But few weeks since we had occasion
TO refer to this honored and venerable man,
who has filled so large place in the his
tory of Ohio, and who has SO fully shared
the confidence of the people. We little ex
pected that we should be so soon called
uoon to record his death. But such is
human life. He breathed his last peace
fully, after a very brief illness, on the morn
ing of the Doth inst, at his residence in
Morrow county. He came to Ohio in the.
last century; was member of the terrific
rial Legislature, assisted in forming the
first Constitution of the State in 1902; was
for many years the only representative Of
the State in Congress-been in both branches
of the Ohio Legislature, and both houses Of
Congress, and in the lower house repeatedly;
twice elected Governor, and in all positions
and relations discharged every duty faith
fully, wisely, and honestly. AS Chairman
of the committee on the Public Lands in
Congress he particularly distinguished him

his rest, full of years and honors, at tn,

Farmers College.

The closing exercises of the winter term
of this fourishing and popular Institution,
transpired last week. The examinations in
the various departments were thorough and
searching and the result showed that teach
ers and pupils had been diligent and faith
full.
The exhibitions by the two literary sOci-
cites connected with the College, were very
interesting. The young men who delivered
orations acquitted themselves with great
credit Phe Grafton by Mr.. Hshback, OF
Clermont county, on "Ths true Mother,
called forth peculiar praise. So long as
" Farmers College" furnishes such young
men to take their places in society, it musl
command the favor Of the public.
The concluding exercises were increased il
interest by the performances of the National
Band, from the Newport barracks. The
Spring term of the College commences the
second Monday in April.

From our Down East Correspondent.
BANsoR, March 9, 1859.
Messrs EpIroRs Our municipal election
took place yesterday. Temperance and
our temperance law was the only question
prominently brought in, there being no pO-
iitical party issues The interest manifested
was great; it rose even to excitement, and
there was smart contest and heavy vote,
The contest was not between the friends and
enemies Os the law. The latter unGuestinn-
ably know that contest put on that ground
would result in their utter overthrow. The
question at issue was, "shall there be
stringent or a lenient administration of the
law 2" The vote of the city answered,
stringent administration. The men on the
lenient ticket were mostly men Of respecta-
bility and order, men who wish to be under
stood as friends of temperance and of the
law; and the fear was that the question, put
thus adroitly, in this mediating, compromis-
ing shape. would 60 adversely to the good
cause. But it came out right.
While the oppOsers of the Maine law are
raising such triumphant shouts over the
presentation Of asingle petition to the Leg
islatore fofits repeal, and that, too, from an
insignificant locality most exposed to the
rum influence of Portsmouth and Boston,
let us respectfully recommend to their at
tention this demonstration from city, in
population second in that State to only one,
in commercial enterprize and resources, sec
ond to none. Now, gentlemen of the En.
quirer and the Times, be pleased to observe
that the issue referred to, was not between
the advocates and Opposers of the $50 called)
Maine Law, but between those who held
different views of expediency in the manner
of its enforcement. But this result you will
say has been brought about by the influence
of demagogues, for you will have it, that
new race Of these promoters of sedition
have sprung up among us, who are endeav-
oring to seduce the people by course Of
self-denial, into the paths of morality and
virtue. Such developments of seditious in
fuence are not, however, altogether new.
We think the offense somewhat similar TO
the one for which Socrates drank hemlock
at Athens, and one greater than Socrates
suffered death at Jerusalem. These men,
therefore, are not entitled to the credit of
originality, and you, gentlemen, in point of
disiaterested benevolence, are worthy of your
illustrous predecessors, the Athenian judges,
and the Jewish priesthood. You, gentle
men, are not demagogues, at least as you
yourselves apply the term, nor would they
be, were they to change their course and
persuade the people to rescind all regula-
tions for the preservation of public morals
and allow free-trade to your generous
friends and patrons, the distillers and vend-
ers Of ardent spirits. x.

Spirit Rappings.

Many families in Cincinnati, as well as
in other places, in our and other States, are
deeply interested in the phenomena = ac-
ted with animal magnetism, hiolog =
yoyance, ct cetera, Whether the whole. ol
any part Of these manifestations are impo-
sitions and humbugs, we are not prepared
to decide. We know many intelligent men
and women who are firm believers in the
real existence of these wonderful phenomena,
and there are not few who are termed
mediums" who, if it is at all deception,
are themselves deceived, for they are inca
pable practising frauds upon their friends,
We are not of that number who condemn
without investigation whatever may happen
to contradict our preconceiyed opinions, nor
will we yield those opinions for the wild va
carries of enthusiasts, or the slight of hand
and cunning of mountebanks. Our doctrine
is, "prove all things, and hold fast that
which is good"
There is kind of Esprit rappings" in
which we are firm believer, and in the
practical results of which we can fOresee
great good. We mean, of course, that kind
that is rife in old Maine

u In another column viii be found an
account of the discussion Of the Maine Ii
quor Law, on Friday evening of last week,
The meeting adjourned to meet on Tuesday
evening following, at which meeting Rev
Mr. Miley, Rev Mr.. Day, Mr.. CRANBERRY,
and Mr.. French spoke in favor of the law,
and Mr.. Manchester in opposition. Mr.. M.
made a most excellent speech, and had he
not been called up to oppose the law, no
one, from the arguments used, would have
thought he was opposed to the law. He was
in favor of law-acknowledged that all law
heretofore enacted, had utterly failed in sup
pressing the traffic. He believed it wrong
to license an evil-Rnd that the use of spirits
was destructive to life and happiness, but
he could not go for the Maine Law. He
was in favor of moral suasion, but wanted
a law to prevent intrusion from without.
His opposition to the Maine Law is only
in name, and not in fact. His speech on
Tuesday night proves that he is reliable
temperance man, and that he is with us
heart and hand-save he is opposed to the
Maine Law. ....

himself and large number of the hands
engaged in one of the large foctories of this
city, signed a temperance petition, which
he afterwards learned was found among the
fourteen thousand dremonstrances sent up from
this county. The participators in such %

be exposed. We hope our informant may
succeed in obtaining the names of those en-
gagged in this rascality.
