CINCINNATI DEMoCRACY.-The Demo-
cratic Executive Committee of Hamilton
county, Ohio, met at Cincinnati a few days
since, and adopted resolutions denouncing
the Legislature for expelling Slough, on
account of his having knocked a member
down in open session of the House of Rep
resentatives. He was then nominated as
the Democratic candidate to fill the vacan-
cy caused by the expulsion. The Repub-
liean Executive Committee of the same
county has nominated Robert Hosea. On
Saturday evening last, Democratic Mass
Meeting was held at Metropolitan Hall,
Cincinnati, at which the denomination Of
Slough was ratified, and hearing refused
to Cory, the Democratic member Of the
House who voted for Slough's expulsion.

H The Republicans in the Indiana
Legislature, who have majority in the
Senate, having refused TO go into an cleo
ton for U. s. Senators, the Democracy
went into Convention, without a quorum
of either House being present, and elected
two q. s. Senators. What is most sin
gular, these men went on to Washington
and obtained seats in the Senate. Wha1
can't modern Democracy do?

sign, elegance, and number of monuments,
tomb-stones and other marble-work they
keep constantly on hand. We have been
in various marble shops, at Massillon, Cleve-
land, Columbus and other places, and are
confident that we never saw better work
than we saw yesterday here in Wooster.
The designs are rich and of the very latest
styles, as Mr.. Eberhardt keeps well posted
IN ms business, having all the latest drafts
ana designs from Boston and New York.
he Is himself skilled in the execution of
tne most elaborate and elegant designs,

E We see it stated that the weather
has been so cold in Minnesota that even
the whisky froze, and it was sold in chunks,

Their whisky must have been furnished
by the rectifer, who, when he was accused
of making people drunk, replied that his
whisky never made people drunk; that
they might drink enough of it to burst and
not get drunk.

OT. LOUIS, FeD. II.
The Senate on Tuesday, by a vote of 25

E- The correspondence between Gen.
Scott and the Secretary of War.-Jeferson
Dayis,-is before the public, but is so bit
ter and personal in character that we shall
make no place for it. The sensitive old
soldier, wounded by the want of tact in the
Secretary of War, naturally enough indica-
ted his sensitiveness,-but the younger
Secretary, instead of the forbearance due to
the high character and the invaluable SER
vices Of the great General, flippantly fires
back in fish woman's tongue. We would
not for the world,- we were Jefferson
Davis,-go DOWN to "History" with this
correspondence. The Hero of Mexico, =
The glorious, but truly Christian successor
of fernando Cortez, is immortal, but
the Secretary of War will now go down on
that History with him, only as some dirt
thrower at the spots on the sun.

Every season, unless We carly print
receipt for making currant wine, we are
applied to for it, sometimes by half 4
dozen persons. We therefore give the di-
rections by which We make our own, and
which though simple, we consider the wine
excellent. First, crush the curran's efiec-
tually, then place them in strong bag.
and press the juice out, by whatever
means will effect it best; then, to each
quart of juice add three pounds Of pure,
sifted, doublc-refined sugar, and then add
as much water as will make one gallon.
Brown sugar, or any inferior to the best
white, contains gum which will moro or
less act upon the water and alTec. the fla
vor Of the wine. To make ten gallon
keg of wine, it will require ten quarts Of
currant juice, 80 lbs. of sugar, and then
filed up with water. Be sure tha. the
sugar is we'll dissolved, by rolling over or
shaking the cask but We prefer mixing
all together before putting into the cask,
Fermentation will begin in two or three
days, the bung being set upon the hole,
and will continue some two or three weeks.
After it has entirely ceased fermcnting,
rack of carefully, then thoroughly clean
out the barrel, return the wine to the cask,
and tightly burg up, and leave undisturb-
cd for six months before using, when, if
preferred, it can be bottled. 1t requires
no clearing substance or liquor of any
kind as it is much better without either.

SONG FOR THINKERS.

Take the spade of Perseverance,
Dig the field Of Progress wide;
Every rotten root of faction
Hurry out and cast asIie,
Every stubborn weed of error,
Every seed that hurts the soil,
TareS, whose very growth is terror
Dig them out, whate'cr the toll!
Give the stream of Education
Broader channel, bolder force;
Hurl the stones of Persecution
Out. where'er they block It's course;
Seek for strength in sell e1ertion.
Work, and sill have faith 10 wait,
Close the crooked gate 10 fortune,
Make the road 10 honor straight!
Men are agents for the future;
As they work. so ages win
Either harvest of advancement
Or the products of their sin!
Follow out true cultivation,
Widen Eiucation'S plan.
From the majesty of Nature
Teach the majesty Of Man!
Take the spade Of Perseverance,
Dig the field of Progress wide,
Every bar TO true instruction
Carry out and cast aside;
Feed the plant whose fruit is Wisdom;
Cleanse from crime the common sod;
- that from the throne OF Heaven
II may bear the glance OF God.

How DR.. Ross OMITTED THE FIFTH
EERsE.-Dr, Ross preached on the Sab
bath for an Anti, Slavery church at Cleve-
land. We take the following particulars
in regard to the sermon Of this disting guish-
ed Southern clergyman from the Clcrelaad

"The pastor made the opening prayer,
and uttered solemn and earnest petition
TO Heaven for the slave, and that Slavery
might be banished from the earth. The
distinguished gentleman, forgetting that

had not been revised and corrected'to suit
the peculiariues or Tro-olavery religion,

bot on coming to the fifth, the readers
face turned suddenly the color of blood
beet, and his voice sank aimos. to whis-
per. What was the matter? The cor
gregation referred to their hymn books,
when broad smile ran like wave of
mirth all over the house-old deacons bit
their lips and strovc to look grave ,and the
younger class Of the congregation almost
laughed right out The last rersc pro-
nounced a curse upon the opprcssor, and
Jreatheda prayer. for the suffering Jondman
Shades Of the Supreme Court and the Fu-
gitivc law. what position was that for
minister who openly ccntends that Slavery
is of God, and sanctioned and sanctifed By
Heaven! The Rev. gentleman was for a
moment nonplussed-,he situation was un-
common .ight-but he rallied and proved
himself equal to the occasion, by shouting
to the singers, with face Ike an Indian
summer sun set after storm, "ioG 'rW
onli tie ffM rersc.'"
