JeGerson ON the Duty Reslsting

Jefferson wrote to Governor Giles, of Vir-
gnin, celebrated letter, in which he said.
81 see as you do, and with the deepest af
Fiction, the rapid strides with which the Fed
eral branch OF our Government is advancing
toward the usurpation OF all the rights reserv.
ed to the States, and the consolidation in it
self of powers, foreign and domestic, and
that, too, by constructions which, if legitimate
leave no limits, to their power. Take together
the decisions of the Federal Courts, the doc
trines Of the President, aud the misconstruc-
tions OF the constitutional compact, acted on
by the Legislature of the Federal branch, and
It is but too evident that the three ruling
branches Of that department are in combina,
ton to strip their colleagues-the State au-
thorities--of the power reserved by them, and
to exercise themselves all functions, foreign
and domestic. Are we, then, to stand
to our arms2 No. that must be the last re.
source, not to be thought Of until much larger
and greater suiierngs. Separate from
our companions only when the alternatives
left are the dissolution ofour Union with theu
or submission to Government without mi.

Rz-Our Abolition friends will learn
some time that the only safety and saliva
ton of the country lies in the unvaying
adherence Of the people to the constitutions
al landmarks Of the Democracy, and the
stern resistance to the arbitrary encroach-
ments Of the Executive upon the rights of
the citizens. Like the boys and the frogs
in the fable, it may be sport for them now,
when this tyranny is imposed only on
Democrats, but let them once break down
the Constitution, and they know not how
soon they themselves may be the victims
This was declared in almost the identical
words 10y Senator TnuMBuLt, one Of their

IS no safety for u.s. no safety Cor you and

Most seusibly does the Troy Press say
that amid the clamor for the annihilation
of party organi4ations-the shameless
misrepresentation of its views and aims,
and the deser,ion from its ranks of the
misguided and mercenary, the Democratic
party stands firm. Against all the dis
heartening influences of an unequal contest
against the veual tide Of which immense
patronage and a ilagrant abuse of power
had set against it--against the millions Of
money that contractors and their friends
were able to use-the Dem ocracy cast a
vote fog its principles and candidates that
must command the admiration of its bit
terest foes. The grand old partyis not to
be broken, either in spirit or in strength,
by temporary defeat. 1t may be defeat

LINCOLN. II says;
"The snow storm that suddenly inirudes

to freedom by the Presidents Proclamation

Yes, the "hundreds Of thousands of
ex-slaves, introduced into freedom by the
Presidents Proclamation" are in a desti-
tute and starving condition a poor ig-
norant class, they have been forced from
comfortable homes and plenty, by aboli-
ton promises Of freedom, and arc now
among us, the objects Of pity, and de-
pending almost entirely upon charity to
keep them from actual starvation. When
on the cold plantation" they never knew
what it was to want for food or clothing
They were free from all care and anxiety,
and their nece, sary wants were always
supplied. But ABRAHAM LINCOLN has
vouchsaed to them a freedom they are
incapable of approaching or enjoying, and
the "ireedmcn" Of the Proclamation are
pensioners on the charity of the people.
From our very heart of hearts, we pity
the p oor deceived negroes, that have been
forced or stolen from comfortable homes
and brought North to suffer and die from
neglact and starvation. Thus we have
developed some of the beauties of Aboli-
tionism. 1t has used the poor negro as a
hobby to ride into political power, and
left him among MS an object of pity and
hatred. to exc out miserable existence.
Such is the freedom to which the negro
has been lured 10y the deceptions Of their
proteSsed friends the Abolitionists. While
we pity the unfortunate negro, we cannot
but denounce the wicked men, who, for
political end, deceived and seduced him
from comfortable home, and brought
him to such misery and suffering. There
is in store for them terrible rctribution.

that the Union can be restored by re-

How do they know that ? Have they
ever tried it, or would they consent to its
restoration simply ON condition of allow
ing each State and territory to regulate its
own domestic affairs in its own way,
without meddling from any other State :?
They know that the Union could have
been preserved on such terms and civil
war sverted, and they refused TO agree to
them. The Administration has never Of

WHAT Is A MOB7

A mob is a crowd of disorderly
people, in whose neighborhood we
have no desire to live. We are
painfully sorry to say that in the
village of Eaton, Preble county,
Ohio, we have had some uncalled
for experience in the unchristlan,
inhuman and cowardly threats Of
being mobGed. Once and again
the front Of our house has been Wis.
tied by a mob. We have cen
threatened with murder, and our
little property has been threatened
with destruction. We have been
burnt in efigy; we have been in
suited day after day in the open
streets. These are plain facts,
which can never be truthfully gain.
sayed. They may be laughed at,
or even denied; no doubt they will
be it so; we care not. Truth is

found liar. We came to America
to be useful, kind, honest, and to
CT conduct ourselves toward all par.
ties in the spirit of honor, honesty,
and during the time we have resi-
ded in Eaton, we have "injured no
one-defrauAed no one" We have
paid our way, in shop and store.
Are these things not true? Con-
tradict them who can. Why, then,
should We be marked out as victims
for the mob? True, we have no
reason or cause tothank the "Eaton

some Of our neighbors, for our pre-
servation. No; but we have cause

and have our being for "He who
sour God, is the God ofsalvation."
What then is the cause of our
nightly suffering and waking hours
at the time when nature implores
us to let her sleep? The cause is self
evident-we are Democrats, and
think, speak, write, and act for our
selves, These are facts which we
can neither alter nor change. We
came from a free and glorious coun,
try, where all are at perfect liberty
to write and speak what they be-
lieve to be the truth, whether that
truth condemns the acts of the Go,
verl ment or Of any other man in
office. But in America we are not
allowed to do so: and when ourpubI
lished words do not please the men
in Office and their friends, Or their
newspaper, an effort is at once made
to crush us; parties are set againet
US, and language used In the Abo-
lition paper, and in private con-
~versation, to indame the minds of
the people against us, that they may
rouse, rise and STAY US, or destroy
the office from which we speak our
honest sentiments. The whole of
this week, though sick and in trou-
BILE, we have been kept in a state of
dread, by threats from the stores,
and from the street corners. This
is a state of things which we do
not mean much longer to endure.

"A PICTURE.

The Editor of the Eaton Demo-
cratic Press begs to apologize to
his readers for placing before them
the picture of a small follow called
the Editor of the Eaton Register.
This oticlous, meddling, slandering
and lying hypocrite has of late exl
celled bis former self, in insulting
his respectable neighbors, and misl
representing. the town in which
he resides. For years he has
been a hated pestto Eaton, so much
80, that many Of his most respectal
BILE readers, have once and again
earnestly wished that they had a
competent editor, and q properly
conducted newspaper, representing
their own political principles. The
vulgar trash which this accuser and
slanderer of his ncighbors palms
upon his readers week after week,
is far more than enough to brand
him as a worthless fellow. The crea.
ture must have been trained in q
school for scandal. So far Us we are
personally concerned, and lied upl
on by him, we reply to lin by pro,
nouncing him an unmitigated liar.
We feel degraded by having to MOI
tice the low and contemptiblc scoun
drel. but as a stranger of whom he
knows nothing, toiling right and
day among strangers, for what we
honestly believe to be righteous
and just principles, we owe it to
those of our readers who do not
know us personally to lay the lying
villain bare before them. So much
for our unprinciplcd calumniator
he is a "buSybody in other mems
matters" and must be taught to
mind his own business. Let the
Morris dancer beware how he lies
upon us, or upon any of our neigh
bors. There are far better men,
vendors Of provisions and drink in
this town, than ever the Editor of
the "Register" was, or is likely to
become. The sore is, that while
our subscription list continues to
increase, the "Register" list con-
tinues to decrease: yes, and it will
continue to grow "smaller by de.
grees, and beautifully less"
