ed-EDs. GAZETTE. Other smaller
butternuts followed bis example. The
sermon was repeated elsewhere through
the county with similar results. Last
week, when the brethren and sisters
were called upon, 10 see who would
entertain the ministers who should at
tend Conference, the seeding and but
ternut families refused to entertain any,
until they heard that one ofthe number
was oflike political faith with them
selves, when all were anxious to enjoy
the blessings of his sanctifying pres
ence, and contended for the honor of
his entertainment. -
THE BLESSED MARTYRS.
In one Of the wagons from Liberty
Township were sitting trio of de.
mure, long faced individuals, looking
as though they were momentarily ex-
pecting the last Judgment. One Of them
had a Bible under his arm, and hang
ing on forlled stick to the right of
him was a handful of waste paper,
which indicated the happy deliverance
Of the martyrs from the torments of
their deprivation. The wagon was
drawn by the favorite team Of Dr. Olds
three exceedingly longeared mules,
strung out one in front Of the other.
THE vALLANDIGHAM RECORD.
1t is said the sale of fthis fulsome au-
photography (for it has leaked out that
it was prepared by the traitor himself) J,
has been interdicted in Fairfield coun-
ty and elsewhere. Not a volume of it
has been obtainable in Lancaster for
some time, and the colportcurs pro-
noting its sale have retired from the
field. And no wonder when the I'm
ion speakers and laymen are using it
so effectualIy against the ill-disguised
secessionist. When they charge Val
landigham with being a secessionist
and disunonist, his friends deny it,
and say if the charge can be proved
they will renounce him. Forth comes
the "Rccord. D." and they are convinced,
unless they deny the authenticity Of
the book. TO obviate this, a Union
candidate for the Senate had the En-
pirc Office put their imprint on two
hundred copies, which he is distribut-
ing in his district free of charge.
SOMETHING OF THE SPEECHES.
The Chairman, Mr. VIM. P. Greed
in presenting the first speaker to the

who have professed to be, and call your.
selves Democrats, you would reject the
teachings and counsel of Old Hickory
