destitute of merit, and positively injurious

The ssEIoquent S.ombaUgL-y

The o. S. Journal digs up the following
in regard to the Douglas candidate for At
toruey General:
We see that the Mt. Vernon Banner
warmly endorses the ticket nominated by
the Douglas Democracy on the 4th, aud Is
very complimentary towards Mr. STAN
baugh, the nominee for Attorney General.
To show the estimation which Mr.. Siam
baugh was held by that paper, only four
years ago, we clip the following from its is
sue of June II, 1856:
"An individual named Stambaugb. who
balls, we believe, from Tuscarawas county,
delivered regular humbug, abolition
speech at Georges Hall on Thursday eve.
ming last. Those who heard him say that
be advocated the most abominable revoIu.
tlonary doctrines imaginable. He said he
was in favor of collecting money and hiring
men to go to Kansas to fight against the
laws and constituted authorities. This
Stambaugh we are told, is a candidate for
Congress in this District, and has avowed
his determination to be nominated over
Mayor SaPp. We would prefer the Mayor
any time to such political charlatan.

From the Ohio State Journal,
An UnlmpeachabIe Record.

1t is now nearly three months since the
nomination of Abraham Lincoln as the Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency
During that time his political adversaries
have hunted in vain throughout his Con-
gressional and public record and his pub
lished speeches for points of attack. These
have stood the test of the severest scrutiny.
There is nothing in the past career Of Mr..
Lincoln that is not in perfect accordance
with bis present political opinions. There
are no crooked turns, no evasions, no du-
plicity in bis past life, official or private
All is plain, manly, straight forward and
consistent; and consequently his opponents
finding nothing in the facts to justify an at
tack, have resorted to representation.-
We are sorry to observe that no less per-
sonage than Gen. Lane, the Vice Presiden-
tial candidate on the Breckenridge ticket,
has lent himself to a deception which has
frequently been exposed. In his speech at
Philadelphia he reiterated the exploded
story that during the Mexican War, Lincoln
voted against the bill providing supplies
for the army. The records of Congress-
show the falsity of this charge, aud Mr..
Douglas in the great Illinois debate between
himself and Mr. Lincoln candidly admitted
that it was without foundation. On page
28e of the volume of debates, we find the
following refutation of the charge by Sen.
ator Douglas:
81 never charged him with voting against
the supplies in my life, because knew he
was not in Congress when they were voted.
The war was commenced on the 18th of
May, l946, and on that day we appropria-
ted In Congress ten millions of dollars and
fifty thousand men to prosecute it. During
the same session we appropriated more
money and more men, so that by the time
Mr. Lincoln entered Congress we had enough
men aud enough money to carry on the war,
and had no occasion to vote for any more. )

Ge..r-e Lockwood.

The Milan Free Press of the 8th inst
contained notice of the death Of George
Lockwood of that place, who died on the
9th inst, in the eth year of his age. We
copy the annexed notice of him:
"When the Fire Lands were but sparsely
settled, and Milan but an Indian village,
Mr.. Lockwood removed from the city OF
New York and located here, about 1919.
He was very active in projecting and CON-
pleting the Milan Canal and other improve.
ments, to build up and sustain the business
of Milan. Being one of the few who re-
mained of the early settlers, he had lived
to witness those great changes in human
progress that have taken place in the West
within the past forty years. He had a
large acquaintance in this region of county,
and the news of his decease will come sud
denly to many. His last illness was short
duration, and his family were hardly pre-
pared to part with him. In all the social
rotations of life, as parent and friend, Mr.. L.
was kind and warm hearted, and ever ready
to help the destitute.

RIondIn,s Folly.

The Niagara News thus sketches Blon.
din's performance on the Fourth: "Having
secured his balancing pole, and fastened the
two ends of rope some fifty feet apart to
bis main cable, the rope hanging some
twenty or thirty feet below, he descended
to the center of this slack rope, where, up
on this mere thread, he performed with as
much apparent unconcern as though in a
theatre. With straps around his ankles he
suspended himself thus hanging two or
three feet below even the slack rope. He
also stood up, as boys sometimes venture
to do in swing-this latter feat being to
all appearances really the most dangerous,
for the rope was a mere swing, and very
unsteady. He also whirled himself heels
over head, some fifteen or twenty times,
about as fast as spinner would turn her
quill wheel. People held their breath in
utter amazement at such recklessness. He
ran up hand over hand to the main cable,
where he hung by one leg, &c. He then
proceeded TO the Canada side; occupying
altogether in this insane exhibition twenty
one minutes"

Monsieur Tonson Come Again,

The daily Southern Contederacy is one
one of the rampant Douglas and johnson
organs of the Slave States. 1t thus frees
its mind on the subject of disunion:
"But if the worst does come: if Lin
coin is elected, let as wiM one heart and
mind forget the past, AND GO OUT OF
THE UNION TOGETHER. If we per-
init the Blacks to come into power, and al
low them to govern us, they will, in four
short years, inflict a moral sting upon sla-
very from which it will never recover. We
must not permit it."
Douglas charges the Breckenridge men of
the South with being disunionsts, and pre-
sents non-intervention as the grand healing
salve. But he has neglected to clap a a
plaster over the mouth of the Confederacv,
and it mutters treason as Extensively as be.
fore raising the Douglas nd johnson flag.
The first threat of disunion since the Balti.
more nominations comes from Popular Sow
erelgnty advocates, fact worth remem-
berIng. If the Douglas traitors covet
twisted hemp, "Honest Old Abe" is lust
the man to follow the example of "Old
Hickory" and provide cravats for the dis
union crowd. When they 90 out of the
Union they will be certain to "drop out" as
they deserve, with a six foot fall !-Leader.

serhis is the road TO HelI.n

This terribly suggestive expression was
used the other day by one of the prisoners
now under sentence of death in our county
Jail. The occasion of its utterance was as
follows:
A party went to visit the prisoners in
Jail. One of the condemned recognized
one of the visitors as former resident OF
the same town in Ohio. His widowed
mother lives there still, and some of his sis.
ters. The visitor asked him if his mother
knew of his situation. He said she does,
and that he had received letter from her
but few days previously. Immediately
upon this allusion to his mother, his mind
seemed to wander back to the scenes of his
youth, and the home of his early affections,
and his face gave evidence of an indescriba-
bic anguish of heart, so painful and terrible
that he was pitiable to look upon. He
burst into tears and addressing the visitor
in question, who was lady, he exclaimed /:
"Oh, Mrs. -, little did think when l
saw you in Ohio that would ever come to
such a condition as this. Little did think
l would ever come to so dishonorable a
death as l am doomed to die, and break the
heart of my poor old mother, and disgrace
all my relations. Oh, my God my heart
will burst. never killed Wood, but was
drunk, and was present at his murder
Had not been drunk l would never have
been there. 1t is whskey that has ruined
me. Whiskey led me to bad company, and
it is whiskey that has brought me to the
gallows. The temptations of whiskey
shops first led me astray. Yes, Mrs. -,
the whiskey shop has been to me the road
to hell, and now, if was able, would
have printed over the door of every whis-
key shop in Dubuque and everywhere else,
in big letters that everybody could see,
these words of truth, THIS IS THE Road TO
HELL"
Here the poor fellows head sank upon
his hands and his agony seemed terrible
He doubtless felt the truth and force of
what he said, and all who saw him pitied
him. AS the word of doomed and dy-
ing man, his forcible and agonized remarks
made deep impression on all who heard
him.-DubUqle Herald.

Logan Repudiated.

John A. Logan, known through the Stat,
of Illinois, from speech be made last win
ter, as "Dirty Work" Logan, has been re
pudiated by his constituents of the Egypt
District. He has all along made himself
conspicuous as toady and tool of Douglas
and was candidate for denomination before
the Democratic Congressional Convention
but though he is now serving his first term
he was beaten, and a Breckenridge man
nominated in his stead. This has an uD.
favorable look for Douglas in that great
Democratic stronghold of Illinois. Mean
time Republicanism is gaining ground
there with remarkable rapidity.
