ohio state Democrat.

This is the name Of locofoco paper Just
started at Columbus, published by Blake and
Osgood. We like the paper better than any
locofoco paper we have seen for some time.
On the subject of education it takes differ
ent ground from most of the other papers
of that party. 1t is decidedly in favor ofgiv-
ing the people good schools, which many, If
not almost all, the locofoco papers are entirely
opposed TO- We are glad to see ii come out
in favor Of the New School Law, which by the
way, is one of the best School Laws in the
world. 1t is edited with great ability and
must take the place Of the Statesman among
intelligent democrats. We see that the loco
foco editors, generally, are rather "down" on
this new en- terprise. We suppose they deem it
too much Of an "cdecationul consarn." The
editor is too much in favor of farmers and
mechanics sons and daughters procuring
good education, to suit the notions of his
"brithern," locofoco editors. He is entirely
too much in favor Of the poor mans son,
having an equal chance with the rich mans son
which his good "brithren" seem to look up
on as being very dangerous to the well-be-
ing Of the "dear psopls"--or rather locofoco.

Russia and Turkey.

IT appears from the latest news from Europe,
that the Emperor Of Russia is determined
that Turkey shall heed his demands nolenS
rOlens. 1t is reported that hostile demonstra-
tions have already been commenced by Rus
sia on Turkey. If the report be confirmed
it is the first act in a new and great drama
which will make new and important era in
the affairs Of Europe. As England and France
are bound to stand by and assist Turkey in
resisting the demands Of the Russian Empe-
ror, in the event Of war, the entire continent
will be involved in it, TO great, or less extent
We look to The affair with much interest
We are conscientiously opposed TO war, and
indeed tcall species of6ghting, yet we can.
not say we would be very sorry TO learn thai
Russia and Turkey we're involved in war. We
think it would result in much good to the
down-trodden-the white slaves Of Europe.

He conceives that the sense of sight sleeps

of smell; next that of hearing; and lastly, that
of touch. lie maintains, also, that the viscera
fall asleep, one after another, and sleep with
different degrees of soundness.

The Constant Star that never Sets.

1t is refreshing in these times of party con-
fusion, and unsettled political principles to
6nd plain straight forward recapitulation Of
the articles of the National Wing faith, like
the following. 1t will do every lover of the
Whig cause good to read over these resolu-
tions, and the one idea men who have belon-
ged to our party, and forsaken it to follow af-
ter strange Gods, will receive no hurt from
draught at the old and genuine fountain.
Vermont always true to the cause. will bs
the last to desert it. Nothing is said or
though: there, about death of the Wing par.
ty The gallant, and ever successful Wings
of that State have made their nominations,
and placed their candidates, upon the old and
the only platform, Of principles. the Wing
party should recognize. We commend it to
the attention of Wings every where.--T Blade
RESOLVED. That the representatives of the
Wings of Vermont deem this a fit occasion to
declare anew their steady attachment to the
great and essential principles heretofore avow-
ed by them; and to the policy which. through
good report and evil report, they have ever
maintained.
Resolved That among these they recognize
more especially the following:
l. The maintainance of the peace and honor
the country, by its being ever preared 10 de.
fend Its own natural rights, and by its scrupu-
lously avoiding to tresPass upon the rights
and possessions Of others.
2. The steady developemeht Of the natural
scources of the nation at large. and the pro-
lection and encouragement BY its own govern.
ment Of the productions Of its own soil, and
OF the industry and skill Of its own people in
preference to those of other nations
8. An administration Of the public domain,
which, admitting the right of every State to
participate equitably in the proceeds of the
public lands, shall encourage their early occu-
patton by favorable terms to actual settlers,
and fair grants for internal improvements of
a general and beneficial character.
4. An administration of the finances ofthe
government (boih of the State and Of the
United States), which shall be strictly limited
by law and economical in its character.
5. A greater restriction of the ExeemiVe
power and patronage of the United States,
which now from its vast and yet increasing
extent, bids fair TO overshadow every other
branch Of the government, 10 the great det-
riment of general welfare. and with manifest
danger to the liberties of the people.
Resolved. That party which maintains
such principles in free country never dies,
and the wings of Vermont are expected now
as ever 10 go shoulder to shoulder in all hon
orabe efforts to secure the election Of their
candidates, and thus to give greater force to
the characteristic principles of the Wbig party
in this State end throughout the Union.

LECTION, ron SOME LINES FOR Her SCRAP.
BOOK"
AtweweH gleam from feelings past array"
On, lady ask no verse from me,
To taint thy book with grief
A sad memorial there, would be
A shrouded, sorrowing leaf
A page on which thy friendly eye
Would ever look with pain;--
A token but to claim sigh,
Or call forth tears in vain.
For sighs are hourly brcathed for me,
And precious tears are mine,
From hearts as fond us hearts can be,
From eyes as bright as thine.
But truitless now are tears and sighs:
They cannot burst the tomb,
Or bid my stricken spirit rise,
Its functions to resume.
To take, in life, its once proud part,
Or, in the social throng,
To charm the ear, or glad the heart.
With mirth--with wit--with song.
Then why where friendships off'rings shine
Where loves gay notes are read,
Record one thought-one mournful line
That comes as from the dead? w.B. B

Garfield and Mitchell.

These enterprising gentlemen have just
completed he tin roof on Mr. Orchards new
and splendid block and we must say, it is one
of the best and finest we have ever seen of
the kind. Mr.. Cleland their foreman deserves
much credit for the workmanliks manner in
which he has laid the tin. He dispensed en-
tirely with the use Of solder, thereby avoiding
the bad effects produced by the expansion
and contraction of the tin. Messrs. c. &. M.
have put on number of tin roofs here and
elsewhere, and they have without an exception
given entire satisfaction. We would advise
persons in our neighboring towns who may
want anything of the kind done, to give them
call. They are gentlemen in manners and
reasonable IN prices.

Woman.

1t is a woman's nature to yearn and droop
for love-to shrek in agony from lonely
path--to long for some supporting arm on
which 10 rest her weakness-some sympathi-
zing bosom to which she can trust her Joys
and sorrows. She looks to man, her natural
protector. No true hearted woman but has
this feeling born with her implanted there by
God himself; but il is her doom, too often,
to find Oh earth no such loving rest The
warm affection OF her heart are too often
crushed by bitter neglect and cold indiffer.
ence too often is she betrayed where most
she trusted, and therefore is her lot SO sad.
Desparing brokenhearted. she turns from
earth to heaven. But once realize that she
is the subject Of love as measurably supe-
rior in consolation and thought and change
less sympathy to that Of man as the heaven
is above the earth: when she can once feel
that she has friend. who will "never leave
her or forsake" her-in whose plying ear she
may pour forth her trials and grief, either pet
ty or great, which she would not, even il
she might conide to man secure not only Of
pity; but Of healing-when she is conscious
she is never lonely-never left 10 her own
weakness, but in her every need will have
strength infused-then is she so blessed thai
she is no more lonely no more sad Aud the
word Of God will give us this consolation, no
in his gracious promises alone, though they

State Commissioner of Common Schools.

Since the 500 teachers and friends Of edu
cation, at the last session of the State Teach
ers' Association, have recommended Mr.. An
drews to the people of Ohio as the man, in
their opinion, best qualified to fll the Office Of
Commissioner of common schools, the Locofo-
co papers generally, are, as the boys say
"dovn" on Mr. Andrews and the teachers
They labor hard to show it all 'Ohig scheme.
This is nothing more than we could expect,
for phiggery and aniverSal education are sy-
nonymous terms in the vocabulary of locos.
This we assert on the authority Of the leaders
of that party. An eminent ?]judge of our
acquaintance stated in stump speech he de-
ivered himself of not many months since,
that men were naturally ignorant, sinners, and
democrat. Said he, if the assertion Of Patrick
Henry, that "the more ignorance the more
peace is not true, it is true beyond cavil or
doubt, that the more ignorance the more
democrats"
This is the doctrine that most, if not all
the leaders of the locofocos teach. A young
barrister at the law in this place, remarked 10
us few days ago. that Mr.. Andrews would
get very few democrat votes, for, what
do most of our party know about who
is the best fted for the Office Of Commission
er ?" Nothing" he remarked IN much con-
hLence, "they 60 it blind"
Another prominent lOcofoco remarked to us
while convers;ng on the subject of State Com
missioner, Eve know Mr.. Andrews is well
qualified for the Office, and he ought in all
justice to have it, but you know Booth, we
will 90 the democratic nomination, and so will
our party generally, even should the nominee
be d-n fool. ave will support the demo
cratic nomination from policy, the par ty as a
general thing from ignorance"
Holding the doctrine that the leaders ofthe
locofoco party do, is it any marvel that they
are opposed to the education of the people
Is it any wonder they abuse the teachers and
educational men? Is It strange that Cox &
Co. the organ oflocofocoism IN Ohio, denounce'
colleges and schools as dangerous things il
republican government? Is it to be won
dered at, that the guardians of the locofocc
party are determined TO elect some man o
straw to fill the Office of school Commissioner
and thereby defeat the successful operation
Of the New School Law?
Now we hold that the democratic party ar,
not so stupid and ignorant as the leaders 0
the party would have us believe: hence W,
confidently believe, that many of the bes
men of that party will vote for the candidate
of the people-Lorin Andrews We hav
no fears that he will not be elected. Th
people Of the Great State of Ohio, are too In
teligent to be humbugged and lied out Of fthei
just rights, to an education for their children
by heartless polititions. The people think TO
much of their children to support a polio
} that would rob them Of an educaton--tha
would make them "hewers of wood an
drawers Of water"---slaves to support ia
/ oiices--siayes to support knayes and villains

THRILLING IEcIDENT.-At a temperance
meeting in Philadelphia, some years ago, a
young clergyman spoke in favor of wine as a
drink, demonstrating it quite to his own sat
isfaction TO be scriptural, gentlemsnly and
healthful. When the clergyman sat down a
plain elderly man arose, and asked the liber-
ty to say few words: "a young friend Of
mine," said he, "who had long been intem-
perate, was at length prevailed upon, TO the
great Joy Of his friends, to take the pledge of
total abstainance from all that can intoxicate.
ale kept the pledge faithfully for some
time, though the struggle with his habit was
fearful, till ono evening at social party
glasses of wine were handed round-they
came to the clergyman present, who took
glass. saying few words in vindcaton Of the
practice. Well thought the young man
If Clergyman can take wine, and Justify ii so
well, why not p So he also took glass
1t instantly rekindled bis fiery and slumber-
ing appetite and after rapid downward
course, he died Of delirium tremens-a raying
madman." The old man paused for Inference,
and was Just able to add
"That young man was my only son, and
the clergyman was the Rev. Doctor who has
