AN ODD FISH

We have received the first No. OF the Pile
lonap, edited and published by Samuel PiIr, at
I'hc'on, Pie county, Ohio, upon the 'Tnin PIKE,
which crosses The Scio'o River, Astounding in lhat
queer fish called the Pr; The Court House in the
said Piicion, PIE county, OH the Tusn-PtIe ha"-
in. a noble PIE as 4 vanc, 10 show thai The
wiad M0ws in favor Of Pike all the time.
Amorg The advertising cards we find the fol-
lowing: samuel Pike, Plain and Fancy Job
Printer, and Sign Painter; "Pikelonan' Office,
Piketon Ohio" He seems 10 be an universal
genius ready, as soonas he dashc> oil a Wq-uanl
editorial no, only 10 show the "Sisns Of The
times" bu, 10 paint those signs in all The variety
Of colors and forms.
We like lie humor and spirit of this eccentric
genius. His paper eyinccs a strong mind, and
an indomiiable love Tor Democratic principles
Al his masthead flies The name 81 David Tod for
Democratic Governor OF Ohio i'll 1856, who was
beaten after gallant Struggle by BARLEY, Of
whose poor qualifications his own party IS
ashamed. The Editor says: ave were the first
10 raise his name after his defeat last year, and
will lie the last 10 descr; him. until The voice OF
State Corva..iv" stall Gct ~ u,n,. s...'....
In an admirable article, he casligaies those
Wings in the las Ohio Legislature who, in order
IL increase HE strength oil the Wing vote al The
en-, uing Fall Elections, made ian unhallowed al
;cmpl 10 bring about The repeal of all laws ma
king distinction on, account Of coor-s strong
ryertons were made 10 place The negro upon a
perfect level with the white man, and 10 mns'c
The children Of The one with the o:hcr in The com
mon schools Of cur county. Every nerve Of
Coon Whisgery was stretched 10 accomplish thIs
infamous Object, and The success Of the "dcecntg
ya,tun would have been certain, hadi not lecn Tor
The Iairhuness integrity, talent, and influence Q:
The Democratic members Of t.iat session; and 10
i$cm belongs the GLORY of having arrested The
deadly blow, which The entament Of such a
loalhsome curse upon The people OF this Stale
would have given 10 the rights and Liberties Of her
citizens"
We thank the Pikelonan Tor thus nobly WELD
inc its keen Pike against The miserable faction oil
Ohio political Aboliionisls
"Indced, il is nothing more than rational TO
supposc that Indignation, shame and disgust,
would seize upon The minds oi any people, after
The bold and unbluslins attempt OF Coon Legs
aiure 10 place The free and independent white Gill
zens of Ohio upon The same footing with The cbon
faced E,hiopians, who, through graduation ol
ages, exhibit now lille more fitness to ENJOY Inc
Blessings Of free Government, Than they did cen
turtles ago.
aPreemen Of Ohio, (whciher native born or
not, whether Wings or Democrats, will ever con-
lend against The evil Vaccinations of such soul
l.ss men rs those Wings who di>graccd The last
session Of the Ohio Legislature, by their efforts TO
bring about the immediate admission OF negro
children into onr common schools and The sill
more odious law which would allow negro 10
bear witness against white man.
aIn the common parancc Of The day, the .olers
Of Ohio have "goi their backs up in relation to
This matter, AMI the result will inevitably BE-, HE
Jel.at Of Whicgerv The ensuing FALL and
triumphant Democratic virIo[y throughout 1.-THE the
State. Mark The prediction ! Common sense
has mol set departed from The people, who are &c,
nerallv right in all they do, unless when msIed
hy arch knaves and political demagosues."
