Locofoco press are still engaged in the oc
cupation Of proving Gen. Scott coward!-
1t is fortunate for Washington that so few
tories existed aftor the Revolutionary War
else he too would have been made the vic
tim of the vituperation and abuse of mel
who feared that they could not get into the
Treasury of the Union, should he be elected
Even he, as it was, had his enemies, and ev-
cry great man will be in similar situation;
but aiterhe has gone from among us and his
memory is held in high estimation, then these
same miserable sianderers will labor to make
political capital by appealing to the peoples
love for him and their reverance for his dis
tinguished public services. Such are the
leaders of Locofocoism.

City Trade.-The harvest season being
about over, our streets begin once more to
assume lively appearance and business is
becoming brisk. 1t is the opinion of those
who have been watching the trade of the
city for several years past, that more busi-
ness will be done this fall than ever before
and we are confident that our energetic mer-
chants and grocers deserve it. All of them
are making preparations to lay in large and
well-assorted supplies, and will be ready to
meet the wants, as well as please the taste
of the community. So far as chcapness is
concerned, we doubt much whether upon
the whole, as good bargains can be had any
where in Central Ohio. For names OF busi-
ness men and the goods they have to sell
those desirous of purchasing will find it con-
venient to consult our advertising columns
