THE Hoo MARKET.-Our country read

were made at figures which cannot now be
obtained. The heavy stocks Of old pro-

markets, which have been so much over
stocked that purchases made here, by the
French Government last fall for the use ol
her army have been actually returned to
find a market in this country have thrown
damper on prices. Last year the mar

this year they are overstocked. Competi-

How RELIGIOUS MEN REGARD THE De-
FEAT OF FREMoNT.-His ways are not our
ways! There appears to be no reasonable
doubt that fraud and ruffianism have been
permitted to accomplish their work, and
incline the wavering scale of the election
toward the party Of oppression. Our sor-
row is unfeigned, and our grief is all the
deeper from the fact that our stake in the
conflict, and our interestin it, was not po-
litical, but moral. We have struggled and
prayed, not for honor or Office, but for what
seemed to US the cause of God and right.
Hence defeat stuns us, as if the Ten
Commandments had been smitten down,
and God and Humanity voted out of the
land. We know that God rules still, but
God ruled when Nero sat on the imperial
throne, and Robespierre deluged the streets
of Paris with huma ngore, And the fact
that he is still on the throne of the Uni
verse-while it makes sure that, somehow,
all things will work together for good--yet
furnishes no security that our glorious flag
is not now to be rent asunder, and that the
days of our republic are not numbered.
Wepray that the future may not verify
our forebodings, But we do not clearly
see how this confederacy Of States can be
expected to outlast the rule of that oligar-
chy which appears to have gained the day
We greatly fear that the sun which rises
on the day Of the next Presidency, will
shine on ''the broken and dishonored frag-
ments of once glorious Union; on States
discovered, discordant, belligerent; on q
land rent with civil feuds, OF deluged, il
may be, in fraternal blood!'
In any event, it is deeply humiliating tc
feel that our land has so soon gone down Il
the depth of helpless infamy, that the hon
est preference Of her legitimate yoteps7can
not elect her chief magistrate-but tha
fraud and violence elect her rulers. W.
have not one particle of doubt that John @
Fremont would have been sure Of the elec
ton if legal votes only had been counted
But the people have been cheated out o
their choice by the omnipresent, audacioul
and unscrupulous knavely of the slave pow
er. The result we must wait for in grie
and with such submission as God shal
give, such action as he shall prompt

The BANK BILI.-The Wyandot Pio-

that are not palatable to the people, they

the remedy in their own hands,

SLAVE LABOR ON RAILRoADs.--Free la
Dor in the construction Of railways at the
far South has been entirely abandoned, il
being found that the Irish and Germans
are willing enough to work in winter, but
nothing will induce them to remain during
the hot weather.
Slave labor has been therefore univer.
sally adopted, and large droyes Of negroes
are raised and kept expressly for that pur'
pose. The current rates for the hire o.
able-bodied railway negroes is $l5 pei
month and their food, when hired b7 tn,
month. If hired by the year they bring
$175 per annum and food and clothing

vantageous to the railway contractor.

died, at his residence in Georgetown,
Brown county, O., on the 18th instant, Of
Consumption. For some months previous
to his death, he was editor Of the Brown
County Democrat.
During our short acquaintance with the
Major, we observed beneath his rough ex-
terror, many admirable qualities Of heart
and mind. He was eccentric, and, like
other men, had his faults. But these, we
imagine, were errors of the head rather
than the heart. His worst side was always
exposed to the world To appreciate his
real worth, you must have known him in

RE-OPENING OF THE SLAVE TRADE.--
In another column may be found short
telegraphic item, relative to the meeting
of the South Carolina legislature. 1t is
very unpretending little item, and may
easily be passed over without notice. Yet
it is significant, and entitled to grave con-
sideration in these Locofoco, slavery-ex-
tension times. We commend it to the
careful and prayerful consideration Of all
those who profess to be Freesoil Demo
Gratis. 1t is therein stated that the Cover
nor, in his annual message, recommends
the reuipdl of tile Slave Trade, which is
now regarded as piracy by all the civilized
world, except the Slave Democracy Of the
United States. This is to be the mex
card played. What follows? Read ant
see, "He (the Governor of South Caro-,
lina) thinks that EVERY BRANCH OF
LABOR SHOULD BE in the hands o
SLAVES"
What do you think Of that, you Of th'
German accent" and you of "the ricl
Irish brogue, ,"-ye who till the soil, O.
mine the coal, or manufacture the salt o
iron--"ALL LABOR" says this model o
Democracy, "should be in the hands O
SLAVES" or, in other words, every la
boring man should be slave.
For our own part, we have long regarde'
this as the true aim and end of all slavery
ptopagandists-to make slaves of all VIII
labor. II will not, however, be the worl

THEORY OF DISEASE.
AND rTs sIMpLr MpTuoD on cuRr,


1t is not our object at this time, to 90
into d detailed explanation Of Professor
Holloway's theory Of disease, but simply
to inform the American people that one Of
the most remarkable men of this or any
former age is among them, and that his
medicines have a celebrity unprecedented
in the annals of the world. There is no
charlatanry in his pretensions. Unless all
the civilized world are deceived, Hollo-
ways Pills and Ointment will drive dis
ease from the human system, under the
most unfavorable circumstances, and in
all climes. Other men have sprang into
an ephemeral notoriety by advertising
their remedies. Like butterflies of the
day they have buzzed for awhile and then
expired; both their names and their medi-
cines have sunk into an obscurity from
which they never emerged. Others have
met with limited success, perhaps as
much as they deserved. No man, though
he may have the wealth of Cresus, can
long deceive an intelligent people with a
worthless remedy for disease. If health
follows the administration of remedy fol-
disease, almost without an exception, tho
1t is prescribed in a million of instances,
and in all forms of disease, all the doctors
on the globe could not make the people be-
lieve that it was not good remedy, or that
the inventor was not public benefactor,
and no empiric or ckarlatan. Professor
Holloway's remedies occupy this position
before the citizens Of the world. The in
ventor is man Of large powers of mind,
who has seen disease in all its forms, and
in all the climates Of the world. His med
ical Office in London was daily thronged
with patients to such an extent that a po.
lice force was necessary to be stationed al
his door. But an Office practice afforded
too narrow field for the exercise of his
expansive intellect, and he determined tc
be the worlds physician. All countries
have had their celebrated physicians: En-
gland has had an Abernethy; France {
Magendie, and America Rush; but thes,
mems ambition only extended to practice
confined to narrow circle of friends ant
admirers, or the superintendency of amed
ical hospital. Professor Holloway hal
chosen the globe as theatre for his prac
tice, and though now a resident of Re
publican America he is prescribing dali,
for hundreds of thousands on the fouI
quarters Of the globe.
His medicines are expressly designed t
act on the organs whose functions are 81
essential to health. They operate on tn
stomach, liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin
restore their deranged functions or uses
and thus purify and cleanse the blood, tn
very fountains Of life.-Msw York Sunda.

ETThe crowned heads of Europe are
beginning to understand the universal and
mighty force Of the paragraphs of correspon-
dents of journals Of large circulation. The
Emperor Of Russia, being made aware Of
the presence in Moscow during the cere-
monies attendant upon his coronation, Of
several brilliant writers connected with the
London papers, was at pains to have ex-
celent facilities for witnessing the splendid
scenes to be described, provided for them.
They were indeed treated with "distingui-
shed consideration" And well they might
have been, for their writings have brought
the gorgeous pageantry of the occasion
vividly before the eye Of all the civilized
world, The impression produced by AL
exander upon his capitol has been repro
duced wherever newspaper is read, by
those special correspondents, magnifcence
of whose agency seemed to have dawned
upon the Emperor. The pen of William
RUSSELL the correspondent of the Times,
has shed million times more luster over
the oeremonials Of the Gar, on which gold
unmeasured was lavished to crafty pride,
than did the costly and glittering equipa.

OFFICIAL VoTE OF OHIo.-In another

Official Abstract of votes polled at the late
Presidential election in Ohio. 1t will be
of service to politicians in estimating fu-
ture results, and those who have bets de-
pending, can now determine who is loser.
VIM. I. Coggshall, State Librarian, has
furnished the Cincinnati Commercial with
a few of the curiosities exhibited by the
official count, few Of which items we
subjoin, forthe amusement Of our readers:
: The Gerret Smith vote was highest in
Portage county, and there the Fillmore
vote was lowest.
In Harrison township, Paulding county,
every vote cast was for the Fremont cleo
tors, and in Sunfsh township, Pike county,
all the votes were for the Buchanan elec-
tors. In Jackson township, Van Vert
county, there were only 6 voters-5 Dem
ocrats, l Republican. The vote of Enoch
township, Noble county, was rejected, be-
cause it appeared from the returns that the
votes were cast for James Buchanan and
John G. Fremont, and not for the Presi-
dental electors. The Republican ticket
was scarcely ever scratched. but the Dem
ocratic often, and in almost every county
some one of the Fillmore electors fell be-
low the rest of the ticket. In several
townships in Medina county, and in one
or two other counties, "William Kenton, %
instead of "Wm. Kennon, Jr.," was voted
for as Senatorial Elector. In Warren,
Trumbull county, three votes were cast
for an old line Wing ticket, with Thomas
Ewing at the head. In Worthington tp.,
Morrow county, two votes were given fol
an anti-savery ticket, with Anson Price
Jacob Heaton, and other liberal Quakeri
it. In Ottawa county, Cyrus Moore
voted peculiar ticket. His Electors were
named only William, James, John, Eli
Thomas, George, David, &C., and the fol
lowing words were inserted in place of th'
surnames; II am for opposition to slavery
in all places, at all times, and am the nat
ural enemy of the Constitution--as
should be continued according to the Dec
laration of Independence, which places al
men on political equality and declares al
men endowed with the right to Life, Lib
erty, and the pursuit of Happiness" TIL
fellow was evidently crazy, and therefor
not entitled to vote.
