A REMARKABLE CHANGE.

The late election in Cincinnati gives the intoler.
ants fair chance to disclose their peculiar system
their silent preparations their secret prescriptions;
and their public violence, turbulence and bloodshed.
they have been tried six months ia power; and
honest men who helped them in October, 1854,
were expected to stand BIZ them in April 1885,
But the yarnish has already worn Off their profess
sions have been exposed by their practices and
their Americanism, ike the hypocrisy of the Phari-
see, proves to be mere cloak 70: measures the
most anarchicsl and revolving. The result is set
forth in the following figures, which we copy from
the Cincinnati Commercial a neutral paper The
Commercial says:
As to the charges of Illegal voting, out of which
great efforts have been made to create capital many
persons claiming responsibility, and certainly pos
sessing moderate degree of intelligence have en-
deavored to excuse, and even to Justify, the mon
strous destruction of ballots and ballot boxes on
the ground that there was illegal voting, and that
Americans were not in one case suffered to ap-
rroach the polls In order to set the charge of il.
legal voting right, and at rest we give below the
total vote on Monday, compared with that in o.

az 1t is said of one of the early federalists, "a
Massachusetts federalist, too,) who saw the popu-
lar pulse beating for the democratic creed that he
declared to his friends TURN DEMOCRAT AND MAKE
THE PARTY RIDICULOUS" The new secret party
have taken up this idea, and given it wide and
more significant application. They profess an ex-
elusive '.Americanism" in order to dishonor our
country. They run every licentious theory to more
startling extremes to bring free government into
disgrace. They enact the most indecent and the
most Infamous extravagances in their legislative
characters to libel and to lower the majesty Of the
law. They usurp and pervert the most sacred So
cisl rites to show that we have no morals They
degrade the white and elevate the black And in
their upon particular sect, they forget all re-
ligion and all propriety. Truly have they turned
Americans, not to rule, but to disgrace Ameriea.-

TRE CANDIDATES on rHE LIQUOR QUESTION

IfiE CANDIDATES On THE llQJ QUESTION.
Wepublish to-day the correspondence between
a committee of the temperance convention and the
candidates for Governor on the liquor question.
Il is to be regretted, we think, that the com
mittee did net explain what they meant by pro-
hihitory law "Prohibitonn originated IN Maine,
aud The 'Maine law" has got to be, in public as
cussions, nearly Synonymous with @prohielt'0n, =
1t was perfectly legitimate, therefore ior Gov
JOHNSON TO infer that the committee asked his opn-
ion Of that law. The committee now assert that
they did not ask his opinion of the Maine law 1t
IS to be regretted then, that they did not explain
what they did mean by prohibitory law. The
,4nnerance men themselves very widely disagree
IN their definitions of the word; but in inerrogat-
inc candida,es tbey should have tried to ahix a
meaning to it.
II IS amusing to see the autocrstical pretensious
of the lata temperance convention dwindle down
into the lame and impoteut conclusion of the COM
fnittees letter But SO it is and the reason for il
will come out during the cauysss ps

~ The wheat crop in ans county presents I,

OF The wheat crop in this county presents to
the eye of the farmer most glorious aspect. We
have heard old farmers say that, from one-thrd to
one-half more wheat had been planted this season
than ever before in this county, and that they
have never more beautiful prospect for boun-
teous crop. The farming community for ten day
past have been busy planting corn, and never have
they been favored by dame nature with more
suspicious time. The fruit crop here, too, will be
abundant and amply repay the losses of the last
four years Winchester Star.
