The Canvass in New York.

The New York Republicans have taken
the most efficient steps to secure thorough
organization and canvass of the Empire
State. They leave nothing to guess-work-
nothing to hap-hazard, The Republican
State Committee met at Albany on Thursday
and laid out the campaign work. It COM
prehends very thorough preparations for
mass meetings in ,he different counties, to be
attended by the most able speakers whose
services can be secured, the distribution o.
canvass books, and an immediate canvass Of
every School District in the State. The
County Committees are to receive the canvass
books and to distribute them to each School
District.
The example Of the Republicans of New
York in making complete School District
canvass of the State might be followed with
great advantage by the Republicans Of every
county in Ohio. Such thoroughness, follow
ed as it would be by other judioiOus efforts
in the way Of meetings, documents and con-
situations, would add thousands to the Re-
publican majority in our State. No doubt of

EDITOR LHADER:- - Wednesday evening the
Republicans of Norwalk held meeting at
The Court House - listen to speech flom
0. E. Kellogg, Esq, OF this place. The Court
House was crowded from the commencement
10 the close of the speech with attentive lis
teners; the speaker giving US one Of his most
interesting and telling speeche'. The Wide
Awakes being out in full uniform added
much to the interest of theIoccasion.
The Democrats held meeting the same
evening to organize Douglas Club. They
are also making arrangements for the erec-
ton Of two roles to be placed opposite each
other, perhaps, to show that their two candi-
dates Douglas and Breckenridge, or rather
the two wings of the party, at their conven-
fence, can be merged into one md cORcen-
trAted on our candidates. We are truly en-
couraged to battle on for our candidates, rest
ing assured that we shall triumph, if we do
our duty. Y.

the hunt had been given up or he had lefl

for on the 9th ult six deputy Marshals sent
out by 0. s. Judge Miller, made another un-
successful attempt to hdnap Booth, at Utica,
Winnebago county. At the break of day
they visited the house of Mr.. Pickett where
Booth was staying, and demanded his per-
son. An attempt to enter the house was pre-
vented by Mr.. P, who defended his castle
brayely. He told them he had twelve men
in the house and arms, and that Booth would
shoot the first man who attempted to arrest
him. A parley was held, the officials sent to
Ripon for help, and Pickett sent out messen-
gers who rallied the people. The officials
were in turn put in durance, and were final

BurIingame and Douglas.

Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, recently
put Senator Douglas in tight place in reply
ing to some of thereckless Misrepresentation
of the Republicans by Mr.. D. on the stump.
It appears that Mr.. Burlingame, of Massachu-
sets, who was also at one time quite init
mate with Senator Douglas, has felt himself
justified in relating some of the conversations
that passed between them. The provocation
orjustifcation is in the recent unfairness of
Mr.. Douglas towards those Republicans who
were associated with him in the Lecompton
contest.
In recent speech of the Hon. Anson Bur-
lingame, at Belfast, Maine, be referred to his
confidential relations with Mr.. Douglas. Up
on this matter, writes a Belfast correspondent
of the Bangor Union, give you Mr.. Burlin-
games own language. He said; ,ur r,ou,l az
IN ms own house. On those occasions Mr..
Douglas freely made use of expressions of the
deepest indignation against Southern dicta-
ton" also had a private interview with
Mr.. Douglas, continued Mr. Burliagame.) on
the occasion of his late visit to Boston. Mr.
Douglas then made use of this language =
"Burlingame, am elected Senator for six
years. | have got Joe Lanes head in the bas-
ket, and shall soon have SHdelrs, Brlghts
and fltch's. Won't it be a splendid sight,
Burlingame, to see McDougal returned from
California. Baker from Oregon, and Douglas
and 'Old Abe all at Washington together
for the next President is to come from IL
linoisr'
Mr. Burlingame then e1horted the Douglas
men to vote for Lincoln, both to revenge the
wrongs done their favorite by the Southern
Democracy, and to carry out Mr.. Douglas
wishes-''for," said Mr.. B., "what else than
the election of Lincoln could Mr.. Douglas
had in view when, in his recent speech at
Rocky Point, R. L, he declared that he never
on earth, would sgree to union with the
Breckinridge men2" "This," said NIB.
'means the election of Lincoln, and nothing
else" -..'.-'.'-

Breckenridge In Luoas County.

The Nationals in Lucas stand right up 10
the rack, fodder or no fodder. They held a
County Convention in Toledo on Friday,
and nominated full county ticket headed
by Ralph Tarbox for Probate Judge. A res
olution was adopted recommending Judge E.
D. Potter as the Democratic candidate for
Congress. The Judge addressed the Con-
vention, and said there were about 1000
voters in tho district who did not want to
vote for Steedman or Ashley, and he thought
it his duty to let them support him if they
wished to. He expected, if able, to visit
every part of the district, and explain to all
who saw fit to hear him, the true principles
of Democracy.

The figures Of the census men have 50 taken
the starch out Of the ptiff eaiimqtes of poPu-
lail9n in towns and cities that very many
are disposed to doubt the correctness of the
enumerations. The fact, however, that the
falling of from estimates is general, initiates
against the suppositiOn Of serious errors in
particular localities, and shows the common
disposition of the people of populous places to
over-estimate real numbers. II is very nat
ural to do 80, and without intention to exag-
gerate. It isso in estimating the attendance
at public meetings, and crowds everywhere.
An underestimate is made very seldom in
deed, ~. li.'l
Some disposition has been manifested to
carp at the census returns Of Cleveland, but
which we frankly confess exceeded our ex-
pectatons aftsr seeing the totals in Colum-
bus, Dayton, Cincinnati, Chicago, &c. We
are satisfied that Marshal Johnson's Assist
ants have been very faithful in their enumer-
alton, and that complaints Of omission in
nearly every instance are groundless. The
Marshal and his Deputies could have had no
possible object in reducing the population Of
Cleveland below the actual number, but
on the other hand, it was a matter Of pride
as well as interest to make the census as full
and complete as possible. That they have
done so is shown very conclusively by Mar
shal johnson in reply to the assaults of the
Herald, in an article published over his own
signature in the National Democrat Of the Sd,
in which be proposes to donate to the Orphan
Asylum Of this city all the fees that he will
be entitled to for taking the census Of the
city of Cleveland, provided the names of
twenty-five persons who resided in this city
on the first day of june last can be furnished
him, whose names are not now found in the
schedules.
AS the Herald is silent on the subject of
Mr.. Johnson's statement perhaps it has &C
cepted the Marshals proposition and has set
its bogus Indian resuTrectionist in hunt Of the
missed twenty-five. If so, the Asylum will
be likely to realize less cash by hundreds of
dollars than the Herald establishment did out
of the bald and deliberate humbug it aided
the base personifer Of the lost Brayton to i'm
pose upon a too credulous family and public.

SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS IN WISCONSIN,
The people of Barton, Washington county,
Wisconsin, are in a fever of excitement over
strange noises which have been heard every
night for some time past, in house in that
village. A school held in the building has
been broken up, and the community is scared
generally. The Milwaukee Sentinel says:
The strictest scrutiny and investigations
have takeu place by all sorts of people and
yet the agency of these manifestations re-
mains undiscovered. The house has been
thrOnged by the curious, unbelievers in spir-
itual manifestations, and yet the raps, loud
and hard enough to jar the very building,
would continue, the doors open suddenly,
and slam together without any apparent
agency-not even the faintest breath Of wind
and other unaccountable things transpire.
