Fire.

The Put-in-Bay House, so we'll known

The origin of the fire is said to be mys-

Conrerns ON the war

We call the especial attention of the
readers of the HERALD to a communion
tion to the Cincinnati Gazette of the 2sth
inst, which we copy on first page of this
paper. 1t contains some choice extracts
from speeches made by prominent Demo
cratic gentlemen of this State; in 1854, on
the question Of the prosecution of the
war for the salvation of the Union. Mr..
Converse, one of the principal orators OF
that day, is now candidate for Congress
in this district, and his views on the
question of the war for the Union are
supposed not to have undergone any
change from those he entertained in re-
lation to that very important eventin our
national history. 1t is, therefore, right
and proper that the voters of the district
should know his whereabouts on the
question, and for this purpose we give
youths own views as he has expressed
them in the extracts we publish from his
speech, made July 23d, 1854.

Organize, Organize,

But little more than four weeks now
remain until the day of our election will
be upon us, and it is time that the Repub-
lican party in our county were bestirring
themselves in the direction of effecting
thorough organization of the party, in
order to secure complete Republican tri q.
umph at the polls on the 9Th of October
next. We have sleepless political enc
my to oppose, one that is ever at work, in
season and out of season; an opposition
that needs but to be bid. by designing
| leaders, to resort to anything that they
think will win votes, in order to elect
| their candidates, or any one of them
These are facts that must be apparent to
everyone who is at all familiar with the
tricks of party that has no other hope
| of success than by deception. Our friends,
if they desire success, must be on their
guard, and be prepared to successfully
cOunteract the Misrepresentation and
deceptions of wiley political opponent.
We suggest to the Republican Central
Committee that they take immediate steps
to effect a thorough working organiza-
tion. "Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" and eternal vigilance is the
price of Republican victory as WE'LL
Now, let us all go to work, individually
and collectively, and work until the polls
are closed, at o'clock, on the 9th of Oc-
tober. If we do this victory is insured.

During the visit of the Hon., Geo. L.
Converse to the encampment of the col
ored militia, at the old Fair Grounds in
this place last Friday, among other little
incidents that transpired was one which
is worthy of mention. A leading Wash
ington Democrat was noticed walking af.
fectionately arm-in-arm with one of our
prominent colored citizens, leading him
up to the Hon. George to be introduced.
The Democratic candidate for Congress
smiIingly received him, and exerted him
self to his utmost to impress the colored
brother with a sense of his great love for
himself and his race, and his intesest in
their welfare. How well he succeeded,
we are not able to say; but the incident
called up recollection. On the outside
of this paper is an account of the great
Peace Meeting held in Franklin county
| in July, 1864, at which Geo. L. Converse
was one of the speakers. At about the
same time this meeting was held, and
while Mr.. Converse was going about the
country denouneing the war a failure,
and an unhOly war which was being
prosecuted for the purpose of freeing the
negroes, and calling for peace Oh
any terms, and whatever might be the
consequences, this same colored either
was sending a son to the army, to fight il
the front the enemy that Mr.. Converse
was encouraging and aiding, with all hi
power, in the rear. The son went to thu
army and never returned. But Mr.. Con
verse lives to solicit the vote of the fathe
and the colored men he then wished tt
continue in slavery. Perhaps Mr.. Con
verse imagines the colored men have for
gotten these things of the past; but w
incline to think his ''soft soap'' wa
wasted on that colored man.

The editor of the Marshall Uowa) } States
ma" says that after considering the ques-
lion all winter, he comes to the con-
cluslon every Spring that the circus is
immoral; but then the bill-poster comes
along with the big pictures, and his mind
changes as follows: Gas we gaze at the
lions, tigers and monkeys, and think tn at
nature made all of them, we are not so
sure. And when we look at the beauti-
full young lady, with nothing on but a
blue ribbon round her waist, with one
leg pointing to six o'clock and the other
to high noon, and that nature made her,
too, just as she was, except the ribbon,
we begin to lean up to the circus. But
when the brass band begins to play and
the elephant goes round we rush for a
front seat, to get ahead of the ministers,
who always wear stove-pipe hats, and
won't sit down in front"
