The OANDIDATEs.-- hatever others may
choose to do, shall, if live, vote for Bell and
Everett could not, consistently with my
principles or my felt duty to my country and my
posterity, do otherwise. Personally have kind
feelings towards all the other candidates for the
Presidency. With Mr.. Lincoln have had both
personal and epistolary intercourse. have no
doubt-of his integrity and patriotism, and have
faith that, if elected, his administration would
not be controlled by any kitchen cabinet, and
would be honest and national. Moreover, his
wife is native Kentuckian, and daughter of
one the best friends ever had--the late Robert
s. Todd, Of Fayette. For Mr.. Douglas ! have
strong sympathies, because, against unsurpassed
he has stood up manfuly for his
principles and consistency, and has triumphed
over manifold combination. Mr.. Breckinridge
is an honorable and chivalrous gentieman-we
are personal friends-he was my pupil, and is
my neighbor. e..J lssla
Nevertheless, as i feel it to be my civic duty,
as it has always been my practice, to vote for
my country and not for the mere man, could
not vote for either of those three candidates,

MIANnsBURa, Ono, July 18th, 1850.
Mr.. Mdusy-DKAR SIR :-AsI am receiving
your Spectator" and find it convenient to
write you few lines, although not requested,
will say few words respecting Miami Valley.
There is but little excitement here at this time
concerning the next President. Most people
say Lincoln will be elected; even some Demo
Gratis say 90. On the 4th we heard Dayton give
three cheers for the "Rail Splitter" Daytonre-
ceiyed few of "Old Abess'' rails some time
since; and, Immediately, put fire to them, Civ
ing Us q good hint that they had sutticiency of
timber in Illinois, and, that "Old Abe's" rails
are good for nothing but fire. Chase, Vallsn-
bingham and few others have been exerting
their mental and lngual powers to the highest
degree of action, which will, finally, and possibly
shortly create an excitement, if not tumult.
The Democrats would like "Breck." better If
he bad been regularly nominated" A great
part of them are "on the fence" and likely, will
stay there till the election and then "side out."
All agree that Bell and Everett make good
ticket.
asW We will not now enter into panegyrics con-
cerning the fecundity Of Miami Valley, but will
add that, grain was allyery good except oats,
which was very short--a great deal of it so
short that 1t could not be bound.
We have fruit in abundance, and most of it of
a good quality. ~ ssa -
Tobacco-"M Valley KiDg"-is doing
well; some say it is too large for the time of
year-some will do to topin this month.
Corn is silking and looks very promising.
We will close by wishing You an honorable
success in all your efforts. Yours truly,
CARLOS.

RATIFICATION IN BALTIMoRE.-The Baltimore
American says that the Bell and Everett Ratifi-
cation Meeting in Monument Square on the
evening of the 18th was the first evidence of
real, earnest political enthusiasm that the pres
ent campaign has developed in Baltimore. The
whole Square presented one mass of enthusiastic
spectators, not one-half of whom could get with
in hearing of the speakers. The ward clubs
marched in, each strongly represented, bearing
transparencies, flags, and some of them accom-
panied by monster transparencies drawn by
horses, and bands of music. The stand erected
extended across the whole front of the Court
House, canopied by flags, brilliant with jets of
gas, and presenting most magnificent spectacle.
The speakers were enthusiastically cheered, and
Glee Club of two hundred vocalists, with the
Independent Blues full band, enivened the oc-
casion. 1t was undoubtedly lively meeting,
and even our Democratic friends will admit that
the number present was fully equal to the meet
ings of the adherents of Douglas and Breckin-
ridge combined. There was speaking also from
the front of Guys Monument House during the
evening. gssa8 al

DEFEAT Lincoln, and elect Bell and Everett,
and the country has fair prospect Of peace and
contentment, for many years to come If Lin
coin be elected, we see nothing but clouds and
storms ahead. Elect either Breckinridge or
Douglas, and there is prospect of the same
disturbance, difficulty, turmoil and contention,
which has checked business, annoyed society,
and unsettled the governmet, for the last four
years Give US peace! Give us harmony -
Give US Union! Give US a return, in the ad-
ministration of the Government, to the days of
the earlier Presidents. All this can be effected
by the election of Bell and Everett. 1t is no.

Katies's Secret.


The sunlight is beautiful, mother.
And sweetly the flowers bloom to-day;
And birds in the branches of hawthorn
Are caroling ever so CAV;
And down by the rock in the meadow
The rill ripples by with song;
And mother, too, have been singing
The merriest all the day long.
Last night was weeping, dear mother,
Last night was weeping alone;
The world was so dark and so dreary,
My heart it grew heavy as stone!
thought OF the lonely and loveiess-
All lonely and loveless was !!
can scarce tell why it was, mother,
But oh was wishing to die!
Last night was weeping, dear mother,
But Willie came down by the gate,
And whispered, 'come out in the moonlight,
I've something to say to you, Kate,
Oh mother, to him | am dearer
Than all the wide world beside,
He told me so out in the moonlight
He called me his darling, his bride!
So now / will gather me roses
To twins in my long braided hair;
And Willie will come in the evening
And smile when he sees me so fair;
And out in the moonlight we'll wander,
And down by the old hawthorn tree,
Oh mother, | wonder if any
Were ever so happy as we?

The Baby in the Prison /.

By GRACE GREENWOOD.
A few years ago, visited grand model pris-
on, conducted on the solitary system.
Slowly we passed down the long, melancholy
corridors-now and then entering one of the
cells, to exchange word of human cheer with
its lonely inmate utterly lonely, but for the
mute oompanionship of his labor-that primal
penalty of sin, transformed into q consolation
and blessing Occasionally, we paused at a
cell, but did not enter, being invited by the
warden to look in upon the prisoner, through a
minute loop-hole, in the heavy iron door
Thus gazed upon some of the most hardened
and hopeless criminals in the PeniteDtiary, as
they bent over lapstone or loom, or stood at the
carpenters bench all unconscious that human
eve was dwelling on them watching the dull,
gloomy face, the mechanical movements, with q
sorrowful awe, sombre curiosity, shuddering
vet yearning pity. The women looked thinner,
paler more haggard and despondnig than the
men-though some seemed making desperate
effort at defiance. 1t is hard to defy solitude,
silence and that dismal humiliation of Identity,
where ones very name is merged in the number
of prison cell. Evidently these things told
more upon their spirits than on those of the
male prisoners, and the more quiet and monoto
nous nature of their occupations seemed to wea
ry and wear upon them. Their eyes met ours
with dull and stony expression, or retreated
with shy, evasive glauces. Yet the most sad
and sullen among them followed US to the cell
door, with look of longing and mournful envy
more touching than the widest appeal for free
dom and human cOmpaniOnship.
Ga the floor of one of these cells, we found a
little child-a baby girl, somewhat less than a
year old. The sight surprised me, as the ap,
pearance of La po0era picciola, the poor little
flower, springing up from between the flag stones
of his prison-yard, surprised the sad captive OF
Fenestrello. A pale and sickly blossom this
seemed, though not without certain plaintive
beauty in her wan and wistful little face. She
was very fair-too air;-there seemed no sun
shine in her veins no stir of life in the pale gold
en- hair which hung dejectedly about her waxen
forehead. The eyes were Dlue-but of the dull,
uncertain hue of violets that have grown in
deep shade. fancied they might have caught
all they lacked of light and color from the CLEAN
OF rnnning waters, or the rich depths OF summer
skies. They had, too, strange, blank look
from striking ever against dull prison-walls,
thought. They certainly had not the eager, dis
tant reaches OF expression, flashing out from the
eyes of happier children. Was the infants sight
dwarfed, to suit the dimensions of it's mothers

BUCHANAN ON THE STuMP.-One of the most
disgusting spectacles ever seen in this country,
was exhibited at Washington by President
Buchanan, in descending from the position of
Chief Magistrate to that of stump brawler.-
So malignant are his feelings towards Judge
Douglas, that be is not only willing to bring dis
credit upon himself, but to bring contempt on
the position which he occupies. Not satisfied
with having welded the patronage of the adj
ministraton against the Democratic party of Ill
inois, and in favor of Lincoln, and now against
the National Democratic party, he must mount
the stump to appease his venom and malignity
against Judge Douglas The malignity and des-
potism of this old man have no parallel in this
country, and his actions cannot fail to excite in
tense disgust in every unprejudiced mind. d.-Val-

DANIEL S. DICKINSON DENoUNoEs DOUGLAS.
Hon. Daniel s. Dickinson, who had crowd
of lobby men at Charleston and Baltimore, en-
deavoring to secure the Presidential nomination,
made five column speech at the Breckenridge
meeting at New York on Wednesday night
The following extract shows the tenor of the
whole:
The authors of this outrage, whom we should
hold accountable, and who are justly and direct
ly chargeabe with it, were the ruling majority
of the Now York delegation. They held the
balance of power, and madly, and selfshly, and
corruptly used it for the disruption of the DEM
ocrstic party in endeavoriDg to force it uprto
fixed point to subserve their infamous schemes.
They were there charged with high responsible
ties by patriotic and confiding constituency
in crisis of unusual interest in the history of
the party and the country-they, in an evil mo-
ment, held in their leprous hands the destinies
of noble party and of this great country-they
professed to be governed by honorable consider
ations, and to desire the unity, and harmony,
and success of the Democracy. 9 41s
