Derby & o.. have just issued from the
press a new history of Ohio, written by
JAMES W. TAYLoR. Esq. The paper, type
and mechanical execution Of this new can
didatc for public favor are equal to the best
10 the country, Its typography isexcel-
lent. and we very much doubt whether
this portion of the work can be surpassed.
We have not had time to give the book a
careful perusal. but judging from its neal
exterior and the numerous very fatterine
notices we have seen of its merits in oul
exchanges. We are led to look upon it ia
vorably and believe it to be faithful ant
reliable history Of our State, and well wor
thy place in the library of every family
within her borders. -
| Excepting the "Old Thirteen" perhap
no State in the Union can present better
more substantial & more generaland high
ly interesting historical matter than o hio
How well, therefore, does it become ever,
man, woman and child that can boast Q
a birth and, home on her soil to max
themselves perfectly familiar with her en-
tire history. and as an opportunity is nov
presented for the Insignificant sum of on
dollar and fifty cents we would advise a
to do SO. ,
The book is for sale at SEARL's Boo
Store, opposite SheHer's Hotel. Main St
Lancaster. Wa advise our readers to G
and examine the work. We could not b
induced to part with ours for anythin
near its original cost. * aof aas

a voice hailed me, and, on looking up,
again saw Stewart. when he hur. icdly ask

We need notsay that Lafayette was a
srss and enthusiastic friend offFeedom. and
of Anerican freedom, His grsal sacrifices
for our country during her struggle for in
dependence proved the ardOr Of his SYM
pathy, and gave him claim to be heard in
what relates to our welfare. Washington
loved him as a brother. When he return
ed 70 his native land to foster there the
principles ofliberty. he watched our fortune
with the deepest interest and anxiety; and
when, after the absence of many years, he
again visited our shores, it was with thrill
ling emontions ofjoy that he witnessed the
magnificent growth ofthc Republic. The
counsel and warning Of such man ought
to be well pondered by American citizens.
I"AMERIcAS LIBERTY CAN BE DESTROYED ON
1t Dr THE PoPIsH oLEReY." Such was
his warning. "Like veteran mariner"
says Prof. Morse, the famous inventor ol
the telegraph. Lafayette was ever watch
ing the political horizon for the indications
of danger to his beloved America; andtht
danger to which his latest warnings poiu
ted was this very covert political attscl
whichis in full operation upon our soil a
this moment; an attack the more dangerous
because it shields itself under the mask o
religion, and cries out, Persecution! a
