T 1r JOHNS WHITE, as good a Democrat
and as honest and reliable a man as there is
in Ohio, has been removed from the Post Of
fee at Polk in this county. Cause, Douglas
ism. We think this is getting rather low for
a great Administrator. Mr.. WHITE assures
us the Office is not worth over fifty dollars per
dnnun1. He has in his possession a remon-
signed by 81 of the residents of that
vicinity.
THE WIDE AwAKEs, a species of the genus
Black Republican,-lately defined, as a pine
stick with a lamp at one end and a fool at the
other,-paraded our streets late last night.
There were forty-one of them all told and of
these q large proportion we're boys. They
tramped the streets silent as spectres and twice
as ugly. The whole thing looked like a flu
neral, barring the sickly lamps: and they dre
no doubt practicing for the closing obsequies
of the Black-Republican party in November
next. The procession was not entitled to the
name Wide Awake, save for a minute or two
during the whole evening and that was when
they were wakened up .by5three rousing cheers
from about a hundred Democrats that had col
'lected down, near the public square.
81 The general expression among the solid Re-
publicans, we mean those of sound mind, is
that this Kind of tom.ftolery is ridiculous.-
They soy if they can't teat the Democracy by
argument aud reason, they don't deserve to.
beat them, and they depreeate a resort to this
infamous h~umbuggeryss Eauida
sg By the way, the Editor Of the Times has
deserted them. He walked down street at the
tail end Of the procession and then left it to its
fate. The marshall too, appeared to be
ashamed; as he kept hiding behind the leader.
2 TIE Ohio MUSICAL INsTITUTE.-Thc first
term of this Institute, held at this place, closed
last week with an -immense Musical Conven-
ton; and wound up with a Concert on Thurs
day evening last. We venture the assertion
that no Institution of the kind, at its first
term, met with the samc and as triumphant a
success as this has done. There were seventy
five female scholars and forty-two MALE
With as good a corps of Teachers as could be
found in the Union, all the pupils made great
improvement, and the Institute passed off with
great good feeling and harmony.

kGp@ We are reliably Informed that DIR. j.
HAHN, formerly a leading Republican of this
place, and now a resident of MifHin Township,
has renowned the cause of Republicanism and
comes out strongly for the Democracy. The
Dr.. is one of those men that acts as his reason
dictates, goes for the ~rtyth advocates
principles that he is satisfied are right, and has
the manliness to do it openly. We know that
there are a great many in this county who
have acted with the Republican party, that
believe, as we do, that the people of the terri
tories should be -permitte1 to regulate the
question of Slavery like all other domestic re-
I~lations for themselves, permitting no foreign
power to interfere with them in any manner,
either to force it on them or take it from them.
They should then if they are honest, renounce
their fealty to mere party, which seems like
bigotry, and by their acts, their potes, sustain
the party that is contending for this great
popular right Come out men, renounee your
bigotry, and join the party that ~sustains the
|righ's and independence of the people, the
party that has its representatives in every
State of the Union, the only party that cal
res the flag and keeps step to the music of
the Union - yr,,u ~ gen
