u The Frankfort Commonwealth has taken
bold aud decided grounds against the attempt
to sell out the. Union party Of Kentucky to
the Vallandfgham Democracy of the North.
Never can the Union party, says this ataunch
old Union paper, be- classed with that party
which acknowledges for its leaders Valland-
tgham d Co. They may call themselves Con-
serSatires. Pence Democrats are simply Dem
ocrats--the Union men Of Kentucky are not
to be deceived by them.
!, This is the concluding paragraph In IN arti-
Gle In the Commonwealth:
Toward armed tsaitots md their abettors, the on
~ conservative Arguments used should be tho bay
onet, the sword, the bullet and the rope TO their
t{mpsthizing friends, 1nes and Imprisonneuts
faithfully and tndic1ons1y-not a. they. have been
with fear and timfdity, the nenr1ectiop would hayc
been c1ushed and the rights ofloyal men conserved
long ago.
That is the doctrine exactly, and we believe
1t to be the sentiment Of the real Union men
of Kentucky, asaiust which, copperheads Of
the Prentice & Guthrie school will in vain
make head This venal attempt to sell out
the Union men Of, Kentucky. although coated
with the sugaty name Of Union conservative,
will never succeed. The Devil, when lie prom.
.ised to give away MI the Kingdoms Of the
world, purposed m easy task compared with
that Of afhliating men who have endured the
highest Of all sacrifices in resisting treason

Fremont and War to the Knife.

The 81 Louis Neue Zeit hoists the rad
ical democratic ticket for Fremont and
Cochrane at the head of its columns, and
thus bitterly proclaims war to the knife
against the Lincoln party:
"The Baltimore Convention has done
what we expec@ it would do. 1t has
sought to swindle Abraham Lincoln into
the Presidency again. The gauntlet,
thus thrown down, we take up. Against
this swindle we solmenly protest. Def
antly we herewith cut loose from party
which seeks Systematically the ruin Of the
country, and, IN accordance t0ith tie dec
lardtion Of General Fremont, zoe now
raise the ticket of the Radical Democra-
cy at The head of oar columns Ho,
Fremont Ho, LINCOLN Such will be
the battle-cries in this contest, and with
JOY and heartfelt gladnoss we enter this
Just, good and necessary battle against
the organization of bloodsuckers, created
by Mr.. Lincoln for the perpetuation Of
his own unnatural power and the over
throw Of the Republic. We do not CON
coal from ourselves that we shall have a
hard contest, but so much the more glori-
Gus will il be Also Whether we conquer
or are defeated is not for us the first ques-
ton. We know that it is n holy cause
and an unavoidable duty for which we en-
ter the contest; and to the bold belongs
the world.
Who risks not, gains not, and is no
man at all
In one particular the impending con-
test will be different from any preceding
one: we cannot this time esteem orr OPP
poaeatS either politically or personally.
In the enemy's camp there is nothing but
lie aud swindle; hence we shall not fight
with mildness, as we have often been ac-
cuslomed 10 do. WeshaH strike a diow
,CkeneVer zoe think zoe can hit tie enemy.
The ships are burnt behind rs, and zoe

cause we hate where once we loved--af-

SPIRITUALIsTs FOR LINcoLN.-The
spiritualisls have had great Anniversa-
nv Convention few days since in New
York city, at which men and women Of
all colors, and of grades Of intellect and
morality, ventilated themselves. The
war, free love and negroes, were the bur
den of their harrangues. One young
woman, a Miss Clark, after praisng a
beautiful young man." who preceded
her, declared herself free lover, and
gave some obscene instances illustrative
of her theory. There was a speaker for
every subject--one advocating free love,
another the war, and another abolition,
another abortion, another infdelity, and
all Mr.. Lincoln. A Mr. Howe brought
down the house by declaring that "under
Abraham Lincoln the world is TO DO free
there is nothing true but perfect free
dom. If l were in heaven would have
the freedom to sin if | wanted to, or /
wouldn't stay there" A Mr.. Clark
pitched into the peace men, he said If
Jesus Christ came and told them to 60
on the side OF jeff. Davis, he would say
shame on such Jesus, and he would
spit on him, as tho Jews did" Since
President Lincoln sought aud received the
occasional advice Of spiritual faith, no
one can doubt that he will receive a
hearty support for tho Presidency from
tho believers of that new religious the
ory.

A RIGHTEoUs VERDICT. --Albert W,
Patrie has received verdict of $4,000 at
the Greene County New York; Circuit
Court, against Marshal Murray aud w.
Buckley, his deputy. Patro was arrested
in August, 1862, for alleged disloyal
words, without process, aud carried to
New York, where he was confined in a
cell for several days.
This verdict is'a circumstance which
Republicans and all in authority will do
well TO ponder This period Of despotsm
cannot forever continue The day Of JUS
tice and law will return again, and when
that day comes it is the law alone, which
these lawless men in power have despised
and trampled under foot that will save
them from the summary Judgment and
wrath-of long suffering people. The
law will hold them 10 its stern aud fear
fol account, and from that account there
will be no escaping till the last debt is

its cold green eyes on him, pushed against
the wooden sole Of his boots, and rubbed
against his dress, the slightest puncture
in which would have been certain destruc-

WORK FOR BoYs.-We borrow the fol-
lowing timely suggestion from the Scien-
hfc american, which, if needed, will ben
eft thousands: In the present emergen-
cy of the country every hand ought to be
we'll employed. The war has absorbed
the working power of the country to an
alarming degree, and as consequence
the amount of agricultural productions
are much diminished. There are droves
of boys in the cities aud villages who
ought to be proftably employed, and it
would be good service to them as well
as to our farmers if they could be got
out to assist in farm labors. They
can be used for all kinds of light labor,
and especially in the approaching hay and
harvest season. We would be glad to
see some energetic movement started to
send to the farmers such boys as are moi
otherwise profitaby employed.

A Remarkable Prophecy.

Some years since discovery was made
in this city which, though at the time re-
garded as only curious, seems now in the
light Of the present to be remarkable. a
few days ago, an aged lady, a representa-
tive of a family Of great repute in our
colonial days and the early history. OF
our State, died 10 this city. Among the
estate which descended to her next of kin
was an old mansion, situated on Main st.
Her heir, who is q gentleman now resid-
ing here, in looking over the various things
which had been accommodating for moro
than century, and stored away in the
garrett, found beneath pile of rubbish
curiously carved, inlaid old box. The
box is in itself great curiosity the cary
ing upon it is very beautiful, and the
whole finish Of il is exquisite. The box
was good deal out of repair, and in look
ing it over for the purpose Of seeing what
was necessary to be done TO renovate It,
upon one of tho interior divisions of the
box were found written on the wood these
inscriptions, which begin now TO assume
the proportions as a prophecy. The first
inscription is ihis rude rhyme;
On July 14th 1866
Americas fate is fixed"
Beneath it, in Latin, these words:
30 prosteri, prosteri, caveto vos
ain ammo 1867
And signed
"PropheLicus es."
Preceding these Inscriptions is the
date July IA, l776, and signed by gen
tleman who at that time was distin-
guished inhabitant of Hartford.
1t will be observed that the date of
this prophecy was ten years before the Dec
laration of Independence, and at time
when the attachment of the colonies was
at It's height. That these inscriptions
were made at the time there can be no
doubt, for the signature above referred to
is one which once seen cannot be mistak-
en-, and occurs on many public documents
in our archives.

The steam saw mill, at Ottawa Cen
tire, formerly owned by Colonel Benjamin
Smith, was burned on Friday afternoon
last. The fire is supposed to have been
communicated to the building by the
steamer Daniel Ball, which passed a
half an hour, and upward, before the dis
covery Of the fire. The mill had been
idle for year or more, but the engine
and fixtures were valuable, and the general
arrangements in state of good preServa-
ton. The mill, we understand, was own
ed by DR.. Thomas Smith, Of Ravenna,
and is loss of no inconsiderabe magni-
tude. This is the third lumber manufac-
turing establishment, within an area Of
six miles, that has been burnt within the
last six months, two of which were steam
mills.
