Movements for Peace,

A petition similar to the following is
in circulation in many of the northern
State and in several counties in Ohio:
Petition ofthe Friends Of Peace to tile
Congress- Of the United States:
"We, the undersigned citizens and quail
fed voters of-Township,
county, Ohio, believing that war is de-
structive Of the best interests of the coun-
try, involving us at the present time in a
conflict with our kindred and sister States,
and that it will finally result in the des-
solution of our Union; deploring, as we
do, such dire calamity, and fully con-
fiding in the opinion that our presen.
troubles are susceptible of Il peaceful
solution; trusting, therefore, to the justice
of our cause and purity of our motives,
with firm reliance upon the Supreme
Being for ultimate success, do humbly
and heseechingly implore your Honora-
BILE Body to refrain from a DEoLAR ALTON
OF WAR, and in your wisdom devise a
suitable plan for the early assembling of
a National Convention, including the
seeding States, respectfully inviting tho
cooperation Of all, whose duty shall be
to provide for peaceful and final arbitra-
ment of our national difliculties-all of
which we respectfully pray"
1t is emnently proper that the friends
of peace should now be active and make
determined effort in favor of settle
ment of our national difficulties and the
restoration of the happiness and prosper
ity which existed previous to the COM
mencement of hostilities. The only way
we can ever expect to preserve the Union
and the Constitution and restore tram
qullty is by the adoption of some com
promise which will be honorable and Just
to both sections. President Lincoln fully
understood this when he penned his Inaug-
ural address, wherein he gave utterance
to the following: ".Suppose you go to.
aoar, you cannot tight ai,0oys and achen af-
ter much loss on both sides, and no gain
on either, you cease fighting, the identical
question:, as TO TERMS OF INTERCOURSE
ARE AGAIN UPON YOU" There is much
good sense in this paragraph and the sug-
gestions should be needed by his political
followers. Party lines and party plat
forms must vanish like chaff before the
wind, in order to settls this deplorable
controversy; and thosee who stand in the
way of fair terms, and for the sake of
political consistency refuse to lend their
inAuence.t to the settlement, will he regard.

Notwithstanding the sacred privileges
here secured to every citizen, it has not
been an uncommon occurrence Of late, to
hear of threats of violence and mob law
being made against as good and loyal cit
izens as the sun ever shone upon, merely
because they advocated peace, compromise
and conciliation, rather than the terrible
alternative of war and desolation.
In all charity we may suppose that
those valient stay-at home heroes, who
have talked about mobbing people for
opinions sake, really have no proper
idea as to what constitutes q freeman's
right, nevertheless they are the same
stripe ofpoliticians who, few years ago
clamored so Justify for Fremont, free
soil and FREE SPEECH" Others of
them know better-have a somewhat
clearer notion of the rights and privileges
of an American citizen under the Consti-
tuition but as their boasted professions Of
loyalty to that sacred instrument are a
sham, they scruple not at their base at

Presidents Message.

We publish LrNcoLN's message in full, in this
weeks paper. The docum ent contains five points;
lst the country is in trouble and somebody is
likely to be hurt;
2nd, he wants an army of four hundred thou
sand men in addition to the two hundred thousand
already in the field;
3rd, he wants four hundred millions of dollars
in money;
dth, that he will carry ont the Chicago platform
!hh that he will make no compromise.
The President has considerable to say about
the common soldiers and common sailors, He
doubtless, considers such men as ScuENcK, BANKS
and FIERCE as ornamental or uncommon soldiers
The message, considered by and large, is a very
weak State paper there Is no hickory In It.

the risk soldier will run to obtain wa

Administrative Ability

The Cincinnati Commercial says: "We
want more administrative ability in the

You should have thought of that at the
last election, when you were telling peo-

1t was we'll kdown that Lincoln had no
administrative capacity. and no one knew
it any better than the editor Of the
Commercial. And still it advised the
people to elect the rail-splitter.-States-

To Stop BLEEDING Asa Kemper,
Ross county, Ohio. writes to the Amer
lean Agriculturist that bleeding from a
wound on man or beast may be stopped
by mixture of wheat -four and common
salt, in equal parts, bound on with a
cloth. If the bleeding be profuse, use a
large quantity, say from one to three
pints. 1t may be left for hours or even
days, if necessary. In this manner he
saved the life of horse which was bleed
ding from wounded artery; the bleeding
ceased in five minutes after the applica-
ton. 1t was left on three days, when it
worked loose, was easily removed, and
the wound soon healed.

miserable life and worthless being, we,
the Obcrlin Military Company give you
this timely warning. If you do not come
out for the Union we will hang you; we
are bound to rid the country Of all Seces-
sionists. We have done good work SO
far. One man, Warren by name, perhaps
you have heard of him. We got every
r thing ready to hang him and were pro-
ceeding to do it, when he came out for
the Union and gave one hundred dollars
to carry on the war. And, we have also
made two others do the same.
We have your case and another one
under consideration, and will undoubted
ly hang you, unless you come out for the
Government. Lincoln and the Union.
If you want to save yorr worthless neck
give us to understand that you are for
Lincoln AMI the Union. This is no idle
threat but timely warning If you do
not believe we'll put, it into execution
Enquire about what we did to old War
