Association in body, preceded by their

During the day, in accordance with pre-

by the Association named to have an ami

Henry Blum's. Rev. Giles Cristoph ad-
dressed the Association in the morning at
their Hall, briefly encouraging the objects
and aims of the society and endorsed its pro-
cesdings.
Although the day was diagreeable, the
evening brought. among other distinguished
strangers, r. L. Johnston, Esq, Sheriff
Blair, Col. McDernitt, and several other
citizens of your place. who arrived just in
time for the early supper served by the As
Sociation. Immediately after supper Mr.
JohHston was called on to address the Asso-
citation, which he did in his usual ready msn-
ner, and although expressing himself as un-
prepared for the duty, remarked that he had

True Doctrine.
from the Louisville Courier.l


Colonel Baber, in his speech to the De-
mocracy at Columbus, Ohio, a synopsis of
which we publish to-day, took true Demo
cratic ground in reference to the Southern
States. Those States. he contended, have
Legitimate State Governments, and no Sem
ator, no Representative in Congress, and
no Presidential elector, chosen by fran
chise forced upon the people by Congress
ional usurpation, should be respected or
recognized. This sentiment has the ring of
the true metal about it. 1t is the theory OF
the Constitution, and the only one II pom
which white supremacy and Republican
Government can be maintained. 1t is the
true solution of the reconstruction problem
the clue by which the nation may effect
a safe and honorable escape from the intri-
cacies of the worse than Cretan labyrinth
in which it has become involved through
the traitorOus wiles of the Radical conspir-
ators.s
We recommend to such weak kneed bro
theirs as would daily with compromises the
bold stand against the whole OF the social
ed reconstruction policy taken by Col. Ba-
Der and the sterling Democracy of Ohio
With tnem there is no shrinking from the
true issue. They see in reconstruction, so
called, an attempt on the part of Radical
Congress to perpetuate party ascendency
by usurpiDg power over the governments
and people of ten States. and by the estab-
lishment of negro supremacy, and they
treat it accordingly.
Let it not be forgotten that, as Col. Baber
says, the only legitimate State govern
ments at the South are those which have
been established by the people, and conse-
quently that all congressional legislation
based upon the pretended abrogation OF
such State governments is wholly uncon-
stitutiOnal and invalid.

What Impeachment may be I'm
Tend d for.

The Piqua Democrat, which is accustomed
thus discourses upon Impeachment:
As our Radical friends declare that the
Almighty brought about the war for the
purpose of Kidding this country of slavery,
so lie may intend the impeachment move
for the purpose of Kidding us of this infer
nal Radical fanaticism which is now curs-
ing the land. For, with the recent in6orse-
ment of the people, the President would
hardly submit to be tried by a part of a
Senate, when under the Constitution he is
entitled to Senate composed of Senators
from all the States i'll the Union. The
President recognizes all the States as in the
Union, and entitled to representation in
the U. S. Senate.
Then with the attempt to remove, would
come resistance. which would produce col
lision. The President, being the Comman-
der-in-Chief of the army and navy, and
having truth, justice and the people on his
side. the result would not be doubtful
Radicaism and Radical reconstruction
would be swept from the land, and the
whole people would again be free. This
may be the way intended to get rid of the
misrule that is now cIrsing the country,
but we cannot think so. We hope no such
tragedy is in store for Us, but if this is the
only remedy and must come, then in our
opinion. the sooner it comes the better. for
there will be more of the institutions of the
country to save. Every day the Radicals
continue in power they are eating out the
life principles of the Government.
We have thought seriously over the mat
ter, and have not been able 10 arrive at tie
conclusion that impeachment would not be
the best way to work out reconstruction,
provided the President is 1.-THE right man
in the right place." and is equal to the

A CEREMONY was performed in one of the
Masonic Lodges ofNew York city on Tues
day evening, which is but rarely known in
this country, as we learn from the Phila-
delphia Ledger. 1t was the conterring of
what are known as the Degrees of the
Eastern Star, or adaptive masonry upon
about two hundred ladies, who were the
wives, daughters, sisters or widows of
Master Masons. Two past grand masters
of New York State were present and as
sisted at the ceremony, and the master of
the Lodge stated that she would hereafter
labor in the Grand Lodge of New York to
have it use its great influence with the
Grand Lodges of the world for the pur-
pose of ha ing some token brought into
being, and generally recognized. by which
wives, sisters, daughters, widows and
mothers of Masons may make themselves
known all over the world. In this he in
tended no infraction of Masonic law, but he
did mean that when such relatives of Ma
sons were in distress, they should be known
without carry ing their relatives diploma
in their pocket" This ceremony of adop-
tive masonry has not yet, we believe, been
introduced into any of the Lodges in this
city.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
AMERICAN
WALTHAM
w A 7 G III e S .

The true value of Machinery applied to Watch
making is not that by its Watches are made
rapidly, but that they are made correctly. Very
fex people know why W altman W atch should be
superior to any other. In the first place. at Walt
ham the Wstch is regarded as only machine, to
be constructed like any other machiue, on mechan-
ical principles. II the Watches are good. it is be-
cause the machinery is good. OF course there
must be no defect in the principle or plan of the
movement-no mistake in the sizes or shapes of
the pieces of which it is composed-notbing want
Ing in their properties. and in their posi-
ions. These points once thoroughly settled, i
rests wholly with tie machinery. constructed with
infinite diversity Of form and function expressly
for the pur ose. to produce the finished pie,es By
means OF multiplying guages and microscopes, tests
and inspect for the detection of in the cut
ting tools. and for faults aad in steel or stone
are made to accompany the work in every stage
from beginning to end. As necessary result the
Watch goes together 8 perfect machine. Every
part is found to fit properly in its plsce. Every
pin mLy be pushed till it oinches and every screw
turned homs. Instead ofa sluggish and feeble ac-
tion. the bsl ance. under the pressure of the
highest msinsprng. vibrates with wide an tree
motion, and the beat has the clear ringing sound
always characteristic Of the W Watham Watch. The
mschine is atimekeeper from the start.
This system of watchmaki is unkno wn in for
eisn countrie'. and is entirely original with the
Walthau Com -any. The Company claim that by
it they produce Watches that cannot bs equal ed
for every quality which makes Watch valuable.
Simple in plan and correct il pri pie, the
mont is not only beautifully finished, substantial.
accurate and cheap. but is uniform in the minutest
details not easily damaged, and when repaired al
ways as good as new. There are different grades
of finish in the different varet of W atches made
by the Wsltham Company. as there are different
sizes and shapes tn suit all tastes and means; but
every Watch that bears the genuine trademark of
'WALTHAN" is guare nted to be q good one, and
nobody need be afraid to buy it. =

Well Said.

Inc Warren Constitution so we'll expresses
our views in the following, that we give it
our hearty Endorsement:
We publish on another page the remarks
OF the ex-Loyal Col. Baber. 1t is encour-
aging to see men of his stamp come to the
support of sound principle and the men
whose strong and Indefatigable energy has
mitherto been its palladium. Democracy,
IKE the hosts of Heaven, feels JOY over one
torsaktng error for truth of richer zest,
than is felt for many true men who never
strayed. Thus we welcome the Col. with
much joy. as an advocate in just, ma
u0nal cause. But we are not for waiting

candidates" before committing ourselves to
the candidates who will be the Standard
bearers of our principles. 1t is bad policy.
IL looks to the mere catch penny plan of
seeking profit by small mistakes and family
quarrels. matter that will be regarded
more than waste of time by any public
speaker competent to address with profit an
Intelligent audience In Ohio, on the many
oudt ISSUES, necessarily embraced in the
coming campaign. Those issues are to be
met as the issues in the recent Ohio election
were met by our speakers and presses under
the lead of the Tented Thurman. They
must not be frittered away by little side or
personal issues. No such thing should be
let IN To dim the mental vision or divert it
from the Elonstrosities introduced by the
uSurpdtton, deSpOtism and frauds which have
defined and will define the opposite party
till Democracy wipes out its most latent
existence and buries its infaIuy i'm restored
constitutional government. The contest is
TO be one of principle. Our principles are
based on truth which is Interchangeable. They
ike the ETERNAL, are the same to- day. yes
terday and forever. The party opposed is
necessarily the same, that it was and ever
will be, no matter what name it elect or
what standard bearer it may put forward.
we have to bear in mind that all presses
who did not support the errors OF the Lin
coin Government and sustain his most des-
potic acts were suppressed for years, so
that nothing was allowed to go to the army
or the readers who remained at home. The
consequence is that the Democratic press
and party have all the tales and mis-
representations of an unscrupulous
press for years to refute, and
been led astray by venal lying to disabuse.
This Is work that must be entered upon
at once and be pursued with untiring ZEAL

The Greenback Qnestion.

The Washington Chranicle publishes an
admirable letter from Hon. JOHN LAW,
Democratic Representative in Congress
from the Evansville Qndiana) district, to
fHADDEUs STEVENS, which sustafns the
late published views OF the latter on the
financial question. Mr.. LAW says:
Il have just finished reading in the Gin
cinnati Commercial with care, attention, and
with great pleasure, your reply to your
neighbOr, Gyger, in reference TO the pay
ment in legal tenders of the principal OF
the five twenty bonds, and am very glad to
find that our opinions on that subject per-
fectly coincide. voted for the bill with a
perfect understanding thar, rs the bill was
silent on the subject Cf the payment OF
gold for the principal, 1t was to be paid in
Government currency; while, as to the in
terest on these bonds, it was specially pro-
vided that gold should be paid; and have
always regretted, as | have told you ire
quently, that voted for it all, believing as
| do that no such distinction should be
made, and that all bonds of the Govern
ment should be paid, principal and inter-
est, in the currency OF the Government
which they had declared should be legal
tender for all debts, public or private, ex-
cept in those eases of the ten forties where
express provision was made fol the pay
ment i'll gold both for principal and inter-
est.
81 recollect very well, in a conversation
with you, that you told me : 1t was sim
gular anomaly that. in Government like
ours, emphatically Government of the
people, our brave and gallant fellows who
had lost an arm or leg, or perhaps both,
in the service, or the widows and orphans
OF those who fell battling for their country,
should be paid in treasury notes, when the
bankers and millionaires OF Europe, who
ha no sympathy for our cause, but who
had invested in our bonds at probably
eighty cents to the dollar, should be paid
in gold,' and you were right.
81 do not believe the folly of those who
are urging the argument of reputation.
In case the bonds are not paid in gold we
will have strength enough at the close of
the next Congress to carry them over the
pons asinOrun,. You may rely upon it, the
Great West, irrespective of parties, are
solidly against paying gold on the princi-
pal of these bonds. and it will be with
great reluctance and misgiving that they
will pay the interest in gold.
Il will further say that the party, what
ever it may be, which indorses such policy
in the Presidential election next fall, will
be so far beaten that their own dogs will
not know them when they come from the

From the I,eavenworth (Kansas) Commercial. 2s IL
Letter from Gen. Il. Ewing, Jun.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 1867.
DEAR COLONEL: l have your letter of
the 10th inst., advising me of the forma-
ton of Grant clubs, by many of our COM
rades in Kansas, and asking my opinion of
the movement.
l earnestly wish to be in accord with the
great part of my Kansas and army friends;
and still hope to unite with them in sup
porting General Grant for President. But
l want first to know whether he approves
of the reconstruction measures; for, If he
does, cannot support him. Iregard them
as mischievous; begot of revenge, misdi
rected philanthrophy and lust of power
would as soon expect house to stand on
the crater of living volcano, as State,
where whites and blacks being nearly
equal in numbers, the whites are proscrib-
ed, and the blacks made rulers. Such a
government cannot long have the heartfelt
sympathy of any large body of white men
anywhere. Blood is thicker than water,
and Northern whites will sympathize with
Southern whites in their struggle to shake
off the incubus of negro rule. If there
were no prejudice of race to affect their
action, the Northern people wo Id still re-
fuse to reproduce in ten States OF the Union
Hayti or San Domingo, or any other gov.
eminent and civilization which the negro
race has established since the flood.
To punish the Southern whites for their
treason, the Northern people might posi-
bly,, for time, be willing to atflict them
with such governments but self-interest
forbids 1t. 1t were like the fabled war OF
the belly and the members. The North al
ready groans under the punishment now
being inflicted on the South; and must,
besides, pay for the whip. rhe negro gov
ernments, when formed, must be propped
up with Northern bayonets, and the North
must pay for the bayonets; and, however
costly, they can never safely be Withdrawn
When reconstructed, each one of those
States will be like magazine-all secure
while carefully guarded outside, but, when
lett unguard I'd, a chance spark will blow
it, and all about it, to the devil.
Entertaining these views, 1 would not
support any candidate for the Presidency
who endorses the reconstruction measures
even if they were lawful still less, as
consider them wholly unconstitutional, and
full Of danger as precedents.
l write you thus explicitly, because ]
value your good opinion, and want you to
know how 1 think, and feel, and mean to
act. on the stupendous questions which lie
around and before us.
Yours, faithfully,
THOMAS EWING, Jun.
