The Ohio State Democrat, says, at seems
from the proceedings Of the Teachers Cor
vention, lately held at Dayton, and which
nominated Lorin Andrews as its candidate
for School Commissioner, that Mr. Andrews
for some time past has been employed by
the friends of education, at salary, of fif
teen hundred dollars per annum, to stump
the State on the subject of education. Il
was while Mr.. Andrews was employed, at a
orge salary, that this no party whig made
stump speeches in favor Of Gen. Scott, and
against the Democratic party, which lie now

in the State,
In the attempt to foist Scott stumper on
the people, as no-party man, there is a
cool impudence without parallel.

R:Kr The following remarks are from that
excellent paper the Ohio State Democrat
and are so applicable at the present crisis,
that we give them in preference to any
thing we might attempt to say on the sub
ject. Let the Democracy of Harrison then,
be up and doing-be"active--be vigilant-
see that every thing is attended to in season,
that when election day arrives, grand,
glorious and triumphant victory will crown
our efforts.
"IN PEACE PREpARE FOR Such
was the sound advice given by the Father Of
his Country, in the early days of the Re-
public It is equally as applicable to wars
political as to wars national In the latter
case, the preparation consists in procuring
the amunitions of war, building forts, and
organizing and training the militia. In pol
itics, it consists in spreading information a.
mong the pepple--in organizing committees,
and, above all others, in nominating good
and unquestionable candidates. We are
just now in political calm, which will soon
be storm--a political peace soon to be
followed By political war, and now is the
accepted time to make the necessary prep
arations.
We have an excellent State ticket Let
not the ticket be defeated by bad nomina-
tons in the counties in the Representative
and Senatorial Districts. The selection of
good candidates is the best preparation in
peace for political war. Let this fact be
remembered at the primary meetings and at
nominating conventions.

Forewarned!-Forearmed!

There are times in the history of every
party, says the State Democrat, when though
flushed with victory, and when opponents
apparently broken up and scattered every
where, il is still in Danger. Such a time
has now occurred IN the history of the DEM
ocratc party. At the late election the
Wing party were so badly beaten, that, in
all probability they will never again rally
in a national contest Yet they are far
from being dead. The snake is ''scotched.
not Killed," and the ancient enemy Of the
Democracy, animated by their encIent hate,
and the remembrance Of well merited de-
feals, will again come forward to do battle.
True, they may rally under another name;
true, they will popularize their principles
until the contest ends, and rounIly swear
that old issues are obsolete, still they will
be the same party, still lighting for the same
federal ends.
BE not lulled into apathy by the ques-
tlon. is there Wing among u.s." Rest
not on your arms because old and cunning
wings say that they will not again take part
in politics. They are more to be feared
when thus "pla ing possam," than when
in the field with banners flying and their
old principles emblazoned thereon. In the
latter case certain deiea. awaits them
1t is fact Of which Democrats should take
warning that the Wing party have never
succeeded in NATIONAL contest-haye never
passed from a minority into a majority in
Ohio, without concealment OF principles
during the canvass.
There is d wing party, or if not still cal
led by that name, there is a whig party
holding to its principles still among us, Or

The Secretary Of War and tho
Regular Army.

A Washington correspondent of the Mo-
bile Register has the following inrelation to
IL scene between the Secretary Of War, Gen.
Davis, and "Colone in the Regular Ar
my" Il argues faverahly. if true, for the
"Privates Of the Regular Army"
The Officer in question was a Col, whose
regiment is stationed near Newport, Rhode
Island. "Well, General" says the Colonel
to the Secrtary, 81 have received your or
der, commanding me to leave the hotel at
Newport, and take up my quarters with
the regiment at the barracks" 81 am glad
to hear it," replied General Davis. II
Eope the order will subject you to no in
convenience" ono inconvenience, indeedn'
replied the Colonel. quite indignantly;"why
sir, the place is a living tomb of misery and
unhealChiness. | couldn't endure the place
a month. This has been known to my su-
perlors in command, including the late Sec
retary Of War; and | have been permitted
to remain at Newport, where | am COM
fortably situated. have not been neces-
sarily negligent of my duty, as. your order
seems to imply. | am a soldier, sir, and
know my duty"
"Ah, indeed" calmly rejoined the SEQ,
retary, "you have been living in ease and
splendor, while the poor soldiers have been
cooped up in living tomb of misery and
unhealthness;' you couldn't endure the
place a month; you are soldier, and know
your duty. Now, sir, /, too. am soldiern
and know it to be the first duty Of an officer
to look after the welfare and the comfort of
these under his command. have held Of
fee in the army, and always considered it
my duty to partake of the hardslips as well
as the glories Of my companions in arms
If, therefore, the barracks near Newport are
fit for your regiment to- live in, presume
they are fit for you II they are as you rep
resent them, you have certainly been negli-
gent in not reporting the fact to this depart
ment, so that the sefdier could have
been removed from that living tomb of mis-
cry and unhealthiness.' And until you
make such report | shall make no change
in the order Of which you complain"
The Colonel, in perfect rage departed
unceremoniously at this stage Of the inter-
view. The probability is that the next time
he makes pilgrimage to the War Depart
ment, to plead for his own case and comfort,
he will bring with him some kind words ia
behalf OF the poor soldiers.

CroDs in Ohio.

A writer in the Cincinnati Commercial,
who has been travelling week through the
State, and has taken considerable pains ia
inquire about the crops, says. General re-
port has been made on the wheat, and it is
understood that the yield in Ohio has not
been quite an average one. The grass is
lighr, and hay will be dear. About the
time Of the wheat harvest, there was consid
cradle apprehension about the corn, potatoes
and oats, but since that time there have
been copious rains, and the promise for gol-
den ears and big potatoes is now very flat
tering. The corn has not for many years
given richer summer promise than it now
does IN many Of the northern counties of the
State. The stalks are large and thrifty, and
the ears are forming handsomely. In the
Miami and other southern river bottoms, all
that is needed to make the farmer rejoice
in his corn fields, and be glad that he plan
ted many acres, is a few copious showers.
Offruit there will be great abundance.
Peaches have not been as plenty since
the settlement of Ohio as they will be the
coming fall. But not only the orchards are
burdencd with fruit, everywhere in the for
ests nuts are plenty. There will be a great
crop Of beech-nuts, hickory nuts and wal
utS.

american Aristocracy -Gleve-
land 'SQuirts.'

We copy the following from the Ceye-
land Plain Dealer, from an article under
the above head. There is more truth than
poetry in it:
"In England the Lord cannot sell oy al
lien his estate. He is borg into the title;
he must die in the possession. Not so
here Every republican may not only sell
his own estate, but may iX Il price upoa it
himself. WHAT is yours to-day may be
mine tomorrow. Death devides your pos
/ sessions among your relatives, and misior
/ tund sc4tters IL to the four winds. How
contemplate then is it for any portion Of
our American population to pat on airs Of
1 di&iactjon, because for the time being they
may possess Il little more of this world
goods than their less fortunate and general
Iy more honest neighbor5. These goldfish
gentry would make sorry figure were
their prrtentions to aristocracy put to the
same test as in England Pudityh their
pcdiWse, and you would drive haIf of them
ont Of the country for the shame Of their
low birth and poor relations. Others would
stumble upon records better hidden than
reyegel, and none could find any justjtica-
tion for such silly, foreign and antlrepub-
lican airs, as are worn by this American
apery. Our larger cities are beginning to be
infested with this kind of animal Even
Cleveland is not without its pretanders.-
There are a few families here inflated with
the idea, that "blood Of richer dye and dust
Of finer mould" distinguished them ftom
common people" Fops and fools there
always are, who, with more brass in their
face than brains in their head, cannot dis.
tinguish the gold from its galvanized coun-
terleit, that acknowledge the pretensons
and do homage to the pretenderS. In this
way coterie Of flats and hunkes is form
ed, who setthemseves upfor 'respcctables, ;
and who frown most Indignantly upon all
such as do not patronage their cue. Sensi-
Bile people, naturally inspired with con-
tempt, pas them by unno,iced, or moved by
| pity, laugh at their Stiffness"
Gg~ There are some small villages not
hundred miles from Cadz, inflated with
the same kind of stencil, that our Cleye-
land friends are troubled with.
