The DISTANCE OF THE Sun FROM THE
EARTH INCREAsING.-The German Jour-
nails have given some, tables which prove
that the distance between the earth and
the sun is increasing annually by one
theusandth part of tina. t.distance, and ar
que from it that the increasing humidity
of our summers and the loss of fertility by
the earth, are to be attributed solely to
this circumstance.
In the course Of six thousand years
from the present time, they assume that
the distance will be SO great that only an
eighth part of the warmth we now enjoy
from the sun will be communicated to the
earth, and it will then be covered with
eternal ice in the ssme manner as we now
see the plains o the north, where the ele-
phant formerly lived, and have neither
spring nor autumn.
No credit has heretofore been given to
a tradition Of the ancient Egyptians and
Chinese, according to which these people
formerly saw the suns disc almost four
times as large as We now see it /; for they
estimated the apparent diameter of the sun
as double Of what it is seen in our day
If, however, we pay attention to the con-
tinued diminution of the apparent dame
Of the sun according to observations ofsev-
eral centuries, We must suppose that the
ancients were not mistaken in the esti-
mates they have transmitted to us.

re-nominated. In the meantime his
dishonesty has been discovered by many
Democrats, and they refuse to support
him at the election. He sees that the
tide is running against him and gets des-
perate, just as he is now. Nothing but
some base trick will save him from de-
feat. He resorts to it;-sends off and
gets tickets printed with the names of
the opposition the same as their other
tickets, except that his own is inserted
instead of that of his opponent, j. w.
McCoMBs, Esq, and by this mean de-
ceives enough men to r~e-elect him. Can
a man be respectable, can a man be hon.
est or honorable, who is guilty of such
deception and fraud :? and this is the
man who deals out personal abuse
against me-this is the man who says
the Democratic party has left him.
With regard to his charges upon me
in last weeks Times, I have only this
to say. He is mistaken as to who "Pep-
per" is. Not one of the charges has the
shadow of a foundation. 1 am not ga

OLD VERTELEEON RIGHT SHE

A large and enthusiastic meeting of
the Democracy of Vcrmillion township
was held in Hayesville, on Tuesday the
9th inst. Two splendid Hickory poles
were raised by the old Democracy, and
a magnificent flag suspended between
them. Eloquent addresses were then
delivered by Messrs. FULroN and KEN
Ny, to an audience of not less than FIVE
hundred men, who frequently interrupt
ed the speaking with loud applause. In
the evening, two moro beautiful poles
were raised by the young Democracy.
They are too intelligent and patriotic to
be led by the false cries and notices of
the opposition, got up for the purpose of
leading young men astray. Vermillion
will do her duty in the coming election.
The meeting closed with three tremen-
dous cheers for Buck and BREcK, the
flags, the Hickory poles, the speakers
and the Democracy generally.

creek will form at 10 o'clock, with the
other Northern Delegations on North
Street, Ashland. 1t is expected that
each Committee will solicit from their
respective delegations, as soon as form
ed, funds for the purpose of d~efraying
the expenses of the meeting, which is ex-
pected to be too large for a small num-
Der of the Democracy to pay, but if
properly divided, will require but a small
amount from each. 1t is also expected
that each Township will be SO formed
that the contest for theaSilk Flag may
be properly decided. The flag is to be
presented by Montgomery Township,
and therefore it is excluded from the
contest.
We do hope that every effort will be
made to ensure the largest meeting ev-
er held in the County. This is impor-
tant, for the reason that the Republi-
can party have called in the aid of 9TH
er Counties for the purpose of swelling
their crowd at their meeting, but we
have 10 doubt if every Democrat will
do his duty we can beat them by thou

GLORIOUS GATHERING OF DEM
OCEEATS AT ORANGE.

Five hundred Democrats assembled in
the Village of Orange, on Saturday,
September 18th, upon which occasion
two Splendid Hickory Poles were rails
ed. One by Young America, which
when raised and a National Flag run to
the top the crowd was addressed by
young Mr.. ROBERT CAMPBELL, in a man.
ncr not only highly gratifying to his
friends, but truly terrifying to Black
Republicanism. After some little de-
lay, occasioned by the accidental break
ing Of the splice, the other Hickory
went up, the top of which almost tower
cd to the clouds, accompanied by the
shouts of the Democracy. A la~ge pro
cession Of ladies were then seen advan.
cling, bearing a splendid flag having in.
scribed thereon the of our noble
Standard bearers, BUCHANAN and BREcK.

The flag was presented in a t uly clio.
quent speech by j.. BIsHoP, in behalf Of

by DR.. SHERIDAN, in behalf of the Or.
ang Club, in his usual eloquent style
and amid deafning applause it was run

called to order by the President, GEO.

By I. j. KENNY, in his usual able man
ncr, and a few remarks were made by
j. ID. JONES. notwithstanding the
l~ateness Of the hour-it being almost
dark-the Enthusiasm Of the Democra-
cy was such that nearly all renal ed an

done b. giving three long and loud

himself and effect some of the simple
portion of his tender-hearted audience,
but didn't succeed, (the reason, no mig
ger in the story,) though he appealed
to their %sympathies imploringly and hit
his nasal organ a well-timed blow and
started the crockodile water in his eyes,
(which were red with weeping on SINH
lar occasions of excitement, or aggrava-
ted by the sudden change from good to
bad brandy,) but found his audience
had heard B1LLY's kind of oratory be-
fore, so he applied his pocket-handker-
chief to his unfortunate nasal protuber-
ance, rubbed his angry eyes and began
again by accusing the President of du-
plicity and a great many other bad
crimes, in order to excuse his " con
duct and the course of the Republican
Members of Congress for running off
and not passing the Appropriation bill,
and crawfshing back and passing it at
last. In conclusion, he ARA gned the
President for trial. Charged him with
violating his oath-with bringing on all
the disorders, troubles and o%utrages
which has occurred, is occurring an will
occur in different parts Of the United
States, South America and amongst the
" rest of mankind that it was the
President that had caused all these dis
turhances in Kansas-that he could
stop them if he would-that BUCHANAN
would do just the same way. He be-
sought them to vote for FREMONT, for
he wouldn't go home to JESSIE after he
took the oath of office, until peace would
reign in Kansas. He would wage a war
of determination and humiliation against
everybody in Kansas but Free State
men, and conquer a peace before night.
And, further, he said not, but prepared
to leave, and the crowd commenced leav-
ing, and somebody thought oft and said
let's cheer, and they cheered. Thus en-
ded this awful occasion. SIC transit
