Itconsists simply of a list cfsonic of the measures begun consum-mated under his administration of twoterms, just ended, tho greater part ofwh'C'i may be said to be justly dueto more or less of the personal effortsof Governor Hayes :
Agricultural College Cf tablised.A reform school for gi.ls establish-
ed.An Orphan Home for children of de
ceased Union soldiers and sailors established.
A Geographical Survey of the Slateentered Upon and progress made.
The policy of providing for all ofthe insane of the State, chronic aswell as reCcnt cases adopted, and anenlargement of the Asylums, togeth-er with the removal out of the cityofColtimUus of the Central Lunatic As-ylum, authorized, to carry out the policy.
The extension of the Penitentiarywith a vieW to an improvement ofprison disclpliue, and the classification of prisoners, and the abolitionof the degrading lock step, and theuse of conspicious striped garmentsin the prison.
The placing on a permanent footing, with the means for greater usefulness, of the Board of State Charities.

Tire' Vice Presidency.The name of Ex-G-ov. Dennisonhas
been presented and urged by severalOhio Republican papers as a candidate for Vice President This is by nomeans surprising. The past promtnence or uat gentleman, both as astatesman and a Republican, verynaturally suggests such a thoughtWhether in the State Senate, wherehe appeared some 25 vears since ; asGovernor of the State in 18G0-G- 1 ; asPostmaster General under Johnson,until compelled by a sense of duty tothe country, the party and himself, toresign ; or as a no uie , nrm and unflinching advocate of Republican prin-ciples and policy ; he has in all posi-tions and places done credit to him-self and State, and is thus entitled tothe honorable reputation he enjoysWithout here undertaking to discussthe relative claims of individuals orlocalities, we deem it entirely safe tosay, that the nomination of Gov.Dennison would give general satis-faction to the Republicans of Ohio.Toledo Commercial.
Murder of an Ohio Man iu Tcnn.es---see.
From the XashTille Union, Jan. 23.
Friuay afternoon Andrew Martina quiet and peaceful old man, wasmet on the public street, in the mainportion of Tullahoma, by a despera-do and notoriously bad character nan-e- d
W. R. Darwin, who, before hardlya word had passed between them, de-
liberately drew a pistol and shot himdead in his tracks. A number of menwere near by at the time of the mur-der, but they knew the reckless char-acter of Darwin, and he was sufferedto escape without arrest He ranthrough the street with a revolver inhis hand, and before a sufficient num-de- r
of citizens could be armed to fol-low him, he got into the bushes anddisappeared. For cold-bloode- d dev-ilish atrocity, this act stands nnparallcled in the history of Coflee County.Tullahoma will not soon recover fromthe shock caused by the unprovokedmurder, committed on its main thor-ough fare, in broad daylight.
JJr. Martin was an inoffensive,harmless old fanner of that vicinity,and was respected by all who knewhim. He came from Ohio aboutthree years ago.
Darwin is a youth not more thantwenty years of age, and was broughtup at Tullahoma. About eighteenmonths ago he was arrested on thecharge cf highway robbery , and on-ly esc ped conviction on some technicality of the law. He is now atlarge, but it is hoped that means willbe used to bring him to justice.
Hex. Jaes Brooks, the leader ofthe Democracy in the lower branch ofCongress, and a bitter antagonist, inspeaking of (he Syndicate the otherday, said "that the credit of theUnited States i higher now than itwas before, even when we were try-ing years ago' to negotiate a four percent loan." This is no frivolous ac-
knowledgment ot the Republican par-
ty's management of the finances ofthe country.
The President has directed the At-
torney General to instruct the dis-
trict Attorney at New York to pro.cure indictments against any onewho or received bribes,as shown by the testimony at theCongressional investigation.

- Stephens on Grant..t; : ' '.,. The Atlanta iV"w Era reproducesMr. Stephens' opinion of PresidentGrant,- - which mnst be red hot rend-ing under the winter Sun of Georgia ;
In his work entitled "The WarBetween the States," vol. II, page5'J7, Hon. Alex. II. Stephens says :
I was instantly struck with the greatsimplicity and perfect naturalness ofhis manners, and the entire absenceof everthing like affectation, show, oreven uspal military air or rutin in hisposition.1 here was nothing in his appearanceor surroundings which indicated hisofficial rank.
His conversation was easyand fluent, without the least effort orrestraint In this nothing was soclosely noticed by mo as the pointand terseness with which lie expressed whatever ho said. He didnot seem either to court or avoid con-versation, but whenever he did speak,what he said was directly to thepoint and covered the whole matterin a few words . 1 saw before 1 waswith him long, that he was exceed-ingly quick iu perception, and directin purpote, with a vast deal morebrains than tongue, as ready as thatwas at his command. Themore I became acquainted with him,the moro I became thoroughly im-
pressed with tho very extraordinarycombination of rare elements of char-acter which ho exhibited.Upon the whole, tho result of thisfirst acquaintance with Oeneral urant
was the conviction on mymind that, taken all in all, he was oneof the most remarkable men I hadever met with, and that his career inlife, if his days should be prolonged,was hardly entered upon ; and thathe himself was not aware of his nowcr, and if he lived he would in thefuture exert a controling influence inshaping the destinies of his country."
Greeley aud the Cincinnati Convention.
The New York Timet in an at tidereviewing Mr. Greeley's article ontho proposed Cincinnati Convention
Republicans" says:It is undoubtedly the purpose of
the Cincinnati Convention, if it evermeets, to do what it can to defeatGen. Grant's rcnomination ; but itspromoters are by no means ready, as,yet, to commit themselves to thenomination of another candidate.They would prcier to nre tueir gunlike the sportsman Mr. Greeley oncetold about, who aimed to kill hisgame if it proved to be a deer, but tomiss if it proved to be a calf. Theywill name some one else if they thinkthat will destroy Gen. Grant s prospects ; they will omit the nominationif they think the Regular Conventioncan be made to servo their ends.Whatever forlorn hope of gratifyinghis cherished ambition Mr. urcclcymay have rested on the action of thishypothetical Convention must, therefore, be tempered by attention to twofuels ; it may never meet, and it maynot suit its managers to name him orany one else for tho Presidency if itshould meet
- The New York Herald considersthe Tribnne views as the contractedview of the mere spoils man, anddoes not cover the ground, and saysfurther :
Outside of Missouri, we suspectthere are very few anti-Gra- nt Republicans who are not disappointed officeseekers. Nor have we bad, so far.any movements in behalf of this Cincinnati Contention outside of Missouri.
From prC3cnt appearance", bowever, tho Cincinnati Convention willbe a fizzle, like the Independent Conservative Tyler Baltimore Convention of 1844, and the Cleveland Ant- i-Lincoln Republican Convention of1864, and the Andy Johnson Phila-delphia New Party Convention oflSGC7and without doing much, it willprobably adjourn to meet again at thesame time and place with the regularDemocratic convention. And ascverv man who goes to this Cincinnati council of Republican soreheadswill be taking a new departure, it isprobable that except the Missouriout-an-d outers, most of them willstay at their home until they can makea pretty near calcmation as to wiucliwill be the safe side,- - on the principlethat
While the lamp holds oiit to burn,The vilest sinner may return.
S. Easton. in a recent Commnnication to the Cincinnati Commercial, inregard to the father of PresidentGrant, says r
Now about the' pav f Mr. Grant saidany help he got had to be paid byhimself, out of his own salary, andthat is no event should t&e Govern-ment pay a cent. It is only on theseConditions that I consented to occupythe place until Mr. Grant could getabout and attend to his businessagain. If my servives are worth anything, I think no one has any causefor compminl.
If you win excuse' me, I would saythat I do not see any reason in findingfault about Mr. Grant holding on tothe Post-office- .- nfs son did not ap-
point him,-an- he, I know, will neverturn him out; find I think GeneralGrant's refusal to do so is a credit tohim, and an example of regard forfather worthy of being followed.
Yours respectfully,SIIADFORD EASTON"
Good occasionally comes out ofevil. A vounsr man employed iu theXenia powder mills was in springfieldto spend the bunday, got drunK, overslept hirrisclf, and miased the trainMonday morning. Had he kept soberand been at his worn on monaaymorninrr. his fragmentary remainsmight have been gathered up iumarket basket after the explosion.

THUKSDAY, FEB. 15.
F. CUNEO,EDITOR AND ritOWJHCTfl.
The Amnesty Bill was defeatctothe Senate the?tlief day. TUis'4sattributed to the fact that. Sumner'sCivil Rights Amendment was attach-v- d
to it. We hope ' that Congresswill not adjourn without passing a
general Amnesty bill as recommend-ed in the President's Message. Weshould be glad to see Sumner's
also triumph in some way.
If Congress adjonrns without passing an Amnesty bill they will com-
mit a grievous blunder.It should be borne in mind that the
Democratic Senators voted againstAmnesty and Civil Rights the otherday. This was to be expected.
ltKFOKM, &c.There never was a time in this
country when corrupt officials weremore successfully detected, arrestedtried and punished than now. Theefforts of the Government to puritythe civil service will be highly ap-
proved by the people. We freelyacknowledge that corruption in of-
fice . exists ... . and every effort toroot out dishonest, unworthy andincompetent official has our approv-al.
But we would like to see some con-
sistency. What confidence can thepublic have in the man who is con-
stant! prating about intemperance,while his moral character is a publicstench?
The truth is that corruption existsmore or less in every society and de-
partment of business. Do we nothear of defaulters in religious as well
as political service? Do not badmen hold high positions in church aswell as in civil government ? Do notmen frequently prove dishonest asTownship. County and State Treas-urers? Have not secret associationshad occasions to regret that theirfunds were placed in the custody ofcertain men?
And does not experience alsoprove that men, who have crept intooffice by virtue of their loud profes-sions for retrenchment and reform,
. have turned out the grandest scoun- -
T l, m : o 1
of the advocates of reform, who wereelected at the last November election,have been convicted of corruptionand are now serving their betrayedconstituents in jail !
And there is one grand system ofcorruption in our State to which wewish to direct the attention of thepublic. We mean the "Public Print-ing" If the people of Ohio knew theamount of money that has been stolenfrom them. under the guise of ''Pub-lic Printing." they would be aston-ished. The county printing is givento the Editor who docs the dirtywork of the successful candidates,And as these successful officials wantto reward said printers, for the dirtywork performed and also for print-ing their tickets and puffs, out of theCounty Treasury, they use every jobof printing as a pretense by which topay, under the guise of legality,three and four times as much as suchwork is actually worth, and the inno-
cent people foot the bill: . So. it iswith legal printing. Men who haveoccasion to go to law and Jegal no-
tices are .required, they frequentlyfall into the. hands o unprincipledpublishers who make them pay out-rageous bills, because the litigantscan't help themselves. This matterof county .printing ought to be . gov-erned by law. The law "should pre-
scribe the manner of publication andthe price to be paid for it SenatorJones, of Trumbull County, has in- -
trouueea a Din, naving tor its aimthe correction of some of the evilsthat have thus crept into practieeand because of his efforts in t is di-
rection, the very men, who are loudest in denouncing political corrup-tion au'i advocating retrenchmentand reform, brand him "A damnfool." Is this right ? Let the peopie remember that corruption existsIn their local affairs, right at home, aswell as a thousand miles off... Letthem also remember that it is in theirpower to root out this corruption. Ifthey will lay wide their prejudicesand select for Dositions men vimnave buowu integrity ana .apuity inthe management of their own business, tbey will soon see a handsomereduction in their tax bills. We saywatch eorruptiomsts abroad andwhile you intently do so. don't overlook those at your doors..
Pbestoeot urant receives- - morecompliments from life long, consistent and dfetisquished Democrats thanthose political bummers, styling themselves "Liberal Republicans" are will
ing to concede to him. Mr. Beck(Democrat), member of ' Congressfrom Kentucky, indorses the President's Indian policy ia; tk67foJlowinffempathiclangauge :
"I think if theiF resident is sustained in his policy, and it is carrifMr out.we shall have an improvement in the- -
management of the Indian far exceeding anything we have ever had in thiscountry on that subject from any
hand that feeds him," but he shouldhave added, no . more than Cuneoshould find fault with us, by opposingwith all our power, the ofHon. John blierman, expecting byhis (Sherman's), defeat, we wouldhave the inside track for the nextterm of Postmaster of findlay, for if,as DeWolfe states, Cuneo has "ampletime, askle from his P. O. duties, towrite a few locals and copy a few
it is reasonable to supposeho (DeAVoIf) would surely find ampletime also, for he has now an associateeditor to assist him in copying edi-
torials from other papers, for whichthe Jeff, is so famous. DeWolfethinks "the sit" is an agreeable one toCuneo, and ho evinces his satisfactionby growling ferociously at every indi-
cation of a change," but it appearsthat he (DeWolfe) evinces his dissat-isfaction by growlinglouder at the in-
dication of no change, by which hishopes are blasted. Mr. Dewolfe evidently considers himself all powerful,and could crush poor Cuneo at will ;but then while he is strong he is mer-ciful, for ho "would not be so cruel asto wish to dirturb Cuneo in the en-
joyment of his postoffice." How veryconsiderate of him, and how happywill Cuneo be at that assurance, forhe (Cuneo) would certainly trembleat DeWolfc's displeasure, and whocould have him removed, if he (De-Wolf- e)
so wishes Let us hope he willcontinue to be so magnanimous withpostmastors in other places, and notseek to distaurb them nor their depu-ties, and try to create some fault. Butthat cannot be expected ot him, forto disturb the Upper Sandusky post-master could avail him nothing, whileit may ultimately avail him some-thing to distutb some other postmas-ters. Mr. DeWolfe is "of the opin-ion that he is fully as well acquaintedwith the sentiments of the Republi-cans of Hancock county as Mr.P(ostoffice) Cuneo. It he ishe grosslymisrepresented them ; but we musthave more charity for him, and be-
lieve he is not more (if as much) ac-
quainted wit their sentiments as Mr.Cuneo ; but to take either born of thedilemma, we think Mr. DeWolfeshould give way tor some one that isacquainted with the sentiments of theRepublicans of this county, and like-wise represent them, so the sooner hesells out, the sooner will we be repre-sented.
Mr. DeWolfe makes a confessionfor Mr- - Gage, that he (Gage) "didvery wrong in failing to consult MrCuneo in regard to casting of bis votefor Senator." but then with that feeling of meekness and submission, (forwuich he is noted 1, be also apologized lor him, that he (Gage) "meant noslight at the U pper bandusky Jr. M."Now, in justice to DeWolfe, Hon.John Sherman should also franklyadmit that he (Sherman) did alsoapologize to DeWolfe that he meantno slight to him, and had he (Sherman) known. the ability and influenceor the Jen. and its editor, he certainly would have done so, "for the Senator will feel very badly" when helearns he incurred Mr. DeWolfb displeasure. - A Republican.
AMNESTY.
Remarks of Senator Sherman.
From a speech made in the UnitedStates Senate, on the 6th inst, bysenator auerman in lavor or amnesty, we make the following extract :
While I am up allow me to expressmy surprise that any further opposition, is maue to amnesty, w uy, sir.the 14th amendment articipated thatthe time would speedily come whenamnesty would Decome either gener-al or unversal. It provided that bva simple act of Congress, voted bytwo thirds of each House, disabilitymposed by that amendment might be
removed ; it might be done in wholesale or in retail. The debate on theamendment shows that the time wassoon anticipated when the States, beome all represented amnesty wouldbecome first general then universal.lbeparty platform of the conventionwhich nominated the President of theUnited States declared that amnestyshould be granted as soon as the public satety would allow. ihe course ofpublic opinion ia this country hasgone further ana further in favor ofamnesty. The House of Represcntalives nave twice, dv a vote unprece- -dentedly large, sent ns twe bills ; thelast more liberal than the first showing tbe march-o-f opinion. They arefresh from the people of this conn--try.
br eaking of tire people- - of rs-- ownState, I can sy that there is-- a gener-al feeling that the limitations imposedby the 14th amendment ought to belargely extended. Early in the recentcanvass, where public matters werefreely discussed, I stated my positionin favor of a litrsre extension ofamnesty, as large at least as that pro-posed by the house bill, and I severheard a murmur of disapprobation. 1believe that the general sentiment ofthe people of our country is in favorot it 1 he President of the UnitedStates, in his recent message, calledyour attention to the subject matter,and expressed his opinion in decidedlanguage. From every sourco ofopinion, from the newspapers, thiscry comes op. Why, sir, take theconversion of my friend from Penn-sylvania Mr. Scott, appointed to goto the South to examine the moat
f hideous outrages that were ever committed against the-- form of humanity.Be reports to us that a a mere mat-ter of publie policy, for peace and or-der in the South, this pretext for vio-lence and disorder should be removed. This feeling has now beeomegeneral, arad I do trust that the political campaign that is about to be inaagurateu win ue commeneed by aliberal and generous act of amnesty,1 would not make it universal I be-
lieve that the House in the first billhave substantially hit upon the propec medium. They have removed alldisabilities except frm those whowere prominent in the rebellion ; thosemen who violated their oath of officekere- - in the Senate and in the House
The Official Paper of tho County.'I From thet4tio State Journal,!
January 30rlS72.TO TOE XJItO STATE JOURNAL : - -
I lihvc read S. B. No. 17 by Mr.Jones of Trumbull relating to printing legal ndvcrtistnents, and I have
2 lit it a good thing. 1 thought,as I read it of Mr. Dodds of Hamilton. You remember Dodds, a clevergentleman, bokl and fearless but never regarded by his friends as recklessuntul he introduced a bill into theHouse similar in import to this billof Jone's. Alas, poor Dodds ! thatbill fixed him how the little "officialpaper of the county'? went for himKnave, fool, swindler, were thenames applied in one "otlicial paperof the county down in bouthernOhio. The Jackson Standard eventried "sarkasm" and wound off alongtirade of abuses bv a feeble effort atridicule, and nominated Dodds forCongress. But to the bill well itdied. "The official paper of thecounty attended it in its last mo-ments, and laid its cold, cold corpseaway to rest"
"The official paper of the countyis an institution. It agrees with thecounty officials in politics ; it knowsits friends, its friends often own stockin it: it not 'infrequently "docs dirt"for those who feed it It is a cheapinstitution from one point of view,and very dear from another. Itsbrain nower is freauentl v furnished bvsome illiterate blackguard whose literary attainments consists in copy-ing out of party organs such articlesas it thinks applicable to its readers,without giving credit, and would killa respectable journal in three weeks.Its morals are generally on a parwith its brains not always sober,seldom decent and never honest.Impudent insolent and vulgar, "theofficial paper of the county" forcesitself upon society, and sticks like alichin, because it is the official paperof the county."
The sheriff inserts all his legalin it, as does the auditor,
treasurer, commissioner, &c., and itcharges what it pleases, because thereis no statute fixing its fees. Thesheriff's fees are fixed, as arc the feesof other officers. A juror sits all clayfor a fixed sum, and a witness is draggcd into court for so much per day,but "the official paper of the county"is unlimited in its extortions, andcalls public printing a "fat take."
1 have in mind a case in whichlands lying in adjoining countieswere sold on order of Partition. Thelands sold for S7085 ; the printer'sfees amounted to the modest sura of$592.50 in one county, and the sameamount ia another. An ordinarytypo could have set the matter in ada', and the space in two small "off-icial papers" would have been dear toany merchant as an sdvertising medium at twenty-liv- e doilrrs each forfoor weeks; yet the unconscionablebill was taxed in costs allowed andpaid out of the estate. In ordinarymatters a man can make his own contract, or law savs what shall be paid.In this matter he cannot say anything
he simply helps feed "the officialpaper of the county" helpless in thegrasp of the law and the officer.
Ihe sheritl s printing! What abone of contention with county papers. Why? Because for a dollar'sworth of labor they get ten to thirty doLars pay. If legal printing wasdone at "fair and reasonale" rates asother printing is done by county papers, it would be worth no more thanprivate advertising. .
Why is it not done at fair reasonab'.e rates? Simply because legisla-tors fail to do their daties iu this be-
half. Members arc afraid of theblowing up or the "olllcial paper
of the county" which they represent:They are afraid of the "fish womanslang" of the aforesaid "official paper." They know that the aforesaid"official paper of the county" wotljdbe in the grasp of the sheriff in ashort time, but for the enormousstealing off the people . They know(many of them) that the "official pa-
per" is a leeble thing with no merit to. commend it to the thinking.moral or respectable portion of community and et they say the "organof the party" must not die. Betterin many counties of the Mate drawfrom the poor fund to feed the
mangy pauper" than to have it liveby robbing the few. Let the taxcome on the duplicate and fallequitably, rather than flay the uufor- -
tunatc, that is if the thing must besupported. But there are alwayseditors and publishers in either honseto look carefully to the early extinguishment of any measure looking inthis direction. Lobbyists are there',
the official paper of the county"comes in with its howling, whining,and abuse from every corner of theState, and thus the measure so muchneeded fails to pass and become a law,the evil lives on amid tho corruptionsof its friend and the weaknesses ofits enemies it thrives, fattens andbecomes more insolent and oppres-sive.
"The official paper of the coun'y"grows more exacting to the shame ofthe State and the disgust of honestfolks who are being swindled, andhaving their substance eat out bytuose same illiterate news monger?.'who nave only sense enough to knowwhen they have a fat thing, and lackthe decency" frequently of beingthankful for it. All- - "official pam-pers ot the county'' are not of theclass mentioned. There are respectable journals published in the coun-ty towns or Stale, but they will notcomplain at being asked to work orlair and rcasonablo fees. Besidethey are exceptions to the rule therule being that a little half starvedeo-nm- paper, ns many oi menu, are
edited by uneducated, course, vul--g- ar
boors, as many of them are is acarse to the community in which it isrutmsaea. Hence they ean t livewithout the public pay being pouredinto'tuenj in the villainous way inwhieh it Is done, and the sooner theyuie iue Dctter.
now, ir 5. is. number 17 is notright let it be amendedlet there be
hundred men in the United States are.excepted ; all the rest are relievedfrom disability. Why not i The Re-
presentatives from, the SouthernStates, ono of whom Mr SawycrJsite in the chair, ask this of you. Whyshould a man who held a Postoffice,or other local office, in ono of theSouthern States.and thereby was com-pelled to take an oath to support theConstitution of the United States, andbe excluded from an amnesty whichhas been made so ceneral? Whyshould he be deprived of the powerto hold a Federal or local office ? Ishe more guilty than his neighbors ?Is the fact that he was intelligentenough to hold a petty office a rea-son why ho should be punised, whileall around him are free ? The - Presi-dent of the United States states thisobjection strongly and well. No;Senators, my own deliberate conviction and I rarely take part in thisclass of debate is that we had betterunite these two measures together,make the amnesty large and liberal,and then, in the same law, passed bythe same majority, give our sanctiontoapunciple that will give everyblack man deprived of the commonrights of citizenship and equality theright to sue for his injury, and alsothe right to appeal to the criminallaw. Let amnesty and justico gohand in hand.
Sir, the great war is over. Wehave almost recovered from the evilsthat grew out of it. . The eraves ofour dead heroes are sinking now tothe level of the earth. Our debt,which hung like a hydra over us, isnow in such a shape that it no longerneed frighten the most timid manOur finances are rapidity becoming ina settled condition. We have nothing to do but meet the interest of thepublic debt Let us now, at this moment, before we got to our people oncollateral issues, settle, so far as wecan, all the issues that grew out pf thewar. I appeal to those bouthernmen who call themselves Democratsto take this general principle contained in the amendment of the Senatorfrom Massachusetts; give to the fourmillion black people in the SonthernStates the right to ride in your cars,the right to stop at your inns, theright to go to your schools, and theright to worship God in your churches, take with it amnesty to the greatbody of these who are now excludedfrom office in the bouthern MatesWhy not ? As sure as the earth lollsin its course, as sure as time advances, every negro man in the SouthernStates will have every right securedby this amendment. You can not resist it. The spirit of civilization andprogress demand It No law can bejustified or maintained that deprivescitizens of the United States of rightsso common and simple as those secur-ed by this amendment '
On the other hand, whj should wekeep np this discrimination betweencitizens who are no more guilty onethan the other ? Why should wecontinue now, seven years after thewar was over, provisions made as amatter of temporary punishment?The debate on the 14th amendmentwas considered, and acted upon, andvoted for in Congress, it was suppos-ed that when all the States were re-
presented, when all the States werein their places, when every districtspoke by the voice of its member inthe other House, all these measuresthat grew out of the war would passaway. This provision of the 14thamendment was only a part of thescaffolding of reconstruction. Reconstruction itself was but the tempo-rary outwork within which the tem-ple was to rise to the sky; and thisclause of the 14th amendment aboutdisabilities was a part of that scaf-folding. Strike them away, and wehave a magnificent country, with ourpower demonstrated, our wealth increasing, our industry prosperous,nothing but to march forward withconfidencCjWith hope in the future.
Going to the Devil. ;
, If ever a party in this country wason the road to the devil, the Demo-cratic party is the one.
The sad, humiliating and demoral-izing spectacle is to-da- y presented ofmore than a million and a half votersin this country, each and every one aDemocrat, groping and feeling theirway blindly through a well trackedforest Some going this way andthat; some to'lhe right and some' tothe left, listening to the spasmodicshouts and bleatings of pigmies,mounted here and there on stumps inthe wilderness, endeavoring to pointthe way they know not themselves !
The Democrats of tho county aredivided into ring?, factions, cliques,combinations,- - hold-bac-ks and go--aheads, till their progre8 fastest ofbeing straight ahead like a grand army on its triumphant march, is hereand there ; this way and that way ; alittle to the right then a little to theleft ; then to the north or. south, in azig-z- ag course, then traveling all dayin a-- cirtre no one of the partyknowing where its final1 destination isto be.
Sheep without a shepherd ; soldierswithout a general ; wild geese, without a leader 5 patriots without principles, following the lead of the noisy,blatant, platter bramed demagogues,who essay to be Democrats but whoare not inasmuch as from the veryfirst dare not place confidence in .themajority fairly express- - it voteagainst them as leaders.
It is recorded in sacred writingsthat work on the Town iif Babel wassuspended when there camo a confu-sion of voices. So has the march ofDemocracy been most effectivelystopped sinee there came such a confusion of commands, such contradicttion of general orders, such lettingaown irom principle as . has charac-terized thr Demoeralie party for thepast three years.
