MM IS A FRRKMAH WHOM THE TRUTH MAKER FREE. Immease Meeting at Lancaster. The Wt Lancaster e contains the pro- - ceedmgs of an immense indignation meeting of the Democracy of Fairfield county, in relation to the recent kidnapping of Dr. Edson B. Olds, by order of the depots at Washington. It was the largest meeting of any kind that has been held in Lancaster since 1840 not less than five thousand hard-fisted -Democrats being in council. There were six hundred wagon and ' and buggy loads of voters, and two hundred on horseback, present . on the . occasion, which shows that the . Democracy are hot dead, and cannot becmshed out by the tyrannical party that is now ruling and ruining the country. i Xjach township delegation had one or more Union Flags to the breeze good old Demoern- - tic Flags, with 34 Ptars on them, and not disunion Abolition flags, with 16 stars, such as the Republicans carried in the Fremont campaign of 1856. A series of pointed resolutions were adopted, expressive ofthe deep and withering indignation of the Democracy of Fairfield, in regard to the gross violation of tbe Constitution and laws of the land, in kidnapping a citizen, and incarcerating him in a dun- - geon, for the mere expression of an opinion. Able and eloquent speeches were made by Hon. C. D. Martin, Hon. W. E. Fink, Col. P. Van rnmp, and Gov. William Medill. The Eagle says : " Never was such an immense meeting ao orderly conducted. Not a single man was eeen intoxicated during the day. It was a D - mocratie meeting; and they came together to . express their solemn and earnest condemnation of the unconstitutional and tyrannical arrest pf Dr- E. B. Olds." fn the Cincinnati Commercial we find a pretty full report of the proceedings, from which we make the following extract from the speech of our friend Martin : , c 1" It matters not how much we were attached to our fellow-citizen who lately on the night of the 12th instant forcibly taker) from ft. hoi of sickness and transported hence no one knows wji ere, ; It iathe prmeipl-at -which we complain and against which we protest today. Applause. If any man violates the laws of hin country, let him be punished for it: let him have a fair trial a public trial by an impartial jury let him be confronted by the vritnessea against him let an impartial jury fass upon his case. I care not whether the j try he right or wrong there i not a Democrat in the length and : breadth of .'tli's vast Union, whrt will not stand by the decision and i "assist and carrying out the laws. The Democracy are determined to maintain the laws, without fear, favor or affection, f Arplan!e. . . - I In the present struggle we have but. one. hope "of an honorable peHPe, and that is in se-; curing conservat ive members for the next Congress. A pplaus-.! We have little hope o!" doing Vauch with the Senate, but by proper efforts the lower House can be reached and such a, curb put upon the legislation of Congress as to secure a constitutional war, imbuing a spirit of compromise among our fellow citizens of Jhe South, and securing their return to patriotism and allegiance. . General Stone. 1 It is a hard necessity which civil war imposes, whenever it is right to seize a citizen, tp Imprison him. and then to release him without letting him or scarcely any body eke know itber why he was arrested or why he was released. The National Intelligencer, remark-: jog upon the case of the gentleman named above, says: " The officer thus mysteriously released, was just as mysteriously- arrested in this city many months ago, and without any charges being preferred against him, has been held in military dustody , by order ot the President aver sipca, urjtil his release, without trial, a few day ago. It is hard to say whether such a proceeding is a greater wrong totheGovernment,GaQ.jitone .or ib the loyal people of the. country ; for, on any theory which may be adopted, or in any : light in which General Stone's conduct may be yiewed, he is entitled to be honorably acquitted of the 'charges supposed to . be brought ' against him or the country mayju6tly demand - to have him legally condemned, if he has beep guilty of any misconduct. .

Senator Pomeroj, of Kansas, acting in concert with President Lincoln, has commenced j opera Hons for locating a colony of blacks at GhirkU8 New GranaHa. provided 4he consent of that gorernment can U obtained. Means of transportation and for the protection of the l :J j l -: settlement are to be provided by our eovern- nient, and ttie colony is to oe support ea ior me first season also at government expense. Sen- ator Pomeroy has issued an address to the free colored people ot tfte umteaotates inviung them to take part in this movement for social position and independence. H e proposes to take on the 1st of October next, one hundred colored men as pioneers, who will form the ad- ynce ofthe fi)p wboSe colonization an ap- ppopriatioo was made by last Congress. Ko.-Jj Wiiite person the colony. will be allowed as a member of A Clergyman on the Eampage The Clarke County (Ohio)Dwocra of the i CTth, says: The Rev. Mr. Childs. in a war speech made : in this city (Springficd) on the evening of the 19th inst., said : " The man who desires to have the Union as it was, ought to be hanged up by the heetx until Ac is dead, dead, dead! and the wolves and the ravens ought to cut the JLsh from his carcass !" ; This fiendish remark was received with loud shouts ' of applause by the crowd around him. What could be better calculated (adds the Enquirer) to discourage enlistnietiU than such a speech, yet we do not hear that he was arrested tor that ofiense ! His being an Abolitionist, and wearing a white cravat, protects him from that. The greatest liberty of speech is allowed on one side! Profligacy, John P. Hale, a Republican U. S. Senator from New Hampshire, gave the following note of warning to the people, in a debate in Congress, which took place in April last: J tail you, sir, I believe and I declart it upon, my own responsibility as a Senator of the United Stales. Til AT THE LIBERTIES OF THIS COUNTRY ARE IN GREATER DANGER TO-DAY FROM THE CORRUPTIONS AND FROM THE PROFLIGACY PRACTISED IN THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT THAN IT IS FROM THE OPEN ENEMY IN THE FIELD, Yet Republican papers have not one word of censure to patss upon the thieves and plunderers. They have never had the honesty or courage to tell tbV people of the threatened danger, because the -culprits belong to their own party. Their patrialitm., forbid their denouncing the thieving of political friends. Ex. "' The President" and the Aooiftionists. The Presinent has been induced to .withdraw his attention for a moment from his le gitimate duties, to respond to a fire in the rear from the ra lical brigade. Our amiable Chief Magistrate unnecessarily defends his course and explains his motives -and after all fails to satisfy; his accusers. Mi. Greeley still declares his 'anxiety' over the President's policy, aud ridicules his late explanation by calling it a ''subjective deliverance on slavery in the war,", having its parallel in ''a charge of an Illinois Justice to a Jury iinpan'neTed to try an issue between two partners who had quarreled and broken up."' The charge ran thus: :- "If the Jury believe, from the evidence, that the plain iff and defendant were partners in the grocery, anil gavethi-i note for the interest, and that the defendant paid for the note by delivering to the plaintihTa cow which he warranted not breacby. and the warranty was broken by reason of the breachiness -of the cow and he drove the cow hack and tendered her to the defendant, hut the defendant refused to receive her. and the plaintiff took her home again, and put a heavy vnke upon her to prevent her from jumping the fence, and by reason of the yoke she broke her neck, and died-and if the Jury believe that the defendant's j)Ucet in the grocery was not worth anything, the plaintiffa note was worthless, and the cow good for nothing either for milk or beef, then the Jurv must find out how thev will decide : the ae- for the Court, if she understands her self, and she thinks she do, is at considerable nonplus how such a case should exactly be decided." Surely the President's "old friend," has not a very respectful way Ostifving -his friendship.' But, to use 'a GreeleySsm, "some pork will boil so," BUthenkiting, : The Cincinnati Thmes of last evening contained a very free editorial 09 the Administration and the way tbe war has been eon-ducted. The Times speaks as if it is in earnest, and as if it thought the Administration needed plain and earest talking to. We have no objection to plain talk; on th contrary; we rather like it.

We say that all men must now take sides between these positions, and we are gratified to see a paper of the influence of the Journal meet the question sqaarely. and boldly choose and proclaim th right. On the platform of the Constitution' and the Union we are prepared to stand, and welcome allwho will stand with us, and struggle to up hold the Federal Government to the last. And standing and struggling there, victory is not doubtful. . We copy the conclusion of the Journal's article t : - . ' , ' In 'thia emergency this hour of Imminent peril men who keep out of the army, thetn-eejves, seek to . distract and: to divide tbe people, and to weaken the Government, by thrusting forwaH their one idea,. .These men, by letters and in - person, have been arrogantly dictating to the President a policy which wouH, if pursued, -annihilate . the", hopes and the wel 'are of our country and the people,-Unsuccessful ; in their scheme,.-'-the Eoening Post demanded, and the Tribune "assumed to give, the names of those who, in the Cabinet, dared to resist newspaper dictation. In conclusion, and that time may test the soundness or fallacy of our views, we now ad- joaMrr-twT-frtOTd and -readers to' beware of 'counsels' which teach that the tobjicfof thS war is to ilestroy,lavery .We' maintain that its object is to preserve s the -Government and the Union. The object of the rebellion is to extend slavery.' But the trfect. if the war be wisely conducted, will - be it destruction : ' for it is ever thus that uaadness i precedes destruction. And this law of Nature and Providence can only be reversed, by counteracting mad ness and folly. In other words, we desire to express, in the most unequivocal Jaipuage. the opinion that if, at the expense of a. thousand millions of treasure, ,and rivers of blood, we fail to crush the rebellion, re-establish the authority of the Government, and incidental! v work out einHncipation, it will be because the wiekedne"8 and blindness of sLavert is sur passed by the fanaticism and folly of aboli tion. - . Oood Letter from Col. Mulligan. Col. Mulligan addresses from his post .in Virginia, the following letfeif to BJey. D.'

I bid you welconje: to the uewr vocation. I hail your ohnversion from the breviary to the bay-one, mim the canon law to the law of can-nohs'.Srota taking heaven by violence" to taking towns by storm. It is meet and just. Your biography will need a stirring chapter. Your history is too full of this "rale of tears;" this rnartyrlom of parishes; this lean- look of Lent: bow splendidly will a chapter read with the caption, " Arma Vmtmjue Cano" ; ' I need not tell you. Father Dunne, how intimately in all ecclesiastical history, Su.Peter and saltpetre are blended, shedding lustre upon many a mitre. The real orthodoxy of the time is not " Gahan'e Sernions," but Hardee's Tactics. Men are saved now-a-days by the doctrines of St. James. " by : fire," and are , brought to that state of grace by the " apostolic blows and knocks" of Ffndibras. To be a priest according to the Order of Melcbiedeok is a great thing, but to be a colonel accordiag ! to tbe act of Congress is, speaking mildly, " bully."
