into an attack which they never contemplated on

The Doomed City.

The conditioned the Fourth -districtcem-
etery and Potter's Field, at New Orleans,
if what is asserted be true, is enough to
breed pestilence. A correspondent oi
the Delta, who visited them on the 9th
inst, says:
The civilized world would scarcely be-
lieve, that in the wealthy and fourishing
city of New Orleans, hundreds of human
bodies-carcasses they might more prop
erly be termed-have been allowed to re-
main in the cemetery, exposed tothe broil-
ing sun, purifying the atmosphere, and
when disposed of-by process dignified
by the name of burial-have been placed
in trenches fourteen inches deep, meas
urino from the common level, and leaving
in nearly every instance, two to four inch
es of the cofins above the surface. Over
this is thrown about sixteen inches of earth; !;
thisearth being, mark you, in large clumps,
leaving openings for the flies to crawl in
and crawl out, and most certainly liable
to be washed away by the first heavy rain.
I Visited Potter's field yesterday after
noon. At dusk there yet remained nine
teen bodies unburried, and in the most
frightful state of decomposition.

Letter from the Editor.
New LISBON, August 10th, 1858

NEW LISBON, August 10th, 1898.
Dear Bro,-Yesterday was one Of the
days in this town. The people came in
from all sections of the country, on foot,
horseback, in buggies and wagons, bare
footed and with shoes on, all to see the
elephant and other animals. The show
opened about one O'Clock, near the factory,
the crowd rushed in to see the sights, and
to see the crowd. The various per-
formances of the day were rich, and knock
our western country cold-czean back in the
shade. The organ grinders, as is usual,
were on hand, performing on the streets,
and SO perfectly excited one of the ginger
bread men that he dropped his lady,
drew his coat, and danced the very brick
out of the pavement. After the first
round over and the second came up, the
fair one accompanying the gent, could
not withstand the temptation, but pitched
in and helped him out-and on every
swing showed her Woomer dress to the best
advantage. This was the richest scene
of the day, and the party here described,
carried off with them, the honors, ginger
bread, in large squares and copious guam
titles, It is not in my power to describe
half the rich scenes that occurred, in this
eastern land, on the show day. Notwith
standing the liquor laws, few straight
oats were on hand-a few fights came off,
and the curtain fell
1t has been said and printed, that there
is no more whig party in existence
Whether this be true as to all the coun-
ties of this state, I cannot say, but SO far
as Columbiana is concerned; the fact is
self-evident. In my last note, gave you
a short description of a convention that
came off in this place-the elements of
the ticket put in nomination, &c. Not
the first man was asked the question, are
you whig? but can you by any means
defeat the locofocos? At this convention,
every principle ever advocated by the
wings was abandoned Not resolution
was presented to the convention for
its adoption in favor of the old land
MARKS, for banks, tariffs, or any other
measure ever known to the bank protec-
ton tariff party. 1t may be said that this
was not whig convention. This may be
the case, and in my opinion, the wings will
have no convention-no ticket, or party,
in this county, this fall. Then at least, in
this region of country, may it be truly
said, that no whig party exists, and in my
conception of things, should not.
The Buckeye State, a paper that advoca-
ted Scotts election to the Presidency, is
now the front and tail of this new faction
ticket, made up of all the ofJaHings Of
all parties-the Freesoilers, Maine Liquor
Law, Whig deserters, Abolitionists; and
in fact all the factionists. But the thing
is entirely too plain to take. The locofo-
cos are not SO easily gulled into the sup
| port of any pretended friend, when they
have good ticket of their own in nomi-
, nation. The TRADE of abuse against the
"locofocos" in the last Buckeye" is suf.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1853-08-31
Factions.

1t is said that in Wyandot, as in other
counties, factious ticket is to be put in
the field in opposition to the Democratic
ticket. The wings unable to do anything
within themselves, have obtained a few of
of the disappointed office seekers from the
Democratic ranks to use as tools, or else
the wings are to be the tools to be used
in there miserable castouts' hands, proba-
bly, the latter But still, we think some of
the persons named for certain offices can
not or will not be supported by Democrats
or Wings, as they are neither honest or
qualified for the offices for which they are
candidates. Some Of these same men
may expect before the campaigns is over to
be placed before the people in their true
light. Deception may for time rule, but
its days arc few and soon over.
Let it be remembered, that men who
are political knaves and scoundrels, are not
to be trusted on any occasion. This is as
true as the moral law, and if political
knaves are closely watched through life,
they will be found among the black flock
on other occasions. 1t is to be hoped that
Democrats cannot be found supporting
corrupt. dcserting Office seekers, who
come out under disguise, in the name of
the peoples ticket. Have not many of
these self-righteous men presented them
selves before a thousand and one Demo
cratic conventions for nomination? Did
they. ever discover corruption in our
party until defeated, and finding no chan
ces for nomination? Are these self same
men honest in their professions of love for
the dear people? Are they opposed to
conventions? How came they in the
field :?
Hero are questions which good Wings
and Democrats ought to ask themselves
before voting. They have been before
the Democracy often, and were as often
defeated, They have no regard for the
interest of the people, but want Office
They were nominated by few men who
have as little political honesty as them
selves. These are facts.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1853-08-31
The Ticket.

e Democrats, this week we present the
ticket as nominated, and are pleased to be
able say, thatin our opinion, never since
the organization of the county of Wyan-
dot have we had better ticket in the field.
If the nomination does not give general
satisfaction, we know not how selection
could be made that would be satisfactory.
Every man on the ticket is of good moral
character, as well as honest and capable.
What other qualifications do we want?-
These were all the qualifications necessary
in the days of Jefferson, and are sufficient
now. Then Democrats, let us say to you,
stand by your ticket; let no false promises
of pretended friends, or the open and foul
declarations Of the enemy, defeat you in
your choice. 1t is impossible to get bet
tor ticket than the one before you, and
then, the men, on it, are of your party
Go to the polls and vote as you have here
tofore done, for the nominees of your par

BACK AGAIN.-We are again at our
post, after an absence of several weeks,
and are sorry to find things in no bette
condition than we had reason to anticipate
The town has been improving some, while
the merchants and business men are as in
active as ever-without any new advertis-
ing. Soon the political excitement will
commence, when we will be compelled to
show up the position Of some boiling can
didates, who have deserted the democrat
ic ranks, for no other reason than because
they could not be kept in office all their
lives. How ungenerous il is in men to de-
sert party after the party keeping them
in Office fifteen or twenty years. To do
so, other than mere selfish and Office mo-
tiyes, such as We are fully convinced some
men possess, would have to make that
change in us.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1853-08-31

NoMINATEp.-Thc Democracy of Craw-
ford county, without solicitation, gave M.
p. Bean the nomination for General AS
sembly. A better choice could not have
been made and we hope friend B. will
receive the largest majority ever given in
that county, The whigs being vastly in
the minority, are attempting division OF
the Democracy, but in our opinion, the at
tempt will prove futile. The Democrats
in Crawford understand Whiggery toe
well to be gulled into any measure that are
only calculated for deception and the sue
cess Of the Whig ticket
