HON. Thomins r1enns.

1t is our pleasure this week to place at tie
head ofour paper the name of this gentleman as
the Democratic candidate for Congress for this
campaign, where it will stnd until the second
Tuesday of October, at which time he will le
triumphantly elected. Mr.. Means has served
the Democracy and the people in this part of
the State in various relations-frst as Member
of the Legislature-next as Judge of this Judi
cial District, in eachof which he gained a repu-
tation for soundness OF Judgment and honesty
of purpose, rarely attained by but few men.
Upon all questions dividing the two great par
ties of the country Judge MEANS has always
voted for the time honored principles of the
Democratic party, and judging from his well
known antecedents, we have no doubt his votes
in Congress will give that'gcneral satisfaction in
the future which his ccurse-ssaw~4enocrat in
the past has always given.
As between the candidates, he was the deci-
ded choice of not only this county, but a large
majority OF the District, as the proceedings of
the Convention show conclusively His nomi-
nation is compliment to the Democracy of
Jefferson county, and we assure our friends in
in the other counties of the District, that they
will show their appreciation Of it by giving him
and the whole ticket not less than five hun
dred majority this fall.
Union. loving men Of this District, we pre-
sent you n candidate who is neither an Aboli-
zionist nor sectional mana candidate who
will not wage war upon the South. Choose
between these candidates. -Steu Union

Gen. Eckley, an old line Wing, known to
every person in this D strict, attended the Dem
ocratic Convention at Harlem on the 10th, and
address the Democracy. Gen. Eckley, in COM
mon with great many old Wings, have left
the Abolition party-they stood it as long as
they could, and only left it when they ound
that the Hup they were always expected to
play on had but one string, which sounded
N7gger oil the time, they concluded to quit the
"consarn, and it is for this reason that old
Wings intend to vote with the Democracy
from this out until the Abolition party are dis
solved. We do not say, that Gen. Eckley and
scores Of Wings who attended our Congressional
Convention, intended to join the Democratic
party forever, but that they will act with US
because our principles touching all Nationa
questions come nearer to theirs than the on
idea which the rugged issue" man "the Kin!

MORE OPPOSITION DISHONESTY
Postscript for sherman's Speech.

AS the Opposition orators and press of this
State, have all at once, become very clamorous
for honesty and economy in the conducting oi
our governmental affairs, and are denouncing the
Democracy as being 'recklessly extrayagant"
and exceedingly corrupt" We publish below a
couple oftables, which, carefully perused can
not fail to convince every one, that John Sher-
man and the Opposition leaders, are but using
their present cry OF Economy as the burglar
uses the cry of"stop thief when fleeing from
the officers ofjustice. By the tables which we
publish, and which may be relied upon as cor
rect, it will be seen that TWENTY out Of the
twenty-one Opposition members FRONT his State,
in the GIN Congress, have been more or less
guilty of charging 'extra" or constructive"
mileage and that the aggregate amount thus
taken, by the delegation from our State alone,
turing the Congress alluded to, foots up about
FIVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
The law regulating the mileage of members, al
lows them IS for every 20 miles travel in going
to, and returning from session Of Congress, or
at the rate of forty cents per mile, the distance
to be computed by the usually travelled route
between the members home, and the seat of
Government. The following table shows the
residence ofeach member, the number of miles
charged for each trip, the official distance as
taken from the records of the Post Office De-
partment and the excess Of miles charged for
in each caSe
The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1858-09-22

in favor Of ertrd mileage, as was the Opposition
delegation from this State in the 3+th Con-
gress. And now these men-these same mel
who have given to the country such glaring
proofs of their dishonesty and unworthiness-
are appealing to the people to place their party
again in power, in order that they may inaugu-
rate 'honesty and economy in official posi-
tions. Well may the people cry out "save us
from any more of your honesty-any further
evidence of you' economy"
1t i'll becomes John Sherman, or any other
prominent Republican ofour State to talk about
aextraTagance and corruption" The records
of the 34th Congress, in which the Democracy
were in large minority, would fill, ifannalyzed,
page after page, with specimens of extravaganza
and dishonesty, to which the above is but as
"a drap in the bucket" From the commence
ment OF the session to the end, land and money
were voted away with an abandon never before
witnessed, or equalled, in legislative assembly.
People Of Ohio, we ask you in all candor, is
party whose leaders are so dishonest worthy
of your further confidence? Can you as honest
lreemen vyte for the continuance Of such men
in office?

Rgack ReDHbI;cam ECONOMY!

I The Treasury thieves of the Opposition, says
an exchange, are continually bowling about the
extravaganza of Democratic officers IN their ad
ministration of public affairs, in the hope ofdi
verting public attention from their own whole
sale robberies, which no Democratic official has
ever been able to approach. AS an instance,
we cite the following: Under the supervision
ofa Democrat, the line Of Canal from Cincinnati
to Dayton, was superintended at coast OF
$500 per annum, but the Black Republican
Canal Commissioner having that branch of our
public improvements under his charge, dismiss.
ed the Democrat, and appointed three supern-
tendents in his place to perform the same a
mount OF Service that the Democrat did, at sal
ary of $500 each, thus bleeding the State
Treasury to the tune Of $1,000 for mere party
purposes, at time, too, when the Opposition
presses are teaming with lies in regard to Dem.
ocratc extravagance.

Beyond the malice which prompted it, the
motive of this contemplate slander is cas- y
discovered, Forney thinks it would be glory
enouglD for him (and SO it would) to have a
question of yeracity with the President, even il
the President should convict him of rlsehood.
He hopes that Mr.. Buchanan would be indu-
ced to come down AMI personally notice him by
a contradiction. Failing in that, he could at all
events boasted that the President of the United
States had associated him with Douglas and
upon whose support the success of his admins
tration depended. But he has missed it in ev-
cry way. The whole story is palpably false
upon its face in evere linz, word and letter and no
man Of common sense will believe it for mo-
ment. He has gibbetted himself as calumni
ator. There he hangs, in the fac, ofthe pub
lie, and there he must stay, for his abolition al
lies are not able to take him down.
The story he tells of the cabinet meeting is
like the account Of his own conversation, who
ly fabulous. We venture to assert that Mr.
Walker never authorized any one to say that
he insuIted the President and cabinet by ex-
pressing suspicion that they would behave
treacherously. Nor is Forney's silly roorback
about the dissenting member being taken out
into an adjoining room warranted by anything
which Mr.. Walker is capable Of utterlng. That
gentleman can easily be called on if Mr.. For.
ney thinks he will sustain him. But he never
will be called on for any such purpose.
Mr.. Forney's disenterestedness is a subject
on which he dilates with great JUNCTION. We
might reply to that if we thought proper. But
for the present we shall dismiss him to the con.
tempt he deserves Washington Union.

Thus will it be perceived that but one out of
tie entire delegation, was content with taking on
ly the amount to which he was fairly and le-
gally entitled. A person would naturally sup
pose that the giving Of FORTY CENTS MILE, in
this day OF rapid and cheap travelling, would be
sufficiently liberal to satisfy the most rapacious
but the Opposition members from this State did
not consider 1t so. Let US take Cincinnati for
example That city is distant from Washing
ton SIS miles, which can be travelled in thirty
hours, at a cost Of S25 or less. For this trip
member OF Congress is legally entitled to re-
ceive $23I,20 clear profit Of over two hun
dred dollars;-thus in thirty hours ride max
ing as much, if not more, than the hard work.
ing laboring man can make in whole year.
But yet, this did not satisfy the members from
Cincinnati, and they each took more than they
were entitled to receive. So it was with all
the other Districts in the State, save one. As
we have stated, the aggregate amount Illegally
and dishonesty taken from the National Treas
ury, blythe Opposition members from this State,
during the 34th Congress; foots up to within a
fraction of five thousand five hundred dollars,
or on an average, for the q members of $261,-
711Hs each, Now, suppose every member Of
that Congress had taken as much ertra, as did
our Ohio members, and it would have amount
ed to the enormous sum OF EIGHTY THOUS-
AND SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX
DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS, for that one
Congress And yet, these men have now the
mpudence to proclaim in favor of "honesty and
economy" and charge "extravaganoe and cor
ruption" upon a Democratic Administration!
Look at ] ohm Sherman, who has been set up as
the leader in this reform and economical move
ment! Who, after reading his late speech,
would believe that he had been guilty of taking
ONE II HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO DOL
LARS out of the National Treasury, to which
he had no honest claim9 And this is the man
who was selected to convince the PEOPLE that
the Opposition is the very embodiment Of hon
esty, and that the Democrat party is corrupt!

But they have left a posterity which was as
ready as any, in the day of battle at Monterey
and the other fields Of Mexico, to vindicate the
