The Peoples Man.

No man has been before the American
people as candidate for the Presidency
since the days of Jackson who was in
every respect so cmphatically THE PEG
PIES MAN as DOUGLAS. Ho has in an
eminent degree all those qualities that
Americans love and ADMIRE no matter in
what station of life they are found-in
domitablo energy, untiring industry and
uuconqucrablo pluck. In his vocabulary
there is no such word as fail he has new
or known it yet in whatever he has at
tempted, and he will not know it now.
1t was the spontaneous choice of the peo-
pie that made him so prominent caudi-
date above all other men for the position
he now occupies. 1t was neither power
nor patronage, men in high places nor
it was cmphatically the people who urged
him forward, not with the aid of power
and patrons and politicians and leaders,
but in spite Of them. 1t was tho people
who rallied TO his support for the conf
dcnco they have in the man and the deep
conviction that the principles he repre-
sents form the only true basis upon which
our institutions can rost, and the fact that
they were opposed by tho powers and pol
iticians has lent ten-fold impetus TO their
movement. His nomination was a tri-
umph of the people over them, and his
election will be another triumph of the
people, They are coming to his support
from all sides and all parties. The dem
ocratic masses arc all with him, just as
they always have been, and men arc
llocking to his STANDARD from all Other
parties-from tho old-lino wing, Tho
American, the black republican, and all
Let them come. Not a. day passe:
but we chronicle large accossions to Tho
cause Of truth and right, though the hal
is not told. The currrnt that runs strong
and deep has set in that direction, and i
is only as il bears along men who hav,
been in any way prominent that the fac
is noted. Let it sweep onward, bearing
scores, hundreds and thousands in it
course The enthusiasm has been kindlcC
and will increase until November sweep
ing away all opposition, and all who d.
not fall in with it will DO left high an,
dry upon the sands and tho rocks. Tn
people arc becoming aroused. DOUGLAS i
their man, and they will sec him safel
through. The politicians once combine,
TO put JACKSON down, but the poopl
put him up. The politicians have agai
combined TO put DOUGLAS down, but tn
people will take caro- Of him, Just as the
did Of JACKSON thirty years ago.

As business calls US from time TO time
in various directions through our county,
we are struck with the marked changes
in this respect. In towns where but a
few years since naught but dense forests
covered, the bosom of mother earth, the
broad acres of the hardy yeoman sur
rounding the neat and convenient farm
house, devoted to the productions of the
grains, grasses, &c, give upmistakable
tokens of thrift and prosperity. nas
We are proud of the Grand River Val
ley in general, and this portion of it in
particular, for its peculiar adaptation to
aOheat groWing. Never have we beheld
such luxurious growth of tho cereal as
has just been harvested from fields in ey-
cry portion of our county. Indeed, in
many places so great has been tho growth
of straw, and so badly lodged, that resort
to the sickle has been found necessary !;
and sisty dozen of bundles, as largo as
could be conveniently bound, have, on
several farms, been realized from the acre,
which will doubtless yield-as the heads
are well filed and the berry plump--at

Ross County DemocratIc Ticket

Bya letter in another column it will be seen
that the Democracy of Ross nominated their
county ticket on Tuesday last We have the
pleasure Of an acquaintance with all of the
successful candidates, and, of our own knowl-
edge, can vouch for their ability, Democracy
and popularity. We have no doubt but that
the Democrats of Ross will ratify the action of
Tuesday Convention by triumphantly elect
ing the ticket nominated We doubt whether
there is a county in the State which can pre-
sent a ticket composed of men better qualified,
truer Democrats, or more popular, than the
Ross County Ticket
