To the Democracy or ashland
- 81 IN County:

With this number of the Union my cornec-
ton with the paper, as editor and publisher,
again terminates. After an association of
more thon twenty-five years with the Demo
cratic press of Ohio-haying actively partici-
pated in all the political conflicts of that peri
-od-I now withdraw. VI # .gta
My successor, John j. Jacobs, Esq, is well
known to the Democracy of this county, as the
present able and efficient Prosecuting Attorney,
who has done the party good service, whenev-
er and wherever political duty called him.
II is needless to commend him to the Democ-
racy of Ashland county, to whom he is well
known, and by whom he has been most cordi-
ally endorsed heretofore. We hope to see ey-
ery Democrat interest himself in extending
the circulation and usefulness of the paper
This is alike due to him and the cause.
In, the publishing department., Col. r. S, ia
eobs will be associated with his brother. 1t is
unnecessary to commend his political ortho-
dexy or his genial manners, as they are gener-
ely known and appreciated.
We retire, probably, from the editorial chair
forever. In the discharge of my political du-
ties, I have ever aimed to be conscientious. I
have ever been infexible and jealous in the
support of what I regarded as right men and
measures, and have always been willing to make
every sacrifice, when l could see that duty
clearly demanded of me such sacrifice.
We have supported the administration of
JAMES BUCHANAN, because, notwithstanding
the error of bestowing his official patronage up
on his enemies, it has been one of the wisest,
most consistent and statesnanlike that the
country has. ever had. He has encountered
the most extraordinary and corrupt combi-
nations that ever assaulted an executive, but
i" thesober second thought of the people, which
Is never wrong" will yindicate him.
Permit me to urge upon the Democracy of
Ashland county the importance of union and
mutual forbearanoe-and above all things, not
to permit any conflict of opinion with regardto
men to interfere with the one great object Of
maintaining the Democratic ascendaney in the
county, and of redeeming Ohio from the cor
rupt dynasty which has for several years mis-
governed and dishonored our State.
We return to our Democratic friends of Ash
land county, our grateful thanks for the gener-
Gus support they have given us. Wherever
our lot may be east, we shall ever gratefully
remember them, and sympathise with them in
their struggles. Adieu-

l am much pleased to soc this meeting of so many
of the editorial fraternity. 1t can scarcely fail to
be salutary to yourselves in many respects; and,
among its beneficial effects, it will doubtless
tend to relieve your mutual relations and discuss
ions of that needless asperity which has sometimes
characterized the press While You are free' bold
and firm in expressing your convictions and main
tanning your principles, there is surely no necessity
for acrimonius assaults upon those to whom you are
opposed. In connection with tn 8 point am re-
minded of an aneclote which, perhaps l ought not
to relate. [Cries of ''Tell it, sir!o go on

atty, it was only a way we had of talking about each

plause.
The President concluded by expressing again a
cordial welcome to his visitors, and a wish to take
each of them by the hand. The ladies and gentle
men were then severaly presented, and many pleas
ant words OF kindness were lnterchanged. Tins
interview was universally pronounced to be one Of
the most agreeable incidents of the excursion; and
the ladies especially were earnest and fluent in their
praises of the ~affability and courtesy of Mr.. Blu

Repudiating NationaIity

In the proceedings of the Chicago Conyen-
tionsthe following passage occurs: q
AJudge Jessup desired to amend a verbal
mistake in the name Of the party. It was
printed in the resolutions "National Republi-
can party" he wished to strike out the word
ANational,, as that was not the name by which
the party was properly known: The correc-
ton was made"
This is tantamount to an official Republication

biography OF .abrans LancoIst.

- BtOS f0phy OF abrOfa Lincoln.
The Chicago Democrat, the leading Repuba
ican organ in illinois, gives a biography of its
candidate for the Presidency, which we copy
IN ertenso : :
~ ABRAM LINCOLN, ILLINOIS
He was born in HarIin county, KY, Feb
ruary, 1909; received a limited education;
adopted the profession of the law; was a cap
tain of volunteers in the Black Hawk war; at
one time a Post Master of a small village; four
Tunes elected to the Illinois Legislature; and a
Representative in Congress, from Illinois, from
l847 to 1849. He was the opposition candi-
date for the United States Senate when Stephen
A. Douglas was last elected to that body.
1t is not pretended that he ever distinguish
ed himself in any position he has held. AL
though it is claimed that he served in the
some sympathy with the soldiers who fought
the battles of their country, be turned against
them while in Congress, and voted against
propositions to pay them for their services.
Having "extinguished himself in the halls
Of legislation, and on the field of battle, he
sought to redeem himself by mauling fence
rails, and actually succeeded in making 800
rails-valued at one dollar and fifty cents for
the pile-after which he became fatigued, and
bought a grocery, which he run for a certain
time, accommodating ga pile"
Such is ABRAM LINcoLN-such is the Re-
publican party-such, in short, "is life.
"Man springeth up like a grasshopper." "Short
boss soon curried and ARAM LINCOLN is
probably the "most shortest" horse that was
ever named for President of the United States.
LINCOLN and his party are a joke-a stipend
GUS delusion. But the temper of the people
was never more unfavorable for the reception
of jokes. of this kind.
