Ornamental and Consistent.

Our neich5or the Democrat, has borrowed
a wood cut representing a slave auction.
from some of his proslavcry brethren, and
gives it a prominent place in his paper.
We hope he will keep it there, through
this campaign. for it becomes his sheet well,
and is both highly proper. and ornamental;
in fact VIC haze scen nothing i'll that dclec-

Of his rarcr, and Of the party whose

it holds up its hands at the idea, whether
true or false. that Judge Gholson was
once 4 slave holder and did sell slaves
when at the same tiinc. the Vice President
Mr.. Breckenridge. whose name stood second
at the head Of that paper, during a canvass
Of six months was then, and Is aolr, 4
slave holder; did sell slaves before his cleo
ton, and probably has done so since. The
difference between the Democratic Vice
President, and the Republican candidate
for Judge, is that the one, fifteen years
ago held slaves and sold them, but after
wards manumitted all that he possessed,
removed from a slave state, and become a
consistent advocate of freedom; and the
other was a STAKEHOLDER, and sold slaves
fifteen years ago, and is q slave-holder still,
and IS an advocate for the extension of
slavery. Where is Toombs, Foote. Doug
lass, and other prominent slave-holding
Democrats? The Slave Auction cut in
your paper is all right, Mr.. Democrat
Keep it there, by all means.

a Pretty Dodge.

We had supposed that it would be i'm
possible for a political canvass to be made
more ridiculous than the Letcher and Cog
gin contest in Virginia. when the whole
election was made to turn upon the fact
whether it was safe to elect Letchcr Gov
ernor, who ten years previously had rcqucs-
ted a gentleman in Eastern Virginia. who
had delivered a speech in favor of enamel
PATTON to print it. But this absurlity las

zeal Office IN the ticket monoPoiizcs all the

els Of virtue all the Democratic candidates
are, or what monsters Of ignorance and
vice the other republican State candidates
are. And what Is the cause OF all this ?
1t Is charged that Gholson. years ago, when
he lived in Mississippi. owned some slaves,
and sold them. This is ali. and We should
like to know what of it! We should like
to know how it will ~incapacitate Mr.. Ghol-
son from making a good Judge in Ohio.
even if the charge had any better support
than an ele%ctioneering Locofoco democrat.
Their great rage at Gholson is that he did
not Keep his slaves, as they look upon a man
who has no slaves, and runs for Office, as
highly disrcputable, and the only possible
atonement being that the slaveless candi-
date shall exhibit moro interest in slave
property than if he owned slaves. Ohio
Locofocoism must be hard run.-Dehroit

Coon SIGNS IN SOUTHERN 0HIo.-The
Gallipolis Journal. the old Wing organ 0!
Gallia county and therefore neutral since the
organization of the Republican party, has
placed the Republican ticket at the head Of
its columns.-The editor says:
We do 50 because We are satisfied that
the best interests of the State will be ad-
vanced by their election of the Opposition.
1t is the only way the State is likely to be
saved from the curse of LOcofoco misrule.
Mr.. Dennison. the candidate for Govern
or. is an old Wing, who did neble service
in the good old days of 10, II and rs.
We believe him honest and capable, and
will make a Governor of whom the State
may he proud. He has not one set of OPP
inicns for the North and another for the
South, as has his opponent. Ranney. The
balance of the ticket, 50 far as We have been
able to inform ourselves. is equally worthy
of the peoples support, and we call upon
the people of Gallis county, who are not
wholly committed to the hypoeritical cant
and pluRdering propcnsities Of Ohio Loco
focos, to aid in electing the men who COM
pose the Opposition ticket.

1t is so perfectly evident that the aim Of

and bought and sold slaves. James G.
Birney, Cassius ". Clay, Grinke, and
hosts Of other men at the South, were once
buyers and sellers Of slaves, but even the
stupidity of u present opponents is wise
enough to see that they can make no capt.
tai by harping upon hat string.
They will make as little by meddling
with Gholson. If they could prove that
he is mac a pro.slaTery man, they would
hinder Republicans from supporting him.
but that proof would show him so good a
Democrat that they would keep mum, and
give him a hearty and silent support, or
openly adopt him as their candidate. Their
going back to Mississippi, and to 1915, for
their weapons Of abuse. proves that they
know his present position to be n which
good Republicans have no reason to be dis
satisfied with.

Ohio Democracy.

Resolned, That the Legislative enact
ments of the last Democratic General As
sembly of Ohio, were eminently wise and
tjudicious, and calculated to promote the
best interests of the State and the prosper

ly wise and judicious,' may be enumerated:
lst. The Treasury law requiring the ul-
innate collection of all taxes in gold and

one to two thousand dollars of additional
taxation for big iron safes. clerk hire. &c.
I'd. The act increasing the salaries Of
common pleas judges and creating sundry
additional Judicial districts. for the special
benefit of certain ~locofoco Office seekers.
81. The act increasing the salary of the
Supreme Judges from Sl700 to 100000.

power from the Governor and giving it to a
l~ocofoco plumber committee.
18th. An act requiring an adjourned ses-
sion at an expense Of at least 100000 90
more.
