TnE Wool TRADE.--This isthe term
familiarity applied by the Eagleto the
late transactions of the Locofoco party.
whereby for consideration they dispose
Of the rauk and He of tie party ahd our
Sugar Grove friends To the Free Suilers
of Ohio. In late number of that paper
auolhe er bargain and sale" was protest.
cd againS, aud on yesterday we find the
following:
Tile Wayne County BeAOerat and ohio Pa
triOt both have copied. ile ARTICLE alluded TO a.
hove, andtheir coftnerts ute allne singular. and
rather inclined to favor the "rOol trade, ,'-bOtll
gentlemen, from the tnne Of their papers. are in
favor Of sacrificing principle for Iew'luuvcs aud
fishes at the hands oft free dirtS. We can't
go it senNeheh 10 ,lioY see, ,aercr have and
neVer lOiH sanction any such "diekeri'g." let who
will reap the rewartlTTwe care nnt whom they
may be, "persOaa" frleuds 6r not"
The inuendoes contained in the abnve
extract ore as "dark" as the attempted
transaction, and that the reader may be
fully advised ofthe spirit Of the alusions'
it is necessary to inf rm him that the
"dickering'' mentioned, is rim GER
tain circles of tho Democracy that Citi'
zen Sammedary is toreceive the "hayes
and fishes" in consideration Of services
in procuring the election Of a free dhler'
to the United States Senate; provided al.
ways that the "bargain and sale" eau be
made and the transfer" consummaIed.
The completion of the contract is mat
Ter for the future.
We may as well add here that more
Upposition will be brought to bear a
gainst any such contract than in 1913
Etthat time, Hamilton county had an in
terest in the matter. Her Democracy
had arrayed themselves against law OF
the State and had not the powert 10 carry
Out their designs without the assistance
of the Free Soiers. Hence, their viii
lingness to sign and seal the bargain, by
which Chase was elec 10 the Unitet
States Senate abg Citizen SammedalS
appointed State Printer The Clizer
is the "pcrscna" friend of the Editor o
the Eagle, to whom he now ieuies the
,"oaves aud fishes" The Hamilton
Democracy have Now no such interest a
stake and they too will protest agaEs
any such transaction. thus enhau cling the
difficulties of the tFansfer and in all prob
ability defeating it.
The Siatcsman,,he other day had char
Bclclistic ARTICLES attempting 10 Blow no
ahhiT} cold at The same time, aud should ii
discover that no contract can be mad'
and carried into effect, he will feel les
sympathy Cor ;he Free Soi!srs and ,hei
opposition 10 the Fugitive Slave Law
But it is we'll to bear passing events il
tnihI and pay due regard TO these artl
cles viii h appear in the organs Of th
Democracy. The tone of them depen
very much upon the locality in which tn
different papers may be published.
"a The Free Soilers undoubtedly hold III
Balance ofpowerin the Legislature, all
the result depends very much upon tn
facility with which Locofoco membefs q
Tow themselves to be transferred togetht
with their constituents to the Tree dilter
For a year or Two back, the "wool trade
has proved profitable to certain member
of the Locoioco party, aud should the
be satisfied that equal success will folio
their transactions in the same arlicl'
they viii do their utmost to carry nut he
designs. Il WILDE we'll for those VIII
don't want 10 be sold. to keep an eye u
on their leaders. ......
How is lrl-Tbe Eagle in attcmptin
to coax the Democracy of Old Fairie
into the belief that they are not c0utro
Jed by the central clique, as charged |
tie Hooking Sentinel and as known
many Democrats in this county, adds
way Of rider:-
"Un,ike the supple tool of the Gazette who
every action aud thought is governed by wi
clique in Lancaster-ths is not denied"
To,it is not denied, because nobot
believes it. But for the sake Of arg
mep,, we will make proposition;-N
will agree to keep the Editor of the e
glein oysters for the balance Of the Sc
son, if he will point out an individut
besides the Editor. who has any coulr
over the columns Of the Gazette, a!
further, if he points out anyindiyidual
individuals who has exercised any co
troll in the matter since we have h
charge Of the office. That propOsi;i
Is plain enough.
Now, will the Judge make smil
pfoF6sitiop 70 usi Just for the fun
ne ding, let one or the other of
foot the oyster bill of the season. s.
