The LOcoFoco NONIEATIoSs.-We cannot
answer Tor other portions of the State, but
so far as our own is concerned, the most Bit
ter and extensive disappointment is felt and
expressed, by large portion of the party of
our opponents, in this region, with the re-
suit of the nominations at Columbus. "Cnrs-
es, not loud but deep" are heard on all sides.
Some dislike one of the nominees, and 9TH
ers another; while the entire mass constitute
bitter pill indeed, for any one of the faith
full 10 swallow But, the chalice is COM
mended to the lips of the faithful, by the
Central Dictators, and let those twist and
squirm who will, but resist who dare.
We may instance, especially, as among
the most important of the nominations, and
vet of the least acceptable, of the nominees,
that Of Dr. Wayne GriswoId, Of Pckaway,
for the Board OF Public Works. We do not
purpose to examine all the objections raised
against him-let those who raise them rec
oncile them for themselves. But, that of un-
fitness and general incompetence, from pro-
fessional calling and habit Of life, is one
which everybody can understand. If the
State be LocofOco, that is no good reason
why men should be placed in nomination for
Office who have no sort OF fitness for the CIV
en- post.
We shall expect the Wings OF Ohio, in
due time, to hold State COnuention, and
bring out their candidates. They can give
them l6O,o 600 Wing votes. and more If they
try. Let US nominate good men, whose quail
ificatons and integrity will appeal to the
public for support, and our great conserva-
tive party may prevent much mischief, tho
it may not even attain position to do posi-
/ tive good .-SciO. GGz.

CHOLERA AsD lSrEMPERAScR. The Rev.
Henry W. Lee, ID. D., Rector Of st. Luko's
Church, Rochester, in a sermon preached
on Thanksgiving day. giyesa thrilling sc-
count of the suffering Of the incorporate
portion Of that community. by cholera, dur
ing its prevalence in that city the last sum
mCT. lie says;
ITO this city of the living the past year
has been the most sad and trying Of any in
III entire history. God sent the pestilence
amongst us, and filled our dwellings with
mourning, and lamentation and woe. In
soHie cases, houses were actually depopula-
ted by the dread disease and certain localities
were made sadly desolate. About one
ei5hieth Of our population were swept a.
way by the pestilenCc alone, while others
were removed by the ordinary diseases
which prevail in oursmdst Our own parish
by no means escaped. Ii suffered as it new
er suffered before, The grave yawaed for
victims from among ourselves; and we furn-
ished a,.fearful proportion OF those who fell
beneath the desolating scou.ge. About
one fifteenth Of the whole number of VIC
tins were nominally of this parish; while Of
the deaths among the Protestant portion Of
our population, about one seventh were in
families connected with this congregation.
In fifty dsys, | was called to attend fifty
bUrsls, including those ui some who died of
ordinary diseases; while the majority were Of
those who were carried Oft by the pestilence.
Never, my brethern, can forget the
dreadinI scenes Of August ard September,
thus far The most trying Of my pastoral life.
By day and by night, was at the bedside
Of the dying, pointing them TO the Savior Of
Sinners, and endeRvoring to help them to
prepare to meet their God. Some de-
parted in the triumphs Of faith and hope;
and some, aye, many, alas! went down to the
d'unkards grave. Most Of the adult cholera
: victims were also victims Of imtemperance,
hurried into the presence OF their Judge,
with but Il few hours warning, and, to all
human appearancc-l must Say it--unpre-
pared for eternity
Never did more heartily deprecate the
vice oi drunkenness, than when on some Of
those sad funeral occasiUnsI was not only for
ced to think Of the CHASTITY tenant Ofthe cOf-
fin, as having, as it were, reeled and stag
gered into eternity but was also forced to see
living drunkards as my attendants to the
place Of burial, and go under the influence of

: fit TO render the needed aid to those who bury
! the dead. On one such occasion remon-

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT SALEM, OHIo.-A
new mode of tax gathering was attempted
at Salem, Ohio, on the Sd inst, which has
created in that town quite a musS. The
Treasurer of Columbiana county, having cal
led upon the Salem Bank for taxes assessed,
several times, and being refused, on the
grounds that the tax was levied on the cap
ital instead of on the profits, entered the
Bank with posse armed with guns, rcvov-
ers and sledges for the purpose Of breaking
open the vault, and seizing the requisite
funds. At this state of the ARRAY an armis-
tic was declared, for the purpose Of calling
the directors together, that they might de-
eide whether they would or would not pay
the tax SO assessed. The directors met, and
protested against paying, and by the means
of guns, crowbars, &C., drove the tax-gath-
ering party out of the bank. On the 4th, a
renewal ofhostilities upon the bank was ex-
pected-the result of which, we have not
learned.-SteubenuiW Her. ."

. CoSGREss.-On the leth, in the Senate,
Mr.. Seward made speech in reply to
,Messrs Cass and Downs, in regard to the
,Clayton and Bulwer treaty, which WAS called
the Nicaragua Convention, which was siga-
ed at Washington by Clayton and Bulwer,ss
approved by the senate, and signed by the
negotiators, in which both the Governments
stipulated that neither one or the other will
aro1 over tue proposed ship canal, aud agree
not to fortify, colonize or assume dominion
over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, OF. Aus4uito
Coast, or any part Of Ceptr.l America. Sub
sequently, an understanding, or explanatory
declaration was agreed to, that the engage
gnent regarding neutral territory did not ap-
ply to her Majesty's settlcaent at Honduras
and It's dependencies. He thee referred to the
charge made by Mr.. Csss that this construc-
ton was given TO the treaty, without the
consent or knowledge of the Senate, and
that in this transaction the executive depart
lment of General Taylor's administration
had committed great error. Mr.. Seward
thea went on at great length to defend Mr..
Clayton, arguing that the construction plac-
edupon the treaty by him was we'll understood
by the Senate when the treaty was passed.
The House, the same day, was engaged
principly in discussing the policy of Cuban
annexation. Mr.. Bell said that the snnexa'
ton of that Island would be curse to oar
interests and calculated to produce War.

THE BROAD GUAGE RoAD.-This contem-
plated Railroad from New York to Cincin-
natl, (six feet gusge) is the subject of COM
meut in many of our exchanges. The build
ing of such road appears to be determined
upon, but the route is the question. All the
county towns from Columbiana county to
Montgomery, in iuding the village Of Colum-
bus, are to be points; SO their papers say
But the Pittsburgers think the best route
would be from New York to Pittsburgh,
thence to the Steubenville and Indiana road,
and on the track of that road to GAINESVILLE
terminating here instead of Newark and
from GAINESVILLE to Cincinnati on the track
of the Cincinnati, Wilmington and Zanes'
vile Road. This, we think, is far the best
route FOR New York. The more Southern the
route through Ohio, the greater will be the
business of New York on the road.

REVOLUTIONARY DocUMRsTs.-A recent
examination Of the papers OF Gen. Knox.
le(tin his old mansion house, at Thomaston. !.
Me-, has brought to light mass ofinterest-
ing and valuable revolutionary documents,
which have never been made public. Gen.
Knox, as is well known, was honored with
the special friendship and confidence of
Washington, who kept up with him fre-
quent and familiar correspondence for many
years. OF the fruits Of this CORES pondence,
more than fifty of Washington's letters have
now, for the first time, been discovered; in
which the various details of his private life,
as well as the great affairs Of the nation, are
freely noticed. Besides these, there are a
proportionate number of letters from Lafay-
cite, Baron Steuben, Lord Stirling, Gener-
ais Lincoln, Greene, Wayne, Health, and
Gates, Major Shaw, and other distinguished
revolutionary heroes. These letters, though
they have laid among the rubbish of the at
tic, in the old family mansion house, FOR half
a century, are GENERALLY in good state OF
preservation and perfectly legible, and may
yet prove of essential value to the biograph-
.cr and historian. -..s ...
We may add, that, besides the mass Of let
tiers alluded to above, many other interest
ing documents were discovered among Gen.
Knox's old papers: for example, what sp-
pears to have been the original draft of the
article Of capitulation of CORVALLIS at York.

GEN. PlERcE's CABISET.-The triumph of
the Allen faction at the late Locofoco Con-
Vsntion has given his friends new hopes, and
now instead of fighting under cover, they
come out boldly aud ask the President elect
to give him a seatrin his cabinet, selecting
for this purpose the Office Of Secretary of
State. There is to bo bold push made to
secure this object, and it will require union
of all the opposing factions in the State to
prevent it. Ifall runners are true, the A lien
triumph at the Convention and the nomna-
tion Of Col. Medill were not secured by the
moHt honorable means, and it may be that
success will be of that kind which only leads
toa final and disastrous defeat. 1t is quite
certain that the defeated factions do not take
the event very cody and should they be-
- come sufficiently exasperatsd to unite with
one enemy to conquer another, the combi-
nation would be too strong to be resisted
We Do lot think with some that the Miami
Tribe il destroyed. It's members are not
made Of that kind Of stuff. A defeat only
whets their appetite. They united for the
spOils and the same object will still hold
them together. They will fght harder to

come hungered by long fasting, aid in the
employment 0fmesns to secure success,they
will not be more choice than the Allen men
are reported to have been at the late Con-
vention.
But to close with the same subject with
which we commeaced-Col. Allen will not
be Gen. Pierce's Secretary of State, nor
will he obtain any other seat in the cabinet.
A foreign mission is the best he can get and
even that il matter Of extreme doubt.

ONO LEGrsLATuRE.-The Journal says
that Mr.. Ward, of Warren, has introduced y
bill into the House, which is now being dis
cussed in the committee Of the whole, revis-
ing the act for the punishment of crimes
This bill proposes to abolish capital punish
ment for murder, and substitute imprison-
ment for life in the Penitentiary. The bill
also makes it a penitentiury offence to mali
ciousy destroy personal property, growing
trees, grains, or fruits above the value oI
thirty dollars. A married man, or woman
committing adultery,is alsoto bepunished by
imprisonment the Penitentiary.
As there is difference of opinion as to
the policy of adopting these measures, and
as petitions pro and con are frequently sent
in, it proper to notify the people that now
is the time to let their requests be known.
