The Duty OF Loyal Persons to

One Of the most portentious signs Of
the times is that men, who few years
ago inscribed upon thelr banners and
upon the National flags they displayed,

now justify and applaud the arbitrary
suppression of free speech, the unconsti-
tutioual muzzling of the press, and the
arbitrary seizure, Imprisonment and ex-
lie Of free men, guilty ofno crime against
the Constitution or laws Of the country,

convictions as to certain measures of

counseled resistance; secret and open,

While Democrats have a perfect right
to wear those emblems, do wish that
our friends would not do so, but adhere
to the old Jackson emblem. But the
Abolition party is to blame for the whole
Of it. Never did any Democrat wear
such emblems until the Abolition press
applied the name "Butteruut" and "Cop.
perhead" to the Democratic party, its
ticket and meetings; and such emblems
are worn only to designate membership
in the Democratic party; but now the,
Abolitionists are endeavoring to make
people believe that those emblems. are
worn by Democrats to show a sympathy
with the rebellion. They well know
when they make such charges that thew
are false. But because no good can re.
suit from wearing them, l hope our
friends will avoid doing so. But il

The Main Objection 10 vaIlan.
-ligllnm.

The objection. that is now specially
urged to Vallandigham by editors who
put themselves forward as leaders in the
Republican party is, that he wants
cessation Of hostilties-that he thinks
enough blood has been spilled,-and
that efforts. by negotiation and other
peaceful agencies should be made to re.
store the Union. This desire on the
part Of Vallandigham is held up as OIL
enormous crimeH What did President
Lincoln say in his Inaugural addressH-:
This-iS what he said:
Suppose you go to WOr, you cannot
fight al,cavs, and when, after much loss
on both sides, and no gain on either,
you cease fighting. The old identical
questions as to terms oftntercourse are
again upon you"
II this statement Is true, and no one
but knave or fool will deny it, then
no matter how much longer the War
shall be continued, the old identical
questions as to terms Of intercourse are
again upon [us you"
To view of this fact, the sooner we can
get dispassionate consideration of the
|."questions as to terms Of intercourse
the better for humanity, the better for
tbs nation and the. better for the Gov.
I'ernment. The President did not think
and Vallandigham does not think, that
the "qdeStioiaas toterms of intercourse
could or would be considered until there
was cessation Of fighting. Evidently
theTe.is no disagreement 10 this particu

United States to devide' the United,
States intV four dirtinct nationalities: I,
therefore, agree to pay one hundred.
dollars reward to any person who will.
prove the above statement to be true.
And, whereas, the aforesaid Clark

A Base FnlsehOOd Refnted.


In last weeks Advocate there appear.
ed an editorial article headed "Mob
Law on Stone Creek" which abounds
in falsehood and exaggeration, aud which
l desire to refute. The facts are as fol.
lows:
Some time ago-on certain Sabbath
the pastor of the Ev. Luth. Church,
Laughson) on Stone Creek, near Phil.
ipsburg, made his farewell address to the
congregation but this " Farewell Adj
dress" was nothing but political speech,
and when the meeting was over it was
said by most of the members that there.
after there should be no political ser.
mons preached in that meeting house !;
for the simple reason that that was not
the purpose for which it was erected. -
That was settled.
Now, on Sabbath, Aug. 2, last, there
came q Mr.. Stelling, of New. Philadel.
phia, under the pretence of delivering o
funeral sermon over the remains of Geo.
Hout, one Of the "fallen brave" Well,
oil right. Although Mr.. Stelling was
known to be a rampant, fanatical Abo.
litionist, there was nothing said against.
this, because no one ever suspected that
he would use the pulpit for an Abolition
harangue over q dead soldier. Mr..
Stelling is admired and appreciated as
preacher Of the gospel, but not as DO,
litical stumper. He did not get half
through with his sermon, before he com.
penced his Abolitionism, and declared
that freedom and slavery could not ex.
list together" and had good deal to
say about peacemakers, &C., &c. If
Mr.. Stelling, "or any other man," can
call such an one funeral sermon" or
preaching the gospel, we are very sorry
tnaS ne are SO far behind the times, anu
are ignorant of the NEW gospel. If that
was preaching the gospel, then the Tus.
carawas Advocate is certainly q gerry
religious paper.
1t was after the sermon was over that
one Of the trustees Of the meeting house
told him (Stelling) that if he wanted to
make public speeches or hold political
meetings be should 60 out of doors, and
that he had no right to make political
speeches in that meeting hoDse, because
it was not built for such purposes. That
was all. "Nobody'S hurt" and nobody
was in danger, us no harm was intended.
Now the Advocate says they ought to
be arrested What for? Because we
do not willingly and cheerfully permit
our pulpit to be desecrated,
V. Porter Wilson and his party call
every man "traitor' who happens to
differ With them politically.

The St. Louis Republican of the 7th,
states that the special election in the
Third Congressional District of that
State, for member Of Congress to gil
the vacancy occasioned by the death Of
Noell, has resulted in the election Of
John G. Scott. Mr., Scott is conser.
vative man, and will cooperate with the
Democratic side of the House. The
Republican, in noticing his election,
says:
In Madison county, the vote was as
follows; Scott, 3l5; Lindsay, l44; Bo.
gy, 6.
Washington county--Sco,ts msjori.
ty over Lindsay. 23S.
We hear that at all military stations
they took the field for Lindsay, and
fought much better for him at the polls
than they would have done under him
against an armed enemy. They took
possession, in some instances, ofthe polls
and prevented loyal citizens from voting,
and voted themselves, though refusing
to take the oath, which would have
made them guilty Of perjury. Scott and
Cape Girardeau counties, under this in.
auence, piled up majority for Lindsay
Of four hundred and fifty or Eve hundred
votes. Ironton, Arcadia, and there.
bouts, in iron county, gave Lindsay
some two hundred and seventy majority,
because even hospital subjects were turn.
ed out to vote for him, while Scott's
friends were deferred from voting. Bu,
the country will neutralize or greatly re.
duce this majority.

THE SHOWS AND SEAS OF MARS Mars
has lately presented a favorable opportuni.
ty for the examination ofitS surface. The
constitution Of this planet more nearly
approaches that Of the earth than any
other in the system. Snow can be detect.
ed at both poles, the white circle incrras-
ing in winter and decreasing in summer.
1t has been found that the centre OF this
region Uf snow does not coincide exactly
with the poles Of the planet. And in this
respect it is like the earth, whose greatest
cold is not exactly at the pole. u green
iSh belt with deep bays and inlels near
the equator, which is suspected to be u
sea. has recently been detected. The ter
ni1atiuI II the snowy region is very ab-
runt, giving the idea of lofty cliff. A
reddish island in the above sea has also
been detected. The probability of Mars
bring inhabited is greater than that Of
any other planet. Its density is very near
that Of the earth. The heat and light Of
the sun would only be halfof that enjoyed
on our globe; but then this may be com
pcn>atrd by an atmosphere which may
form warmer wrapping than ours and by
more sensitive eye. A great part Of the
surface Of the globe is covered with snow
for half Of the year; the people in Mars
would not be worse off than we are in
Canada. and life is tolerabIe here. People
emiSrating from this planet to Mars would
inI that they were only half as heavy as
they are here, which SOM would not re-
gard as di>advantagc.-Leitch
