Wise throughout this entire affair.

that no nAn ever killed bis father, or that il
10 possible such crime should DO in nature:

have been Legitimate, suppositisious, or be-
gotten IN ADULTERY. Il IKE manner, :. .on.

Bile TO us, that, when an adherent Of the Whia
principles espouses the Democratic faith and
commits himself unreservsdly to the shirt

THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY,
FOR THE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

It is unnecessary for us to
urge the Importance to the
country Of the success of the
Democratic party in the next
campaign. 1t will possess a
double interest, being both
State and National, and Ohio
is to be the scene of the hot
test part of the contest. Every
Democrat
"Should feel as though himself were he
On whose sole arm hung victory"
No other means of insuring
party success is half as effec-
tive as the circulation of well
conducted political papers; and
county papers are, IN their
sphere, far. more useful than
papers published alta distance,
where the local preferences
and prejudices of the county
are unknown.
We intend to make the
Esprit" during the approach
ing campaign, better than it
has ever been heretofore, and
fully equal to any county pa
per in the State. In order tc
|give it more general circula.
ton we offer the following
terms, Ito be paid in advance)
One COPY for 80 weeks, commencing
Immediately after the Charleston ConveI
ton. IS. cents
TEN COPIES, and one to the get

TWENTY COPIES, and one to the

be credited to him. All subscription
should be sent in against the lst of May
There is not township in the county i
which from 25 to 100 may not be obtair

Fellow Democrats, we kno7

Letter from ClaringtOn.

EDITOR SPIRIT-The last week or ten
days having been eventfrl in our village
and suburbs, deem it not amiss to
trouble you with short account of what
has transpired.
Some of the knowing ones have en-
deavored to fix the time for floods In the
Ohio, at about 20 years intervals, but our
experience for the last few days contra
diets all such calculations. Although
the stage Of water has lacked something
less than 8 feet of being as high as in
'52, yet there has been an immense
amount of damage done.
All the inhabitants had TO leave the
lower story of their houses. with but few
exceptions Those that had two story
houses used the second story, and those
that had but one story houses were com,
PEELED to get the Churches, to the neigh
bors that live on elevated places adjoin>
ing the village. or to the steamers (Ingo-
ing the Inconvenience Of all concerned, as
far as the writer has knowledge, each
ore seemed disposed to do all he could
for himself and neighbors. with the ex-
ception of few that resided sufficient
distance to be out of trouble. but seemed
determined to give those whose own
troubles were enough, yet more. This
they accomplished by annoying those that
were using the crafts that could be obtain
ed for saving property, with request to
ride around the village. At length sew
eral of them were accommodated by 3
young meh of the village, who after con-
veying them safely such distance from
shore that they could readily wade cut
upset the skiff not-caring to get wet them
selves to accommodate their friends with
q short ride.
There were others (and 1 am Informed
names could be mentioned) who under
pretext of assisting in moving goods te
places where they would be secure from
water, moved them so far that the owner:
have failed to find them, viz: to theil
pockets; and some having but a poor hat
supplied their places with new ones.
Irereference to this, one remarked, tha
it was meaner than stealing acorns from
q blind hogs nose" 1 am convinced tha
there are many that follow stealing for {
4 living who would consider such acts be
meath their dignity.
But the water is again within its bounds
and we think in the course of few week
, we will have the houses and other fixture
in their proper places and the mind occu
pied with something else. We are led t
conclude that all places have their ad
vantages and disadvantages. Many n
doubt, residing on the high lands rejoic
Q at their location, not remembering the
: within the last year they have been visit
ed by blighting frost. am just IN
formed that some of the citizens clair
s that their losses from the light fingere
}, persons amount to one hundred dollar
8 each. SUNFlSH.
