WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. l6.

GONG IT ALONE, AND WITH RUsH.-We
have heard of game that is sometimes played
by two persons who wish TO get themselves in
to notice in community, whichis ''as easy as
lying as Bill Shakespeare would say. and just
as creditable. The way lit is done is for
two to tickle each other through the public
prints, or in such other way as serves the pur-
pose. But until the Democrat of yesterday
made It's appearance we did not know that a
fellow could go it alone at the game. We find
in that print an article of the puff order that
beats our time entirely. One would suppose
upon reading the article signed an. p that
there is but one orator in all this section, and
more than likely there never will be another
unless indeed we call jim Wood some. OF
course we don't insinuate who wrote '.M F, =
certainly not, nor do we say who did up that
other paragraph, putting the pnffer-but we do
say that nothing so rich has made its appear
ance in this community during this canvass
and we dent believe it can be beat bad by the
Punfer Hopknses of any section. ''The editor

"No Principles. THE principles Of the
Wing party have ever been and still are the
principles of the Constitution. There was a
loud hue and cry in the locofoco ranks in 1910
and in 1914, because the Wings had no plat
form-''no principles" The same cry is now
again vociferously sent up. When Gen. Har-
rison was nominated in 1910, no resolutions
were adopted. None were passed when Mr..
Clay was nominated in 1874, and the Conven-
ton that nominated Gen. Taylor, following
these presidents, passed none.
The Locofoco convention adopt platforms
which their candidates are compelled to regard
as imposing superior obligations upon the Pres
Ident; obligations greater than his oath to sup
port the Constitution. Hence spring many of
the evils of mal-administration which afflicts
the country.

1A correspondent of the Washington
Union, in ali attempt to defend Gen. Cass for
signing the territorial law of Michigan for
whipping and selling white folks, says: There
are many, and am of the number, who do not
believe that thicf can be degraded by stripes. .
But why does this writer confine his remark
TO s.thieves2" Does he not know that there
were other classes of offenders which the Cass
law proposed TO punish with stripes and sla-
very? Does he think that men who spend their
money in a manner unsatisfactory to justice
of the peace are necessarily incapable of being
degraded by stripes? Does he think that poor
white men and poor white women, who may
chance to seem sullen or stubborn to their
naughty employers, are necessarily incapable
of being degraded by stripes?

that | did not ask Gen. Lane to say whether
he would vote for Gen. Taylor or whether he de-
sired hinn TO bea candidate for the Presidency,
but only to.say what kind of a President he
thought Taylor would make, and appealed to
the other two gentlemen present if the ques-
ton was not fair one. They decided that il

he has no love for them, and will not exert
himself fig to secure their election. On the
contrary, all his sympathies are with the Free
Soil and Free Labor men, and he will stop at
nothing 10 advance the interests of the new
party. Further than to vote for Cass and But

TEE RIVER AND WEATHER.-Last evening

feet inches water in the canal by the mark. On
the falls at noon, as we learn by Mr.. Lockhart,
there were 5 feet inches water in the middle
chute, and feet 9 inches in the Indiana chute.
During the previous "a hours the river had risen IL
inches. AT Pittsburg, last night, as we see by
our Geographic report, there were 10 feet water in
the channel and rising. AT Cincinnati, last night,
the river had receded inches. The weather
yesterday was cold and freezing, and tolerably
clear. The Peytona, Mohawk, and various
lighter boats came up over the falls yesterday
through the middle chute. The Western World
tried the Indiana chute several times, but was COM
PEELED to turn back and take the canal. She had
too much freight 70 come over
