A Coon ExAMrLE.-On the 22d of February
last, says the Urbana Citizen, the Locofocos o.
Loraiu county. Ohio, held meeting and adop
ted the following among other resolutions:
Resoired, That will use best sfforts &c
sustain our county paper--by paying promptly
our subscriptions, and obtaining new subscribers
for the same.
That's a sensible resolution, and If The locos OIL
Lorain have heretofore acted upon that princp pie
it will satisfactorily account for The rapid increase
in that county. Lorain, we believe, was the
first county on the Western Reserve that yielded
TO the influences OF Locofocoism and the secre,
Of their is. that they almost TO u maj sup.
port their own papers and spare neither pains nor
expense TO disseminate their principles. They
are better politicians than the Wings. They
know that a we'll conducted political paper, n.
sianily read from year 10 yenr. has a much more
salutary influence the mind, Than n ,housa nd
frothy and Inf1ammatory stump speeches during q
political canvass. What class Of politicians is i,
that are always found at their post ready for ).
toni Is IL the ignorant and unnformsd--those
who take no pains TO enlighien themsel"oo in
gard TO passing events aud political affairs? Or
is il that class who regularly read the political
history Of the day, and itch with argus eye the
NOV ements OF the respective parties, and the in
hucnce Of their action, for veal or NO, upon the
destiny OF their State country? An answer
to those questions is unnecessary. We leave
cry one TO answer them for himself.
Clermont Courier.
G.rWo commend the above remarks the
rious and earnest consideration Of the Wings Of
this county and Congressional District. Without
arrogancy, We believe that however humble the
talents displayed by the editor of a weekly news
per, the intelligence he disseminaies, be it
on the eide Of morality and virtue, or correct pc.
lticaI principles; be it for the purpose Of in
culcatiog pernicous doctrines in religion--de
structve or erroneou sPrincipIes in political
my, or to advance the selfish interests of the de-
magogue, the power OF the press is potent and
efficient beyond what is generally believed
Tho happy result Of the glorious campaign Of
1910 was brought about by the energy and in
fluence Of the Wing press. Does tho reader sup
pose tina, if the corrupticns of Mr.. Van Buren's
admin istration had been permitted to pass unno-
ted by tho press--that if the ex;ravagance and
partizan character Of that administration had
not been exposed TO the people by the Wing press
Of the country, that MIR. Van Buren, would have
been so signaliy defeated? No one believes it.
Corruption and reachery have again entered the
head OF the government--and il is now, neces-
sary as heretofore, that the people should know
Of the country.
ROBERT DALE OwEN.-Our snaPpish friends,
the locofocos, are now soft sodping tho character
Of this notorious individual with such profusion
Of soft soap that would suppose they have
not only free to the far. famed "soap facto>
ry'' at Brooklyn New York; but have engaged
in the preparation of the material in various parts
Of the State. White-was him over gentlemen,
but we tell you now, soft soap Won't save him
Mr.. Owen is held up pure and perfect Dem
ocrat --as a friend of the people, and as one who
will bow down before their will, regardless Of his
own opinions and Of self few years since MIR.
Owen was an associate editor Of the Free Iuqu-
rer In the l2th number of tho second volume,
page 90, Mr.. Owen in speaking of the people, the
samc donr people, for whom he now has such an
81 prefer the consciousness that, by unvarnish-
ed honesty, shall aid in advancing the great and
permanent interests Of truth, to the qualification
Of obtaining praise and applause from genera
sion, ,chich, in the mass, NEITHER ESTEEM
FOR ITS INTELLIGENCE, NOR RESPECT
FOR IT'S GOOD FEELING"
This same Mr.. Ow en- is before this same gene
ration, asking them to bestow upon him their suf-
fsace.. Will he now tell the people tina, he has
.esfeesn for their Intelligence" By no means
bu, he will cajoIe them with smooth tongue and
hypocri,icai heart.
Since penniug the above, We have seen it sta.
ted that Mr.. Owen declines being a candidate
We know not whether the report be true or not.
II true, we regret it; because he could not be e.
lecied.
