The honest Appertlonment.,

The Ohio Statesman publishes a table
which we suppose is substantially correct,
showing the relative strength Of parties in the
next Legislature; and more extraordinary
exhibit than it presents against the apportion
meut of Senators and Representatives, under
the new constitution, is not to be found in the
infamous history Of gerymanders. Suppose it
to be true that the vote for Wood is equal TO
the combined vote Of Vinton and Lewis-or,
in other words, that half the people of Ohio
are Democrats; how, under fair apportion-
ment, would they be represented in the Legis-
la:ure? OF course, BY one-haf of the Sena-
tors and Representatives-Perhars a few more
or few less.
Instead of this, what is the practical fact ?
According to the Stateman's showing the
Democrats have 26 Senators and 81 Repre-
sentatves, the Wings s Senators and 81 Rep
resentatiyes, and the Free Soilers l Senator
and 2 Representatlves-givin the Democrats
a clear majority of is in the Senate, and SO
in the House While one half the freemen Of
Ohio, Wings and Free Soilers, are only al
lowed SO members of the General Assembly,
the other half. being Democrats, are allowed
90!
VIII free people tolerate such wrong and
injustice as this? Will honest Democrats ul,.
hold their party in the perpetration Of 50 gross
an outrage upon the representative principle .
Every other man in Ohio is as onrpletely
and effectually disfranchised as if the Con
stitusion provided that none but Democrats
should exercise the right of suffrage The
facts show it and we trust they will be charg-
ed home upon their guilty authors, until the
blood of every Wing in the State is stirred
within him, and such an opposition is organic
ed as shall teach Locofocoism that when il
turns Despot its days are numbered!

shores of this free country, and is welcomed to
a home in a land of liberty, by joyous aecla

can console bis heart for exile from bis native
Shores it will be the fact that here he will find
a second country. The greatest statesman.
orator and hero of the old world will find in the
new an appreciation of his merits which will
only be the keener from his misfortunes. In

will not diminish their estimation of his great

Mr.. Jacob Stahl, of BalIvile township, a few

which he has our thanks.
We observe, in looking over the report OF
the Milan Fair, that Mr. Stahl exhibited Spe-
cimens OF his fruit there, for which the Com
mittee recommended premium. He deserves
great credit for his efforts to introduce into
our county, superior quality of fruit.

The Presidency.

We regard the Wing party of this country
as the party of hope and progress. 1t exem-
pli6es the injunction of the old Roman, make
haste slowly. Its eyes and its heart are di-
rected to the future; but they heed also the
past and the present. 1t adheres to the econ
omy practiced in the early days of the Repub
lie. 1t fosters American labor on the farm and
in the factory, on the waters and in the work
shop, 1t builds works of Internal Improve
ment, so necessary to bind compactly our
vast territory into an indssoluble aggregate
of nations. 1t limits the power of the Exccu-
tive, and guards against monopoly of power.
1t chershes liberal systems of education, and
affords to science that encouragement which
is its due. Il loves peace, and abhors foreign
conquest. Its aim is TO beat the sword into
pillow shares and the spear into pruning hooks.
It honors industry, and elevates it. 1t hates
slavery, and circumscribes it. 1t is living
with the spirit which brea.hes in the Dec
laratou OF Independence and in the Consti-
tuition.
There are men in the party who have i'm
5ibed the liberality Of all its sentiments Such
we delight TO homer There are others, who
fail tc embrace enthusiastically some of its
principles, but pretend to yield them unwilling

have no sympathy with any doctrines. We
expect every proposition to rally on the old
Wing platforms, that is made in good faith by
those who have for time faltered and Jagged
by the way, The Wing party is dearer to US
than any other political organization of which
there is any prospect. For its sake, we will
forget injustice on the part of others. We ask
only faiinc$s in the future.
The Presidency is open to the Wing party

sberss their national revenue has augmented
nearly zoo per cent; " hile their public expcn-
diture has increased a little more than 400
per cent. The predigious extension of their
commerce is indicated by an increase OF near
ly 500 yer cent in their imports aud exports,
and 600 per cent in their saiPping. The
increased activity Of their internal comman-
ications IS expeaaded by the number of their
post Offices, which has boea Increased more

BEAUTIES OF CoALITIoE.-An incident oc-
CURED AT The recent cattle show which illus
trates the relations of coalitions, with parties of
opposite principles. A worthy locofoco with
national principles, and having little regard for
State laws wishing to turn an honest penny,
placed his barrel of whisky, in the dark, at the
back end Of his tent and drove brisk trade
at the counter in front, by selling his whisky
at four cents a glass. Another worthy indi-

largest liberty, had tone idea strike him,
and forthwith backed up his tent behind the
other, in which he also had dark place
Presently the first dealer found that his
business was declining by reason of his neigh

at three cents a glass, Upon going round in
to his ueighhor's tent, he discovered another
tap, in the latter eud of his own barrel, which
showed plainly the capital the free soiler was

You scoundrel. I'll prosecute you for stealing
my liquor Just as quick as you please,
said the other, but if you do, I'll prosecute
you for selling liquor without lcense.'-
Whereupon the prosecution was dropped on
both sides, and a coalition and compromise
