Rean POrrIdge.

"Bean porridge hot, bean porridge cold,
Bean porridge but nine days old.
We have celebrated the heroic Bean in prose
and verse. The prose was tolerable, the verse
was poor, but the sentiment was greaf;-in fact
almost equal to the merits of the subject Still
our conscience admoRishes us that we have not
done full Justice to Bean. We are afraid that we
are not equal to the undertaking; but we have
resolved to succeed or perish in the attempt
Future generations shall not rise up and curse
us because we have failed to transmit to them
full account of the glories of Bean.
Look at his greatness as financier We pass
over his operations at Bucyrus, and his $5,OOO
speculation at Washington. and come to matters
at home. Some thirty or more of his Democratic
friends in this county signed note with him at
Bank for $3.50. The note was sued and the
signers paid it with costs, and whistled as they
supped their bean porridge cold. Here was
clear profit of seven hundred and fifty dollars
for Bean When the hero went to war, as we
stated last week, about dozen Union men
signed note with him for 1925. and they re-
ceived dividend of about $l4 each in the shape
of call from the Bank for that amount. By
this neat operation Bean foraged on his enemies
and cleared his outfit and something over. In
addition to this he got trusted for groceries on
the strength of having become good Union
man. and this also clear profit as the debt
still remains unpaid, or did few days since
We could easily find other instances of Beans
qualities as a financier, but these will suffice.
Now if any outsider 1--WE trust we have no sub
scribers Of that sorry wants to live by cheating
his friends, or by foraging on his foes, let him
take lessons of Bean. All those who don't pay
their debts and never mean to, ought to vote foi
him by all means. He their sort of man, as
the Chattanooga Rebel said of Vallandigham.
And consider Beams merits as a patriot and
warrior. Didn't he make Union speeches last
fall? How the memory of them must sicker
his traitorons soul As water to mad dog
so must have been the language of patriot to his
heart Didn't he enlist in Uncle Sans army
Didn't he clothe himself in bluef-(at the ex
pense of Union men) Didn't he march all tn
way by rail to KentuckyP Didn't he accept
hundred dollars or so a month, all paidin Uncl
Sans worthless greenbacks? Didn't he drinl
@rot gut" with perfect looseness in return TO
, his wagesP Didn't he advise men to desert? ]
he didn't shed the blood of the foe, it couldn'
have been his fault, for he offered to fight jim
Miller at the drop of the hat Wasn't he trie'
by a rascally Court Martial, convicted ofdrunS
enness and sent home in disgrace? II the coun
ty forgets such patriots as this, surely republic
are ungrateful. If such tolls and sufferings d
not entitle Bean to be County Clerk, we woul
, like to know what does.
But the time fails us to do fulljustice to Bear
; We are only consoled by the reflection that i
the coming days we shall fill up the measure {

he az Homo and Yote.

Hundreds of votes are lost every year by the
absence of voters from the State on election
day. This year every consideration of duty
and of patriotism requires that this be guarded
against. Every Union man should feel an inn
perative obligation to so arrange his business as
to be at home, and at the polls on the second
Tuesday in October. 1t is time of the year
when merchants may find it convenient to be
absent making their latest purchases for the
winter trade. Let all such bear in mind that
unless the election goes right-unless it goes for
the Union and the stability of the Government,
all their anticipated profits will be absorbed
and it may be their capital entirely swept away
by the civil connections sure to ensue upon the
election of Vallandigham. The election in Ohio
is of National moment. Consequences the most
monentous hang upon the result, as conflict
with the National Government is threatened
and resolved upon in case the disloyal, copper
head ticket prevails Let no true man fail to dc
his whole duty.-C2evelGnd Leader.

Shall the Union Ticket be de-
feated, and our county be given
over to the sympathizers with
Rebels and Traitors?
Tha Motto OF Douglas.

The letter which Gen. Dix sent to the Wis
consin State Convention, OF War Democrats,
was prefaced with the following motto:
~Patrotsm emanates from the heart, fills the SOUL In
fuses itself into the whole man. and speaks and acts the
same language friend Of his country in war will feel,
speak and act his country his county cause
aud hate his countrys enemies. America wants
Wedges the fidelity of Citizen who after war s
declared condemns the justice OF her cause and sympa-
thizes with the en- emy All such traitors in their
hearts," STKPHEs A. DOUGLAS. May -, 1870.
From the above il follows that Vallandigham
and the entire faction by which he is supported,
are "traitors at heart" After the war has been
declared by the rebels, they deny the justice OF
the National cause, and sympathze with the
,enemy. Still they have the presumption to
call on Democrats, who have always held to the
doctrines of jefferson, Jackson and Douglas, to
support their traitorous nominee, who s0Gtche,
and sOaiis oVsr Ae border, for the opportunity
which shall enable him to strike at the nations
heart.

rIn Ohio Campairn.

The Chicago Tribune, in the course of an arti-
Gle upon the Ohio election, says:
"The Copperhead spouters keep carefully out
Of view the crime for which the traitor was
sent TO his friends in Dixie. They never point
ed out the fact that he was engaged in foment-
ing sedition among the people, in advising
resistance to the draft, in encouraging desertion
Of soldiers from the army, and by every means
in his power weakening the Government aud
discouraging the people in their contest with a
gigantic rebellion. The proper way to deal
with such Villains would be 70 try them by a
drum-head court-martial aud shoot them oh the
spot. The government Of any other nation
under heaven would summarly dispose of such
treason -mongers
"Free speech is all right and proper in its
place, but when public safety is put in peril by
libellous pen or licentious tongue the higher
law Of self-preservation demands that curb be
put on it. A man has right to use fire to light
or warm himself but not TO employ it TO burn
up his neghbor's house. The torch may right
fully be snatched from the incendiary's hand
and himself be arrested"

John Nj. smith aud the Know Nothing

John M. Smith and the Know NOthings'
A few weeks since we stated that we had been
informed, on what we deemed reliable authority,
that John NJ Smith, the present Democratic can
didate for Auditor of Sandusky county, was a
member of the Know Nothing organization in
California, and that that party had elected him
to the position of Justice of the Peace. We al
so stated, that soon after his return to Fremont,
the Know Nothing party here run him for the
same Office against DIR. Wilmer. This, we are
surprised to say, is denied by Bean, apparently
on the authority of Smith himself. That Mr..
Smith was run by the Know Nothings OF
this town for Justice of the Peace is known,
perhaps, to two-thirds of the voters of the town
ship and if he had not been member of the
organization in California the order here, we are
informed by persons who were then members
was shamefully imposed upon. 1t was not only
given out at the time that such was the fact, but
also that Ma Smith intended to have nothing
further to do with the Democratic party. He
failed in being elected only because number
of Republicans had become disgusted with tho
Know Nothing organization, and refused TO sup
him, and who voted directly for DIR. Wilmer
And we have always supposed-as it was after
wards stated-that Mr.. Smith went back to tn,
Democratic party because some of the leading
Republicans refused to sanction his nomination
But we do not desire to push this matter.
his own party is satisfied with him, we ought +
be. What he has done 10 deserve their supper
we do not know. He has been dead man i

of those warm and enoblng qualities of tn
heart that would, or should endear him to tn
people. When did he ever perform a noble ac

Democra,,. Tbink of RMS.

Hon. H. b. PAYNE, of Cleveland, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor four years ago, and
Judge Jewett, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor two years ago have both publicly signi-
fed their intention not to support Vallandigham
at the coming election. These are men you
have heretofore professed to have confidence in,
and they cannot reconcile it with their Demo-
cracy or duty, to support this convicted traitor.
When such men as these repudute him, why
should you support him2 If Vallandigham is
a true Democrat and looks TO the best interests
of his country, why should Payne and Jewett
whom you know TO be Democrats, refuse to sup
port him2 The answer is plain. They know
him to be in the interest of the rebels, and il
favor of breaking up this Government. We say
to you, Democrats that you had better think {
thousand times before you do SO infamous al

The London Ifmes has taken up Vallandig-
ham and endeavors to manufacture hero and
patriot out of him. The NslOs in a scathing ar
ticle replies to the Times shows how eagerly it
defends and praises every obscure traitor and
Copperhead it can find to serve its purpose, and
shows the consistency of the Times in whining
about the necessity of preserving the American
Constitution, when only few months ago it
proposed that Gen. Mcclellan should destroy it
by force and assume military dictatorship.
The remarks Of the Ne0s are not only pointed,
but Just, and show that its conductors are fully
alive to the completely of Vallandigham and the
