The Ohio Statesman says:

BE Explicit.
The Ohio Statesman says:
"But one sentiment, with scarce an
exception, prevails among the noble men
who conduct the Democratic Press OF
Ohio, and that is the integrity of the or
ganization and the support Of the nomi
nees"
A Democrat in or Office requests us
to ask the Statesman, aohich of the moneii-
nees he mseans9 Some of the papers are
for Douglas and johnson, and some for
Breckinridge and Lane. They are all
Democratic nominees" and many
good Democrats, as we'll as our friend
now present, want the organs to be more
explicit. IF they are not, very many
will come to the conclusion to vote for
Lincoln. By the twinkle of our friend s
eye, as he subscribes for the Telegraph,
we guess he will do it anyhow, although
he has never voted Republican ticket
in his life.

manhood taking its place. 1t will be a
long, long time, however, before true,
manly independence becomes universal.
Kings will doubtless continue for some
ages yet, and ordinary mortals' look up
to titled "lords" and painted "chiefs"
with profound reverence. In our own
country, wealth will continue to be wor-
shipped, and power deifed, and craft ad-
mired, and successful Demagogues have
their trains of "lackies" But all this
is passing away with the Advancement of
the age, and will finally disappear. The
hopes of the ardent reformer, to see his
ideal realized during his own lifetime
will, no doubt, be disappointed; but if he
who believes in the perfectability of
mankind will take wide and phil
osophical survey of the tendencies of the
age he need not be atall discouraged. Let
him but do his part, casting what of
truth he may have into the great seed
field of the world, assured that none of
it will be finally lost, but that in the
final conflict between the opposing forces,
truth and right, however apparently
overborne for time, are, in their very
nature, eternal, and will, in the end, pre-
vail.
We hope our readers will excuse this
depression. We intended simply to give
a passing comment upon the speech of
Senator Green, showing the contempt
with which he speaks of laboring men,
AM have unconsciously been led off to
these reflections. The history of other
countries, and the want of manhood man
ifested by so many other people, should
teach us charity where we see men among
us still in the same unfortunate state of
mind. They are simply "undeveloped, -
and there is no use to be offended with
them. They are fast being left in so
small minority that they can do no Sc
rious harm, and may safely be INDUCED
in their habits.

AND STILL THEY COME.

1t is evident, from present indications,
that the Republicans will sweep Ohio
at the next election with such majority
as has been unknown in the history of
parties in this State. From all direc-
tions the news is most cheering We
might fill columns of the Telezrdph,
weekly, with accounts of men in all the
ranks of life, leaving the broken wreck
of the once powerful Democracy, and
enlisting heartily in the ranks of the
Republican organization. Especially IS
this the case with the intelligent and
thinking portion ofthe honest laborers.-
They see that every promise of their
leaders has been broken, and every
charge of the Republicans against them
has been established. They see that
the men they have trusted have betrayed
them, and the very same leaders who
induced them to support Buchanan and
Breckenridge, now denounce their own
chosen chiefs as "disunionists and
traitors while still calling upon them
to support the allies and life long aiders,
associates and abetters of these very
'Edisunionists." They are getting tired
of being thus cheated, betrayed and
demoralized by their connection with
these leaders, and are leaving them by
thousands.
From every part of this county we
are in almost daily receipt of names of
subscribers to the, Telegraph, with the
announcement that they have heretofore
acted with the Democratic party, but
can act with it no longer. A gentleman
of perfect reliability, from Orange town
ship, informs us of sixteen of his neigh
bors, including himself, in Orange and
Bedford, who have, within the last two
weeks, severed their old party ties and
declared their purpose to vote the Re-
publican ticket. He thinks there will
be many more who will pursue the same
independent course. We knop of more
than twenty in Pomeroy who have taken
the same honorable step, and are in,
formed that there are regular accessions
to the German Republican Club in this
place.
IF an earnest, honest effort is made
in spirit of kindness, to spread the truth
among the people, we believe that
''little Meigs" can, and will, give one
thousand majority at the coming elec-
ton. The mass of those who have here.
tofore voted the so-called Democratic
ticket have been honest in their attach,
ment to that party. The leaders, by
their incessant misrepresentation of Re-
publican men and measures, have relied
upon prejudice and passion to retain
the people in their ranks. But the slang
terms, "Abolitionists, - "Woolly Heads, y
"Black Republicans" "Negro Worship.
ers," "Sectionalists, &C., have measure.
bly, lost their power and have come tc
disgust all men of sense and ordinary
manhood And just as fast as they art
enabled to see the use their leaders have
made of the trust reposed in them, they
are coming into the ranks of the Re.
publicans. Let the documents be cir
! culated.

HEARD soMETHlNG DROP.

Once upon time, "Julius Caesar,

circus, where he saw performed the ad-
mirable feat of riding two horses at once
"Julius Caesar then and there felt the
first STRINGS of ambition, and in mental
exultation he soliloquized to himself,
"dis niger kin do dat same, an he will,
too" And straightway he put his re-
solve into execution. Getting up an
old spawned mare and rather unman-
ageable mule, "Julius Caesar" mounted
them, with long heeled foot.upon the
back of each. "Julius' was in his glory
His Grained" animals performed admira-
bly, until they came to large mud hole
in the road, when the mule ''shied" off be-
yond the capacity of even "Julius Ce-
sar's' legs to reach. What happened is
not very accurately described in history
But not long after the "spread' of "Ju-
lius," bis mater came along and found
that "colored individual in the puddle,
scratching the mud out of his eyes. On
being asked how he came to be in such
a plight, he could give no rational ac-
count of it. All he could tell was, that he
was riding the two animals along as nice as
could be, when all at once he 'heard
something drop" and that was all he
knew about it.

upon his two chargers, he got along

distinctly is, that while he was success

length of his little legs, and he "heard

An Outrage on Decency.

An Outrage on Decency.
Our readers will remember the excite
ment raised in Indiana a short time ago
in the case of the Reverend DR.. Daley.
The DR.. was Methodist preacher, and
the President of Bloomington College" :"
He was degraded from the ministry-ex-
PEELED from the Conference and the
Church, and deposed from his Office, for
drunkenness and adultery-the most dis
gusting licentiousness being proved
against him. .... ....
1t was thought that this public expo
sure would send the detected hypocrite,
and unmasked debauchee into obscurity
where public decency would not be in
suited by his presence. But such is not
to be his fate. The Douglas Democratic
Convention of that District has just om-
mated this reverend libertine for seat in
Congress! Perhaps it was thought he
would be fit associate for Sickles and
such like; but is it not intolerable that
decent men should be compelled to serve
in the same body with such characters?
We know our Democrats here are not
personally responsible for the action of
their brethren, and we know, too, that
some of them must feel the nomination
as an outrage. But if they will reflect
a moment, and ask themselves the ques-
ton, whether they are at home in party
which makes such men their leaders? we
think they will see it their duty to dis
sever their party ties.

AS 1t Should Be.
The Republicans of the third District
Illinois, have nominated Hon. Owen
Lovejoy fotrelection to Congress. This
is right. There is no truer, and but
few abler men in that body. Mr.. Love,

-jority. There is no man in Congress SO

the disunionists as Owen Lovejoy,-

ately murdered by mob of Missourians.
at Alton. Hewas Presbyterian clergy
man of great ability, and published a
religious paper in St. Louis, in which he
mildly discussed the moral respects Of
slavery. The mob then destroyed his
press and sought to murder him, but he
escaped their fury for the time being,
and procuring new press, re-issued his
paper from Alton, Illinois. The Mis-
souri, ruf6ans, aided by rabble of the
dregs of Alton, twice destroyed his press
in Alton. But the determined spirit OF
Mr.. Lovejoy was not to be conquered
He procured new press, and before
it was put up, the mob again as
sembled, and Mr.. Lovejoy, attempting
to speak to them from the balcony OF
the warehouse in which the press was
stored, was deliberately shot down by
the murderous gang-three balls passing
through his body, killing him instantly.
1t is no wonder, then, that his brother,
Owen, should feel a deep and irradica-
BILE hostility to the system which pro-
duces such fruit.

TO OUR DOUGLAS DEMOCRATIC
READERS.

. +. d. . !
That there are thousands of honest
citizens in the Free States who verify
believe that in supporting Douglas they
are really maintaining the "right of the
people of the Territories to regulate their
domestic institutions in their own way
we have no donbt. Nor have we any
more doubt that they are totally deceived.
And we desire, calmly and kindly, to
call the attention of such of them as may
chance to read the Telegraph to brief
consideration of the subject.
Every one of you, just as honestly be
lieved, when you voted for Buchanan
and Breckenridge, that you were securing
the triumph of this principle. We
thought you honest in that belief then,
but kne.0 you would be disappointed
In every township in this county we
spoke upon this subject, and, as We
thought, and still think, demonstrated
that Buchanan, if elected, must take the
exact course he has taken. You did not
believe it possible, and with zeal and en-
thusiasm worked and voted for, and Sc
cured his election On the announce
nent Of his success, you rejoiced, no
doubt in the honest conviction that your
cherished sentiments would be carried
out in the action of the Administration
Of your choice. Is not this true?
You now admit that you were utterly
deceived and betrayed by the men you
elected; and you now look upon that
same Buchanan as traitor to the prin-
ciples of his party, and as having wan
tonly abused the trust you reposed in him.
But, in this, are you sure you do him
styict justice. In one view of the sub
ject. your present estimate of the Ad-
ministration is right, and in another, it
is wrong. IF the platform on which he
was nominated had, honestly, and in good
faith, enunciated your sentiments, and
he had then pursued the policy he has
pursued, you would have been fully JUS
tilted in denouncing him as an apostate.
But my friends, such is not the fact
In making this statement We do not wish
to hurt the feelings of any one, and feel
quite sure that a moments calm rehec-
ton must satisfy any fair minded man
that our statement is correct.
Yon now know that the Southern
Democrats did not understand that plat
form as your Northern leaders explained
It to- you. We knew, and everywhere
in the county, as you remember, stated
this fact, and that Buchanan, if elected,
must carry, out the Southern interpreta-
tion of: the platform. And certainly, if
YOU will look. at the matter calmly, with
the light Of the past to aid you, you can
not fail to: sse that he could not have
acted otherwise than he has acted.
Between the sentiments of the South
ern nullifiers and disunionists, and your
sentiments, there was necessarily an If
reconcilable difference The platform
was Intentionally so formed, that while
it really embodied the sentiments of the
slavery popagandists and secured their
unanimous support, it might be plausi-
bly, construed, by ingenious Northern
uolitieiaBs, foy the sake of securing your
votes, iDtoa seeming sanction Of your
views. The Southern leaders knew that

The Harmony of the Democracy.


The Cincinnati Enquirer, on the re-
ceipt of the news of the Oregon election
speaks in this manner of Gen. Joe. Lane
the Democratic Senator from that State
and candidate for Vice President on the
Breckinridge ticket The Enquirer
says:
awe are glad to perceive that Joe
Lane is probably defeated for reelection
to the United States Senate in Oregon
Politically and personally he is un.
worthy of the position. 1t is evident
that the ticket of Breckenridge and Lane
will be badly beaten in Oregon in No
vember."
Now, is not that strange language to
be used by a Democratic organ, of a
Democratic Senator? Lane, it seems, in
the estimation of the Enquirer, is 'spotit-
ically and personally an'oorthy Of the po-
sition." There is not the least doubt Of
the truth of the Enquirer's estimation Of
Joe Lane. But with what virtuous in
dignation would it have repelled such a
charge coming from any other source a
few weeks ago? Then this "politically
and personally unworthy" "Joe" was
the honored Senator of the united De-
mocracy, and one of its prominent can
didates for the Presidency. But the
Convention split in two, and in the
'rafflc" Douglas wins the Enquirer, and
Breckinridge is the lucky drawer of the
immortal "Joe." And therefore he be-
comes, to all good Douglas men, the
ching described by the E'quirer.-
"Oh! how good and pleasant thing ii
is for brethren to dwell together in
Unity!"
