Have Southern task heard of John Quincy
Adams or Joshua R. Giddings? Nonsense on such
slang, we are heartily sick of it, and have no more
fears of such men going out of the Union, than We
have of our paupers running away from the Aims
House.
This is the description of people with whose vico
res the party of the constitution the Southern
people called upon to sympathise. The Demo
Gratis hare been defeated at the North. Would not
the southern people ten times rather sympathise with
them in their defeat than join in the rejoicings of
such coalition as that by which they have been
overthrown.
There is such thing as zeal not only without
knowledge, but without justice propriety Such a
zeal seems to have moved the Editor of the CONNER
sal in pennng editorial article for his issue of this
morning, headed "DeplorabIe Infatuation." In this
article, without exam nation, without waiting for
particulars, without anything to indicate the really
culDa5le parties in the melancholy and disgraceful
riots in Cincinnati, which have panied the hearts of
every good CITIZEN he jumps to the conclusion
that the becs of his christian dislike the democrats,
whom he calls foreign population" must necessarily
be in the wrong. Now, justice compels to say that
at this stage of the affair, he has no warrant for
such a conclusion-no right to turn affair which
all must regret, into an Incorporate parzan appeal.
The dispatches from Cincinnati, as we find them in
all the papers to amount to this The vote in
the Eleventh and Twelfth wards is strongly Demo-

being counted, the Democrats would have carried the

Taylor, K. N, has AIT majority for: Mayor, The
following despatch appears in the Baltimore Clipper,
an avowed K. N. organ, and cannot be supposed over
favourable to the opposite party:
CINCINNATI, April 3-P. M. The city remains
quiet On an investigation it has been ascertained
that the ballot box of the 18th ward contained SIS
more tickets than there recorded the
poll books. One of the judges insisted on throwing
out the entire vote, but the others would not agree,
and while the judge counting the votes body
of entered the and took the box contain
ing the tickets, forcibly from them and then burnt
the ballots and tally sheets in the open street. Thus
the votes of the eleventh and twelfth wards have
been destroyed.
The remaining wards give Taylor, American, AIT
majority.
The American party contend that there has been a
large amount of illegal voting.
1t is reported that Taylor will not accept the office
under the circumstances.
The result of the riot being the destruction of the
ballots and tally sheets of strong Democrat wards
and the effect Of this destruction being to leave the
K. N candidate in the majority, mag tend 10 throw
some light upon the motives of those who instgated
this disturbance.
We do not pretend to decide the question of pa
biity but certainly these facts sufficient to cast
considerable doubt the conclusions to which the
Commercial comes. For our own part we can but
regret such occurrences eminently unfortunate in
every respect Ii Mr. Taylor would not accept an
election under the circumstances, there is certainly
reason for pause.-Daily Journal, 5th inst.
FAST AGE-Even the horses seem 10 be inspired
by the same progressive spirit of which we hear &C
much among the bipeds. and they run faster, kick
higher, and snort louder than the bosses of Other
days" If there be mistake about the telegraphic
despatch from New Orleans which says that Lexng-
ton beat Lecompt in the great four mile race run on
the % inst, making the heat in I'M 1875, all former
horsedom is thrown into the shade by upwards Of
considerable, and the representatives of Young A.
merica," of the horse order, are away ahead of the
old foges. The fastest lime made BY Fashion in the
race in which she beat Boston was I'm 32s. this
continued 10 be the best time record until last fall
when l.ecompt made the heat in I'm 26s. !; and now
it appears that Lexington has beaten that and got il
down to I'm. 1875
1t turns out however, that this was single dash
of four miles against time and not a regular race
where any necessity existed of reserYng any ener

the case when Lecompt made his great time. It is
