rhe State Convention.

For the first time since we took up
our residence in Ohio, We attended q
State gathering of the Democracy at
Columbus on Thursday last. The Con-
vention was enc of the largest delegated
bodies ever convened in the State. The
black republicans had hattered them,
selves that the Convention would break
up in a row, and that they should have
an easy victory this fall. But they are
sally disappointed. The delegates we're
harmonious in their action, the ticket
presented is a strong one, and the res
olutions constitute a platform on which
every Democrat can S and and do battle
against the conglomerated elements COM
posing the black republican party. The
observation-disclosures ut Columbus was
that we must beat tae enemy this fall,
and We now call upon the democracy of
Huron to begin the work of organization
with the view to doing their full share to-
wards accomplishing this desirable
result. Let evry democrat rally -nnder
the motto that .sOhio must be redeem
ed, and VIC can and anil carry the
State this fan.-NoTaoaM Erpertn1ent.

me sub-Treaeury Law.

The Democratic Sub-Treasury law of
last winter, which compels the Probate
Judge of each county to appoint Exam,
liners to investigate the condition of the
county Treasures, is raising old Harry
in some of the counties. This thing of
keeping 1.-THE MONEY IN THE VAULTS OF
THE TREASURY" is not relished very
keenly by some of the officers who have
been specializing with the peoples funds.
We see that the Treasurer of ViDton
county, turus out a d~efaulter, on an ex-
animation of his accounts. The Seneca
county Treasurer resigned the day be-
fore the law vent in force and made an
assignment of his property. The Re-
publican Commissioners of that county
Immediately appointed a successor, but
he refused to permit an investigation,
and at last accounts the matter was I'M
der Investigation. And We see consid-
cradle mutterlng and many sly i%usinua
iions that tall is not right" in some of
the other counties.
The law is just the thing. An honest
officer who complies with its provisions
need never fear an examination; those
who violate it and use the public money
to speculate, should be expos. d. and
this law will effectually accomplish that
end ayne Co. Democrat.

A FRENcH FLYING MACHINE = The
Emperor has just made a present of 81
ooof. TOT private in the line, who asserts
ne has discovered a solution for tho great
problem in aeronautics-the art of fly
ing. He has invented a kind of air ship,
consisting of a platform of silk stretched
over whalebone, to be propelled by two
gigantic wings of the same material,
placed on each side. The aerial naviga-
tor is to be suspended at a distance of
about four feet from the platform, while
bis feet rest on pedals, by means of which
the wings are set in motion, while his
arms rest on a lever which imparts to the
platform the direction he chooses to give
it. Only a model of this machine has
yet been constructed, and it appears to
work we'll. 1t is now about to be con-
structed on a largo scale.

Wbat's the Matter?

The resolutions of the late Black Re.
publican State Convention are silent on
the subject of "freedom." What does
this mean? Can it be possible that the
old tory party is again preparing to as.
sumo a national form, with the view to
running some cruel "slave driver for
President in 1860? We can hardly
believe that they will prove SO treach-
erous to s'freedom," " although the a
ner in which some of theirleadiDg prints
have lately Landed Senator C~RrrTENDEN
of Kentucky, looks as if the "slave oil

A Republican Convention, of dele
gates from the several counties compo,
sing the new Judicial District, met at
Mansfield, on Thursday last, and nomi
natcd Mr.. POWELL, of Delaware.
Mr. PowErL is a very good cit zen,
and alawyer Of long practice at the bar.
In politics, be is an old Federal-Aboii
ZIONIST. Like the candidates on the
State ticket nominated at Columbus, by
the Republicans, he belongs to the old
race of hereditary haters of the Democ-
racy, aud his nomination. affords another
evidence that the element which con
trolls the machinery of the Republican
party,is the one which had its birth in
the old contest between ADAMS aud JET,
PERSON, and, although it lovesthe aid o.
its recruits from the Democratic party,
yet despises the traitors, and have de
termined that they shall occupy the
place of subalterDs. A strange home is
this Republican jungle for any man who
has ever been associated with the Demo
cratic party. The concern has no posts
of honor, it is true-but all the offices
are filed by the old enemies of the De-
mocracy; while the Democratic recruits
are hswers of wood and drawers of wa
ter for their piesbald, masters. Serves

Feeding Of Stock on Rusted
Oats.

As many may think that rusted oats
will produce disease in stock feeding
upon them, We give the following from
a correspondent in The West Tennessee
Wing on this subject. Our readers
should observe the effect of all kinds of
Injured or diseased food OF their cattle,
hogs, sheep, or horses:
"For the last several days l have
been p~asturing about fifty head of hogs
large and small) COWS, and horses upon
my oat field and none of them, as yet,
show that they have been made sick, but
on the contrary, all are thriving The
green oats of any season will kill hogs,
if allowed to remain long at a time in
the field My opinion is that it is as
safe to pasture them now as it was last
year, and I am sustained in it by the ex
~perience of ten days trial by my neigh
Dor, Mr.. James ". Carothers, whose

THE
WOOL DEPOT
Established in the winter of 1854,

Has been in operation over four years, during
which. period, though its progress has been i'm
peded by the adverse years of 1851, the practica-
bility of the plan has been clearly demonstrated.
That the house affords superior advantages to the
WOOL GROWERS OF THE WEST, as a medium
for passing their woods into the hands of the man
ufacturer, is now no longer a question. But al
though a very large number of Wool Growers
have awaited themselves of these advantages du-
ring the last four years, yet. surprising as it may
appear to many. gu receipts have been larger from
Merchants and -Wool.buyers than from Wool.
growers, and this may be accounted for mainly
from the fact, that, as a class. woolgrowers have
been more ca lily Influenced and misled than the
form eE, by the statements of a few operators who
are wholly opposed to all efforts having forthetr
objectthe systematizing ofthe wooltrade, or the
enhancement ofprices to the producer
The past year, characterized as 1t has been by
the most disastrous financial embarrassments, has
been one of the most unfortunate for negotiating
and managing sales of wool, and the fact that the
enterprise has beer. remarkably successful, not
wIthstanding these disadvantages, and given al
most universal satisfaction to consignors, should,
we think. inspire sufi Client confidence to induce
large consignmentsf from wool. growers.
To those who have been prejudiced by false
rumors, and who have manifested a want of con
fdence we have frequently made advances equal
to the price they have been offered for their wool.
Such advances, however,, should not be required,
as the enterprise was started for their benefit. aud
this object has been steadily kept in view, and we
hope the encouragement will be such as to enable
us to continue our efforts. Indeed, wool growers.
particularly the present year, cannot afford to do
| without such influence and facilities as this House
can exte nd to them.
This ear must be a peculiarly favorable one for
| wool owerst to testt the merits of the WoolDepot
system, and we hazard nothing in assuring those
who are disposed to consign to US, that they will
avail themselves of
