THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY,
PREsIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

1t is unnecessary for us to
urge the Importance to the
country of the success of the
Democratic. party in the next
campaign. It will possess a
double interest, being both
State and National, and Ohio
is to be the scene of the hot
test part Of the contest. Every
Democrat -
"Should feel as though himself were he
On whose sole arm hung victory"
No other means of insuring
party success is half as effec-
tive as the circulation of well
conducted political papers; and
county papers are, in their
sphere, far more useful than
papers published alta distance,
where the local preferences
and prejudices Of the county
are unknown.
We intend to- make the
Esprit" during the approach
ing campaign, better than it
has ever been heretofore, and
fully equal to any county pa
per in the State. In order to
give it more general circula-
ton we offer the following
terms, (tobe paid in adyance3

@DIED--In Clarington, Jan. 10th, of In
lammation of the brain, CAMILLA, youngest
child of w. F. and L. Booth, aged 4 years
10 months and Is days.
CAMILLA was tender bud of much promise,
and early displayed strong attachment to
things of Divine nature. To one of her
moral qualities the cline of Heaven was better
suited than that of earth.
The early departure of one so lovely has ex-
cited feelings of deep sorrow which nothing
can sooth but the soul cheering truth that "of
such is the kingdom of Heavcn."
II take these little lambs, said he,
And lay them in nv breast;
Protection they shall find in me,
- In me be ever blest." J. F, J.

the State Board of Equalization had increased
We found It SO stated in the Columbus papers
and copied it. The valuation is diminished
four per cent. This was done in distributing
the ten, millions which the Board is authorized
to lower the aggregate valuation of the State.
The Board was of thu opinion that the real
property Of ths State paid more than its just
proportion Of taxes, as compared with the per-
sonal property and reduced it all the law
would allow. Very right.
