Unfortunate Publication.

The Democrat of last week publishes an ar
ticle, giving a statement of the tolls on the
Western Reserve and Maumee Road, for the
past four months ofthe present year, and for
the four corresponding months of last year,
which shows an increase of toll of 1859 50.
The Democrat claims this result as supe-
rior management on the part of the Locofoco
Board of Control. The Farmers and Mechan-
les living along the line of the road can account
for it in a different manner.
When the Locofocos first took charge of
the Road they increased the rates of toll near
ly or quite 400 per cent. above those under
Wing cantrol. They have since been somewhat
reduced, but are now much higher than be-
fore, some Farmers along the Road being COM
PEELED to pay double, and even treble the
amount they did under Wing Management
The Wings charged just toll enough to pay
all expenses and keep the road in repair, while
the Locofocos, as is always the case with them
when they obtain power, charge all they can,
IN older to have something to resort to, on "a
wet day." which means when interpreted, il
their salary does not meet all their wants, that
they can 5orrOaO. from the surplus, money to
meet all little exigencies.
And now, we ask those who are now, OF
have been, compelled to contribute to this
large increase, why such has been the case
Do you see any reason that your tolls should
be increased? Does it not look surpicious to
see a new Board raising nearly nine hundred
dollars more from the tolls in four months
than is necessary to meet the expenses of the
Road AT the same rate it would amount tc
over $4,000 per year. The MuIrines, Yontzes
&c, come vividly before our mind, when we
witness this vast amount of money that has
been raised for no ostensible purpose. We
shall allude to this matter again.

Senator Wade.

This gentleman is now engaged in 'stumping'
Ashtabula county, and the people come up in
crowds to hear him. There is a fair prospect
that the reserve will give nearly her usual
Wing majority this fall. The Ashtabula Tel

ator in Congress, hundreds have been taught

ty of our Senator is too firm ever to waver-
once Whig, always Whig-once right, al

doors-every Ashtabula county man will in g
few days learn this.
The Hon. B. F. WADE, in this way will dis
pei the illusions which have been artfuly cas-
arrund us to has position-he will bring about
an awful opening of eyes-he will tear the

such leader let no man hang back.

last week. They are represented to have
been youthful and graceful in person, and
when they entered the church.were all beauti-
fully alfred, as for their bridaIs. After they
had taken upon themselves the vows of power

in their ugly robes, and many heart bled

Governor Wood has done charitable thing in

attention to the amount of light they may lay
claim to- thus putting them in motion against

genial light of large and truepolicy. There
is general feeling that the spoiLs-men have

The Cuban Tragedy.

The full official accounts of the progress
and termination of the Lopez invasion of Cuba
which we publish to-day establish beyond
cavil the following facts:
/. That the bodies Of the prisoners shot at
Havana with Cristenden and Kerr were not
mutated nor anywise maltreated, and the
story that they had been was fabricated to
excite indignation and procure reinforcements
in this country;
2. Tha: the invaders achieved no important
success at any time, beyond She killing of
Gen. Emma and the consequent repulse OF the
detachment led by him; ,...-....
8. That they killed 1000, 1000, nor even
200 spaniards;
4. That they at no time were able to act on
the offensive, but fought for thier lives from
the. first and were at length surprised and ut
terly routed t.g
5 That, though they wers landed IN the
very quarter of Cuba where Lopez was most
likely to obtain aid, yet they received none of
any kind, and yers not joined by single cor
poral's gaurd from the hour of thier setting
foot on the soil of Cuba;
That the Creoles, or natives of Cube, so
far from affording them such aid as even
towards friendly TO them might safely have
done, eyinced the most active and deadly hos
tility through out to the invaders and their
cause. We cannot doubt that they furnished
the information which led TO the surprised and
route of Lopez; we know that they finally
deceived betrayed bound and delivered him to
Concha.
These things should sink deeply into the
National mind, They should be remembered
whenever lying emissaries assert that Cuba is
ready to revolt on the strength of sly whispers
Of disafecGon from few exiles or grumblers
The Cuban Creoles are of Spanish blood and
faith,-they have the prideof that race and its
antipathies to, Foreign domination; they may
sometimes murmur at thier Colonial condition
but they are not prepared TO see the. National
flag under which they have thus far lived
trailed in the dustbefore theconqueungmarcL
of adventures of alien blood and hostile creed
He who seeks henceforth to get. up armed
expeditions for the conquest of Cuba is Turing
brave aud uninformed men to certain destruc.
ton. Let him be marked
We hope il is true that the lives of the remain
ing prisoners are TO be spared. We trust that
the good offices of our Government may in
time be successfully interposed to favor theil
liberation. But to this end the shameful outra.
ges at New-Orleans on Spanish property and
the Spanish flag must first be amply atoned
for. t ....-e ~,
