when we had no right; we sent our
army to Syria to fight for the Holy
Land; now let Peter the Hermit make
another crusade against the Church Of
Rome"
These, my fellow citizens, are the
sentiments of Hon. VIM. Allen, Dem
Ocratic candidate for Governor of
Ohio. / ask you ifMr. Vallandigham,
who was convicted as a traitor, and
sent beyond our army lines, ever ut
tered sentiments more distastful to
the loyal people of Ohio Are you
ready to reward such utteranees with
honorable distinction ?
In conclusion, permit me to say the
fight this fall is no boys play. The
Democrats will all vote as the next
election; and their hope is that by our
local differences here and there, and
our overconfidence, they may profit to
the extent Of being able to secure the
next Legislature. They do not ex-
pect to carry the State ticket, and care
but very little about if. Their can
didate for Governor was nominated
because he was the friend of Allen G.
Thurman, not because they wanted
or expected him to be Governor. If
all who desire the success of the Re
publican cause will work and vote,
our State ticket will have q handsome
majority on the second Tuesday of
October, and the Legislature will be
ours. To secure success we must have
organization and labor earelessness
and apathy would be fatal.
Thanking the Republicans of Ohio
for the support heretofore given to me,
/ look forward with confidence to the
result of this campaign.

FRIENDS OF TEMPERANCE


The cause of temperance is generally
progressing and therefore cheering
Throughout the world wherever it has
been agitated, it commands the respect
and the support of the large majority of
christians and good citizens In this
country the interest is unprecedented.
In every State the people are aroused
and seemed determined to check and
control as far as practicable this erH.
Church Acknowledgements orders
and State laws are the means now used.
An appeal to Congress to regulate the
manufacture of intoxicating drinks is
contemplated. This was originated by
persons having influence with the GOV
eminent.
The thoughtful never expect in this
sinful day to destroy this-the greatest
foe to mans happiness. Why should
We? Can we expect to see the time
when there will be no lying, stealing,
murder, &c? The christian church is
doing a great work but yet sin abounds.
The temperance cause has changed the
usages of society-nine-t enths condemn
drinking and drunkenness, yet liquor is
made, sold and drank as a beverage
men get drunk, bring trouble on them
selves and others, die and are eternally
lost. This seems strange, but it is true.
Is there not trouble enough in the
world from other sources All say
yes a! but few act consistently. Let
those who approve of Temperance, iden-
tifv themselves with the work and labor
for its promotion. Here is means to
do good, in which all can engage. May
our eyes be opened to the path of duty,
and may we have grace to walk therein.
The Friends Of Temperance is a
christian association-the Bible is its
foundation stone. 1t is auxiliary to the
christian church. We believe drunken
ness, and consequently the causes of
drunkenness, in the manufacture, sale
and use of intoxicating drinks as a bey-
erage to be sin against God.
"Our motto is ardent spirits as med
icine and never as Il beverage" We
confess that without Gods blessing, help
nd guidance, our work will come to
naught. Except the Lord build the
house, they labor in vain who build it. "
Our Supreme Council was composed
chiefly Of advanced christians,-the
marked feature was the devotional spir-
it, desire to know tie truth and be
governed by it.
This fact is cncouraging-it tends to
humble man and cxalt God. For this
we are thankful. We congratulate the
Friends of Temperance, and bid them
look upward and labor onward.

MIR. Davis, Alleged Disguise.

preiuiices; but think it wicked TO lie

about the devil. / was with the party
that captured jeff. Davis; saw the whole
transaction from the beginning. Inow
say-and hope you will publish THAT
jeff. Davis did not have on, at the time
he was taken, any garment such as is
worn by women. lie did have over
his shoulders water preof article of
clothing-something like "Havelock."
1t was not In the least concealed. He
wore hat, and did not carry pail of
water on his head, nor carry pail bucket
or kettle in any way.
TO the best of my recollection, he
carried nothing whatever in his hands.
HIS wife did not tell any person that
her husband might hurt somebody he
got exasperated. She behaved like
tsdy, aud he as gentleman, though
manifestedly he was chagrined at being
taken into custody. Our soldiers be-
haved like gentlemen, as they were, and
our officers like honorable, brave men;
and the foolish stories that went the
newspaper rounds Of the day, telling
how wolfishly he deported himself, are
all false. l know what | am writing
about. / saw Jefferson Davis many
times while he was staying in Portland,
several years ago, and think / was the
first one who recognized him at the time
of his arrest When it was known that
he was certainly taken, some newspaper
correspondence knew his name at the
time-fabricated the story about the
disguise in an old womans dress. |
heard the whole matter talked over as 4
good Joke, and the officers, who knew
better, never took the trouble to deny
it. Perhaps they thought the Confede-
rate President deserved all the contempt
that could be put upon him. think
so, too, only l would never perpetrate
falsehood that by any means would be-
come history. And further, | would
never SANDER a woman who has shown
so much devotion as Mrs. Davis has to
! her husband, no matter how wicked he
is or may have been. l defy any person
to find single officer or soldier who
was present at the capture of jeff. Da-
Wis, who will say, upon honor, that he
was disguised in wOmans clothes, OF
that his wife acted in any way mlady
like or undignitied on that occasion. |

The Career of Great Remedy.

Twenty summers have elapsed since 1t was
briefly announced that new vegetable tonic
and Alternative, bearing the name Of llostetter's
Stomach Bitters, had been added TO the list of
preventive and restorative remedies. The mod
est advertisement which invited attention TO
the preparation stated that il had been used
with great success in private practice as cure
for dyspepsia bilious complaints, constipation
and Intermittent fever. 1t was soon discovered
that the article possessed extraordinary proper
ties. The people, of every class, tested Its
merits as a tonic, stlmuant, corrective and
restorative and found that its effects more than
fulfilled their hopes and expectations. From
that time to the present its course has been up
ward and onward, and ii stands to-day at The
head Of all medicines of its class, American OF

A decision has recently been put upon
the new law regulating the sale of Ii
quor in Illinois, which will interfere
materially with its operations. The
law in question is, we believe, similar to
that now in force in West Virginia and
provides for the recovery of exemplary
damages in the suit of persons injured
BY the sale of intoxicating drinks. IN
der this law a woman sued a tavern
keeper, who sold her husband liquor on
which he became drunk and while III
that state met his death. The Judge,
in sustaining demurrer to the indict-
ment, after promising that the Legisla-
ture did not mean to forbid the sale of
liquor, but allowed license to soil, said
that it could not be a crime under the
law to dispose of liquor to sober per
son, and what was lawful for the yender
at the time of sale could not properly
become unlawful FOR him at subse-
quent time on account of circumstances
over which he had no control. For the
same reasons a person renting the place
where liquors were sold would still less
be responsible, unless he had definite
knowledge that an unlawful sale was to
be made and gave his consent toit. The
case will 90 TO the Supreme Court OF
the State for final judgment.

crosby led her to the rescue of New
England. She believed that great prin-

A Fatal DrEI~-R. Barnwell lthett,

Judge Cooley, counsel for Hawkins IN
the SANDER suit against the Plcayune,
fought duel with double barrel shot
GUNS, loaded with ball, at Montgomery
station on the Mobile IL Ohio Railroad,
near New Orleans, OH the first instant,
which resulted in the killing OF Judge
Cooley at the second fire. Col. Rhett
was not hurt The cause of the dlfilcul-
ty is thus given
This difficulty is one of the sad results
Of the iniquitous Hawkins suit against
the Picayune, of which Col. Rhett Is
editor. In his speech for the prosecu-
ton Judge Cooley made reflections up
on that paper, which called forth ali ed
itorial in its next issue pronouncing
them false.
Judge Cooley then addressed COM
munication to the editor calling for eX-
plantations, which being accorded, he
followed it up by publishing card as
sailing Col. Rhett. A challenge prompt
" followed, and the result is now be-
fore our readers.
