The receipts of tolls on the Canals of Ohio
for the quarter Feb. Is, 1860, show a total Of
s9l 1878, decrease of sII ,273 as compared
with the same period last year The falling of
in great msasure is attributable to the differ.
ence in the season. The severe weather caused
the canals to be closed early and almost contin,
uOusly during the quarter.

FREIGHT FOR EUROPE.-The last Saturday g
English steamer from Portland, could not take
all the freight offered. The Portland papers
are very properly jubilant over the fact, and
speak of the Grand Trunk Railroad as the
great artery to the far West.

U. G. R. R.-The last Ravsnna Democrat
says:
The Underground Rail Rail is doing an &C.
tive business just now. A full freighted car
passed through on Wednesday, loaded with
passengers from Old Tennessee" They
changed conductors, and were off to Canada
where cOlOIed men are free. Among the pas

wealthy planter, who lives "waY down in Ten

The Population of the 18th
judicial Circuit.

The rapid increase of population in
this section of the State is truly crafty
ing to us all. When we consider the
fact that only six years ago the popula-
ton of all the counties comprising the
Eight judicial Circuit amounted to but
little over four thousand, and that now
there are over thirty-three thousand in
habtants within the same area-an in
crease of almost 500 per cent-we have
no reason to complain that this portion Of
the State has not received the benefits of
a goodly influx Of emigration during the
time.
We get these figures by comparing
the number of votes ~polled for Judge in
1854 with the number poled for Judge
at the election April Sd, 1860. In 1854
there were but 5S3 votes cast in the en-
tire circuit, which (sevcn inhabitants to
one voter gives US 4O11--the number
of inhabitants at that time. At the last
election 1880 votes were cast, which by
the same ratio, indicates a population Of
SO, an increase of 10000 in six
years.
st. Croix and Pierce counties have in
creased more rapidly in population that
any other portion of the Circuit. There
were 121 votes polod in Pierce county,
and IA in St. Croix, in "a. At the
late election 998 votes were polled IN
Pierce, and 1lO6 in St. Croix county.
1.-THE population Of the counties which
are now embraced in this Circuit, in :
crease during the next six years in pro-
portion as it has increased during the
past six years, we shall have a popuIa-
ton OF 100000 in 186G.-Nortb Star.

j Usk "a Word.

The N. Y. Tribune says great many
good things, but seldom any better than
are contained in the following article.
Young friend, you are anxious to do
your part in the great Reform movement
which the People are now inauguratlng,
and which is to secure the triumph of LIN
coin and Hamlin in the election of No
vember next. 1t is ncb 9 aspiration and
may be nobly realized. But don't imag-
inc that you are required to neglect your
proper industry or business, and tramp
from meet G to meeting ma
king yourself lame, singing or shouting
yourself hoarse, and drinking yourself
drunk, in order to effect your laudable
purpose, The Cause demands Of you no
such sacrifice, nor would it be subserved
thereby. Give your hours of labor to
your proper duties, and let attendance on
political gatherings be your occasional
recreation rather than your habitual en-
ployment,
If you desire, young Republicans, TO
aid the progress of the Good Cause, choose
the silent rather than the noisy channels
of influence and persuasion. Procure
copy of the Illinois discussions between
Lincoln and Douglas, and master the ar
guments, not on one side only, but on
both sides Of the great question. Keep a
few copies of Lincoln's speech in this city
at hand, and when you hear anyone
brawling that the Republicans have nomi-
mated second rate man, just ask him to
read that speech and then judge-if its
author is standardization irresistible
the Arguments of our .tf,st-rate champions
must be. There are One Million Voters
to day in the Union whom the perusal
of that Speech would favorabiy effect =
there are many thousand whom it would
win to our side. Distribute it freely a.
mong your friends and neigbtors, and
ask other Jealous Republicans to go and
do likewise. Then take Mr.. Grows APP
peal for the Homestead Bill, with Gov.
Stewards and other convincing speeches,
aud give them the widest possible diffu-
sion. If there are German or other voters
in your neighborhood who cannot read
English, supply them with the best doc
uments in a language they can read
But keep quietly and steadily about your
own business each day. and let it not be
said you have deserted or neglected it in
wild goose chase for Office. So shall
you be an effective worker for the cause
Of Free Labor, without having put at
hazard your social and moral well-being
or the bread of honest industry and man
ly independence.
