If there ever was a time in the history of
this country when the slccplcSs vigilance,
enlightened reason, and prompt action Of
the men who earn their bread by the sweat
of the brow, should be brought into reuuisi-
tion for the protection and preservation of
their dearest rights, that time is now. We
have IL large and powerful class i'll this
countly--speaking through their party or
gans-who claim that, because they have
loaned their money to the Government, IN
its necessity, they should therefore be OK
cmptcd from bearing their just burdens Of
its expenses, and should forever remain IL
privileged class.
Let us look over the water, where tths
of nobility and ''privilcgcd classes" reign
supreme. Late English newspapers bring
us the appalling intelligence that there are
now in that country one million OF confirmed
paupcrs, and II half Il million more on the
outmost verge OF paupcrism. ct England
claims to be the richest country ON the face
Of the earth. The privileged classes
there roll in wealth and splendor, while this
enormous amount of pauperlsm exists
Like causes produce like effects, and to our
shame be it said, We have party in this
country advocating and defending, with all
the power of the pen and press, the sell
same measures that have brought ruin and
dcsoation ON the once happy and contcntcd
pcasantry of England. We call ON the
farmers, mechanics and laboring men to
arouse from their lethargy, and remember
that 'the price Of liberty is eternal Wig
lance.
Patrick Henry, in one Of his matchcsS
orations, referred to the ''clanking Of the
chains" that were to bind the limbs of the
patriots of his day; and with the thrilling
eloquence with which he was 50 rarely
gifted, exclaimed, "Give me liberty or Civ,
me death - Already, in the broad ligh
of the nineteenth century, in the face o
open day, the chains are being forged
not already torgcd--that are to bind tn,
labor, the sweat, and the toll of mind an,
body, of this generation, and of generations
yet to come. They are to be ground dowI
in hopeless poverty beneath the chario
wheels af a privileged class in this coun
try-a class exempted by the votes o
American Senators and Representative
from bearing their just burdens of the tax
alton necessary to sustain the credit Of th,
Government
You men of work and labor, look a
these things-rctlcct upon them--and act ac
cordingly. The farmers, mechanics anc
laboring men of the country have yet til,
power to avert impending evils, by legal anC
legitimate means But there is no time tt
be lost. If the monicd power of the coun
try once gets its heel upon your nccks, en-
trenchcd as it is behind legislative enact
ments passed by untaithful and recrean
representatives of the people, then it will b
too late. Now is the time to act-to nc
promptly and ctliciently-if you would say
yourselves and your children, and you
children children from the dircful fate o
the million and half of the paupcrs o
England. Dayton Empire.

Farewell

''ihc "Uuion League throughout the
country arc dying.
The ancient writer's hal very pretty IA
bic Of the swan, which, it was said in its ex-
piring moments would call its comrades, and
swimming down the river sing very melodi-
ousl y, thus warbling itself into the land Of
spirits. Cicero compares the excellent dis
course which Crassus made in the Roman
senate few days before his death to the
mclodious singing of the dying swan So
crates said that good men ought to initiate
swans, who pcrceivng by secret divina-
ton what advantage there is in death, die
singing with joy. Leaving out of mind all
ideas OF virtue, we may OF a truth say thus
hath died the Union League. 1t has sung
itself away Having by its principles bro
upon the country civil war; having lahorcd
diligently to prevent measures which might
have averted it; and having gloried in the
slaughter Of its countrymcn, it has bya nat
ural instinct, come to see what advantage,
there are in death and has most mclodious
ly warbled itself like the dying swan into
the land of dead geese.
Farewell Union League Never nor,
shall thy sweet music set to words lik,

Never more shall thy hero by thy influence
of the song inspired, call for ".Jim alon9

more shall the key of the Bastile turn a
thy bidding; nor the drunken mob execute
what malice and political necessity dictat
to be done.

To the Democracy.

Every Democrat who has the success Of
the Democratic party at heart, will not fail
to do his whole duty from now on until the
last vote is polled at the coming election.
We have before us for support one of the
best tickets that could have been framed
! Our principles have been enunciated by 9
convention composed of delegates elected
by the people, in which were found many
Of the best minds in the State. They are
thoroughly democratic, founded upon the
constitution. and positive in every particu-
lar; they look only to the welfare of our pco-
pie. Equyocal in no particular, plain and
outspoken they arc nevertheless not ex-
trcme, but conservative in their character
which every true lover of his country can
support. Never were the Democrats more
united or more earnest than i'll the present
campaign before them.
Up, then, democrats! and so also all who
would take medium course between the
radicals and extremes who have so long
governed our State and country. Organize
for the work. Remember you have willy
and unScrupulous foe to contend with. Sue
cess will most surely attend us, if we will
do our whole duty. To be a democrat now
is to be one not only in name, or for the
sake of office, but one who understands the

secure its triumph, because he feels con-
vnced that to carry these principles into
the administration of public affairs, would
bc for the best interests of the people.
No matter who may be the nominees, or
how their nomination may have effected
his own personal interests, he is deeply III
earnest to secure their triumph. Let Us all
pull together and we cannot be defeated.
| We are now thoroughly united, let Us re-
main so, and show to our opponents, that
it is principles and not men that the
Democracy are now contcnding for. Many
who were not fully persuaded in their owl
minds are now with us. They have time
and again contended that after the war
they would again be with us. That the!
differed with us only as to the then question
of the day and not as to fundamental doc
trines such as are now at issue Many of
them are now prepared to fulfill that pledge.
The campaign has now commenced. The
negro suffrage party are in the field with
their candidates. The Democracy have
chosen their leaders, and with close column,
aided by many conservatives and soldiers
who have hitherto voted against us and now
have joined us for the conflict, let the de
feat of our opponents be overwhelming
, Go, now and do your duty, and the result
cannot be in doubt. -NaasfeH .Shteid aHo

Contrast Between the Candi-
dates for Governor.

The press o. the party to which General
Cox belongs, very generally expressed the
opinion OF his Obcrlin letter, that it was
wild Visionary 'imprartieable," and
that he was noodle for writing it. The
Oberlin letter was an elaborate and studied
production, written with the view Of gain
ing for himself some claim as a statesman;
but his own party press have generally
written that production as wild, :yision-
airy. 'imprac,icable, and instead of Civ
Ing him any claim to statesmanship. it has
demonstrated that be- deserves to be cunsd-
cred "a noodle. Clearly, a man who i,
held i'll this estimation by the press of his
own party, l. not tit to be elected to the ex-
alted position Of Governor of Ohio, even if
he was opposed to Negro Suffrage.
On the other hand, General Morgan. the
Democratic nominee for Governor, is looked
upon by the press OF his party. all over the
country, outside of Ohio. a. not only
brave and accomplished soldier but as Il
gentleman, scholar and statesman He Is
looked upon as a man who will, in the event
Of being elected. makca Governor Of whom
the whole people of the State will have
Just cause to be proud. No one speaks OF
hm as wild, - visionary, impractical
bic, noodle This contrast between
the candidates is not only marked; it is
alike complimentary to the Democratic can
didate and to the sagacity OF the Democrat
ic party for nominating him. These fact,
taken in connection with the fact that he is
opposed to Negro Sui'ragcand Negro Equal
ity, should bc conclusive arguments with
/ the people why they should elect him with
a triumphant majority. Statesman.

Negro Voting.

The people who lend themselves to the
new Massachusetts dogma, that the negroes
of the South must have the right Of voting
as the only means Of controlling the white
people of the South, have either never
thought, or they have agreed to these re-
suits:
|. That States are no longer to have the
right to make their own laws and to rcgu-
late their own elections.
.. That the party in power at Washing
ton may force the States IN minority to
change their constitutions.
> If the negroes at the South must have
the right to vote, they must ofcourse be cl-
igible to office.
L. In three States they will have the ma
iority and will elect a majority Of blacks to
their legislatures they will thus elect six
Senators in CongrosS-morc than twenty
Members of Congress will have con
troll over the laws Of marriage-and all the
laws of person. They will also make all
the Judges Of their courts, and people from
other states will be subject to them. And
Mr. Chase has said the blacks will be the
dominant race - UrJamo Union.

The SanCtity Contra cts.

1t is amusing to sec the organs of the
privileged class, that is exempt from taxa
ton, plead with so much junction. and iervor
the inviolability Of contracts. They are the
same men who passed the legal tender law,
which was given past as well as future
application. BY it men who had contracts,
and given their bond to pay debt in gold,
were allowed to violate their agreement and
pay it in deprecated paper, worth but forty
cents a dollar in gold. As long as this
transaction is remembered. sermons against

Generals Cox and SChenCk at
Georgetown.

The following extract of a letter from
Georgetown, dated Monday, August Is,
mentions the failure Of the Republican
meeting in that place on that day, at which
Generals Cox and Schcnck were speakers:
''Cox was here to day; his meeting was
held in the Court House, which was by
no means crowded He did not impress
our people favorably. He touched negro
suffrage very gingerly. Schcnck was bitter,
and declared that he would not consent to
the restoration of the States lately in re-
bellion, until they ratified the Constitution,
al Amendment, prohibiting slavery, and SC
amend their Constitutions as to secure eQoL
ity to all men.

The funniest story Of the age is told by a
Detroit paper. A lady suspected her hus.

girl. Without informing her husband Of
her intention, she sent the girl off that night

not been thcrelong when somebody came and
took the other half Of the bed. About two

studies embrace Spelling, Reading,
Writing, Arithmetic, English, French,
Latin and Greek Grammar, Geography,
Philosophy, Physiology, Chemistry,
History, Algebra and Composition. In
all those studies large proportion Of
the scholars exhibit a very commend
able degree Of proficiency. There was
large class in Latin Grammar, or
rather three classes, which were examined
together and exhibited an acquaintance
with the principles Of the language that
we have seldom seen excelIed in the
lower classes il most Of our colleges.
One class was exercised in Caesar {
Commentaries, and two young Misses in
the Kneid. which they read With great flu
ency, and apparently with full com
prehension Of the text
The French class did themselves eaua
credit, and indeed in all the branche
gone over, the scholars manifested
highly satisfactory degree of progress

study, IN which students are not expect
