The Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1852-1853, 1852-12-22

Commencing at Uhrichsyille the line shows
the following character; it follows up Still
water to the mouth of Standingstone, up
that run to its source about half a mile north
of Cadiz, a distance of III miles, the total
rise of which is about 250t feet. At this
summit there will be required a tunnel of
1900 yards, which by raising the grade to
go feet for three miles could be reduced 10
600 yards, and a grade of 40 feet per mile
at each end, for a distance in all, of about
g. miles. No other grade on the route ex-
ceeds 25 feet to the mile. The line contin-
ues down Short creek at a regular slope for
"a miles, to the Ohio river.
To this road there can be no objection or
opposition-the right of way will be freely
given for the whole line, the trade extensive,
and subscriptions large. We have no doubt
all the subscriptions taken for the Wellsville
route, below. Warren, amounting to about
100000 dellars, would readily be transfer
red to that route. We have also no doubt
but the citizens of Wheeling, and probably
of Cleveland, would readily transfer their
stock, and as the city has not subscribed to
the Central Ohio road, that it might be dis
posed to throw that subscription into this
road as it could not fail to pay largely
The local trade alone, is estimated, by our
most careful operators, at Z per cent. on its
whole cost. The people along the line to
Uhrichsyille are rich and would take, we
believe, $500, 900 of the stock. las .s,
1t is thus manifest that the citizens OF
Wheeling have now before them a route
which presents no possible obstruction, has
no Steubenville on its route, will be as short
as any route to northern Ohio, and present
a much shorter one than any other from
Baltimore to Chicago and Northwest gener-
ally. ..-5.. .s a.
We'ask the earnest attention of our citi-
zens to this route and the concentration Of
that power upon it which will build it.

Judge Jewett.

We have heardth name of this gentle
man used in connection with the office Of
Judge of the Supreme Court. Mr.. Jewett
is a genuine, radical Democrat, and has long
ranked as one of he most eminent jurists in
the State. We are not apprised that Judge
Us. name has been used in this c%onnexion
with his knowledge or appreciation, but we
do know that an ADLER lawyer, a more talen-
ted man, or a sounder or more reliable
Democrat, than Thomas L.. Jewett, cannot
be nominated for Judge of the Supreme
Court.-New Lisbon I dtriot.
Eg~ Our friend Gill pays in the above,
nothing more than a just tribute to Judge
Jewett. Mr.. ]. makes the best Judge that
we have ever had in this district. His gen.
tlemanly manners and correct decisions Of
the law, have endeared him to both members
of the bar and the people generally. If Mr..
J. is willing to receive the nomination Of Su-
preme Judge, and the Convention dominates
him, he will receive a larger vote in this
section of the State, than has even yet been
given to any man for any Office. If he de-
sires the office, we hope that he may be
nominated, for a man more competent to fill
the Office cannot be found in the State.
In what we have said above, we speak
nothing more than the opinion of all those
who know Judge Jewett.

Ohio Statesman.

Below We publish the prospectus Of this
able democratic paper, the organ Of the
Ohio Democracy. The Statesman is now
thrown upon its subscription, advertising,
DC, for suppOrt-having been deprived Of
all State patronage; and it behooves the de-
mocracy of Ohio, if they wish to have an
able exponent of their principles, at the
Capital of the State, to give an increased
support to the Statesman. 1t will be seen
by the prospectus that Col. Medary has ia

Of the Cleveland and Wheeling road, and
also with the road from New Philadelphia

Chicago and the whole northwest.
BY this route we penetrate the centre Of
Harrison, one Of the richest agricultural and
manufacturing counties in the State, includ-
ing in the range the rich towns of Mount

The time is again com for the publica-
ton of our annual proposals, many of our
present subscriptions being about to expire.
1t is not necessary to remark at length
upon the value of a Democratic newspaper,
published at the Capitol of Ohio. Nor
need we say more as to what the Ohio States
man will be in future, than that it will be
what it las been in the past, with such i'm
provements in all respects as our long expe-
rience may suggest.
Great changes have taken places in our
political history. A whig Administration
has just been voted out of power, and a
Democratic Administration voted in. The
unparalleled majority Of the American pco-
pie, who have joined in this decree, shows
of itself that vast changes are expected by
the people in the political world. New times
are upon us. The ensuing four years.. are
expected TO be critical. As ever, the people
have decided with startling3emphasis, that
the nation shall be under Democratic Pilot
age.
AT such a time, the Statesman becomes Of
more importance to the Democracy of Ohio,
than ever. There are many troublesome
questions in our Foreign Relations, for the
Administration Of FRANKLIN PIERCE to solve
and settle. The people will desire to be
kept advised upon all such matters, as they
progress, and Of course it will become our
duty to devote a large share of attention to
their discussion.
In domestic politics, both National and
State, it is the universal expectation that the
times ahead are to be full of stirring interest
and busy movement. All departments OF
the Government are in the hands Of the
Progressive Democratic Party. Under the
impulse of that party, there will be no idle
ness in our affairs all must be activity
The patrons of the Statesman know without
specific assurances from us, where it will be
at such times.
We are hcnceforth compelled to look to
our friends throughout the State, for sup.
port. All official patronage has been strip
ped away from papers at the Capitol. I'm.
+ like almost every other State in the Union,
our victories in this State, though always
expected to be fought for by the press, arc
as barren TO the victorious as to the defeat.

will easily understand that we cannot do so
without a general and increased supper
from their hands.

SENATE:-0n motion of Mr., Mungen, the
Senate resolved itself into a Committee of the
Whole on the bill to prevent the further set
Element of Ohio by blacks and mulattoes,
Mr.. Cox in the Chair.
Mr. Riddle, for the purpose of asserting
the reasons for introducing the bill, moved
to strike out the first section.
Mr.. Pardee would not oppose the bill now.
He desires to do it in open Senate, that the
people might know what we were doing.
Mr.. Gushing said he was willing to ex-
press his sentiments IN committee or open
Senate, as occasion might require. He had
introduced this bill at the request of his
constituents; it was the voice Of bis consti-
tuency, expressing their will and wishes in
the only proper way hat it could be done in
Ohio; and he represented as respectable a
constituency as any member on this floor
that the bill had been introduced in good
faith, as a Senator, without regard to party
and party influence, or party effect; It was
not q sectional measure. Some thought
that the party f~avoring this bill would be
eternally doomed; that though this bill might
be defeated, and though he heard the thun'
der from the north, and saw the lightning
from the south, the time would come when
one like it would be placed upon the statute
books of Ohio. He did not like TO see gen,
tlemen handle this subject as with gloves; il
must be met in Ohio, and he wished to hcaI
from every Senator oil this f?or, as to the
voice of every Senator's constituency. Ii
could not be done in committee of the whole
because he also desired that the people nigh
hear of the discussion, and if he and hi
constituents were in the wrong they woule
acknowledge the corn; if not, let the people
say so; that if this bill were submitted tt
t the people, he was sure it would be carried
through triumphantly.
:. The bill was read through and reported
back without amendment, and on motion o
Mr.. Gushing, referred to a select committe'
of one, Mr.. Cushing that committee.

ing committee on Privileges and Elections,
to which was referred Senate bill No. 145,
to regulate the election Of State and co unity

The amendment was in reference to the
amount to be paid to officers presiding oven
elections.
Mr.. Finok moved that they be paid each
$3.50 per day, Disagreed to.
Mr.. Pardee moved 81 per day. Disagreed
to.
The original amendment was So for the
election which was then agreed to.
Mr.. Finck moved to recommit the bill to
the standing committee on Privileges and
Elections, with instruction to make the time
for closing the polls at 5 o'clock p. M. Yeas
and nays demanded, resulted-yeas II,

The bill was engrossed, and ordered to
its third reading to- morrow,
Mr.. Peppard moved to reconsider Senate
bill No. IA, to provide for laying out free
Turnpike Roads, DC. The President said
that the motion introduced certain new ques-
tons of order, on which he would like to
have time for consideration, and asked that
it might be laid over till tomorrow, which
would not defeat the Senator's purpose;
that no question could be reconsidered more
than once by the same body, according to
she code Parliamertary-that this bill was
brought up for its final passage during the
last session of the present Assembly, and
the vote on it was less than a constitutional
majority. The vote was rec~onsidered, and
the bill laid on the table. At the present
session it was taken up and passed. The
question was now on reconsidcring the vote.
Mr.. Peppard withdrew the motion of re.
consideration, and offered a resolution re-
quiring a message TO be dispatched TO the
House for the bill.
The resolution was discussed by Messrs.
Peppard, Pardee, Muhgen, Johnston, Ri ;e,
Flnck and Sherman. The yeas and AVS
were demanded, and resulted-yeas 9, nays
