Abiding to the Democratic meeting in
this city a few evenings since, he said, ,hc
regretted the false position in which thr
intense party feelings Of Judge Thurman
had placed him. He referred TO Judge
Thurman's assertion that IL the status OF
the slaves were restored peace could be
attained. II cannot be dono. A dozen
Fugitive Slave Laws might be restored
or enacted but there would be no peace.
Even after the election Of Abraham Lin
coin there was a Fugitive Slave Law in
existence, and il vas enforced in this
very city, and iq other places. But yet
the rebellion broke out and increased In
extent fhey cared nothing about the
Fugitive Slave Law, or any such enact.
mcnts,
The fact ust be recognized that this
war cannot be closed unless the evil Of
political slavery eradicat,d. 1t must
be erodicutcd or there will be no more
wars. 1t is absurd. would be wicked.
ness to patch up any peace that does not
remove the cause of the calamities of the
war. He would frankly confess that he
h d been relletan to admit this fLsi.=-
For two. years he had pondcred the sub
ject, and had at last been reluctantly
Convinced that slavery cannot exist in
one section Of the country, and freedom
in the other. But he was convinced OF
Il. The Two are Incompatible, aud one
or the other must be annihilate1 before
there could be any lasting peace. A.
Othello said OF Desdcmonu,
+" She mu.t die else she'll bctray more men. -
SO with slavery, else it will bring more
wars. (Grcat and repeated upplousc.)

Christ Is King.


1t is not enough that one living pnder
a Government should be simply n good
citizen in that he pursues the avocations
of life industriously and quietly, He
owes allegiance TO the peculiar form of
Government under which he lives II
his ruler be Emperor, King or President,
he cannot discharge his whole duty as a
subject unless he recognizes him in his
proper Office and titles. Consequently,
all nations exercise the prerogetiye OF re-
qpiring fealiy to their soyert ign as the
condition of citizenship, The style and
name of the sovereign may be arbitrary,
yet as the head Of all authority he must
be confessed and obeyed, Such is the
nature Of the Divine claim ppon all men
to profess Christ. 70 be good. moral,
even religious, in the vague sense in
which the term is oiten psed, is not sufIi-
cient to meet the law Of the spiritual lite
where the Biole is possessed. God gov
erns the world by his Son. He made it,
redeemed it, and has declared he will
Judge it by JesHs Christ, Ghristis King.
lie is Soyereign of Souls--ruler supreme
10 the moral world. All good lows from
and through Him. Consequently, il
seems but just that he should be distinct
ly professed as the Author and Dispenser
Of il, and not be overlooked. as though
God could be worshipped and his bless
ings appreciated without faith in Christ.

Record Of & co. 4. Puxl.

Els. TImEs:-Since Geo. L. Pugh has
been nominated for Lieutenant Governor
Of Ohio, and Is willing tp accept posi-
ton Of profit, honor and TRUST, ! wish to
cal the attention Of the voters Of Ohio,
TO a certain declaration made by Mr..
Pugh, in public in times of peace. The
day before the last Presidential election
there was great strife In political cir:
cles in Dayton, Ohio, The Reppb icans
had small demonstration on that dBy
and in the evening (previous to the cleo
lion,) the Democracy had Pugh brought
PIP from Cincinnati to make Il speech in
the Democratic rUnche, temporary
building on the corner Of Third and jeff
erson Streets,
At the usual hour, Mr. Pugh took the
stund; and after his usual manner ofopen-
lug, and after bsrating Mr.. Lincoln and
his class, he finished the sentence by
tuuntingly and boustiDgly saying, that III
the people elect Abraham Lincoln TO-
morrow, as expect they will, he shall be
the last President they will eyer elect in
the United States.p To this some cheer
ed and some hissed but certainly no
man could (when they saw the vlndictive
sty lie in which the declaration was made)
fail to be surprised Fhen the time, place
and crcumslances are tuken into .consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Pugh then certainly con.
templatcd the destruction of the our
gregtigoyernmenf. IN relating this cir
cumstance to James II. BuggOtt ex Pro-
bate Judge Of Montgomery County, the
following January, after secession had
commenced, Mr.. Baggott replied;
ayes aud by God, that night utter the
speech was over, lot more of us had a
little NEE ting, and we passed resolution
that If Lincoln was elected we were GO
ing 10 use our best erde arprs 10 tear dOcr
The Government"
"You mean tho Republican party"
said |.
NO" said he with an oath, y meant
the Government"
afterwards questioned some who !
supposed were in that conclaye, but as
they were so cautious | could not learn
anything, save that Vallandigham wos
not there as he had followed Douglas of
to Hamilton, Lut from the style of
Pugh's declaration ! have no doubt that
the resolution yos passed, Ifit was not,
Mr.. Baggott told simply what was moi
true about Ppgh, himself and the balance
Of them, which is not very likely. But il
Mr. Pugh denies this he eau have the
