additional assurance that he or his will never know

thirds OF them were sent to Asia. The emigration
Of that unhappy nation is continually Increasing.

RUSSIA ON THE TREATY or 1Sl5.-The Russian
newspapers very busy about the general affairs
Of Europe. The Northern Bee, which, after the

camp, maintains in of its editorials that the
treaties of 1915 have made their time and ouHired
themselves. 1t ridcules the idea of the eternity of
treaties. Generally, the Russian press betrays the
hate for Austria. The Petersburg Nelgs calls the
reunion of Savoy to France as very dangerous for
Switzerland, supposing that all the great Powers
must disanproye of that annexation.

QUAKERs DISAPPEARING IN hNGLAND--lt is said
that the Quakers are gradually disappearing from
England. Two hundred years ago their proper
ton in Great Britain was about one in every one
hundred and thirty inhabitants. At present they
do not count one in thousand. There is a collec-
tion of old Quaker tracts preserved in the Bodleian
library, with note written upon them bv an OK
ford professor, stating that he had collected them
and placed them in the library, so that persons
who should wish in after time to know what the
belief of the Quakers was, could find the statement
of their tenets in their tracts.

FnsiOn and Confusion.

From the first we have denounced any
Fusion with the Breckenridgers, deeming
them, as they proved on Tuesday in Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, base and truck
ling deserters to the camp of the enemy.
With traitors such as these boiling fusion
lists have proved themselves, there can be
no union without dishonor and shame
Democrats who will not sustain the regular
ly nominated Presidential candidates are
now longer so, except in a name, which
they traduced and malign. In Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio and Indiana, it is this wretched
banditti who float the Breckenridge, disun-
ion flag. Hand in hand with the Black
Republicans they have helped to consum-
mate whatever of defeat the invincible De-
mocracy have sustained. They exult with
a demouiac JOY, beliesing their iniquity has
accomplished the victory of a foe, base
enough and bold enough to accept the CO.
horts of any faction, however lost to hon
or, manhood, decency or Democracy.

B The leaders--remember, we speak oi
the leaders, the democracy, desire to give Mr..
DOUGLAS 1000 majority in Holmes county, at
the coming Presidential election. Their sue
cess seems TO depend upon two things One Is,
the holding in Winesburg of another of their
superb and inimitable democratic rallies
The other, their success in getting their rowdies
to break up few more Republican meetings.
Wherever the latter has been done, the desire
OF the leaders. namely the driving out of their
party all decent men, has received quite good
start in the right direction. They cannot "fuse''
with the Know Nothings because most of the
members of that defunct order in Holmes coun-
ty, are already with them. and the Breckenridge
and Gerrit Smith forces are too inconsiderable
In numbers and of too moral a character 10 make
fusion with them desirable. There is some talk
of bringing to their aid tribe of wandering
Gipsies, encamped in the Eastern part of the
county, but this project does not seem TO meet
with favor from the rank and file, because the
Gipsies claim to be the original "Squatter Sow
ereigns."

RESULT IN HOLMES CoUSTY.-The result in
Holmes county was not altogether unlocked for
by Us. We knew of a largely increased vote
against US by naturalization, the emigration out
of the county was against us. as was also the
loss by deaths, DC. Then there was an unusu-
al effort made by our opponents to bring out
their voters, the lie that the Taxes had been in
creased by last winters Legislation was not with
out its effects either, and the only subject of
wonder really is, considering the means made
use of in the campaign, that We got off so we'll.
The Republicans in the county did wel-our
voters were pretty generally 10 the election
Considering the odds against them, the at
tempts made by their opponents TO overawe and
deter them from voting, we think the republi-
cans of this county deserve large share of
praise for the steadfastness with which they
stick to their principles. 1t is true, the time
when their coanty viii be wrested from the
grasp of those who have for so many years fat
tened upon its spoils, seems to be long ways
ahead. Yet they must not despair, but work
and work, as though that time was tomorrow

The Census of OhiO.-A gain of
10000 in the Northern Dis.
triCl.

Soon after the Assistant Marshals COM
menced taking the census, from the returns
sent In, we expressed our fears that if the
population of Ohio did not fall short of
that of 1s50,it would show but very
small increase. This calculation was ba
sed on the fact that several townships show
ed large decrease. We are happy to
say that our fears have been groundless.
Returns from all the counties in the
Northern District of Ohio, have been re-
ceiyed BY the U. S. Marshal, and we find
an increase in round numbers of 10000
for the ten years last past. The District,
it will be recollected, embraces that por-
ton of Ohio north of the National Road
and not touched by it. The population
Of the District, in round numbers, is 1882,
600. If the Southern District does as
well, Ohio will show very healthy in
crease. - t5o 'f'asa 20 te

RowDrIsM.-The Republicans had a meeting

RowDrIsM-The Republicans had meeting
in Oxford last Thursday evening. Whilst the
speaking was going on company of Locofoco
rowdies procured drum and fife and paraded
to and fro in front the speakers stand, drum
ming, yelling and groaning with all their nights.
The speakers had to desist until the rowdies
passed, when they would go ahead again only
to be again and again interrupted. A number
OF respectable men belonging to the opposition
were present at the meeting, but disproyed Of
the rowdyisln. We have no doubt that these
proceedings were instigated and arranged in
Mlilersburg on the day of our Republican Mass
Meeting, as we heard threats made that eve
ming. that if the Republicans attempted to hold
meeting in Oxford, it would be broken up.-
Is not this disgraceful state of things?

Democratic Pitching In:

The Cleveland National Democrat of the
l1th in an appeal TO the "Old Guard to the
Rescue 7" thus Hpitches in" to the Douglas
faction:
Fanaticism and folly and madness have
had their day. TheIparty helm had been
in the hands of men who have proved
themselves unskillful, or what is worse,
dishonest pilots, and the National Democ-
racy must now unfold their arms and resume
their rightful positition as the representa-
tive men of the Democracy of the Union.
They have allowed braggarts to usurp their
place, in order to let folly have its rgn un-
til it has near wrecked the party. To al
low a little Douglas faction to longer usurp
the place of the Democratic party would
be madness in the extreme. II seemed TO
be conceded point that this be done until
the October election, in order to test the
boast these Douglas leaders made, that
they could carry the State with tornado
like velocity. They had the aid of the
greater portion of the National Democrats
those that were not for them were not
against them, preferred their success tothat
oftheir opponents-they had Douglas, him
self in the State, and with him his can
didate for Vice President, with all their or
atorical powers. Where these men went,
the Republican majority was increased
much of the heavy majority in this county
being attributable to the advent of Mr..
Douglas and his speech in the public Park
in Cleveland. t-'f
The National Democracy of the city
meet this evening at the Breckenridge and
Lane Headquarters, in Hofman's Block, on
the corner of Superior street and the pub
lie Square, to take measures to organize
the city, and with it the county, on Ma
tional Democratic basis. The State Cen
trail Committee of the party are even now
taking measures to perfect an organization
of the State, and thus to take the first
steps again to make Cleveland, the county
and the State Democrats. Braggards
have had control long enough the old
Jackson Guard-that grand reserve of the
Democracy, will now take their places as
the forlorn hope. and will test the courage
of all who cross blades with them. They
will no longer stand tamely by and see tue
party beat by the folly of worshiping one
man-they will take the field in person,
and, under their Democratic leaders, the
chivalric Breckenridge and the gallant
Lane, are willing to abide the result of The
great battle in Ohio.

HELMck DEFEArED.-We regret exceedingly
that Mr.. HELMroK could not have been re-elect-
ed, not SO much because he was Republican
in politics, or because he is personal friend,
but because he was useful Representative, a
class that are sadly deficient in our National
Congress He was ever at his post, never miss
ing vote, and in Committee was looked upon
as one of the most laborious men in Congress.
A number of his constituents can testify to bis
prompt and successful attention to their busi-
ness. The same was put into the hands of
Gen. Burns, who. if he ever gave it thought
at all, it was only when urgently solicited to do
something in behalf of the petitioners. Mr.
HELMcK is moral and temperate man. If his
successful opponent is either of these, he is most
awfully belied.
