A Chance.
WELL Sam, for whom viii you vote for the presdsncyR
For Fillmore
Why my dear sir, do you not know that Mr. Fillmore
stands no chance of an election by the peopleH
Yes know that; but have concluded to follow the
leaders Of order and they say defeat the cleo
ton of Buchanan by the people, then Fremont will stand
the best chance; So with proper management we may
gain victory Buchanan anyhow, and that is what
we go in for chata, Advertiser.
The PUREIcATioSThe revival of the rites and
ceremonies Of the Mosaic law by the knownohngs not
the least curious fact in the curious history of that funny
party The last ceremony have had performed by them
has been that Of publication They have been purifying
themselVes-Heaven knows they needed It'll First the
tiona know-nothings-stop laughing If you please-di-
yided into two, northern and southern order two
tona parties at oncehat is say automatically twice
two makes one, or half of unit is two unitsus
you please That was the day Of publication Then the
northern national knownothngs met and purified the
Fillmore men then the Fillmore met and purified
out the George Law then the Stockton met and
purified out the Fillmore and the George Law men
both and then the Fremont and purified out the
whole OF them except the sraee without guile who rode
wooy horse over the tops of the highest mountains for
forty days and fifty nights playing upon harp of thou
sand strings and assisted by the spirits of Just made
perfect in the study Of the constitution and laws of the
United States which he mraculousy discovered in

four thousand Navajo Bullgines and grizzly Bar. Who
darss say that the know-nohing party isn't purified into
pure black repubcanism and that John Fremont WASH
taught the constitution and the rule of three

a harp Of thousand strinRs2 Whars the infde-show

days of their publication ended behold Satan came
looking for them but the bats and the owls had picked

Total. .........

This statement includes only few Of the leading occu
pations Immediately connected with building and sailing
ships, and the transportation Of freights,
Thus far the reader has traced the history OF the connex
ton Of with the government and observed that
the magnitude of the interest involved led TO the formation
Of the constitution and Union under which live and
that this interest is entirely dependent upon that consttu
ton and that Union for Its very existence and also for Its
unprecedented prosperity shown facts and figures al
ready given II would 70 be unnecessary To add any
thing to impress upon people the value Of the
Union TO commerce and the value Of commerce to the
Union.
We have that commerce and navigation are vaua-
BILE TO the entire conederacy They valuable TO the
South but particularly valuable to the North The CAPT.
tai invested and the number Of citizens employed from the
North very great without going into particulars
II is sufficient to that than fvesixhs Of the
American tonnage is owned by citizens Of the nonssve-
holding States. The amount bull for the year ending
June 30 1885, is put down at 5s3450 TONS upwards Of
500 600 tons Of which built in the nonsaveholding
States In view OF these facts IL Is very apparent that
with reference TO this enterprise to say nothing Of
Others the North has immense stake In the perpetuy
OF the Union. Northern not only have interest in
the perpetuity Of the Union Of protection TO
their ships but the only security for such eigh
indispensable TO their profitable employment Every think
ing who Is Immediately remotely interested In the
business under discussion earnestly invited look into
this subject
The following statement has been taken from the reports
Of commerce and navigation for the year ending June 30

NOMINATION FOR CONGRESS IN THE TWELFTH
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, ONO.

We have already that the democracy of the
twelfth congressional district In the State Of Ohio have
placed in nomination their candidate for representative
in the Thirtyfh Congress Samuel s. Cox esq, of Co
lumbus and congratulated the democracy upon the aug
picious nomination
Mr. Cox is gentleman of fine talents and requirements
and il claimed by his friends that the October
win result in his election whoever may be his competitor
The district represented in the last Congress by Hon
E. B. Olds, and is represented by Hon. Samuel Gal
loway.
The Ohio Statesman speaks in the highest terms of Mr.
Cox as staunch and radical Union democrat orator
politician and gentleman of exalted private character
He was nominated with great unanmiy over prominent
and popular competitor receiving sixyfve of the eighty
six votes cast In the nominating convention which was
held at Columbus on the 9th instant.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Cox acquired national
reputation the author OF series of lively historical and
political letters written whilst he making rapid
tour in Europe and which first published in the Ohio
Statesman. In 1852 he became principal editor and pro-
prietor of the Statesman which has for long period
been the organ of the democratic party in Ohio In this
position he established solid reputation for ability and
research in the discussion political questions. President
Pierce appointed him secretary of the United States lega
tionat Lima but his health failing while his way
thither he compelled to return TO his native State
The ivelies enthusiasm has been awakened among the
democracy of the 18th district which bids fair to bear their
nominee into tho legislative halls of the nation He will
conduct active canvass and learn from those who
know him and have heard him repeatedly that he very
able and interesting political speaker handling the gravest
topics with appropriate weight of and dignity Of
eloquenc calling his aid in minor branches of his dis
customs lively anecdotes chastened wit and keen sar-
casm, and identifying all with rich imagination and
varied historical and classical illusions.
