SUPERIOR SWEET APPLs, PEAR AND OUNCE
PICKLES. "A long trial in our own family has
proved the good quality of picked sweet ap-
pies, pears, and ounces, prepared as follows !:
Take one peck of fruit, pare, quarter and core
them and add four pounds OF sugar and ono
quart of vinegar. Cook the whole together
until the fruit is tender, then remove il with
skinner to plates on which it is to be
spread out to cool, and afterwards put into
stone ware or glass jars, Then make a ne W
syrup like the first, but little sweeter, say
one quart of vinegar and five pounds OF sugar.
boiling it with a little bag containing ID
ounce OF ground cinnaman and IL ounce of
ground cloves. Pour this syrup over the ap.
pies leaving the bag of spices in the syrup.
Prepared in this way very nice sweetmeat
is obtained, which is a swedish tart but not
sour, and the flavor will be highly relished by
most persons. They will keep long time.
and are not so indigestible and unhealthy as
fruit stewed downed in sugar to the keeping
point. BY an occasional boiling, the prepar.
alton might be kept fos years If desired. il is
cheap, as the cost for peck of fruit is only
nine pounds Of sugar, two quarts of vinegar,
and little cinnamon and cloves. The hrst
liquid used for boiling the fruit may be taken
for cooking new lot, or it may be used for
preparing other sauce for immediate use. -

WHAT Is THE IsSUE,


II is not the freedom of Kansas. for. I'M.
der Providence, that is essentially achieved
in spite of the ruffianism, force, bribery and
corruption of Buchanan, tyrannic democracy.
1t is not the abolition of slavery, for no
state, unless it be Missouri, is agitating
that question, and there it is as it should
be, a purely local one. True, all good re-
publicans hope that freedom and free labor
may prevail and be honored and honorable
in that magnificent state. But that issue
is not presented in Ohio, and our votes can
not directly effect the question there.
Again, the issue is not the elevation of
the African race to an equality with the
white man, nor on bcstowing the right Of
suffrage upon the African; upon these top
les the opinions of men in either of the
great parties may be as various as upon
any subject of philosophy or religion. The
Niger question. is ghost raised by tho
democratic performers TO frighten their own
weak children into the house. The dark
ghost is under the democratic woodpie, and
lives there to appear at the bidding of the
tyrannic jugglers in democracy. Rcpubli-
cans havo nothing to do with it.
Then what arc the issucsi
lst. Will you approve and uphold an ad-
ministration which has proved itself FALSE
AND CORRUPT?
I'd. Will you approve the creation of n
national debt, and call it national bless
ing!
Sd. VIII you approve of wasteful and
corrupt extravaganza and squandering of
the public money, far greater than that for
which tho administration of Martin Van
Buren, was condemned in ls407
4th. viii you approve of an odious dis
elimination in favor of slave states and
against FREQ states in admitting new states
into this Union?
9Th. Will YOU acknowledge and agreo
that slaves can be carried into and kept in
all and any of tho free states of the Union
against the peoples will
9th. Will you support, uphold and ap-
prove the tyrannic measures and acts of tho
present administration
These are some of the issues and these
questions are put by the present position
and doctrines Of the SO called democratic
party to every voter of Ohio. That party
has made its appeal to tho people, and now
calls upon them to approve and sustain all
these things.
