PARSONAGE.
We are informed that there is a
strong probability OF building a
Lutheran Parsonage in close proxim.
ity TO the church in old town in the
near future. The Trustees have an
opportunity OF selling the present
Parsonage IN West Union, which is
too lar from the church for the con-
yenIence oil the Pastor.
Mr.. HAYES.
Many OF our people "wander
how Mr.. Hayes enjoys the recent
revelations" of the great fraud
perpstratsd on the nation by a lew
sudacions villains down in Florida,
by which the American people have
been robbed of their rights, and the
nation disgrsce for all time to come
The question should not be, how
does Mr.. Hayes enjoy the position
obtained only through frauds of the
most blackning character, but rath-
er how honest men cling to The par
ty, In the face Of these undeniab'e
and incontrovertIble facts. We
have long since been convinced that
Mr.. Hayes at the time Of his iuaug-
urstion at Washington was fully
cogn!-ant OF the fact. that he had
not been elected to the high position
OF CAlei MagIstrate OF the Nation,
but, that he triumphed through he
the nost stupen1ous frauds eyer
perletrated IL aay country on the
face OF Inc earth. That being our
coRvictioB, a conviet on fully war
ranted by over wAeimiug facts, W.,
OF course can take no stock ia the
houor OF the man who would thus
usurps a position to which he was
not elected. Whilst the Florida
confessions and revelations" will
doubtless fall upon the ear of Mr..
Hayes without producing a blush OF
shame on his "adamantin" face, they
are certainly sufficient to sink bis
party Ito the deepest depths of dec
radiation. Let the honest OF his par.
ty flea, before the great avalanche
OF popular indignation like a whirl-
ing malstrum, engulph them forever
Let them show to the world, by
general stampede. that they scorn
the unparalleled fraud an consul
mate vlllainy of the party, which
would for the sake of perpetuation
In power, perpetrate all unblushiug
outrage. and wrest from the people
that great fundamental princlpls OF
government held sacred by free
and independent people, the fright
OF the majority to rule"
How many of our Republican
brethren in Presto will have the
moral courage to come boldly out,
and condemn by future actions, this
great Illuminating act OF their party
which alone must blacken. for gen
eratlons 10 come the pages Of Amer
lean history. Can 1T be possible
that the honest portion Of the Re
publican party OF Preston and else
where, will still blindly cling to
That party which has brought this
country to the verge Of RUN. That
party whose misguided Legislation
has burdened and oppressed the
people, uHtil the piteous cry of hard
times ia heard through ont the land.
That party whose profirgate rule
has cost the people thousands of
millions OF their hard earnings.
That party which to day rules the
Nation not by the voice of the peo-
pie, but alone through frauds of the
darkest dye. That party on &C
count of its unblushing acts is fast
becoming as odious as the plaques of
Egypt. Again we say, can it be
psslble. We pause to see.
