The Editor of the "Union," { he anti.
American Organ of this city, gives us
another specimen of his braying, in his
Daily Of Saturday the 1lth inst. Having
given room to Il lengthy article from the
Louisville Courier, upon the election riots
in that place, he proceeds with his usual
disregard for truth, to enlighten the commu-
nifty with some of his luminous comments
He says (aftcr charging the riots upon the
American party) that this statement "is
uncontradicted by any body worthy of
credit" This, Andy knows to be false.
What beautiful spectacle it is to sec
Andrew Stuart sitting in judgement and
pronouucing sentence upon the veracity Of
any one, and especially upon that of Prem.
tiss, Editor of the Journal man whose
name will be gratefully remembered long
after that Of the pitiful Editor Of the
Union shall have been forgotten. HI
charges the Americans with "striking til,
first How," in all the late difficulties witt
the foreigners; which charge is also un
true. Here is what she "Courier" r"-tht
paper from which Mr.. Stuart obtains hi
information, says concerning the com
mencement of the fighting:
"The first severe fighting occurred nea
the corner Of Shelby and Green streetS
about Ii clock in the morning. In hi

been killed, but have already heard of
some twelve or fifteen in all, and some
twenty or thirty have been mOre or less

Union Of the Palladium and Buckeye
State-Ealarg ement, &c.

We take pleasure IN announcing to our
readers, that the subscription list, the bu-
siuess aud materials Of the establishment
Of the Western Palladium and Buckeye
State, have been merged into one. This
announcement, we have no doubt, will
be received with qualification by our
friends throughout the county. The name
Buckeye State will be retained, and the
establishment will be conducted by the
present publisher and editor Of the Buck
eye.
The Buckeye State will shortly make its
appearance on one of the largest sheets in
this section of the State. Provided we
can procure our paper in time, this impor'
tant improvement will take place next
week. Our immense increase Of business
and the rapid and substantial growth Of
the Republican party in Columbiana Coun,
ty, seem to require this at our hands
We shall issue one of the best newspapers
and furnish moro substantial and instruc
tive aud interesting reading matter thar
any other paper in the country. Th'
price of the Buckeye will not be increased
but remain at the low price Of 81 so pc
annum, strictly in advance. More upol
, this subject next week. Buckeye State.
That the Buckeye State is destined t
be onc of the most interesting and YER

Gross Deception .

The Cinci inuati Times the organ Of the
Anti-RcpubHcans of Ohio, has been caught
in trick by no means honorable to any
cause, however desperate its chances of
success. Two editions Of the Weekly
Times are issued--one for che Know Moth
.iSgs Of Kentucky, the other for the Know
NOthing Of Ohio. This desperate game
has been played for some time but at last
the forgery was detected. The Louisville
Times, of the 2Sth ult., contains the fol-
lowing paragraph -
"a friend has sent US a copy Of the Dol
lar Times, published in Cincinnati, dated
July 10Th, which is circulated very extern
sively throughout the State. This num-
ber has been expressly gotten up to ope-
rate upon the Kentucky elections. We
have now before us the genuine number of
July 10Th, and the bogus. They are as
different as the two papers can be- The
one is free soil in tone, and the other is
pro-slavery. The genuine Times declares
that the one hundred and thirty thousand
members of the Know Nothing Lodges in
Ohio are thoroughly imbued with antI-sla-
very doctrines, and last fall elected to Con-
grcss full anti-Nebraska delegation
The counterfeit one processes to be devo-
ted to the Constitution and the rights of
the States"
The editor of this same Times is the
man who first started the project of the
9th of August demonstration. How many
men will be lead estray by such treach-
erous hypocrite? About as many, we ap-
prehend, as attended the Mt Pleasant De-
monstration-two omnibus loads.-Gere.

If the Cincinnati Times has been guilty
of the fraud charged upon it by the Louis,
vile Times, it ought to be expelled from
every family in the STATE to which it has
had access We have for some time past
been very Skcptical in regard to the politi
cal honesty of the conductors of that Jour
nal, and unless they are prepared to vindi
cate themselves against the above charge

that the Times is time serving and un

ungenerous means have been res9rted to
in order to omonopolize the patronage of tn
entire American party by the conductor
of that journal, and to some considerable
extent they have succeeded, to the grea

nsyThe Baltimore American, which is
type of the more moderate presses OF
the South, is becoming little alarmed at
the position of the Kansas question 1t
says:
"The repeal Of the Missouri Compro'
mise was an unwise and unnecessary step,
and its consequences are now felt in CIV
ing vitality and energy to an Improbable
yet most dangerous sectional excitement
Ultraists of either side have taken hold
of the issue which the settlement Of Kan
sas involves, and the demands upon the
one side for the repeal of the Kansas and
Nebraska act and upon the other for the
immediate adoption of measures that will
secure Kansas as a slave State, are vehe'
menty enunciated as the principles under
which either party are prepared to push
the combat to the furthest extreme.
X y y Whilst the
present excitement is kept up there is NJ
probability that Congress will consent t.
its admission into the Union as Slav,
State. 1t is useless to shut our eyes t.
tho fact that upon this question the who'll
North is deeply excited, and that viewing
the Nebraska act as breach Of faith the
will unitedly resist the effort to consum
mate it by the recognition of slavery i
Kansas. We may protest against the III
Justice of such q course and condemn
, as an assault upon the Constitutional righ
of the South, but the result will not
, altered"

Official Corruption,

The county of Hamilton, under the
sway of the MAMA Tribe has for some
years been the plunder ground for Locofo.
coism. Political corruption there has done
its perfect work, and in vain have the at
tempts been to purge that locality of the
leeches which drain the taxpayers of their
life blood. Whenever the people open
their eyes, as they did last fall, and boot
the rascals out Of office, some OF these
thieves are brought to justice.
The Courts of Cincinnati have just
closed the trial of John Patton, one of the
County Commissioners, for stcalings and
misdemeanors in Office. The testimony
was clear that he gave friend Of his S7Ol
for building bridge that actually cost the
builder less than 500, aud that in con
sideration of the premises, the contractor
made a present of 500 to Patton, This
is but specimen brick. The whole pill
is very similar. After a careful examlna
tion before jury, on the indictment, ant
after Major General Senator Pugh hae
used all his skill and influence in defend
ing him, the jury brought him in guilty
and the Court has suspended him from
Office, and fined him s40O, the highes
amount authorized by the statute.-Clerc

"a SHORT HoRsR,Is SOON CuRRIED.-
We never charged that F. D. Kimball, the
fusion nominee for Attorney General, was
ian obscure and incompetent man." and
when Rtv. Zachariah Raglan says, as he
does say III the last issue OF his paper, that
we did 80 charge, Rev. Zachariah Rasan
lies"
The above is from the Editor Of the
Union, and bears his unmstaAable mark
on its face. Those who have ever reao
any of his productions will easily recognize
this one by those bright scintillations of
genius that sparkle in every line" We
here give the article, copied by the Union
from the Cincinnati Enquirer, and the Ed
itoy's remarks on the same, and to which
We had reference in our last issue:
"WHY THEY NOMINATED HIM.-Con-
siderable surprise has been expressed all
over the State, that an obscure and incom-
petent lawyer named Klmball, of Medina
County, should be placed upon the 'hodge
podge' ticket, for the important office Of
Attorney General. The reason however,
is evident. His principal competitor, MIR.
Corwine, of this county, had made an ar
gumcnt against the present liquor law be-
fore the Supreme Court, and was therefore
set down as an anti-Maine Law man. On
the contrary Kimball is the head of the
Order of the Sons of Temperance in Ohio
and is a pledged Maine Law man, like the
rest of the ticket."-Cm. Eng.
"The reason of Kimbalrs nomination
as assigned to us by prominent Free Sol
delegate in attendance at the convention
was, that he had been democrat shor
time before, and it was feared that those
democrats who had become attached 10 the
fusion, would return to their ancient allie
glance unless they had some representa-
tive on the ticket. No one knew kimbal
but DR.. Townshend, of the political firm
of Townshend & Morse, and it was upol
, the Dr.'s endorsal and recommendation
> and upon these reasons, that Kimball re
r ceiyed the nomination. Linton.

3. same course to get out of this, that he di

;, rather inclined Southwark and whc
questioned upon some articles that appea

So We suppose he will argue, that when h

adds a commentary to the same for Il
+ purpose of sustaining it; he ought not

what he says himself, in regard to Il

ANECDoTE OF BRANT.-Brant, the ia
nous Indian chief, was as notable for his
wit as his bravery, and often made as good
retort as any attributed to the keenest
of his white brethren. On one occasion a
braggart captain was boasting what he
would have done had he met the warrior
in certain emergency. "I'll tell you,'
said Braut, "what you would have done
you would have followed the example of
another boaster who on meeting me face
to face, took to his heels and never stop
ped until he arrived in Albany-which he
chanced to enter during great. ccnaagr.-
