FAIR PLAY.

No sooner are Locofocos placed in office
than they contrive some plan to increase their
salaries, or otherwise endeavor to burden the
people with taxes. It has always been the
case, when the Wings had control, that the
farmers and others, who resided along the
Western Reserve and Maumee road, could
hire the gates. within eight or ten miles either
side ofthem. BY the quarter, at reasonable
compensation, that they might not be depri'
we'd from doing their regular business.
But, we understand, the Board of public
works have done away with this jnst arrange
ment so that if a farmer wants to go to mill
or to town to buy little sugar and tea, aud
a thousand other little necessaries, which he
must have every day or two, he will have tt
pay as much each time as the person who ira
veIs the road but once year,
Maybe our Democratic friends out on The
road will like the arrangement, and maybe
they won't We can't say. 1t is a good 10
cofoco measure, and they will have to "grir

The CenstltlonaI Gerrymander.

A writer in the Ohio State Journal treats of
the Locofoco Gerrymander in the New Con-
stitution thus:
How stands it with the Locofoco Senatorial
apportionmtnt in the Consiitution--2O Loco
districts have population of 1,l22.loO; Is
Whis Free Soil S59.96o. The Wing dis
trict average 57,357; the Loco 56. 150-l.l .l07
less in each in each district, the former being
about the roatio. the latter beloW, so as TO give
the Locofoce party $4,000 the advantage in
the representation, equal to near half Sen
aLorial ratio. The apportionment last sum-
mer divided the State fairly politically; why
was the number of districts changed? Why
was another number selected to calculate the
ratio Because if 30, an even number, the
original divisor had been adhered to instead
of 35, an odd number, for Lieutenant Gov
ernor to give casting vote, the result would
have been different Never was there more
cunningly contrived gerrymander; and TO cap
the climax, the Loco committee voted against
their own report to consolidate Cincinnati and
Hamilton county, so as 10 secure two more Lo-
co Senators. The honest people will see Ihro'
the move, and the single district system will
yet correct this infamous plan of arranging
counties, so rs to crush the voice of minorities
who have rights in every government. not

shorter and more direct route to Cleveland,
which is defined to be thegreat City ofNorth-
