the ballot boxes again at the op'
preaching Presidential contest.
No man will be put up by this
pretended democratic party as a
leader in the conflict, as a candidate
for high position, who sustained the
war policy Of President Lincoln
from the beginning of the war I'M
til the end they will put up no man
for a high official position who did
not openly declare coersion to be
unconstitutional no man who is not
ofthe States-right school ofpolitics;
no man who favored the more men
anil money policy of the then exist
ing adm STRAIT on. They declared then
and all the time that the war was
wrong, and their cherished doc
trine of State rights, said the South
was srightand it was theirprerogative
to dissolve their connection with the
Union if they wished to do so.
Now they put up their anti-war,
anti coersion candidates who have
all the time opposed every measure
to save the Union, and ask the peO-
pie to elect them to oflicc;-
and suppose you elect them
and place the power in their con
troll, do You not by voting for them
say that Mr.. Lincoln was wrong in
prosecuting the war, and jeff Da-
Wis and his rebel hosts were right in
their efforts to destroy the best
Government ever devised by man ?
That is just the effect Of your vote
If YOU vote for candidates who op-
posed the war policy Of Mr.. Lin
coin; and the rebels and foreign
powers will so regard it, Put these
Southern rebel sympathizcrs in pos
session of the power to rule this
Government, and they will at once
tell you thatby your,votcs you have
said that Mr.. Lincoln and the arm
les under him were wrong in oppos
ing the Southern States in their ef-
forts to establish n Southern Con
rcdcracy, and then they will ask
You to make restitution to the
men for the loss Of prop
erty, slaves, &c, which you have
to them; and what reply
can You make to this demand when
they tell youaga thatby your votes
youhave acknowledged that we were
right in our efforts to establish our
Southern Conrederacy, and that
you have robbed US and murdered
our citizens, because we were doing
more than what you now
say by your votes we had q natural
and constitutional right to do p
What,awnscr can you make ifyou
place these men in power again?

The Reasons Why We Cannot

We arc sometimes asked whether
we cannot reduce the the price Of
our paper to the old price before
the war, Zone dollar and fifty cents
year, We cannot do this, for
several reasons. In the first place,
if we were to undertake to publish
OR paper for $3.50 q year, we
would have to purchase a very
cheap article Of paper, and employ
less help in our Office, and give our
readers n much smaller amount of
reading M tier, and furnish q pa.
per that few would feel interest
enough in to patronizc; we should
have to make n cheap paper in ev-
cry respect, because the price
would not derray the expense
of making n good paper
In the next place, We can
not reduce the price Of our paper to
the old price before tho war, be-
cause everything We use in our bus
mess and nearly everything we need
to live upon, is double, and some
times moro than double the price it
was then. Then VIC could buy
printing paper for 81 cents pound; I;
row it costs from Is to II cepts
Then our rents were but half what
we have to pay now We could
buy cord Of wood for Sl, so, or a
bushel Of coal, delivered, for 10
cents; now 81 cents A barrel of
-four for from rs to SO. Potatoes
for so cents q bushel; now S 40.
Pork and bacon for third or a half
less than now, Beef for less than
half Groceries Of every kind for
one halt what they cost now And
still, with all this rise, we have in
creased the price of the HERALD
only so making it $500 a
year. So It will he seen that the
price Is not now increased in price
equal to other things that we must
have; and in addition to this we
have made the paper larger, and we
believe better in every respect, and
we do not design making 1t less in
teresting or valuable to the people
Of the county than it is at present,
MS Il would necessarily have to be
il we should reduce the price to
81 so a year

Rail Road Matters,

We notice in the Lebanon Star,
that a writer is agitating the sub
lect ofbuilding a railroad from Leb-
anon to Lockland on the c. H. &
Dayton r, r., n distance Of Is
miles. The writer proposes that
the people at and about Lebanon,
build the road to Mason; and he
says that the people Of Mason have
promised to build the road from
Mason to Lockland, and then he
proposes that a contract be made
with the Cincinnati and GAINESVILLE
r. r. to meet and connect with the
Lebanon and Cincinnati Road at
Lebanon, thus giving a straight
rout from Cincinnati to GAINESVILLE.
The writer estimates the cost, and if
his estimates are correct, the plan
certainly seems practical. The
people of Lebanon are greatly in
terested in this matter, and should
leave no reasonable effort or cost.
unapplied to secure this object. If
such an arrangement could be ef-
fccted upon fair terms, it would al
so be Of great interest to the Z. d.
Z. r. r., and the people along the
entire length of the road. Our
neighbors of Lebanon have for some
time been subject to periodical
railroad spasms, without producing
any practical result. We hope,
however, that they will now take
hold Of this project with an energy
and perseverance that will accom-
pIish something more valuable than
a mere temporary spasm.

The result of the election in
the Sth Congressional District in
this State, on last Monday n week,
seems to have p0ralyzed the Demo
cratic Editors who talked so flip
PANTY about the expected victory in
that District. The poor fellows are
so dumbfoundcd that they have not
vitality enough left in them to an
nounce the result in the feeblest and
most woe-begone manner. Served
them right. The shock extended
throughout the entire Democratic
line from Maine TO California; and
all over the country the Union men
are iubilant, and seem to be inspired

ready for the conflict and victory
that awaits the Union cause in Oc-
tober and November next.

Now, sir, so far from those State
governments having been organized
by the loyal people, they were or
ganized by the disloyal; every

ell; the Union men had no part or
lot in those governments; and so
far from answering the purposes
for which governments are intend
ed, they failed to extend protection
to the loyal men, either white or
black, The loyal men were mur-
dered with impunity; and l will
