The true and the proper use of the military power, besides defending the National honor against foreign Nations is to uphold the laws and civil government and to secure to every person residing among us the enjoyment of life, liberty and property. The right of trial by jury, the habeas corpus, the liberty of the pr< ss, the freedom of speech, the, natural rights of property must be prserved. Power may destroy the forms but not the principles of justice. These will live in spite of the sword. The great principles of American liberty still are the lawful inheritance of this people and ever should be. Armed insurrections or forcible resistance to the law will be instantly repressed by arms. Nothing can intimidate me fromdoing what I believe to be honest and right. Arbitrary pouter has no exception. CARFS VIEWS. Hon. Samuel F. Cary’s Heasons Tor Supporting Hancock. [From Petersburg, 111., Observer.] The following is a complete letter from ! Hon. Samuel F. Cary, of Ohio, addressed to Mr. Huber of this county, and presenting his reasons for supporting Hancock for President: Cincinnati, July 27, 1880 L. Huber Esq. Dear Sir—l have your letter of the 23d inst., with the slip from some newspaper in regard to my position in the present political canvass. I have replied to many similiar communications, with a hope that some to whom my answers were given would hand them to the press that I might be relieved from writing so much. This for reasons best known to themselves, they have failed to do. 1 have no disposition to conceal ray views or the reasons for my actions. 1. Let me assure you once for all that I have not abandoned the doctrines which I advocated for many years on the finance and labor questions, and which I will continue to press upon the attention of my countrymen whenever an opportunity offers. To secure the recognition of those doctrines and their incorporation into the legislation of the Nation is and will be the purpose of my life. 2. There can be ho reform until the Republican party is defeated. It is the party of rings, monopolies, corporations and aggregated wealth. It is aiming at centralization of power in the Federal Government, and its utter

overthrow is the condition precedent to any real form. 3. The Greenback Labor platform made at Chicago is, on the whole, acceptable, and Weaver is a worthy man. but it is my conviction that to the extent we support him we aid in perpetuating Republican misrule. There is not the slightest probability that he will get a single electoral vote in the United States. If he gets one it will be by fusion or affiliation with one or the other of the old parties. In Ohio the organization is in the hands of the socialists, and will, therefore, command a very insignificant vote. I can not and will not “muster ’ with them, nor give them aid and comfort. You know as well as I that the elements composing the Weaver party have no principles of cohesion. They would quarrrel over the adoption of any principle announced in the platform. 4. The Democratic party has pre- I vented the withdrawal and the cancel- ’ lation of our greenback currency. I When the Republican party in Congress, under the whip and spur of the ' money power, determined to wipe out our National money and give to banks the exclusive power over the circula- [ tion, the Democrats in Congress, in I obedience to the demands of the people, said not a single greenback shall be ; withdrawn. We owe it to the Demo- ; I cratic party that we have $346,000,000 of greenbacks in the channels of business. The Republican party stealthily and surreptitiously, and in the night, demonetized silver. The Democrats, true to the popular voice, interposed j and remonetized silver, in spite of the President’s veto. The Democrats have shown that they are not ruled by rings | and monopolies, but listen to the voice of the people. 5. The Democratic party assisted in electing De La Matyr, Weaver, Gillette and other currency reformers to Congress. Neither of them will ever be returned to Congress without a similar affiliation. Our party is everywhere powerless, unless it can get the co-ope-ration of bne of the old parties. The times are too serious, in my judgment, to be simply foraging on both sides of the line while a great battle is impending. I believe that the Democratic party, when it knows the will, will yield to the demands of the masses. I know that the Republican party looks for its support to the bondholders, bankers, usurers and shylocks, and would have a strong Government to rule the people, with or without their consent. 6. I am aware that many Greenback sheets will howl about my alleged disaffection, and denounce me as a traitor to the cause. I can survive all such attacks, because I will not swervd from the path of duty as I see It. I recognize no master but my ow|. convictions I of right. T shall still hold aloft the banner inscribed with the doctrines which I have labored to inculcate for twelve years, and shall vote only in such way as I think I can make them most successful. 7. Our principles are constantly growing in favor, but the Greenback Labor party is not gaining strength, i the “seven by nine sheets” which howl so lustily to the contrary notwithstand- ; ing. Mark the prediction—Weaver i and Chambers will not receive an elec- j toral vote in the United States, unless ! by fusion. So far as the votes amount ! to anything the result will aid in per- I petuating Republican misrule. 8. Whatever I might do in any other State, in Ohio I shall vote for Ilan cock as the best thing I can do in this emergency. Yours, etc., S. F. (’ary. —— Strong Evidence. I have sold at retail price since the ; 4th of December last 106 bottles of Dr. . I Thomas’ Eclectric Oil, guaranteeing ! | every bottle. I must say 1 never sold | a medicine in my life that gave such ! universal satisfaction. In my own case, with a badly Ulcerated Throat, after a physician pencilling it for several days to no effect, the Eclectric Oil cured it thoroughly in twenty-four hours, and in ■ threatened croup in my children this winter it never failed to relieve almost! immediately.

Sabbath School Celebration. The Sabbath schools of Kirkland and adjoining townships held a very pleasant meeting in G. M. Houck’s grove on Saturday, Aug. 14, 1880. The generosity of the people was clearly shown by their hiring a vehicle to take any persons out who would assist them in their work. After singing that grand old hymn, i “All hail the power of Jesus' name," the exercises of the day were opened with prayer by Rev. BieknelJ. of Mon- | roe. Some fine addresses were then made j of which space will forbid our commenting upon all. Dr. Curran, of Decatur, spoke for a short time. In the course of his remarks he stated that the word Sabbath was of Chaldean origin, signifying day of rest and was typical of the future rest; that its observance i was a moral obligation and of advan- ' tage to the physical constitution of ! man as well as for his moral improve- ; ment; a day in which to worship God ■ and improve spiritually. The Doctor surprised many of us in stating that the first Sabbath school was founded at Ephrata, Penn., by Ludwig Hacker—a I Moravian minister—in the year 1740, i and that this school continued in existence until broken up by the revolutionary war. , A song was then sung by the Oakland school assisted by Prof. Faylor. Prof. Armen, of Hillsdale, Mich., then gave a very entertaining address to the Sabbath school scholars. The schools then sang another song, after which Prof. Luckey, who had been wisely selected by the county Sabbath school conyention as m evangelist to work up and harmonize the Sabbath school work of Adams county, was introduced by the president. The speaker made a stirring and earnest appeal to all workers in the Sabbath school. He showed briefly that the success of the Sabbath school was the success of the nation; that the human system was divided into the physical, mental and moral; in order to attain the highest developement in either of these the others must be correspondingly developed. Thdl practical benefit of the Sabbath school was shown in the fact that the most useful as well as the most successful men were Sabbath school workers; and further, no one can be a successful worker in the Sabbath school who has not the religion of Jesus Christ in his heart. The meeting was then adjourned until after dinner. Our sincere thanks are due the people of Kirkland township for the manner in which we were ■ hospitably entertained during that hour. In the afternoon addresses were made by the secretary, J. 11. Walters, Rev. Bicknell. B. W. Quinn. J. E. Stoops, and P. H. Andrews. We regret exceedingly that the space allotted to us forbids our speaking of these addressesWe learn that another meeting is to be held in that vicinity some time in September and our advice is: go and see for yourselves. J. C. F. Galbreath. Pres't. I. O. Jones, Sec y. We, the undersigned, on behalf of the Christian Union Sabbath School of Kirkland township, Adams county, Ind., hereby desire to return the thanks of the school to the speakers. R. A. Curran, A.

We also take this means of returning our most hearty thanks to J. C. F. Galbreath, our president, who by his efforts secured for us the speakers above named and who by his work made the celebration a success. I We also tender our thanks to,the other officers and the other schools j ; who assisted in the celebration. G. M. T. Houck > J. P. Jones. -Com. ! J. Ashbalcher \ Japesh Snow. Gunning Cove. N. S., writes: “I was completely prostrated with Asthma, bnt hearing of Dr. ThomI as Eclectric Oil. 1 procured a bottle and it did me so much good, that I got another, and before it was used I was well. My son was cured of a bad cold by the use of half a bottle. It goes like wildfire, and makes cures wherever it is used." Sold by Dorwin & Holthouse.
