Yes, cherily sing of the New Constitution,
Our taxes we'll pay by fair distribution.
We hail you in language of congratulation
Young men of Ohio, ye props of the Nation,
For the ballot box lately poured Cut in pro-
fusion i.l an .s.rE ama. sH.rE
The affirmative vote on the New Constitution
The old one will now be directly forgotten
What once has been good in time becomes
rotten a H0"@ tH
Monopolists sought by their amorous wooing
To bring on match to the peoples undoing:
To the State of Ohio Miss BANKS must be
married. IA --s.
The people spoke out and the project mis-
carried .l-' tisr
They swore that no more by false Lords
they'd be ridden,
They vetoed the bill and the bans are for
bidden;
Atleast for while; perhaps they will let her
The courtship renew when her conduct is
better. #-@.
'Gainst the New Constitution. with basest
intention,
It's foes shout alarm with cunning invention
Defeated, o'erthrown.' Atthe recent election
They hoped to succeed by the peoples de-
fection- .'a..s.
But the masses approached with front most
appalling NA
And show'd their project was crippled and
falling; >
So again to the polls, if you live till October,
And vote for the men who're discreet wise
and sober, '-'
Friends Of the State and friends of the Nation,
Who hold Equal Rights in just estimation
Those who will support the New Constitution
And stand fory YOUR rights without prostitution
Not given to flatter, aloof from declension,
Who see all her beauties, too tedious to
mention "' '
Still ifshe has failings, we or. our descendants
Will search out the truth and make the
amendments. '"
We hail you again with the warmest affec-
ton
Let no one forget the October election.

Our Candidates for the Supreme
DO l,s.rtas Court. aj e.

We urge no partisan consideration in be-
half of our candidates for Supreme Court,
They are not obnoxious on that score, how
ever honest and frank they are universally
known to have been in the avowal and sup
port of sound political principles.
There is coincidence in the action of our
opponents on this subject, quite characteris-
tic, which tits proper to mention, to show
where the immediate responsibility for the
nomination Of party candidates for Supreme
Judges rests. No party has professed more
horror toward the connection fthe. Judicia.
ry with party contests than the wings 1t
was for years the sole objection Of that party
tothe selection of Judges by popular vote.
but what do we see? The wings of Ohio
held the first party Convention under the
New Constitution. In choosing candidates
forthes Supreme Court, they were careful to
take no man who had not been a'devoted
Whig, and atone day or other, had not been
anactive partizan! ''''3 go aa.ia'ag' =ala,

tizanshib merit in our candidates. They
are allgmen OF superior ability, and each man
recognizes the vitality of the great progress
siye principles by which our day is dstinc-

From The New Lisbon Palladium, (whig.)
Men out Of their spheres.

Nature has decided that there are spheres
for every class Of creatures. The man Of
honor and goodness has his sphere, and he q
toaoly calling and degradation has his also;
and whenever an individual Of meager abili-
ties and narrow mind, is taken from his prop
or walk in life, and placed in more exalted
position--one for which he is totally unfit
he partakes more of the jackass and hyena
than any other animal we know Of. He is
ungentlemanly, uncorteous, stubborn, devoid
Of good breeding, and rcpulsive to every one
Of refined taste and gentlemanly bearing,
For instance, take man who has been
EARNING HIS Ervisa by means of what some
term lon and assaial iabor,n and place him
in authority, and look to the Iresalt--sse sohai

READ THIS! AND THEN HAND 1T
TO YOUR WHIG NEIGHBOR! 4
! The following article appeared in the New
Lisbon "Western Palladium. " of the | 4th
August, just as it is copied below, except that
the aaltc and capitals are our own. We
spread it before our readers, says the Ohio
Patriot, as proof of the true feeling enter
tanned by whig leaders for those whose
lot in life requires them to earn their bread
by the sweat of their brow. The editor of
the Palladium, in making this article the
leader in his paper of the above date, exhi-
bits boldness aud honesty which scorn the
hypocrisy that too frequently conceals the
true sentiments of his party leaders from the
public gaze. twill be seen that he frankly
avows the doctrine that men engaged in the
pursuits to. which he alludes, should be ex-
cluded from the humber as well as the more
important grade of offices. He thinks that
msn who "haye been eating and living" by
meniall labor are in danger of making "AS-
SES' of themselves, and disgusting the
"GENTEEL PORTION Of society,"" when
they are placed in position Of public trust!
Such is the very language of the article itself
and its bold utterance at this period in our
political history, proves that modern Whigge-
ry is only another name for the old fashion,
ed Federalism which impelled HARR1soN
GRAY 0T1s to proclaim, near three quarters
ola century ago, that "a Farmer vas no it,
ter to make lascs Than a Blacksmith to repair a
watch," But, we submit the article to the
faithful reading Of every workingman in the
State, barely adding that to avoid all pretext
for charge Of garbling, it is copied at full
length without the omission of word.

Judge residing in that district. This is an
important consideration in his favor, and

How the Yankee cured the dog
Of stealing sheen. L---l

Abner'was quiet, peaceable sort of a
Yankee, who lived ON the same farm on
which his fathers had lived before him, and
was generally considered pretty cute fell
low-always ready with trick whenever it
was of the least utility And yet when he
did play trick, it was done in such an in
nocent manner, that his victim could do no
better than to take it all in good part.
Now, it SO happened that one of Abrers'
neighbors sold farm to tolerable green
looking Dutchman-one of the real Stupid
sort.
Well, Won Vlom Schlopsh had dog, as
Du'chmen often have, who had since leaving
his "faderland'' become sufficiently civilized
not only to appropriate the soil as common
Stock but had progressed so far as to obtain
his dinner from the neighbours sheep fold.
| When Abner discovered this propensity in
the canine department of the Dutchman's
family he called over to enter complaint,
which he did in the best natureI manner in
the world.
"Wall, Won, your dod Bleezen has been
killing my sheep. .". ea# a sus
"Yaw, dat ish bat-bat---but he ish Won
goot tog. Yaw, dat ish bat ,.r. ...ur~
"Sarlain it's bad and you willhave to stop
him. "f ' -

a"What's that you say? He was nicked?
Wall, now look here, old feller, nckin,s no
use. Crop i'm; cut the tail close off-chuck
up tew his rump. Tha'lI cure him" ''.'
''Vat ish dat exclaimed the dutchman,
while faint ray of intelligence crept over
his features. 'fYaw, dat ish goot-dat cure
Won sheep steal, eh?"
"Sartain It will; he'll meyer touch sheep
meat again, said Abner.p o alol as y
"Den come nit mel He Won nifty goot
tog-all the way from Yarmany. l not
take Won five dollar, but you come nit me
and hold his tail, Ell? Ich chop him off.
"Sartain," said Abner, "I'llhold his tail,
but you must cut it off close. <'.' ' go"
"Yaw, dat ish right-Ich make him Won
goot tog. Here Bitten Bitten, come right
here, you yod sheep stead rashcall--I chop
your tail in Won two pieces" }''oiHl'&3 7
The dog obeyed the summons, and his
master tied his feet fore and aft, for fear Of
accident; and placing the tail in the Yankees
hand requested him to lay it across a large
stick Of wood a a'Aaa Sa
"Chuck up,f' said Abner as he drew the
but Of the tail close over the log. SEA

Won as he raised the axe. 1t descended,

Ie VINO Toll and drudge from morning till

the infamous sentiments uttered by the WeS-

New Lisbon, Ohio. aa..
just before the election in Jure last, the
editor of the Cadiz Republican, copied into
his paper a flaming article, written by this
same editor of the Palladium urging the peo-
people to oppose the new Constitution. 1t
was we'll displayed with capitals and italics.
We have no objections to that. But if what
Chis whig editor said then was ortholox---if
whathe uttered then could be re-asserted
and adopted as whig doctrine, we believe
we have the right to say that he breaches
whig doctrine now, ' "'a '.a@

Doy you want proof of this? Look at the
course pursed by them, towards the people
of Rhode Island a few years ago There
