why we would have Peace.

War is the great curse Of nations 1t ex-
hausts their physical, financial and CONNER
cial resources. II ia great moral vitiator Of
communities; it eXcites the worst and most
barbarous passions and fosters the most vo-
lent and lasting antipathies, 1t withdraws
the industrial population from their custom
AIRY pursuits, and turns peaceful producers in
to destructive consumers, who instead of con
tributng To the national wealth serve only to
exhaust it. 1t interrupts aud destroys trade,
and lays waste towns, villages, and public and
private works, which centuries may be unable
to restore. ltis the great foe OF civilization,
the sure friend and plea of tyrants ltis sub
versive Of free institutions; 1t is creative of
absolutism, and the worst scourge that can at-
fict people whose aspiration is for liberty.
We are now in the midst of the terrors of one
OF the most colossal wars that ever carried
desolation over the face of the earth and its
bghting influence may be traced far and
wide, from Pennsylvania to the Gulf OF MeXi-
co, and the Atlantic coast to the distant wastes
of Arkansas and Missouri. And still the
dreadful carnage dyes the land with blood,
and the great army of the dead-more than
a hundred thousand strong-who lie in pre-
mature graves, have their ghastly numbers
swelled by fresh victims of the strife. HUI
manity appeals to Heaven for relief, the wall
ofwidows and the cry of orphans Join in a
wild refrain, and mantle of mourning drapes
the land But still the crash Of arms and the
cannon's roar is heard and wondering world
looks on aghast How long can all this lastl
Suicide and lratricide must have a limit to
their reign, and now is the time for deliver
anee. Let the peoples voice be heard before

Crlttenden for Peace.

We are told that the venerable JoHH j.
CRITrENDEN, only "A few days prior to his
death, declared his purpose of urging upon
the President the proclamation of an am
nesty. 1t seems to have been, universally,
the conviction of all good men in the coun-
try, when the late Federal victories were
achieved, that the time had come when an
effort should be made by the Administra-
ton at Washington to adjust the issues OF
this war without additional bloodshed.
We believe that the opportunity was, and
now is, more auspicious than any that
will soon be presented again. The war at
it shall progress will become more and
more desperate, and the possibility Of an
amioable settlement will be proportionately
lessened. The measures Of Congress and
of the Administration as they now stand
before the country leave no opening,for ad
justment. Propositions for an honorabl,
peace, presented, It's true, in an infoma
manner, have already been rejected by til,
Cabinet, showing very clearly that th'
Administration is opposed to peace excep
upon a basis which will require war o

The Great Battle.

Another field Of blood marks the prog
ress Of this most deplorable war A
new grave yard has been made for the
thousands slain in battle. The hospitals
are crowded again with the wounded and
the dying. This sad intelligence, borne
throughout the country, has brought tears
Of grief to unnumbered eyes that had
anxiously anticipated the conflict, though
hopeful that its result would bring to
them no sorrow. The shadows have
reached our own vicinity, and the voice
of mourning is heard from many a house
hold in Montgomery county.
This county was brayely represented in
the battle, and many Of our friends and
relatives and acquaintances have fallen,
either by death or wounds.
Rosecrans had splendid army. The
material consisted Of the very best OF
Western men. But they have been driven
back before the terrible onset of the foe
The engagement was most hotly contested
by the combatants They have now bu
to prepare Tor another field of blood-fol
such is the history of this war.

A a.ConsniracY.,, >,

The Aboitionist pretend to have dis
covered conspiracy between the "Cop-
perheads" of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky,
by which to secure the election of VAL
LANDlGHAM Oh say they, there is not
a bit of doubt about it A great army
OF voters is being brought into this State
from Kentucky and Indiana to delraud the
ballot-box, for whoseipurity they have sa-
cred regard Such stuff as this sounds
very mucn like the proclamation of the
notorious hero of Fredericksburg which
he made to the good people of Ken
lucky just few days prior to their recent
State election. The Louisville Journal
and Mr. Burnside were exceedingly fear
ful that the ballot box would not be kept
as sacred as it should be, and so they pro-
claimed the lie that the Democrats of Ken.
lucky were to be aided in the election Of
WlcKLWFE by an immense delegation
from the rebel army. DO our Abolition
friends wanta ballot-box military procla'
nation in Ohio, under which our Consti
tuition and laws shall be outraged as wert
those of Kentucky? This lie which they
publish indicates it,

Take N Position.

The peculiar character Of these times
makes it very important that every citizen
should take some positive position as to
the great questions now agitating the
country. In former days, when peace pre-
vailed and political contests were waged
between the Wing and Democratic parties,
and when the issues involved simply the
existence Of National Bank a system of
internal improvements, tariff and re-
venue, and other minor subjects Of inter-
nal Government policy, the necessity for
the universal exercise of the elective pyi-
vilege was not so urgent, for those ques-
tons, however important, did not involve
the very liberties and institutions Of the
country, aud the success of either one Of
the two national parties did not seriously
imperil them But the election of ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN to the Presidency, and the
consequent civil war now upon us, have
thrust before the people series OF ques-
tions upon which depend all the rights we
have inherited from our fathers. We are
now called upon to determine whether or
not the privilege of the writ of haJeas COR
pus, the right to trial by jury, the security
of persons and property, the freedom OF
speech and of the press, the domestic SOW
eriegnty of the respective States, and, in
deed, the very system Of Government
under which for more than eighty years we
have lived, shall be preserved and trans
mitted to our posterity, The history OF
these great questions is being written anew,
and it is all important that the name OF
every qualified voter should stand upon the
record. This generation is under the most
weighty responsibilities, for the faithful
diecharge of which posterity will hold
them strictly accountable Then let MS,
fellow citizens, be up and doing that We
may properly sustain our part in the mo-
mentous drama being enacted.

The Consequences OF VaIIandIg-
hams Election.

We have, already, referred to the threats
made by the Abolition press and Aboli-
ton orators, including their candidate for
Governor, as to the consequences likely 20
ensue upon the election of VALLASpIoHAM
to the gubernatorial chair. Civil war, it
is predicted, viii be the result-for the
Abolitionists viii not submit to the will
of the people. These threats, as every
sensible man well knows, are made to in
timidate a certain class Of Democrats who,
rather than risk the peril foreshadowed,
viii, it is hoped, absent themselves from
the ballot-box. While we attach but lit
tie, if any, importance to such declarations
on part Of our opponents, made, as they
evidently are, from a sense of their own
weakness. yet we repeat to them the warn
ing already given that, should they resist
the popular will, they will be quickly and
effectually Suppressed" by the rightfully
constituted authorities" These brag.

The London Times Reviews
MIR. Seward.

The London Times has an editorial on
Mr. Stewards circular, which concludes as iol-
lows
II Mr.. Seward really wishes to make CON
yeris Of French and English statesmen, he
must Hdopi a very different line Of argument
He must show US either that the South is
eviucing u readiness to yield, or that the
North has policy which will admit Of the
r. noration Of the Union without this submis-
sion But he shows neither of these things
Ou the contrary, he tells US that the Southern
President has just proclaimed levy en- nidsse,
while OF his own Government he says nothing,
except that it is preparing to prosecute the
war as before. But what is TO be the end
Europe thinks that the reconstruction OF the
Union by force Of arms is an impossibility,
and very great number Of Americans are
Of the same opinion Europe also sees dis
tineily that the South gives not the slightest
sign OF concession, while even the fortunes
OF war are not upon the whole, very uneyenly
balanced Not, therefore, without reason do
we persist in our original opinions on the sub
ject but though Mr.. Seward has thus lost
his pains, we can console him with the assur-
ance that, so far as we are concerned, they
we're needlessly expended If his object was

Hon. EnENEzER Parsons, SAMUEL
CRAGHEAp, JoHN HowARD, RoBERr
STEELE, VALENrlSE WINTERS, PETER p.
Lowe, are hereby informed that j. f. Boil
MEYER, late editor of the Dayton E,rrIRE,
was murdered in cold blood in the streets
of Dayton by an Abolitionist named Hen
ny Nj. BRowN, on the first day Of Noyem-
ber 1862, because he was a Democrat.
He was shot while returning from market
on Saturday morning, and while in the
act of deprecating breach of the peace.
Henry NJ. BRowN, the perpetrator of this
crime, was arrested and committed to pri-
son in Dayton He was saved from the
vengeance of mob through the efforts of
His Honor, Mayor GILLESPIE, and others,
on the ground that he would receive the
punishment due to his crime at the hands
of the law. By the management Of his
counsel and the action of the court, his
trial was removed from this county to Mi
ami. Day after day during the trial, n
large and sympathizing assembly Of ladies
and others were collected in the Court
House, who were permitted to minglo
their feelings in favor of the prisoner in
various ways before the jury. The Judge
upon the Bench never once, from the be-
ginning to the end Of he trial, spoke of the
deiendent as the "prisoner," or even as
the "defendent," but always as "NIr.
BRowN." He permitted boquets to be
presented to him in open court by the
ladies, in the presence Of the jury; and the
above named gentlemen were brought from
Dayton to prove that Mr.. BoLI9mYER was
fierce, dangerous and quarrelsome man,
and Mr. BRowN quiet, innocent and peace
able. All possible outside influences with
in reach, were unscrupulously and I'M
blushingly brought to bear to influence the
minds of the jury, already deeply poison
ed with political hate.
Upon the rendering Of the verdict of ac.
quittal, the Court House, forever desecrat
ed by such farce, rung with shouts fol
BRouGH thus showing, unmistakably, the
influence and the feeling to which til,
prisoner owed his acquittal.
We cannot go behind the jury's deci
sion of the case on the legal question. Bu
we do most respectfully submit to tn,
above-named gentlemen whether their con
sciences are discharged of all responsible
ty in the premises. In the stiffness of the
night, when deep sleep cometh on man
we hope they may not be disturbed by tn
apparition of the murdered BoLLMEYER.

The NIurderer Brown.

The Darke County (Ohio) Democrat says
Henry NJ Brown, the cowardly assassin
who murdered J, F. Bolmeyer, has been &c
quilted by Jury Of Miami county. Two or
three most atrocious murders have been com
mitted in that county, and in every instance,
the guilty perpetrators escaped punishment,
It was, therefore, expected that Brown would
not get his Just deserts but il he fares no bet
ter than the other mnrderers who have been
acquitted in that county, he may not congrat
ulate himself on his good fortune. He car
riea the mark Of Cain and can never escape
| from himself
