ure of the war element in the position of the
conservatives
He who will not brook so little war as this is
an abolitiOuist. He who will not brook so
much is a secessionist. But let the Chicago
Convention nominate a candidate who honestly
represents this position, and, our life for it,
there will be few, who have ever acted with the
conservatives and whose support is worth more
than their opposition, that will refuse to sup
port him, while hundreds of thousands who
have never acted with the conservatives, will
support him also. The nomination of such a
candidate will be equivalent to his triumphant
election. The conservative position, of which
the fundamental articles are, first, infexble
determination to preserXe the Union of the Con-
stitutiOn at all hazards, and, secondly, an equal
determination to do this with as LITTLE
BLOODSHED AS POSSIBLE and if possible
with NO FURTH3R BLOODSHED. This posi-
ton, we sav strongest conceivable posi-
tion with the people. 1t is to-day invincible
and every day between to-day and the nones of
November will make this position stronger Let
the Chicago Convention conspicuously and un-
equivocaly plant itself upon this position, and
no earthly power can defeat the Chicago nomi-
nee. He will be elected by a majority that will
send thrill of admiration and of hope through
the civilized world. And here and thus the
Chicago Convention will certainly plant itself
Where else can it plant itself? Beyond this
position, there lies the Cimmeran bog of abo-
litonsm. Short Of this position, there yawns
the Tartarean pit of secessionism. The golden
medium of conservatism is absolutely the only
position upon which the Chicago Convention
can plant itself without courting defeat and dis
honor for the opposition and ruin for the Re-
plant itself just certain the sun shines upon
it -

A PRoFANE DARKEY.-A humane lady in the
west of Ohio, during the rush Of contrabands
thither, took pity on on poor ragged boy of
decidedly dark complexion, and concluded TO
give him home in her family. After being
decently clothed, Jack was as happy as a rebel
in Union prison, and soon was as fat as prize
pig. The good woman was pleased with her
success and all went on swimmingly until one
day she heard him use the Lords name in any
thing but q reverent manner. Calling Jack to
her she proceeded to lecture him upon the enor-
nifty of the deed, telling him he would certainly
go to Tophet unless he stopped swearing.

The BARGAIN BETWEEN LINCOLN AND FIRE.
MoNT.-The Marysville Express sums up Mr..
Lincoln's action in regard to the Niagara affair
as follows:
Let intelligent, well meaning Republicans,
who are not in favor of war for the negro, but
desire the restoration of the Union, take note of
events as they pass. The radical Abolition
wing Of your party; those who had "worked
nineteen years for the destruction of the Union +"
were dissatisfied with Lincoln because he would
not come to their standard and make it an out
and out negro war. So they started Fremont on
the track as a candidate for President At that,
Lincoln and his adherents took alarm. Some
thing must be done or Fremont would so effec-
tually divide the Republican party as to secure
the election of a Democrat. The 'war for the
Union" wing Of the party weakened, came to
the terms Of the radical Abolitionists, and agreed
to openly make it nigger war. Uncle Abe,
however, is known to be a slippery customers
the negrOphobyists were unwilling to trust him
unless he put himself squarely on the record
To do that he sent Greeley to Niagara under pre-
tence of negotiating with Southern Commission
ers for peace, and then, apparently in obedience
to the requirements of the case, he launched
forth his celebrated proclamation ''to whom it
may concern -
"Any proposition which embraces the restora-
ton of peace, the integrity of the whole Union
and the ABANDONMENT OF SLAVERY, and
comes by and with an authority that can con-
troll the armies now at war with the United
States, will be received and considered by the
Executive Government of the United States and
will be met by liberal terms on substantial and
collateral points and the bearers thereof shall
have conduct both ways
This was satisfactory to the Beecher, Phillips,
DR.. Tying party, and they agreed to withdraw
Fremont and Fremont has withdrawn, after an
elapse Of time sufficient to bind the people to the
infamous transaction. Lincoln sold out the
Union to the radical negro party in order to get
their votes. But he counted too largely on the
willingness of conservative Union Republicans
to agree to the programme Of a negro war and
consent to be transferred like so many chattle
slaves to the ownership and keeping of the trail
tOrous crew who are all for liberatng negroes
and nothing for Union. In gaining the out and
out Abolition vote, he is loosing the Union men
and Mcclellan is taking them by storm.

FIGHT IN CHURcH.-On last Sabbath day. Hill
ton Hill Church three miles from Medora was
the theatre Of one of those disgraceful scenes
that testify to the deviish teachings and tenden-
cies Of political preachers. Campbellite min
ister Rev. Mr.. Jaynes, has for some months past
been preaching at Hilton Hill church few
weeks ago a charge was brought against Jacob
T. BEEN, elder, and the minister's wife, Mrs.
Jaynes, in which it was alleged that an intimacy
not altogether Christian in its tendencies, exist
ed between them. trial was had by the Church
and after two days fraternal investigation, Bro
BEEN and Sister Jaynes were expelled for adul-
terry. This result led to some difficulty between
the preacher, Rev. Jaynes, and the church mem
bers which resulted in his expulsion also Thus
matters stood until last Sabbath day. It was
announced that Rev. Aaron Hubbard would
preach, which called out large audience to
hear him.
Rev. Hubbard failed to appear as expected,
and Rev. Hornaday favored the audience with a
sermon. Brother Hornaday being one who was
not in favor ofadultery between minister's wives.
was not proper person to dispense the Gospel
for Bros. BEEN and Jaynes and sister Jaynes, so
they Indignantly left and took their children
home, and just as Brother Hornaday closed his
remarks the trio, BEEN, Rev. Jaynes and lady
re-appeared and Mrs. Jaynes took the floor and
commenced haranging against those who had
testified against her on her trial One Of the
witnesses interrupted her, and the Rev. Sister
slapped her in the mouth, thus showing thatthe
Christian teaching and example Of her husband
had been treasured up. At this point the reg
ular fight began between Mrs. Jaynes and the
witness before mentioned. This led to fight
between Bro. BEEN and gentleman whose name
we forbear to mention. The elder being in q
fight fred the indignation of the preacher, and
he began 'set to- in which he came out second
best, and retreated precipitately from the field,
yelling out Enough enoughP like a whipped
cur. Here the fight became general and parties
were knocked down and kicked and cuffed quite
lively. The fight finally ended, and Brother
BEEN and the preacher left the double quick.
