Democratic Morals.

The Spartan boy who had stolen a fox
and had hidden him in his bosom, endured
without a groan the gnawing of the animal
even to the vitals, rather than betray the
secret of thotheft. This was in accordance
with Spartan morality which taught thatthe
crime was in the detection, not in the theft
itself. So it is with the Ohio Democracy.
When a great fraud was discovered by Gov.
Chase and his Republican administration,
that robbery was proclaimed even on the
electric wires, and the republican treasurer,
who had endeavored to conceal the Demo
cratic robbery was stripped of his official
power and driven from the Capitol. The
Democratic party, however, from the day of
that robbery by Breslin, have made but one
endeavor and that has been TO conceal the
fraud.
That is the difference betweeK Republi-
can honesty and Democratic honesty. The
one will proclaim the great wrong all over
the State, evenif it duplicates members Of
their own party, the other will let the rot.
tenness cat out the very substance of the
State Treasury if it thus can be concealed
A Republican governor, after he gets an
inkling of the great wrong leaves not the
Treasury in the hands of the unfaithful ser
want for one night. The Democratic Gov
ernor, for months knowing that robber
was in the Treasury, not only permits him
to remain TO the end of his term, but sees
him ro-nominated, and permits him TO run
for reelection, the people meanwhle being
kept in ignorance Of the robbery.
Let the people answer which is true hon
csty and which Spartan honesty? Let the
Republicans answer at the ballot box; will
you continue true honesty in the Capitol Of

The .Iuhgeshin.

The Messenger still persists in its asser-
ton that there are Republicans in this town
who advocate the election of Mr.. kent to
the Judgcship. If there are, they are un-
known to us, and such Republicans cannot
be very well acquainted with the previous
political history of that gentleman. This is
not the first time that Mr.. KENT has en-
deavored to disorganize and break up the
Republican party. When he resided in
Huron county, he was a candidate for nom
ination for Probate Judge; Mr.. W1cKHAM,
editor of The Reflector, was also a candid
ate Mr.. WIoKHAM was nominated and
KENT 6olted, and supported the Democratic
candidate. Soon after this Mr.. KENT re-
moved to Toledo, where he became can
didate for Representative to the Legislature.
Mr.. UPHAM was nominated over him, and
he again boiled, and aided to elect Dem
crat And now came the Judicial Conven-
tion at Clyde. Mr.. KENT's partner in the
law business, (Mr. BAssETr," was candid
ate for nomination. He was defeated, and
Mr.. F1TcH nominated, and now we find Mr..
KENT for the third time boiling the regular
nominee ofthe party, twice when he was a
candidate for nomination, and once when
his partner was, aud now becoming an Inde-
pendent candidate himself. Now, if any
of our Republican friends have hastily said
that they should vote for Mr. KENT, under
the impression that one Republican was
just as good as another politically, we beg
of them to look at this short history of him,
and see if they had not better reconsider any
hasty resolves they may have made. 1t is
the better way.

Tho cause of lhe San Juan War.

The following is brief review of the
trouble in the Northwest which, in the
opinion of some, threatens war with Eng
land. Tho island of San Juan, or Bellevue,
is considered to be disputed point between
American and English territory. 1t is be-
tween fifteen and eighteen miles long, by
seven at the widest part. 1t is peopled
chiefly by few American squatters, an
English squire, ian employee of the Hud-
son Bay Company,) and number of unru-
ly hogs, some of whom belong to the squire.
The quarrel is all about these hogs. Said
hogs persisted in breaking through the
hedges and digging up and eating the po-
tatoes. of Mr.. Butter, an American settler.
He gave them--that is, their masters--a
fair warning, and then shot ono of them,
which turned out to be boar belonging to
the squire. Mr.. Gutter was sorry, and Of
fered to pay; but the squire had sworn ven
geance; he attempted to have Gutter ar
rested and brought to Victoria, there to be
tried and transported Now there hap
pened to be some United States troops, un-
der Gen. Harney, at hand, and when a
British war steamer arrived from Victoria
to carry off Mr.. Gutter, General Harney re-
fused to deliver him up. 1t was then that
the question arose as TO whose jurisdiction
the Island of San Juan belongs. Warlikc
preparations now commenced on both sides.
The English hesitated to strike the first
blow. The assembly in Victoria have is,
sued long address to Governor Douglass
setting forth that it would he lasting dis
grace to the British name if the American:
were not at once driven from the Island
Governor Douglass does not know what tc
do. The English commander of the naya
force in those waters is reported 70 have
said that ''the first broadside he would firc
lat the American settlement on San Juar
would, cost England more than the Islanc
is worth" In the meantime the Ameri
cans havc received rcinforcemcnts from
Steilacoom, etc, and commenced fortifica

rho common pleas Judge

WShaye tried in measure TO kecp our
friends in Sandusky County posted in -
gard to the strife now going on IN this dis
trict which is mainly carried on by tho Lo-
cofocos and few boiling Republicans,
whereby they seek to defeat Judge Fitch
and elect Mr.. Kent. The Times & Herald
Of Toledo still llcontihues It's slanderous and
malicious falsehoods, which have over and
over again been proved false. These SLAM
dcrs arc repeated and Topublishod by some
Of the Democratic papers 10 this district
Many Of them have been put forth in the
Messenger, the editor of which knows them
to be false. The Locofoeo party Of the
district not having candidate Of their own,
think by supporting boiling Republican to
elect him over Mr.. Fitch, tho regularly
nominated candidate Of the Republican
party. The Norwdlk Experiment and
the Ottawa Democrat, both democratic pa
pers, refuse TO support Mr.. Kent and we
understand they are in favor of tho re-clec
ton of Judge Fitch. We know many
Democrats who will vote for Mr.. Fitch pre-
ferring him infinitely to Mr.. Kent.
We hope no Republican in this county
will allow himself to be made tool of BY
the Locofoco party to defeat worthy maj
who was regularly nominated and will b,
supported by the Republicans. When thcs'
slanderers come around you with their sto
ries, just tell them that they and you know
they are bypocrites, and that you intend t
vote for Judge Fitch.

ems presented a singular appearance; dark,
silvery, condensed clouds hung over Mount

of fire could be distinctly seen rolling up.
On Thursday night the fro was plainly seen
by every ono whose attention could be
drawn to the subject. Yesterday. l9th,)
tho mountain was closely examined by
those who have recently returned from n
visit to its summit, when by the naked eye
or glass; it was seen that a largo mass Of
the northwest side had disappeared, and
that the immense quantity of snow which,
two weeks since, covered the south side.
had disappeared. The. dense cloud Of
steam and smoke constantly rising over and
far above It's summit together with the en-
tire change heretofore, copvinces us that
Mount Hood is now in state of eruption,

letter in which he expresses heopinion that
if the Southern delegates ut Charleston

the Northern Democracy to yield to their

Senator Douglas he says:

mocracy will commit so suicidal nm act as
to adopt either Judge Douglas as their can
didate for the Presidency, or his dangerous

sgrhe safe rEiadle Ground,

Tho Washington Constitution has much
to say Of tho ''safe middle ground" upon
which the whole Democratic party is called
to mite, regarding the question of slavery
in the territories, This "safe middle ground"
is thus laid down in the national organ:
The Constitution, according TO the decis-
ion of the highest tribunal known to this
Government SECURES TO EVERY CITIZEN
THE RIGHT OF TAKING AND HOLD
ING HIS SLAVES IN ANY OF THE
OF THE UNITED
STATES. This isthe bond, ard by it we
believe the people of the northern states
are willing TO abide. Honor, truth, plight
ed faith, and every other sacred principle
known, and appreciated by individuals and
ccmmunities, demand it.

flows from this statement of facts? The

nal bridge on fair day at Albion, N. Y, and
the loss Of eighteen lives. The occasion of
the crowd upon the bridge was to see a rope
walker whose ropc was stretched over the
canal. The account in the Rochester Dem
ocrat, says:
The rope walker had got part way across
the canal, when tho bridge broke in two at
the centre, precipitating all who we're upon
it into the middle of the canal. Men, wo-
mon, children, horses and wagons were piled
in nm indiscriminate mass. Tho west half
of the bridge went down first, and Of course
many of those who stood near the break,
were pitched off in such way, that when
the cast half of the bridge came down,
which it did Immediately, it fell upon and
covered them up. Mr.. Grant informs us
TINT pair Of horses aud a carriage full of
people were crushed in this way so COM
plelely that nothiag had been found of
them when he left--two hours after the ac-
cidcnt.

five Hundred people on the bridge. The
