Test the Que stion.

We have been surprised that many Of
our best papers have fought against a
prohibitory law from the fact that the
question involved has been one of a
moral nature. Away behind the age in
which they live, they have come up t
the eleventh hour, brushing the dusty
cobwebs from their eyes, only to be
shocked and thunderstruck at the strange
freaks and caperings of progressive
people. Their souls are shaken with
pious awe at the thought Of divesting
hoary-headed moral suasion of her ON
nipotent attributes and Incorporating
them into human Legislation. We hope
now, as God in his good providence has
seen fit to leave the temperance cause
in the hands of moral suasion two years
longer, that the friends of this mode of
reform will put it sternly to the test, in
order that when we bring up the pro-
hibitory law sgain, they may have their
eyes open, and know whether such
thing is needed or not. We are very
we'll convinced that il they but try the
moral suasion plan awhile, they will dis
cover that something much more eff
cient is necessary B.

The Election.

The returns from the election, as far as
received, are very unsatisfactory, and we
have no means of ascertaining how many
friends of Prohibition have been elected.
The only thing that we are certain of is,
that the Democrats have carried every thing
before them; perfect Democratic tornado
has swept over the State.

The Whisky Buzzard.
We observe that many Of the whisky
Prints have paraded the old rooster al
their mast heads, to crow over the result
of the election. We have known these
chivalrous birdsto be employed for many
tosOl (foul) purposes, but we think that
this is by odds the most foul (toul) and
revolving Of any use that the depravity of
man has ever put them them to- When
God created the fowls Of tns air, he gave
to vultures carniverous disposition, and
very often have they borne terrific proof
Of this disposition, when, as the sound of
battle has died away, they have focked
to the field of the slain, and there, with
dreadful yell, amid the groans Of the dy-
ing, have goTged themselves upon the
flesh and blood of human carcasses. But
it was never given to bird nor beast to
exult over the sorrows of the widow, the
tears of the orphan, the blood of society.
No, they can only do this by the dark
interposition Of man. Then they are
made to perch upon the CORY banner Of
polluted and perverted Press, and sing
the deaih-wail Of murdered peace; and
innocence and love. And what now is
the occasion upon which these papers
hoist this vulture symbol of victory! Is
it because society is at last rid Of the ty-
rant grasp, the demon clutch, the scorch-
ing pestiIence of the liquor traffic? Oh!
no. None SO cheering news gladdens
the thousands Of bleeding hearts that are
yearly being crushed by intemperance.
Dear readers, this Shout Of triumph is
raised from the very funeral pile of your
most cherished hopes and interests, of
all that sOu hold dear, and sacred and
lovely on earth Two years longer have
you got TO remain inundated and sub
merged by this stream of liquid death.
Fathers, brothers and sons, be well on
your guard, for the "bird Of prey" is
sounding the note of victory, the hunters
are in pursuit of you, and the blood
hounds are baying on your track. Mo-
Tiers, sisters and daughters, "f you have
tears, prepare to shed them," for the
fiends Of hell are still amongst you, ready
to rob you of your honors, to strip you
of your loveliness, TO beggar you Of your
happiness, and crush you under life of
pain, and misery and woe. But who
cares for all this ifthe democratic party"
has secured victory! Let the birds Of
prey crow. Let grog-shops be illumi-
mated, and let the shout of devils on
earth, and fiends in pandemonium, min
gle with the wall of despair which goes
up from the broken hearts Of youth and
innocence throughout Ohio. B.

Bad GueSsing z.

The N. Y. Tribune in noticing the 'com-
ing elections" euesses "that the Democracy
will carry the Legislature of Kentucky, for
the first time since 1880, on account of the
Liquor Law agitation" Mr.. Greedy may be
pleased to hear that instead of doing this, the
Wings gained very considerably. But the
editor of the Tribune has been of opinion the
Wing party is dead, and probably could not
reconcile itself to such foolishly expressed
opinion, that there were enough Wings any
where to beat the Locofocos. We think how.
ever, Western Wings are not made of such
material, as on the occasion of defeat, to
make an ignominions surrender of even the
life of their own party. We neuer giue up out
here, Mr.. Greedy, and We have blessed poor
opinion of those who preach such policy.
The Tribune also guesses that in Teunes.
see, Andrew Johnson, DEM, will beat G.. 4
Henry, Wing, for Governor. The result will
probably convince the Tribune that the
Wings are not all dead yet. Mr.. Henry il
undoubtedly elected. We hope the Tribune
will hereafter in its guessing use more discre
ton. Or at least guess with particular respec
to the fact that there is Wing party among
US Western folks.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 3.

A~ASoSnSn1 ~A~6
Fs1ESD ApD:-The drought has at length
declared an armistice; rain and shine succeed
each other in rapid succession. An average
OF four showers per day, completes our ra.
tons. A remarkable summer this, April
weather In July and August, and even a slight
fall OF Snow, gave the Gothamtes, on inau-
-guration day, delightful antepast of next
winter. Grain crops toxard the sunrise
seem to have suffered rather more from the
want Of rain than those in Ohio, Western
Fruit, however, looks promising. Peaches
were selling at for penny, ana pears 3 for
q penny three weeks ago in New York and
Philadelphia. We may consider ourselves
very fortunate in having rain even at this late
period. Early potatoes are failure general
ly; they are scarcely worth digging, and
turage. Farmers have been obliged to feed
out of their next winters store. The long
wished for rain has come at last, though, and
now the new grass will spring up, now the
wilted, yellow looking corn will uncurl its
parched leaves, now the ''late pratees" will
be re-invigorated, and yield an abundant crop,
now the dsheartened husbandman smiles
again and looks out gladly upon the propitious
little ClOud tnat grows sun laT8er I'D tile Yves
tern sky. Chandelier sounds his shrill cla-
rion, as he retires to roost, and the aged GUIDE
wife, who is also interested in the weather,
(for her Cummings have become rather light
of late) looks wisely over her specs and in
terprets his roostership's predction--infal-
libe of course-of rain, next morning, with
the old "saw," that "when the rooster crows
in the evening, he will rise next morning with
a wet head" the sun sinks down to rest be-
hind cloud, and we all go to our dreams
rise in the morning, TO find it raining ''sure as
shooting" The air is thick and murky, drz-
zling mists fill up the interstices between the
showers; tie roads are soft and sloppy; little
streams swell and make fuss and the river
threatens to rise, but fails in the attempt
The encouraged steamboatman looks up
shakes his head in uncertainty, and looks
down again; he is afraid to risk it. The fact
is, this whole season has been a failure. The
almanac says, weather, the day before OF
the day AFTER" and we've had no weather a,
all this summer, neither the day before nor the
day after. We need complete transmogri-
| tication, before we can describe our real con-
dition, and when that transmocriic: ton
takes place, you shall hear again on this sub
ject from ASMODEUS.

We had supposed the editor of the Enquirer
when he returned home, would at once put q
snaffie-bit on the ass who has been kicking up
his heels in the columns of that paper during
his absence. In two or three articles the
writer, whoever he may be, placed himselfin
position before the community, which we
had no desire to prevent him occupying I'm.
disturbed. Our Junior, however, assumed
the responsibility" of exposing some of the
writer's worse than mere folly, and his article
was written as coming from himself. We had
no desire to kick into notice man who may
be as morally corrupt and irresponsible Pri'
vately, as he certainly is publicly. He has
been for days soliciting our notice, and ne
tainly not till he receives public endorse
ment from Mr. J. B. Hall. 1t is time this
were given. 1t is time that this community
be instructed as to who is this man, that they
may Judge of the personal responsibility
about which he is so fond of talking. As for
ourself, were we a creditor Of his, or his wash
er-woman, we might take some interest in his
personal responsibility, but as it is, we care
no more about it than we do for the articles
which this "personable responsibility" is
meant to back. We hope, however, Mr..
Hall will do us the justice to believe, that we
have had no desire to dictate to him or his.
We have wished him prosperity in his EN-
terprise, and we hope nothing further disa-
greeable may occur in our intercourse to make
this wish less earnest.

Is there a yyhig Party!

We have be N for some time thorouI hly
convinced that there is a Wing party among
us, and whenever it shows its teeth, Locofo.
coism is in considerable peril. We might
have asked in 1910, is there a Locofcco par
ty among US! Orvery appropriately the same
question might have been propounded in 1913,
for certainly the party called Wing was not
more emphatcally "used up" last Fresiden-
tial election, than were the Locofoco party in
40 and '48. Yet, in IA and '52, we all be-
came firmly convinced there pas Locofuco
party among us. We think and can almost
predict Tn t in SO our Democratic neighbors
will become thoroughly informed on the sub
ject matter of this last query, and will not
feel at all inclined thereafter to ask sis there
Wsig party among us.''
We are inclined to believe the question
has been pretty well answered in Kentucky
and Tennessee, and that there at least
our friends won't be much troubled by that
question. Considering that a full Wing vote
is never polled unless under some great poll
fical excitement, and that there was scarcely
any such excitement prevailing in those
States on the occasion of the late election, we
think the Wings there deserve the applause
of their brethren all over the Union. They
have proven satisfactorily, there is some Wing
party across the big creek.
