For the Holmes County Republican.
The Banner Flag.

In the last number of the Farmer the editor
saws he is authorized to announce that "the La
dies of our town are making a magnificent
flag to present to the township which shall give
the largest gain for the Democratic ticket over
the vote of the last Governors election" This
is another evidence of the low and base means
resorted to by the slavery extensionist, to inn
pose their unprincipled candidates upon the
people-an indirect effort to bribe men to cast
their suffrages for party bankrupt in princi-
pie but rich in corruption. 1t is said that one
of the whisky dealers in this county has been
promised bag of coffee, by Cleveland
Wholesaler, if this county shall give thousand
of majority for the slavery ticket. When
could such rewards be rendered but from par
ty ready to indorse Border Rufianism, and the
extention of Slavery.
The Republican party have neither flags or
coffee to offer for majority of the votes for their
candidates, but they do offer candidates whose
past precedents demonstrate their worthiness
for the support of the people, and indicate
bright and glorious future for the lovers of free
dom and free labor. How long will it be before
We shall again be solicited to patronise Fire
mems supper, to buy uniforms to clothe the De-
mocracy to appear before the people, asking for
the consideration placed upon the Banner Flag.
How hard it is for some men to see when bid
is made for their vote. Better let the Savior
of the party" in 1910, go on with his twaddle
about the Bibles sanctioning slavery. than at
tempt to buy votes with flag or bag of coffee.

Inc Fiain Dealer ON Disunion.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, in its issue
of June 6, ls4s, expressed the. following
sentiments:
at has been well said that many csu
raise storm who cannot ryi. i y Tbo
South will soon find this maxim tr,e In
their own midst are the elements Of = TOM
pest rising, which in time will sweep Slave
ry from the land. 1t viii be no use n
talk about constitutional Compfomise y
Such considerations WILL NOT HAVE
A FEATHERS WEIGHT when it is
understood that these aguaranteesn are to
be quoted in jurisdiction of the extension
and perpetuatiom of Slavery. Let the
South declare this their fixed policy, and
the people will declare, There is no Con-
stitution! There is no league or parch-
ment in this day of revolutions and repub-
lican progressions which can stand on any
such conditions, and we know the Amerii-
can people are ready to discard the Con-
stilutiom and 60 back to the Declaration
of Independence whenever the greatest
good TO the greatest number cannot be at
tanned in any other way"
If these remarks were true in ls49, why
are they not true nowi Will the Plain
Dealer enlighten us?

The Duel at CharIestou.


The comments made by the Charleston
Mercury upon the fall in a duel of one of
its editors, are confined to the following:
at is our duty to announce the death
of William R. Taber, Jr, one of the editors
of this paper, who fell yesterday afternoon,
at the third fire, in duel with Edward
Magrath, Esq, in consequence of the per-
emptory challenge of the latter for the pub
lication of alleged offensive matter in this
paper, the author of which was not called
for. The communications complained of
had reference to the candidacy for Congress
of Hon. A. G. Magrath. It is not now
that we are called upon TO pursue the mer-
its of the question involved. In the pres
ence of death,-the death Of one who has
been intimately associated with US for years,
and who breathed as true heart as ever
beat on the soil of Carolina,-we bow our
heads in sorrow and in suffering, and pass
by all considerations of party conflict, in
the sence that we have lost friend, true
and tried, and brother in the hard duties
that make up our connection with the pub
lie life. 1t will not be easy to find bra
yer and more selfsacri6cing spirit-it will
not be often that the community viii bs

of more brilliant and generous intellect"

That First Gun from Ohio.
The PLAIN Dealer of Wednesday haG
the following grand flourish:
"FIRST GUN FROM OHIO"
s'THE TIDE HAS TURNED. y

."The Democracy are fully aroused and
will 60 on from conquering to conquer
Read the following, and remember that it
is only the pattering drops which precede
the deluge that will sweep faction, disunion
and treason to the gulf of oblivion"
"An election of the Justice of the Peace,
warmly contested upon political grounds,
lately came off in Miami township Perry
county, Ohio. 1t resulted in the success
of Hardin, Democrat, by sixteen majority.
Last fall Chase beat Medll fifty votes in
the same township. Democratic gain six
ty-four."
The Sandusky Register says:
awe confess that our curiosity was
aroused and we determined to find the geo
graphical location of the township which
could perform such wonders: but upon con-
sulting Thayer's new township map of
Ohio, we could not find any such township
as Miami in Perry county. Thinking that
the map was more likely to be in error
than the veracious PLAIN Dealer, we next
consulted Hayward's United States Gazet-
teer, which on page 754 gives list of the
townships in Perry county, but Miami was
not among them. Determined not to give
it up so, we had recourse to "Lippeneotts
Universal Gazetteer" which on page 1888,
gives from fifteen to twenty Miami town
ships, counties, DC, in Ohio and other
States, but the lost Pleiad, the Miami of
Perry county could not be found.
Now, as we said before, we hate to spoil
a story so well told; but we must conclude
that the PLAIN Dealer has been imposed
upon by some reckless romancer. Ofcovse
it would not have made it out of whole
cloth! But whether this be so or not,
would it not be as well for our neighbor to
give his next Democratic victory location

This question of the precise locality of
Democratic victories is becoming about as
difficult to answer as "where is Utopia ?"
