THE ONO PREss-This is the title of SEMI
weekly journal, established at Columbus, by Eli
Tappan. Esq, son of Hon. BENZ. Tappan. The
causes which have led to the establishment of
this new organ of Democratic principles, at the
seat of government, had their origin in crcum-
stances anterior to the 9th of January Convention,
and it is unnecessary now to allude to them-
We give the prospectus of the new journal in to-
days paper, and heartily recommend it to the
support the friends Of sound principles through
out the Northwest The Press is radically Dem.
ocratic, and will prove powerful lever in over
turning the destructive rule of federalism in our
State. We make the following extract from the
EDITORS declaration Of principles:
For many years after the last war, The
people of this country were welded to a
paper currency. The banks have repeated
ly.inundated the whole land with floods OF
pfomissory notes. And as often has their
blighting effect upon credit and upon com
merce swept over the.country, until we have
been compelled TO gain knowledge by ex-
perience. We have learnt slowly, paricu-
larly in Ohio. After the great explosion
which took place in 1887, the democratic
party raised the standard of bank reform.
We have endeavored 10 compromise this
question, we have tried to mend the banking
system, to reform paper money. But we
have seen that the evil lies in the very nature
Of paper medium of exchange; it is fcti-
tous, false aud intrinsically worthless. II is
always essentially fraudulent, and incapable
of reform. 1t corrupts those who are con-
nected with it, and holds out premium for
rascality to its makers, which few Of them
can Withstand. Itmakes dishonesty respect
able, and by this means removes one Of the
greatest checks upon crime. And we have
learned that these are its natural qualities,
in whatever form it may appear, or in what
ever manner the system of its production
may be reformed. We have seen the wide
spread arrangements of commerce, caused
by its unnatural expansions and contractions,
we have seen the mania for speculation and
the habits of prodigality caused by the facii-
ty of obtaining credit under an inflated cur
rency, we have seen the consequent ruin
and devastion at its sudden collapse, we have
felt the effects of varying prices and of de-
precated and worthless notes, and we have
witnessed the nnumerabls cases of fraud
and crime among those, whose capital is a
fictitious credit, and whose business tran
sacions are founded upon violation of all
the laws of trade.
We have been taught by this hard expe.
rience, and we have "resolved to return to
the constitutional currency of gold and sol
ver."

THE RIGHT SPlRIr.-In the discussion of the
Oregon question, in theiHouse of Representatives,
Mr.. Chapman of Michigan. rather eccentric
but able speaker, MAJ de the following remark. 1t
is brim full of the right spirit which should ever
animate genuine son ofliberty: IN.
Shall we (sad Mr.. c. take peace as the price
OF conceding our rights! I'appeal to high Hea-
ven that, if British feet were anchored off here
in the Potomac, and demanded of us one inch Of
territory, or one pebble that was smoothed by the
Pacific wave into child's toy, upon penalty of
an instant bombardment, would say, fire!

ARIsToCRAcY-Is defined by its original
Specification as the rule of the wiSeSt But
the word in this country has no such mean
ing. When an aristocracy is now spoken of,
it conveys the idea of class of purse-preud
men, who have got rich by means which,
though acquired within the letter of
the law, is wholly beyond the pale of
high-toned moral code. The term is also
applied to men who by the privileges of
chartered monopoly have come to possess all
that industry wins, through comparative idle
ness. Wisdom, however, is in no sense,
characteristic of modern aristocracy. Folly,
conceit, insolence, and selfconsequence far
better define its character. The change of
meaning is significant. In some way or 9TH
er ability has ever been the price of power,
and though great influence and rule may,
from usage, for time be confined in the
hands of inferior men, revolution becomes
inevitable and sweeps away the useless and
incapable into their natural obscurity. Our
money lords-the Rag Barons of America
had better prepare to die with decency.-
No rule founded on the possession of wealth
alone can be permanent, and though they
may number few exceptions, human intel
lect will sooner or later assert her just place
in the destruction of their ill-gotten power.

M1ssIssiPPI.-Gov. Browns able Message We
find in the Mississippi Democrat. Flo gives the
state debt at $2,OOO,OOO, upon which the accum-
ulatsd interest is 1882, 500. The annual nte-
rest of Sl05,O0o, he states that the present
tax is sufficient to meet, and ho recommends that
appropriations be made for paying the bonds a.
they become due, as we'll as the interest. As
Mississippi isrsing from Representation by banks,
her power and will to redeem her engagements
increase. In relation to banks, Gov. Brown takes
the true Democratic ground.
Unfortunately for the stability of our in
stitutions and the safety of society, political
communities seldom profit by the experience
of the past. The lessons which were
taught us during the banking mania in this
State-the deep and vital wounds which
were inflicted on the morals and good order
of society, will be entirely forgotten in the
lapse of few years. Whilst the recollec-
ton of these events are fresh in our minds,
it will bs we'll if we make an enduring re-
cord of the hostility they have engendered
to banks and banking; and to this end / ad-
wise an amendment of the Constitution, for
eper prohibiting The establishment Of banks in
this Statc.'' -

Fowler g. Wells.
This unpretending work gives the philosophy
of Phrenology in tn he improvement Of offspring.
Most works upon this subject have perncious
tendency, this the work before us isentirely free
from. A more simple, yet forcibls appeal for
moral purity, or better reasoning to prove that
6 virtue is its own reward'' we have seldom read.
The authors theory is that the right exercise Of
all the faculties, giving ascendancy to the moral
and intellectual, is the best and only method Of
transmitting to offspring an improved organiza-
ton. He also attacks some Of the conventional
hsresies Of society with earnestness and vigor---

s.MR. Brown OF SENRcA."-There ore a class
of politicians who, from possessing merely mega
tive qualities and tolerabe business talents, have
greatness thrust upon them" or in other words
are sometimes in the contests between men OF
character and intellect for nomination, lifted
from merited and natural obscurity to hold public
trusts. OF this character is Daniel Brown, and
in this way, we are informed, he has been
placed in brief authority, to show in greater pro-
minence the mistake made in selecting him.
Trusting to his own insigni6cance and influenced
by the Establishments Of the Wings, he has been
extremely forward to aid them in perfectng ma
nv of their narrow political schemes. AS an in.
stance: For political purposes bill to erect the
new county Of Cass has been passed by the
wings, with view to cut off from Columbiana her
democratic majority. This bill was passed in op-
position to the remonstrancss Of more than athou-
sand majority Of the people to be affected by it,
and Of every representative having local into
rest in tn. question, yet Brown uoted for it. Bus
his Wing subserviency did not stop here. The
new county was baptized with the name OF that
gallant soldier and patriotic statesman. CAss, but
the whig party could not rise above the meanness
Of petty partizan spite, aud the name OF Cass
,oas stricken out and Mahoning inserted, for hs
also, Brown votcd! and yet he has not the man
hood to 20 frankly over to the wings, with whom
alone he has any sympathy or feeling! If this
had been solitary act we should not have allud-
ed to it, but there has not week passed that his
anti-democratic votes have not been recorded. aad
we say it, fearless Of contradiction, that ii the

TOLEDO AND MAUMEE.-These two towns are at
present applicants to Congress for Legislative
assistance, to build them up more rapidly than
the natural course Of trade and business is likely
to do Some time since an enterprsing citizen Of
Maumee forwarded to us memorial, asking the
National Government to appropriate a sum Of
money to improve the navigation Of the Maumes
Rivor, fortified by very strong reasons as mea-
sure Of military preparation. We showed it TO
number of our citizens, who, however de.
clned signing it, as they did not esteem it at all
necessary. The same reason applies, though not
with equal force, to the proposed establishmentof
Naval Depot at Toledo, for which memorial
has also been got up. Toledo from its local posi-
ii RERGb become great city independent Of any
| D. ~ bald; and there is less necessity for
anxiety On the part of Its citizens for such favors.
We are free to admit that while, from principle.
we are opposed to the increase of these items OF
expense to the General Government, whersit can
possibly be avoided, in the case of war, or the;
reasonable prospect of such an event, Toledo
has superior claims to any other port in the vicin-
ity Of our northern Lakes. The expenditures Of
the National Government on our northern Lake
defences, have never been extravagant; but we
fear, from the spirit of the Memphis Convention,
that check is absolutely necessary to prevent the
ascendance of the extravagant schemes o: in
ternal improvement, which, under pretsnce Of pre-.
yiding for the National Defence have already
proved throughout our Union SO fruitful source
of bargain and corruption. But these move
meats do not present such pressing and abso.
lutte necessity as demands Congressional interfs-
renee at the present time.
