nS-lt has been ntimated that the Know
Nothing order, slightly modified, has been re.
established in this place, aud that they meet
over the store of Messrs Bach & Westcott.-
We have before us what purports to be state
ment of their objects, their times of meeting,
and the names of officers. These we shall with
hold until further advised as to the truth of the
statements. Coming from Locofoco, We look
upon them with good degree of Suspicion
Section two of article four, reads as follows:
1--WE hold that Negro is one degree above
Baboon; that an Irishmhn is one degree above
a Negro; that Dutchlnan is nne degree above
an lirishmnn that an Engshman is one degree
above Dntchman and that an American is
the perfection Of human nature. We believe
a Negro can never he a citizen; an Irishman
may become citizen by remaining among us
twenty years; a Grimm fifteen years. and an
Englishman ten years.
This is supposed to be the compronise line
drawn ur at the tim, the bargain was made
between Norton AMI the Llco clique of this
place.

Hartford County Bank Currency.

Ma. EDITOR Having seen in the last mum.
her of the Journal comment on the failure of
the Hartford County Bank and the probability of
loss to the citizens of this county arising from the
circulation OF its bills by the Perrysburg Bank,
permit me in behalf the owners ul the Perrysburg
Bank to say that all bills of the Hartford County
Bank having stamped upon them the letter q held
Ivy residents of Wood County, will be redeemed
on presentation at the counter Of the Perrysburg
Bank at any time previous to the 18th of Novem-
Der, A. D. 1857. We are in hopes that the sus-
pension of the Hartford County Bank is tem-
polary merely But in any event, we do not i'll
tend that the people of Wood County shall be
losers by any circulation that we have bocn ustru-
mental in giving them. JAS MURRAY.

Naturalization.

have been conversltion between judges Cook
and Whteley upon the subject naturalization,
in presence of Judges Lrwrance and L1tta
We are authorized by Jils"s Ltwrance an !
Latta, who have sen the Democrat article, to
say, that it is tissue Of falshoods from end

James Murray, who was present at The time al.
lIded to, also says that the article is sh3er fab
rication Judge Cook pronounces it utterly false,
and as bling in conflict with his long entertained
sentiments aud all his previous actions, upon
that subject
We trust our Know Nothing friend will, here
after, adhere little closer to the truth, else he
must expect to sink into utter contempt,

Mr. WEsTcoTT. from all that we can learn

visit to this city on Saturday evening. The gen
eral impression seems to be that if he continues tu

Gen. Hill will walk ever the course without let

men addressed large audience At Union Hall ;

Republican Meeting
Correction.

In our issue of Sept l7jh, we gave state
ment Of the cost of keeping in repair the yVes-
tern Reserve and Maumec Road. That statement
was founded upon conversation had with the
Superintendent, in which there was msundrstaud-
ing. We did not know the salary of the Superiu.
tendent,n neither did we know how many gates there
were on the road, the salaries of the gutckeep-
ers nnd stated that the entire expense of the
road would not exceed 1000 per annum This
we were informed Was erroneous, but not in time
for correction in the paper in which the statement
appeared We then designed to correct it in our
last issue, but pressure Of business led to its neg
bet.
The DEaocRAr copies the article alluded to, af
ter we had explained the matter fully to the lead
ers of the party and promised n correction, in
which we are charged with being stupid liar
slandcrer and maligner of our neighbors and 9TH
er very nice things too numerous to mention anl
Mr.. Langcnderltr the faithful and gentcmany
Superintendent, is set down as block-hcad
Now, without bandying words with this rery
gentlemanly successor to Messrs. Grimes & Moon
we will take his own statement aud sec how the
'N'S iiS t'I''t NHS C'llIlc CDnI VI keep
ing the bridges, culvcrts &c, and the salaries of
Superintendent, gate keepers, pay OF team, &c.
amounts per year, in the aggregate to $500
Granting this, and how docs the case stand? Ul.
der Loco(oco management, Parks received s. 1919
for keeping this road in repair and the State pail
the gait-keepers, The Democrat says there are
seven gate-keepers, who receive 900 each per
year, making an aggregate OF 81 400. Deduct
this sum from the expenses incurred under the
present managcment.ro 10 wit: $500. and you have
S2l09 that we now pay for such duties as Mr..
farks performed ut salary Of s. l99. This
shows difference in favor Of the Republicans of
a3399 per annwn, or @l6995 in live years the
time which Mr. Parks expected to have his fingers
in the treasury! Taking their own admissions.
therefore. we show that they have sought to rob
the people Of quite Il handsome slm of money
Supposing that we allow them 81 900 for ncidcn-
tial expenses, they then have %l0,0)0 unaccount-
ed for. Gentlemen, you had better explain this
matter, and not seek to up your guilty tricks
by reSorting 10 indecent epithets and unwarrant-
able assertions. Stick to facts gentlemen The
people care nothing about your slang phrases.
What they wish TO know is, who robbed them Of
their money, AMI who proposes to keep up the
system of robbery.
