Neighbor CAsKEY seems to have the "Scrutcr
nuticks" because we have not published DOUGLAS
speech at Springfield. lie says in last weeks
Republican
"Why don't you publish Douglas speech, neigh
Dor Democrats have called on us to do so, say
ing you refused"
We might answer the question by saying that
since CAsKEY has nothing to do with editing the
Farmer, it is none of his business what we do or
do not publish but this might be considered i'm
pudent We had intended to publish tho speech,
had 1t prepared to be set in type for some time,
but being short of help we were compelled to join
with our ncighbor in getting up the outside of the
paper for two or three weeks, and during that
time he never said DOUGLAS speech once. At
the end Of this time it become rather old, and the
position of Mr.. DOUGLAS being well understood,
We thought we could publish matter that our rca
ders would prefer. If Democrats ever told Mr.
CAsKEy that we refused to publish it they lied
knowingly and willfully but we doubt the cxis
tance Of any such Democrats. Neighbor, don't

people that the election of u sectional candidate,

party, would lead to the overthrow of the Union.

language of prophesy, that the success of the Re.

The President called for Volunteers to protect
the National Capitol and the Government property.
This call was promptly and patriotically respon-
ded to by many more men than were needed or
asked for. 1t is the duty of every American
citizen to lend helping hand whenever properly
called upon TO sustain and protect the Govern.
ment. Mr.. LINCOLN declared that the protection
Of the Capitol and the government property was
what ne designed, and the gallant men who left
their svocations and the peaceful enjoyment Of
ther homes did so to aid the President in carrying
out his expressed designs. But the abolition por
ton Of the Republican patty are not content with
this. They want a war of subiugation waged
against the South. They want all differences of
opinion and all questions of dispute settled by the
dread arbitramcnt Of the sword, and they de
mand that fire and death shall dcvastate nearly
one-haf of the Confederacy; expecting thereby
to exterminnte slavery. We do not think Mr.
LINCOLN designs granting them this, neither do we
think tine men who volunteered will join any such
unholy crusade. Every one must know that such
q course would sink the Union beyond the hope
ofredemption. Those who advocate such "A course
are disunionists, traitors and villains, and the
hangman's halter is better than they deserve

done when 1t WAS asked for by Kentucky, Virgin

North Carolina, the country would now be quiet
prosperous and happy instead of being scourget
by wars dread alarms and the expenditure of hun
dreds Of millions of dollars. The time for say

Lincoln still keeps on tumbling Demo-
Gratis out of office and placing Republicans in.
OF course, It is not done because thcre is any
party now.
1t is said Governor Dennison has pur-
chased a lot of guns which have neither
touch-holes, locks, stocks or barrels. They
are designed ior the Millersburg Vide-Avakes.
The most extraordinary instance Of pa
ticnce on record in modern times, is that of
an Illinois Judge, who listened silently for
two days, while acouple OF wordy attorneys
contendcd about the construction of an act OF
the Legislature and then ended the contro-
versy by quietly remsrking: "Gentcmcn,
the law is repealed"
The news from Missouri is of the most
! CRAFTY ing character. Gen. Tlarney, Of the
! U. S. Amy, and Gen. Pierce of the State
troops, have entered into an arrangement
which assures the peace Of the Stare, and
guarantees the safety of persons and property
in all its borders This wise composing o
difficulties in a quarter where many were
icarfully apprchensivc of the most serious
troubles, will be gratifying news to tho peo
pie everywhere.

and unanimous support which the Dem

will ever be deemed evidences Of. infdeli-

A. r.. Nelson, who is stumping East Ten

"With the Constitution for his guide

know of no mode by which a loyal
citizen may so well demonstrate his de-
votion to his country as by sustaining
the flag, the Constitution, and the Union
under all circumstances, and under every
(regardless Of party poll
tics) against all assailants, at home and
abroad. The course of Clay and Web
ster toward the administration of Jack
son, in the days of notification, presents
noble and worthy example for all true
patriots. At the very moment when that
fearful crisis was precipitatcd upon the
country, partizan strife between the
Wings and Democrats was quite as bitter
and relentless as now between the Dem
ocrats and Republicans. The gulf which
separated party leaders in those days was
quite as broad and deep as that which
now separates the Democracy from the
Republicans. But the moment an enemy
rose in our midst, plotting the diSmem
berment of our Union and the'destruction
Of the government, the voice OF partizan
strife was flushed in patriotic silence
One of the brightest chapters in the his
tory of our country, will record the fact
that during this eventful period the great
leaders of the opposition, sinking the par
tizan in the patriot, rushed to the sup
port of the government, and became its
ablest and bravest defenders against all
assailants until the conspiracy was crush
ed and abandoned, when they resumed
their former position as party leaders up
on political issues.
These acts of patriotic devotion have
never been deemed evidences Of infdelity
or political treachery, on the part of Clay
and Webster; to the principles and or
gsnizations of the old Whig party. MOI
