6TThe above is one ofthe Gazette locals,

for the Gdsettee,-they had their own rea-

The fertile imagination and graceful elias

WHIG TIcEEr.-In our paper Of to-day
viii be found the Of candidates for
the several local Offices to be filed At the
coming election.
It is needless to 60 into detail. The per-
sons selected BY the Partially Of the friends,
are all good men, and the voters Of this
county would consult theIrown interests by
electing the ticket presented to Them
Each of these men have resided for a long
time in our midst and are well and favOsabiy
known. We can cheerfuiIy endorse the
entire ticket and warmely commend it to
the support Of the people ofsOld Fairfield,
1t is the duty Of every legal voter to de-
posite his ballot on Tuesday nexti It is a
duty he owes to the County and State in
which he resides; a duty Imposed upon him
by the privileges he enjoys in a free coun-
try, and II he fails to discharge it properly /,
he is not a good citizen and is unworthy the
name Of freeman. Each and every man in
the Republic should thus consider the trust
committed to him aud should never fail to
vote, one way or the other, at every elec-
tlons
II is needless to urge the matter further,
We hope the Wings Of the county will rail-
ly to the polls and spend a few hours in
working for theticket presented to them
It is In this way alone that the orga nization
ofthe party can be maintained, SO that our
forces will be'feads for any future contest
and as in times past, SO in times to come,
1.-THE Wings of Old Fairfield though out
numbered in men, viii ever be found bat.
Ting for the right and will never be want
ing when they are called upon to swell the
great Wing army Of the country.
With these remarks, we commit the tick :
ct into the hands Of the people, confden t
that they will let no mere personal consid'
~erations or side issues, tend TO swell the
majority of certain men who desire a larger
a party vote, that they may use it here
and elsewhere for their future benefit.

ETRemember, that William Medill has
advocated the granting of lands to the land
less and homes to the homeless, and that the
Democratic party has taken strong grounds
in favor of the same just and equitable meas
ure.-Edgle.
The above is a mere re-hash Of what late
ly appeared in the Ohio State Democrat, aud
its ostensible object is to create the impress
sion that the Democratic party favors donat-
ing Gland to the landless." Now it SO hap
pens that at the first session Of the last leg
~islature a joint resolution was passed in the
House, instruciing our Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress to secure, if posi-
BILE, the passage of an act giving to each
settler on the public lands one hundred and
sixty acres thereof, at the mere cost Of sur
veyihg and locating the same. On the final
passage of this resolution the vote stood
yeas 60, nays o. The strongest opponent
ofthis resolution was no other than Mr.. LES
TER Bliss, Of Allen county, who was nomi-
mated last wi9ter for the Office of Lieuten-
ant Governor and that too, by men who
we're we'll acquainted with his political life.
AS to William Medi |, we know that he has
been a strong friend of those who hold thei,
fellow-men in bondage, voting with them a.
gainst the cold man Adams" when he
claimed the right of petition and called for
off cial truth. The old man was arraigned,
the charges were preferred; he asked for
record proof, oficialtrut to prove the false
ness of the charges. The Shareholders vot-
ed that he should not have it. "You shall
not have it, echoed William Medill. Does
the Eagle think that men are green enough
to suppose for a moment, that a man, whose
sympathies are with slavery and slavehold
ers, cares any thing about the 'landless''
and "homeless," any further than their
votes are concerned. How green it mus
think its readers are.

A RAILROAD STATE.-From certain ia
bles and data published in the N. Y. Times,
we gather the following items in relation to
railroads in Ohio. Between the eastern
and western borders Of the State, there are
nine distinct railroad lines running east and
west either entirely fnished'or in rapid prog
ress towards completion. Between Lake
Erie and the Ohio River there are six thro'
lines. Besides there are various other lines,
connecting intermediate points. an built to
answer specific objects. There are "a couh-
ties in the State; Of them sixty-four have,
or will have, railroads running through their
county seat. The whole number Of miles
of railroad will not fall short of three thou

The BRIGHT SIDE.-There is more sun
shine than rain-more Joy than pain, more
love than hate-more smiles than tears in
the world. Those who say to the contrary
we would not choose for our friends and
companions. The good heart, the tender
feelings and the pleasant disposition, makes
smiles, love and sunshine everywhere. A
word spoken PLEASANTLY is a large spot of
sunshine on the sad heart, and who has not
seen its %effectsl A smile is like the burst
ing out Of the sun behind a cloud, to him
who thinks he has no friend in the world.
The tear of affection, how brilliant it shines
along the path Of life! A thousand gems
make a milky way on earth, more glorious
than the glorious cluster over our heads.
The New STEAMBOAT LAw.-Capt. Hal

bearing testimony to the practical and sue
cessful working Of the U. s. law, he stat
ed that in twenty-five years their had been
sixty explosions, and a loss Of more than,
in this, the seventh district, since the en-.
forcement of the late law, not one life had
been lost by explosion.

THr CoMIue ELEcrIoH.-There is no du-
~, which the citizens ola free country owes
to that country, more imperative than that
which requires him to vote at all elections
for officers who are, by the Constitution,
required to be chosen by the suffrages Of the
citizens. The least consideration will sat-
is6y any man Of thi s,-because il any man
may excuse himself from discharging his
duty, by pleading indifference as to the re-
suit or want of fine to allow himto go to the
polls, all may do so; aud though it, may new
or happen that nobody will vote, yet it will
turn out, il this excuse be allowed, that
those who plead it are the very persons most
interested in the election of proper officers,
whilst those who give up their time and seem
90 enprossed in the matter, are really those
whose interests cannot be affected one way
or the other, let who will be chosen, except
az there may be places ofProft or patronage
II bestow by the officer elected. I
Now surety the selection Of the rulers of
rhe State should not be abandoned to those
who have the least interest in the manner
An which the duties of those offices are
discharged. It is nc Justification Tor fail
ing to vote, to show by the returns that
the vote of one man or q hundred men
could not have changedthe result. The e-
feet of example is very great. and there is
io saying how far this indifference or neg
iect may have operated to keep others from
the polIsA,he hundred voters who are
known to have staid away may each have
unknowingly kept another from voting; and
if the hundred had voted and manifested
that zeal in the contest which really they
have and ought to feel, who can say, If
their example was sufficient to excuse 9TH
ers from voting, how far their Jealous de-
votion to the work Of al ding the election OF
proper men, might not have Influenced the
votes Of others, that are now given thought
iessly or recklessly for mere party's sake!
1t would be scarcely assuming too much to
suggest, that il every man should feel it his
duty in this regard to be imperative, and the
neglect of il to involve a crime against the
State, and SO sealously and rigidly exercise
Il, that the electionsi in this country would
soon assume the Importance to which they
are entitled, and always be rightly decided
that is, the best men would be elected to
support the best measures. M
