The weekly Lancaster gazette. (Lancaster, Ohio) 1852-1855, 1852-12-09

or two since, alluded TO the endorsement OF
Mr.. Medary by the College Of electors, who
were chosen to cast the vote ofthe State TOR
Pierce and King and nothing else. We find
n more extended account in the Ohio State
Journal.
"Before they finished their official bust
ness" SAYS the Journal, ''they drew up a pa
per, directed to "His Excellency Franklin
Pierce, President elect of the United
States" wherein the claims and services OF
sour distinguished fellow-citizen, Col. Sam
uel Medary," were duly set forth, and clos
ing with a request that the said Medary
might be honorrl with a seat in the forth
coming Cabinet. This petition was circu-
lated and pressed upon the Electors, even
BEFORE the official business was completed.
AS near as we can learn, eighteen or nine
teen of the twcnty-three Electors signed 1t.
Some of them peremptorily and sturdily re-
fused. and we understand that Hon. Barna-
has Burns, of Richland, was not asked to
sign it.
"The fact, however, that a paper was got
up, and signed by a large majority of them,
asking for the appointment Of Medary to
some post in the Cabinet is notorious. 1t
was seen and read by Wings as well as LO-
c~ofocos, and 10 attempt at privacy was
made. The other fact, that the Medary fac
ton is now in the ascendant in the party and
that Allen g. Co. are to be considered as
used up, cast off, and saroted. is equally well
known.
"The Miami tribe have held a session for
some days in Columbus after some manUuv-
ering, we learn that they all wheeled into
line, and determined TO do their utmost for
their dear brother Samuel of the Ohio States
man. SO this document was got up and
Lean, the Great Chief of the Miamis, was
selected az the messenger to Washington
and, at the same time, he is to bear this 9th
or equally important document, to His Elk
c~ellency, Gen Pierce, and urge the grea'
claims Of the Colonel for a fat post. 1t il
also understood that he is to give the Presi
dent elect the right start about the distribu
ton II the spoils in Ohio. No Anti MAN
is to have even nibble at the cobs. Reemc
lin g. Co. are to be prescribed. Allen &C,
are to be buried in the ashes OF despair.
I'm the 9th Of Japunry Convention, 1876
Col. Morgan said, the reason no Ohio Den
crat could get an Office from Polk, was, tn,
If any one was recommended to him, at lea
half a dozen others stood by, ready 10 cuth
throat. This game of cutting throats hH
been commenced by the Miamis before tn
Inauguration. Allen is done fo", in advance
Whether enough of his mourning FRIEND
WILDE ready to apply the knife to Mcdary
throat, remains to be seen.
There isa good time coming b,ys-wait a liitlo longc

All to be prescribed, if Gen. Pierce tax,

F0REtGN TRADE OF LAKE PoRTs.--T
rapid increase of direct foreign importation
to Lake Ports, is beginning to excite attic
ion. The Sandusky Register publish,
The Statistics Of eleven of these ports of Ell
try, for lS5o-5l and 1912, by which it a
pears that the total importations amount
$4,000 for 1901; for 1856 TO $542, 0C
An increase of $l62, 900, or about A p
cent. in one year! The amount of dutit
collected at the less important posts on Ii
Lake, is not given in the report.
There are, in all, in tho United Stale
1903 ports of entry, in which the total duti,
of l950-6l amounted to $48 ,6S8, 900, and
lS5l-52, to $47, 33O, 1926; thus showing, tn,
while there was a large falling off in the O.
gregate amount Of duties collected, there VI
an enormou increase in the duties paid
Lake Ports. This increase, simultnneo
with a decrease in the Commerce Of the A
lantic States, indicates a change in the cha
mel Of our Importations, and is the result of
growing business with the Canadian Pro
inces. This fact alone establishes 1
claim of the Lake Ports to liberal approp
atins, for Harbor improvements, and p,
them on the same footing, with regard to
Foreign Trade, as the Atlantic Ports.
The table given contains some curic
results. The Commerce of Oswego
1912, as compared with that of the pr
ceding year, exhibits a slight decrease :wh
that Of Bufalo shows an increase of $24,OC
or about % per cent. In the Port Of Clev
land, the increase is $4,000, or So per Gel
yearly. Sandusky shows an increase gres
err than that Of Cleveland and Buffalo col
bined--the increase being $62, 900, or M
than three hundred per cent.
