FREEDoM OF sPEECH.

The Administration or Abolticn
faction seem to claim that they
have the right to U.S. free
Of speech. Wherever they
have they power they,deny IL to
Democrats; they deny it because
truth is mighty and will prevail,
and they know their designs can
not be carried out If the people
hear the Democratic side of the
argument. Henc9 when Mr.. Val.
landigham was advertised TO lec'
tnre in Baltimore, the Administra-
ton papers contained the following
advertisement. i ] NJ
"Union men of Baltimore! will
yon-permit that rebel, Vallandig,
ham, to desecrate our city by.leci
turing on any snhject! No! No!
These manifestations of violence
prevented Mr.. Vallandigham from
leeturing inathe Monumental City.
Was there ever anything meaner
or more proScriptive than the tone
of the Administration organs.

In Eaton, on the 2lst instant, of Lung
Feve+, RnBEccA II. MARTIN, telict Of Judge
Robert Martin, aged s. years, 8 months, and
26 days. 'f"
We record this week the death of Mrs. Re
becce Martin, relict'o Judge Martin of this
town. We knew and esteemed her in life,
we saw her in the calm rspose of death, and
as We gazed on her placid features We
praised the dead that are already dead,
more than the living thst are yet alive
The late Mrs. Martin was born in Maryland,
and emigrated to Ohio with her fathers
family in 1902. In 1872 she became the
wife Of Judge Robert Martin, a man OF ster-
hing integrity, aud upblsmished reputation,
who 6lled the Office Of Circuit Judge for
twelve years with honor 10 himself and sat
isfaetion to all parties. Hia sudden death
in 1856 left her a mourning widow, but she
found consolation in the ekerciiss Of that .
ligion of which she was Q, sincere and con-
sistent professor. For more than fifty years
the deceased was. an honored member of the
NJ. Z. Church, walking humbly before God,-
and in peace With oil her neighbors. Dur
ing her oprotraeted and painful illness she
exhibited tAe graces Of Christian resigna-
tan in hor Affections, and n firm and un-
w%ayering confidence in the God of her sal
vatioh, all ale peacefully fell asleep in Js-
sus, looking for a bright, awakening in his
likeness. She has loft three children and o
large circle of friends to mourn tho loss Of
an affectionste Christian mother and friend.
We ~synpa,hize with the bsreaved family in
ttheirlafaietion y and Dom meuA them to the
God of all consolation for comfort. May
they emulate her bright example, and be-
rlcome followers Of them who. through faith
and patience inherit the promises"
Mother, thou art gone before ~,
La, To the land Of Heavenly rest;
And thy weary t%oiliworn spirit,
Rests in peace on Jesus breast.
I'VE miss tier form dcSr mother,
! Our home is d~esolate;
Thy words Of love and te nder care
,. 4p%Phesrts san Re'cr forget.
Thy love is all that's left us now,
:. Thy bright example given,
To show our trembling feet the way
i. To God right hand in Heaven.
Mother, fAreweifga long farewell,
Thy Btricken children say,
Till We shall meet to part no moro,
In realms Of endless day. E.F.
