A LITTLE RoUGu.-1t is understood
that the printing expenses Of political
campaign, the printing Of bills, tickets,
notices, &C., are to be paid for by the can
didates.
In the campaigns of 1862 and 1865 we
did very great amount of printing, enough
to keep one hand constantly employed for
three months each year. In addition to the
labor, we used large amount OF paper,
ink, etc. When Mr. CRTCHFIELD was a
candidate for Attorney General he paid us
$50, which was very liberal, considering the
salary of the Office, and much more than
we asked from him. But aside from what
he paid we have received but Sc for both
campaigns. =, j.,
The candidates will not deny that we did
all that was necessary to be done, nor can
they complain of the zeal with which we
labored for their success. When everything
used in printing Office is so high it re-
ouires close financiering to meet expenses,
therefore wehope those whowere candidates
and have not paid the printer will do SO at
their earliest convenience.

JUSTICE DEMANDED. No bounty, no

wounded and disabled have b this day been

Many of them are short of spending money
and in great need of relief We demand
justice for them and we are determined they

back the rebel legions.
Among those specially worthy of the pro.
tecting care of the Government are Capt

means of support except few thousanC

LET GrunlbiinS CeaSe.

The Ohio Statesman contains the follow
ing sensible article, which is applicable to
as well as newspapers:
eve regret to notice that Il few leading
papers which have long been looked to as
able exponents of the principles of Democ-
racy, are in very neat little dispute about
the proper position the Democratic party
should occupy with reference to our present
national disorders. One declares that the
Democratic party should take a position fa-
voring immediate peace, and accept the po-
litical conditions which peace, at this time,
would necessitate that is recognition OF
the Southern Confederacy, with the idea of
reconstructing the Government by negota-
ton and compromise that continuance
of the war makes disunion inevitable and
cternal-and will end in the founding of
two bankrupt despotisms and the perpetual
enslavement of our race. Another, quite
as dogmatically declares that no one in the
North, except those allied by personal
interest with the success Of the rebellion
desires peace either immediate or prospect.
i've, on other terms than the submission
of the South to the "powers that be; that
the rebels having refused the arbtramcnt o.
the ballot and selected the sword, must have
the sword pushed upon them until the.
yN1u ODculcuCt W tjiut SOusllIutlOu ulIt
national authority which they have insultet
and violated and sought to destroy; tha
tpeoce without submission of the rebels, ne
cessitates dissolution, and dissolution, come
when it may, nccessitates national ruin
bankruptcy and anarchy,
Now, to us it seems plain that both o
these parties are sincerely laboring to &C
complish common end, viz: the restora
ton of the Union on the principles of th
Constitution of 1889 one believing tina
this most desirable object can alone be bro
about by war; while the other, equally pa
triotic, sincerely believes that war is onl
continually making reunion more and NOR
impossible; while both readily agree that re
union upon either plan cannot be etfecte
J until more patriotic Administration
placed in power than the imbecile and col
rrupt one now ruling. Under these circun
stances, cannot our grumbling friends col
sent to an armistice among themselves unit
7 after the next election, and earnestly devot
! their energies to accomplish the first indi
pensable object, viz: the gaining of powe
only through which peace and reunion ca
be brought aboutY'
