lie alih Of the Town.

There has been but one death in Ottawa
since our last, and neither cholera nor sick
ness of any kind appears TO prevail TO any
extent. In short, the health Of our place is
once more above par, with a fair prospect,
according 10 all human power of foreSeeing
in such a case, OF continuing SO the balance
OF the season.
The death alluded TO was that Of Edward

the monster of the doep-iromn s"e'
of the serppn, to the innocerH by surprise on
from the elastic emb'eru Telegraph call Of
ha'n'la to the descsntion. ofthe 'Frec Soil' par
NY y oii!iis county, forihe purpose OF nomina-
ting county ticket to be supported by that
party at the November election. We had
all along been under the impression, that,
asthcre appeared no longer TO be any differ
ence in principle between the Van Bnreu
aud Cass democrats Of this county, that at
least an effort would be made TO get the two
wings once more together; and such we
Know has been tile honest wish Of the body
of both divisions. BIT this call, emaualing
from few leaders, prejudges and settles the
point at nce-takiug il out of the hands Of
the masses-that there shall be no union,
and that the democratic party of this county
must continue to present the gloomy specta-
Gle Of "house divided against itself"
Now were we satisfied that there was no
desire among the free soilers TO bury the
Ratchet, and that this call was a well consi
dered and deliberate step on their part, we
could lay back and see them thus assume
the offensive-plant their batteries and IN ar.
shall their forces-with the utmost compo-
sure; but knowing as we do that this call
was cooked up without the knowledge or
consent OF the free soil party generally or Of
all those even whose names are attached to
II, 1t would be matter ofregre to US should
the democratic party of the county be hope
lessly severed for years by such means, and
led into an endless goats wool quarrel, as
little desired OH both sides as it would be
Iiscredtable.
The movement in which this call origin. 1
a.ed is well understood. II is an effort OH
the part of the old Abolition party to save
itself from falling back into that hopeless /
and insignificant minority in which the free
soilers found them, aud from which they
brought them into respectable notice. But .
will the effort succeed? Are the free soil .
democrats so easily caught by an adroi, ma.
nguvre OF this kind, and gathered like sheep
into new and strange folds? We will see. (
N. B.-Since the above was pat in type,
the Perm Telegraph has come TO hand, in
which the call referred TO is revoked. The |
editor appears TO have made it as wellasre.

that using other peoples names with cons-
derable freedom.
