THE ELECTIONS and their Lesson


Under this head the last Wing treats
it's readers to half a column, in which
We find "Kansas,"" "a corrupt Admins.
tration," and asgreat deal more that we
have heard for the last two or three
years. 1t is simply a rehash of the
estate, fat and Improbable" stuff With
which the Republican papers have been
filed for sometime past, and being such
is unworthy of any particular notice.
sThe Elections do teach a lesson to
Democrats, but not the kind of a lesson
the opposition read. They teach them
that. success cannot attend upon bicker-
ings and divisions-thatapathy and care
lessness arc sure to bring defeat-that
"one vote" makes a difference-that In
union and harmony alone strength IS to
be found, and lastly, that if we would
succeed in 1860 in keeping a party out
of power that has never held it but to
abuse it we must buckle on our armor,
forget the differences that may have ex-
isted in the past. arouse ourselves to ac-
! Ii u and march up to the attack IN a sO.-
id aud United body, actuated by one COM
mon feeling aud bent upon the accom-
plishmeDt of one common purpose
These arc some of the lessons they teach,
and we trust the Democracy of the couu-
ty and the State will commit them to
memory and have them at their tongues
end when the time for action shall ar
rive. We nave the consolation of know
ing that previous to the campaign which
closed SO disastrously to the true and
tried we did nothing to widen the breach.
We couuselled peace and harmony
We conceded to every man the right to
entertain and x ress his own opinions
about the Kansas question or any other:
we did deprecate the permitting any
differences of opinion to operate against
the general welfare of the party. As
we said then we say now-we cannot
see how Democrats hope to better mat
tiers by running into the opposition, or
by creating divisions in our wi ranks
of which our opponents can take advan
tage. How must the Democrats in
Pennsylvania who voted against the
State ticket feel when they hear the OPP
position exulting and claiming the result
as a Republican victory? 1t there are
any such in the Borough of Mercer
their feelings must nave been pleasant
when they heard Republicans, the mex
night after the election. cheering certain
men in the State who took an active part
for Buchanan III 1856. They were as
suredly taught q lesson that will do
them good in the future-and make them
hesitate before putting weapons in the
hands of the enemy to be used against
themselves. The elections are prolific
in useful lessons to the Democracy, and
unless there are men among US claiming
to be Democrats who desire to see the
party overthrown and the rule of Re-
publicanism established, they will be
heeded.-Merccr (Pa Dem Reg.

THE COUNTY JAIL During the past
summer it vas discovered that the floors
and other timber connected with the
cells of the Jail had become so damaged
by time, aud in consequence of defects
in the original construction, that it was
an unsafe place in which to lodge pris-
oners. So insecure had the Jail become,
that it was necessary to send the county
prisoners to Mansfield, at large expense,
for safe keeping.
The interior of the Jail, therefore,
was entirely thrown out, and everything
connected with the building, except tho
roof and the attic floor has now been
rebuilt.
Our only experience about Jail mat
tiers was that obtained from a residence
in the Jail of Putnam county some years
since. We were domiciled in that iusti-
tuition, if cur memory serves ms rightly,
about two years. Our friend VAIL. who
is now Sheriff of that county, and who
was formerly Deputy Sheriff, can give
dates and particulars.
But to come back to our Ashland
County jail:--It is, SO far as security,
comfort and health of prisoners and of
eff GERS are concerned, the best we have
ever seen. Public economy aud hu-
have been consulted il the Nhole
arraugement,-and too much credit can
BOT be awarded the Commissioners of
the County for the wise and faithful
manoer in which they have discharged
their duties.

LECTURES ON GEoLoGY.-We are in
formed that Rev. T E. H1LDRETH, at
the suggestion of a large number OF
friends, will deliver a series of Lectures
upon the subject of Geology-commen-
cling on Tuesday evening, December Z,
at the Town Hall.
The subject of the first Lecture will
be-"The agencies which have pro-
duced the variety of appearances in the
Esrth's Surface"
The proceeds of the Lectures will be
applied to the completion of the recent
improEements on .he Methodist Church
Building.
The scheme and the motive are praise
worthy, and we anticipate for Mr.. HIL
DRKyH large audiences. There are few
gentlemen better qualified than him for
the task he has undertaken. Il will be
the duty, as it will doubtless be the
pleasure, ofal1 the friends Of the Church
dmprovemeDt-and that, of course, EN-
braces the whole community-to give
aid and encouragement to this enterprise.
The price of admission will be merely
nominal, and will be announced hereafter.
