AN EARNEST PREAcHER.-Thosew who know
the intense fervor which sharacterizss the
pulpit exeEcises of Rev. ]. c. Styles, will be
amused with the following incident which we
take from the N. Y. observer. Mr. S. had
been speaking at Bible meeting in New
Hampshire:
AS soon as he concluded his impassioned
appeal, and took his seat. good man stepped
up to him, and eagerly asked, 'Hain't you hurt
yourself, sir?'
Not at ALL my good friend replied Mr.,
Styles
WELL you will I never heard sin and per-
dition take it in that style You'll break some
thing inside if you keep on so.'

Statistics, if correct in his statements, pre-
sents truly deplorable state of affairs in our
town, but his remarks are calculated to mis-
lead the public mind in one particular, to wit;
1t would appear from his remarks that the
liquor dealers sold this enormous amount to
the citizens of Fremont alone, whereas they
supply large portion of Sandusky, Seneca,
Hancock, Wood and Ottawa counties, contain
ing inhabitants, in the aggregate, to the num-
Der of $4,000. The citizens of Fremont, al
least large portion of them, are as sober.
industrious and eslimable people as can be
found any where indeed the same may be
said Of majority of the citizens of the eoun-
ty, but is lamentable fact that intemperanee
is rapidly increasing among us, and it becomes
the duty of good and virtuous citizens to use
their influence to eradicate the evil. Let US
petition the legislature to adopt the Maine Ii
quor law. That prohibits its manufacture,
importation and sale Nothing short of that
will have the desired effect-ED FREEMAN.

Look on this PictJl


MR. EDIroR:--I was much pleased to see
that your columns were open to communica-
tions on Temperance, and that you had pub
lished several excellent articles on that sub
ject. am no writer, and do not purpose say
ing but few words.
l,5whh some friends, took the trouble TO as
certain the number of places, in Fremont,
where misery, poverty and death, are dealt
out, wholesale and retail, and find the number
"a; a sad picture, and one that is any thing
but credit to our town. E
Now suppose Fremont contains 1900 in
habitants; then there is liquor house for ev-
cry ssreatyJfpe. And suppose each house
sells, on an average, spirituous liquors to the
amount of three dollars per day; that would
be fire hundred and four dollars per week, or
TWENTY SIX THOUSAND TWO HUN
DRED AND EIGHT DOLLARS per year
This is within some Eve or six thousand
dollars of the whole amount of the yearly tax
es of Sandusky county! And when we con-
slider that there is half as much more sold in
the remainder of the county, we 6nd that we
have the enormous sum of FORTY THOU
SAND DOLLARS expended for this ar.ic-
lie alone! or several thousand dollars more
than the entire taxes of the county!
These sums may sound large. Take them,
then, at one-half the above supposed rates, land
who can point to any equivalent gained Oy our
town for so large an expenditure of money ?
Are our people more happy? Are their per
sons and property more secure? Is there less
misery-less sufering-less degradation ?
Are our young men more secure from ulti-
mate ruin, whilst surrounded by these tempt
ations TO habits Of drunkiness and prodigality ?
Fathers, mothers, are your sons more secure
from ruin-from disgrace-whist day and
night exposed to these allurements to vice and
immortality? Merchants! Men of Business
are your interests as safe in the hands Of your
employees, thus surrounded with temptations
to spend money for that which profteth no.
thing, as they would be in the absence of
these temptations? How many young men,
honest, high-minded and worthy, have been
led astray by these allurements into habits Of
looseness and spandtbrip, which has carried
them on, step by step, until, ultimately, they
have been swallowed up in irretrievable ruin
and disgrace? Christian men and women of

A Row on the Wbig Platform!

The Cincinnati Citizen gives the following
amusing account Of Wing platform affair
til 1t took place in that city:
The Ross House, corner of Court and
Walnut was transformed into political plat
form on which, with grief we speak it, two
whigs mounted TO settle differences. One
was an ardent ScottmQH, and the other an
anti-scott.
Anti Scott, being follower Of Grecly's
at.emped to SPIT ON THE PLATFORM, but un
fortunately, lie spat into Scots face instead.
Scott, fred with all the valor of Lnn5y's
Lane, Chippewa, et hoe ge,lus 0mens-plunsed
into anti Scott most vigorously. "Nten
Wing meets Wing, then comes the tug Of
war" 4 great time was expected, when un'

and confidential muses., who oflatc have be-
come really Troublesome, from their promp

Of it, according to your own showing, IS but
a beggarly account of empty dishes. The
sum total Of your probable for Scott will
not secure his election within fifteen votes,
though you have included Tennessee and
Massachusetts In the list; as you yourselves
must be conscious, without sufficient warrant.
But let the table, with all its ''eold comfort, "
stand. We will leave it, for there IS noth-
ing about it that tempis us to lirger."

CApIz. July q. 1889.

Nf. AuES: The editor of the Republican
in his paper of last week, in an article head
ed '.mcsnness." complains that somebody
has cen charging him Of suppressing-"a
part ofthe eth resolution of the whig plat
form, " and he saws ga certain would be great
man in town, who sspires 10 seat in Con.
gress," has made the charge, which he say:
''is false, and the author Of it is base Sian
derer." Now whohe means by "a certain

unless it is "his man Friday" "wbo aspire

Now never charged Mr.. Hatton of sup
pressing any part of the 9th resolution. as h,

which he copied, and if he says did, it i

What l did say was that the 9Th rcsolu
ton in the whig platform was falsely pub
lished in the North for corrupt purposes, t
make the first impression favorable on tn
minds Of the free sell wings, especiall
the dishonest portion of them, like tn
editor of the Republican. And l SAT-
further, that did not believe that Mr.. Hat
ton would publish the official copy of tn

Another dish Of Cold Soup.

AS the Wings appear 70 have a particular
foundness for Scott Soup this year, we fee
inclined occasionally to serve up for then
few "hasty" dishes, to be taken down when
ever they are afflicted with the Dragging fe
yer.
From our Wing and Democratic exchange.
from all parts Of the country, we continue t.
receive the most unfavorable intelligence
respecting unity and harmony in the Whig
party.
In North Carolina, the home of the Wha
nominee for Vice President, there is not a
ray of hope for the Wing party. The vii,
mington Commercial and the Asheville News,
leading Wing papers-one published in the
eastern and the other in Il C western p art Of
Of North Carclina--are out in the most deci-
dcd term against the Seward candidate. The
Commercial which was against Scott b fore
the meeting Of the Wing Convention, is cx-
ceediDgly severe. The News notice the NOM
naton of Gen. Scott thus:
The news Of this nomination fell like &
coll chill upon the wing party here. They
had hoped that Fillmore would be tho nom.
iEce: and their disappointment and chagrir
verc quite manifest Some of the party de-
clare they will not support him, but stand
aIool lrcm the contest cntleIy,"
In Virginia, the condition of the Whe
party is no better. The Valley Star announ.
ccs that Robt Doyle, Esq, the Wing As
sistant Elector fer Rockbridgc county, has
thrown up his commission, with the decla.
ration that although he has fought the good
fight, and has kept the faith, he has now
finished his course, and henceforth renoun.
ccs Federalism for ever, and will hereafter
cast his lot with the DeD ocrats, who alone
are worthy ofbeing entrusted with the guar
dianship of the Constitution and liberties 0
the people.

In Georgia, the Wing party is in the mos
deplorable condition. Gen. Scotts nomi
nation has produced universal havoc in tn
ranks of Whiggery. The Savannah Georg

says that all the whig papers of Georgia hay
