The following article is selected from the
New York Express, the leading American jour
nal in the country. 1t is about as pointed as
as anything we have seen this year
A false political map is in circulation, paint
ing to the ignorant eye, the existence, progress,
and contested ground of Slavery and Freedom
in the thirty one States and Territories.
In 1776 when the Declaration of Indepen-
dence was formed, Sh1Dery rriste{in the States
in the Union, In 1887 when the Constitution
was framed, ditto--thoush in Massachusetts it
was about that time abolished by judicial decis-
ion.
Slavery now exists in but Is of the 33 States
o the Union.
Slavery. IL, 1875, eristsd in all TIC Territories
of the United Colonies or States. Slavery now
exists not by law in any Of the Territories of
the United States--and tie question whether it
shall or shall not exist, is to be determined by
actual settlers in these territories--not by vo.
ters in New York or elsewhere.
Slavery is forbidden by positi0e laao in Oregon
and Washington, JAMES K. POLK approving The
act-and yet this map paints Oregon and Wash
ington-even Minnesota, as disputed ground
Slavery exists not in the vast Territory Of
Nebraska--and stands no chance of existing
there.
| By the admission Of Free California into the
| Union the line of "freedom'' runs Goacn south
to 3211 North Latitude, 80 south Of the Mis-
sontrt line.
By the admission OF Free California, and tht
organization of Washington and Oregon Terri
tories, SLAVERY is excluded from the Pacific ocean
Ttah is free Territory, not contested Ter
ritory. The Mormon Bible resists slavery, aui
the Mormons themselves forbid its existence
among their people.
The only contested Territories are Utah
north Of SO 30--the Indian Territory south o
SO 80, and perhaps, but it is not probable, thu
Territory Of New Mexico.
In Maine, on the atlantic, on a line through t
the Pacific ocean, slavery has been excluded
since 1786-and in 1856 eUea, Maine scas slave.
holding--as was all that vast territory
/; The history Of the country has been one con
tinued advance of Freedom" over Slavery,
ever since l786-and yet we have this lie Of
map to dupe the ignorant to a contrary belief
In 1888 Virginia mainly gave freedom to til,
whole Northwest Territory-tor that Territory
then slavehold!ng, belonged to her, and by hel
consent was made free Ohio, Indiana Illinois
Wisconsin, and Michigan were slave soil-nov
| free.
Iowa was in the slaveholding territory OF Lou
isians but is now free.
Stop the map, and thus stop a big paper lie
Aboliticnism, however must lie, in order to ex
cite public passion--and as words cannot lie fas
enough, it resorts to pictured paper.

The condition O fthe canvass in Ohio, at this
time is most gratifying to the Democracy Of the
State. The Republican party is loosing ground
darby, and blight like mildew seems to have
fallen upon it. 1t is not an uncommon occur
renee now for intelligent Republicans who con-
cede thatthe Democratic State Ticket will sue
ceed but faint hope is expressed by such per-
sons that the Republicans will carry the legisla-
ture. To admit the success Of the Democratic
State Ticket, is to concede a Democratic legis-
lature, as it is impossible for the one to prevail
without the other, pro1iled the Democracy have
unity and harmony In every legislative and
senatorial District. If the Repub licans can in
any way divide the Democratic strength in the
State, they will do it with great pleasure, and
it behooves the Democracy in every district to
be exceedingly careful to make good nominations
and after they are made, to stand nntedy by
them. If this be done, and we are quite san
guine it will be, and the Democracy work with
union and energy as we believe they are now
doing and will continue to do, victory will be
ours on the second Tuesday of October next
But it must be remembered that '.taith aoitlsout
pork is dead" while works with lively faith
and good cause, will triumph over all obsta-
cles.
| 1t is not our intention to mislead our politi
cal friends or to cause them to expect that
which cannot be accomplished. We believe
they may achieve victory and come out tri-
umphant, if they properly appreciate the pres
snt position of the contest and promptly use
the advantages they now have. But they
must not be idle; they must not relax bnt in
crease their efforts, perfect their organization
and press forward in compact and solid column
from this time until the evening Of the election
day. Thousands of conservative, union loving
men will unite with them in this good work,
and thus aid in redeeming the State from the
disgrace and misrule Of the present Disunion
Republican Administration and those who seek
| to be its succeesors.--O Statesman.

A Case where two Heads were mot

"a f2OgsaEead of Oil Om his Head
Astonishing Result.
Among the immense amount of merchandise
consigned to Hus9ey & Mcbride for Lake Su4
perior this week, was quantity of linseed oil
shipped by s. NJ. Pike & Co., Cincinnati, and
marked r. S. Sheldon, Son 4; Co., Portage
Lake. While a number of deck hands were
engaged Monday afternoon in placing it in the
hold of the Iron City, something gave way and
hogshead fell fair and square On the head ofa
salwart darkey who was at work in the hold.
The height from which the hogshead fell was
some six feet, and it ended about so that one Of
the heads struck him. A mild though smother
ed yell came up from that hold, and the other
darkies, turning pale as fidelity to their par
ents would permit, rushed down to gather up
the mangled remains oftheir comrade. Imagine
their CONSERVATION upon seeing the hogshead
standing upright and the frightened and some
what lacerated countehance of the negro pro.
truding through the upper head! His adam
antine Uranium had driven through both heads
of the hogShead without doing him material In
jury more than a few cuts and pretty bad
scare" The hogshead had to be knocked to
pieces in order to release him, and he emerged
the greasiest niger probably ever seen in A.
merica. While they were binding up his head
he was heard to remark, "Gor mighty, guess
dis ere darkey don't want any more lie on his
har" He was at his work i'll the afternoon, as
we'll as ever apparently - Cleveland Democrat

ScRoFuLA.-This is one of the worst humors
that beset our race. 1t does not cCAfne itself
to one member of family, but the husband
transmits it to his wife, and again it appears in
their offspring, and is handed down from gen.
eratien to generation as surely as the old family
plate or the willed legacy. But all this havoc
can be avoided If those so afflicted will but be
advised. "Kenedy's Medical Discovery" has,
during the past twelve years, cured many stub
born cases of this disease, and all we ask OF our
readers Is to use it themselves when it is need

The Portage Demoeratjc the Republican
sheet that don't like the idea of supporting
man who sold his slaves, has the following
" We have received communication OF some
length from Pro Bono Publico," defining and
yndicating the position Of Judge Gholson--
We are not aware that our correspondent
possesses any superior advantages for ascertain
ing the past action or present views of Judge
Gholson. and hence we cannot regard his eX-
plantations as authoritative. We are as anxious
as any one to have our candidate for Judge re-
liably vindicated, and hence, before publishing
morc on the subject, we shall patiently wait
reliable statements from sourcess authorized to
speak from clearly ascertaned facts. We trust
when these explanations come all may be salts

The proof Of the facts charged exist in black
and white, and we trust while Brother HALL is
waiting like Macawber, for something to turn
up that he will enjoy his usual health and
Spirits but if he lives until satisfactory expla
nation is made, he will outlive Methusaleh in
age many thousand years. ..
Judge GaoLsoN sold his nggers and got his
pay, and we have the documents to prove it,
and the responsibilities and consequences
must go where they properly belong" and that
is to the Republican party, who nominated the
stakeholder, and now supports him, for the
highest judicial Office in the State, and we will
hold them to it.--NattonaS Democrat.

0TPhysicians are generally 10th to speak
word in praise of what are called ''patent med
ieines." Indeed, it is an article in the code of
medical ethics that physician who sanctions
the use Of such remedies cannot be considered
member of tho National Association. But
there are exceptions to the mort stringent
rules, and many OF the disciples of Esculapius
have actually been compelled, by the foroe Of
facts to recommend the use of DR.. j Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters, for diseases which are
particularly prevalent during the summer and
fall. They have ascertained that there are no
remedies In the pharmacopia which can COM
pare with this wonderful compound for de-
rangement oil the system. Thousands of fami-
lies residing along the low grounds OF the Yves.
tern and Southern rivers, are now convinced
thut they have found medicine peculiarly a.
dapted to their ailments, while in other por-
tions of the country, during the summer months,
the demand for the article is equally large.
