. 1. Tod on (he Crisis. I'avid Tod. or Pot Metal Davy, as he was popularly dubbed, either on account of his abdominal proportions or the impenetrable hardness ot his head has delivered him himself - self himself of a speech upon his favorite theme. U. Tod seldom speaks but upon one tub tub-ject; - ject; tub-ject; to its thorough comprehension he has devoted the greatest part of his life ; it is a subject w hieli warms liini with enthusiasm, astounds him with Admiration, and over overwhelms - whelms overwhelms him with its momentous importance. That subject is D. Tod. The "eatrleyo" of the "incorruptable Governor" has taken a survey of the whole universe and the won won-dirs - dirs won-dirs thereof, but it never gazed upon any anything - thing anything worthy of a moment's consideration, except I). Tod. His mind was wandered like a lost pedestrain on the prairie, but it ever returned to the contemplation of the same point from which it started D. Tod. To him the human family is but a T, the round globe an O, the earth a D. and their union makes Tod. With this preliminary explanation we may introduce the speech of .the ' Eagle Eagle-eyed, - eyed, Eagle-eyed, " delivered at the Baltimore Conven Convention - tion Convention and telegraphed to the loyal journals of Cincinnati : "In the caucus of the Ohio delegation this morning the question of the Vice Pres Presidency - idency Presidency cameup. on tiie statement of a dele delegate - gate delegate that Mr.-Tod's name would probably be presented to tbe Convention f,.r the Vice Presidency, in which case Ohio should unani unanimously - mously unanimously niiiy to bint. To this .Mr. Gaddis replied, that Ohio should look to her future interests more than to personal preference. I She should do nothing now against her chances in the next Cabinet. This brought out .Air. Tod, who made, to say the least, every preMiuipfouf speech. He did not do dopy - py dopy that his Mime would be presented, but intimated it would be done by delegates from some other State, and insisted thid Ohio, in that case, ought: to stand by him. Tie bad beed offered positions under the ad ad-ministrution - ministrution ad-ministrution of Pierce and Buchanan, and I forget bow many other administrations, and seemed to imply that his personal inipor inipor-tt.uce - tt.uce inipor-tt.uce was so weighty (hat the administra administration - tion administration could not do itself or him justice that failed to observe this time-honored custom. He pitched into Gaddis for bis remarks, construing (hem a reflecting upon him. and capped the climax by reinaikirg that, the Union par'y of Ohio had lowered it. elf iu electing Brough Governor and defeated him. The debate partook somewhat of a general chai aeter. a'ld 'he result was not such a ple.i.ed Ted or his friends." I That this aide ;:ud chaiai'teristie speech failed to f ecu iv the in. mediate nomination of Tod for the Yicj Pic-'ideney, is conclusive evidence of the total absence of dberimina dberimina-ting - ting dberimina-ting intelligence and appreciation on the part of the Ohio delegation of Abolitionists. Is it possible that the twaddle of the P.ev. Mr. Gaddis, whose clerical education has developed to a remarkable degree his facul faculty - ty faculty of smelling the loaves, ti.-iies and flesh flesh-pots - pots flesh-pots afar off, should be listened to or fund funded - ed funded after Tod had thus-divested himself ol' his maiden modesty and coyly insinuated his willingness to accept the position? Has it conn; to i-uch a pass in the camp of the loyal that the man who had "the backbone" to arrest a country gentleman and suppress a rural newspaper, the man who captured John Morgan mid allowed him to escape, the man who refused all sorts of positions from all sorts of Administrations,- the man who represented bis country abroad and whose children had danced with the children of a Brazilian Emperor is it possible, we ask. that he should be put down by a chirk-en-fed preacher and refused tbe Vice Presi Presidency - dency Presidency by a caucus ol' his iellow loyalists? Oh! David, the Beservcs could wee p for thee, Briar Hill will mourn in the ashes of dispair, and Young'-towii will clothe its mor moral - al moral limbs in sackcloth! To what a market hast thou conveyed thv wares. O David of the Pot Belly! To what base uses hast thou perverted thy stock intrude!

Woe! woe! to the house of Tod ! 1 tlKAKl), years ago, the late Itev. J nines B. Finley, of Ohiothe old Chief, as we called him relate the following: He was a wild boy, and took a full part in all the fun, frolic,, "devilment." which was so prominent a feature of our Western lite in its earlier days. There was a practice in vogue those days of parties stealing into melon patches at night, eating the luscious fruit to their utmost capacity, and then milking a general smash up of ihe balance, 'il.is was certainly rather rough and mali malicious - cious malicious fun-; hut as few except "close-listed" farmers were visited, who were stingy of melons, the practice was rather popular than' otherwise. There was a German in the neighborhood who received tome flight from one of his nearest neighbors, mid meditated revenge. One day, in the melon season, no came to young Finley and proposed that they thould havo a Kood time in a melon patch that night. 'The matter was soon arranged, the time and place of rendezvous appointed. The night was dark, and proved chilly for the season, and when tbo Dutchman ap appeared - peared appeared he brought a bottle of apple brandy or apple jack as it is generally called of which lie. bad imbibed freely. Long before daylight the parties returned to their homes ; tho Dutchman elated and chuckling over the eoiisternation with which his neighbor would be filled in tho morning. Finley, however, was in more than usually pleasant mood, and certainly had no compunctions of conscience for the part he had in the trick. He was at work near the house in the af afternoon - ternoon afternoon when he saw his Teutonic friend ap approaching, - proaching, approaching, wit ha countenance in which sor sorrow - row sorrow and anger wure equally combined. Fin Finley - ley Finley started to meet him, saluting him : ' llow are you, J dhurry ? Did'nt we have a big time last night?" "Oh, Shim (Jim,) dein was mine own melons that we broke hist night. AY hat fool we is!" burst out. the agonizing Dutchman. Finley consoled him as best he eould ; and his friend never suspected that tho sad mis mistake - take mistake was only the trick of a sober rogue played off on a drunken one. : "Did he not make several visits after the patient was out of dunger?" was the ques question - tion question of a lawyer in cross-examination of a witness called to prove a doctor's bill, in one of our courts, ' a lew days ago.

It should still further be borne in mind that he has none of his blood or kindred in the army of the Union notwithstanding he prates unceasingly of his loyalty and urges that "the last man and the last dollar be spent. " While he gives biavc lip service bis actions speak louder than words, and in this wise: "Let the war go on let every poor man in the country go let them bleed and let them die what matter, so that the.

Nine out of ten of the rebel prisoners ttf the South wants peace. Jeff.

AVe give an extract trom his letter, which shows that the rebel leaders would have, come down gracefully, but our rulers had no manners, and the want of which, has sine? lost us 100,000 lives: " Commissioners were sent before hostili hostilities - ties hostilities were bttgun, and the AVashington Gov Government - ernment Government would not receive them, or hear what they had to say. A second time I sent a military officer with a communication addressed by myself to President Lincoln. The letter was received by Gen.

The third time, a few months ago, agentlemsa was sent w hose jiosition. character and rep reputation - utation reputation were such as to insure his reception, if the enemy were not determined to receive no proposals whatever from the Govern Government. - ment.

The enemy refused to let him pass through their lines or to hold any conference with them". He was stop stop-red - red stop-red before he reached Fortress Monroe on his way to Washington. To attempt again (in the iiice of these repeated rejections of all conference with us ) to send commission commissioned - ed commissioned a grnts to pi ojjose peace, is to invite iimdt and contumely, and to subject ourselves 'to iiuliimitti irithout the slightest chance of be being - ing being listened to. JEFFFRSON DAVIS." This Lincoln and Davis fight is just like a fight between two strong men. One hates to give up to the other, but the friends of each wish some third man would stopin.and part thein. That is just what the Demo Democratic - cratic Democratic party proposes to do. Let thepeoplo put us in power, and we can settle these fighting cocks in a day, and restore peace to the country, and bring all tbe brave soldiers home to their families.

Tho recent successes that have attended our arms lead to the hope that, by maintain maintaining - ing maintaining our military strength, and giving it such incrcaiC as the extended field of operations may require, an early termination of the war may bo attained.

To that end resort must bo had to a drr.fr. But ample experience has nov; shown that the pecuniary exemption from service frus frustrates - trates frustrates the object of the enrollment Law by furnishing money instead of men. An additional reason for repealing tbo ex exemption - emption exemption clause is, that it is contemplated to make the draft for a comparative short term.

Already, however, the races regarded each other with disparaging eye. The Yankee sneoringly spoke of the Manhattoes as the "Copper "Copperheads;" - heads;" "Copperheads;" while the latter, glorying in their own lu-tber rotundity, and observing the sliu,k galligaskins of their rivals, flapping like an empty sail against the mast, retorted upon them with the approbrious appellation of the "Platter Breeches." If one of these .party epithets, then, is to be revived, and the venerable name of "Cop "Copperheads" - perheads" "Copperheads" is to be applied to the peace-loving, discreet, honest men of the country, as in good Dutch times, surely their opponents the active, restless, meddlesome busybodies, should not object to the rival name of "Plat "Platter - ter "Platter Breeches."

The Democrats Can't Elect a IreslIeul." AVc sometimes members ot the ,.i-, r .1...
