Let it be considered by every voter, that
the election NEXT TUESDAY, is to pro
uounce the judgement of the people on the
last winters proceedings Of the Legislature
That body will again meet in few weeks
and unless the stern rebuke of .he voters ol
Ohio is visited upon their party for their ex'
travagant, prohigate, and reckless waste Of
the peoples money last winter. they will con-
tnue the same course at the next session.
Here are the facts, Tax Payers! Read
them, and then show them to your neighbors'
Let the people spurn all party shackles, and
speak out honestly against and Indignantly
against their dishonest servants. The Loco
party in this State promised the people q
cheap government, if they would allow them
to make a new Constitution. Their prom
ises were believed, and the power was given
over to them. They accordingly made a
new Constitution, at a cost of 100000 more
than it required to make the old Constitution
and then they elected Legisla ture under it,
with Loco majority of almost .wo-thirds in
both branches. They inserted clause in the
new Constitution, requiring the Legislature TO
hold its session once every two years, and
then in plain violation of the spirit, if not the
letter of that Constitution, their first Legis.
lature under it, resolved to hold taOo sessions
the first gear! The first of these two sessions
| was prolonged by party speeches, party meas
ures, and party chickering's for the long period
of FOUR MONTHS, at an expense greater
than the expenses of the Wing Legislature
for FOUR YEARS, while the Wings held
power in the State The following figures
are complied from the most reliable sources
The total amount of expenditure is shown BY
the laws last winter, which cen be found in the
Office of any Justice of the Peace. The ap-
preparations for pay of members and officers
of the Legislature, and other exp enses of that
body, (see pages 325-32,) amounted to $780,
900. Then look at the appropriations for the
same items by the Whig Legislature, (March
2, 1S46,) amounting to only $4,000, being
less than one fourth the amount for whole
years session, than the Locos have spent, for
half a years session.
Here are the items of expenditures for Leg
islalive purposes, last session:
Per diem of Members Isl each
per day-12o days,) 62,sso
Do for Clerks, Sergeats-at
arms and Assistants, at same rate, 1890
Do for l2 Messenger Boys lat

Legislative expenses for .fom
years ofwhig rule, (from 1874 to 1s4S)l14-
478

The Printing item is one third less for a
whole year than the Locofoco bill for half a

number of politicol loafers quartered on the
Legislature last winter in reward for their
party services was 4s, as follows:

CHEERING EHcoURAGEMEEr.--M Ed
itor:--Our German naturalized citizens
are turning their attention, in the hon
est pursuit of truth, to the policy Of the
Government, and are becoming strong aud
earnest advocates for the protection Of the
Labor and Interests Of the working Classes.
This is source Of sincere qualification to
all true Americans, and Of cheering hope to
the Patriot. No class Of men among US 10
more industrious than our Germans, and
none has deeper stake in the prosperity Of
the country. They exert in the discussion
ofpublic affairs, and at the sllot-box, a vast
power over our elections, and, consequently
in shaping the policy Of the Government.
Put that power on the side Of good meas
urs, and the growth, happiness and prosperi-
ty ofthe country will be certain. They are
rejecting men,-frm and steadfast in their
oPinions,-independent in spirit, speech and
action,-hold firmly to their rights, and
have quick and vigorous perceptions of abuse
and oppression, in all their forms. Such
qualities will make them good citizens, and
will give to their support of the true and
vital measures OF the country, the highest
value. They feel strongly, like men, that
the corrupt and wastolul expenditure ofmon-
~, by the men now in power, in Ohio, robs
them of too much Of the fruits of their hard
toll, and thutit costs them too much TO keep
such men in office. They know, too, that
the more we do, and make, in our own coun-
try, the more employment, and the higher
wages, we will have,-the better it will be
for the laborer and his children, and for the
whole country. .....
The mind, character and interests of the
German will put him on the right side OF our
public questions, and his frmness will place
him among its most reliable supporters.

signs of the times. have long been cheer.
ed by strong laith, that time, experience
and intelligence, acting upon the high traits
in the German character, would make then

begin to behold the fullillment of my hope.

0<TIf the report of Davy TOd's speech,
as given by the Eagle, be correct, it was con-
fined altogether to the showing that the
Wings have labored since the foundation Of
the government to keep foreigners from vot-
ing. The Wings have been in power sew
eral times and no such result has happened;
but in New Hampshire, where Gen. Pierce
and his friends have the exclusive power,
large portion of the foreigners are deprived
of the right to hold Office. Facts speak
louder than words" OH now such men as
poor Davy Tod love foreigners when they
want their votes, and how the same men hate
them when they want office at is mighty
clever men you are," say they, "and you will
vote for MS sure;" but when the compliment
is asked in return and they want Davy Tod
and his followers to vote for them, the tune is
changed, aud then they say with the New
Hampshire Locoocos, "no you don't; you
may vote as long as you vote for us, but you
have noright to hold e;-these are par
celled out for the faithful alone" We are
glad that the miserable demagogusm OF
these fellows has been exposed by the NOM
nation of their party for the Presidency.

0TDr. Luther V. Bell has been nominat-
ed for Congress, in the With District of
Massachusetts. Dr. Bell was member of
the Baltimore Convention, and voted fifty
three times for Mr.. Webster; yet, when the
nomination Of Gen. Scott was made, DR..
Bell arose and said that, although he could
not speak forthe State at large, yet he could
speak and would speak for his district, the
old Bunker Hill district. That district would
sustain, and he would sustain, the nomina-
ton of Gen. Scott. f.I" 81.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN!-We learn, upon
good authority, that Gen. Cass on Wednes-
day gave dinner to some Of his political
friends but that, for some unexplained cause,
he neglected to ertena an limitation to Senator
Douglas! What does it mean? We also
learn that during his speech, in the afternoon,
he referred so frequently and so signifi-
cantly to the charge of "Old Fogyism," ("
which Douglas had preferred against him.
that the "Young Giant," ,"who was sitting by
his side, left the stand with signs of marked
displeasure. The little evidences of i'll feel.
ing and jealousy amongst our opponents are
much to be regretted, if not really distress

Mr.. EDIToR:-The people in Rushcreek
township, have taken some twelve thousand
dollars, conditional, stock in the railroad,
provided it comes down the valley, and there
has been some four thousand dollars taken,
unconditional, in the road, which together
makes about sixteen thousand dollars for Old
Rushcreek 1t has been said that the Rush
creek people ought not to huve said road,
because they would not take any stock. You
will see that this Is mistake. The people
in Rushcreek township have always been
willing to do their mite, if the roud would
come down the valley, and now stand ready

days appointed for railroad barbacues and

Burns AND ScALDs.-Reese's Medical
Gazette gives cure for scolds and burns,
The knowledge Of which for humanity's
sake, should be as widely known to the peo-
pie, as it is to the medical profession. 1t
says: In any case Of burn or scald, however
extensive, all the acute suffering Of the pa
ticnt may at once and permanently be reliev-
ed and that in moment of time by sprinkling
over the injured surface thick layer OF
wheat flour, by the hand, or..what is better,
by dredging box. Every vestige of pain
produced by such injuries is instantly remov-
eG, and the sufferer not only escapes the
shOck,,t to the nervous system accompanying
such torture, but will generally fall in to
quiet sleep the moment the atmospheric
temperature is thus excluded from the
wound. Multitudes are annually perishing
by scalds in steaInboats, and from burns by
camphene, spirit-gas, aud otherwise; nearly
all o! whom night be preserved from a fa-
tai result, if this simple practice were adopt
ed Immediately after such accidents. We
hope that every individual will remember
this remedy. and adopt it when occasion re-
quires it.-PaiLa. Ledger.

Mr.. VINroN's OPIziuS.-Mr. Vinton, in
his remarks at the Whir meeting, on Tues
day. said that he had known General Scott
intimately, for twenty years. He had been
privileged to meet with him probably u hum
dred times in the company of the abiest
statesmen Of this country, and with the rep
resentatives of foreign countries. He con-
sdered General Scott to be one Ofthe best
read men in the civil and political history Of
the country whom he ever knew. He had
frequently been surprised at the fullness and
accuracy of the Generals knowledge ia re.
gard to early Legislative history of the United
States and Of the several States. He sell
dom met, in these conversations OF inteli-
gent statesmen, gentleman of as correct
information upon all subjects pertaining to
the civil administration OF the government,
as General Scott; and he never knew a man
who had higher respect for the laws and
civil authority OF the country. He believed
General Scott to be in every respect entire
ly qualifi ed TO perform the duties olthe Of
fee of President, with high honor to him
self, and with great usefulness TO the couE-
try.
He had also known Gen. Piece several
ycars-having been Il member of the House
during Mr.. Pierce's term of service in tue
body. Dir. Pierce was quiet, gentlemanly
man in his department, and maintained
friendly relations with his fellow members.
But he was never considered, by his party,
nor by his warmest friends, as "man OF
mark" and nobody sought to learn his views
upon any great measure of public policy
! He was not put forward to advf cate or de-
fend even party measures, nor placed By a
party Speaker Oh committees where impor-
tant work was expected. One thing, alone
was expected of him, to wit: that he woulC
l''vote to a scribe what he considered to bt
New Hampshire Democracy!
Mr.. Ninton contrasted the history Of Scot
and Pierce, not so much as military men a
civilians, at some length, an
said that in view of that history, and froI
his own knowledge of the two men, che h1
no hesitancy in saying that the civH qualif
cations-he would not presume to assure hi
audience thathis military capacity was equn
to that of Gen. Pierce-[roars Of laughter
