The Ohio Legislature might as well dry up.
The State needs none of their counsels or re-
fl rms She now groans under the burdens Of
an oppressive taxation from which an assem-
blage of ounces is trying to relieve her, and
who are so successful that they put two dol
lars on. where they take one off. They could
have saved some money and credit BY passing
the appropriation bills and going home an dumb
as sheep about all other service of the State.
We Lave too much legislation. Apart from
the financial business of the State, we need no
new laws more than once IN i've or ten years.
The great mass of our legislation is the alter
nation Of passage and repeal of laws, which
leaves us at the end Of decade, where we
were at the beginning. One session law 10
enacted. The next repealed. The next put
back on the statute book. Of what good is all
this to the people? Absolutely none. II
costs great deal and comes to nothing. Now
the people can see plainly, if the legislature,
es, how it can be done. Give us fewer laws.
Then the passing of the laws viii cost less,
the legislative printing will cost less-the
printing of laws will cost less. Give us no
laws for five or ten years and these useless ex-
penditures will be cut off altogether, Oar
members work hard but they don't get any
thing done. They are fussy, but finally leave
things where they found them. They remind
us of lazy little niger, we used to have to
chop wood He would let the az fall by its
own weight, and every time it fell, such grunt
would come from him as if he had expended
his utmost force in producing efficient and
deep cutting blow Nobody need be deceived
about the legislature. Especially in matters
of retrenchment, they grunt louder than they
strike hard.-NeU Lisbon Patriot. s47es

Pinckney came from Connecticut, a strong Re-
publican State. At this election, Massachu-
setts-for the first, last, and only tine-cast
the suffrages for Democratic presidential nom-
inee. Her sixteen electoral votes were given
Dir. Jefferson, and, here, Obserue, that this cir
cumstance was stigmatized by Josiah Quincy,
ir., as ''sixteeu evidences of the existence of
the Slave Trade in Massachusetts l' A harsh.
-er expression could not have been employed.
It is intensely significant of the real feeling Of
that time, and shows up sham-Republican pre-
tension in a strong light. This Josiah Quincy,
Jl., was living in 1856, and gave Fremont a
decided and-we will say it-an intelligent
support. He knew what he was about -
Towards the close of Jefersons second term
in 1908, caucus of the old school Republican
members Of Gsngresa nemlnated Mr. Madison
for the Presidency. We notice that the au-
thority of bis name is often invoked by the
modern Republicans Well, hcw many votes
did he receive il New England? But six
those of Vermont. The 10 votes of Massachu-
setts, the Of New Hampshire, from Rhode
Island and from Connections we're given to
c. c. Pinckney, and made up SO of the Al cast
for him over all the Union. Observe this, will
you? Explain it, too!
How was it in 1872, when Mr. Madison was
candidate for election The same story,
exactly. He got the support of but one New
En- land State--Vermont, with her 8 electoral
votes-while the colleges of Massachusetts
-(22), New Hampshire, (S), Rhode Island (4),
and Connecticut (9), declared for Dew Clin-
ton. .-t
Thus, we have established the fact that New
England was as strongly adverse to the old
Jefersonian Democratic party as she is against
the party which in 1859 supports the Admin
istration of james Buchanan. Gainsay our
proofs-let him who can l@
Having thus shown that the stronghold of
modern sham -Republicanism was the strong
hold of the enemies of old school Jeffersonian
Republicanism, we shall next demonstr tie by
the same kind of proofs that the States which
were reliably REPUBLICAN" /" from 1876 to 1872,
are as reliably Democratic now.
In 1885,, Mr.. Jefferson received 68 electoral
votes for the Presidency--all from the South
except IA gwen by Pennsylvania (S) and New
York O2); 20 in all. -
1914, there was no organized opposition to
him, stated above.
In 1913, Mr.. Madison, "old-school Republi
can, carried every southern State except Del
aware.
In 1912, he carried every southern State
except Delaware. Maryland divided-casting
votes for him, and Tor Dewitt Clinton A
the North, he received the support of two
States only; Vermont and Pennsylvania.
| From these facts it will be seen that thu
cold sch ooi Republican" party was much o
southern party as the Democratic party o
to day. And where it was all-conquering, tn
modern sham Republican party does not s.
much exist aud neUcr tticf

PROGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.

The new territory acquired by the United
States during the last seventy years amounted
to l 100000 square miles, which was larger
than the whole dominion of the whole Union
at the close of the war of Independence
What the soil of our country has produced in
twenty years, defes the powers OF arithmetic
to represent ); AID any attempt to state its har-
vest, dizzies the imagination with its immen-
sity. The yield of land in 1855, according to
the Patent Office Report, was 81 300 900 600,
or about two and half times the value of all
the coinage of the nation from the beginning
until the end of 1856. The Indian Corn crop
alone was worth all the gold that ever came
from California. The 165 ,000, 900 of bushels
of 1855, was more than distanced last year.
The cotton crop from million four
hundred thousand in 1867 to nearly three
millions in 1867 land to the millions and
half in 1858. In the manufacture of Iron,
America has reached the point where Great
Britain stood twenty years ago, and increased
her production to one million of tons, which
are three times as large those OF all other
countries combined, by a better industrial poll
cy, and availing ourselves of the valuable
invention of 1857, which applied anthracite
to the manufacture, we shall still more largely
deveiope our capabilities for manufacturing Iron.
The last official accounts fix the manufacturing
capital of 1850 at over Eve hundred millions
of dollars, and the annual production of manu-
tactures, including materials, at over one thou
sand millions. Our commerce exhibits the
same ratio with other branches of industry
and of our 10000 miles of railroads, all but l ;
900 are the work of the last twenty years
This commercial emporium is standing proof
of the wealth. of the country, for the whole
nation contributes to its wealth. The valua-

Earth contains no love like hers.
Every word her lips have spoken,

Every flower her dear hand e.-he,ed,
Whispers some, hing of the dead;

Chalybeate and Oil.

The Spring owned by DR.. Casey, (of long
beard and chronological notority) in Mesopo-
<Amia, is said to yield oil, and the land has
been leased for boring purposes
The unshorn Doctor used to descant largely
on the curative properties of that spring, when
he was in the humor. greatly to the edifcation
of sundry legal gentlemen and others, who
were in search of knowledge under difficulties.
It is probable hat the number of ingredients
held in solution, have increased lately, but the
story is, that as analysed by the doctor, the
waters had Muriate of Soda, Carbonate of Lime,
Oxide of Iron, British Oil. Carbonate of Magne-
STA, Harlem Oil, Hydriodate of Soda, EPSON
Salts. Csrbonic Acid Gas, Silica, Alumina.
and Brandreth's Pills, all mingled in the exact
proportions which would infallibly cure all
'the ills the flesh is heir to" utterly throwing

Geysers of Iceland, and even Rowland Spring

Other Fevers.

The heavy fall Of snow which fell on Fri
day night and Saturday, allayed the skating
fever, which several of the young ladies had
taken, some in the natural way, and others by
innoeulation. 1t had the effect to flush their
faces very considerably. when the fit was on,
hut the cheeks were pale the next morning,
with some painin the bones.
The skating was followed by the Ileighing
fever, and in these cases the color was incli1ed

bowed by shiEerings and a general ehilliness,
when the ride was a long one.-but then as the
bipeds became cold, the quAdrupeds usually
grew warm At the stopping places the order
was reversed, and as the horses cooled down,
the drivers heated up.
On Monday morning some of the young Ia
dies, taking advantage Of their lesp year priv
9ieges, invited partners to a sleigh ride in the
afternoon. Most of the young men frankly
consented at the first proposal, but some blush
ed, asked time to consider, and referred to their
parents. At last all was arranged, and such
fun anticipated-aH the best horses and Eleighs
in the livery stables were engaged, the mufs
and furs were ready; but before the appointed
hour, the warm sun had melted the snow, the
~sleighing went ~, the young folks spirits
went down.
But the young ladies wouldn't give it up
So" With a perseverance which we doubt

the sleighs were exchanged for carriages, and
the ride went on, much TO the delight Of all
