To The Editor ~ me NmtoHm E'u'
DEAR Sra Under the caption Of Liberty Of
Conscience, in your last paper you publish a
petition now in circulation in the State OF
Ohio, which, as far as ii goes must meet with
the hearty appreciation Of every true Ameri-
can but would II not be improved by striking
out the words ministers and agents OF every
grade and the words foreign representa-
tvcs residing at the seat Of our Government"
and inserting in lieu Of the first the word cit
ixens.p and in lieu Of the second citizens or
subjects Of other Governments residing within
the United States"
The day is rapidly approaching when the
battle must be fought between Absolutl'm, ~
cnshrined at Rome, and perfect freedom OF
conscience; and why should not our own Re-

public begin the contest. II is due TO Ameri-
can citizens in Rome, or in any other part of
the world that the Government should protect
them in the right to worship the God of their
fathers according to the dictates of their own
consciences Yours truly.

Whole vote of Ohio in 1851 2S2O56


The whole vote for Governor in 1850 was
267,945, and in 1913 (the year of the Presi-
dental election it was 296927 The vote for
Vinton is less by about 1000 than that given
for Johnston by the Wings II year ago and is
undoubtedly below the vote of that party
General Taylor in 1S48, obtained $4,000
votes, which is 10000 more than Vinton's
vote this year. Many, who may be fairly
called anti-slayery men, no doubt voted for
Governor Wood and that together with his
high standing personally, and his being the
representative of the Progressive or Demo
cratic sentiment and of the new Constitution,
and the conservative character Of Mr.. Vinton
who is Fillmore and Webster Wing, contrib
uted to swell his majority.

who expected it 10 come up to something like

of the nomination of General Taylor drove
away many anti-savery Wings on the Reserve;
and many under the pressure OF the circum-
stances voted with us, who could not be ex-
pccted to do 40 on all occasions. Those We can
reiy upon at all times are maiuiy, after all, the
old-fiisbioned Liberty men, and the natural
accessions to their numbers springing from the
adoption of their principles The increase Of
our vote at the elections for Governor, for 1874
to this time, shows steady growth, and the

TJNHIS Institution, on account Of the rapidly in
IL crcasing demand for admittance, has been
compelled to change its locaton-the buildings at
Blue Lick Springs being insufficient for the accom-
modation of the large number seeking entrance.
Within the last year two hundred and sixty cadets
have been matriculated, of whom near one hun
dred have left or been discharged mainly for want
Of suitable "quarters.' Drennon Springs has been
secured as the future and permanent location OF the
school 10 the great body of our patronage, com
ing as it does from the South and West, no point
could be more desirable. Situated within one mile
of the Kentucky river, midway between Frankfort
and Louisville it is easy of access in all directions
steamboats, passing both ways daily.
Che buildings and improvements arevery exten-
siye, aiiording ample room and accommodations
for three hundred cadets.
Its retired and healthful position emnently
adapts il for the purposes Of Military School. Be
ing eight miles from any town, it is free alike from
the vices and extravagancies usually incident to a
college life.

Monday, the 10th of February, and hereafter the
