A Bank Worth Having,

We see by a Cincinnati paper that Mr..
Wesley Smead, Of the Citizens Bank, has
been giving $4,000 To The Widows Home
making, in addition to the former gifts,
a donation of 500, 900 10 tina, beneicenl
enterprise. He also gave a few days ago,
5000 to the Relief Union, 5000 TO the DIFF
ferent Orphan Asylums, and 500 to the
Mary and Martha Relief Society. These
noble offerings are only repeiitionS Of
what he has often done before. and pledges
that he will still continue Lis generous
charities.
The DR.. is thorough, close business
man, in the banking line. An unremlting
attention to that pursuit has given abundant
wealth, and he is still TO be found at the old
stand eagerly amassing more. But he does
it with no weak, 'piliul ambition 10 pos
sess money for lis avn sake, or 10 ouiShine
his neighbors in the stupid pomp and lux
ury Of upperten.dom. In him the eager
grsspiug desire for gold is no longer a Sc
ish and ignoble passion. 1t becomes
glori6ed. 1t is hallowed by the divine
purpose which lies beneath it-whick es.
teens the trophies of worldly success a:
but so much property left in the steward;
ship by God for the relief of his needy and
suffering creatures. So DR.. Smead be-
%lieves, and so he has nobly acted for years
past. His charitable dispensations have
long been the theme Of gratitude among
The poor and infrm Of his 10 city. We
emphasize "his oWn city, for We are NO
aware that the DR.. has ever distinguished
himsel by huge contributions to "climei
remote" lie is an eccentric man. lie
doesn't believe, as Mrs. Jellyby, in moral
zing and educating the natives Of "Bario'
boolagha," while ten thousand children
are growing up 10 be thieves and murder

great cities. lie does not believe, will
Aminidab Sleek. in providing every mig
ger baby in Africa with a red flannel shirl
while "lhe Greeks all shirlless and star
wing, "are a, our very door" lie con
fines his attention mainly to the city o
Cincinnati, which furnishes misery enough
to keep his bounty employed. lie cal
thus apply his charities with prudence
He can see what he is giving to, and cal
learn whether his money is misapplied.-
Half Of the virtue Of charity consists i,
intclligcntly applying it.
Such is the generous DR.. Smead, q
Cincinnati, an honor to that city, and
' bright example of a mar whom wealth ha
not inflated, nor the pursuit of bushes
D hardened into stone.

For the Ohio Union

Mr.. Editor As the time is approaching
when we will Re called upon TO make
choice of men to represent us in the legis-
%lature, wish, through the medium of your
excellent paper. TO say a few words in re.
sPeci TO the supposed danger and impropri-
ETY. Of introducing temperance into politics.
Now, il is a fact, that the trainers OF our
Constitution left this temperance question
TO the decision Of the people; and i, is also
a fact that the people have lIiumphanily
decided that their servants, the legislators
Of this State, should, from time TO time.
regulate and restrict the traffic in alcoholic
drinks, as the best interests of their constitu-
ants may require. Now, these being the
facts in the case, as decided BY the highest
tribunal of tho State, namely, THE PEOPLE,
we claim, that, as temperance men, ii is
not only our privilege, but our duty, to
choose mon who will pledge themselves 10
use all honorable means in their power to
chain down this hyGra.headed monster
that is committing such depredaiions on
the virtue. and consequently happiness Of
our State. We know there are men who
think they must always rally under party
flags. Well, that's right, if the motto on the
flag is right; and if not, haul the old thing
down, and make il righ, and if you don't
pursue this course, there can be no such
thing as advancement in the science of gov
eminent. But then, we contend that the
temperance reform is inscribed on the old
Democratic Banner, and lbalb by the vote o.
the people; and now all we want is men
who are the open and avowed enemies Of
old King Alcohol to carry it before us, and
we shall march to certain victory over al
the red nosed legion. | agree with others
that we want substantial men to represent
us; but those men of discretion who arr
afraid to show their hand on the temperance
question in this day and age of the worlc
are moi fit 10 represen, the people Of this
County or any other; and if they SHOULD
succeed in sneakiug into Office, depend up
on it, it is only the grub they are after, an,
they will very often be found poking thei
noses into measures that's against ihci
own constitution il mo-, that of the State
So, as far as | am concerned, a, least, sucI
men don't &c, my vote; and this will perhspt

Bank Note DELUXE,

1.-The people are fast losirg confidence
in the circulating medium. Bank bills Of
their own Stale are as closely scrulinizod
by dealers as all bills were just prior 10
the grand crash in SO. In almost all the
Railroad and Steamboat ticket Offices, a
list of bills "not taken for fare" is posted
up-and this list comprises the names OF
some fifty or sixty barks."
Thus speaks the Boston Times, as TO
the Circulating medium in New York City.

Of. Never was there such a medium as
we now have; and that too in the very

anod and "a The Point.

Tbs Ohio Patriot, under the head OF "a
word of advice writes down the following,
undoubtedly designed, more especially. to
have weight in co1hly nominations. We
like the spirit and the language Of it, and
regard it fully as applicable to the State as
to County Ticket. In both cases it should
have equal weight.-Cha. ADJ.
TO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a number Of
individuals appear before the people as
candidates for the same Office, it is impos-
sible that oil can be gratiGed-some must
necessarily be. disappointed. But when
nominations ere made in accordance with
the established usages of the party, il is the
duty of the defeated candidates 10 freely
tacquiesce in the decision, and give their
hearty support 10 The successful candidates.
Any other course is not only suicidal but
furnishes incontestible evidence Of selfish
ness and want Of devo,io9(o the party and
its principles. A failure receive a nomi-
nation affords no excuse for lukcwarmness,
or disaifeclion ,er boiling: Such conduct
on the par, of defeated caSdidates, is repri.
hensible in the highest degree, and justly
subjects them to the contempt and scorn Oi

To THE FRIENDS, OF CANDIDATEs.-lt il
not unlrequsntly the case when a number o.
candidates present themselves for the same
fofics that considerable feeling is aroused
amongst their respective friends. And il
is natural for the friends Of candidate, at
ter they have zealously directed their en-
ergies to secure his nomination, 10 feel
little chagrined at the defeat of their favor
lite. But they should not permi. their pei
sonal preferences TO influence their conduct
in the slightest degree, after the nominnlio
is made. All should bow with Difference I

man who through personal consideration
will refuse to support the regular nomine

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
The.Tcmpcrnnce Question.

We insert. in to-day's paper, a commu-
nication from Mr.. SKINNER, in regard to
this ~subjacfs We .cannot endorse his views,
but he is none the less entitled 10 a hear
ing on that account. lie is among our
best citizens, and best Democrats, and his
opinions upon any subject are entitled TO
respect,-but we are nevertheless firm in
our conviction, that this effort 10 bring the
temperance question into the political arena,
will damage and degrade both the cause Of
temperance and the cause of Democracy.
Gen. JACKSON was much abused by the
federal press for his famous declaration
that "thc people are inclined TO look TO
government for too much"-and yet il was
a true sentiment, and one. that will stand
the test of criticism and of time. There
are numerous moral evils in the world
which government have no right to under
take 10 suppress. If the principles of the
Christian religion were practiced by all
the men "who constitute a Stale." all pO-
liticul and social evils would Instantly dis
appear. No rational man will gainsay tine
truth Of this proposition; yet the law'giver
who would propose TO drive every man
into the Church of Con, by the strong
arm of the law, would be regarded as little
less than a mailman. No, no! there is "a
higher law" than any which can be enact.
ed by legislators, which govern the morals,
the religion and the consciences Of men
subject 10 legislative restraint only whonil
interferes with the equal rights of others,
We may be in error;-but we look upon
these stringent laws which are proposed
as a cure for the evils of iniemperance, az
precedents which may be referred to here
after to authorize a character of legislation
which would be hostile to all Personal lib
ery. Nevertheless, "error of opinion may
be tolerated when reason is left free &c
combat it''-and we. arc willing to give al
parties a hearing through our columns
where communications are written in
temperate spirit and are of reasonable
length-and if those who differ in opinion
with us, can persuade us that we are wrong
We will cheerlully abandon our position
Before Democrats commit themselves 10,
hastily and too far in this temperance ques
ton, we hope they will reflect that lher
is an United States Senator to elect ne&
winier-ihat the Bank power of The Stat
is engaged in a score, and powerful strug
gle for the restoration of their exlraordinu
fy exemptions and pri'iIeges-and ihat,h

fall, is neither dead nor asleep, nor has
forgotten its cunning.

II Courier and Enquirer, in an elabo.

Turkish question, says the state Of Eastern
affairs has not been SO porteutous since

lies in the fact that a collision upon The Dos.

tional and civil war over all Europe. No
power, unless it be Russia, is in situation
