Allen and the Presidency.

The Ashland Union hoists the name
of William Allen as its candidate for
President in 1856. One reason urged
in his favor is, that he is more accepta-
Bile to the South thar any Northern
man. Bat, how will he run at home +?
II, is we'll enough to think Of that
Ohio State journal.
How will he run at home, should AL
len receive the nomination of the DEM
~ocratic Nationel Convention ? That
question can be easily answered. He
would not receive the Know Nothing
vote, because he is sternly opposed to
prescription in consequence of the place
where q man may be born. He holds
that this government can not under the
constitution legally, c1nstitutionally or
rightfully institute D inquiry into what
kind of religion every man may see prop
er to practice; and in the appointments
to Office he considers it a matter of in
difference where a man may have been
swaddled, if he is q citizen, of this coun-
try either by birth or adoption, and full
ly comes up to the J~efersonian standard
for honesty aud capacity, aud to jack
SON. s standard as to loyalty to the Unious
He would not receive the votes of Abo-
litionists or of men who are actively en-
gagged in the formation of a sectional
party, because he looks upon this Union
as decidedly the greatest political Union
that has ever existed since the forma-
ton of civil governments, and that its
form of government secures to the great
mass of its people more real happiness
Sh.r $40 .tIor fo-,o 49,
in existence, or any that has ever secur-
ed, secures to the mass of its people, and
he would do nothing, should it 50 hap
pen that he should be elected President,
in any manner to impair its integrity or
its perpetuity. In his private rolat ons
he practices strict honesty, and he claims
that equal honesty ought to be rractic-
ed in politics; and as he would not
seek to evade the ful6llment of q con-
tract between himself and another indi-
vidual by quirks and bubbles, SO he
would not endcavor, by a species of hair
splitting sophistry, to see if some sec
ton of the Union could not be shorn of
some of its constitutional rights. BY
his courre of policy he would say to al
sections of the Union" | know you not
as sections '-as either the east or the
west-the north or the south-but as
members of the whole confederacy, and
as such entitled to equal rights and
equal privilegcs-no more and no less"
Men who subscribe not to sentiments
such as these would unquestionably vote
against him aud if upon fair trial it
should prove that ttey are in the ma
jority, of course he would be thrown it,
to a minority at home, and not other
wise. That's the way he would run at
home.-ChiXicOthc AdrertiSer.

Ashland Lyceum

The Lite,ut5 of Ashland have com
pleted their organization fer the pur
pose of debating questions, reading es-
says and Lectures, this coming winter,
Ashland in by:gone days, had some rep
utation for literary taste ard ability
but fer a series of years past. it has sad
" dcgenerated. This is apparent to
every one. When we first made our
advent il Ashland some years ago, it
aad desoryedly some reputation in this
line, and it's citizens " thought much >
of improving their minds and of cult
waiting their intellects. In those days
the standard of worth differed slightly
from tho present in this that intellect
was more admired than the Almighty
Dollar History points to US this fact,
that there is a time with every nation
when it retrogades instead of advan-
ees- This time has overtaken Ashland
for the past few years. Where, tell
US, are the young people of this place
who once tack an active part in i'm
proving their minds? Is it not a fact
that a large portion of our young Peo-
rle and middle aged pay but little at
t%ention to iitssary matters? No one
will claim that the interest once felt in
this community, exists at the present
daY. But . truce to those things
which are behind and let us in future
"press toward the prize Of high calling"
by raising the standard of intelli-
gcnce in our community. The Ash
landsLyceum is formed mainly to have
q place Of meeting once a week, where
u young people, Of bota sexes, can pass
a few hours IL intellectually bene fitting
themselves. IF the young gentlemen
cannot devote a few hours in each week

ering-no matter how much they de
sire to go-unless a gentleman specially
calls to accompany her.
We hope that the meetings of this
Lyceuu, every Saturday night, win be
well attended. let all other gatherings
of social nature give way to Bshis one
evening Of the v eks for the Improvement
of the mind. Let it not be said that
the younger portion of our society is
less intelligent on general matters, than
any other community. We guarantee,
that with the Speaking and Lectures,
more Information will be disseminated
in m evening, than could be gained
by reading for weeks.

Philadelphia Firemen Sold"

A man calling himself James Walton,
representing himself as a delegate from
the Croton Hose Conn any of New York
visited Philadelphia, put up at a hotel,
aud called upon the Good Will Fire
Company of the City of Brotherly Love,
asking the loan of their house for the
New YORK boys " machine, when that
Company should visit ~Philadelphia on a
day set. The Good will, true to their
name, made 4 Company guest of Mr..
Walton, and took measures to receive
the {" Croton " boys in true Fire En-.
CINE style. The Philadelphia Ga7ctte
thus tells the result:
According to the arrangement, the
Croton Hose Company was to arrive in
this city on Friday evening. A band
of music was engaged and preparations
made for a grand reception at the en-
CINE house. An extensive and costly
supper was set out in the hall of the en-
CINE house; flags were strung across
Race street; the hall was elegantly dec
Grated a transparency, bearing the
words Welcome, Croton," was gotten
up to be hung in front of the building,
and candles were placed for the illumi-
n ton of the windows. Even the indi.
vidual who was to do the stalking portion
of the reception, had his speech ready
and well coined. The Croton was to ar
rive at Walnut street wharfa at 10 p. NJ.
Previous to that timo a committee of
Good VIII members, with Lieut. Hol-
lick at their head, repaired to the tele-
graph Office, and sent on a despatch to
know if the Croton men had started
The response was that nothing was there
known of any visiting fremen. TIE
committee went to the wharf. The boat
arrived, but 70 Croton was apparent -
The committe then repaired to the ho-
tel, and made inquiry for Mr.. Walton.
They were informed that that interest
ing individual had left, after a vain at
I mpt to borrow a watch and chain from
a servant. He had forgotten tho foot
ing of his bill, but had left his baggage
"a small carpet bag, containing some
patent medicine placards. The com
pleteness Of the hoax was now fully APP
parent to the eyes of the csmmittee,
and they had nothing to do but to re-
port the same to the expectant ones at
the engine house. Soon afterwards
there might have been seen on Broad
and Race streets a silent taking down of
flags, a stealthy removal of candles, a
hiding of a transparency, and other in
dications that 1.-THE ssn apprecia-
ted, winding up, however, with a gener-
al i" blow out +" of the victims, as they
disposed of the good things collected
for the visionary Croton boys. There
was decided originality in that display
of roguery, but another visit to Broad
and Race streets, on the part Of the We.
ry original perpetrator, might lead to
rise in leather, which would perhsps hurt
his feelings beyond repair.
