"BUTTERNUTS" ON THE INCREASE
The Dayton Empire of Tuesday
says: "The Democrats of this city
yesterday achieved a grand and
glorious triumph. For the first
time in many years they nominated
q ticket, and made an open, straight
fight. The Abolitionists also NOM
mated a ticket, and the issue was
made fair and square. We met
them on their own grouudand their
own issue, and beat them badly,
routed them horse, foot and dra-
goons. The entire Democratic city
and township tickets are elected by
majorities ranging from 100 to $50.
Last fall the Abolitiouists had a

The Eaton Democratic Press VS.. The
Eaton Register.

We do not always condescend to take any
notice of the barefaced and intentional false
hoods palmed upon the public through the
medium Of the Eaton Register, but when the
verltable Editor, owing to his ignorance Of
composition, or want Of any knowledge Of
English grammar, makes us say what we
never said or thought of saying, we are com.
PEELED to expose his %villainy and scoundrely
falsehoods. Now, we say solemnly and de.
liberately that w never said that ue would
reduce Eston to ashes, or any corner house,
store or shop. No, nerer, Let the fellow
quote chapter and verse, if he dare; he files
our paper. We challenge him to prove his
words, or to proclaim himself a religious
liar. What we have said met and again
was, and still is, that if our Office should be
injured or destroyed by any set of bounded
on Williams, the deed would be the signal o.
blood shed, devastation and ruin in the towr
of Eaton; we say so now, but we do not say
that we would do it, or aid those who would
do it. We hate the very thought of unkind
ness between man and man. The Editor o.
the Register is nothing better than a fire
brand in our town, and a ~BillingSgate stink
ing fisherman. He is a pest to our town
and q curse to his readers. Perish such 8
vagabond from the face of Gods earth. He
is an apostate liar. No wonder that sc
many of his best readers are anxious to gel
up a real Union paper. Of all the weekly
newspapers published inAmerica, the Eaton
Register is the most paltry, trashy and vul
gar sheet ever sent forth to deceive the
~thoughtless and all faith readers. We pity
the men who read it, and those who have the
deepest interest in it. The Editor misrepre
sents the people at home to the soldiers, anG
he misrcprcscnts the soldiers to the peopl,
at home. He is nothing more than devi
clothed in church garments.

Unconditional War Men.

A class of unconditional war men
are we'll described in the following

There is a world of truth in what

Contractors have carried on the
war. The blood of our men, the
graves of the wounded, the tears OF
the orphan and the wall of The
widow, have been coined into
money. They have

hundreds of millions. They have
piled fortune Or fortune, and, as a
distinguished officer at Washington

war are even managed by political
swindlers.

BOARDING SMALL CoN.4Those
people who now hoard cents and,
three cent pieces, do it, probably, in
the belief that they are much more
valuable than the regular paper
currency. We suppose they do not
understand that cents and 8 cent
pieces are not worth what they pass
for, and that they are not Illegal
tender for the payment OF debts of
more than thirty cents. A person
may hoard three cent pieces to the,
amount of hundreds of dollarsy but,
he cannot pay debts with them, or
use them at all in business transac-
tons, beyond the amount specified,
if others refuse to take them; and
with cents the case is still worse.
Such boarding is foolish business.
These small coins were made to
circulate as change, and they were
made to pass for more than they
are intrinsically worth, in order TO
keep them in circulation therefore,
let them circulate.

taken, Port Hudson has not been
evacuated. An attack on Charles

imminent, and there cannot be a

The Kind of Petitions Circulated in
the North q few Years Ago.

In 1861, and subsequently,.
the following petition was extern
sively circulated throughout the
Northern States
"To the Senate and House of the
United States:
"The undersigned, citizers and
inhabitants Of, respectfully
submit to Congress that, in the
nature of things, antagonistic in
stitutions can never unite:
"That an experience of more
than threescore years having de-
monstrated hat there can be no
real Union between the North and
the South: we therefore believe
that the TINE HAS COME for o new
arrangement of elements so hostile,
of interests so irreconcilable, of in
stitutions so homogeneous; and we
earnestly request Congress, at its
present session, to take such initia-
tory measures for the speedy,
peaceful and equitable DISSOLUTION
OF THE EXISTING UNION as the ext
gencies of the case require, leaving
the South to depend on her own
resources, and to take all the res
possibility in the maintenance of
her existing slave system, and the
North to organize an independent
Government, in accordance with
her own ideas of justice and the
rights of man."
Accompanying the above was
the following:
an. B.-The person to whom
this document is transmitted. is
earnestly requested to circulate il
for the signatures of men and
women, and see that 1t is speedily
sent to either Senators Wade, Will
son, Hale, Fessenden and Seward,
or to any other suitable Rcpresen.

Four of these same Senators who
were to take chargcof this Gisunior
paper are still in the Senate, AND
are now palmed off as '''uncon'
ditional Union men, while the fifth
of them-Seward--is now the Pre-.
mier ofthe present Administration,
and all "loyal" men are called OF
to render them their undivided
support in the cause of the Unior

Of tho rerisisU Office took occa-
Sion to remind your readers of the
mebocratic proclivities generally
of the Editor, and especially to
to- them etheaeforts~hee
had made t oqraise and ingitsVa
mob, in June, 1861, to destroy the
"Press" and murderi its Editor, and
to procure the mobbing of Mr..
Vallandigham, with, notoniyOthsr
efforts Of similar atrocity, but with
a uniform and continued DISPOSE
ton to teach and encourage law
lessneSs and blood. The editor,
like the man whe undertook to-.
run from the indiana, hos, 1t seems,
been getting madden and madden
ever since, until at last no has ac-
tuany undertaken to not only deny
the whole thing, but to even, make
himself out as innocent as the
smallest specimen Of a eve lamb.
Being made up however, pretty
much of literature and Literary d.
tastes, the Editor could not resist
the temptation to throw inIocca-
sionally such gems as "poor, cow
ardly, contemplate, vil!ainOus con-
trlbutorG who dare not father their
|~illiteratc and scoundrelly bant-
lings," and it was in tie midst of q
series of these corruscations, that
he inadvertently permitted pussy
to escape from the wallet. "And

he, "about suppressingthe "Press,"

and hostilities between the mother
country and America ceased on the
10Th of April, and the States gain
ed their independence. The great
Washington was sworn into office
as the first President of the United
States, on the Both day of April,
1889. Saint Georges day, which
used to be observed in England, is
the 23d day of April; but the OBJ
servance of this day has now be-
come obsolete. The 25th is dedi-
Gated to Saint Mark. There were
many peculiar customs kept on this
day, such as blessing the corn, and
watching in the church porch on
the eve of Saint Mark to see the
ghosts of those who should die
during the following year. The
unrivalled and illustrious George
Frederick Handel, who was the
most distinguished musician that
ever lived, died during the month
of April. Who has not heard Of
his Israel in Egypt, the Messiah.
Maccabeus, and many other orato
rios, which, perhaps, can never be
equaled. William Harvey, the
discoverer of the circulation of the
blood, and physician to King James
I, and Charles l, was born on the
LIST of April. Shakespeare was born
in this month. Oliver Cromwell
was born on the 25th.
Good Friday and Easter Sunday
are days most religiously and sol,
EMMY observed in all lands by the
Catholic Church, and also by the
Church Of England, or Episcopal
Church, and by the Greek Church
in Russia, and other countries
The Methodisty, in Great Britain
and Ireland, are in the habit of OBJ
serving Good Friday with solemn
e~arnestness and devoti onal serious
ness. Easter is observed IN conn
memoration of our Savior's resur.
rection. "It answers" says Web
ster, "to the pascha, or passover Of
the Hebrews" The Catholics and
Greek Church observe Lent, or a
fast of forty days beginning on Ash
Wednesday, and continued till Eas.
ter. Protestant churches do not
observe Lent. Ash Wednesday, or
the first day in Lent, originated
with the Primitive Church, as a
token of humiliation because of sin.
The truly sincere confessed their
sins, and sprinkled ashes on their
heads, and thus they began to fast
and pray. We fear that too many
Catholics, as well as Protestants
have of late years erred and stray
ed like lost sheep, and indulge
rather than mortify, the deeds Of
the body.
