The Sdil6rol the Tribune s Clipper is one
Of the family croakers. as most whig editors
are, and having once learnt his lesson, con-
tinues to harp upon the stale and worn out
phrases. Home market, Domestic Industry,
Pauper labor, &c. Our country has been 50
often ruined, within the last twenty years,
by the free policy Of the democrats, that It
is wondera press remains to tell the story;
and more than all, that the few men ofhu-
siness who still remain IN the land Of the
living, are SO foolish as TO imagine they are
in prosperous condition. ss, ~.
In commenting upon the results Of free
trade, the Tribune & Clipper rakes up an old
rumor which has been going the rounds Of
the high tariff whig prints for the last six
months, to the effect that the imports will
exceed the exports on the 30th June, by $780,
|0O0,0 900. which must be made good by re-
mittances in specie and State stocks, and
sin coorse the country rendered bankrupt,
When this nonsense was first uttered the
30th Of June had otarrived by 60 days. II
| is now past by more than that time. And
what are the facts? Let the New York
Journal of Commerce, whose statements
pass current anywhere, tell. The following,
alluding to that stale and false prophecy, is
from that paper. After giving tables show
ing the state Of trade from the single port Of
New York, for eight months in lS49 and 80,
i ii remarks:
"This shows an increase in imports of %
per cent. and an increase Of exports Of 30
per cent, proving that notwithstanding there
is no special call for our produce, by the fail
ure Of any foreign production, our export
trade issteadily increasing. If we extend this
comparison upon the same basis throughout
the United States, we shall have an increase
of exports over imports of $4,000, 900, in.
stead Of difference the other way of $55,.
600, 900, according to the prediction above
quoted.
"Nor is the statement in regard to the
IuIdins OF specie and STOCKS any more f0rtu'
nate. Instead Of losing the precious met
we have exported from the lst of Jan. to
the lst of Sept, butt $5,4l3,548, while
we have imported in the same period, $l2,-
522, l73, and nearly $3,000,OO0 since, max.
ling gain of about Sl0, 100000 during the
Icuren: year. In regard to Government
IStock, the transfers (probably inconsequence
Iof the high price at honey having declined
since April, so that while the aggregate from
lst of Jan. to date, is 50, 5,027, 1876, only 81.
900, ,057 have been transferred since the Isl
of May. This proportion has very likely
been preserved in Coupon and other Stocks,
which are remitted without record"
But being Croaker, our neighbor must
still continue to croak on, and delight in
predicting the ruin Of the country by demo
cratic free trade, which may now be called
the established policy of the country, ant
which never will be changed. The people
particularly the agricultural portion, know
too well what value to place upon whi,
prophecy and whig statements.

Columbus and Cincinnati railroad. The
company have the authority Of issuing $l,-
100000 Of bonds for the purpose of con-
structing the road, which will cost when

our Representative Candidate.

We take great pleasure in placing at
our masthead, to-day, the nume Of Hon. B.
JOHNSTON of Lawrence county, Us candi-
date for Representative. Judge Johnston
is iavorably known to many Of cur citizens
and to almost every citizen Of Lawrence as
On honorable, high minded man. He has
the respect of men Of oil parties and will
receive, we doubt not. the support Of hun
dreds who have differed with him in poll
tics. As Scioto has the Senator, the Re-
preventative is justly due to our sister
county of Lawrence. We desire to &c.
cord to her this right. And as we all feel
n little sensitive in regard to local interests,
it was proper that our candidates views on
this subject should be known. The cor
respondence below will set this matter per-
fectly right. The reply Of Judge Johnston
TO the letter addressed to him, breathes the
spirit Of an honorable man and true re-
u
preventative. We do not desire that any
man should be more strongly pledged, and
we have the utmost confidence and per-
feet reliance, that whatever it may be ne
cessury for a representative to do. will be
done by Judge Johnston, if elected. We
believe, too, that the character and reputa-
tion Of our candidate for integrity, candor
and uprightness will command a high de-
egree Of respect in any assembly of his fel-
low men. Let us oil, then, unite upon
him and do all in our power, from this time
until 4 o'clock on the day of election, 10
place him as our representative in the next
legislature. No man in the two counties
could make better one.
