THE COoN HUMpUG.

Wel this ,cas 10 be, mighty affair has disaupea red
and with it, aboutthe last hope of whiggery in Ohio.
The high built castles Of "FARMER CANDL
DATE" was nearly frustrated by the dandy lawyers,
who ticked the rank aud file with live coon. and
mimic Indian Chief, with songs and nonsense, while
they cunningly arranged the nomination. 1t served
them right and we hope it will awaysso happen when
working men suffer few cunning lawyers and mer-
chants to lead them by tn, nose afler ary wild varmint
they may pick up in the woods. We say we are right
glad that FARMER FISHER is defeated although he was
unquesonably entitled to the nomination. having been
the second highest on the vote at the 10th Of January
convention But when farmers and working men suffer
themselves to become the mere puppets OF designing
lawyers bankers and merchants, and whoop and halloo
about the streets like savages while the nice sleek gen.
emen, are smiling through their windows at the hum
bugey they have gotten up, it serves them right that
they are riGked to their hearts content as they have
been in this nstase for ii could not be disguised that
the "under CRUST were ior Fisher strong Let aboring
men assume that dignity and Importance that they are
entitled to in public assemblies and they will be respec
ted, and feared, too.
That the nomination 6f Mr. BARLEY has given more
pleasure to the democrats than to fire wings very ev
dent ana proves that at all hazards the whgsaTe desr
Gus of throwing the election back on he coalition, bar
gain SALE and coffin handbil era of 1924 and 49, And
there is no oher Issue on which we woud preerto fight

We should not wish to see any thing more leless
than the entry orhe canoe from Licking with live coons
and full dressed mimic Indian with Sam White in
front 1t did not take at ALL aud they left amey this
morning, theeooa gone and the Indian descrtcd The
canoe from Mt Vernon was still more of funeral pro-
cession and the horses looked aded to the last breath
Tie only persons who seemed to really enjoy the
Sport were the democrats If this is specimen of ls44
they ought be beaten more than they beat us in ls4O
The City Hall held all who attended the Convention,
with great ease Hence it was not more numerous than
that in Broadway, on which is-"The principles Of
Henry Clay-may they eclipse the U. States" They
will eclipse the whig party first think from appear

ToTHE DEMocRGra OF ONO, we say, in all sincerity
all is right We have buto will it to carry the State
We have but to act and act determinedy and the vic
tory is ours. This humbug No OF the wings is worse
than the first. We never felt sronger-never saw our
course clearer-never felt within more Of that conf
dence which inspires to action-thar at this moment
Organize the documents-let light and know

OMENS ANDACCIDENTS.

Onthe day ofhe coon convention four horses attach

animals might at the attempts at fooery of the coonS,
and ran over the imbers of the Nsy KoOn Kub House
as they went down Market street, under full speed but
no serious damage was done. t&
We should feel happy Il We could stop here, buiws
have more melancholy tale to relate. As company
fthe song-singng rowdies left for the west, on Me
morning after the convention, and some distance BE-
yond Franlnton on the National Road they scared The
horses of Mr.. Wilson, of Little Sandusky, who was
returning home from wish TO his friends with hiswfe
and child, and upset his vehicle, and killed the little
child, carried in its mothers arms The child lived on
ly short time after the accident and the unfortunate
parents left for their home, taking their dead child with
them. We have these facts from the physician who
was called to see the child as il was expiring. o

with Temperance Gfebier's Songs in full glee.
We admit that it was some sign ofreturning shamel
when they shrunk from the light Of day to carry on their
orgies.
We are informed that one Of the canoe delegates from
Mt Vernon, declared that if he got home safely he
would never be caught IN such another scrape,
