Eg The party at WIN. KEssLER's' on
Thursday evening last. was splendid affair
The array of wit and beauty on this occasion,
has never been surpassed in the history OF
Fremont, and We never attended party,
where all seemed to enjoy so much real plea
sure and happiness. We were pleased to see
SO large an attendance from the surrounding
cities and towns. Tifin city, Bellvue, Rome
Hamer's corners, &c, were well represented,
and added much to the enjoyment OF the eve
ing. The Supper was got up in Kestler's best
style, and was partook ofin a manner that left
no doubt that all were satisfied of its merits.
The music was good, and the dancing iniml'
table, and was kept up until late hour in the
night. when the company quietly retired to
their several homes, to witness the trst dawn
ing of the morning making its appearance IN
the Easa and to renew their daily round OF
duties, which are so necessary to the ENJOY
ment of such pleasures as those of Thursday
night

EE Last week we were up through the
interior part of the State, and were astonished
to witness the vast difference in the prices
there and Fremont Even in Tifin city, where
they boast of their three thousand inhabitants,
and vast resources and business Of their place,
We find them selling Iron, an article so indis-
pensible TO a large class of people, at from
So 25 to $4 90, while onr merchants sell it
at 81 65 to 50 rs. Nails they sell there at
So IS and 81 90 per keg, while they can be
bought here for 50 so. They were paying
SO and SIC for wheat while our merchants
were paying 56 and So cents per bushel.
Other articles, as far as we could ascertain,
we're relatively as high; aud the further South
we got, the worse we found matters. The
people of Seneca, Hancock, WyaHdot, Wood,
DC. however, are fast finding out the place to
do business, and scores of Farmers from those
counties now weekly visit our place. When
the Plank road is finished through TO Repub-
lie, the business of large and wealthy scope
of country will at once centre here, that now
goes to other points. The fact that within the
last year three new Dry Goods Stores, one
Hardware store, one or two Boot ond Shoe
stores, as many Ready made clothing stores,
and several Grocery stores, have been opened
here, and well sustained, without detracting
from the business Of those then here, speaks
volumes for the increasing business of this
place.
when we consider the efforts used to bring II
there. Our citizens have expended near forty
thousand dollars in building the Plank roads
from this place to Rome and to Tifin. Sever
al miles of plank have also been laid down be
tween here and Republic. at an additional ex
pense. This road will be completed mex
summer Our citizens have also taken twenty
thousand dollars stock in the Rail Road com
pany, in addition to the fifty thousand takei
by the county The Plank Road betweel
Tifin and Upper Sandusky will be finished b!
next fall.
Within eighteen months from this time
there will be seventy-fve miles of PLANK roa'
leading into Fremont; we now have forty
Within the same time, we shall have Raj
road through Fremont extending from Chi
cago to Boston, q distance of near 1000 miles
}, and which will intersect with all the easter
cities. We also have one of the best Ston
roads in the State passing directly throug
, Athe place, forty five miles in length.
We are also possessed of one of the bel
water privileges in this part of Ohio. an

From the National lntelligeneer.
The figures


. When people set themselves up for rare
sagacity, or become great BY the cOmmenda-
lion Of their friends. it may be useful for the
future to survey the past especially as it may
show that we are all erring mortals.
Some five years since the policy of the
country was materially changed upon the rec
concentration Of distinguished gentleman
then Secretary of she Treasury. He urged
this change With some skill--it will not do to
say abiity-and great eloquence. He depic-
ted in glowing colors what free trade, or that
which approximated to free trade, would do
for ;and to show conclusively and beyond
cavil the vast advantages the tillers of the soil
must derive from the passage of the measures
he suggested, he submitted an array of figures
which We beg leave to examine this rainy al
ternoon By way of killing time. There is a
common saying figures never lie In the
case before us We do not say they do or do
not lie; but the exhibition of them is certainly
notvety creditable to the wonderful sagacity
of the ex-Secretary.
He svlcmnly said that il his plan of rev enue
were adopted, our exports would be in lS45
s222. $50. They were Sl32,932,121,
showing slight error SS9,o66,22e.
He solemnly said that ouI exports Of lS4e
would be 1929, ,059,993. but they were only
| $l32,15e, ,955, showing another little error of
tSI97, 1888, OBS,
He also with equal solemnity said that our
exports Of 1850 would be $4sS, S,445.056; but
they were only $I34, 4,9oo,265, showing anoth-
er trif1ing error Of Ss59.544,79I And when
we come to sum up the three years. errors,
the whole amount is only about six hundred
and forty millions of dol!ars-that's all. Il
was uuqaestionably upon the recommendation
of Mr.. Walker that the whole revenue policy
Of the United States was upturned, and all this
was predicted upon his estimates!
Having briefly shown by facts what blum
!. dcrs are sometimes perpetrated by men IT
high places, and how people who will no
take the trouble TO think for themselves are
deceived, We drop the subject or rather leave
4 it to more competent hands-the present Sec
rotary Of the Treasury and the able Practica
man at his elbow.
!. In conclusion, we take leave to say to th'
Il ex-Secretary that if time had proved his est
mates correct, or even aPproximating to cor
rectness, this country would bethe most pros
porous on the face of the globe, and Europ
I would have found it impossible TO liquidate tn
: balance due US. And further, if our export
e for ls4s-49 and 1850 had been only half G
what he predicted they would be, the fnan
: cial crisis-uot yet ended-would not hav
: occurred.
