before one of the Courts, giving publicity
to the following dramatic circumstances
out of which it grew: A certain young
and pretty actress. who, by shrewd man.
agemen, and economy, bad contrived to
lay up serviceable fortune, became in
spired with the unprofessionai desire TO
exchange her uDtrammeled celibacy for
an orderly marriage. Looking around
among her admirers, she cast hor eyes up
on young man Of honorable name and
connections, who, by a course of headlong
dissipation, had plunged irrecoverabiy in
debt. Her immediate resolve was to bring
about a bsrgain--,he payment ofhis debts
in exchange for the right to call herself
by his aristocratic name. Sure Of re-
fusal while he was in free air, she proceed
ed to buy up the claims against him, and
threw him into prison. Here he received
her conditional 6rst offer-'prison ofmAr>
riage iu exchange for prison of stone. -
The young man declined and still contin-
ues to decline the alliance, declaring that
she may deprive him Of his liberty, but he
will not stain the escutcheou of his family
by disgrancefdl alliance. Once mon th,
however, she calls aud repeats the offer,
aud there have been large bets, as to the
6ual result based on the probable strength
Of the love Of liberty.

COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Democracy of Wyandot county assem-
bled in Upper Sandusky, on Saturday the 9TH
instant. Never have we attended conyen-
tion where more harmony and general salts
faction existed than did there on that occa
sion. The countenance of every Democrat
present as cheering and bespoke much for
the future. William S. Green, of the tried
and sound De mocracy of old Crawford town
ship was chosen President, and Joseph Barnes,
of Jackson township, where last fall not
Whig vote was cast, Vice President. The Of
fcers well represented their respective town.
ships.
The nomination is composed of as good and
true men, and as capable as any in Wyandot
county. Their Offices, beyond doubt, will
be filed to the satisfaction of every citizen,
if they are elected, as elected they will be-
We rejoice at the very thought of having so
strong and good ticket as we have. Every
ma g, in our opinion, honest, is capable and
worthy the station for which he is a candidate.
1t is unnecessary to say any thing in behalf
of the old officers who are again candidates,
for they have been tried and found competent,
good and faithful. But as We have in nomi-
nation, two persons who were not before the
people on former occasion, it may be in
place to say, at least few words in their be.
half A. Lyle, the nominee for Prosecu-
ting Attorney, is young man of good abli-
ties, honest and in every way qualified and
worthy the station. To render Mr.. Lyle one
of the most prominent men in the country, is
for him to be acquainted with the people.
John Welch, the nominee for Commission
er is highly respectable citizen of this
county, and probably much better known to
the citizens of the county generally, than to
ourself His honesty and qualifications to fill
the office with ability are undoubted. No
man is better calculated for the office than
he is. These off ces. if entrusted to the
hands of these men will be honestly and well
filled. General satisfaction must be the re-
suit Of their Official acts.
Democrats, one and all, you have good
and let your support 30 such as
they merit; for if ever you had a good ticket
you have now. The nominations are made,
aud good and capable men are in the field,
so let all personal feelings pass by, if any ex-
list. Be united, active and firm, and victory
will be your reward.
