A genuine live Know Nothing for the
use ofthe editor of the Democrat
He is not favorable to black ones should
prefer something imported. as be has just
now slight prejudice against anything ma
tive or peculiarly belonging to this country.
A good specimen is desired, as it is sup
posed this article is necessary to sustain
the patriotic zeal Of our brother editor. it is
hoped our patrons viii spare no pains tO
catck one for him. Besides this reason
there is another which appeals forcibly to
sympathetic hesrts-that is our neighbor's
health. He may go into an unaccoun:able
decline, unless this is done. do catch one

The Law Trinmphauf. !.

The most cheering intelligence Of ihe
good results Of the Temperance Law comes
up from all portions Of the State. Even
in Cincinnati the law is sustained. and the
principal liquor dealers have bowed to its
mandate. Judge PARKER set an example
Of enforcing the law, and the Grand Jury
returned indictments against some Fifty Of
Of the main violators. When brought up
for trial, the prison CRATES had no charms,
and through their counsel a proposition
was made to discontinue the criminal traf-
fc, which was accepted BY the Prosecuting
Attorney, who consented to let the indict-
ments now found against the violators Of
the Liquor Law remain, if the parties
would sign bonds for their appearance for
trial, which would be left unprosecuted tenn
porally, on their signing pledge TO dis
continue the illegal sale FOR the future. II
theY violate the same, he is to present their
cases 10 Court for trial, and the due execu-
ton Of the law, on the indictments already
found, and to bring suits in each subse-
quent case that can be found of violation.
The following is the pledge:- CIeV. Her
