Shall THE sth OF JANUARY CON.
VENTION BEE POSTPONED!

The Cleveland PlaindeaAcr, of Satur-
day, proposes to postpone the annual sth
January State Convention to the first
Tuesday in june. A variety of reasons
are given;-respite and recreation are
needed by both speakers and editors, af-
ter the excessive labors of the campaign
Just closed-the farewell shrieks of the
present fusion House have not yet been
given, and new issues may be raised

be manufactured by our fusion Legisla.
ture this winter, the Convention, if held
on the 9Th, cannot take advantage Of
all of which are sensible enough aud de-
serve to be considered. The Plain
dealer has another reason, however, that
needs explanation, to say the least.
Here it is.
con the 4th of March JAMES b.

eral policy of the new Administration
will be unveiled. Ohio may not be in
Uited to take part IN the administrator

TO SAY !"

We will not pretend to explain the mean

own opinion. 1t makes but very little
difference to US, and we are satisfied we
speak the sentiments Of the Democracy
of this region, whether Ohio shall fur
nish a Cabinet officer or not, and as to
the policy of the incoming Administra-
tion we have no fears. We stand ready
to support the new Administration an

PRICE OF WooL.-There has been a
steady rise in the price of wool ever
since May, with no prospect of a decline.
This should induce farmers to take good
care of their sheep during the winter.
The woods of Jefferson aud Harrison are
now selling at home for from SIS to 60
cents a pound, and the fine woods OF
Washington County, Pennsylvania, are
held at &c cents. Goodale & Co., Cleve-
land, have furnished US with the follow
ing =" The wool market presents an
upward tendency; our sales amount to
over 200, 900 lbs. within the last three
days, at an average over former prices.
We are anticipating still further advance
between this and February, owing to
the short supply on the market; but not
owing to any ability of the manufactur-
ers to pay higher prices, for it is evil
dent that woods bear much higher rates
in proportion, than wooden goods."-O.

THE JOLLIFICATION LAST EVEN.
ING.

according to previous notice, a large
number of the Democrats of our county
and town, joined in celebrating the cleo
tion of BUCK and BREcK in the old fash
Toned Democratic style, last evening.
TIE Court House was brilliantly illu-
minated, and filled to overlooking with
hard-fsted Democrats. The ladies were
out in force. Isaac GATES acted as
President, JOHN G. MYERS, WIN. s.
STRICKLAND, JOHN SMURR, WIN. BUcH-
ANAN and GEORGE MCCONNELL, were
chosen Vice Presidents, and Dr.. j. P.
CowEN, Secretary. Gen. FULTON, E.
II. SANFORD, Esq, of New London, D..
S. SAMPsEL, T. c. BUSHNELL, [. l..
CRANE and J. D. JONES, severally ad-
dressed the audience. The speakers
were all exceedingly happy in their re-
marks-indeed, we have seldom, if ever,
heard them do as we'll. The audience
were delighted, and felt in the best posi-
ible humor. Our excellent Brass Band
were in attendance, and they also, it
seemed to US, played better than We ev-
er heard them before. Judge GEDDEs
was u~navoidably detained at home, at
the Jubilee in Mansfield. The suppers
served up at the Miller House and Nc
Nulty House were both splendid af-
fairs, and reflect great credit upoa the
enterprising proprietors. Mike" will
please accept our thanks for that Cake.
May his "shadow never grow less.
The Fire Works, although ofhome man
ufacture, were excellent. The "Pro-
fessor" can take the title of the "Great
Pyrotechn:stl" The only accident that
occurred during tho evening was the
accidental bursting of a rocket, from
which Mr.. PETER MARKLE received a
very severe flesh wound in the thigh.
Mr.. MARKLE lost an arm some months
ago in firing q salute in honor of the
election of Gov. WISE, of Virginia. Not
outstanding all his misfortunes, he
sticks to his Democracy. He has our
sympathy. Save this, slight accident,
everything went off as well as we could
have desired. There was little or no
drunkenness, apd every body felt well.
May the sterling Democrats of little
Ashland never have occasion to regret
the handsome vote they gave to the
Usage of Wheatland" and his gallant
associate, and may we all have frequent
occasions for similar reunions and re-
joicings.

AN APOLOGY.

We confess that our friends have had
just cause to complain of the Irregular

but we have really done u best.
Owing to our constant i'll health u bus

retarded. We are laboring constantly
under difficulties that u friends know
nothing of. We have kepta force en-
ployed all the time sufficient to perform
all the labor of the Office, but everything
requires u personal supervision and
We are frequently physically unable to
perform our part. We entreat our
friends to have patience a little longer,
for if the Doctors are to be believed, 1--WE
have consulted some lately that are

AN0THEH DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
I'm ASHLAND

About o'clock this (Thursday) morn
ing, our citizens were aroused from their
Thanksgiving Feveries by the startling
cry Of fire. It was ascertained that the
large frame shop on Saukusky St., occu-
pied by G.. L. YEAR1cK, Cabinet maker,
and Messrs. SLACK & BoNEBR1ehr,
House Carpenters, was on fire. Our
citizens rushed en- nsasse to the rescue,
but before the Engine could be got out
and named, the whole of the upper
part ofthe building was in flames. And
just at this crisis it was ascertained that
the valves of the Engine were frozen up
Ia piece of criminal neglect on the
part of somebody)-and some minutes
elapsed before they could be made to
work. By means of the Engine and the
almost s~uperhuman exertions of our cit
liens, the fire was confined to the large
shop and a smallshop adjoining. Messrs.
SLACK & BoNEBRreHr succeeded in saw
ing the greater portion of their tools and
lumber, but Mr.. YEAR1cK loses almost
everything. The buildings consumed
were owned by Mrs. BULK1EY, and as
there was no insurance are a total loss.
The loss of Messrs. SLACK & BONE
BRIGHT is about $3.50; Mr.. YEAR1cK's
will not be less than $3.50 or S40O. All
three of these gentlemen are men of
limited means, and their loss will fall
heavily upon them. Mr.. YEARIcK, par
ticularly, cannot go on with his business
without assistance, and our citizens
should aid him by liberal contributions.
Mrs. BULKLEY's loss, although heavy
will not be SO severely felt, as she is
said to be in comfortable circumstances
Nothing but the Engine and the ex-
t~raordinary exertions of some of our cit
isens; prevented the fire from spreading.
MI. S%PoNsLER's dwelling made a mirac-
ulous escape. Never did an Engine
work better. The imI ortance a of thor
ough organization of the Fire Depart.
ment can now be fully seen and appre-
eiated byal1. Our Town Council should
also lend their aid if needed. Several
ladies, we must not omit to mention,
turned out and performed wonders, and
finally in a fit of enthusiasm seized the
/" breaks" while several of the would.be
/" lords of creation " stood by with fold.

PROBABLE DEF EAT OF GEN. CASS
FOR THE UNITED STATES SEM
ATE.

The election of a Black Republican
legislature in Michigan, by which event
(says the Pennsylvanian) some %fanatical
member of that party will probably be
elected to the Senate of the United
States in place of the venerable sage and
patriot, General Cass, is one of the most
unpleasant incidents of the canvass
His eminent services to the country,
great abilities, devoted patriotism, and
national reputation, al conspire to rem
der his defeat a source of deep mortihca-
ton to the national men of the country.
Gen. Cass is one of those few remaining
noble Senators who unite with an extern
ded experience of the past, the iDteliec-
tual and physical vigor necessary to fui
" keep pace with all the movements of
the present, and to WELD a commanding
influence in the councils of the nation.
His fame is inseperably connected with
and forms part of the history of the
country. National in all his feelings
and sentiments, no narrow
regulates his political life, and no more
| State or Mason and Dixon's lines form
the boundaries o fhis political affections.
The howl of exulta tion sent forth over
his defeat by such fanatical prints as
the New York Tribune, discreditable
as it IS to these journals, is one of the
proudest tributes that could have been
paid to his character.
No American, proud of his country,
and anxious to secure the perpetuation
Of her Institutions, can fail to regret
the sad spectacle of such men as Cass
stricken down, to give place to some
new Seward, Wade, or Hale, and
an exponent of that sentiment Of nation
ality which alone can preserve unbroken
our confederacy, rulely thrust aside for
one of those bowling demagogues who
reek with treason, wage deadly war up
on the constitution, and who are the
the worst foes of the republic. Centu
ries after such black knights of section
alism, shall sleep in unbroken gloom, il
dishonored graves, either totally forgot
ten by the world or only remembered
like an Arnold, as men who, at oa'
period of our history, threw a darl
gloom over our national destiny, thu
name of Cass will proudly loom UP
in all the majesty of a pure patriotism
as one of the noblest pillars of the repub
lie, and he be immortalized as one Of thu
wisest, greatest, and best of her citizens

ISAAC A. IsAAcs.-Reader, have you
ever visited Cleveland ?-of course you
have. And in making your way from
the Depot of the G. c. & C. Rail Road,
up into tho City, you have doubtless
paused to leisurcly survey the ample di-
mansions of the splendid Clothing Pal
ace of ISAAC A. I~sAAcs, at the corner of
Superior and Union SITS. Those "Gi.
ants" are a terror to all high priced
dealers in Clothing. IsAAcs, as a bust
ness man, has few if any superiors in the
Forest City. His trade is not confined
to Ohio alone-to our certain knowledge
he has his wholesale customers in almost
all the Western States. His retail bust.
ness is also more extensive than any
other House in Cleveland. We com.
mend him to the special favor of our
citizens. See Advertisement.

average of 20.
