As OF OLD-Business, since the setting in of
the New Year, seems to have again assumed its
former brisk appearance, Notwithstanding the
still existing low stage of water in the Lafourche
Money matters, however, still remain tight from
the fact that it is almost impossible for
our planters to transport any portion of
their crops to market Nothing but a
rise in the upper rivers can in any wise change
the present aspect Of affairs in this particular
How clearly does this demonstrate the impor-
lance Of railroad communication. "Penny wise
and pound foolish" unfortunately, has too
long been the motto of our Southern people.

the most energetic and enterprising of our mer-

SUGAR MAKING--The sugar growing portion
Of our planters are now on the eve Of closing
their labors for the season. A number have
already finished rolling and others will close by
the ides Of the month, whilst but few will con-
tinue on until the first proximo. The crops, as
general thing, are not as large as was expected
at the commencement Of the season, but still no
serious complaint can be made. The quantity
Of wood used to the hogshead Of sugar, has
been greater this year, than ever before known,
owing to the lack of the sacharine properties Of
the cane caused by too great, a quantity Of rain
during the fall months, and the remarkably
mild season, causing the cane to vegitate until
the recent frosts.

WHERE is IT AND WHERE HAS IT BEEN
We mean the money received by our
County for stock in the T. N. & G. r. R
This money. amounting to some eight thous
and dollars, we understand was paid oven
last spring. The county commissioners, by
the law, held it as trust fund for the
townships taxed to raise it. 1t has beer
laid some where for months, it does not ap
pear in the annual exhibit of Receipts and
Expenditures We have heard nothing o.
it, and simply call for information. AS one
ofthe humble people, having an interest in
this fund, we believe it righ. that the peo
pie should know what uses it is being pu
to. Is it in the Treasury ? is it on interest
nr does it furnish capital for some sharp op
orator to make money with for himself?
How long before the trustees of our town
ship will call for il, and make some showing
to the people.
From our knowledge of our county com

The Democrat finds fault because now
and then the people in Wing Distric, or
County happen to place Wing in nomina-
ton 10 carry out their views, and 10 others
are willing to support an anti-slavcry Dem
ocrat. No doubt this course troubles our
friend. But we merely ask if il is any Of
his business? He may well be troubled
but does be expect we will interfere to save
him little modification, when the best in
terest Of the country demands that he
should sit on the stool Of repentance and
have time 10 consider?
We think charity begins at home, and
our friend will find ample employment for
all his powers in keeping his phalanx Of
unscratchables solid and harmonious till the
election,
However, as to the tactics. he will find
bis own party in quite as ridiculous a posi-
ton as the most Unsuitable lover the ludic-
rous could ask for.
In the first place, South Of SO deg. 80
min. Slavery extension is the test of Democ-
racy, as per Hon. T. H. Benton's defeat,
and Southern politicians and papers in gen.
eral. Again, in Lucas counry it is not so.
in Sandusky county it is no matter, either
way till after the election and then it will be
as approved by the people here.
Down south, Wing votes and Wing vic
tories are thankfully received, if they only
support Pierce on the slavery question
North it is no matter at all, except in spots,
as in this and the Franklin Congressional
neighbor ought 10 be looking at.

TALKING ABOUT FANATIcIsM.-A friend

sect in the van of all their political move

IT IS CLEAR that if the slaveocracy in
Ohio, save themselves from a total over
throw, at the coming election. it will be
done by pretended, hypocritical renunci'
alton of the policy pursued BY their Presi-
dent and Congress.
We don't believe even this mortifying
shift will save them. But if it should, it
will be but short lived victory, and lay
the train for more terrible and fearful ex-
plosion at the succeeding election. Let the
friends Of freedom take courage. let them
work on, let them be watchful, and vigilant
in exposing the misdoings, false pretences.
and corrupt management of the party in
power, and its days in Ohio are numbered.
What use in quarreling, or wrangling
amongst a powerless people; people held
in servitude by corrupt political organiza-
lion; until the tyrants are stricken down
and the sceptre restored to the people. 1t
will then be too soon for fatal division
about men and minor questions.
The great issue is this and nothing less
Shall slavery. and slavery propagandists
legslate for and rule th,s country and crush
out freedoms Or shall freedom rule ana
pressrve the country from the withering,
6Hghting influence Of slavery and slavery
ertsnsions Shall freedom or slavery be
the great characteristic of the Unions

slavery must be met; il is now upon u.s.
1t is vain for politicians and conventions to
say this is minor thing, side issue, no
test &c. Itis worse than vain-itis wrong
The men who talk tkus are not the men
for the times. they will at the crisis prove
traitors to one side or the other, they do not
desereve the confidence of either party tc
this great question. They are bats hover
