SPIRIT OF '76.-The wings of Cambridge,
Ind, held meeting on Thursday evening
last, which breathed of the spirit of re
The assemblage was large and enthusiastic.
1t had been announced publicly, that Pat
rick Garrity---a son Of "Erin's Green Isle"
would address his fellow countrymen on the
occasion, and expose the falsehoods thrown
upon the character of Winfield Scott by the
so called democracy. Although the Locos had
threatened his life NTH the mob, still Patrick
Gnrrity, undaunted,. stood up and eloquenty
exposed, the falsehoods and the policy Of Lo-
cofocoism, to his countrymen. He eloquent
ly alluded to the hostility of locofocoism, a.
gainst internal mprovcments--Said he, fell
low Irshmrn,-"H is whig policy, that
builds our railroads and canals, gives us la
Dor for our support, while Locofocoism would
silence the workshops and supply the peo-
pie from the manufactures of Birmingham
and Leeds" Mr.. G's remarks were listen
cd to with the utmost attention, and had the
right effect upon his countrymen. Mr.. G.,
is ready debater and very familiar with tho
principles Of Government. As soon as for
eigners understand the character of the two
parties, they no longer fight under the 80
called Democratic banner.-CGmbridge Re

THE New POSTAGE LAw.-The new
cheap postage law for newspapers, passed at
the recent session of Congress, is n consider
able improvement on the former measure, az
thcreis no variation Of charges according to
different distances. BY this new law, one
cent postage is charged upon newspapers
under three ounces in weight to any part OF
the United States, ind one-hulf this charge
when the postage is paid yearly or quarterly
in advance. This prepayment can either
be made Mt the office where mailed, or pherr
delivered; though the latter fact was not sta
ted in the law as it has been published, and
which proves to have been an Imperfect CO.
Py. This uniform rate Of one cent through
out tho country is certainly veryconvenient,
and considerable advance in the cheap
postage reform.
On newspapers Of one ounce and half in
weight, and circulating in tho State where
published, the postage chargeable will be
one-hulf cent and one-quarter cent per copy,
according as the postage is prepaid or not
Out Of the State, these newspapers pay the
same rates Of postage as the three ounce
newspapers. The publishers of weekly
newspapers may send to oach actual subscri-
Der, within the county where their papers
are printed and published, one copy there
of free of postage, Transient newspapers,
if not prepaid, ure to be charged two cents
per copy. The law is to go into effect on
the 30th of present month.-Bdlt. Sun.

Who ARE THEY!-Doctor Olds in his
speech suid that in the War of 1879, GER
tain persons mot in Hartford and took sides
against their country and Others burnt blue
lights upon the coast of Connecticut, to light
theenomy's . ships into their harbors,and nti-
mated that there was such party in the
country now. We agree with him. These
tories and blue-light federalists rejoiced
when they heard of the surrender of Scott
and his gallant comrades at Queenstown
Heights, and who does the same thing new!

FREAKS OF A MAD BDLL.--0n Monday.
a large bull, which was being driven through
the Third avenue in New York, broke loose
from his driver, scattering the people ona
every side, and making clear road before
him. He made dash at barber's shop.
and succeeded in breaking into it, whenhe
was attacked by a man armed with an axe, j,
who struck him a severe blow upon the
head. This only infuriated him more, ands
catching the man upon his horns he gored
him in shocking manner. He next at--
tackled and killed a small boy in Fifth street,
before he could be secured.

DECLARATION OF WAR.-The German
Wards, in Cincinnati are in great commo-
tion. The war against the Miami tribe
grows more bitter and general. Flags, ban
ners and devices; indicating the hostility of
the people to them, abound in all tho dis
tricts beyond the Rhine-that is, north OF
the canal, and in all the German neighbor-
hoods. Public meetings are held, and fiery
resolutions passed, denouncing all who were
members Of that infamous secret society,"
The Cincinnati papers contain an author
lied edition of Mr.. REEMELrN's speech, at n
great meeting of tho Germans; and, as his
views are the views of thousands, we give
that part which is Of the most immediate in
terest. II is serious breach, and must be
healed somehow, or Locofocoism in Hamilton
Is doomed.
Let me say, then, in conclusion, that, as
sure ns the party insists to keep its silence
in reference to the Miami tribe, as suIe us
find men on the Democratic ticket, wilfully
members Of the Miami tribe, and who sought
and obtained n nomination from il, and who
will not publicly and distinctly recant their
error, just so suro will scratch those names
from tho Democratic ticket on the second
Tuesday Of October next, and thousands
will do it with me. Appause. We would
rather not do it, but principle dictates it, and
so help US God, we will doit, il we live till
thcn, call us what you please, unless due re-
pcntance from these men stays our hand.

STRIKING PoRrRAIr-By one Of th'
Fdmiy.-The Cincinnati Citizen, the new
Locofoco paper, has New York Locofocc
corcspondent,who signs himself"St. Thorn
as Aquinns." In that paper of the 9th inst
is letter from him, giving sketch Of the
terribly turbulent spirit of Democracy
The Locofocos had just held their primary
clectons for delegates to their party conven-
tione We have read in Wing papers
sketches of such disgraceful scenes, but now
we have them acknowledged and recorded
by Iocofoco. Let the people read and
ponder on this state of affairs. Where are
We progressing, and how soon shall we land
in utter anarchy, IL this class of men ru'c
the nation! Read this extract from nm eye
witness:
But from one end of the city to the other,
was the most extraordinary scene Of disor-
der confusion and fighting, that ever was
seen in tho country. Liquor flowed freely,
and blood soon followed, and the pressure to
the polls was terrible in the extreme. Fists,
sticks, and bricks were used, and freely, and
pistols now and then made their appearance.
II was no light skirmishing, but thick and
bloody battle; hammers were planted to use
the phrase of the fancy, upon noses, and in
breadbaskets; and many one, who, under
the influence of rum, stood stoutly up, is this
morning as stiff and uneasy as q sour head
ed bear In the grog shops around the polls,
bottles, chairs, windows, window shutters,
aud every movable thing was smashed up,
and frequently amid tumultuous uproar
which de6es description, could be seen the
crowd passing II follow over their heads, and
making himvotc horizontally, or MS we might
say, 'on the square,
"Thc Fourth Ward, perhaps, took the
palm; they pitched into each other like the
bulls of Bashah, head, horns, and all;
blood spirited in every direction, and run
da~n the faces and necks of the combatnnts
in perfect creeks. Their clothes were torn
to fragments, and there was scarce ribund
of shirt left upon n single back many
were knocked down and carried off nsensi.
BILE, but II did not slacken the a-dor of the
remaining party"

AN OLD SoLDIER.-Among the new re-
cruits to the Scott army in Wayne county,
is Mr.. A. G. Butler, soldier in the war of
1912. He says that "heswill, ,.stick.to the
General while there is button on his coat
and when that is gone, he will stick to the
coat" He adds,"do for him whatever you
can, you cannot do too much. He is one
that guarded our land" AS DR.. Olds would
say, "forward, march!' SCOTT LEADS
THE COLUMN.

0-TDr. Olds says that, if he wanted a
General to fight his battles, he would vote
for Scott. Exactly so. The Doctor volun-
teered to go to Mexico and then backed ont.
1t would suit him very well to live at Wash
ington and quarter himsolfupon the Treas
ury, out of the reach of danger, manufactur-
ing War and voting that other men should
go within reach of the ballots. but the peo-
pie, we imagine, will think that those men
who breasted the danger and led over ar
mics on to victory, arc deserving of other
stations. They won't be so fond Of maxi
king Wars as those who don't do the fight

"GALPHISrsM."-To pay an old revolution
ary claim and interest, the principal having
been voted by Democratic Congress as
justly due, is considereda fraud upon the
Treasury. That is a debateable question.
But how is thisl When old Father Ritchie
was proprietor of the "Union" newspaper,
he agreed to do the public printing for cer-
tain price, and afterwards complained that
he had lost money. A Locofoco Congress
thereupon votes him 100000 without the
shadow of fan excuse, thus giving that sum to
purtizan editor: The expense they will
charge upon Wing administration. And
yet this is not all. They have repealed the
contract law and quurtercd their organ upon
the Treasury, in order to keep it oflont.
After nearly nine months of unremitting
exertion, writes the Washington corrcsPon-
dent of the N. Y. Courier, the Washington
Union is at last pensioned on the Treasury,
with revenue princely grandeur, making
more than nmends for all past delay, and
providing RESOURCES which might keep the
establishment of an East India Nabob in Ori
entail mngnificencc. Our Democratic adj
versarics have way of doing things when
they start about t,tbat is ga caution" In the
present case they have deliberately violated
the faith of an existing contract, and for no
other purpose than to sustain party organ
here, and to provide the means Of carrying
on Presidential campaign-they devised q
scheme by which favorite editor is ODE en-
riched annually, and that fat pigeon, called
the Treasury, isto be regularly plucked.-
Neither the Union nor General Armstrong
are censurable for taking care Of their own
interests; but the party which SO flagrantly
tramples under foot every profession Of c.
economy, and by such acts exhibits its wan
ton disregard of principle, should be held nc
countabie and exposed for ma[appropriaton
Of the public money.

LasnleSsness, evening, the house of
one of our citizens was entered, the man
was taken therefrom, and severely maltreat-
ed. We care not what the cause was; the
remedy was worse than the disease. The
Government was formed and the laws insti-
tuted for the protection of our lives, our per-
sons, our property and reputation. The law
names the crimes; the law gives the remedy.
A departure from it in one case, will lead to
similar violations, and what was first intend
ed for good, will surely result in evil. An
archy and insubordination must follow, and
we might as well have no government. We
know not what foundation there may have
been for any such proceedings; we ofcourse
cannot fathom the difficulties, nor do we, for
our present purpose, care. Every good cit
izen must regret that such a course was ta-
ken. We are all interested in the observ-
ance OF the laws; if the remedy is not sufti-
cient, let it be changed; but to take the law
in our own hands is not in accordance with
our institutions and should not for mo-
ment be tolerated. A sober-second thought
will even cause those who were engaged in
the mob to regretit. individuals do not form
the proper tribunal before which to attest
mans guilt or innocense. The law points
out the means--and its instructions should
be observed. Men, in the excitement of the
moment, are not apt to dojustice, and hence
the necessity of avoiding all such hasty pro-
ceedings. If an individual is guilty, let him
suffer the penalties of the law; but if he is
not and is punished, who is to be the next
sufferer! Where, if mob law is tolerated,
will it end! Can any one tell!

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT Cincinnati
Gazette, of Wednesday, brings us the follow
ing important intelligence. This movement
among the Germans is but the first of very
general demonstration, tending to the same
result;
"GREAr GERMAN MEETING AT LICK RUN
ON MoNDAY--THe Germ0n Population ReSolu-
ing 10 Support The Wing TicsaH!-A large
and most spirited meeting Of the Germans
Of Lick Run Zone of the Western suburbs
of CincinnatD and vicinity, was held on
Monday evening, the proceedings of which
are Of the most important character.
Peter Hezh was chosen President, nnd
Mchal Gessler Secretary.
The call Of the meeting was for "the
REAL DEMOCRACY" and real Democratic
meeting IL was.
After able speeches from Messrs. Rehfuss,
Miller and others, series of resolutions wns
presented and adopted unanimously.
The substance of one of the resolutions is,
that tho Germans of that portion Of the city
will, at the ensuing election, VOTE THE
WING TICKET. The rensons for this
course arc given. Disguised at the secret
cables of the Miami Tribe, with the hypoc-
racy and double dealing of the self-styled
Democratic party, they look upon the Wing
party as the party Of progress, Us the liberal
and truly Republican Democratic party Of
the nation.

week somewhat curious circumstance took
place in Meiglc parish church. The prccep-
tor, after proclaiming the banns of matrimo-
ny between the young couple, concluded by
snying-"If there be any objections they can
now be stated"
A fashionable youth, an old admircr of the
intended bride, noticing the eyes of the con-
gregation fixed upon him, rose up and ex-
claimed-"Ihavc no objections for my own

NATIvIsM.--Dr. olds admits that Scott
had written letter in which he stated that
he was favorable to our present nnturalza-
ton laws and even went for extending them
in particular case; but ho added that Gen.
Scott was not sincere in this because he
had an eye to the Presidency. All we have
to say is, that the records Of the country
show that Gen. SCOTS word is at least as
good as DR. Olds' oath.

Northern part of the county, whose word is
as good as, his bond, writes US, "that one of
his ncighbors, who has always voted the
Democratic ticket, is now warm Scott
man." This is only u sample of lot of
sHh intelligence received from different
parts of the county. The ISLANDERS heapcd
by tho leaders of the Locofoco party, upon
one of the best and most patriotic citizens of
the country, are, like chickcns "coming home
to roost." Proceed, gentlemen! If you
think there is no hereafter, and should hap

COUNTY ExrEEsEs.-The taxpayers Of
this county are already advised that they pay
dearly for a county government, we might
say twice as much as there was any necessi-
ty for, for no other reason than to reward
hungry partizans, who take pride in liv-
ing upon their wits rather than their labor.
Hamilton county, under the control of SINH
lar men, fairly groans under the BURDEN
Last year, six thousand dollars were paid for
Attorneys fees; three hundred and sixty -sev-
en- dollars for the travelling expenses of the
Commissioners; five hundred and eighty dol
lars for pension agent, for which there was
no law. How like Fairfield, taking the
difference Of wealth and population into the
account.
BLAsPHEMY.--In his speech on Saturday
evening last, DR.. Olds probably exceeded
himself in hlackguurdism, obscene remarks
and blasphemy. In alluting to the unfor-
tunate occurrence of Gen. Pierce's faiDting
in Mexico, he said that there was nothing
particularly Objectionable in that, all per-
SONS were liable to such misfortunes,
"Christ himself tainted"
To the honor of the audience, be it said,
their very looks denoted that the remark
chilled almost the entire assembly. We put
this upon record now, for we want no denial
hereafter.
