Mr.. EDIToR-Will yon be so kind
Fand obfigea liberal REPUBLICAN,"
[by giving the following a article
from the Cincinnati Commercial, a
place fn the columns of yonr paper,
for the especial benefit of the edi.
tor of the Register, and a few more
in Eaton of the same calibre. If,
coming from the source 1t does, it
can Lave any effect upon the little,
narrow contracted and bigcted soul
Of Morris and his satellites, old
neighbors and friends might again
be seen In social converse, and ma.
ny who have been driven from our
town to other places of business,
through intolerance and bigotry
and q safety Of their lives, could
again be induced to return, and
Eaton look abroad asif it was i'm
habited BY christians and pnilan'
thropists, instead of devils incarl
nate. The Commercial correspon-
dent must certainly have been in
and around Eaton, to have drawn
such a life. like p%ictureo of the oppo-
nents of the democratic PARTY, or
else he was a very careful observer
of the columns Of the "Register,"
where just such doctrine us he SO
heartily condemns, is every week
preached and encouraged. viii

/ BAD CONDUCT OF UNION MEN.
The best Of causes may have i'm.
prudent advocates, who, against
the advice Of the judicious, may
conduct themselves improperly to-
ward their opponents. We have
been grieved to see such conduct
at several Of the Union E.leetiugs
we have attended recently; and, in
. hope OF checking its increase, we
feel it to be our duty to speak Of it
here. 1t is the intolerance of a
certain class of Union men toward
Their opponents, which mauifests
itself by assaulting every man who
halloos for Vallandigham, not only
, on the ground where a Union NEE
ting is being held, but in the pub
lie streets where all have epuaI
! rights.
Until war shall be declared in
the North-and we think disloya'
persons cun be managed here with
out ihat-uo man has q right t(
knock another down for the eX.
t preston of his opinion. 1t is a Vi.
I Olation Of law which, if allowed tC
increase, as it seems to be doing
4 will end in anarchy and bloc dshN
r worse than war. 1t is the spirit o
the mob, and not of lawIabidiirg
) good Union citizens. 1t caused sac
torebodings to see this kind OF con
duet in Delaware aud Mt. Gilead
and more shocking still vas it, il
. the latter place, after one had beer
knocked down, to see his compan
ion fleeing for his life, with a Grove
of a score or two pursuing ant
: picking up bricks and stones tt
hurl at him, as though he were
=, wild beast.
! Such conduct is the legitimat'
r fruit of the advice given, we ar
! sorry to say, by one Of the Unioi
q speakers recently, that when mel
were seen wearing butternut EN-
blems, Union men should qnietl,,
approach them and tear them from
their fastenings. We could hardl..
believe our ears when we heard it
for it is so u~tterly'at variance Will
. the observance of law and order
u and SO in keeping with that the,
II have always condemned in the OF
v posi.on. We do not believe Ii
