POLITICAL.

nea.Douglas, having stumped New
England and the Middle States, is now
on a tour Of the South. In his speech
in Virginia the other day, the question
was asked him if he would aid the South
in dissolving the Union in case the peo-
pie of the United States should elect
Lincoln President. Douglas promptly
answered that he would not.
@Governor Banks, of Mass, has
beeN elected President of the Illinois
Central railroad, and therefore declines
peremptorily to be candidate for re-
election as Governor. He would have
been nominated by acclamation. He
will remove to Chicago and is destined
to be one of the leading men of the great
West. ;.s...... . .
ne!a- The Douglas Democracy of Iowa
have just met with terrible shock.
Two of their four electors, decline to
run, for the reason that they can't any
longer support the party, its platform,
or its nominees. Alas! poor Douglas!
We suppose the leaders will sell out
cheap to some of the other factions.

REUNION OF PASTORS AND PEOPLE.
Arrangements have been made by
which it is expected that all who have
been Pastors of the NJ. E. Churches at

were first made station, will spend Sat
urday, Sunday and Monday, the 10th,

The Ministers are Rev's d. d. Mather,
J. 1. Given, a. Flemming, S. G. Tramp
ton, A. G. Byers and j. B. Bradrick.-
AS the congregations will probably be
large, it is thought best to have services
at both places at the same time, the min
listers spending part of their time at
each place.. ##- .59.aa
Services will begin on Saturday even
ing at quarter before eight clock.
On Sunday morning there will be at
Middleport reunion Love Feastat nine
o clock; preaching at half past ten and
at night.
At Pomeroy the Sunday school will
meet as usual at nine o'clock, preaching
at eleven and at night AT three o'clock
there will be reunion sacramental and
experience meeting. ~
Services will be held also on Monday
morning and evening, at each place.
The citizens of Pomeroy and Middle
port generally are invited to participate in
these meetings. Persons now living in
other parts who have formerly been
members here are particularly invited to
be present at this reunion of pastors and
people. +.s "
1t is expected that other ministers be-
side those named above will be present
and participate in thee exercises.

A FEW THINGS DISLIKE.

1st.. | dislike to hear a man (espe-
cially professed christian) calling the
Bible to his aid in support of human
Slavery. 1t seems as though he misun-
derstood the teachings of that Sacred
word. .-f.-f....
End. [ dislike to hear man after
proving slavery Gas he thinks) to be of
divine origin, say, ooh! I'm as much op-
posed to slavery as any one can be- It
shows a want Of consistency, not to say
honesty. s.,.f... IN ......- ....
3rd. I dislike to see an individual
carrying the Cincinnati Enquirer in his
pocket and, attempting to show from it
the true position of the Douglas Democ-
racy, and asserting for truth what he
therein reads. 1t shows, at once, that
he is dishonest as the paper, or else
non compos mentis for said paper never
was a fair exponent of Democracy.
4th. I dislike to hear Democrat or
Union man, telling what the Republican
platform is, when they know nothing
about it, perhaps never read or saw it.
It shows they are ignorant, perhaps
willfully SO.
(5th. and 9th. Our subscriber will see
we have taken the liberty to strike out.
We do this simply because we would
''dislike" to see them in the Telegraph.
The writer expressed our sentiments in
these sections of his communication, but
we hope he will agree with US, on reflection,
that they had better not be published.
We think it would only tend to widen a
breach not now big enough to do any
STANDARDIZATION 7sl.) -laf
7th. I dislike to see delegates at a
Convention trading their votes for the
mere object Of securing the nomination
of some friend, at the sacrifice Of some
other man, who they know to be the man
for the people they represent. 1t looks
like, You tickle me and I'll tickle
you" J "3,t ao&7F -#.
Sth. Z dislike to hear a, man find
fault with an officer for (thes charge of
non performance of duty, when;the:c
plainant knows nothing about the du-
ties of said Office, knows not whether
the charge be true. 1t seems like an
infringement on the golden rule
'W Whatsoever ye would that men should
do unto you, &c. It
9th l dislike to hear man speak
contemptfbly of our county paper and
at the same time, anxious to borrow it,
to get some valuable information that
he cannot procure elsewhere. 1t is
certainly low, mean, ungentlemanly.
10th. Idislike to seeany Republican in
Meigs County, who is not a paying sub
scriber, and reader of the Ielcgraph.-
1t shows a want of properly apprecisting
that which we cannot do without And
finally - aaE .e
[ greatly pity the man who does not
like to vote for Douglas, but who has
to. n. SUBSCRIBER.

At tie "Pleasant Flats1 Race Course, Nason Co.,
Va, dug 25th, 1860.
On the evening of the 9th we had a
light shower of rain, which left the track
in fine condition on the morning of the
25th, when at Z clock A. NJ. Mr.. III. S.
Welton's b. h. ''Tipton Slasher" COM
menced trotting his ten mile heat in har-
ness against time (40 minutes) for 800

4:09: I'd, 3:54I1:: Sd, 3:43Ia;; 4th, 3:46; 9Th,
3:48; 9th, $50; 18th, 3:51; Sth, 1857; 9th,
1851; 10th, HOS, making the heat in
39:O3, and, to all appearances, making
this heat much easier than he did his
five mile heat, July 29th. There may
be horses in this vicinity that can beat
''Tipton'' a single mile, but We believe
his bottom is unquestionably good.
At II o'clock foot-race of one mile
for $40 was run by Frank Stewart and j.
Sidebottom. Won by Stewart in 800;

will afford those of our citizens deslrous
of testing the speed or bottom of theil
horses an excellent opportunity to do SO

Our readers who did not receive the

by the date, that the day Of publication
has been changed from Tuesday to Fri
day. We have made the change, the
better to .ssit tie mails from Pomeroy to

Atfmany places subscribers do not get
their papers fora full week after publi-
cation. From a consultation with our
post master, and the representations of
subscribers, we are satisfied that the
change will accommodate more than any
other day. A part of the edition will
be struck off ON Thursday of each week.
SO as to be sent by the mails which leave
on that day. We will do our very best
to place. the Telegraph within the reach
of subscribers at the earliest moment,
and would take it as special favor if
all our friends would use their influence
to extend It's circulation. .-

The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette says that a project is on foot
among the politicians to get out another
candidate for Presi lent, who is none
other than Judge fancy, the author of
the immortal Dred Scott Decision. We
think there is an eminent propriety in
this movement. 1t is quite manifest
that neither of the parties as now organ
lied and marshaled against the Repub-
licans, have, any chance of an election
by the people. They all agree, how
ever, in the gospel of bred Scott
Houston, Douglas, Bell and Breckin-
ridge make Taney's Decision the CEN
tral doctrine of their creeds, but cannot
quell the s.irrepressible conflict among
themselves for the leadership. Now
Why can't they all darw off, and unite
upon the prophet of that latter-day rev.
elation? What would be so fit and
proper as this. We second the motion.
Let fancy be the candidate of all the
factions, and Dred Scott the platform
True, bred Scott is dead. But who has
not, heard the proverb of sticking to a
thing ''hke grim death to a dead mig
ger''il And as Democracy stuck to the
African while both were alive, we think
it would be no more than right to bury
them all in the same grave that they
may not be separated in death. Huzza!
for Judge fancy and Dred Scott!
