Have We a Democratic Party Among Tst

hoNe we Il DemocratiC iury Among Ist
The democratic papers generally have given
currency to the report of democratic State
convention, said to have been held in tins city
of Columbus aud have exalted a certain demo
cratic ticket ostensibIy put in nomna ticn by
that pretended democratic convention. We
observe by democratic paper of the stratest
sect the Zauesville Aurora that the demo-
cratic convention was a myth, and the demo
cratic ticket nothing but nondescrpt fusion
concern. That rising uminary says;
'On the 26h day of May old Line Wings
and Democrats met IN Columbus and nominated
ticket of honest and capable Democrats and
old Wings
Old line Wings and Dcmocratsw - Demo
Gratis meekly taking the rear after the old line
whigs-most appropriate arrangement
After resisting the vigorous assaults Of whig-
gely through a war of thee times the duration
OF the siege Of troy, democracy has finally sue
cumbed to its ancient enemy Stratagem has
achieved what thirty years war failed to do
The wooden horse of whEgerry has been admit
ted within the democratic walls and out Of lis
bowels have emerged the ancient warriors OF
thetparty, and--to cut short narrative that
is growing pathetic-democracy tnt whiggery-
est
| The rosy fingered deity Of GAINESVILLE, who
evidently regards democracy as rapidly sinking
in the West, continues his appeal to the old line
| wings, to give the democracy lift
"Od Line Wings! Wherever you may have
wandered in your political orphanage we now
present you with ticket and platform, both
Of which you can support heartily without do,
ing violence to your feelings or to the memory
of your great and immortal chieltains, Clay and
Webster"
"Old line whig orphans!' r brothers in afIlic-
ton mutual af1liction should make us bediel-
lows let US lit up our voices together and la
ment your "great and immortal chieltains, Clay
and Webster '-now democratic saints!
| Democrats and Old Line Wings, your Con
vention Of May Goth nominated Tor Governor
! Hon. Rufus P. Ranney, formerly of Trumbull,
now of Cuyahoga county, one OF the best men,
one of the most honest, healthy intellects that
our State ever possessed. A man Of whom you
can all be descrvedly proud, and for whom you
can work with the most fiery energy without
fear of OVERRIDING the case-he is worthy of your
best lcks."
YOur convention, orphaned old line wings
HonorS are easy! We divide them with you,
and there will be nothing 10 count. You may
go at it, without fear of OVERRIDING the case =
Most safe and carefully constructed assertion
There is no sort of danger of OVERRIDING that
case. Here is another worm with which the
aurora bats the democratic hook for old line
whigs
"Wm, H. Stafford, an Old Line Wing, and
now State Senator from Ross County District
was nominated for Lieutenant Governor, is a
young man OF fine character and talents, who is
every way worthy of the position for which he
is in nomination, and with the cool, honest
head and heart of Judge RanneY to guide him
we may consider our gubernatoria matters in
safe hands,
An old line whig to preside over the Senate
with an old line democrat to guide him. A
new arrangement Cannot Mr.. Safford be
trusted? Or must old line wings who take the
democratic bait have guide
Imagine the spirit of Old Hickory revisiting
the glimpses of the moon and overhearing the
last runnings of great party exating his an,
cient enemies, Webster and Clay and whining
for old line wings to help them out of the insig-
niicance to viii, h their own impotence and
folly have sunk them

A gentleman just returned from st. Mary 5
Auglaize county, Informs us that five Germans
who were drowned in the reservoir, last week
We're very much intoxicated at the time. Where
they fell into the water there were logs lying
around in abundance, and had they been sober
they could certainly have saved themselves
lie learned from bystanders, that after the cat
astrophy their wives, who were sitting on the
the bank watching their operations, lighted their
pipes and quarrelled as 70 whose fault ID was
that their husbands were drowned
