The Republican the White Mans

The Lebanon Star very truthfully re-
marks that "thore is nothing moro alb
surd and untrue than the charge made
by the Democracy that the Republicans
ignore the interests Of the white man,
and make the negro the only issue
The interest Of the white laboring man
is one of the fundamental principles
of our party, While the Democratic
party, gooded on by the interests Of slave
ry, labor to extend slavery and build up
the interests Of slavoocraoy at the oz-
pense Of the poor laboring man, the Re
publican party labor to stay it whore il

homes for the free and Industrious
While the Republicans, in Congress,
we're laboriug to pass the Homestead
Bill giving a home to the landless
whites, the Democracy labored to defeat
it, and at the same time laboTing fOl
more slave territory that the niggerless
might have more niggors. Still the ne
grofobia Democracy claim that they arc

charge that we are his enemies, and Civ

The Price Of Grain.

We arc in possession of half a score
or more of letters from as many differ
ent farmers in the West, asking the
opinion Of the Press and Tribune as to
the prospective prices Of grain. While
we acknowledge the compliment paid to
the commercial character Of the paper
by the writer's, VIC must leave their in
quirios unanswered, except as we say
that prices will uuavoidably rule low
We advise no man to SELL no man to
hold on for a rise The wisdom of doing
the one thing or the other each produ-
ccr must decide for himself But we
entreat all who are harrassed by debt
to lose no time in disposing Of their
crops wheneversthey can do so, and Sc
cure for themselves the cost of produc-
tion and a living profit on their invest
ment. An easy conscience, and exemp-
ton from the visits of the constable or
sheriff, are more to be coveted than the
tip-top figure which all are anxious to
obtain. Beyond general answer like
the above, we have nothing for those

this quarter; but our larmer lIlehus VIII

WHEAT TURNING TO CHESS. This
interminable subject having again turn
cd up, we have received any amount OF
supposition and assertion. Our cores
pondent, "W. o. p, sent us a stool of
wheat and chess, which he thought
would fix us. To be sure the investi-
CATION would be fairly treated, we gave
the stool to Mr. Klippart, of the State
Board, who put it in a cup of water at
noon, and several hours after we exam
ined it together. The stool consisted of
four stalks Of wheat oncircling four
of chess, all seeming to spring from the
same root. Mr.. X. opened the circle
of wheat stalks and took out the stool
of chess, without breaking a fibre of
root, showing plainly that there was not
the least vital connection between the
roots of the wheat and the chess, but
that each had grown from its own seed;
and this is the result Of every such in
vestigation that we ever heard Of Ohio
CultivatOr.

"Whon rogues fall out, honest men
got their due, so ruuuoth the old ad-
age. An article in the Richmond En-
quircr, paper very vigilant in the sup
port of Gov. Wise for President, lets
off the following, which we commend
to tho prayorful consideration of the
faithful, who so heartily supported Buck
and Breck:
Every one acquainted with "Wash-
ington affairs" knows that the paper
published in Washington as the organ
of the Administration, is kept alive by
forced contributions levied on the Office
holders, and by its share of tho forty
thousand dollars allowed for printing
blanks, the whole cost Of which is five
thousand dollars, leaving thirty-fve
thousand dollars for distribution.
Itis equally we'll known that no edi-
torial appears in that paper which is
not fully approved by the President,
and it is generally believed many Of the
articles are from his pen. The nomin-
al editor would not dare to say or do
anything in conflict with the wishes of
our "model President"

Democratic and Republican Admin
istration of the State Government
COmpared--Wh Which Party has been
most Faithful to the Public Inter
estsP
Tn a recent number of the Hillsboro
Gazette, under the editorial head, Oc-
ours this statement:
"The Republicans fully realize that
their days of mismanagemont of our
State affairs are about numbered, and
that the intelligent people of Ohio will
no longer suffer them to curse our State
by their misrule."
This is one of that loose and indef-
mite kind of paragraphs which partisan
editors turn of to order, without troub-
ling themselves with being very specific
in their statements. How the Republi-
cans have mismanaged our State affairs
we arc not told, what instance Of misrule
they have been guilty of we arc not in
formed. Let us recur TO q few points
in the management Of our State affairs,
in order that we may have some light
upon the important question of who has
been guilty of "mismanagemont' and
| "cursed the State with misrule,"
The Democratic party, or that which
assumes to call itself Democratic, claim
cd that the new Constitution of Ohio,
after its adoption, should be placed Gin
4 the hands of it's friends, to carry out
| its provisions, and mould and adapt the
legislation of the State to the new order
of things established by it. Accord
ingly, for four years after It's adoption,
our State continued under the rule Of
this party-from 1852 onwards. They
had the Legislature, they had the Exec,
utive, they had the Judiciary, during
this period. They had the arrangement
of the whole system Of taxation, the
custody and disbursement Of the public
revenue. There was in this period of
time rapid increase Of taxation While
the treasury was filed by this rapid in
crease Of taxation, there was no legisla-
ton whatever for the regulation Of the
treasury in the receipt, safe keeping and
disbursement Of the public funds. This
party neglected, during the whole tern

That the Administration of James

management and corruption, has for
