An Hour of Peace.
BY THOMAS MOORE.

BY THOMAS MOORE.
How calm, how beautiful comes on
The Silly hour, when storms are gone !!
When warrior winds have died away,
And clouds beneath the glancing ray,
Melt Of, and leave the land and sea
Sleeping in bright tranquility =
Fresh as if day again were born,
Again upon the lap of morn!
When the light blossoms, rudely torn
And scattered at the whirlwind's will,
Hang floating in the pure air still,
Filling it all with precious balm,
In gratitude for this sweet calm;
And every drop the thunder showers,
Have left upon the grass and flowers,
Sparkles, as 'twere that lightning gem
Whose liquid fame is born of them!

parental authority. They have each been

Sand yet say some, you have no right 10
ask for "pledges." Ii seems to us, that
in times past, democratic candidates have
made real bona fde pledges. If we are
not mistaken, a democratic caucus once
exacled pledges from candidates for the
Supreme BENCH, TO pronounce judicial
opinion on certain questions. This was
asserting the doctrine in the very extreme"
The case referred TO by the Times in
volved a vital question Of POLITICAL
PRINCIPLE. The BANK POWER
had defed the PEOPLE and their 60.
yernment, and Democratic members of the
Legislature acted wisely in demanding Of
Judges pledges that they would be faith.
full in that struggle for POLITICAL suPRE.
MACY, TO the People, the Constitution and
the Laws. That vas clearly a political
question. The Maine Law is a moral
question. The Times is at fault again,
when it adds:
ut has been notorious that candidates
for the Legislature in The democratic parry,
have frequently pledged themselves 10 vote
for certain Senatorial Candidates.
sand it cannot be doubted that in this
very campaign, in this county, Candidates
for the Legislature would be sadly defeat.
ed unless they gave pledges that they
would 60 for VIM. Allen for United States
Senator. And yet these same men make
it a matter Of conscience no, to give pledges
on the Maine law. Trust that man.
says Sterne, in nothing who has not a
conscience in every hing"
Now we undertake 10 say that no such
"~pledges" have been given or required by
the candidates in this county. Wv. AL
LEN, it is true, is a great %favorile with the
Democracy of Ashland county, as he is
with the Democracy of the whole Union,
and a pledge to support him by a Demo-
cratic Representative from Ashland county,
would no sooner be required, or dreamed
of, than a pledge 10 vote against a Bank
or any other Wing plumber scheme. A
nomination by The Democracy Grassland
county is a sufficient and satisfactory
"pledge" that the nominee wU not only
be elected, but that he will sustain Demo,
cratic men and measures, and obey the
will of his constituents.

will make their peculiar views on the
temperance question paramount 10 dRir
political priaciplss and party organization,
for which they have so often gioriously
batlled and triumphed. We would say to
them, however, that The c~raftiest efforts Of
the opposition will be directed 10 ensnare
them with this 'une idea,' during the pres
ent campaign. They will be strongly so.
Iicitcd 10 sign pledges, intended to draw
them fronathe regular organization of the
democratic party, 10 aid in The election Of
a whig member Of the Legislutare-one
who, while he would aid in The passage Of
their l%averile temperance law, would also
aid in breaking down The the measures Of
the democratic party. Are they prepared
to do thisl Not quite, we trust Tell
these deceivers, therefore, when they call
on you with their pledges, that you are
democrats, and that whatever your indi-
vidual views may be Of the Maine Law
or any similar measure, you are not to be
seduced into an alliance with whiggery 10
defea, the democratic ticket.

We find The following paragraph in the
last Wooster Republican:
James Patrick, whose Butter Store is
so popular with the farmers in this place,
we learn by the Courier, is doing an
celIen, business in Elyria. The Couriv
says: shat since the frs, of May their av.
erage daily purchases have been 1909
pounds; and that they have already ship
ped lao hogsheads. The butter is Of ex-
cellenl quality on the average, and will be
improved another year"
We think the figures will show that Ash.
land is better grazing county than either

Butter season. of last year, about $50
lbs. daily, (last year being his first season..
During the present season, he has ave.

Mr.. G. f. HoTcHKIss opened his but.

June, and his average purchases, since
that date, have been about 500 lbs. daily I;
and a considerable quantity of inferior
butter has been refused by him. There

This Butter tiade is becoming one oI
rapidly increasing importance in this coun

by Mr.. HoToHKIss, a very decided i'm

adopted, of making just and proper dis

Interesting TO Printers.

We have had the pleasure during the
past week Of testing in part, the new pro.
cess of siereotyping from a compound of
guttapprcha and other substances. Mr..
David Adams, Agent for s. II. Armstrong
Of New York (who is the sole proprietor
Of the United States for said invention.)
has been operating a, our Office, taking
slereolypes from types, engravings, &c.,
which we have tested, and find the impress.
sion taken from plates cast by this pro-
cess, to be in every way equal 10 those
taken from the types themselves. We
were shown a plate from which 10000
impressions had been taken which did not
seem TO be worn in the least. One re.
markable advantage Of this process over
The old one is, that a plate can be fitted
and prepared for the press in an half hour
from The time it is commenced. It's sim
plicily is such, moreover, that with a
small outlay, and twenty.four hours expe-
%rience, printers can stereotype any job, up.
on their own premises, without The least
injury to the type. The mould and cast
are of the same material. One mould
suIicing 10 cast any number of plates tina,
may be required. Should the invention
work as well as i, promises 10 do, there
must be..a complete revolution wrought in
the business Of sterotyping.
Mr.. Adams is now Introducing the in
vention to the printers of Ohio, Any
person being DESTROYS of becoming more
acquainted with The invention may adj
dress him at Warren, Trumbull County

Thc EaiIronI Mania.

1t is time to consider, II not to Pausei Rail-
road projects are multiplying OF an astonishing
rate. The Illinois Central has borrowed twelve
millions the Louisville and Nashville three mil
lions; the Cincinnati and St. Louis, three the
New York and Erie, six tho Pennsylvania, three.
Then tho Mobile and Ohio is ready to borrow five
millions, and the MISSOURI and Pacific, two. In
deed, we have only begun the list. Where will
IL end Canada is projecting a vast railroad
scheme-some fly millionsl The Hartford
inn well remarks that the map of Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, preseats a curious piece Of lattice
work. Is il not time to lock around and take a
general view ,aad forecast oil he future : What an
amazing list o. mammoth projects could now be
spread out to the eyei Where is the capital to
come FRONT How is the profit to be paid Phil.
Argm.
These are pertinent questions. The
amount Of county, city, town, and other
corporation bonds, issued for the construc.
ton Of Railroads, aud now held principal
ly by the Fund Mongers Of Europe, il
they could be accurately asceriaiaed, would
show an aggregate Of Indebtedness which
would no doubt starile the whole country,
aud materially dampen the atdor of some
of our Railroad friends. Ii is said that the
Secretary Of the Treasury is collecting
statistics on this subject, which he will
submit to the next Congress.
Our past fears and predictions have not
been realized. We had supposed that The
Railroad mania would have received a
check before This. But a revulsion before
many years is inevitable. The country
cannot long sustain itself, great as are its
resources, under The overshadowing debt
already existing, and SO rapidly and fear,
fully accumulating. The cost of labor, and
Of Iron and other materials, has nearly dou'
bled within a few years. and they will no
diminish until the country has reached the
" end of its rope" Our rotten Papel
Money System stimulates The madness that
rules the hour, and will make the cataslru
phe, when il comes, more terrible. Wher
the storm gathers, instead of being able tt
direct it, or assuage lis force, they will b.
the first 10 bend before its blast, %rcpudial,
their obligations, aud share in the common
wreck.
Wle> The day Of financial reckonin,
comes, the wisdom Of our Democrat,
Constitution, which imposes s%alutary
checks upon city, town, and county indebt
edness, will be illustrated and appreciated
even by our political enemies. 1t will ma
Ierially diminish The force of The blow 81
far as Ohio is concerned.

The las, ASH and Times has a lengthy
article upon this question, a liberal portion
Of which is devoted to an assault upon the
position assumed by us in regard TO the
Maine Law Question.
In response to our charge that the lea.
ders in the work of making the Maine
Law a political issue, were principally
Wigs of the Hard Cider era, the Times

than, at the battle of Bunker Hil-"Thun.

Mr.. OSBORN is very much of a wag. He
thinks tina, the Wings, through this Maine
Law Musket, are "shooting bullets" at the
Democratic party! We have no doubt
there are bullets in the old guu,-but we
are inclined 10 think, that when the time
comes for pulling the trigger, it will bear
wide" and "kick the owners over" We
tell you, friend OSBORN, that that old mus.
Ike, is not to be trusted, even with bullets.
The IrmrS charges us with an attempt
to read Mr.. STEWART, ia notorious Dem
o%crai,'' out of The party, "because lie has
seen ft to advocate the Maine Law
This is a mistake. We never read men
out Of the party;--bul men sometimes
read themselves out. The difference be-
tween Mr.. STEWART, and the handful Of
Democrats in Ohio who acl with him, and
Gen. CAREY and other Wing leaders en-.
gagged in the Maine Law intrigue, is this:
Mr.. STEWART aud his few Democratic as
s%ociatos are conscientious; they regard the
Maine Law as necessary TO save society
from the baleful effects of I%nlemporance.
Their obligations 10 the cause of "lhn
Maine Law" they consider paramount
to their obligations to the Democratic Par
ty; and hence their "notorious" ADAM
DONMENT Of that party, because the
Democracy refuse 10 ~interpola,e this new
issue in their political creed. With the
Wing wire.workers, Oh the contrary, tie
whole thing is an intrigue and a Trojan
horse. With them Whigge'y is first and
whiggcry is last. Give them the mex,
Legislature, aud United States Senator,
and perhaps a gourd of hard Cider, and
they will be content that the Maine Law
shall return "down easl''-the State oil
Ohio 10 know il no more forever!
The Times has declared itself for the
Maine Law, which is very natural. Does
any one know Of a Wing paper in a De-
mocrafic county that has moi?
These Wing political %wire.worker;
laugh in their sleeves at the integrity, and
mock at the zeal of those few conscientious
Democrats who have consented to make
temperance a political question in Demo
cratic Counties! The Wing party have
always been a party of multirurious names

n believe they can entrap and letier ant
conquer the enlightened and victorious De
moeracy in this age of school-masters
