attempting 10 ridicule the Scriptures. Among
other topics he made himself merry with the
STORY of David and Goliath. Strongly urging

able to throw stone with sufficient force to
sink into the giants forehead. On this he APP

1t hath been said-for all who die
There is tcnrj
Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh
". Der every bier -
But in that hour of pain and dread
Who will draw near
Around my humble couch and shed
One farewell tear ..
Who watch my lfe's departing nay
In deep despair
And sooth my spirit on its way
With holy prayer
What mourner round my bier will come
In ''weeds of wo,"
And follow me to my long home
Solemn and slow .
When lying on my clayey bed
In icy sleep,
Who there by pure affection led
Will come and weepj
BY the pale moon implant the rose
Upon my breast,
And bid il cheer my dark repose-
My lowly rest .....
Could but know when am sleeping
. ..r Low in the ground
One faithful heart would there be keeping
Watch all night round,
AS if some gem lay shrined beneath
That sod's cold gloom,
'Twould mitigate the pangs of death
And light the tomb.
Yes in that hour if i could feel
From halls of glee
And Beauty's presence one would steal
In secresy,
And come and sit and weep by mo
In nights deep noon
Dh would ask of Memory
No other boon.
But all q lonlier fate is mine
A deeper wo
from all love in youths sweet time

Draw round me my cold robes of white
In a dark spot, might
To sleep through Deaths long dreamless
Lone and forgot.

Speak kindly TO her. Little dost thou know
What utter wretchedness, what hopeless wo
Hang on those bitter words, that stern reply,
The GOLD demeanor and reproving eye.
The death steel pierces not with keener dart
Than unkind words in woman s trusting heart,
The frail being by thy side is of finer mould;
keener her sense ofpain,of wrong, greater her
love of tenderness. How delcately tuned
her heart; each ruder breath upon its strings
complains in lowest notes ofsadness, mot heard,
hut felt II wears away her life like deep
under current, while the fair mirror of the
changing surface gives not one sign of woe.

Eng offer to young man =
"'Make," SAID he, ga full estimate of all you

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The time for holding the County Conven-
ton is at hand, and it becomes every Demo
crat to be present and represent himself
Look at the approaching campaign-the pres
ent situation of our State. without district
ling law--the rotten condition of the shaving
shops-the many foul deeds perpetrated by
the Wing leaders, and you will see great
cause for speedy and determined action
The people should seize the power delegated
in them and carry out such measures as will
place them upon an equality with Office hold
ers, bankers and the aristocrats of every de-
nomination. They should claim and have
established to power of electing all county
officers, even up to the legal minded
Clerk!'
Then let US urge upon the Democrats the
necessity of full turn out on TUESDAY
EVENING NEXT, APRIL 25th, to transact
such business as may come before the con-
vention. You are aware of the state of af-
fairs and know the necessity of speedy
action, therefore, do your duty.

DON'T TELL WHAT WE DO.

There are some men here as elsewhere, that
esteem their reputation so highly that they do
not want their acts made public. They dispose
every thing like an attempt to strip them
the robe of religion under whichthey cover
inlquity, and still claim the privilege of hold
ing up to the public the wrong acts OF others
Lake the serpent Of old, they would sting to
death every man who does not believe and
act as they do, if they did not fear punish
ment Why do that which you will not per-
NIT others to do Why are you less criminal
for holding up certain acts of your nelghbor
as irreligious than your neighbor would be in
holding up acts of your own as irreligious
The only difference is one processes to be
that which he is not while the other makes
no professions. With some men, profession
is every thing and possession nothing, as ev
cry days proceedings show.

MORROW BETTER THAN EVER.

The news from this new county is better
than was at first supposed. The Marion Mir.
ror says, that the official vote insures the
election of Mr.. Kelley, who was thought to
be defeated. This is good news. May the
Democracy of Morrow ever elect their whole
ticket. May they each contribute to the sup
port ofa thorough going democratic press. To
keep up press in new country it is necessa-
ry for the men ofthe party to which it belongs
to make some effort to get for it a living sup
port. The expense Of starting paper is far
greater than persons unacquanted with the
printing business suppose, and the paper be
ing one of great Importance to the party, is
entitled to good support, which can gener-
ally be secured by the members of the party
doing their duty.

THE ELECTION.

The election for borough officers came
off in this place on last Saturday, and result
ed in the choice of the following persons:
Mayor-Wm. w. Bates.
Recorder-Jacob M. Juvenall.
Trustees-David Ayres, John Wilson, s.
WINERY, John Kays, VIM. Beals.
The Mayor and two first named Trustees
are Democrats and the rest Wings. If the
Democrats had done their duty the whole
Democrat ticket would have been elected.
Our candidate for recorder was defeated by
one vote and two of the trustees by two votes,
and the other one by or votes. We have
the strength to elect our whole ticket and the
Wings know it now. And after the Wings
came out as they did the Democrats ought to
have stuck together and elected our ticket.

The citizens of Valladolid and Izamai

early IN March they began to despair OF

upon falling back on Merida, and thus
take up new line of defence, and ,hls
purpose we presume they executed, for
lhe next we learn is that a host OF lnd ians
had surrounded Merida itself-report sets
their number down al fifty CIR SIXTY thou
SAND. These may be exaggerated, bu,

aud their seems no hope for the Spanish
race unless the authorities of Havana IN
lervene IN the most strenuous manner.

terribly ahrghted for tneir persvnalsaie

he would IN no event evacuate the island
not even if peace be made between
Mexico and the United States. They Sc,

COUNTY CONVENTION.

To The Democracy of Wyandot County:
The present condition of affairs, make it
the duty of the Democratic Central Commit
tee of Wyandot Co. to call Convention, and
invite the whole Democracy to assemble in
UPPER SANDUSKY, ON TUESDAY
EVENING, the TWENTY FIFTH DAY
OF APRIL, in the COURT HOUSE, at
early candlelighting.
Let this call not be heard without hearty
response, for the Importance Of the business
to be transacted-your own political rights
and freedom, demand the attendance of every
Democrat.
The Wing majority of the Senate of Ohio
acted upon an Apportionment Bill, without
law-without quorum, and contrary to the
plainly expressed declarations of the consti-
tuition, and ask you to elect under this pre-
tended law. Will you do 1t! Will you sub
nit to the tyranny Of those who have violated
the constitution Of the State, and would sac
rifice your freedom for political effect! Let
not such be said Of you while you are enti-
tied to the name OF 1reemen.
The Democratic State Central Committee
has made call for a State Convention, to be
held in Columbus, on Wednesday the 10Th of
May, to establish some mode of action in the
approaching campaign; and it essential that
our county be well represented, which can
only be accomplished by full county Con-

gether, for there is wisdom in much council

Dear Sir:-Your favor of the 9TH Is be-
fore me; and in reply to your inquiries rela-
tive to the removal of the Land Office by the
President from Upper Sandusky to Defiance,
will state, that the President informed me
that this matter had been Brought to his no.
tice by petitions; and that he submitted the
same to Judge Young, Commissioners of the
General Land Office, who made out report
of all the facts IN the case, and recommended
a removal of the office to Defiance.
The President stated, that after a full ex-
animation of the matter, he was satisfied the
convenience of purchasers of land required
removal of the Office; and that he had made
the order for the removal without consulting
any one except the Commissioners report, SO
well satisfied was he with the proprie,y of The
measure. 1t seems the ammount of unsold
lands in what was the Bucyrus District is
SO, ,972 I5-IOO acres, and the ammount in the
Lima District is, 490,33s 33-l00 acres.
The order for removal was made without
consulting myself or any other member OF
Congress for the reason as above stated, that
it was the convenience of the public alone
that influenced the President in his action
So soon as learned that an effort was maxi
| ing for removal of the office, called on the
President for the purpose of preventing any
action j. the matter But so strong was the
conviction of the President Of the propriety
of the removal that my efforts in the matter
were unavalling
