The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1858-09-08

W The Herald in speaking of US in
connexion with the law for semi-annual
collection of taxes says:
"If it is good law why did he vote
against it. If q bad law why defend it.
If the defense is denied, let few of the
last numbers of the Spirit decide"
Among all those who read our expla-
nation of this matter there is probably
not one except the Herald editor so stupid
as not to have understood US, but for its
especial benefit we will explain it again,
Suppose you, Mr.. Herald, were to as
sert that there had been fifty murders
committed in this county within year,
and that we would deny it. Suppose
then that you, in order to make people
believe what pou said, were to 60 around
eve-dropping, or would otherwise hear
private conversations, and that then you
would suppress part of those converse
tions, and grossly misrepresent the rest
and by these means make kind of plau.
sibility for your statements: Suppose then
that we would publish the truth about the
whole matter, the conversations included:
We ask, could we then be charged with
defending murder? Or if we had been in
the Legislature and voted for the statute
Furnishing murder, could we be charged
with inconsistency when we disproved
your statements?
We voted against the law because we
had objections to it, and we never have
said we were in favor of it. We have
only been showing up the character of the
Herald, and used the law as an instru.
ment for that purpose. Do you under.

Old GiddingS Defeated.

The Republicans of Giddings' district
have held their convention and "superan-
uated" the old man. There was q valiant
effort made to nominate him, but it would
not wit. The vote on the last ballot stood
as follows:
John Hutchins, 40
Joshua r. Giddings, 81
r.. W. Taylor, 2
Jesse Baldwin,
"Things is workin" Even in as strong
a Republican district as Giddings' it ap.
pears they are afraid of the change that is
taking place on the nigger question:
Tom. Corwin, who is no Republican, was
nominated by them for similar reason
Everything indicates that the time is rap
idly approaching when the Republican
party will be divided, one portion going
the whole Abolition figure, and the res
attaching themselves to the Know Moth
ings, rallying under new name, and ad
vocating different measures.

Congressional Convention.

The Congressional Convention at Barn
esville, on last Tuesday was, without ex-
ception, the most harmonious we ever wit
messed there. There was not single
disturbing element in it. All the delegates
were disposed to stand up in good faith
to the rule adopted six years ago; and al
though few votes were cast for persons
outside of Noble county, they were in
tended merely as complimentary, and not
with any intention of depriving Noble
county other right under the rule.
The convention was very largely attend
cd. Our own county was doubly repre-.
sented.
The resolutions were adopted with en-
tire unanimity, after which Mr.. LAWRENCE
was called upon, and spoke an hour, pour
ing hot shot into the Republican camp
Mr.. SpR1aas was then called upon, and he
made speech, which gave everybody {
high opinion of his abilities. Especially
those who were unacquainted with him be-
fore were agreeably surprised. Boil
speakers were loudly and frequently ap
plauded.

Benjamin F. Spriggs, of Noble coun-
ty, having received majority of all the
votes cast, was declared duly nominated
On motion of H. E. Purdy, of Belmont
county, the nomination of Benjamin F.
Spriggs was declared unanimous.
On motion Messrs Robert M'Burney,
VIM. Eaton and John S. Way, were ap-
pointed committee to wait on the Hon.
Lawrence and request him to address the
Convention.
The Committee on Resolutions report
ed the following, which on motion were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Democracy of the
18th Congressional District of Ohio, in
Convention assembled, do hereby re-en-
dorss and pledge their devotion to the
principles of the National Democracy, as
laid down in the Cincinnati Convention
in 1856, and as e-afirmed by the late
Democratic State Convention.
Resolced, That we have full and undi-
minished confidence in the integrity, patri.
otism and Democracy of the Hon. VIM.
Lawrence, our Representative in Gong: Tess,
from this District, and from his devotion
and attachment to Democratic principles,

as such member, deservesand is eminently
entitled from his constituents, to the need
of praise of well done good and faithful
servant @
Resolved That we pledge our undivid-
ed support to the nominee of this conven-
tion, and to use all honorable means to
secure his election.
The Committee appeared and intro
duced MIR. Lawrence, who occupied the
attention of the Convention a brief time
in patriotic and well accepted speech.
The same committee were also instruct
ed to wait upon the Hon. B. f. Spriggs,
the nominee of the Convention, and re-
quest his presence.
Mr.. Lawrence introduced Mr.. Spriggs
as his successor. Mr.. Spriggs in briel
and pertinent speech accepted the nomi-
nation, and pledged his utmost efforts fol-
the good old cause of Democracy
On motion of Mr.. Smith, of Belmont
county, the resolution passed six years
ago, by which each county in the District
were entitled to nominee before any
county should have a second nominee, was
rescinded.
On motion of Mr. Burson, it was re-
solved that the proceedings of this meet
ing be published in all the Democratic
papers of the district and the Ohio States
man.
On motion the convention adjourned.

GAINESVILLE Intelllgencer.

We are indeed glad to find that this
neat and sprightly paper is again started.
1t was little surprising that the people
of Barnesville and vicinity ever suffered
it to 60 down. 1t is strange that SO large
number of persons do not appreciate the
advantages of newspaper to town OF
village. The people of Barnesville had
better-even if they look only to its ad.
vantage to them as community--sustair
paper by a tax on the corporation than
to have no paper. The hnteAigencer is 9
paper which would do credit to any place
Its editorials exhibit gracefulness and life
and its selections show taste and Industry
1t should, by all means, be literally sus.
tanned.

~ Some time since we published an
account of the expulsion of Ex-President
Commonfort, of Mexico, from public
table in Virginia, on account Of rudeness
in seating himself before the ladies had
obtained places. AS the General has the
character and appearance of perfect
gentleman, the offair appeared very sin.
gular to us. 1t now turns out that the
Ex- President of Mexico was in New
York at the time, and the person expelled
from the Virginia table was pretendel
who was sporting his name.

Benjamin f. Spriggs.

The nomination of this gentleman by
the Barnesville Congressional Convention,
gives entire satisfaction. Every one who
knows him is willing to attest his ability,
his gentlemanly department, and above
all his sterling integrity.
Mr.. SPRIGGs has not obtained as much
notoriety as some others in the district.
but this is not because of his want of
merit. He is young yet, being, we sup
pose, between thirty and thirty-fve. He
started in the world under adverse cir.
misunderstanding law during the time
he could spare from the tailor's bench.
Having gained admission to the bar, he
commenced practice among strangers,
depending solely on his merit for his sue
cess. This is very different from the msn
who commences life with all the influence
of wealth and wealthy friends to aid him.
In the one case the man has all the ad-
vantages of q reputation to commence
with, and in the other be has his whole
reputation to make by his own efforts.
Mr.. SPRIGGs has succeeded not only in
establishing good reputation as law
yer, but also as an honorable and upright
man. There is no body of men among
which he would not command a respecta-
BILE position. He is sound Democrat,
not violent, bu. firm and unyielding like
an honest man who knows that be is in
the right. -

W The Wheeling InteMgencer, spea

H The Wheeling InteMgencer, speak
ing of the Barnesville Convention, says:
"Our distinguished, but now extin.
guished friend Bill Lawrence, was before
the convention-but in spite of his own,
and all the efforts Of his friends, he went
under"
Anything farther from the truth than
the above could not be conceived Of Mr..
LAWRENCE instead of laboring to obtain
the nomination, stated, not only at the
convention, but repeatedly before the
convention, that he would not be candi-
date unless Noble county voluntarily con-
sented to the abolition of the rule giving
the nominee 10 the counties alternately.
There was not delegate in that conven-
ton but knew Mr.. LAWRENCE was not a
candidate, Notwithstanding which several
votes were cast for him. Votes were cast
for others outside of Noble county, but
the gentlemen for whom they were cast,
would not have accepted the nomination
without Noble county's consent.
1t the I',tethgencer would like to know
what that convention thought of Mr..
LAWRENCE let it read the resolution en-
dorsing him passed by unanimous cote.
If the hatelRgemcer was mislnformed as
to the statement above, we trust it will
make full amends; it can certainly have
no interest in doing Mr.. LAWRENCE injus-
tice. .. a.

Our County Ticket.

We had no room last week to say a
single word in regard to our county ticket.
Most of the nominees are we'll known to
the people, and need no recommendation.
MARTIN L. BOWSER
our nominee for Auditor, is admirably
qualified for the position. He is frank,
pleasant and accommodating, upright in
his dealings, and is very correct and
rapid business man. We have no doubt
that his career in the office will be emf.
nently satisfactory to everybody interested
DANIEL WALTON
our candidate for Clerk, is very we'll known
He has been doing the business of the
Clerks Office for years as deputy, and every
one is entirely satisfied with the manner in
which he has done the business. The
fact of his having no opposition in the
convention is recommendation enough fol
him.
DANIEL O'CONNOR
our candidate for Recorder, is the choice
of everybody for that position. We dc
not believe there are ten men in Monroe
county who would be willing to see the
old man O'Connor removed from the Re.
corder's Office Many of the Republicans
will, of course, vote against him, but very
few of them would do so if they supposed
their votes would defeat him.
THOMAS MITCHELL, our candidate for
Commissioner, and JOHN KERR, our can.
didate for Infrmary Director, are known
to almost every voter in the county. They
are among the foremost and best men il
the county, as the people have severa
times decided. .e.
The ticket is very excellent one, and
there is not, as we believe, man on it tt
whom any Democrat can reasonably oh
ject. We have no doubt that every maj
on it is perfectly satisfactory, Throughout
the county.

MEXICO.


The New Orleans papers have Mexican
news to the Sd from the capital, and to
the llth from Tampico. It is about the
only rational piece of Iutelligence from
that government that has been received
for two weeks past, and while it is Of little
political moment, it nevertheless refutes
the many rumors that have been published
about battles and revolutions there, with
out number Zuloaga is still at the head
of the government. His tenure Of power.
however. is feebly held, and an overthrow
of his administration is almost duly ex-
pected. The liberal troops were concen.
trating as rapidly as possible, and were
only waiting flor the advance of some Of
the Northern forces to make decisive
movement. ~

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.

Tue newspapers mentioned the other
day that General Cass had left Washing.
ton, to be present at his daughters we'd.
ding, in Stonington, Conn.,. to the Minis
ter from the Netherlands, Van Limburg.
A letter from that town says of the affair,
which came off on the gath: -s tz-'7
The ceremony took place in Calvary
church, very neat Episc opal church, the
rector, Rev. Daniel G. Merton, officiating.
Though occurring in the church ediGce, it
was strictly private. About two o'clock
in the afternoon the bride entered, escort
ed by her father and followed by NJ. Van
Limburg aud two of General Cass' mar
ried daughters-Mrs. Garfield and Mrs.
Ledyard--together with Mr.. Ledyard
and his family, and NJ: Zimmerman, the
New York Consul for the Netherlands.
The bride was dressed in neat silk
travelling suit, Of the color of ashes of
rose, and light French hat of mazarine
blue. From her appearance, I should
judge the blooming bride to be about
fcrty years of age. N. Van Limburg
appeared to much advantage. Every
thing was conducted in the most simple
and unostentatious manner.

THE CONTEST IN ILLINOIS.

The contest in Illinois has become in
tensely exciting. The result is looked
for with as much anxiety, both in and
out of that State, as it was at the late
presidential election, The vote there de-
termines whether DOUGLAS is to be again
elected to the u S. Senate. The Re.
publicans together with faction of Le-
comptonites, are straining every nerve 20
defeat him. But increasing difficulties
seem only to increase his power. At
first LINCOLN, the Republican candidate
for the Seuate, was sent into the field
against him, but it was soon found that
would not do, and Senator TRUMBUL
was dispatched in hot haste to aid LIN
COLIN. Since then re-inforcements have
been constantly hurrying to the conflict
FRANK BLAIR. who was defeated in
St. Louis, together with many Others have
gone into the State, all assaulting DoU.
GLAs with the most bitter hostility. He
walks among them like q lion among
wolves-beating them down wherever he
meets them. There is heroism in the
condnct of DOUGLAS worthy of all admi-
ration. He can defeat any of his foes
with their own welding with
equal skill and effect the battle axe of
Richard or the cimeter of Saladin. He
eminently deserves success for his valor,
and his defeat would be calamity to his
country as we'll as to himself

A HOUSE, SMOKE. HOUSE AND WELL,
SLIDING INTO THE MISSOURI The St.
Joseph Journal of the Goth inst relates
the following strange event as having just
occurred:
On the goth inst, between three. quar-:
ters and an acre of land slid in the river
in the bottom, about half mile below
this city, carrying with it one-story
brick building, containing four rooms
with all the appurtenances attached there
to, The building was occupied by Mr.,
Charles Tillman, his wife. and six child
ren. The family had just sat down to.
dinner, when they heard a rumbling noise
in the rear. They barely had time to-
spring to their feet and make their escape,
out of the door, before the entire struc--
ture was mass Of ruins. The family
lost pretty much all they possessed in. the
way of furniture and clothing. The bull
ding was situated about fifty feet from
the bank before the slide happened. The
smoke house and we'll slid out into the
river with the land, both keeping their re-
spective positions. - s's3sas '#ss
