Union Playing Cards.

The spirit of nationality which has fired the
American heart ever since Rebellion sought the
overthrow of our countrys prosperity has been pro-
ductvc of many chungcs-many new inventions
The Union Cards have already revoutionigcd the
Card Trade, and still the word is only commenced.
So great has been the demand for these Cards that
the Company has scarcely been able to supply one
grade, without attempting the manufacture of other
qualities. By the increased facilities which have
been added through great expense they now pre-
pared to fill orders on the day received and the cor
dial cooperation Of all who love the Eagle, Shicd.,
Stars and Flag Of the Union, is respectfully invited.
OF how much more significance are our National
Emblcms than the homcly meaningless characters
used to designate the suit, in the old style Of Cards
Kings, Queens and Jacks are played out! Clubs
and Sdades no morc
Colonies remove Kings-thc Goddess of Liberty
scorns Queens and the Major is high to any Jack in
Chrstendom. In order to secure your interest in
the general circulation of the Union Cards the FOL
lowing prices have been established, at which you
will be supplied:

How The Mighty have Fallen.

Six years ago one Of the leading men in
the United States Senate was James Green,
OF Missouri Every observer Of passing
events in the political history of the coun-
try will remember his signal triumph, in a
bad cause, during the debate on the lie,
compton question, lie was the only man
who by common consent, got the upper
hand Of Douglas in that memorable discus
sion, and but for him the Southcrncrs would
have made poor showing just then, There
seemed to be bright future for him, but
like too many others similarity situated, he
thought no man could rise in the world of
politics without passing good deal of time
in the bar rooms of Washington. Today
as | was walking down Pennsylvania
avenue, ! passed wrctched looking man.
stupidity drunk, his face horribly disfgurcd
as if he had just emerged from a street fight
both his eyes blackcncd and swollen, his
clothing covered with mud and dirt the
cynoSurc Of all eyes, and the laughing stock
Of shoe blacks ! asked who it was, and
was told it was Jim Green, of Missouri

Make Your Nominations

We observe that q convention Of the
Republican party is to be held in this city
next Tuesday for the purpose of nomi'
mating candidates to represent Ohio
county in the State Legislature. The
announcement suggests the fact that
the Democratic. Convention should also
be held soon. Of course it is not the in
tention of the Conservative men of Ohio
county to permit the election of the radi-
cal Republican candidates, if it can be
prevented by casting a majority of the
legal votes for very different set of
men, and hence it is expedient that some
means be adopted soon for the nOmina-
ton of candidates who will represent
the views and interests of the DemOcra-
cy. The election will take place OH the
Goth of October and we cannot, in justice
to the interests of the Democratic party
and of the gentlemen who may be NOM
mated, postpone the nominations beyond
the 18th or 18th of this month. We be-
lieve that conservative doctrines are
gaining strength every day and that the
Republican party is sinking lower and
lower every day in the popular esti-
nation as it's frauds are being uncovered
and its revolutionary schemes developed.
But there is in this no sufficient reason
why our nominations should be postpon-
ed. If the convention were held to day
it could just as wisely select the men
who can bear the Democratic standard
on to victory in the October election as it
could were the nomination postponed for
another month.
There is really very little time to be
lost in this matter; the campaign will
necessarily be short and other counties
throughout the State are waiting to see
what we do here We trust that onr
friends in the country as we'll as III the
city will think about the nominations,
talk with their neighbors abont them
and take some steps for the assembling #
convention at an early day 1t is dc
sirable that every ward i'll the city and
every township in the county may have
q voice in the selection of candidates and
it is necessary that the selections be-
made soon.
