Locofocosm ia Ohio "recls to an fro, and
staggers like drunken man." Drowning
men, they say, catch at straws, but in this
case they have called on the Hercules of lhe
party, and like Cincinpatas of old, the veter-
an MEDARY has left his pow in its furrow,
and agaiV entered the political field at the
head of his party.
Rash courses, of late years, have prevail
ed; old things have passed away, and all
things have become new; and in the flush of
excitement the gray heads wercIpitchet over
board and Young Locofocoism" ran riot in
its mad career. The restless, inpatient. tai
ented Cox lashed down the helm, all sails
were set, g. blown high or low, the craft was
put to her niettle; and now strained in every
seam, masts sprung, canvas in rags, at the
mercy of the polticaltornado which is sweep
ing Locolocoism to it's destruction, the ar.
frghted party turn to she old discarded he'll
msman, md in their desperation cry-Help,
help, or we sink!
1t looks upon the surface to be simple
matter to turn over newspaper from one
proprietor to another, and ordinarily it is;
but in this instance it amounts to an admis-
sion that the party is about to tax, the back
track, for the Statesman has ever been the
moulh-piece of the Locofoco party. MEDIA
RY with his iron will, his despotic arm, had
rendered himself so obnoxious to many of
his partzans, that his position was only to
bemaintaineG by battling his own political
! friends; hence it was deemed necessary to
commit the Leadership to other hands. The
experiment was tried; and now, instead of a
portion OF the party being in rebellion, ths
whole party is dieosganized and split into
fragments. MEDARY cannot save it. His
withdrawal, iustesa Of ,healing old sores, has
opened new and deep snes, and tco late in
his aid implored. There is "no balm in Gill
cad" for decrepid, tottering, Ohio Locofoco-
ism; the tiint of abject subservency to
Southern masters, and the crushing blight
of intolerabe taxation and Jacohinism in
State policy, are too deep to be eradicated
and spare life. The people have wIlled that
the party now in power in Oh;o--a party
which hns driven millions of capital from
| her borders, and thousands of her best citi-
zens from her b. Dad acres-shall be trodden
under foot, and all the talent, shrewdness
nerve and diplomacy of Col. MEDARY cannot
avert it's fall.
We welcome the "Nestor'of Democracy
back to the tripod, but as to planting his
party on It's feet again and leading it forth
to conquer, he will find that the sceptre has
departed from judah, and not "unto him
shall the gathering of the people be-"

A cot cmporary speaking Of the c. s. d &.
Rail Road says;--

Now many persons may look at this in the
light of prophecy, and consider it true as gos-
pei, but the writer gives no reason for his
opinion. lie says the roud will never be fin
ished but says never word about its pres
ent prospects. How does he know! Who
has told him that the road will never be COM

Without giving it as our opinion that the
road will or will not be built, we will merely
give, 80 FAR as we know, ito Prospeete. The
whole line of the road, is about one hu undred
miles; OF this distance about forty mi.es or
iIro:G :Gtihs OF the entire limo is ready for laying
down the rails. This much is done, and the
road is entirely out Of debt, and its prospects
for liberal subscriptions along the line are
very good. Being out If debt is favorable
omen, for il is what cannot be said of all
roads in this part OF the world.
