died of Bright's disease at 5 o'clock
last Tuesday morning, after a protract

An effort is being made to revive
the Agricultural Society of this county

This is a matter that the farmers
should all be interested in, and which,
with a little effort on their part can be
made a success, and we hope to see
them Lako hold of the matter and
push it forward to euocess by having
one of the best county fairs this fall
that has ever been held in the state.
It can be done, and the farmom are
tho ones to do it. Will you take

G. W. Knight, Obs.
We notice that a few papers in this
congressional district, notably the
Qaxdte-Journal of Hastings, has com
menced to make a fight on James
Laird, presuming that he will be a
candidate for congress this fall. Mr.
Laird is a man of unquestioned ability,
and as such is entitled to a fair con
sideration should he be a candidate
for congress, and whilo we have had
occasion to censure him for a part wo
supposed he played in the local
politics of this county, we recognize
in Mr. Laird a man well qualified to
fill the office of congressman, and
unless a better man for the position is
brought forward the Chief may be
depended upon as one of his most
ardent supporters.

"Man," said the graft old Hobbes.
"is a fighting animal." He might as
well said that he m any other kiad of
animal, a worshipping animal lor in
atance.for man is a manyaided ani
mal. .But it u ducred it or disgrace to
him, 'under the condition of hu
growth to be called a fighting animal,
when we bear in mind that Moaea in
his song of victory declart that "Jeho
va" the almighty maker of man, "is a
man of war."
If in its origin and causes and occa
sions or conditions, war is evil, it is
not all evil, lu character w deter
mined by the purpose for which it is
waged. It ia good or bad lawful or
wrongful according to the motive that
impeU to it, and the object sought to
le gained by it. If thct motive be
brutish pugnacity or the mere love of
IHjwer, or a false senio of kingly or
national honor if the object be the
establishment and spread of power or
dominion, the acqui.-ition or extension
of territory for the gratification of
ambition, greed of paasetttiou or the
Hvengcmeut of fancied grievance,
affronts or indignities to a monarch or
a nation. Whether the motive be a
savage thirst lor blood, love of glory
or comment or greed of gain, the
motive and the end are bad, and the
war itself wrongful and evil. But
waged in self-defense, for the preser
vation of life and liberty and lawful
possessions, or in a word, waged in
vindication of eternal right it is need
ful and lawful and right.
The right of a nation to wage war
in self-defense or self-protection is
predicted on the right of each and
every individual in it to employ physi
cal force and material weapons for
self-preservation, involving the Bafety
and preservation of all those who are
naturally as endeared thereto as his
own life. If one of these be lawful
and right the other must be likewise
so. For a nation consists of individ
uals and if it be lawful for each to
act in tome given manner individually
it cannot be unlawful for any number
great or small (a family or a nation)
to act in the same manner conjointly.
And the right to self-defense, I might
say the duty of self-defense is based
upon the right to life and liberty.
The right to protect life and liberty or
self-possession is neceuarHy implied
in the right to have them.
If a man has a right to the life and
tho liberty wherewith his Maker luis
naturally endowed then he has a
righLJn order to the protection and
the preservation of the same to resist
every aggrewtion upon tho samo by
every means within his reach, at any
and every risk of consequence to the
aggressor. This is plainer than reason
or common sense it is sound animal
sense.
There arc evils in this world greater
than war or than tho forcible taking,
or self-surrender of human life. Be
cause the value of that life is not in
trinsic but conditional.
Wrong ever uppermost in the
world, right trampled under tho feet
of tyrants tho niayes of the people
subject to perpetual oppicors, bereft
of their liberty, in peril of their lives
and doomed by their oppression, the
Cains and Nimrods, to hopeless toil
in extrcmest penury and want for sujh
port and gratification of the few
would on every view a worse condi
tion a greater evil than war for the
purpose of human emancipation.
War is due to aggression and the
disposition among men to aggress on
human rights, and the aggressor is to
be held to account for it, and be made
to run all the risks and bear all the
consequences thereof. But for ag
gression on the natural rights of man
kind, i. e. oppression and tyrany, such
a thing as war would never have been
known in the world. Talk of religious
wars, of Christianity, audits, creeds,
causing ware and filling the earth
with carnage and bloodshed, it is all
drivelling nonsense. It is a foul ma
licious libel on that institution which
has done more to mitigate horrors of
war and to do away with it than all
other causes put together. The men
who brought wars about never thought
enough of their religions and creeds to
fight or to expose their lives to peril
for them. No, it was something olse
that kings and popes fought for
something to them far more substan-
.a a . - -
uai ana desirable even for prestige
and power and possession which they
arrogated pretensively in the service
of religion and the support of her
creeds, and zeal lor the creeds was
only the cloak the pretext under
which they disguised their seifiah
aims. Little cared they for the creeds
apart from the worldly advantages
which they made the popular rage for
the creeds the means of securing.
The Protestants and the-Puritants en
gaged in war it is true, but not the
creeds. The charge is a slander upon
them. It was for the right of men to
believe whatever they pleased or
oeneve notnwg whatsoever if they
pleased that thev fought. It wan
their prerogative to ight for it Who
would not fight for such an object?
Religious liberty k liberty ia mat
ters of religion, liberty ia regard to
them whether creeds or cetamonies
(liberty to iadividnels to act as they
please in regard to them) aat'k is
obvious at a glance that it implies
involves civil liberty and every other
kind of liberty. Liberty is liberty, an
matter what it may relate to. For my
religion aad creed I.woakl aever afht.
There is ao need of it. Bat for my

giTe yon death. While therefore a
proneneas wilt exist among men to en

there will be war. While man ia

industry and of his right to labor for
the benefit of himself and family of
hk labor, and in certain cases, of his
fife, there will be, there should be,

War will be lawful and ncceaaary.
Such is the nature of mau and such
the condition of his development
tli at but for lawful war, rolitanrc to
tyrany and oppression, such a benefit
as liberty could, as far x we can sec
have never been attained. uch
thing as freedom in thinking, believ
ing and acting would not be now
enjoyed. The atato of society would
be at present what it was wout to be
ages ago, tyrany and oppression )
consiating of two classes, master and
slaves, oppressors and oppressed, the
one altout as mean and bac and con
tetnptablc as the other. The lamen
ted old sage, Horace Grccly was com
pelled to acknowledge after a tour
through Europo and a ricw of the
etatc of society there that there was
tome tue after all for powder and lead
and steel.
Hence, though war has it primal
origin in unrighteousness and wrong,
war is not all unrighteous and wrong
it is not so on all aide. It hat an
other side or aspect there can be
such a thing as religious war. War
may have tcen, and may bo a condi
tion of good a benefit and a great
beneGt to mankind. And it ever war
was such, the wars of our own
country, the firt and last war which
was waged thereby were clearly aitd
indubitably of this type or character,
the first for liberty and independence
to our country and nation, and the
last for the life of tho nation and for
liberty to a large class of its popula
tion. And the one was necessary to
was the complement of the other. Of
little value or avail would have hcn
the first without the last. Thu last
was necessary to the vindication of tho
last or for our justification in pro
claiming and in waging it. Because if
our government had not resitted to
the bitter end the attempt which po
litical demagogues and traitors in the
south had made to rend this I'nion in
sunder and establish their own inde
pendence in eternal perpetuation of
human bondage or slavery, or had we
through remissness or cowardice al
lowed them to succeed wc would have
stood before the world convicted of
unworthiuess to be Tree and indepen
dent ourselves, our war with the
mother country would have been con
demned as unrighteous and hypocriti
cal as a gigantic crime against
human nature.
Nothing of which the nation could
have done would have expeated that
crime, or indemified the world for the
blood which had been shed and tho
lives sacrificed in tho conflict with
Britain. No degree of national pros
perity or aggrandizement to which we
could have attaancd, no amount of
cotton, rice and tobacco which we
could have raised would have made
that war pay. Our national life and
history such ft in that case, our
would have lccn. ttriild have made it
there arc who challangc the
position I have taken in this address,
not Britons or Southrons nor abettors
of the same, but northern Americans
Republicans and even good christians
who deny the right of men, cither as
indiviluals and nations to self-defence
or to employ physical force and mater
ial instruments for the purpose, who
hold the doctrine of nonresistancc to
evil in all its integrity, who insist wc
should succumb to every imposition
and suffer every ill treatment rather
than take up arms, carnal weapons in
defence of themselves and their fami
lies. In charging error of judgement
we by no means question their sincer
ity and purity of motive. We simply
dissent from the construction they put
upon our Savior's language touching
resistance to evil and tho position
which they deduce as a general con
clusion therefrom. Wc think the
construction fallacious, the result of
ovestraining the meaning, and the
position untenable, because flatly con
tradictory to his utterance on the
same subject on another occasion. It
cannot be that He meant to enjoin on
us a love for our enemies greater than
that which we have for ourselves,
that we should appreciate the life of a
blood-thirsty villianmore highly then
wo do our own, even when he is
making a deliberately premeditated
attempt on that life. Certainly the
life of the innocent is as valuble to the
universe as the life of the guilty and
the tanner has as good a right to hi.
life as a murderer in heart or deed has
to his, and if so the farmer has a right
to defend his life against the assaults
of the latter, even at the cost of his
life if necessary lecause incurring
the risk or the forfeiture voluntarily
and unnessesarily he alone is responei-
xor it. ATue, our Saviour loved Hk
enemies so as to give His life for
theirs, so as to die for them by their
own hands. Bat in that sublime self
sacrifce He is alone the only one ia
our world capable of it. And then He
had the power which wc hse not, of
taking again the life He had thai kid
down.

an influence on mutt they had to be
dcvelopod into n degree of strength
equal if not superior to that of certain
passion, which the iuttiurt of n'lf
hood or natural pxsion for freedom,
together with the intuition of human
right had to resist and hold in due
check by main force, physical force, in
order there might be chance nnd cojc
for the excrci-e of rntion.nl thought
.mil speech, condition essentially
roijuisito to their elocution. Became
tho f tower of thought nnd speech are
in the present state of human devel
opment and civilization adequate to
the maintenance of the entire of hu
man liberty, if such Ik: really the ra-r,
it by no means follow that thoy
would hare been so at the inception
of, or at a former stage in the proccs.
To hold that the power of thougit
when evolved could, prior to that,
have created the conditions rcqnWic
to its evolution is to argue in a circle,
or to put the vehicle before tho draft
force. There arc still condition in
the world, i. c in other land than otir
own, in which the only way in which
thought and speech can be serviceable
to the cause of liberty i a way pre
paratory to the employment of phyti-
cal force and material weapons, by
arousing the oppressed people to a
just sense of their natural tights and
ahjo of their grievances, so they shall
be induced to put forth eflbrta, the
moat itrrnuou efforts, reaort to force
of arms for breaking the yoke of their
tyrants, bunting the bond of their
thraldom and setting themselves ami
others free. The voice of the people
may suffice for securing to the people
their jat right in countries like thu
and England where that toice ha
become mightier than that of mon
archs and rulers, because the condi
tions afford full rcc vent for it. And
even then it is mighty as an evidence
of the corporate atrength of the people
in case of an ulterior resort. Bat for
the ftrestige and backing which phy.
cal power lends to speech leas cmjH
be said about its might. And while
we hope we are on the eve of tho
bleseed times when, in the word of
Holy writ "Nation shall not lift up
swerd against nation, neither shaii
they learn war any more," yet it caa
not be denied thai war, especially th
wars of our own country, hare playej
an important part proved aa esea
tial factor in preparing the way sir
the advent of thoe times. Oar wan
were not clannish brawla not wan
with men as sch not wtfb Batata,
not with the South, bat with srstl
principles, with wrong in power.
