THE WHIsKEY AND YHE NEWSPAPER
A glass Of whiskey is manufactured from,
perhaps, dozen grains of corn, the value
Of which is too small to be estimated. A
pint of this mixture sells for one shilling,
and, if good brand, is considered well
worth the money. 1t is drank in min
ute or two. 1t fires the brain, sharpens
the appetite, deranges and weakens the
physical system. On the same sideboard
upon which this delicious beverage is
served lies newspaper 1t is covered
with half million Of types-it brings IN
telligence from the four quarters of the
globe. The newspaper costs less thar the
glass Of grog, the juice Of a few grains Of
corn; but it is no less strange than true
that there is a large portion Of the commu-
nifty who think corn juice cheap, and the
newspaper dear

Democratic organization.


To msure success, the first object to be
attained by political party is the COM
plete organization of its members. Never
before in the history Of the Democratic
party was it more important than now,
that all Democrats should stand together
as band Of brothers, prompted by the
same lofty spirit aud striking the enemy
with a common hand, The issues now be-
fore the country involve the very existence
Of popular liberty, 10 preserve which is the
high trust OF Democrats.
The organization of the Democracy can
not be entrusted to State Central Commit
tees, alone; each county is responsible lol
its Own work. having the promotion OF
Democratic principles in view Wewritt
now looking to the interest of Montgome'
~ County especially aud we ask ON
Democratic brethren, W neither or not oul
organization is complete for the share W,
must take in the approaching State elec

The Democracy throughout Ohio keep 1
constant eye upon Montgomery County

we are expected to present an unbroken
unwayering front in this contest. There

it TO THEN friends all over the State t
make their organization not only strong
but enthusiastic; while the personal prid

every exertion which spirited, high ton

We urge therefore upon the Democrat
of Dayton the immediate organization I

our brethren throughout the county Il

good work, iuaugurated here, will ca

The cordial greeting extended to Mr.
VALLANpIGuAM at Windsor, Canada, upon
his arrival there several days ago, by a
large number of American citizens who
had crossed the line to shake the patriot
exile's hand, was truly happy occasion.
The scene was deeply affecting. There
was the abused and persecuted Statesman,
on foreign soil with spirit erect and firm,
though denied the protection of hls own
National Flag and there, gathered about
him, were hundreds OF his fellow Ameri-
cans who had sought his quiet retreat II
