A Nut for Judge Douglas to Crack.

Hon. Archibald Dixon, late Whig U. S
Senator from Kentucky, and one of the lead
ing Know Nothings Of that State, has writ
ten a letter advising his brother Know
Nothings to hereafter 60 with the slavery
wing of the Democratic party. The object
OF the Know Nothing organization was t.
keep free labor out of Kansas. The policy
of Judge Douglas would do this. Hence Mr.
Dixon thinks there is no further need of the
Know Nothing organization.
1t is curious commentary upon the
speeches of Judge Douglas, that the Know
Nothings are acting with him. stf
The Know Nothings did all they could in
Ohio to defeat the election of Mr.. Chase.
This is exactly what Judge Douglas wanted.
The Know Nothings are now at work en-
deavoring to defeat the election of Julius
Rockwell for Governor of Massachusetts.
Douglas and his slavery extension allies are
working for the same purpose.
The Know Nothings are busily at work in
New York, endeavoring to defeat the cleo
tion of Preston King. Douglas and his par
tlzans are laboring to secure the same end.
SO it is everywhere. The Know Nothings
and Judge Douglas are fighting for slavery,
and we would just as soon join a Know
Nothing Lodge, as advocate the extension of
Slavery into Kansas.
There is another remarkable fact When
ever you find a man who wishes to weigh
down the anti-slavery-extension cause, by
the Maine Law, or any other ism, you can
rely upon it that he is secret tool of Doug
las. Disrobe the anti-slavery y-exte nsion par
ty OF every other question and Judge Doug
las could not stand against it for a single
minute. .. t....-.. .-
He pretends to be against Fusion, but he
is trying to fuse with both sides of every
thing to save the negro question. He is
trying to fuse with the foreigners against
Know Nethingism whilst lie makes his allies
of the south fuse with the Know Nothings.
So with the Maine Law. He pretends to be
against it himself, but he dare not father his
own editorials against it. When called up
on to make speech against it in the Park,
he sent his man Cook to take his place whilst
he had friends running around telling Tenn
perance men he was in favor of the law
A few days ago he writes letter to Bos-
ton for publication, stating that neither his
tastes nor his public duties will allow him to
discuss the question of slavery-yet he is
continually making speeches and writing ed
itorials upon that subject. .,.. ..-.si ~ .
We ask the people to reflect upon these
things, and to pin them upon Douglas where
ever he goes. His double-dealing should be
exposed. No man occupying the position he
does should be allowed to benefit by such
subterfuges as he is always practising.-Cbi-
cago Dem.

A Majority Of Seventy Thousand for IN. re-.
ss-., publican Ticket

!, We have already announced the election
, of Chase as Governor of Ohio by at leas
TWENTY THOUSAND majority, and the re
mainder of the Republican ticket by ma
jority of 10000. This fact was defnitel,
known in St. Paul by the mail of Thursda,
morning, and yet the Democrat of that eve
ming (for the accomplishment of some NEAR
purpose no doubt) continued to deceive its
readers into the belief that Medill is elected
Governor! Who can put faith in such q
miserable retailer Of falsehood hereafter
Bonfres, illuminations, speeches, process
sions, and cannon firing were general all over
Ohio as the wires announced the Republican
victory. Butler, (Chase was there,) Leban-
on, GAINESVILLE, Cleveland, &c., were in a
revel of joy. Friday night. the majority for
Chase was announced at Columbus to be in
sixty-six counties 1924, with the certainty
of the remaining counties increasing it. The
Old Liners then had elected to the Legisla-
ture only three Senators and nineteen Rep
resentatives The Republicans twenty-five
Senators and sixty Representatives
The Central Committee of the State have
issued the following congratulatory address
The Republican State Central Committee
of Ohio, tender to their friends throughout
the State and Nation, their warm and cheer
full congratulations on the event of the can
vass just now closed-an an event as glori-
Gus in its results as the triumph is complete.
The fruits of this victory are:
Il Republican Gouanoa; -.
Il Republican 1t. Gooanor;
Il Republican Senaie;
Il Republican House of Repqesentatives:
Il Republican auditor of Stote;
Il Republican Treasurer of State;
Il Republican Secretary Of Sate;
Il Republican Board Of Public Works;
Ia0o Republican Jue7ges Supreme Court;
Il Republican AAorney General;
A PEpUBLIcAN U. S. SENATOR, and
A REPUBLICAN PEOPLE!
We feel that in such result, we are war
ranted in calling upon our friends, and the
friends of freedom everywhere, to rejoice
with US. We regard this result as one Of the
most signal civic triumphs ever achieved;
triumph of principle over the combined power
of party faction and prgudice. A triumph, the
effects of which are by no means limited to
the boundaries of our State. 1t must exert
a moral influence that will tell for freedom
wherever it shall be proclaimed.
The Committee regard it as proper that a
result SO auspicious of good should be mark
ed by more than ordinary demonstration;
demonstration; and would say to their Re
publican friends Of the counties, who have
so nobly contributed to this illustrious con-
summation, that measures are about being
taken for an appropriate popular lemQnstra-
ton of joy, in which every Republican of
Ohio will be cordially invited to participate.
This jubilee will be held at Columbus, on
some day prior to the 1st of December, of
which further notice may be expected.
By order of the Republican State Central
Committee. -...-: Cis

BITE OF A RATTLEsNAKE.-Dr. Thomas
of Monticello, Ind, reports case of rattle
snake bite. Mr. j. Fl. S., aged 38, who
stands six feet in his stockings-who, by the
way, was very fond of brandy-had just
been bitten on the inside of his left heel by
a large rattlesnake, both fangs having been
we'll inserted in the muscles. In thirty-six
hours he was sound and well. gave him,
in the short time alluded to, one quart of
brandy and one and half gallons of whisky,
and without intoxication. He wanted more,
but refused to supply his wants.
The next day Mr.. H., his next neighbor,
was passing along and saw him with his
pants rolled up to his knees, bare-footed, and
wading around in some grass and weeds with
his feet. H. asked if he had lost anything ?
"No, SIR" "What are you doing, then ?''
"I'm hunting snake. There amt any IL
quor only what DR.. Thomas has, and he
won't let me have any unless am snake
bit; SO Pm hunting one."

Hon. G. G. WAsHBuRNE. - The Galena
Advertiser mentions the severe and danger
ous illness of this gentleman in that CITY,
Mr.. w. is the member elect to Congress
from the adjacent district of Wisconsin, and
one in whom the hopes of thousands are con-
centrated in this whole North West, to aid
in carrying out measures dear to its people.
The announcement of his dangerous situa-
ton has filed the hearts of his numerous
friends in this community with the deepest
anxiety, and we trust that the next news may
be of much more favorable character than
the last. The Advertiser of Thursday says
"Mr. Washburne was thought to be no
better yesterday. DR.. Herrick, of Chicago
was in consultation with the attending ply
sicians." .,-,.-., r-fs. ..s - :, -

day of election, and has got portion of. his
reward already by being defeated by the
legal voters of the district. We rejoice over
the result but our Republican friends should
have fought the battle on their own princi-

CURIOUS COURSE OF TRADE.-The Wash
ington Union says, that an instance
of the curious course of trade is noticed in
the fact that most of the California wheat
cisco has been sold for export to Europe
The wheat, before it reaches the consumer
will have travelled long distance. Grown
in Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania, it was
originally shipped from that port to the Pa
cifc, but not finding market there, it was
sent back to New York again; and now from
New York it goes to Liverpool and the con-
tinent.

prospect that our City will be better gov
erned and more moderately robbed than it

A GANG OF SAws.-See":eTai UP and down
saws set at regular distances in one frame,
so as to cut up whole log at once, consti-
tute "gang." They vary in number from
twelve to twenty perhaps. OF course a
part of what is gained in time is lost in pow
er, so that gang of 20 saws accomplishes
about as much as three or four separate ones,
turning out something like thousand feet
per hour. Such a gang with % saws is to
be put into the new mill at this place, to-
gether with circular saw, and possibly a
shingle machine. Some months may pass,
however, before they are got into operation

INGENIOUS REvENGE.-The Paris cores
pondent of the New York Times says:
The following anecdote of Horace Vernet
is amusing the Parisians, though, suppose,
there is not grain of truth in it. The ar
tist was coming from Versailles to the city
in the cars. In the same compartment with
him were two ladies whom he had never
seen before, but who evidently were acquain-
ted with him. They examined him very
minutely, commented upon him quite freely,
upon his martial bearing, his hale old age
his military pantaloons, &c. The painter
was annoyed and determined to put an end
to the persecution. AS the train passed
under the tunnel of St. Cloud the three
travellers were wrapped in complete dark
ness. Vernet raised the back of his hand to
his mouth and kissed it twice, violently. Or
emerging from the obscurity he found the
ladies had withdrawn their attention from
him, and were accusing each other of having
been kissed by man in the dark. AS they
arrived at Paris, Vernet, on leaving them
said, "ladies, / shall be puzzled all my life
by the inquiry, which of these two ladies
was it who kissed me 2"

tied range of prices shows. From Michigan
the receipts are increasing. There are occa-
sionally parcels which are quoted as grown,

time of harvesting. From Wisconsin, there
have also been fair amounts received which
