CORRECT VIEWS.


The Mt Vernon Banner has the following article in.
relation to ladies attending political meetings which
meets our views exactly.
THE DEMOCRACY AND THE LADIES.
Our great Convention is at hand and thousands upon
thousands, are preparing to attendh
L We have been asked why do not the democracy in
ve the ladies 10 join their professions and cheer and
shout for their cause" On behalf of the Democracy,
we will answer. But we will first ask few questions
Is desirable that ladies should become potcians?-
Do you say yes? Ifs why have you not supplied your
moheT your wife, your daughters your sister your
"lady-lover" with speeches. documents, &C., &C.. in
relation 10 the us Bank, the tariff the distribution dc
&c. Do you say that you have done so2 Very good;
then have the stuton alterd obtain the privilege OIL
voting, for them; getlhem omoant the stump and 90 i
with yell?
Now we are inclined to think thai the ood taste and
delicacy of the ladies' would dictate another course.
But to the democrats and the ladies' The democracy
love ndeseem the ladies too highly in the beautiful
empire they now sway: to deseo see them removed 10
harsher, and less congenal sphere. They think that
if ladies enact the part Of men, they will loose the
charms with which nature has adorned them. 1t is not
because the democracy do not esteem and love the la
dies; but because love and esteem them too well, to
invite them to partake in the boserous war of politics

the following paragraph:

TIE DoRR MEETING AT PROVIDENCE.

THE DORR MEETING AT PROVIDENCE.
This grand meeting. took place on Wednesday. Sev-
eral steamboats, conveyed host Of sympathsers from
New York, who were received with cheers and accla-
nations of pleasure. An imposing procession number
ing $500 persons, was formed and proceeded 10 the
place selected for the meeting. 1t was mile to the
southwestern city on the hill at the rear OF the prison
where Doris confined When the main part of The
procession arrived upwards Of two thousand ladies Of
beauty and fashion were seated in front of the rosum
and the whole space occupying about acres appear
ed 10 be covered with anxious spectators
We gather these facts from an extra of the N. Y
Herald.
Gov Hubbard, Of New Hampshire, and Gov Mar
Gus Morton were among, the first speakers, and were
followed by Alexander Wells, Esq, of New York,
John Cotton Smith, Of Connecticut Charles Newman,
of New York; and others. The enthusiasm upon the
ground intense, and the presence OF such mass Of
ladies rendered the scene truly exciting.
1t appears however tha, the military were ordered out
by Gov. Fenner, an expense 10 the State of some
thousands of dollars and artillery stationed in the
yard fthe State prison where Dorr is confined. The
military companies were kept under arms in private
houses on the hill and did not exhibit themselves in any
manner to the indignant assembage. The whole al
lair passed off without any thing to mar the enjoyment

GA HOME MARKELL

The following, from The Loran Republican, dsposes
of the home market hambug in shor; order.
Much is said by the wings about furnishing home
market" for our western produce To show the utter
absurdity ofthis, let US ooka few facts and few
figures.
According to the census of lSi0 there was 81 ;343
persons the United States in the manufacture of wool
lens. Many of these are women and childrea.' Allow
ten bushels Of wheat to each person, (and the estimate
is liberal one they would consume 2l3 ,342 bushels.
By the same census we find that Franklin county raised
243 99I bushels OF wheat Now let us look at the
figures:
Amount consumed by woollen -manufae-
turers. cl3342
Amt produced by Franklin co. 2439Sl
subsfacted leave surplus. 3O67l
Thus one county in Ohio can supply all the manu-
lacturers of wooen goods in the United States, and
have 30,671 bushels to spare.
But farther The total number Of persons engaged
in the manufacture of cotton, appears from the same
census is 70, 49, Allowing each person to consume
as above 10 bushels ii would ameun TO 72l l9O bush
els per annum. The surplus wheat Of Ohio alone a
mounts nHnuallyto over 900 bushels. This il
wheat raised 10 SELL Now let us look att

Subslract this from 100000, and we have 1lO65,
