crawford County.

Little Crawford has acquitted herself
Dobiy. Her average majority is about
700. The Foruns, to the efficiency and
vigor of which during the campaign, the
Democracy of that county are largely
indebted for this result, says:
s.Tbe election in this county on
Wednesday last, was a very exciting one.
The Democratic vote polled was the
heaviest ever cast in the county The
result, is highly gratifying aud brings
ioy 10 every Democratic heart.
In referring to the pie-bald enemy that
the Democracy had to contend with,
that paper says:
we give our opponents the credit of
q good deal of sincerity and vigor IN
their efforts on Tuesday last. Albeit
VIC think those virtues might have been
exetted in a much better cause. But
il we couceAe that the Republicans ex-
erted thems4l Ives powerfully, what words
can we 6ud to express our admiration
for the Democracy? Those qualities
VIII Il have gained for US the glorious
appcllation of the "unterri6ed Democra-
Cyl, we're never more fully exemplihed
than at the polls in every township IN
this county on Tuesday last.
Eve have had many .disadvantagesto
contend With. Fabulous expeaditureso of
the general government have been false
ly charged upon US. A system of de-
traction was adopted. that disgraces the
parties who employed it, far more thar
it damaged the objects of it. We are
also convinced, that the Democracy bad
to meet the efforts of some men, who
use the name OF Democrat to stab the
party to which they pretend to belong
This may suit some men, but we hope
never to practice nor to countenance
tactics of this kind"

Tno Timcs ON the Election.

The Ashland Times is in a bad hu-
NOR. The result of the election in this
county is quite different from that
which "the Company bad hoped for
and expected It throws out its charac
~teristic bitterness and venom against
the officers Of this county who have
been elected by the Democratic party.
OF them it says:
"But their end is drawing nigh, ard
no one who has seen these men ard their
operations aud views them candidly but
will say "God speed the time" when the
county will be rid of them"
VIII the Times frankly state the
character of is objections tic these men
that would justify the employment
against them Of such extraordinary in
veciiye Are they dishonest Are
they incapable? Has any one Of them
been guilty of malfeasance in Office ?
Has any ORG of their number committed
any act of dishonesty outside of his Of
fee ? If SO, let us have the particulars
and not compel US to endure these point
less and unmeaning TRADES against men
whose only crime is that they love their
country aud vote aud act with the
Democratic party. Give US, by all
means, "the operations of these men SO
bitterly complained of In the heat OF
the contest, We were disposed TO over
look these slanderous aud unjust attacks
upon Ii board of county officers, whose
uniform courtesy and official and moral
integrity are acknowledged by every
respectable man of their acquaintance.
Is it too much 70 demand of the Times

The New Steamer that is to Cross
the Ocean in Sig Days.

The novel steamship built by the
Messrs. Wiuans, Baltimore, TO cross the
ocean in six days, is being launched
This queer looking craft attracts a great
deal Of notice. 1t is one hundred and
eighty feet long and only sixteen ieet
wide !; has no keel nor cut-water, no
blunt bow standing up aboTe the water,
line to receive blows from the sea, and
DO fat deck to hold, or bulwark to re-
tain water. She has four high pressure
engines with boilers like those of a loco
motive. Being built entirely of iron,
she will be fire proof. and from the num-
Der of her water-tight compartments, 1t
is thought she will be comparatively free
from danger of sinking, in case OF COILS
ion. Her form, also, is such as to make
her stronger than usual, and also AFFORDS
| the least possible hold for the wind u
waves.
The Baltimore Sun describes the pro-
pelling machinery as follows: "Take
a plain fat ring off your finger and run 1t
on to the middle of a cigar, upon Wnicn
it is to ~revolve freely bya power applied
inside, which in the vessel consists Of
four steam engines placed amldsnlp:-
Now to this ring attach at equai us'
tances all around it iounces at an angle
adapted to act upon the water as propei,,
lers. striking the water by the swift aDo
nowerful revolution of the wheel around
the BODY of the vessel. This wheel Is
covered all around by a belt OF iroI
broad enough to enclose the wheela and ex.
tend some four feet on each side beyond
it this belt is supported by plates o
iron standing edgewise from tho surface
of the vessel to which they are rivited
These plates of iron divide the space IN
der the belt on each side of the whee
into compartments, and these eompart
y, ments above the water line are agarI
closed at the side next the wheel, shut
ting it entirely from view. Below thu
J, water line they are of course open tt
admit the free action of the wheel upor

20 ucsuI. in ola Licking.

The complete success of our entire
county ticket at the recent election,
places Licking county thoroughly in the
hands of tie Democracy for the first
time siuce the election of 1853 In the
Know Nothing excitement OF 1854, the
Democracy of Licking were defeated by
a majority of fourteen hundred;, and as
late as the year 1856, the Opposition
succeeded in re-electipg their Know
Nothing Republican Sheriff. In 1857,
they failed TO carry a single Office; and
this year, they lose the only remaining
position on which they still retained
their gripc. This result has not arisen
from any lack Of zeal, effort, or determi-
nation on the part of Republican politi-
clans. They were sleepless in their Wig
lance. untiring in their efforts, and I'M
~scrupulous in the use of means by which
they Strove for success. But it has gil
resulted in a disastrous defeat to the
Opposition. Their highest, fondest hopes
have been dashed to the ground. Lick
ing county can never again be Republi
can.
The only means by which the Demo
cratic a~scendency can be permanently
maintained are thus plainly stated by
the AdUocate::
1.-THE reign Of blind fanaticism is
over; and the Democracy, to remain
permanently In the ascendant, have only
TO keep themselves properly guarded
from the falsehoods and receptions with
which the Opposition are ceaselessly
striving to impose on those of our friends
who omit the regular a0eekly peruSGt Of
q Democratic nei0Spaper. Let them
look to this danger. aud by guarding eff
fectively against it, fewer honest Demo
Gratis will be deceived by Republican
knaves--less labor be required for secu-
ring an efficient Experimentation
voters be willing to stay away from the
polls--and The general vigor and strength
of the party be intellectually promoted"
Every intelligent Democrat will com
prehend the force of these remarks
They arc so well understood by the OPP
position leaders in this county, that an
organized effort has been put OF foot to
cripple, and, if possible, break down the
Ashland Union This paper is regard
ed as q stumbling block in their path.
During the last twenty years, We have
succeeded in casting a few obstacles in
the way of the enemies of the Democrat
ic party-and although u press has
been frequently threatened with demoli-
ton, it yet survives, and has not, we
hope, fought its last battle 10 defence OF
the principles and ticket of the Demo
cratic party.

Democratie ConEraturation

Pursuant to notice, o conslderapie
number of Democrats assembled at the
Court House CD Thursday night last to
mingla their congratulations over the re-
suit of the late election in this county.
VIM. PoRTEE, of YermillioD, was call
ed to the Chair, and Fl S. MEAD, of Sui
liyan, was chosen Secretary.
The meeting was ably addressed BY
J. j. JACOBS, JAMES S%wINEFokD, DIR. L.
l.. CRANE, T. G. BUSHNELL. aud j. d.
JONES. The scope of the remarks made
wero to the same general pOint:-that,
although the Democracy of Ashland
county never passed through such an
| ordeal--neyer in any former contest en-
countered such a combination of open
and secret f~oes;--Net that the smoke of
battle being cleared away, discovered
the total and utter discontinue of tue
opposition hosts, and the ascendancy of
the old and tried Democracy. The con
clusion of the whole matter was, that the
Democratic party of Ashland county,
having been fore8arned, were now fore
armed: and that, thankful for their
charlottesville 'scal e" from the perlls
that threatened them, they would hence
forth GO TO WORK-xnd, having
now succeeded with an honest ticket,
and by honest means, against all the
isms and factions that could be arrayed
against them, the party would in future
prevail against any combination which
its enemies could bring into the field.
After the conclusion of the speeches.
and as the meeting was about to adjourn,
a resolution was read, pointing at the
leader of the segment of men who have
heretofore generally acted with the Dem
~ocratic party, but who. from motives as
!, well known to the Democracy of Ashland
county as to themselves, co-operated
with the Republicans il their efforts
against a portion of our county ticket.
Some discussion was had upon thi;
!, resolution, which showed that the gene
!. raj feeling of those present was, that
iuasmuch as the Democratic party hat
been victoyious, it could afford to b.
, eENERoUs--aad that the beat way was
to leave all it's enemies TO the upbrald
