test for the Ohio Democracy, we beg him
to present it to the 9th of January Conven-
ton fer its approval. Its fate before that
body, like the doom VIII ch befel it in the
PENNSYLVANIA convention Of the 4th Of July
last might satisfy even Mr.. Dunbar, him
selfthat those VI HON the Banner has so
industriously assailed, constitute a larger
portion of the people than he has hereto
fore imagined. If he has confidence that
his views on the Proviso question are in
reality the views Of a majority of the De-
mocracy Of Ohio, we hope he will give the
convention an opportunity of passing judg-
ment on the Baltimore resolution. Ifhe
shrinks from subjecting it to that ordeal,
we trust that he will concede the propriety
ofhenceforth toleIating an honest differ
erence Of sentiment on the part of those
whose hearts are as pure as his own.

From the Ohio Statesman.

Col MEDARY:-I address the Statesman
as a vehicle through which 1 can invite the
attention of the democratic press generally
to the subject of party names. am not
about to enter into discussion, but barely
to make suggestion. Promising that
courtesy and politeness are qualities be-
longing to, and should always be observed
by gentlemen in their intercourse with each
other, yet the ier talionis may sometimes
justify a aseeming dispensation or waiver of
those qualities. In conversation with a
gentlemen opposed to me in politics, of the
party calling themselves wings, if have
occasion to use the party name say whtg-
If on the other hand he applies to me or to-
the democratic party the term loco foco as
he is very likely to do, the next time that
| have occasion to designete him or his
party by name, and am sure not to delay
finding such an occasion, say coon, and
| hear no more of loco foco during that
conversation. Such was the practise of
the democratic press in 1910, and "a and
such it still ought to be. The term loco
tocois used as term of reproach--applied
to us in derision. From the National In
telligencer down to the Ohio State Journal
and still lower, our party is thus designa-
ted, At the head of every column of
names of the respective paties, for instance
Senators in Congress, published in the
National Intelligencer, print from which
we ought to expect dignity, at least decen-
cy we see parties thus designated. Now,
Sir, | respectfully request the Statesman,
and through it, the Washington Union
and the democratic press generally to adopt
the law of retaliation and designate that
party who have arrogated to themselves
and spoiled so many good names, the apt
and appropriate term coon
have seen in some of the democratic
prints the term SO employed in the an
nouncement of the late democratic tri-
umphs. May | not hope it may become
universal? So counsels one who has been
half a century a DEMOCRAT.

Congress-.

The Congress of tho United States meets at
the city Of Washington on the first Monday in
December next. The Senate is strongly Demo-
cratic; the House will probably be Democratic
by majority of one; that. places the Admins
tration in rather an unenviable position.
The Hero Of broken pledges has got into close
quarters, and the Administration is already devil
sing ways and means to conceal mis- party predi-
ections; but its labors will all be in vain. 1t has
long since been demonstrated that Con. Taylor
is not only Wing, but one of the most ultra
kind, stepped over head and ears in all the prin-
cipIcs of Blackcockade Federal Coonery.
We shall advise our readers from time to time
of the conduct Of the Administration, and the
proceedings of the coming Congress. Much is
expected by the people from their agents, whom
they have selected to transact their business al
the seat of the National Government.

The Ohio Legislature.

The General Assembly of the State of Ohio
will meet at the seat of government in Columbus
on two weeks from next Monday. The first
thing in order, after the organization Of the Leg
slature, should be, and we think will, with the
Democratic part of the Senate and House of Rep
rescntative, to pass law providing for a conven-
ton to revise the constitution. The convention
for that purpose shoald be held as early in the
spring as practicable-say by the middle of May
draw up constitution and have it submitted to
the people of Ohio for their approval or disappro-
val, which they IN manifest by their votes at
the fall election in 1850.
We will give to the readers of the PIONEER the
earlist and most important news from the capitol
of the State, during the sitting of the Legislature.
The doings of that body no doubt will prove to
be of no little inte rest to the people Of Ohio.

How long have YOU felt so!

The GAINESVILLE Courier, celebrated for
its opposition to the call of a Convention to
amend the Constitution, now that the peo-
pie, in spite of the trickery of Federalism
to defeat the measure, have decided that
the Constitution shall be amended, with its
usual atfronteryis assuming the ground oc-
cupied by the Democracy for years-and
with an air of great triumph says:--
Every elective Office, County and State,
including the direction of the public works,
should be given to the people. Dare loco
focoism oppose it?"
What stride in progression, truly, is
this for that ultra federal sheet,-"Dare
locofocoism" oppose, what it has always
advocated, now that Mr.. Lyman has pre-
tended to be in favor of the same thing?
But notwithstanding the triumphant tone in
which he speaks, there is good deal Of
uncertainty in the length he goes in the
popular move. He says; every elective
office should be given to the people. Now
what does our neighbor of the Courier con
slider an elective office? and if selective
office" are not "given to the people," who
are they given to. All elective Offices
as we understand the matter, are now Civ
en- to the people, under the present Consti-
tution-for we can scarcely consider an Of
fee elective, which is conferred by the Leg
islature as reward for political services,
or obtained from that body by the most de-
basing system ofcorruption which civilis-
ed state can be guilty of--as is too fire.
quently the case.
But we can assure the Courier Editor
that "!ocofocoism" will not oppose giving
all the Elective offices to the people"--he
may set his mind at rest on that point
And we will 60 further, and assure him
that "locofocoism" will advocate making
all Offices Electipe! Notwithstanding it will
interfere very materially with the interests
OF federalism. Dare Mr.. Lyman advocate
this? or will he true to the instincts of fed
eralism only advocate the election of por.
ton of the offices by the people.-Coshocton

BANKS BURSTING!!

The Susquehanna Bank has fizzled and
left many a man til loser, and still these
shave shops are countenanced and en-
couraged, Notwithstanding the mass fpeo-
pie are injured by them; the working class
as general thing are the ones that feels
it most serious, for it is they that earn the
money by the sweat of the brow, and then
to lose it by few banking nabobs, who
have the privilege of issuing currency
perfectly worthless, whenever they see
proper to close doors. This has been
practiced too long in opposition to the will
of a large number of the inhabitants of the
United States, and ere long they will re-
gret that Bank ever existed.
1t is nothing strange for banks to blow
up, as it is very easy way to make a
large speculation, and the money is obtain
ed without any great labor to the bankers,
while the Farmer, Mechanic and Laborer
have toiled in the hot Summers Sun or in
the cold Winters blast to get few insol-
vent notes on said banks, which is of nc
value after being earned by hard labor.
Now just think (as well as your pockets
have been tried) of bank swindling, and
forever swear eternal hostility against
banks and bankers; as they are only in
tended for shave shops, you can never de-
rive any great benefit from them; this you
know from the long tried experience you
have had, and as they have been of no ad-
vantage, why not at once abandon the idea
that you cannot get along without banks,
when you are fully convinced that they are
an evil and curse to every community.
We wouldn't be at all surprised if one
half the banks in Ohio, would squash be-
fore athousand years, and show the folks
banking trick that will be sorrowful-re-
member millions have suffered by these in
stitutions.

SCHOOL EXAMINATION.

We were called upon to visit Mr.. Hoyt's
school a few days ago, for the purpose of
seeing how fast the scholars had progress
cd; we done so, and were perfectly astonish-
ed to find them SO far advanced. Consider
ing the age and size, they are hard to be
excelled, The parents and scholars will
regret that they cannot have Mr.. Hoyt
continue, but his health will not permit it.

on an ounce daily by hard labor. There
is much sickness among them-less, how
ever than at this place, for their air, though
hot and dry, is perfectly pure. All the
bars are now crowded, and the space al
lotted to each machine is much reduced.

age, and one may make two pounds OF
gold before night, while the otherhas only
washed to the value of two dollars. So
much for luck. Yet skill makes an essen
tial difference. 1t is a common saying that
mining is a hard trade, and man must
be apprenticed before he can become a
master workman. The old miners are
lying still, looking with derision on those
who will work for an ounce a day, and on
ly waiting for few weeks to pass, when
they can commence operations which will
be worthy conclusions to their astounding
success last fall and winter.
There is still no law here, except that
which springs from the love of justice, SO
thoroughly planted in the character of an
educated nation. At San Francisco one
often sees or hears ST deadly brawls; here
sometimes; very rarely in the mines.
All who can find spare breath from bus
mess or railing at California, are discussing
the horrible fate of those hardy spirits who
came over the plains from Missouri. Some
Of these men are now among us. They
are easily recognised by their tall and
wasted forms, by their appearance of in
durated muscle. and by the fixed and seri-
ous expression upon their faces. They
have fled from pressing death for the last
thousand miles over herbless plains and
precipiteus mountains. To save their lives
they have been obliged to leave their little
property on the road, and push by thous-
ands of their countrymen. They were
forced to live upon that, the loss of which
must work the death of their friends. They
pushed on by forced matches. They have
arrived here exhausted and depfessed,-
While they tell of their sufferings in the
Sierra Nevada, they shake their heads,
and in tones almost whisper, says that
thousands must perish for want Of food
When asked if there is grass enough for
half the trains, the reply is almost invaria-
BILE, "God knows, but can't believe their
is"
When compared with the sufferings Of
teis route, the storms of Cape Horn, the
delays Of Panama and Mexico, are unwor-
thy of mentioning. One short month hence
story will be sent to the Atlantic States
which will sudden the unthinking gaity Of
childhood, draw tears from the eyes of all
who love their fellow men. and crush the
widows heart.
Surely, the gold in California is not
enough to pay for this!

Virginia Election.

The returns from Virg continue to be uncer-

that Powell (democraD is elected over Goggin

from the entire Eighth district, showing majority
of so for Holiday (democraD over Forbes, (whig).
This district was considered doubtful.
Although our Geographic dispatches say that
only one wing Congressman is elected from Vir-
ginia-(M Morton is certainly elected from the Ninth
district-our exchanges say that Tourney (whig)
is believed to be elected in the Third district. The
result is doubtful in the Fifteenth district. Re-
turns from seven counties show gain for Russell,

election, when Cass had majority of S74-leaving
six more counties to hear FROM Gen. Bayly (dem.)
