He was for many years resident of Ohio, and while here. related with much apparent satisfaction, the circumstance of his son, nine grnndsons, and the husbands of three grand daughters. having all gone together to the polls in ls40and given their suffrages for the Harrison Electoral Ticket thus making '.thirteen votes for Old Tip pecanoe" from one family! Mir. Landon has the appearance of man not exceeding 70, and he is said to have been quite beau in hls youthful days. He mentioned that at the age of eighteen, upwards of seventy three years ago, he attended the marriage of a couple in Milton, as one ofthe grooms- men. |. It was.' said he, a great wedding ---the festivities lasted two days This company lived together in the marriage state nearly seventy years: and died at the age of 90.

Talking Right.

The Wayne County Wing contains a long article in
favor of the Compromise. 1t does ones heart good to
read such sentiments from the Wing press Of Indiana
Why can't ncghbor of the Journal initiate so noble
example. Speaking of the candidates for Congress
in the fourth district, the writer says:
We cannot yet say who the Wing candidate will be,
but with pretty fair knowledge Of the Wing sentiment
Of this District, think we say that he must 10
insure the vote and confidence Of his party, sustain the
integrity of the Compromise. We hope before any
nomination is made by the Convention that the sentiments
of the Wing candidates this subject will be known.
We call the attention Of the candidates this matter
and we trust that they will let their sentiments be known
to the public on the point in question.

JOHN R. JONES

for Governor in Connecticut which did not result in
choice, shows larger vote than has before been
Poled on such occasion. Seymour, Democrat, had
3OO77 Foster, Wing, 2S,756; Seymours plurality was
1921; but, majority Of all the votes cast
quired, the election must go to the Legislature The
Hartford Times says:
The Democrats have large plurality in the popular
voe and have elected three of the four members OF
Congress- four of the eight Shers and but for divisions
in their own ranks, would have had overwhelming
majority in the Legislature. As it is they probably
have bare majority in the House Of Representatives,
and have only lost the Senate and the First Congressional
disrct by local divisions and personal feelings Against
united front Of the Democracy of Connecticut, the
Wings stand no chance Of success. This election
has shown that full rote is Democratic uictory.

SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 10, 1881.

GTGov. Wright will leave to-day for Canneltcn to
make speech TO the operatives of that growing manu-
featuring town.
In his letter accepting the invitation to make the ad.
uacturer should be placed along side Of the cuvato Of
the SOIL and hope he may fail to nculcate that
doctrine in his speech at Cannelton. Let him explain
what effect, if any, the present tariff has upon the poll.
cy which he seems to favor.-Indiana Journal.
That is the very doctrine Gov. Wright will inculcate
tariff. even for revenue, gives advantage to the
manufacturer the cultivator of the SOIL to the
amount of the duty levied the foreign Importation
which comes in competition with the manufactured ar.
tc!e This is necessary consequence of any system
oil indirect taxation by imposts But in proportion
the duty increased to give protection the inequa-
y between these two classes of citizens increases
premium is given to the manufacturer which enables
him to increase the price, and this increase paid by
the consumer. The farmers ploughs chains, and axes
and the cooking stove in his Kitchen taxed put
money in the pocket of the iron masters The glass
that lets in the light of Heaven and keeps ont the cold
OF winter, is taxed The and shirt his back the
hat that his head and the shoes on his feet are
all taxed for the benefit of the manufacturer These
are some ef the nques of the protective policy which
the Democrats, as party, oppose. The blessings o
Government should extend equally ALL and burdens
rest alike every shoulder. This is what Gov Wright
means by placing the manufacturer along side of the cu
vator of the soil. 1t is easily explained The people
are no longer to be humbugged by the obsolete cry
high duties make low prces,' &c home markets" and
" the producer pays the tax" These things have had
their day. They exploded doctrines, which cannot
be galvanized into life.

u Ellis says that assertion that the repeal of the
fugitive slave law would entirely destroy the Unon is
what in his believes. To prove this
sertion he introduces the testimony of Jos. L. White
White it will be recolected was one Of the members o
the Buffalo Convention, and the principal architect
in the construction of the platform Now if Ellis needs
any further evidence have doubt but he could OBJ
tain the afdavs of John Van Buren, Giddngs Sumner,
Fred Douglass and the whole molly herd of Bufaloes.
Joe Whites authority quoted by democrat will sound
rather strange in the second district. But political
treachery times makes strange bed-felows.
