The Difference.

In very short time, the people Of
Ohio will be called upon to say by their
votes whether John B. Weller or Sea-
bury Ford shall occupy the Gubernato.
rial chair for the next two years. Be-
fore the people decide that question, il
would be well for them TO inquire which
Of those two men is most worthy to oc-
cupy that position which most worthy
Of their sutfrages.
John B. Weller has been known TO
the people Of Ohio for years as an able
and accomplished statesman, doing bat
tie in the cause of justice and right
His principles are known to the people.
He has proclaimed them upon every hill
top and in every valley in Ohio. He
would scorn to deceive any man for
the purpose of gaining vote. He
would scorn to conceal any Of his prin'
ciples from the people, believing, as he
does, that there is nothing in Democra'
cy or Democratic principles which re-
quires concealment. s#
How is it with his competitor, Sea
bury Ford? His lips are sealed, bis
hands are tied, his conscience held in
trust by clique at Columbus. He is
not permitted to act, speak or think for
himself; but is compelled to act, think
and speak by prory; hoping by con,
cealment, deception and trickery to i'm
pose upon the people Of Ohio; hoping
that the abolilionists will vote for him
believing that he is an abolitionists, and
hoping to get Taylor mems votes, by
the belief that he is Taylor man; bu'
it will be believe and guess with all who
do cast their votes for him. Is their Q
man in Ohio who will sell his vote a
such price? II so, he is truly prepar
ed (as was stated by delegate to the
Philadelphia Conventlon,) to cast hi:
vote for big buck negro to defeat the
Democratic nominee. The vote o
such man the Democratic party doe!

telligent portion Of communty-,hos'
who despise trickery and concealmen
those who DO not want Governor
who would govern the great State o
Ohio by prory, are expected to vote fol
John B. Weller.

Gen. TAYLOR never Surrenders.

Gen. Cass, when selected as the can
didale Of the Democracy, resigned hi,
seat in the United States Senate, and
retired TO private life, as did Gen. Jack
son in 1925.
Gen. Taylor is the whig candidate
for President, yet he lives in a house
owned by the government--draws his
pay for servant hire, horse feed, fuel,
&C., besides some 90 rations per day.
To this he clings with pertinacity, for

The Washington Union OF Tuesday
last, concludes an editorial with the
following remarks:
"The diIapidated condition and i'm
pending fate of the whig party present
an impressive and salutary lesson to the
unprincipled and profligate in politics.
Such men forget that the Almighty
rules the world in justice. They for
get that men cannot ip morals or in pol
itics, violate his laws, without incurring
measure Of punishment commensurate
with the wrong which they commit
They cannot trample upon truth, wheth-
er religious moral, or political, without
bringing down upon their own heads
the evil which results from such viola
ton, and evil results ultimately from
every act Of wrong doing. For one, /,
we scorn and repudiale the Infamous
maxim that "all is fair in politics." We
believe that nothing is lair in politics,
but that which is founded on great prin-
ciples, on truth, on justice. 1t is upon
that foundation we will ever stand or
we will cease to be a politician. We
certainly envy not the predcament of
the whig leaders and their candidate?

IRISH INSURGENTS -BRITsH GOVERN.
MENr.--The government of Great
Britain, in order to cut off the chances
of escape Of those who are suspected
of treason, has placed war steamers in
all the principal ports Of Ireland, with
directions to follow vessels bound to
America, and to suppress communica,
ton with the shore and coasting craft.
The fast sailing bark Barbara, lying. at
the last accounts, in the port Of Gal
way, waiting wind to sail for New
York, appears to have been an especial
object of attention. A war steamer was
placed within haiIing distance from
her, with orders to proceed to sea and
accompany her three hundred miles.
She had been searched by the officers
of government three times. while get
ting ready for sea, and four or five per-
sons who had engaged passagefor New
York, arrested, and taken back to j;il.

Trains for Santa Fe and chihuahua.

A gentleman who arrived at st.
Louis a few days since, informs the
"Republican' that on his way from
New Mexico he met over one thousand
wagons in different trains, bound Tor
Santa Fe, Ell Paso, and Chihuahua. =
Nearly four hundred belonged to the
government, and were laden with sup
plies for troops in that region: the bal,
ance to traders, and were filled with
merchandise for tie different points
named. But few days before the
gentleman left Chihuahua. train OF
two hundred and fifty arrived from the
States, and large train, bound out, was
not met in consequence of It's having
taking the Bent's Fort route. The
past is said to have been very profi;a-
BILE season. A large amount Of goods
has been taken into the country and
sold at high prices; but it is thought
that the increase in numbers, and the
unusual quantity Of merchandise now
on the way thither, will make it to those
last in, something Of hazardous spec
ulation.

The true friend of peace is he who

The true friend Of peace is he who
prevents war, by timely precaution
and foresight. An exchange paper
says, with great deal Of force
There can be little doubt that Gen.
Cass, by defeating the quintuple treaty
between England and other European
powers--designed to place in the hands
of that crafty and ambitious nation the
trident of the seas-saved his own
country from the expense of an Euro
pean war. Had England succeeded in
negotiating that treaty, she would un-
doubtedly, backed by the navies OF Eu-
rope, have endeavored to enforce on US
those doctrines Of the right Of search,
the assertion of which was the chief
object of that treaty. Such an attempt
would have been repelled with all the
power Of the United States. War
would inevitably have ensued-a war
for the supremacy Of the seas-a war
OF long duration and of terrible feroci-
ty; for while America could float a
plank or point gun. she never would
yield the liberty Of the seas, though the
world we're in arms against her. Gen.
Cass, by defeating that iniquitous
scheme Of British aggrandIzement, pre-.
served the peace Of Europe and Amer
lea. He has won the title Of the Pa.
cficator of both continents. '-.i
Though distinguished in his shor,
military career by the qualities which
indicated the possession OF all the quail
ifications which form the great Cap
tain, he has still more brilliantly dis
tinguished himselfin the cause peace
The civil laures he has won as the ad
vocate of peace, will be green in the
memory Of his countrymen as long as
civic virtues are priced, or civic
achievements are valued.
