Ohio ian "a MISs!---RepzaEs EslicGi nisl1s
EsaREeDlnt

! Ohio has been eighteen months under Repub-
lican rule, and she is now the ridiculous laugh
| ing stock of the whole Republic. The effort Of
Chase and his republican allies to raise the ne-
gro up to an eqaity with the white man, has
only resulted in bringing the white man down
to the black republican level, SO far as screech-
ing and legslating could do it. , .H Il
The great concern our State authorities have
about bleeding Kansas and matters in Momnon-
dom, has forced them to very much neglect the
interests OF the white race at home, and our
State affairs have be. ONE about as badly mixed
as these republicans would have the races, could
they emancpate and amalgamate according to
their liking.
We take the following two extracts from d
fusion Journal published at the Capitol M &

love to look upon young man. There is a
q hidden potency concealed within his breast
which charms and pains me. | silently ask
what will that youth accomplish in after life ?
VIII he take rank with the benetactors or scour-
gers of his race? viii he exhibit the patriotic
virtues Of llampden and Washington, or the sell
sh cratlneSS OF Benedict Arnold? If he have
genius will he consecrate it, like Milton and
Montgomery, to humanity and religion, or like
Moore or byron, to the polluted altars of pas
sion? the have Mercantile skill, will he EN-
ploy it like Astor to crafty his lust for wealth,
orto elevate and bless humanity, like, some Of
our merchant princes? 1.-THE gift of eloquencc
be hidden IN his undeyeloped soul will he use it
like Summertie.d, in favor Of religion, or like
Patrick Henry or Adams in battling for human
rights; or will he for Nammon's sake prostitute
the use of that gift to the use of tyranny and in
fidelity? Will that immortal SOUL which beams
with intelligence and power in his coun-
tenance, ally itself with its Creator and
thus rise to the sublime height of destiny;
or will it wage war with truth and duty. and
thussink to degradation and death? As Iise
these great queries, at once do reverence to
the high potentiality Of his nature and tlelnble
for his iatc. DANIEL WISE.
Young men, how will our lives answer these
important inquiries? We must live for some
purpose, and what shall be that object? In our
lives and actions are centefed the hopes of all
our friends, and relatives Our parents are
waiting with anxious hearts and fearful forbod-
inss, TO see what characters we will form
Shall we disappoint the fond expectation of that
dear father and mother, who have toied all
their lives that they might give us the benefit
OF good education, and the comforts of a happy
home? Will we, after all their anxiety. dis
grace them and our brothers and sisters, by
lives of ignorance, Incidence, dissipation and
vice. Surely not! We have everything TO en-
courage us in ian honest ambition to become the
PRIDE Of our parents, ain honor to our country and
a blessing to our race. 1t is our right, privilege
and duty, to aspire to places of usefulness and
influence 1t is true, some of us are poor, and
must bear the reproaches often hurled at the
sons OF poverty, but let this only increase our
ambition, for remember we live in that free coun-
try where the "mill boy Of the slashes," arose 10
eminence and power where the wagon boy OF
the West" has become the greatest orator OF
his age, where his true merit is acknowledged,
appreciated and rewarded. We are citizens ol
the happiest country in the world, the great
West presents the finest field COR noble, philan-
thIopic action, and while drop Of patriotic
blood iscoursing through our veins, We surely
cannot consent to ruin our health, and disgrace
our country, by indecent, ignorant vicious, or
incorporate lives.

Mister Printer, can you tell us, ...
ii Tell US something in your paper,
In your ''Border Ruffiann paper,
Your old fashioned Loco paper,
Where are all the freedom shriekersl
~ Those who shrieked so, last November,
Shrieked for Freedom and Fremont
Shrioked 80 loud for Northern vengeance;
On the heads of Fierce and Douglas,
On our Democtaqc brethren,
North and South who would not vote for
The great lord of Mariposa,
And the perured traitor Bissell9
Where are all the correspondents,
Of the old drab coated Greeley2
They who penned such tales of horror;
Tales of rapine, rape and murder
Tales which make the life blood curdle
IN the souls Of those who believ ed thenl
What's become of bleeding Kansasl'
Where the bleeding bones of Martyrsl
Martyrs sent by Parson Beecher
Armed with pistols and Shurpes Rifles,
Sent to kill the Border Rutfians
Sent 10 stir up strife and discord
Gainst the laws and Constitution
Where are now the chains and fetters,
And great balls that were to Inish,
i All who dared to speak of Freedom
On the virgin soil Of Kansas!
Where is the notorious Beecher7
Where's i'm Lane, the dough herol
Where's the money, where's the money
/, Coax'd by falsehood, from the pockets
OF the poor deluded people.
Who were moved BY tale fictitious,
Tales Of suffering and privation;
Told by selfish base imposters
Thus to part with boarded treasure,
Hoping to assist the needy9
All is vanished! Peace and quiet,
Reign Supreme, Where all was discord
Few who vent their Gu reed hatred,
On the heads of Pierce and old Buck;
Though Fremont has been defeated,
And the SAGE Of Wheatland chosen.
Then loud let's sound the clarion!
Proud on high our banners waving
Democrats will shield the Union,
And our glorious Constitution,
From the TRAITORS touch FOREVER.

have been quietly falling in your path through
every period OF your history. Down theycon

sengers from the Father of light, to tell you OF
your best friend in Heaven, Have you lived
these years, wasting mercies, treading them be-
meath your feet. and consuming every day, and
never yet realizing from whence they came?--
If you have, Heaven pity you.
You have murmured under afflicton; but
who has heard you rejoice over blessings? DO
you ask what are these mercies? Ask the sun

SPANISH AND MEXICAN AGENTS AMONG U.s.
number Of Spanish agents, who are actively en-
gagged in raising provisions and munitions of
war for shipment to Cuba, in view of the antici.
pated hostilities between Spain and Mexico, and
to provide against the threatened descent of a
Mexican force upon that island The Mexican
government have also their agents here and par
ticularly in New Orleans, for the purchase OF
arms and ammunition and the enlistment of
men, to be sent under the American flag to Tam
pico and Vera Cruz, in preparation for this con.
templated invasion.
InNew Orleans both these governments g.
pecially the Mexican-are very active in this work;
and from the great exerhols which are being
made by the latter, she will be enabled to collect
a large number Of men for her purpose, and as
many officers as she may require. Many of the
officers of the American army have had offers
to 90 to Mexico, and there take command Of
different brigades Of the army which is in
tended to act against the invading force
from Spain. 1t appears by the last ac-
counts from Europe that the Spanish govern
ment have already informed their diplomatic
agents at the different Courts there, of their going
to war with Mexioo-a movement which in itself
may be considered q declaration OF war.
Now, it is question whether under our neu-
trality laws it is not the duty of the officers of
our government in New York and New Orleans
to put stop to the operations of the Mexican and
Spanish governments here, as was done in the
case Of the British agents when engaged in the
enlistment Of recruits for the Crimca-
This war, 1t appears, has been stirred up by
The Court Of Rome, which was moved to this SIN
gular course by the complaints Of the clergy IN
the republic Of Mexico, when dispossessed Of tn
church property by the DEGREES of the Comonfort
government IL is, in fact, sort of religious
war; and il would be well, therefore, for the
Know Nothings here 10 get up meetings and
raise money for the purpose of assisting Mexico
against the Spanish invasion, as in this way they
would be aiding those who are opposed to the
Pope. The Know Nothings ought TO he particu-
larry in favor of such movement.
