Who is the Nomineer

We must be excused for interfering with
business that peculiarly belongs TO our po-
litical opponents, but we don't understand
the manner in which LEWIS DONALD, Esq,
comes to be their nominee for Member of
the Board Of Equalization. The under
standing among the Democracy of the two
counties, before the Primary Elections, as
we heard it stated numbers of times, was,
that Wayne county should have the Sena-
tor, and Holmes the Member of the Board
of Equalization. With this understand
ing Wayne county had no candidate for the
latter office, and of right had no say SO
in the matter, but We see that she has ta-
ken the cast off candidate Of this county,
and nominated him against The wishes of a
majority of its Democratic voters. Wayne
county therefore makes the nomination for
Holmes county, and all Mr.. STIFFLER and
his friends will have to do, is to vote for
DONALD, and ask no questions. We un-
derstand that Wayne, did not want to vote
in the matter at all, but that representa-
tions were made to them, that SrlFFLER
was "Dutch mullet-head' totally unqual-
flied for the post. and that they should
pitch into him, and they did.

Senatorial Convention.

The Senatorial Convention which met In
Frederickskurg ON Saturday last, put IN
nomination for Senator, Dr. r. R GAILr, OF
Wayne county, and for member Of the
Board of Equalization JAMES GREER, Of
Holmes county. ~ Y
DIR. GAuY has already sent Mr.. EAsoN,
the Locofoco candidate for Senator in this
District. challenge to meet him on the
stump, and debate the questions at issue
between the two parties. If Easos ac-
cepts, we advise our political opponents
who want to get an insight into the capac-
ity of their candidate, to go and hear the
debate.
Mr.. JAMES GREER, is citizen of our
county, and most excellent man for the
post be has been selected to fill. He is a
farmer of extensive travel and acquaint-
ance with men and books. His suitable
ness for the positien to which be has been
nominated, is acknowledged by all who
know him, and if elected, no man of that
Board, would occupy more commanding
position in it, than JAMES GREER, of
Holmes county.

. We take very great pl6sure in announc-
ing 10 the people of Ohio, that dispatch
just received BY ths SSscfetary of the State
Central COMMITTEE, announces that
HON. ALB. LINCOLN, OF ILLINOIS,
will address the people, at Columbus, on
Fridny afternoon Ntas l5th iast-, and at
Cincinnati on Saturday the l6th inst.
Tho great reuowu, and national reputa-
tion of Mr.. Lincoln, as speaker, cannot
fail to attract an immense assemblage.-
His famous series of debates last year With
Mr.. Douglas, in which the little rebel was
thoroughly worsted, and by reason of which
the Republicans carried the State Of lii
nois by several thousand majority, all con-
spire to give great interest 10 this contsEa-
plated visit. He follows on the track of
Douglas, and will not leave a shred of his
miserable logic unraveled and exposed
Let our friends in the adjoining counties
prepare to attend by thousands. 2
We also learn that another gallant Hi
uois spirit, Senator Trumbull, will proba-
bly, speak in Cleveland on Thursday eve, at
Sandusky on Friday, and at Wooster on
Saturday, of next week. He has telegraph
ed that be would be in Cleveland on
Wednesday. The ball is opening grandly.

Already In the Field.

Candidates for the offices to be filled
next fall are already in the field, "laying the
ropes to insure their nomination. This
may be considered early by some unac-
quainted with the mode of doing business
here, but the custom of bestowing the Of
fees, two, three, and five years ahead, is
an old one with the Democrrcy of this
county. There will but few offices to fill
next fall, but there will be no lack of can
didates. One of two things will have TO
be done, either soma of the candidates
must be Withdrawn, or more groceries es-
tablished, as there aint enough of the lat
ter at present to go round, and judging
from the present and past Labits of some
of those we have heard spoken Of, as like
ly to be on the track then, there will be
more than the usual demand for institu-
tions of this kind.

~T The leaders of the Locofoco party
in Ohio, must be badly alarmed as to their
prospects at the coming election, for they
have not only Senator DoUGLAs stumping
the State for them, but they have couple
of funkies, whose business it is to at
tend the discussions between Mcssrs. RAN
NEY and DENNIsoN, and endeayor TO insult,
intimidate or confuse the latter, by asking
him questions, making fiat contradictions,
and in other ways try to insult him or
throw him off his guard. How very
characteristic this conduct is of the Nigger
Catching Democracy of Ohio.
The rules and regulations governing the
discussion now going oRbetween Messrs.
DENNIsoS and RANNEY, were made and
agreed upon by the State Central Com
mittees of each party through their Chair
men, and these men have no more business
there to interrupt Mr.. DENNIsoN, than they
would have 10 go into religious assem-
blage, and interrupt its proceedings. But
from their conduct men can judge of the
strait 10 which the party is put, and the
means they are willing to resort 10 to car
ry the State.

FIRE-On Thursday night last fire
broke out in the room occupied by L. Fritz
as grocery, located in the building form
erly occupied by Mr.. Mcdowell and others
as tavern stand, and at present owned by
ESQ. CRIrcHEIkLD. When first discovered
tie fire had made such progress, that few
thought it possible TO save the building,
but our Firemen soon put their veto upon
the further progress of the flames. We
are not apprised as to the extent of Mr..
FR1rz loss; the damage done the building
was estimated at three hundred and fifty
dollars, which is covered by Insurance.
Messrs. REED and CRIrcHFIELD, who occu-
pied the room over the Grocery as Law
Office, also met with some loss in damage
to their Books, &c There were other suf-
ferers, but we do not know to what extent.

ASHLAND AND RIcHLAND.-We learn by
the Mansfield Herald, that on Monday last,
a conclave of the Democratic politicians of
Ashland and Richland counties, was held
at the Court House in Mansfield, in order
it possible, to settle the difficulties between
the two counties, so as to have but one
candidate for State Senator in the field
The Ashlanders demanded the Withdrawal
of Cantwell, and the Richlanders demand
ed the withdrawal of Fulton, the Ashland
candidate. Neither would accede to the
demand of the other. and the meeting
broke up without accomplishing anything.
The Herald says the Democrats of the
district are growing desperate at the pros
lpect Of Republican Senator being elected; !;
and that this, "together with the certain
defeat which awaits them on the whole
county ticket, is calculated not to keep
them in very amiable temper"

ONO DEMOCRACY IN 1S54-"We have
heretofore at length shown reasons why
the Federal Court should be made amena-
bic to the people and made elective by
them. One of the cogent reasons for this
most radical reform is the tendency of their
decisions in favor of security to state cor
porations, Federal protection, through the
instrumentality ofthe United States Courts
to an extent exempting them from the
state authorities almost entirely." 4
X 'That court must be changed"
What an illustratinn of the spirit of de-
mocracy, that all this is changed since the
capabilities of that Court for the extension
of the slave power were developed? Now
the responsibility of that court to the
people, is its most sacred feature to democ-
racy.-,Sate Journal.

Political Riot In Leavenw0rth
CITY.

The Register of the 5th gives the par
ticulars of the disgraceful assault made by
the Democrats on Republican, meeting in
Leavenworth the evening of the Sd, at
which four or five men were seriously in
jured. The Republicans were holding a
large and orderly Meeting, when a Demo-
cratic procession came up with the eyidens
intention of disturbing the speaking. The
Republicans were about to let them pass
through quietly, when the band Of the
procession commence playing, drowning the
speakers voice. The Republicans than
closed across the street, shouting to. the
Democratic Marshal 10 turn back. He at
tempted TO ride over the people and was
driven back. The Democratic ;orch-bear-
ers commenced using their torch-s,icks
and a general melee ensued. The Regis
ter says;
The Republicans were unarmed, but the
pavements supplied weapons. Firing was
commenced on the Democratic side. A
number of shots were fired, but they came
from the Democracy. The scenes was ter
rible to look upon. Stones few fast, bluts-
geons were freely used; many rushed home
and procured their arms. 1
Both parties wavered, but the Democratic
procession, broken, fed up the street. A
cessation of few minutes ensued, when a
scattering fight recommended. The diff
Guilty continued for some time, but finally
order was in some degree restored, and
committee, at some PERSONS suggestion,
was appointed to confer with the Demo
cratic committee with view to restore Or
der. They reported, after some time, n
failure to agree. H. P. johnson address
ed the audience, proposing that an organi-
cation be effected. Six armed men were
placed at each street, and the meeting con-
tinued. Johnson and Col. Vaughan spoke.
Ward Wilson made a powerful address,
calling upon the Republicans to stand to-
gether and defend their rights as Ameri-
cans. = 50
A number of persons were huft-some
seriously. A Republican gentleman from
the country. Mr.. Strawkridger, was shot
with revolver in tho head, DR.. Sinks ex-
tracted the ball. A Republican, name nn-
known, was dangerously wounded in the
back of the head with bowie knife. H. P.
Johnson was badly cut with stone. Col.
Vaughn was also struck. An Irishman
named -Golly, banner bearer in the process
sion, was seriously wounded inthe face with
stones. Officer Deveau endeavoring.to dis
charge his duty, was the frs. .nian struck.
Judge Halderman endeavored to quell the
disturbance and contributed much to that
end. The Republicans continued their
meeting. Several speeches were made af-
terwards.

BRINe ON THE PRooF.-The Editor of

VIII The editor please to point 10 the par
agraph, line or sentence, of ours in which
this denial is made! We did say that
from the bungling manner in which these
papers were gotten up, their conflicting
dates, their disagreement as to the names
of the negroes sold, DC, they looked to us
like forgeries, got up on the eve of an cleo
tior to defeat a political opponent. These
papers as published in the Farmer, are
made to tell very improbable story, the
dates do not agree &C., but the Editor at
tempts 10 saddle the blame for this upon
the "boys" in his office. The "boys" there
will have a sorry time of it. if they have
to father all the mistakes made, and stories
told by the Editor of that paper, when at
tempting to write down the Republican
State Ticket or any part of it. Whether
these deeds, DC, are genuine or not, we

r- Had the Editor Of the Eorme

Eg Had the Editor of the Farmer
been citizen of Millersburg when the
Know Nothings had an existence here, he
would now be little more careful how he
speaks of the members of that defunct Or
der, lest he offend many who are lead
ing members in his own party. Suppose
he procures the roll kept here by that Or
der and see to oFwhat party majority of its
members have since attached themselves.
If he cannot procure the roll we can help
him to most of the names on it, provided
he will agree to print them. Wouldn't the
publication of this list wake up storm
about his ears? But then he might shift
the responsibility on his "boys," just as he
has in other instances.

!, FEMALE MAJoRIrIEs IN CIrrEs.-Males
preponderate in the country, females in
cities. This is occasioned by the influx of
women in search of employment which they
can not find in the country. In the city of
Brooklyn, in the year 1856, the excess Of
females was ten thousand nine hundred and
ninety-two; in New York, 'twenty-three
thousand nine hundred and thirty-two.-
In 1850, the excess was seven thousand
three hundred and thirty five, so that the
probable excess at present is near thirty
thousand. In 1850, the excess in Boston
wssfive thousand three hundred and thirty
three, and in Philadelphia. fifteen thous.
and eight hundred and eighty. The. pro-
portion is about equal, the excess being
near four pei, cent. of the entire popula-
ton in all but Brooklyn, which is about
five per cent.

and at CINCINNATI on Saturday, the 18th.
Mr.. Lincoln held series of public meet
ings in Illinois with Senator Douglas last
year, and proved himself more than match
for the Little Giant. But for an unfair
apportionnient of the Illinois Legislature,
Mr. Lincoln would represent that State in

publicans Of Illinois carried a handsome
majority on the pupuldi vote. Leader.

The Proposed state Of Nevada.

The hot haste of the squatters in the
Western wilds to put on State sovereignty
is remarkable and laughable. They spurn
Territorial swaddling-clothss at the hands
of Uncle Sam, and would trick out in the
vestments Of manhood without waiting at
Jericho for the beard to grow. And this
too, after the aforesaid Samuel has repeats
edly refused to open his door 10 any such
precocious upstarts. ~ss.o
Nevada presents the latestinstance. Mr..
Greeley writes that when be reached Gre
noa, which aspires to be-the emporium of
the Gold Region and the capitaiof the en-
bryo State of Nevada, now village of bus
forty or fifty houses, be found Stale Csn-
vention, had just adjourned! The Con-
yention after session of two weeks, had
completed State Constitution, and taken
the preliminary steps for a State organizss
ton Said State to comprise the western
half of Utah Territory, with small strip
of eastern California Carson Valley will
furnish most of The population. Itlis
beautiful and productive valley, easily m
irrigated, and already a portion about shir-
ty miles long by ten to fifteen wide, is in
good part under cultivation. The area can
be largely increased. The people of Car
son Valley. and of Western Utah genesal-
ly are not Mormons, and the Legislation
Of Utah is unsuited and unacceptable to
them. A Territorial organization, inde-
pendent of Utah, seems to be demanded
by the location, customs and religion Of the
people, whs, though few in numbers rs yet
bid fair some day to possess all the ele-
ments ola State. To aspire to that posi-
tion now is simply ridiculous.-Clspe
