Lincoln Prices,

The Chicago Journal, an Abolition paper.
gives the following statement OF the present
prices of the leading articles of living in that
city. These rates are about the same that
prevail all over the country, and are the result
of the Chase Lincoln policy of flooding the
country with an irredeemable paper cur
rency:
First upon the list is -four, which costs So
so per barrel in the Garden State of the
Union. Winter butter, from Wisconsin, sells
readily at fifty cents per pound. The best
white sugar is held at 81 cents, while "a" 1
coffee sugar commands 25 cents. The dirti
est brown article costs Is cen:s. Choice pota-
toes can be purchased Of an obliging grocer at
81 IS per bushel, Java coffee sells for fifty
five cents, and Hio for forty-fve. A good ar
ticle of tea commands 50, while an ordinary
brand: costs half a dollar less. Hams are six
teen cents, and eggs have fallen to twenty.
Cheese is aoW only twenty-five cents per
pound.

The Taxes Of Ohio.

The State, County and Township Taxes of
Ohio, this year, will amount to over twenty
five millions of dollars. The National direct
tax will be about fftevn millions, while the
indirect tax can be felt in the price of clothing,
provisions andall articles of necessity and lux
ury. How long at this rate can we afford to
keep in power the Abolition Administration
IF the "sober second thought" of the people
does not prevail this fall. and the administra-
ton be changed, we will have bankruptcy in
its worst form upon US, and it may come be-
fore November. .s -

Change of Rulers Demanded
Make the Issue Square.

We hope the Abolition party will not now
throw aside Abe Lincoln as it did Dave Tod
in this State.
We Believe the people demand a change of
rulers, and we would like to see the American
ncople set rs a Jury upon Abraham Lin
ccln.
His administration has been q blunder from
first to last; his blunders in the management
of the Armies of the Union have been fruit
fol of disaster. He has raised up a mountain
of public debt that a hundred years taxation
will no. obliterate; he has given reins to the
most reckless extravaganza, and his Admlnis-
~tration is VIGOROUSLY the most CORRUPT and DIS,
honest the world has ever seen, and has well
been pronounced by one of his own friends "a
broad aud continuous farce in the midst OF the
terrible tragedies of this gigantic civil war; y
Let Lincoln be nominated-let the issue be
made square, whether the people believe him
to be the man to accomplish the great work
before the man elected to the next Presidency.
We believe they will make a change, and re
pudiate Abe Lincoln and his party Seneca

Another Defenee.


Jef's attempt at defence against the charges
ofssWiudlins and trying to bride, are worthy
of note only for their righteousness. In reply
to the charge that he tried to bride Roller
with an offer of $50, he says as follows:
eve did tell Dir. Roller this, that in view
of his labor as treasurer of the Bounty Fuad,
he ought to be paid the amount of his sub
scription, $50, and that we were willing that
it-should be done, and trust it will be yet, for
he has richly deserved it. This is what we
did say, nothing more, nothing less"
This is rather a cuto way of getting around
it, but if this is true, JEFF, Why did Jou make
this open, fair, business proposition, as you
would have community believe it was, in SO
private q manner. Why did you try, when
Offering the $50, to seal Mr.. Rollers lips, by
giving it as a confidential communication to a
member of an Order to which you used to be-
lOnga Why did you not tell the people when
you first denied this charge that this was all
you did, instead of taking a week more to
study up this leP These nrs questions you
cannot answer. You were scoundrel enough,
not only to take tho money from your neigh
bors and. the soldiers, but to use that money
70 Day to secrecy those who Oere then beginning
70 sa.pcci, and uho intimeted to your face
yozr UiUainy.
But here is another of Jefs heavy argu-
mentative deductions. In the same article
from which we extracted the above he says:
"But Is it not singular that the editor of the
Onion should in one breath publish in the
columns of his paper that on the day We re-
turned from Columbus We offered a bride to
one of our citizens If he would help US cover
up our frauds, and in another breath publish
that on the game day we turned another citi-
zen out of our Office for accusing us of fraud.
The story don't hang together"
1.-THE story don't hang together!!!' Well
that IS strange. Because having offered a
bride. and being charged with fraud upon tho
same dog, it "dont hang o ether." Bu.
Why was "the citizen" turned out of the Office.
Simply because, when he charged the fraud,
he struck q sore place in Jefs carcass, and
the sting enraged him.. BuS VIC may add here,
by way of parenthesis, that JEFF didn't turn
s.the citizen out of his Office. He told the
citizen 10 leave, and the citizen, VIM. 7 John
ston, left-when Re got ready-but not until
he had given JEFF a piece of his mind.
Button the same day that JEFF offered the
bribe, Johnston charged him with fraud.
Jeff then must have known that has frauds
trere kno,on, and for this reason he offered the
$50, and his claim that it would be ridiculous
that he should 60 to Roller and announce the
fraud, falls to the ground.
But there is no need to repeat the charges.
The fellow is caught and tied. His wriggling,
tBistings, and lies only get him tighter in the
m,shes that surround him. Let the miserable
devil go,-for the present.

EET The Committee appointed by the meet
ing at the Town Hall 4 week ago last Satur-
day have as yet done but little mainly on ac-
count of the absence Of Mr.. ROLLER, who is
East buying his spring stock of Hardware
For the same reason there is no reply to the
attempt of JEFF to pat Mr.. ROLLER in an
equivocal position By denying that he, JEFF,
offered ROLLER $50 to bride him to secrecy
upon his bounty fund swindle. Mr.. ROLLER
asserted this to a number of persons and 20
man will for a moment disbelicve it.
That secret society arrangement that you
attempted to como upon this matter, JEFF,
wouldn't work, for uery good reason. 90
you want to be exposed upon that too.

S. P. CHASE.

This letter, in striking similarity to the one
of Senator CHANDLER. of Michigan, in which
he declared the Union was worthless without
e little hfood-letting, show the spirit that ac-
tuated the party then about to assume control
of the Government There was q greater
disposition to compromise than CHASE liked
to see. Compromise measures were at that
time before Congress demanding the grave at
tenticn of Cur profoundest statesmen. The
Peace Congress was then in session. No
compromise was effected, and the results of o
three years civil war, sacrificing hundreds Of
thousands of lives and thousands OF millions
of dollars, are warning the people of the fatai
mistake. And a0ho Is responsible? The men
who were seeking to ward off these evils, or
these who opposed every attempt at peaceful
settlement through fear of Sacrificing a great
power?" And to what does Secretary Chase,
who is always careful of expression, and new
Ell speaks without a meaning, allude when he
mentions a permanent great pO,ver. Is it not
the arbitrary powers which accompany military
control which he saw would be theirs in the
contest for ~subjugation the ADMINISTRATION
would inaugurate? In the BOOKINGS of the re-
bellion, amid the shock of doubtful arms and
the terror of the people, he thought he saw
the golden moment when the triumph of his
party could be made permanent and their
power perpetual. Should wise counsels pre-
vail and the Union be preserved by the peace
full remedies of craftsmanship, he felt that the
constitutional power his party had gained and
which he terms a little one, would be but tenn
porary, and close at the end of a brief Presi-
Dental term.
The men who really placed a value upon
the Union, among them the border State men
referred to, were so anxious for its preserva-
ton and so troubled at the dangers that were
thickening on every hand, portending a disso
LUTON, that even the undisturhed, ambitious
politician was brought to sympathy. CHASE
and his party rejected every offer of settle
ment with scorn. Can it be denied they are
responsible for all the consequences that have
followed the failure to compromise and save,
not only the Union but the life OF the marion.
its liberty, power and resources? The decla-
rations Of this letter show how insincere and
heartless and what hollow Eaockery is their
protested patrictisEl Of to-day.-Portsnsouth

for Secretary of the Ashland Insurance Com
pany next takes place. There 10 something
rotten in Denmark, and the dupes who have
given their notes for insurance better be look

enough ia the hands of the Bounty scoun-
drel, to make it e~xpedient to get some one
else in and have a straig tightening up of affairs.

pro printed it to himself, tobe calling the very

Everybody for Lincoln.

It is amusing to see the accounts of meet
ings of little Office holders and official pap
suckers, too lazy or incorporate to obtain a
living by honest labor, endorsing Lincoln
and scouting much Patriotism on street cor
ners. Their intense love for the President as
so earnestly exhibited reminds US of a little
story as Old Abe says.
A man was riding sthroughsa rough and
ruin marked country one day, when he saw
a half starved, lazy, drunken, long fingered
cuss, digging.like a dog at a hole 10 the bank,
says he:
