The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1860-06-20

~ The Republicans with their ac-
customed fairness are trying to make a
little capital out of the fact that the De-
mocrats are not contributing money to.
ward the circulation of Follett, Foster &;
Co.'S. edition of Douglas and Lincoln's
Illinois speeches. One sufficient answer
to this is that Douglas is not yet the
nominee of the Democratic party, and may
not be. But another and better reason is
found in Douglas letter to Follett, Eos.
ter & Co. upon the subject of this publ.
cation. The following is an extract from
the letter:
Upon the slight examination Of your
publication which have been able 70
make, / find that Mr.. Lincoln's speeches
have been revised, corrected and improv>
ed since their publication in the newspa-
per; of Illinois; while mine have been
nlutilated, and in some instances the
meaning changed by the omission of inter.
rogatories and expressions of approba-
ion and disapprobatioh by persons in the
crowd to which my remarks were made
responsive but by the omission of which
my replies seemed ambiguous, incoherent
or unintelligible. The unfairness of these
omissions and alterations is rendered more
apparent by reference to the fact that
similar interrogatorie and expressions
of applause or disapprobation are retain.
ed in Mr.. LiEcoln's speeches in all cases
where they add to their force, and omitted
where they impair the effect of his argu-
ment.N
Should Douglas be nominated it is
probable that correct edition of these
speeches viii be published The Repub-
licans will not be. SO anxious to have it
circulated.

Price of. Wool.

+ Fcom the best information at hand, we
are inclined to believe that the price OF
wool this season will be about the same
as last year. The last Ohio Farmer says
that the prices now ruling in Philadelphia
for common fleece, is 80 to 35c; for one
fourth blood fleece, 81 to 40c; for one
half blood fleece 42 to 45c; for three
fourth blood fleece, 46 to 49c; for fall
blood fleece, 50d 53c; for Saxony, 55
to 5Sc, There. are said to be an unusual
number of buyers in tue leading wool
growing, districts. oil eager to purchase;
and the ",EGrner''' advises its readers not
to take one cent less for their wool than
they received last year. We are informed
that considerable wool has already been
sold in this vicinity at last, years prices
and in some instances sales have been
made at shade above the prices paid
last year for the same clips, The general
is that last years prices will be
maint tanned. = CadiS Republican. ,,,s5s.
"The Rail Maker"--A Keen Rerort.t
Mr.. Logan, of illinois, speaking at the
New York meeting of the assertion of
The Lincolnites that their. candidate once
made rails, replied: - - .1.,s.,s.s ,c5
II have only this to say in reference to
making rails. If Abraham Lincoln made
rails, it is'no disgrace; but if he had no
brains put in his head by God Almighty,
the making of rails viii not put them
there. He would make q poor President
if he had no other than a railmaking
qualification. Cheers. However, Ste.
phen A. Douglas was also a working
man once himself; cabinet maker !
have, then, this proposition to make: that
we nominate Douglas at Baltimore. and
let the cabinet maker. run against tie rail
maker; and l predict we viii send them
both back their original employments--
Lincoln to making rails, and Douglas to
cabinet making.p hEProlonged cheers
