s OF their party, and the s.soundness'' of mort
q en democracy upon the slavery question.
d rs hard 10 find out what the democrats real
intend to imply by their boasted "soundness
!. OF their northern wing; for it assumes eve
: hue and shade of tie rainbow Let us tai
n glance at The 'soundness" displayed the OF
:. er day By the democracy Of Ohio. Weeks b
! ;, fore the election. is was placed beyond doul
that the contest for governor would eertainl
o fall between Medill and Chase, the latter
e rank abolitionist and late a Pierce freesoil q
senator from Ohio; and when the official IT
turns came In, it was found that, in order t
defeat the abolitionist Chase, most of the oil
wing and many of the present strong Amer
can counties warmly supported Medil, althc
he was ''the regular" democratic nominee
while the old democratic eounties-the strong
holds of the great national party, and tn
Oulwark of its Wanted sssoundness," where tn
lever faithful and the "sound'' men live ant
rue-these sold democratic counties yoted fol
] Chase and the entire abolition ticketi The lead
ing democratic. papers of Ohio admit such t.
have been the fact. The Cincinnati Enquirer
the official organ of democracy in the State, de-
| plores the wholesale detection, and boiling te
| the abolitionists, and at the same time owns uu
to the fact that many of the old wing counties
voted for Medll in the hope of defeating Chase.
The Columbus Statesman, also leading dem
ocratic journal, when the fact of the defeat be-
came apparent published the following candid
admission: @ .-asa- .'- GAIN bye -.
''The returns, as they came in late on Tues
day night, indicated the election of Medill by
large majority, but tie old democratic counties
came up the acrong aoay again and turned the tide,
and now we fear that Medill is beaten, and the
whole fusion ticket is elected
And elected by democratic voters, who are.
according to the declarations and observations
of southern democrats, sound upon the slayes
ry question and the nationality" ofthe party
The reader will remember that the official and
most influential organs of their party in Ohio
ascrbes the recent defeat of their party in that
State, to the fact that the old democratic coun-
lies came up the wrong againp' that these cold
democratic counties" voted for Chase!! And
hat the entire abolition ticket was elected bv
hose very same oil democrats. Now, then,
What do the democrats mean when they vaunt
If the "soundness" of their party at the north?
fits "nationalitv?'
WHIsKET.-As the voters of our town have
ecided to fall back upon the cold line policy
+ granting license to retailers of spurious H.
uors, 1t may not be undressing to them to
earn the enormous profits realised by distillers
whlskey. According to the last Louisville
rice Current, the price of raw whiskey in that
ty was thirty, four cents per gallon. The dis
Her was at the same time paying only thirty
'nts per bushel for corn, and using about 400
1shels per diem, which yielded upwards of ,
'oo gallons oil new whiskey, or rather more {
an four gallons of whiskey to the bushel of
I'm. Thus bushel of grain, costing thirty
hts, yielded to the manufacturer upwards of :
ur gallons liquor, which at thirty -four cents
r gallon amounts to the snug sum of 1914 a
r day. The net profit on this days work. c
ter deductIng the cost of labor, material in
rest on money invested, insurance, taxes. &C.,
fully 1854 dollars, or upwards of 81 500 per
eek -. II
A well known citizen of this place, distin- Il
lshed for his enterprise, and two other gen
men are now erecting large distillery at az
hlte Cliffs, Arkansas, and will be able in a III
ort time to supply the Red River country r =,
tn whiskey in any quantity. &C
The Albany Evening Journal said, "South Id
