GRESSIONAL DIS rRlCT.
In any political contest for place and
power a decent regard for the proper un
derstanding Of the voter, as well as fair
ness and justice to tie candidate, demands
an honest and manly canvass. A differ
ent course tends Enthusiastically to debast
political sentiment and polluIe The public
mind.
The common practice owls, 10 indulge
in wanton calumny and defamation; this
practice should notsextehuats or excuse

The organ Of the Democracy of this
county has most glaringly soughtto place
Judge Carey before the people Of this
Congressional District in a false and de-
grading position in regard to the elective
franchise, and in the following extract

are attributed TO him in my opinion
most foreign from the truth.

Those who are conversant with the
contest in this county in 1851, when a
vote to consider the propriety ofraisng a
tax Of $50, 900, in favor Of the Rail Road
projected through Wyandot County, at
that time, recollect well, the bitter oppo-
silion it received from one John Carey,
in consequence Of the effect 1t might have
upon lis boarded wealth. He stumped
the county and made bold the assertions
that the poor man--the laboring man,
who was less fortunate than himself, and
WHO DID not OWN REAL ESTATE,
SHOULD NOT BE PhRMITTED TO

made il our business to see some Of the
men who fought against the Judge on that
memorable occasion; and they have ass
sured us that though, like Carey, they
were amongst The men who hocontested ev.

ed against him. they will do him the JUS
tice to say that they NEVER HEARD
HIM UTTER THE SENTIMENT at
tributed to him by the writer in the "Ua,

Nov, as we said before. seeing that
this obargs was unaccompanied by any
evidence whatever, we coneeiy ed II to be
our duty. as an advocate Of equal justice
to all men, to make tl,iserplana;ion to our
readers. and to ask them to refrain from
convicting man Until some evidence is
produced against him. Should evidence
sufficient to sustain the charge be pro.
Tduced, we will not attempt to shield The
accused from any Of the consequences
that may follow; but until that is done
we will raise our voice in defence Of our
neighbors sgainst charges trumped up on
the eve Of an election unsupported by the
necessary evidence. We say "let jus.
iice be done though the Heavens should
fall" a2 70. ~ ~
All who know US are aware that ID what
we have said upon this subject we have not
been actuated by any other motive than
desire to shield an old and. respectable
citizen Of The county from injustice, We
trust our Democratic neighbors, if they
have any regard for the honor and integ,
rity Of the party to which they seem to
be so closely attached, will refrain from
putting in circulation charges that are
not supported by the evidence in the case;
that they will rely more upon, truth and
less upon clap-trap and calumny for sue

THE COMMON PLEAS JUDGESHIP.

THE COMMON PLEAS JUDGEsHIP.
An attempt has been made through the
columns Of the Democratic Union Of this
place, TO create the impression that Major
Sears, one of the candidates for Common
Pleas Judge in this district, was actuated
by unworthy and dishonorsble motives
when he pledged himself to the people Of
the district, (not the Republicans of the
district, as the Union would have it, that
should he be elected he would join heart.
lily with them in an effortto procure the
repeal cf the odious and unnec essary law
by which an additional Judge is to be
forced upon us, and that in the event oI
such repeal would resign at once.
Now, in the immediate community
where Mr.. S. is best known, the shaft
which has been aimed at his character for
honor and integrity will fall harmless at
hislfeet, for the Major is povrerbial for his
high minded and upright department
amongst his fellow men, and there is no
man who looks upon little. mean, dishon-
orable act, with more scorn and contempt
than he does. 5t
But, the truth Of the matter is this {:
Major Sears refused to be a candidate for
the Office. Of Judge unless it would be with
the express understanding that a general,
united effort, would be made to induce the
present Legislature to repeal the law by
which the people are compelled to employ
two men at salary Of fifteen hundred DOL
lars each to perform an amount Of labor
that would not keep one man busy more
than one fourth of his time and that,
should the effort fail before the presen'
Legislature. it should be carried from one
Legislature to another until justice should
be done in the premises. aas .ag,n
This effort wiH be made, not as the
"Union" intimates, by a few Republicans,
but by NINE-TENTHS Of the people Q,
The district. not one Of whom asked for
the enactment Of the law, unless it was
some hungry members Of the bar who
were desirous of getting a prominent
brother out Of the way, IN order that they
might share bis practice with its profits
For it is an incontrovertable fact that al
the time Of the enactment of the law, il
was denounced in bitter terms by almost
every man who was heard to speak upor
the subject, no matter to what party he
belonged. ssr 81 s4sl ~ 81
Fellow citizens il you desire to expires:
your disapprobation of this Legislative
outrage, in language that cannot be mis-
understood, vote for MAJOR SEARS
he is the Repeal Candidate and by voting
for him you will give your Legislators
gentle hint that they have not acted II

The Mississippi.

Those who have never seen the Mississip-
pi when the gushing waters of thousand
streams that elsewhere would be ranked as
rivers, had given it volume and power,
wild rush of waters here broken by great
swirls, there reverted on itself by forming
eddies and counter currents that q good boats
man alone can safely pass, know little OF the
magnifceuce and sublimity Of the view from
our levee. Stand there, and let your
thoughts trace the mighty food now rushing
by, to its source, amid the little lakes Of the
far north, growing more and more turbld,
deeper, broader, and less to be restrained by
any ordinary obstacles, as it receives the
tribute OF the Rocky mountains and the great
American plains ON the west, through the
Missouri. the Arkansas, the Red, and their
branches, and the waters from the great ba-
sin west of the AlIeghanies, through the
Ohio, and you begin to appreciate the idea Of
the Mississippi. 1t grows upon you as you
gaze upon its steady sweep onward to the
ocean, bearing along washings from every
soil to MAKE the foundations of new lands
slowly rising from the floor of the Gulf of
Mexico.
Just now its surface is above the general
level of the land. 1t fills it from shore to
shore, the wind dashing its waves in many
places over the levee. Yesterday at the foot
OF Bienville street, a, the steamship landing,
and at various other points, the water dashed
over the crown of the firm embankment that
alone preserves us from inuudation. Still
the waters rose higher, and for twenty-four
hours longer, at least, they did continue to
swell But there is no danger from the river
front along the borders Of the city. The le-
wee is broad and firm, and might even permit
the water to swell even SO that no more could
be contained, without these massive mounds
gradually sloping away towards the swamp
being broken away. The only fear is from
the weakness of the emhankments miles
above US. Here a sleepless vigilance is
necessary. The slightest creyice through
which the water trickles may 10 an hour &c

human ingenuity would toll perhaps in vain
to close. Such experiences are recorded in
the past history of New Orleans,
The news OF the fall OF sill the tributaries
Of our great river, however, gives us a feel
lug Of ease. We can enjoy the sublimity of
the scene presented without any feeling of
anxiety. 1t is a spectacle which is rarely
witnessed that can now lie witnessed 10 this
Crescent City, and tie equal of which no
other people can look upon.-N T. Pc

Democratic Organization.

The Washington Union laments "tbe impo-
tency of the Democratic party to carry it's
measures" and complains that they habitual-
ly fail, "by detachments Of forces fling off
aud voting with the enemy" The Army
bill, the Kansas bill, and the Deficiency bill
are illustrations of the truth Of the Uoion's
statement Other measures that the Presi.
dent is understood to favor will hardly COM
maud better fortune. We have less reason
to expect harmonious action in regard to the
Pacific Railroad measure, Bankrupt law,
or any movement the administration may
make touching Cuba, than existed in refer
ence to the bills mentioned. This state Of
things results from the increasing diversity
of sentiment aud principle, which has been
long becoming apparent in the Democratic
party. Party discipline is losing its power,
antagonsms Of opinion are becoming more
pronounced, and rivalries of interest holder
and bttercr. These are symptoms forerun-
ming Eual dissolution. No party can long
keep together, even under the pressure Of in

Explanations.

Ia the House OF Representatives, on Fri
day, Mr.. CLINGMAS, of North Carolina,
made personal explanation regarding q
speech made by him 10 1911 AMI quoted by
Mr.. Letter, Of Ohio, in which be Mr.. e }
had denounced Capt. Isaiah ltynders, Of the
New York Empire Club. He had at that
time no knowledge of Capt. Rynders except
what was derived from Wing papers, bot
subsequent acquaintance led him to regard
him as an honorable man, who bad been
badly slanderei. Laughter. He Mr.. c. J
left the Wing party when he found it was
becoming abolitiopized and joined the Demo-
cratic party, which was now clarified and pu-
rifed! Having tried the latter seven or eight
years be pronounced it the best party the
country ever bad.
Mr.. Letter, of Ohio, was we'll satisfied
with the explanation.
Mr.. Giddings, Of OAio, recoleCted when the
gentleman from North Carolina and himself
we're side by side; but he left his Mr.. G.'s)
party for the party's good. They were glad
to have such men as Mr. Letter in the place
of such as Mr.. Clingman.
Mr.. CLISGxAS said one reason why he quit
was that be did not want to work by the
side Of such men as Mr.. Giddipgs. That
gen tleman's party had been beaten ever
since be Mr.. c. left it, but their vote for
the CrittendeD amendment was the best proof
of returning peni,eDce.

Railroad securities.

The average cost Of all the railroads in
the United States, in bonds and stocks, has
been estimated at about furty thousand dol
Iars per mile, making the aggregate invest
ment in this description Of property amount
to the enormous total Of 81 040,0OO,0O0. o!
this cost about $500, 900 is represented
by subscribed stock, aud on this amount the
whole profit or dividend paid to the stock
holders during the past year has not exceed
ed SO 100000, or an average Of two per
cent on their investment. 1t is further csti-
mated that the interest on over Sl45 600 900
Of railroads bonds has not been paid during
the past year, ard on considerable portion
of this amount the probability is that no in
terest will ever be paid. These results have
had their appropriate effect in checking the
establishment Of new railroads throughout
III e country, and IF removing all uneaSness
that much additional capital will fow into
that channel Ball. 4mer.

The Foundry at the GOsport Navy
Yard is the most extensive in the Uni
ted States, and scarcely surpassed In size
and completeness of arrangement in the
world. 1t is about 204 feet long, lO4 feet
broad, and 80 feet high to the caves, being
proportionately higher at the comb. 1t has
two furnaces with cupolas for fusing the me-
tai. The smaller one will melt to the propee
heat for casting at one time from 6 to 8 tons,
and the larger from II to Is tons; which is .
a ca pacity that will scarcely ever be required
for the largest work; say fer cylinders, bed
plates, shafts, DO. .,
The whole building is covered in with an
iron and slate roof, very artistcally arranged,
combining airiness, ligbtness and great
strength. The entire structure was gotten
up and perfected under the supervision "n'

Li,tles was lawyer, a dissolute young man,
who had separated from bis wife, bat who
continued to annoy her with bis visits. His
dead body was found one morning last fall,

! der the famous but DOW deiunct Constitution
/ Of Kansas has been successfully daguerreC-
! typed by Gov. Smlth in a speech in the
House OF Representatives, and the picture is

DR.. Robinson was one Of the early emf.
grants to California, and settled in Sacra-
mento, where he resisted the civil authori.
ties, and was one of the prime movers in
raising the squatters against the recognized
authorities OF the city, who, With murder
Gus hands slew the various officers of the
city, including the Auditor, the ST erff, and
the Mayor--tbe latter lingering for several
months irCm a wound received from the
murderous clan Of which Robinson was one
in the ranks For this, Robinson was
indicted and Imprisoned in the prison brig
IN the Sacramento river" afterw ards 'he was
elected by the Squatters to the Legislature :;
was released on giving bonds that be would
return 10 answer the indictment, but, after
serving through the Legislature, be forgot

and was next heard Of in Kansas as doing
works OF mischief!
This is the sort Of man that the Free
Sellers now wait as Governor OF Kansas, and
this il the man, who from every account that
reaches us, is to be elected U. S. Senator if
kalsas be admitted.
Oar recollection is not distinct, but we
