Tbs Addison Festival,

EDITOR OF JoURNAL:-The committee
of arrangements and members of the
NJ. L. Church at Addison, wish
through the columns of your valuable
paper to return thanks to their numer-
our kind friends who. favored them
with their presence and patronage at
their ice cream festival, held at Addi-
son Chapel, on Thursday evening,
August 7th. Their undertaking met
with much better success than they
anticipated, the proceeds amounting to
$50, which will be expended in paint
ing their church, which was erected
two years ago. Owing to the want of
funds it was left in its present unfnish-
ed state. The ladies, ever true to their
calling, lsboring for the good and the
just, determined that the unsightly
edifice should be converted into neat
and respectable place of worship, and
from the present prospects their labors
will soon be crowned with. success.

~ Chief Justice Chase took oc-
casion, in his charge to the grand ju-
ry at Parkersburg, to recognize the
Fourteenth Amendment as legally
adopted, and as now a part of the
Constitution. The particular sub
ject which be made the occasion of
this, was that of the revenue laws,
in. their relation to the clause of the
Amendment which declares that the
validity of the n ational debt shall
not be questioned. He showed that
the honest collection of the revenue
is q duty enjoined by this constitu
tional provision, so that the Govern
ment should be provided with means
to sustain the public faith.
This amendment has now been
recognized by the three branches of
the Government,the legislative, exc
cutlye and judicial, as a part of the
Constitution. And thus all depart
ments of the Government are united
against the war declaration of the
Democratic platform, which pro.
Deunces the reconstructed State

the action of the States as valid in

Mr.. EDIToR:-In as much as the
Presidential election is now rapidly ap-
preaching, it becomes the bounden
duty of the American people, to weigh
calmly and dispassionately, the grave
issues, which are now presented to
them, for their judgment and conside-
ration, by the two great political parties
of the country, and also to ascertain
which of the two parties justly merits
their confidence and support. Now, in
order to decide this question correctly,
it becomes necessary to recur to our
past political history, which now pro-
pose to do briefly. In 1880, the agi-
tation of the slavery question threaten
ed the destruction Of the Republic, but
through the efforts of Mr.. Clay an
amicable adjustment was effected. In
1852, the leaders of the democratic
party nominated Mr.. Pierce for Presi-
dent, and in their platform pledged
themselves ''to resist all attempts at
renewing the agitation Of the slavery
question, in or out of Congress. The
people reposed confidence in them, and
Mr.. Pierce was elected, and in his in
augural address, in speaking of the
repose which the country then enjoyed,
declared ''that this repose is to suffer
no shock during my official term, if l
have power to avert it, those who
placed me here may be assured" Did
he and the leaders of the party keep
these pledges? Let the faithful history
of the times answer. In 1854, the
leaders of the democratic party in
Congress, in utter disregard of plighted
faith and honor, repealed the Missouri
Compromise, and thereby reopened the
agitation of the slavery question. THIS
gove er;sts,.ce to d,c Republican patty.
Time rolled on. We had our "Kansas
troubles.
In 1856, Mr.. Buchanan was the
democratic candidate for President,
and about that time, our political ho-
rizen assumed an alarming aspect.
Indeed, it seemed that civil war was
lust on the eveof bursting upon the
country. The leaders of the democratic
party told the people that the stability
If the Union depended upon the cleo
ion of Mr.. Buchanan, and if elected he
you'd give quiet and repose to the
country. In other words, that the
lemocratic party alone could and
would, if successful, save the Union.
The people again reposed confidence in
hem, and MIR. Buchanan was elected.
Vow then did he and the leaders of the
lemocratic party keep the solemn
hedges which they made to the nation?
again. l appeal to history for an an
wer, and its echo is, that before the

to hold the mass of the democratic
party, responsible for the acts of their
leaders, but how long viii they con
tinue to place confidence in these
leaders, when they have so often be-
trayed the trust reposed in them. If
these men violated their solemn pledges
during the Pierce and Buchanan ad-
ministrations, will they not do so again,
if successful at the approaching cleo
ton? What evidence have we that
they will not do so? And if they made
every effort possible to destroy the gov
ernment, when in peace, what assur-
ance have we that they will not attempt
the same thing again if they should get
control of the government? | answer
none whatever. Indeed, Judging from
the tone of Mr.. Blair's letter, of the
30th of June last, l am conducted to
the conclusion that if Mr.. Seymour
should be elected, the period of an ac-
tual collision is then rapidly approach
ing. Who then can doubt the danger
attending the success of the democratic
party. Let the people seriously think
of these things with an anxious desire
to learn the truth and do it. fC, - er51
But further, we are told by the
leaders of the democratic party, that
the Republican party is a bad party,
that it brought on the war, established
a military despotism in the South, in
fine, has violated the constitution in
thousand ways, all of which is utterly
false. But suppose these, and thou
sand other charges, which they hurl
against the Republican party are true,
then | undertake to say, that the
leaders of the democratic party ought
to be heartily ashamed of themselves,
because | have already shown that by
their own acts-by violating their own
pledges. they gave existence TO the Re
publican party. Hence it follows, as
necessary conclusion, that if the Re-
publican party is bad party, the
leaders of the democratic party are re-
sponsible for bringing it into existence,
and not only this, but they are respon-
sible for all its acts, which they say are
unconstitutional. Taking this view of
the subject, l cannot conceive how any
honest man can support the democratic
ticket.
While the Republican party has
labored long and steadily to preserve
the government, established by our
Revolutionary fathers, the chief leaders
of the democratic party have labored
long and just as steadily, to destroy it.
That the stability of the Republic de-
pends on the success of the Republican
party, at the approaching elections,
there can be no question. And if the
people wish to avert an other war, they
should support the Republican ticket,
if not, let them vote for Seymour and
the democratic ticket, and by so doing,
they will bring on a war without par
allel in all the worlds history.
A FARMER.

FF The GRANT column is moving G
steadily on to triumphant and glo-

accession. of new friends from the
rotten rebel democracy. Many of
them have heretofore been counted
leaders of the party. The nomina-
tion of the bond holders, orphan asy-

was bad enough, but the nomination
of Frank Blair was the fatal blow.
Honest democrats and moderate con-

themselves under the banner of
Grant and Peace. Let "the ball roll

at the opening of the U. S. District
Court at Parkersburg, on the 9th.
In his charge to the grand jury he
referred to the fourteenth article of
