CLEVELAND Ohio March %. 1859.

DEAR Thinking that another
place, have collected together the following,
and transmit the same to you.
1t is really amusing to see the way "Old
Gid" dies. His last heave is an address to the
people Of the Goth District, under the date Of
March 12, 1859; just after he had reached
home from Washington Poor old fellow, he
is to be pitjea. How cruel his constituents
were to leave him at home.
One Of those pious persons that constitutes
what they call good freedom lover in Ober-
lin, and who goes by the name of I. R. Kirk,
was arrested few days since for passing coun-
terieit money. He was student in the pre-
paratory department of Oberlin College, ard
was studying for the ministry. During the
past " inter he has been teaching school in Ash.
land county, and to make his employees be
leve that he was piouS, he opened his school
every morning with prayer. Ofhis guilt there
is no doubt.
I am qualified to learn that Hon. Elisha
Whittesay, OF Nahoning county, is collecting
fctS in regard to the services of the militia of
Northern Ohio, after Gen. TIull's surrender
As great injustice has been done this patriotic
militia by not acknowledging their services IN
history, the object of Mr.. Whittlesey in col
ecting these factss prasworthy.
The Ohio State Jomnal of last Saturday, in
Ft1,
mayor of that city, has the following curious
compound of politics:-"Our readers will be
glad to know that the veteran Mayor English
again heads the Republican City ticket, Mr..
English has been Mayor of Columbus for
ten years. holding the same principles through
the numerous changes of political power. and
during that time has so engaged the affections
ofthe people that his nomination is equivalent
to an election lfMr E. has held the same
principles for the last ten years, he is cortain-
ly not a republican ofthe present day. A man
that stood on the Baltimore platform Of 1852,
and still stands on it, (and the Journal tells us
that Mr.. L does,) he makes poor Republican
eff the J0Urnnl school.
The way black republican correspondents
from Columbus for black republican papers, are
paid, will be explained by reading the follow
ing from the Statcsman:-
We learn that the correspondent the Clev-
land Heruli, and Sandusky Regjster and other
Black Republican sheets is paid salary by the
State administration, and that said salary is
paid by drafts upon the Treasury ol Oho The
pretence that he is clerk in the service OF the
A State Auditor, will not do, as he is notoriously
all the time on the floor of the House. We
suggest to the select Committee on the subject
of clerks in the Auditors office that thev at
tempt to prevent this Glbsonism. Matters
are indeed coming to pass when newspaper
correspondents are paid with the peoples mon
ey. This almost equals the Chase and Schou-
Ter newspaper gouge.
attended the Democratic City Convention
which met in this city on last Saturday, as a
spectator, ofcourse. The meetings in the diff
ferent wards upon the night previous were We
ry large. With that kind ofward NEE ting, as a
natural consequence, the City Convention was
very large. The court house in which it was
held would not begin to hold the people. This
convention was a fair representation Of the
Democratic party. 1t was made up principal
ly of the bone and sinew of the country--men n
who have some active employment by which
they earn their livlihood. Hon. II. B. Payne
presided. lie makes splendid presiding Of
ficer. The ticket nominated is said to be an
excellent one, and hope it may be triumph
antly elected.
