AmUsEmEur.-We are decidedly in
favor of Col. MediIl stamping the county,
aud If needs be the State. We move
that he accompany DR.. Olds, who is now
slumping the State-the greatest dema-
gogue to he elected U. S. Senator. pro.
vided the Locofocos have that job 10 do.
Let them GO arm 10 arm. Col. Medill hav
ing an extra" Ohio Eagle of lS43 in
his pocket aud DR.. Ods an extra" Cit.
cleville Watckmah of the same date in
his. Let the Colonel first read his paper
through To the audience and then let DR..
.Olds follow suit. 1t will prove rich
treat to the Democracy assembled, com
edy in high life with the variations. Col.
Medary should also be present, singing
in mournful tune, "died Tor want of hon
est principles" 1t will also add to the
interests of the play to have Pike, former
editor of the Eagle present, who now
believes DR.. Olds 10 be an honest poiti.
clan, and Robertson of Minnesota, who
couldn't edit the paper because dishonest
men had crept into place and power in
the Democratic ranks; aud as there will
be no need of Judge Whitman stumping
his district 10 obtain an election, he can
also be present and add little to the a.
musements of the day in the way of a
melo. dramatic Performance. The scene
will be rich and the side. bar remarks de-
cidedly agreeable,
DR., Olds-Fellow. Democrats, you
ought to vote for Col. Medill, because he
is a noble Democrat, was President of
the Constitutional Convention and has
held Office for about G years.

make and voted for the new Constitution.
DR.. Olds, (aside)-I beat Medill in
lS43, and l'll put him down again it he
stands in my way.
Col. Med,H-You ought to vote for me,
because the Wings ought not to hold of.
fee under the new Constitution.
Sam Pike. (aside )--lfMedilI was hon

honest now, Medill must be dishonest.

Of honest principles.
Dr. Olds-I repeat it, fellow.demo-
Gratis, Col. Medill is every way worthy OF
your suffrages he is all honest man and

Together here to-day.
Tugging & hngging. g. a working
altogether
cheating of the people to gel
our pay
The closing scene, during which they
will all lie down together, will close th'
entertainment of the DAY. Dr.. OlIs
having the best claim, being the highes
officer in the list, will retire first. ON
by Que. his dear friends will bid him good
night
Col. MedM L have no faith in you
: political honesty-good night.
Judge Whitmaa-So help me God,
will spit out the last drop OF blood in m,
lungs to defeat the miserable politicians

, Col. Medary--And upon his tomb
stone is inscribed. "died for want Of hon
est pIinciples"-a good night!
ID. A. robertson Il cannot support
miserable political knave aud therefor,
l. retire--a good nights rest!

here. Your father knows them all-al
their secrets, but close mouth is m
best friend-rest easy!
Fellow. citizens, this is fancy picture
but founded on fact. What think yo

found in the table upon our first page

j. in again aud what c0n you expect?
AN INTERESTING QUEsTIoN.-There
a now an ex parte discussion on hand, i
$ which Col. Medil figures as principal ol
II ator The question is: -" VI as the nffic
u of Lieutenant Governor created by tn
y Convention for Col. Medill" He al
:. CUES that it was, upon the ground that n
a Wing has a right to hold an office create
I by The Locofocos. Good, so far. Anoll
or question naturally arises, and we woul
: like to see the Democracy discuss it. |
D this county, it is a rule that no perso

years. Is the doctrine Of rotation appl
