To the Inhabitants Of Camden.

~ NbO tIHIoLIAutbhO W SSuHNS'n
The Editor of the Eaton "Demo-
cratic Press bcgs very respectful
ly to inform his Camden friends,
and the inhabitants of that district,
in general, that he will deliver a
lecture on the present state of our
country, on Friday evening, at SIX
o'clock, in any place they may fix
upon in Camden. Let all attend.
Uncle Williams lectures delivered
in various parts of Preble, within
the last three months, have been
eminently successful.
When men in old Preble are
publishing pamphlets and circula-
ting them in the army, to urge our
soldiers to fight for nc other pur-
pose than that of the abolition of
slavery by fire, sword, desolation
and death to the whites, it is high
time that the northern Democrats
should demand that the wal should
be confined to its original aim
namely, TO restore the Union, and
defend constitutional law, ORDER,
and State rights. All we desire is
that the farmers, laborers and
small tradesmer. of Ohio, should
read our "p emocratic Press" week
Iy, an". judge for themselves, as to
wtno their real friends are. We
wish to save the farming interest
from being taxed to IFS ruin, to
keep up the price Of wheat, corn
and pork, and the wages Of the
laborcr-mark that. But our Re-
publican Abolition friends are try
ing to ruin the country by creating
a burden Of taxation, to free the
slave and bring ruin upon the
white man. Let the civilized world
Judge which is the true friend Of
society. Those who read the pa
pers which advocate taxes, wal
and bloodshed to free the blacks,
are, in our opinion, the foes Of
God and man, and they will soon
be called to suffer as such.
The Democratic press. (Eaton, Preble County, Ohio) 1860-1865, 1861-12-26

and glorious principles Of Ameri-
con Democracy, when but few
journalists dared to enunciate them.
With such. n paper as our own,
published in Preble County, we
cannot see why any Democrat who
takes but one weekly paper, should
goeout of his own county to get q
paper, whileshis own county paper,
containing as it docs, the Gin
einnati. and other weekly markets,
is not subscribed for by him.
Friends, let us have fair play, and
we will supply you with a first
class paper, forcib!y written and
carefully got up.

.TFrom the Crisis.

The people of Kentucky are by
thousands joining the Conteder-
ates, and rendering the progress of
our army each day more embarrass-
ing, This is said to be owing to
the movement at Washington to
make this an abolition war. The
same thing is greatly disturbing
the harmony and cooling the ar
dor and spirits of our soldiers. In
the midst of this embarrassment,
Congress threatens to adjourn for
two weeks, and go home to spend
the holidays! Better stay and
take care of this war, which is
spreading North, East and South
in fearful proportions. Stay and
make some arrangements to aid
the Secretary Of the Treasury with
money to keep up our army. You
would listen to neither reason, COM
mon sense nor that ordinary hon
esty which all men in high places
should at least possess, if in ever
so small a degree.
1t is no time to dodge or baulk-
no time to shrink from response,
biIities you have wilfnlIy brought
upon yourselves ; no time now to
stop and pray, especially for holi'
day prayers, when the vessel is
sinking-keep every bucket and
ladle busy and the pumps well
manned.
This is our advice and it is about
time you were taking it. You
must confess that in following YOU
own Yankee notions" you have
proceeded from bad to worse, ant
that the "Chicago Platform"-tht
real political Pandora's Box of oul
misfortune is "played out" and al
entirely new one called for, from
the foIlies Of the past and the ext
gencies of the future.

The Past Reviewed.

READER,-We are very near the
end of another years life journey!
The year 1861 will close upon us,
before we can address you again.
How solemn the thought! How
grave and momentous the refec-
tons and emotions, to which the
transactions and events of the dy-
ing year have given rise in on"
spirit, as we havethought, reasoned,
and cogitated.
70 us, the declining year has
been the most fruitful in materials
for history, and in diversified, null
hilarious, and eventful facts, of any
one year we have lived upon earth.
Though we have been more than
six months in America, we have
not been more than twelve months
inthe great and ever growing State
of Ohio. As we are human, and
instructed in the knowledge Of
some useful arts and sciences, we
cannot but feel that we are a
stranger among strangers, and live,
for the first time in our history, in
a land Of war, plunder, and fearful
insubordination. a state Of society
and Of things for which we did not
look; neither did we expect it,
when we, in the year 1860, made
choice Of the United States of
America, before all other countries
upon earth, as the land to be adopt
ed by us, rs oar last earthly home.
But we have now received the
fullest and most convincing conir-
nation of the inspired fact, namely
that "thc way Of man is not in
himself" Had we known before
hand, that the Unitel States would
have become, in the year 1861, the
theatre of so much war, bloodshed,
plundcr, murder, and death, and
the grave of so many brave Saxons,
and a land of new and, in our
opinion, unnecessary burdens Of
taxation, we should never have
crossed the great aud dangerous
Atlantic to settle in America. Still,
we do not for one moment doubt,
that our way has been ordered by
the" Great Supreme. and therefore,
we are satisfied, that we are, like
G '2Ua's amy, in oar riacc.
