What tho Opposition say of Our
State Tichet.
The Cincinnati Times avs

LII
We must regard the Democratic State
ticket as n strong ono. With one or
two exceptions, the candidates are new
men, fresh from the people, and DO not
only possess, to a full degree, the quail
ties essential to the Offices for which
they are selected, but vii! prove efficient
on the stump. Tho Convention seemed
to appreciate the necessity of bringing
out fresh candidates on this occasion,
and through all the struggle of faction
this was accomplished.
The Democrats of Ohio are hopeful of
success in October, and not without
cause. The Republican party, in all
the departments of S ate, has failed to
satisfy the people. The General Assem-
bly, was a oue-idea body, that took far
of Kansas than the Government of our
Commonwealth. 1t did but little good
and a great deal Of harm and its sins of
omission aud commission are piled up
mountain high; and can be used with
great advantage by their adversaries.
The same may be said of the Execu-
tive. Gov. Chase, while ready at a mo-
ment's warning to aid a conflict between
the State and federal authorities, has
suffered, from sheer negligence, the
treasury of the State to be plundered of
a large sum of money. Had ho exercis-
ed the surveillance that is his duty, the
huge leak in the treasury wo Id have
been stopped long ago. He has, to bo
sure, made several very handsome after
dinner speeches, but that seems to be
the only department in which he has
given satisfaction. These facts-the to-
tai failure of the Republican General
Assembly as a reform legislature, the
startling developments in tho treasury
department and the very silly attempt
Of the Republican press to shield Glib
son behind Breslin-have had q great
tendency to dispirit the Republican or
ganization, and render them powerlcss in
the approaching canvass.

New YoRK, August IA

A great Democratic mass meeting, in
opposition to she obnoxious laws of the
late Legislature was held at Tammany
Hall, last evening. W. NJ. Tweed pres
ident and speeches were made by John
Cochrane D. Sick1es, and others. Strong
resolutions were adopted. The meeting
was characterised by considerable noise,
confusion, and a free fight, got up by
some Republican intruders.

"A Luxury that the Rich only
can Enjoy!

WHEN SALMON P. CHASE selected AL
FRED p. STONE as Treasurer of State
he only followed the bent of his aris-
tocratic inclinations. Mr.. STONE is
celebrated as a nan who despises a Me
chanic-indeed his hatred towards them
has been so bitter that he has declared
that Mechanics should accar q rcd patch
on the seat oftheir pantaloons, to be desig-
hG,cd from gentlenzenp Upon anoth-
er occasion, at q public supper, I'VE are
informedJ he raised a glass of Cham
pdigne to his lips, and delivered himself
of the sentiment: "WNE-a luxury
that the rich only can enjoyr" Such is
the man whom Salmon p. Chase the
great bowler for negro equality and free
dom has selected TO preside over one of
the principal Departments of State.
Will the people endorse S. P. CHASE
and his appointee? Dare the republican
party nominate for Treasurer of State
the Knight of the Red Patch ?" Dare
the republican party place in nomination
s. P. CHASE, who by appointing STONE,
to a prominent Office, endorsed the doc
trine that a Mechanic should be desig-
mated from a gentleman by wearing a
RED PATCH on the seat of his panta-
looms ?-Seuec0 Aduertiser.
E Yes, they haze dared. They
have dared to offer an insult to the %intell:-
gence and self-respect of the electors
that will meet with a rebuke they little
dream OF.

These tables are interesting and valu-
able, and worthy of preservation. Since
1854, it will be seen hat the number of
our sheep have been gradually declin-
ing, although during the succeeding
years there has been al average improve
mcnt in the prices and grades of wool.
The principal cause of the diminution
is the fact that our farmers have yield
ed to the tempting prices offered by those
who were buying for slaughter in the
eastern markets. We hope that the
present and prospective prices of wool,
will induce our farmers to hereafter re-
sist the wiles of the butchers, and that
they will see that it is their true inter
ests not only to retain, but to increase
and improve their focks.
But another cause of the decrease is
the delredations committed by dogs
During the last year many of the best
focks Of our farmers have been decima-
ted By these animals. The present law
Is considered inadequate. Before you
can reach the owner of the offender, you
have to convict the dog, and the obsta-
Gle in the way of conviction is, that tho
burglarious CANNES enter the pens and
fields at night, and execute their 7andal
work. In justice, therefore, to the sheep
growers and their property, as we'll as
to vindicate the honest dogs, a more eff
icient law appears to be demanded
The proceeds of the most meagre wool
crop that has been produced in the coun.
ty since it was organized, is of more
value than all tho dogs Excluding of

THE :wOOL TRADE OF ASHLAND
COUNTY,


II may be necessary to premise, at
the Threshold, that this article is not,
as might be inferred from its caption,
political in its objects. Our purpose is
merely to state a few facts, and offer a
few comments in reference to the past
and present condition of the wool trade
in Ashland county.
The "wool season. is about closed for
the current year; and we estimate on
the authority of Mr.. s. DIN, (who in
connection with Mr.. DzMING, are the
oldest and most extensive wool buyers
in this and the adjacent counties.) that
there have been at least $50, 000 lbs. of
wool purchased in Ashland county du-
ring the present season. The prices
paid have ranged from 40 to So cts per.
ID. Say 45 cents, and the wool produ-
GERS of our county will have realized for
their crop during the present season, an
aggregate of SIPS 500. It was suppos-
ed by many that production and prices
would this year be lower than in 1856;
but the result has shown that, although
tho number of sheep is less by 5,005
than last year, yet the fieeccs hsvc been.
unusually large. yielding about a ID. per
head moro than ordinarily, on acoount
of the sheep having been better winter
ed, and the shearing later in tho season
than usual; and the prices paid, not
w~ithstanding the croaking about the eff
fects of the late tariff, will average about
five cents per tb. above those paid in
1856. The number and value of the
sheep in Ashland county, from 1852 to
1857, inclusive, will be seen by the fol-
lowing table, msde up from the returns

SHALL NEGROES DE YOUR EQUALS Pc
|LITIcALL AND SOCIALLY Everybody
remembers, how last fall, the black re-
publican papers and speakers denied the
charge that they wanted to admit pi.-
gers to a perfect social and political
equality with white men. It suited
their purpose then to lie out of their
real sentiments; but after the election
came The proposition to strike tho word
achite from the Constitution, ard COW

far as the right @snffage, or any other
right of citizens is concerned lie should

Here then, people of Ohio, you have
the issue. The black republicans be-
