''ln Ohio an extensive division in the

The radical Democrats, with the elO.

that the Ohio stock holders have Iso little
confidence in their managers, that they

The USE OF the TERM EsoUIRE Till
a recent period, this term was affixed
to the names Of men Of birth and pro
lessional persons only. Men of inferior
importance had Mr.. prehxed to their
names, and thus a distinction between
the two classes were kept up. Now it
is quite customary to add ESQ" 10 the
names Of the better class Of tradesmen.
when they are addressed as private per.
soRs. It's a triAe, yet il might have
been better if the old rule had been ad-
hered to; for, in the first place, the ex-
tension Of the term is dramatically
wrong, seeing that it is only applicable
to men entitled 10 bear arms, and in the
second, if there is any honor in the ap.
Pellation, 4 is right that the superior
class should have it, in which case il
would serve as one Of the incentives
which work upon the ambition Of the
mercantile classes, prompting them to
tae industry which leads to honours.
itappears, however, that the tendency
Of honorable terms is ever, like that OF
glaciers, downward. In the seventeenth
century, in Scotland, the term Mr.. was
reserved for clergymen, barristers, and
other persons Of consequence, while
the mercantile classes only bad their
