DECENCY AND RELIGION.

As or example of the respectful which the wings
hold the memory of the lamented Harrison, we
publish the following beautiful specimen from the
columns of the National Intelligencer, a achig pa-
per- 1t exhibits in glazing nakedness, at once their
utter contempt Of morality and religion, as well as
their reverence for the memory of the object OF
their alteration in 1910. 1t will be recollected
that in 1910 the whig party. under their idolzed
champion, Harrison, claimed for themselves ex-
clusively all the "decency, morality and religion;'
and yet, but three years have passed away, and
while his memory is yet fresh in the recollectons
of the people, an advertisement Is published in the
columns of whig paper, to gamblet0r h'stu'n'-
tare While the sod is yet fresh upon the grave
which encloses his last remains, and while we
have but just begun to realize that he has passed
from amongst us, this sacrilegious profauation OF
his memory comes to us to heal the wounds when
his death inflicted upon our hearts. Read the fol-
lowing from whig organ, and judge who are the
"moral, decent and religious"

PROSPECTUS
OF
THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY
A ,Oeekly Journal,
TO Re PUBLISHED. IN wo0DsFIED, OHIO.
By JAMES r. MoRRIs.

In assuming the control OF a public
Journal, custom renders it necessary,
that the Editor should point out the
course he intends TO pursue. In ac-
cordance with this usage, he will brief
ly say, that he intends TO advocate
the measures of the Democratic Party;
and that he will inscribe on his BAN
ner. as the voice of Ohio, the name OF
MARTIN VAN BUREN,, for Presi:
dent of the United States, Subject to
the decision of National Conventlon0
and the name Of DAVID TOD, as
the Democratic Candidate for Govern
or of Ohio. In doing this, the Ed
itor flatters himself, that he meets the
appreciation of the Democracy OF
Monroe County, 81
In addition to the most important
News of the day, both Foreign and
Domestic, the paper will contain the
usual entel tanning and instructive va
iety. One object, which the Editor
will keep constantly IN view, AMI O.
which he hopes never to loose slghti
will be to guard the interest OF the
Farmers, Mechanics, and Working
men generally, in relation to their
rights and the duties they owe to
themselves and posterity.
The Congressional and Legislative
news will be given in the proper sea-
son; and all laws affecting township
officers will be published, each year,
before they arrive for distribution.
The Editor has at considerable
expense, purchased a new printing
press and materials, and therefore
asks that his feeble exertlons to please
and inform the public, may be met ye
corresponding liberality on the part
ofhis fellow-citizens, who are the
friends of LIBERTY and EQUAL RIGHTS.

How to make an Unproducing tree
Bear.-A lady of our acquaintance,
(says the Reading Gazette) took us in
to her garden, few days ago, where
we were shown an appIe-tree she ln-
formed us had been planted for ten or
more years, but had never till lastyeur
borne any fruit. In looking over an
old volume, she accidentally met with
what purported to be a remedy for this
unproductiveness, which was simply
to cut from each limb, close to where
it diverges from the trunk, a piece OF
bark about four inches round the limb,
one inch in width, and Immediately re-
place it by tying 1t on with rag until
it adhered again. Early last spring
she tried this experiment upon the tree
we speak of, leaving, however, two or
three limbs untouched. The result
was that in the autumn it was tllled
with apples but it was worthy OF re,
mark, that those limbs only which had
been cut, bore fruit. The operation
is very simple, and as it has proved
successful in this instance we have nc
hesitation in recommending its trial IN
similar cases.

A SOLEMN DUTY.

1t is the solemn duty of every demo-
crat to forget every thing in the effort
to push forward the glorious cause Of
equal rights. We would say to our
friends; bury your personal antipathies.
Rise above all considerations of self
Regard alone the great end of our po-
litical association, and show yourselves
superior to the unworthy motives
which too often govern men. He who
regards the contest as involving great
interests and great and paramount prin-
ciples, willfind noble and lofty impulses
to guide his action. Never yield to
mere personal preferences or sectional
iealousies. DiStrust the man who ap-
peols to your preiudiceS and not your
reason.-Dem. Uniom.

TuNE-OM Rosii the Bo,c.
If e'er conclude to get married,
And certainly think may soon,
The lad that give my fair hand to
Shall not be fussy old coon.
He must toll in the great undertaking,
Be stirring by night and by day
And vote gainst that Demon of Evil,
The reckless and bad Henry Clay.
In the heat of the contest no fllnchlng!
But firm for the land and the laws,
The lad that will win me must battle
For the good old republican cause
Though his locks may be brilliant as morning,
His countenance fair as the moon,
In my heart there's no place for tory,
DO you think / Itcouldmdrry cooN'
Now look to it well ye young gallants,
The times will admit no delay,
Would you win the frank heart OF this maiden
You must work 'gainst the debauchee Clay
Then I'll tender my hand at the altar,
To one who is able to say,
The battle is fought my beloved,
And we've beaten the dissolute Clay

The approaching campaign is of the
utmost Importance to the safety, liber-
ty, and welfare of this government and
people.-The old bargain and bargain
ers of l824-5, between Adams and
Clay, must all come under review. and
the people must again decide that ques.
ton, and the thousand other questions
now connected with that black and
corrupt act, such as an assumption of
State debts, as decided upon by the
Maryland elections, and Il resolution
just introduced into the Pennsylvania
Legislature-a U. S. Bank. &c. &c.
The times demand that every man
should do his duty--that every repub-
lican should be at his post-ihat truth
should be scattered wherever error is
found. We issue our Campaign Paper
to meet the wants of the numerous
CLUBS that have desired information
on the subject.

this Union depends on your exertions

A Tribute to Washington.--ln the
course of speech recently made by
distinguished member ofthe Irish Bar,
Mr.. Whiteside. one of the council OF
the accused in the State Trials at Dub
lin, he thus eloquently alluded to Wash
ington:-
"He would ask, was the name of
Washington, with those friends who
freed and blessed the world, to be put
in competition with those who Insulted
and ensavedi it? Were they to be pla-
ccd on a level with that of the insatia-
bic Napoleon, or the rank hypocrisy
and cruelty of a Cromwell? Were
such men to be put opposite to him
who throws the brightest characters OF
antiquity into the shade? He would
have supposed, had he lived under the
old dispensation, that his position
would be that ascribed to him by the
poet-surrounded hereafter by virtu-
Gus spirits, giving laws to the assembly
Of the iust-and now it could be ina
gined that from his inefiabe felicity. he
beholds the results ofhis g lorious labors
for the liberty and happiness Of man.
His great ambition was to preserve
peace, to give freedom, and to spurn
those glittering baubles of this world
which hold so many by mad ambition;
thus to trampIe under foot the liberties
ofthe human race, and to place in jeop-
ardy their immortal souls. 1t might be
necessary to make the subject of study
that of the tyrant Nero, the prohigate
Charles, or the tyrant james; but would
any one hold them up as models to
speak in favor of the high prohlgacy
of places, which corrupt morals and
which endanger public vlrtue?'
