' The first war record that Holman made in Congress, of any interest, was ou the 25th of February, 18G2. On that day Blair, from the committee on Military Affairs, reported a bill to ui;4;e aaanditional article of war. The bill is as follows: '.'Be it enacted by the Senate and House .of Representatives of the Uni .ted .States of America in Congress assembled, That hereafter the f ollow ing shall be promulgated as an additional article of war for the government of the army of tho United States and shall be obeyed and observed as such. Art. . AH officers or persons in the military and naval rerv.ee of tlu United States are prohibited from employing any of the forces under their respective commands for the puipsc of returning fugitives from service or labor w ho may have escaped from any person to whom such service or labor is claimed to be due. Any officer who shall be found guilty by court martial ot violating this article shall be dismissed from the .service." Vallandigham moved to lay the bill on tbe table. 'Tho yeas and nays were ordered; the question put and was de cided iu the negative. Yeas, 44; nays, 87. Holman and Vallandigham voted to table the bill. The main question wasordered. Vallandigham called for the yeas and nays ou the passage of the bill, lhe yeas and nays were or dered; the question was taken and decided in the affirmative. Yeas, 63; nays, 42. Holman and Vallandigham voted against tho bill. ICong.- Globe 1861-2, part 1st. rage 957-8.. Here we find Ilolman on the record as being in favor of employing our army and navy in hunting dow n fugitive slaves and returning them to their rebel masters who were fighting to overthrow our government. On the 8th of December, 1802. On that day Stevens, of Pennsylvania, introduced a bill to "indemnify the President and other persons for suspending tho privilege of the writ of habeas corpus and acts done in pursu anco thereof." The second section invested the President during the existence of the rebellion with authority to declare the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas' corpus at such times and iu such places and with regard to such persons as, in his judgment, the public safely might require. Vallandigham objected to the second reading of the bill. The Speaker then put the question: "Shall the bill be rejacted?" Vallandigham demanded the yeas ami nays, the yeas and nays were ordered, the question was put and decided in the negative. Yeas, 34; nays, 90. Holman and Vallandighatti voted to reject the bill. Steven1' then moved the previous questiou. The question recurreti upon ordering themainqucstion on that motion. Vallandigham demanded again the yeas and nays. The question was taken and was decided in the affirmative. Yeas, 83; nays, 47 Holman and Vallandigham voted nay. Holman then moved to lay the bill on the table. Cox called for the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The question was'take.n and w as decided in the negative. Yeas, 45; nays, 88. Holman and Vallandigham voted to table the bill. Vallaudighain dc manded the yeas and nays on the passage of the bill. The yeas and nays were ordered. The question was taken and it was decided in the affirmative. Yeas. 90. nays 45. Holman and Vallandigham voted against the bill on its passage. Cong. Globe 1862 3, part 1st, pages 20, 21 and 22. You all remember the circumstances under which tbc bill was passed. At the outbreak of the rebellion many of the leading Democrats were found to be in the conspiracy to overthrow the government and some were trying to get up a little war on their own hook in this State to divert the attention of our army. The President found that the public safety demanded that he should suspend the privilege of habeas corpus, and arrest and imprison some of these Democratic gentlemen who had entered into this treasonable conspiracy. As soon as these arrests were made the whole Democratic party set up the howl of Constitution, claiming that the President, without authority given by Congress, had no right to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus and to make these arrests. When Congress assembled this bill was introduced to give the President the authority that he might summarily settle some of these Democrats at home, in case tbey became too belligerent. And now, in this fight, we find Holman fighting sfdc by side with the great ' war Democrat, C. L. Vallandigham, in a desperate effort to withhold from the President the most effective power and means of putting down the rebellion. He was afraid that the President might get after some of those war Democrat i friends of his, such as Bowles, and

. Milligan, who were doing their utmos fo put down the rebellion by working up the orders of the Knights of the Golden Circle and Sons of Liberty in this State, to be used -as a reserve force to support the army. Holman did not want this . corps of the army disturbed. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued on the 22d day of September, 18G2. On the 11th of December, 1862, Ycaman offered the following resolution ip the House: Resolved, . By the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring) that the Proclamation of the President of the United Stages of date the -22d of September, 1862, is not war-

: ranted by the Constitution. l ; Resolved, That the policy of emancipation as indicated in that Proclamation is not calculated to hasten the restoration of peace, was not well chosen as a war measure, and is an asumption of power dangeroua to the rights of the citizens, and to the perpetuity of a free people. Ilolman de manded the previous question on the adoption of the resolutions.- Levejoy moved to lay the resolutions on the table. Holman demanded the yeas . and nays; the yeas and nays were ordered, the .question was put and was decided in the affirmative. Yeas, 94; nays, 45. Holman and Vallandigham voted against tabling the resolutions. Cong. Globe, 1862-3, pari first, page 7b' On the 15th day of December, 1862, S. O. Fcssenden offered the following resolutions in the House: Resolved, That the proclamation of the United States, of the date of September 22d, 1862. is warranted by the Constitution. Resolved, That the policy of emancipation as indicated in that proclamation is well adapted to hasten the restoration ot peace, was well chosen as a war measure, and is an exercise of power with tbe proper - regard for the rights of the States and the perpetuity of free government. - Holman said: "I move that the resolution be laid on the table, and on that motion 1 call for the yeas and nays." The yeas and nays were ordered, the question was taken, and it was decided in the negative. Yeas, 53; nay?, 81 Holman and Vallandigham voted to table the resolution. Holman demanded the yeas and nays on the adoption, of the resolutions; the yeas and nays were ordered, the question was taken and it was decided in the affirmative. - Year, -78; nays, 51. ! Ilolman and Vallandigham voted against the resolution on its passage. Cong. Globe 1862-3, part first, page 92. Thus Holman put himself on the record as being the leading opponent to tbe Emancipation proclamation, that great war measure that broke the backbone of the rebellion and emancipated lonr millions of sla ves. This is the bright page of his brilliant record in the eyes of the Democracy. To it we invite the attention of our colored voters, and ask them to remember it at the election: and when you meet together to celebrate the day th;tt gave birth to your libertj, while you remember Lincoln, I enjoin you not to forget Holman. She next great political battle that Ilolman fought in Congress commenced on the 12th of January, 1863. The fight was provoked by Thad. Stevens introducing a bill authorizing the President to enlist neo soldiers into the army to aid in suppressing the rebellion. The second section provided "that slaves, as well as freemen, might be enlisted, and that such persons should never again be made slaves." Holman moved to lay the bill on the table. Lovejoy demanded the yeas and nays; the yeas and nays were ordered, the question was taken and decided in the negative. Yeas, 54; nays, 83. nolman voted to table the bill. Con. Globe, 1862-3, part first,, page 282. On February 3d, 1863, the bill was passed. Holman demanded tbe yeas and nays on the passage of the bill; the yeas and nays were ordered, the question was taken and decided in the affirmative. Yeas, 83; nays, 54. Holman and Vallandigham voted against the bill on its passage. Con. Globe, part first, page 690. In the protracted fight on this bill it is difficult to tell which excelled in their hostility to the bill. Holman or Vallandigham, or which of the two proved himself to be the greatest war Democrat, uewill give them both credit for having made a splendid fight in trying to protect their friends across tbe line from the necrro's bnlt lets and bnvonets. The next great war measure that came before the House was the Sellate bill No. 511, for enrolling and calling out the national forces. The bill was read the first and second times on the 21st day of February, 1863. After a determined effort on the rart of the Democrats of the House to defeat the bill by every means known to parliamentary tactics, the bill came up for final action on the 25th day of February. Holman demanded the yeas and nays on the passage of the bill; the yeas and nays were ordered; the question was taken, and it was decide in the affirmative. Yeas, 115; nays, 48. Holman and Valandigham led the fight against the bill, and both voted against it on its final passage. Con. llobe, ,1862-3, part second, page 1293. r Under this bill (he draft was made. It carried more terror to the homes of Democrats than any at of the government during the war. It was decidedly too personal in its application for the Democracy. Democrats even now look upon this dazzling page ot Holman's war record with tender emotions, and with tears and sobs tell us "that if there had been a few mere Holmans in Congress they would not have been forced into the army to fight their dearest friends.' What a record for a war Democrat! What a pity that Valandigbam was not permitted to live until this day tq enjoy with his comrade in arms the great fame they won in this memorable battle of being the greatest war - Democrats of the nation. Then follows, the record of Mr. Holman, from this same Congressional Globe, of his votes against the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments . to the Constitution. The Liberty Herald well and Iruley says: "Holman can only be elected bj Republican votes. We have a ma jority of 1,500 in this district, and if every Republican adheres to principle and votes an unscratched ticket, all will be well; an able and honest man will be elected, and principle sustained." A San Francisco reporter blushed at some remarks of Victoria Woodhull, and was promptly discharged by his employers for "conduct unbecoming a journalist" About women Men.

The I.nwrrnrrbnnt Democratic Rrg iKler'a Opinio, ot Hon. B. F. Clay 1. It is a gratifylng'circumstance to ns that the Republicans of this District liavo ' selected for their candidate a person of ' such excel lent political, financial and moral character as the gentleman whose name heads this article. So far as we have been able to learn, Mr. Claypool is person lly in erery way qualified for a fit reprebentative of this District in the 1 halls of Congress; and this gives ns comfortable assurance, that as far as the two

candidates are concerned , the Congressional canvass will be conducted honorably, and not dis graced by any of those low person alities that sometimes . makes such contests unpleasant and disgraceful. If Mr. Claypool should be elected their representative concerning him personally his constituents of all parties will no doubt have cause to congratulate themselves that the choice has been made of so worthy a man. A .correspondent of a Northern paper says: In talking with two citizens of Atlanta, one lately from the north ?rn part of the State, and the other from the southeren, I put the ques tion plainly to them if they did not believe that since the civil rights agitation there had been an average of a negro ft day killed in Georgia. They both answered that they believe the average would reach two a day, and gave me instances that were painfully confirm atory." II that can be kept up long enongh it will insure Democratic ascendancy in the State for a good while. By the way, Georgia is one of the Statos alluded to by Governor Hendricks in his convention speech, as peaceable, happy and prosperom under Democratic rule. Some time during the war Fletch er Freeman was murdered in cold blood because he undertook the enrollment of Cass township, Sullivan county. The matter has re cently been revived by a church trial in that township, during which Dr. Geo. Freentan, a son of the murdered man, expressed himself pretty freely on the subject, His house was burned last Friday night the work of an incendiary. He found on his door step, the night before, a little note warning him to leave the county, or "get his shroud and coffin." The Doctor ; replies, through tbe colums of the Union, that he will meet any who were engaged in this, half way, and fight like men, but is not to be scared away by threats. GKEO.
