THE POPULAR WILL
TO BE "
Greenbacks and Lies!!
stupendous Developments. :,
A FREEMEN, READ.

One of the most extraordinary disclosures
of corruption known in our political annals,
even in our degenerate times, is given below.
We ask the FREEMEN of Ashland county
to read, reflect, and ACT, while there is yet
time! Bayonets and Punishment having fail
ed to appal the People, a Corruption Fund,
such as was never heard of in the partisan
struggles OF this or any other country, has
been raised and is to be employed to circum-
vent the popular will.
Let the intelligent reader take his pencil
and figure the amount which will be raised
from the Federal ofscers-including Post
Masters, Deputy Tax Assessors, Tax Collec-
tors, Provost Marshals, and Quarter Masters,
Chaplains, Contractors and Cotton Thieves in
the Army, IN ADDITION 10 the Five Hun
dred and seventy-fve dollars, and he will dis
cover a total of from fifteen hundred to two
thousand dollars as the quota of Ashland coun
ty.
Add to this the amount which will be for
warded directly from Washington, to be used
as in the State of Connecticut and in Cincin-
natl at the last spring elections, and some idea
may be formed of the extent to which money
is to be employed to corrupt the elective fran
chise.
In addition to this direct expenditure of
money, let it be remembered that our oppo-
nents possess other instrumentalities Of cor
ruption which they are unscrupulously using
that all the Rail Roads and other chartered
Companies in Ohio are in the hands of tie al
lied despots, and the uncorrupted People will
discover the imperative necessity of the exer-
else of that eternal vigilance which is the
price of liberty!
Now, here we are in a county where the
friends of despotism are confessedly in a mi
nority- The only patronage in the county is
Washington patronage. None is derived from
the People. What, then, will be the levy in
counties where the Abolition thieves are
'monarch of I'LL they survey ?" Let men
skilled in figures make the computation.
But for WHAT PURPOSE is this unprece-
denied amount of money raised Are any so
blind as not to see? Are any SO stupid as not
to discover aohere we have drifted
But we append the precious document,
waving further mme for the present:

SEWING MACHINE s.

.
THESE Machines make the lock-stitch alike on
both sides, and use less than half the thread and
silk than the single or double thread foop-stitch
Machines do will Hem, Fell, Gather, Cord, Braid,
Bind, &c., and are better adapted than any other
Sewing Machine in use to the frequent changes and
great variety of sewing required in a family, for
they will sew from one to twenty thlcknesses of
Marseilles without stopping, and make every stitch
perfect, or from the finest .gauze to the heaviest
beaver cloth. or even the stoutest harness leather
without changing the feed, needle, or tension, or
making any adjustment of Machine whatever ~
They are simple in construction, and easily un-
derstood and if any part is broken by accident, ii
is readily replaced.
These are PECULIAR FACTS, and viii go ia,
to determine the choice of any intelligent buyer.

The draft

The telegraph contains a Tribune special
that there is no truth in the report that Ohio
has escaped the draft. Why don't TOP or

The Draft in Rhode island.

In Rhode Island the draft is completed, and
the work of examining the drafted men is
nearly through. We have found, says the
Providence Post, some able bodied men, but
they nearly all pay their continuation fee or
get substitutes. Thus far only nineteen draft
ed men in that State have put on the federal
uniform -ErcAange.
This is as desired by the Abolition thieves.
