~The DOGS"

In the districts represented by Disney,
Olds, Green and Shannon, who voted for
the Nebraska Bill, and who were charac-
terized as "D-O-G-S" for so doing, the
Dem0cracy have elected their Congress
men. In these districts the principle of
the hill has been thoroughly discussed,
and the "sober second thought" of the
people has been expressed in approval of
the great measure which declares their
capacity to regulate their own affairs.
7s6in Adve. tiser
The facts alluded to by the Advertiser
is most significant, and conveys useful
lesson to politicians. Had more Demo
Gratis from Ohio voted for the Nebraska
Bill, the State would have been in a bet
ter condition, politically, than she is now.
The Democratic party is never injured by
its members courageously adhering to
their principles, however great may be
the clamor against them. Of this the
recent elections in the First Ninth, Twelfth
and Seventeenth Districts afford another
striking illustration. GIN. Enquirer

The Teachers Institute.

The above named institute closed, ON
last Friday, in this place, the most sue
eessful session ever held in the county. A
larger number Of teachers were present
than at any previous session, most ofwhom
remained during the entire two weeks
Of course it is hardly necessary for us to
say that the teachers who attend this as
sociation are the most enterpfising and
generally the best qualified in the county.
The session was well attended through
out by citizens of this place who felt an
interest in the proceedings and desired to
encourage by their presence so beneficial
an institution. We have not time or space
to dwell upon details; suffice it to say that
all who attended it-spectators as well as
members-were highly grati6ed by the
manner in which it was conducted.
The Association IL no longer an exper-
iment, it is now fixed fact. The next
session will be duly announced, and those
teachers who can attend it and do not, to
say the very least. will not display very
commendable spirit of enterprise.

We Intend to discontinue the papers of
those of our. campaign subscribers who
have paid their subscription, as soon as
.theirtime expires, unless notified to the con-
tfary. We trust that those ofour friends
who were instrumental in obtaining cam
paign subscribers will ascertain how many
Of them wish their papers continued and
and inform us as soon as practicable.
Congress will soon be in session again,
and our State Legislature will soou be in
session. Weintend to keep our readers
as well posted in the movements of these
two bodies as our facilities will per-
nit. :
Our utmost energies shall be exerted
to make the Spirit more instructive aud
more entertaining than heretofore, and we
hope 70 merit as well as receive an in
crease of patronage.

Mr.. Valland1gham Contests the elec-
ton of Lewis D. Campbell.

The Dayton Empire Of yesterday con-
tanned formal notice from Mr. Vallan-
digham to Lewis L. Campbell. apprising
him of his intention to contest his seat in
the next Congress. Mr.. Vallandigham
makes nineteen points of contest, the
most important of which is are follows:
"15. That sundry persons, not white
male citizens of the United States were
permitted to vote for you,
"16 That Alfred j. Anderson, John
M. Mitchell. James Robins, Reuben Red
man, Thomas Tester, John D Robbins,
Alexander Proctor, Cyrus Fl. Cowan,
Robert Goings, w. Griffith, and twenty
two other mulattoes, and persons of color,
not qualified electors under the constitu-
tion and laws of Ohio, were permitted to
vote for you"
The chances appear decidedly favorable
to Mr. Vallandigham obtaining the seat,
as Campbell has but nineteen majority on
the face of the returns.

the End of the Campaign, i,

Tae Presidential battle is fought, but
Is our paper is issued on the day of the
election, we cannot announce who has
gainedothe victory We engaged in the
contest, believing that we were on the
side ofjustice, ofright and ofour country;
and belieyeing that the success of the op-
position was fraught with fearful conse-
quences tp the Union IF any raised the
cry OF disunion to create panic merely
for party purposes we were not of them.
It is true that wolff wolff has been cried
when there was no wolf; but as the wolf;
in sthe fable at last did come, so, as we
believe, had the time come when the cry
OF s'disunion" was no false alarm.
But We trust the result of the 4th Of
November, has relieved US from the neces-
sity Of calculating the chances for the
Union of the States, and from the more
-nnpleasant task of contemplating the fear
full consequences Of their separation. We
feel confident that Buchanan is elected.
and that quiet and harmony viii soon be
restored, aud the peace of our country es-
stablished on foundation not soon to be
shaken.
Whatever we may have done in the
.campsign, was with firmly settled con-
yiction that we were in the right, and
were doing nothing more than our duty
to our country. We donot feel conscious
sofhsNing dealt too harshly with what we
conceived to be the errors ofthe opposition,
but five have weregret it. And if on the
other hand, we failed in doing our whole
duty it was only for want of ability to
do it
But now the campaign is over and the
thoughts Of the people will be turned to
some extent into different channels. II
therefore becomes our more pleasant duty
to make the Spirit, as far as possible, a
PAPER for the family circle more than fol
the politician.
During thelast two years our list ofsub.
scribers, aside from campaign subscribers
assincreased over four hundred, which VIC
are willing 10 believe, is some evidence o.
public approval. The Spirits circulation
is now much larger than that of most
country papers, aad we intend, if it is in
our power to make it still more deserving
of public patronage.

ScandaI-PeddIing,

A writer in the last Journal, in giving
what he calls an account of the pole rails
ing here, deserves the everlasting graft
tude of the people of this neighborhood
Not for his two columns and half of
falsehoods about the pole raising, which
is SO handsomely replied to by cores
pondent; but for going out of his way SO
far to publish little homemade scandal
about our young ladies. He says:
"The day was fixed and such was the
haste of some of the ladies in the coun-
try to be present that they worked indus
triously all day on Sunday, making the
white dresses to be worn on the occa-
sion."
II there is any one class of persons to
whom society is more indebted than an
other for its peace and comfort, it must
be to scandal -mongers. All the little
peecadiloes of the neighborhood, with
every trihing family jar, that can be fer
reted out are by these persons tattled
about for general discussion and COM
ment. BY this means people are enabled
to conform their conduct to public opin-
ion. If one neighbor thoughtlessly makes
a remark not very aattcring of another,
these persons out of pure friendship, con-
ivey it to the injured person, and he
thus ascertains what his neighbors think
of him. Half dozen of these useful
and well-meaning persons can soon make
a paradise of any neighborhood. How
perfectly lovely and angelic such yoca-
ton makes lady! What ornaments to
their sex and to societyl But man--one
of the "lords of creation"-who engages
in tattling, certainly stands pre-eminen,
above all his race. There is something
so noble and grand in manufacturing pet.
ty scandal and peddling it around among
neighbors, or publishing it in some news.
paper unscrupulous enough to admit it.
When the victims happen to be young
ladies, then it becomes gallant, chivalric
and challenges our highest admiration.
just imagine you see this self-sacrifcing
individual standing under a window lis.
tening to family circle conversations, OIL
hid in some closet to overhear the gossip
of old ladies at a tea-table. Or think ol
him industriously inquiring among per-
sons of his own laudable occupation, in
order to find out something to interest his
neighbors with, by telling it to them OIL
publishing it in paper.
We trust the ladies will not suffer thi:
gossipping, tattling, scandal-monger te
go unrewarded A professed gentleman
who employs his time and talents in man
ufacturing and peddling little pitiful tales
about young ladies certainly needs some
encouragement. Ladies, do something
for him.
