Armed in the principles of the Constitu-
tion, she will oppose its naturalization:
true to the. faith In which her youth was
nurtured, and calm in the consciousness OF
her matured strength, she will abide in
the Union. and, under the Constitution,
maintain Liberty.
Let us hope that good counsel may yet
prevail: that differences may be composed
by q return to the faith of the Fathers,
and to the original policy of the Repub-
lie; and that our whole country, thus re.
lieved from existing causes of dissension,
may once more present to the admiration
of the world the spectacle of great and
prosperous community Of truly United
States, protected In their industry and de-
Tended in their rights by the equal laws
and impartial administration of State and
Federal Governments. To this end, at
least, let no efforts of ours be wanting.

.tB- BRo. HEAToN in answering our
question as to whether three or four huE-
dred Know Nothings in that county did
not vote for Ranney, says very emphatic
ally that they did not. He proceeds to
prove it, as he says, for fear we will not
take his word for il. We would much
rather take bis word than the proof he
offers. We cant see that it is any eyi-
dence at all. Because, Ranney receiving
s.only, about SO votes more than the bal.
ance of the ticket would only prove that
is the Know othings voted for him
many of them also voted the entire ticket.
Where did they 60? Not to the Republic
cans, for the two parties joined have q
largo majority in Belmont; and this year
Rsnney has over 500 majority. But
ssnough Of this. Bro. Johnny then pro,
eeeds as follows:
y"He (the editor of the Spirit) asks nj
II their mode of selecting delegates does
not secure fairer expression Of the party
ysxs' ,.. !, :.
so much, but it Is the authority assumed
by the Central Committee to instruc
them, that We think should be considered
a. Objectionable. II is the first tim,
we ever knew Central Committee t
be entrusted with such powers. If tn,
democracy of Monroe, however, are sat
is6ed that their Central Committe,
should speak for them, all right. W.
only place it on record as q curiosity
M this enlightened day of squatter SOY
ereiguty."
= Does Bro. Heaton object ito our dele
gates to Columbus being instructed
Nearly half tho counties in the Stat
have done so. Instructing delegates t
.Etate Conventions is the rule rather thar
the exception. Does he object to tn
delegates to the Barnesyille Convention
being instructed? They were not in
strwcted. but were just as free 20 vote TO
whom they chose. as the delegates from
sny other county.

OBITUARY.

Died, on Sunday morning, January 9Th, $50,
of hemorrhage of the lungs, JAMES F. RAN
OLPH, at the residence of his father, Joel F.
Randolph, Esq, in Woods6el'.
The DECEASED was born in Woods6eld, on the
18th day of August, 1885, and resided here
nearly all his life. Studious beyond most of
his associates, and without the vices which
sometimes lead youth astray, he early acquired
good education, and gave high promise of fu-
ture usefulness. After laborious preparation,
he was admitted to the Bar at the August
Term of the District Court in Monroe County,
1856. No doubt he would have succeeded, for
he lacked neither capacity, industry nor ener-
gy; but he had scarcely engaged in practice
when he was appointed to desk in the Treas
ury Department at Washington City. There
he discharged his duty in the most satisfactory
manner, but his sedentary habits and close
application to books impaired his health so
much that during lastsummer he was COMPEL.
ed to return home. Through the attention of
his physicians and friends, however, he was so
much improved as to return for a short time to
Washington; but his disease had not been ar
rested; and he was soon compelled again to
return home. On Sunday morning no imme-
diate danger was apprehended- hope
was entertained that he would 1--we many
months if not entirely recover; but slight
fit Of coughing brought on the heniorrhage,
and suddenly the melancholy lesson was again
forced upon US, that Gin the midst Of life We
are in DEATH"
The writer. Of this brief sketch knew him
well; he had full opportunity to know his hon.
esty and truth and manly Independence; and
he feels how much kindness, how much sim
cere friendship, has gone out of the world;
how much goodness really dwelt in that heart
which has been SO untimely stilled in death.
This slight tribute is all that he may now pre-
sent at the grave--this and the Offering W hfch
long friendship, warm and unbrokenzought
not TO withhold, and cannot.
"Green be the turf above thee,
Friend of my better days;
None knew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but to praise"

GEORGE B. ATKINSON, departed this life
December 9th, 1859, at his residence in Bos.
ton, Belmont County, Ohio aged 81 years and
months; after an illness Of near six months
which arose from Chronic Bronchitis, but ulti.
mately resulting in paralysis.
He appeared conscious that his end was
nigh and seemingly awaited Gods pleasure
in removing him home He was an honorable
member of the M. L. Church for 10 years, in
which he gave full evidence of living the life
of a devoted Christian. He leaves pleasant

that their loss, is his great gain, for the scrip

But wait by faith the Masters time;

While mercy whispers, am thine.

In view of the growing demand for trained
and competent teachers, we have determined
to establish, in this part of the State a school
wherein young men and women, designing to
enter the profession of teaching, can be thor
oughly qualified for the work. The various
methods of imparting instruction will be thor
oughIy discussed, and the best methods care
fully pointed out.
1t is also our design to make the academic
department of the school inferior to none in
the State. Maps, Charts. Globes, Chemical and
Philosophical Apparatus, &C., &c, shall lend
their aid in the illustration of the various
Sciences and thoroughness, the life and soul
of education shall mark every step of the stu
dents progress.
We have had under consideration various
points at which to locate our school, and have
chosen Summerfeld, because:

the Normal Schools of Lebanon and Hopedale.
