"Oh! isn't lie n Darling"

In addition to the vote of Mr.. LrN-
COLIN for the resolutions of GEo. AsHMAN,
offered in Congress during the Mexican
war, which declared that war wrong, un-
inst and unconstitutional, HARPER's
Weekly in a biography of that individual,
says that OLD ABE votcd against JW
granting one hundred and Sirty acres of
tdnd to each Of the Volunteers yho Serve1
Ill lie thus sought to visit his wrath
upon the patriotic men. young and old,
who at the call of their country marched
to the battle field. This act was worthy
OF tory of the American Revolution
In LlNcoLN's brief public life, he never
dld patriotic act. Talk about such a
man being one of the peoplel 1t is non
sense and worse than that. He hates
the people and his public acts all proved
it. "Ol isn't lie darliny."-,States-

Exceedingly Thin-Skimncd


Are some of our opponents, and they
wiggle, and squirm, and turn pale every
time their eyes fall upon the term BLACK
RepaJbcdm They regard as an opithet
of reproach and get very wrothy when
it is applied to the opposition as party or
themselves as individuals, However
Objectionable its use may seem to the re.
fined sensibilities of our opponents, it is
a truthful adjective expressive of the
quality and kind of party opposed to
the Democracy, and but few words will
satisfy the most obtuse understanding
that the term is not wrongfully applied to
the party, however it may be TO few in
dividuals belonging to the so-caled Re-
publican organization. No one will deny
the fact that the negro occupies a much
larger share of the attention of the oppo-
sition than does the Whae man! When
the Democratic Legislature of Ohio passed
an act defining the term white in the Con-
stitution, and excluding all persons not
purely white from the elective franchise,
the Black Republican Supreme Conrt OF
the State declared the act unconstitutional,
and decided that persons having "a visi-
Bile admixture" were legal votersi The
opposition who call themselves Repub-
licans, by their policy in State Legisla-
ton, invite the emigration of negroes into
Ohio, to compete with the white laborer,
so that the wages of labor may be reduced
by the unnatural competition, and yet
these Republicans, with all these and 9th
er glaring facts staring them in the face,
deny that they are Black Republicans
We have always been in the habit of
calling things by their right names, and
shall continue to do so, without intending
to apply any term of opprobum to any
individual as such, but the party and its
lealerS are Black Republican and nothing
else That is, they consider the interests
of the negro (for political puiposes) par
amount to those Of the white man. The
opposition leaders and presses delight in
calling the Democracy "sham democrat" ["
etc, and while we do not believe in the
application of terms ofreproach to par
ty or individuals, we use the term Black
as a prefix to the name Republican, to de-
scribe the kind or quality of Republicans
they are, True Republicans are Demo-
Gratis, according to the correct definition
of the term Republican, and as the
Black Republican are bogus kind, the
term Black is applied to describe their
quality and kind. So much for the term
to which some of our opponents so much
object There may be some in the ranks
OF the opposition who are IS much opposed
to niGgerism as any Democrat, but all
such should seek other quarters undoubt-
edly: for, so long as they are identified
with party whose leaders are Black Re-
publicans, so long will they partake of
the characters of their leaders. Remem-
Der the fable of the Stork! evil commu-
nications corrupt good manners!' Escape
to the mountains Of Democracy and join
the white mans party, whose shibboleth
is the Constitution and Union.-Hock-
ing Sentinel

pSatiIed on High.

At recent Republican meeting in
Washington city B. Il. WADE, of Ohio,
said:
He believed that the Chicago Convention were
aided by Providence in the wise selection they had
made Abraham Lincoln was no parlor Demo
crt, shouting Democracy. He was one of God
Almighty's living Democracy, and not shouting it,
He is true American, and no other country could
have produced such man. Yet the Democratic
prints say he is not OF the tribe of Judah not one
of the first families and not tit to be President
1t is work of supcrogation to ratily 1t is al.
ready ratified on high and in the hearts ofthe peo,
pie.
1t must be consoling to the wooleS to
know that the nomination of LINCOLN is
ratified" some place. The spurious
" workings at Chicago, which made the
delegates dead" (drunk) "to sim" and
to everything else, may be considered
Benz cyidendence of the ratification on
high. LINCOLN has no more chance for
the electoral vote of the country on higl,
than hc has for that of Virginia,

MIR. Fillmore Will Not Support
Lincoln.

There has been an attempt to produce
an impression that Milliard Fillmore was
going to support the nomination of Lin-
coin The expresident has put quiotus
on this story, and says in letter to a
friend in Jersey City, "if it were in my
power | would at once elect Nessrs. Bell
and Everett than whom better nomina,
tons could not have been made" SO thai
is the end of the humbug story that Fill
more was going to take the stump for
"OLD ABE."

Lincoln and his Record.

The Republican candidate for Presi-
dent has been but little in public life, and
consequently but little is known of his
principles. He was member of Con-
gress one term, and during that time his
record is certainly not very favorable
He opposed the Mexican war, and by his
vote declared it unconstitutional ana
wrong," thus giving aid and comfort to
the enemies Of our country. He also
voted against giving l60 acres of land to
our brave and gallant volunteers, who
were engaged in that war. Let the thou
sands who periled their lives in that con-
test, remember those acts Of Lincoln, and
see that no man shall administer this
government, who has thus palpably
shown himself to be an enemy of his
country -Renton Democrat.

LOUIS NAPOLEON is said to be by race
an Italian, by birth Dutchman, by school
education German, by military education
a Swiss, by practical education an Ameri-
can, by political studies an Englishman,
and by his crown Frenchman.
THE disagreeing action of the two

months before Mr.. Seward repeated it at

A Fugitive Locomotive.

A locomotive recently ran away on the
West Cornwall line, in England. The
throttle-valve having been inadvertently
left open, and fire kindled in the fur
mace, the attendant went away for few
moments; on his ieturn it had left town,
and only ran out of breath at station
some sixteen miles distant, having rushed
down some steep inclines, and over sharp
curves, at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
1t tore up and smashed through large
number of gates, but with this exception
did no damage whatever, and was quietly
led back to its stall, without having
been made permanently vicious by its
tricks, on which particular it manifested
another decided improvement of steam
over horse.

Fowler accidentally wounded Samuel f.

BAND CONVENTION.

The Musical Convention at Wooster,
on Friday and Saturday last, was agrand
affair. Twenty-Five Bands Of music com
pctcd for premiums. The first premium
was awarded to what was called the Ak.
ron Band. 1t is said this Band was COM
posed of choice players from various
places--ono from New York, one from
Pittsburgh, one from Cleveland and all.
other from Columbus. II this be true.
which appears to be well established, it
amounts to no triumph for Akron. The
second prize was the great bone of Con-
tcntion among the remaining bands in
the first class: and we are rcioiced to an
nounce that the Democratic Band of this
place was victorious. 1t is said by those
present that our boys surpassed them
selves. Their performances were greeted
with dcafening cheers. When they start
ed for home the ladies OF Wooster had as
sembled on Main street, and along the
entire length of the street showered flow
ers and boquets upon them. On their
arrival home they were greeted by large
number of Democrats with three dealen-
ing cheers.
The gallant Democracy of "little
Holiness" who arc known and honored
from Maine to Texas for their steadfast
adherence to Democratic principles, have
just cause to he proud of their band, to
rejoice in its triumph and to cherish the
laurcs it has won. Ono of the Judges
very truthfully remarked that it was but
a young band, yet they executed music
with skill that many old bands had fail
ed to perform.
The Republican band, of this place, ac-
quilted themselves very honorably. The
Waltz Brothers won the third premium,
but we learn they did not get it from our
Republican band without struggle
Their performances, were SO highly ap-
preciatcd that their friends of Wooster
presented them silver cup. While thoy
were neither first, second third or fourth
best, they were foremost among the bands
that did not get premiums. The fourth
premium was given to the Mt. Eaton
Band. On their arrival home, loaded
with boqucts, the Republicans assembled
and received them with three cheers.
Not being at the Convention we are un-
able to record all that was said and done
The liberality and hospitality of the peo-
pie of Wooster are highly spoken Of by
those who were present. Their arrange
ments were made on a magnificent scale,
for good time; and it is said, the pro-
gramme was carried out to the letter.

We consider this movement Of hold
ing annual Band conventions, initiated

1t has so far been signallly successful and
is fraught with the happiest results, both
in musical and social sense, and we
chcerfully testify to the improvements of
the Bands which performed on both oc-
casions. No efforts should be spared to
secure the pcrmanancy of festivals which
are alike instructive and entertaining to
the participants and the public at large.
In conclusion we desire to record our
opinion rs to the able manner in which
this convention has been gotten up and
directed, and to the manager, Mr.. Oln-
hansen, the special thanks of all lovers Of
music are due in an eminent degree.

1t will be observed from the above re-
port that the judges-two Of whom were
Rcpublicans--were so impressed with the
importance Of noticing the Republican
Band, that they introduced that band in
their report rs a tie with the Democratic
Band-violaling all the rules of propric-
ty by departing from the established rule,
that in such case judges give their CON
clusions only. There never was tie be-
tween the two bands from this place. On
Friday the Republican Band admitted
their defeat, and on Friday night and
Saturday morning it was first heard, to
the astonishment of all, that the Republi
can Band had any show at all. Why
did not the Republican Band come in for
II prize in the third class e?
