1t has been recently stated in the newspapers
that the Hon. b. F. Butler, of New York, was on a
journey to the Hermitage. One Of the expana-
tons of the object of this journey is thus stated in
Pittsburgh paper:
Afterth result of the Connecticut election was
aSceriained, Mr.. Van Buren,, disheaItened by the
disastrous defeat of the Locofoco party in that
State and Maryland, and in the town elections in
New York, despatched MIR. EX-Attorney General
Butler, his bosom friend, with message to his
friends at Washington, committing his case into
their hands, and expressing his willingness to
relInquish his claims TO nomination ii the in
terests' of the Democratic party in their opinion,
demanded the sacrifice. AZ Washington as the
story goes, the scheme was then concocled, with
Mr. Van Buren's consent, Of course, 10 make an
attempt to induce Gen. Jackson TO permit his
name to be used by the Baltimore Convention as
the candidate for President, with Mr. Van Blu

Messrs Editors; ...
Saturday the 10Th inst. was great day for
the wings of Warwick township. For some weekshele
were hand bills sluck up at every public place in the
township inviting all to and hear The principles
Of The two parties discussed. Having some busi-
ness in town, went to hear what they had 10 say.
The first thing noticed crowd of speculaors and
idIers (of which we have not few in Trenton stand
ing before The tavern listening 10 The songs Of old
drunken coal digger. Five or six farmers stood near,
who appeared 10 be talking about their crops The rest
of the farmers and working mon amongst the mis-
sing but boat load and several bugges full of the soR
fngrcd gentry of Dover and New Phil delpha having
arrived, the number would do for township meeting.
About o'clock the great Head Of The Wings in these
parts, marshaIed them 10 the Lutheran Church. They
chose for president man who their CHIEF said two
years ago too mean man to be Justice ofthe Peace
and did all he could prevent his election, but all his
boascd influence woud not do, there being good many
immoral in and about Trenton so they stuck ogstl'

FEDERALLIE,S EXPOSED.

In column of slang about the Congressional Candi-
dates the last Buzzard states a falsehood in relation
10 Dr. McMeal which we take occasion to nail 10 the
counter as base SANDER. The Buzzard among other
things says that Dr. McMeal look this 'press from a
Lumber room in 1910, started it," kept it going &c
This lie was no doubt started to inue the Dr. by hold
ing out the idea that he had been attempting bribe The
press 1t is about equal 10 another coon fasehood
have heard which, is 'ha the Dr. furnished US paper
TO print on for whole year &c. In justieeo Dr. Nc
Meal we brand these two stories false in every par
ticuar From the day we commenced printing 10 this
lime the whole sum that lie has paid to or for The
Ohio Democrat for himself does not amount to fifteen
dollars. Six dollars Of that was paid in money 10 u.s.
and the balance another person for us. And thai is
all that DR.. McMeal has ever paid 10 or for the Ohio
Democrat for any purpose whatever Now what must
honest men think OF the base villaines that would hatch
up such falsehoods, when they know how easily their
lies could be exposed. Let any one get his slate and
see whether years subscription 10 newspaper and a
number of advertisements would amount 10 Is dollars
or NOT and he will soon how much of bribe that
was. That the Dr. got us subscribers we admit so did
scores fohers but il he or any other man ever furnish
ed us with dollar for which they have not received
value let them come forward and say SO.
