The Democrat and Stephen Arnold
Douglas.

The sweet temper of the Democrat was
somewhat irritated by our remarks upon
its f%ayorite deity. in our paper Of tie
Esd of last month. 1t seemed TO think
ne had committed the objectionable sin,
because like it, we did not fall down and
worship the lille giant.
This Douglas is the same man who
boosted in the Senate that he could look
down into pistol barrels, ~insinuating
that he was ready to fight. Douglas
has slandered Col. Lane, quarrclled with
him, and nov when Col. Lane publishes
his scathing letter, charging Douglas
with falsehood and cowardice, the lille
giant retreats behind his privilege, and
refuses to fight. Col. Lane is a Demo
crat, and was one of bravest soldiers in
the Mexican War, and his crime is, that
be is in favor Of freedom in Kansas
Douglas knows his man, and prefers
waging a war Of words.
We are no advocate of dueiling. Far
from it, but il is amusing nevertheless,
to see lille great men backing out.

Ashtabula & New Lisbon Rail Road

hSHLdDuld q NEW LlsDOu NAH h0aQ
We learn from the Buckeye State,
that a meeting of the Directors of the
A. d n. L. Road was held at New Lis
bon on the 25th ult. The attendance
was full, the meeting enthusiastic, and
it was determined to call in an installment
of 10 per cent on the stock, and put the
road under contract at once. The bal
ance of the road is to be located imme-
diately, and advertised for letting; SO
that work can be commenced on the
whole line by the middle of June.
The Directors, personally, took a view
of the iron and coal localities in the neigh
borhood of New Lisbon, and were high
ly grali6ed by the prospects Of the bust
ness which those mines will furnish to
their road.
In the evening. Hon. E. Newton, Pres.
ident Of the A. & n. L. Road, addressed
a large meeting, and was listened TO with
the utmost attention. He demonstrated
to the satisfaction of his audience the
road would not only be built that it
would add greatly 10 the wealth and
convenience of the towns through which
it passed, but that the road itself would
be a paying institution.
Success to tie A. & n. L. Road.

Garfield Sentinel.

This paper has come out with a new
head, which improves it decidedly
The whole typographical appearance is
excellent. We are afraid friend Webb
has joined the Know Nothings. Those
stripes and stars look very Americanisk.
Some editor once remarking that he
should get a new head for his paper
one of his readers said that he had bet
ter get a new head for the editor. But,
we have no intention of applying that
remark to brother Webb. He publishes
a very good country paper, and is a
right good fellow. We wish him sue
cess, in every thing save his politics.
