RATHER HARD on ToD.-The New Lisbon
(Ohio) Patriot is rather severe on Tod, the
recreant Governor of that State, as will be
seen BY the following extract from its columns:
"PooR DAVE TOD.
We always pity the sorrows of poor old
man. Poor Dave Tod! He sprang up like
the 'sparagras, hoped about like the hop
pergras and now be has died like the jack
ass" He thought the blossoms of his great
ness were ripening, but cruel frost had nipped

the Constitution its grand platform, and class
this mad Abolitionism where it belongs, with
Southern disunionism, with which it once openly
affiliated, and which it now lab0rs to aid.
When such men as Seymour and Parker, are
exhibiting the magnifcence of their patriotism,
who can doubt that there is loyalty of the
noblest kind in the hearts Of the Conservative
of the North? The utter failure of radical
measures and men is, alas ! too plain now.
