COMPLIMENTARY,

We receive great mary complimentary
letters that we ought to print; but, with
occasional exceptions, we have hitherto
neglected to do it. The following is an ex-
tract from one that we have just received
from Washington county, where the Sc
nior editor of this paper resided for eighteen
years. The writer of the letter, as will be
seen, has very good opinion of The
SrATEsMAN--such an opinion as is enter
tanned by nearly all who write us letters:
%As my year Is out again, /, with great
cheerfulness, inclose you too dollars and
.ffty cents, to pay for another year. i con-
slider The OHIO STATESMAN the best politi-
cal journal that is issued in the State of
Ohio. Il admire its boldness in freely de-
claring its principles; its sound logic; its
rich miscellaneous reading; and above all,
its sound Democracy. Long may it pros
per; and may Democratic households ever
be blessed by its presence"
This is a specimen of numerous letters
that reach us every day. IA .faf

Democratic CandidateS-GeOr
Spence, Esq, Of Clarke County.

Among the names suggested by the Dem
ocratic press of Ohio, for nomination ior
the office of Lieutenant Governor, we notice
those of Hon. William Lang, OF Seneca, and
Hon. +. w. Thornhill, of CCshocton. We
would also name in this connection, George
Spence, Esq, of Clarke county, and feel as
sured that the Convention which is to meet
on the 24th of August, could not present,
for the support of the Democratic party Of
Ohio, more honorable, high toned gentle
man, one more competent to fill the posi-
tion, or one around whom the Democracy
of Southern Ohio would more earnestly
rally, than George Spence, Esq. His well
known business qualifications-his stern
unyielding integrity, would make him an
officer which the people could entrust with
implicit confidence, knowing that its duties
would be well and faithfully performed

The Ball has started, Boys.

From every quarter the stirring notes Of
the Democratic bugle are being heard again
Wayward Democrats are returning to their
first love. There is disposition on the
part of the people to make inquiries and
see where they stand. Five years of Re-
publican rule has brought much disaster
and misfortune upon them. True, the re-
bellion has been put down gloriously, but
it was, in main, the principles of the Re-
publican party that brought about the
bloody necessity. True, the Abolition
DOM" loyalty" and the advantages de-
rived by the carrying out of their ''princi-
pies" The war is over and the farmers
have time to examine their taxes. They
find they are enormous and are rapidly in
creasing. They see that wealthy class of
people, who roll in their carriages and flash
in silks, cloth, purple and fine linens;
who have their maid and man servants
about their households, with an occasional
imported ''contraband" in the barnyard,
pay little or no tax! They find that amid
the excitement of the war the Abolition
party, following the footsteps of monar-
chy, have created privileged class-THE
BoNDHoLDERs! They are our Lords and
Dukes barring the title. They draw their
support from the Government and the
''poor class" (farmers and mechanics) are
taxed to raise the money. These asser-
tions are not political dodges, but plain,
unhealthy facts. Farmers are taxed and
bonds are not. The tax on farm valued
at $4,000 is forty-tive dollars, besides a
per cent. on products, &c. The tax on
$4,000 in Bonds dsis-NOTHING! Can any
one help but see that the Republican party,
in having full sway in carrying out its
principles, has proved curse and hum
bug? And now, to cap the climax of their
power, they propose to chuck the white
race down with a race of pestilential me-
groes and call them brothers! Is it not
time for sensible men to turn away in dis
gust? Is there any wonder the Democratic
ball is beginning to roll-that the second
sober thought of the people is beginning to
be manifest ?-Fremont Messenger. .

Sublime Goodness.

The Ne,o Bedford (Mass.) Mercury, one Of
the most bitter and malignant of the radi-
3 cal press which Joined in the cry of trea-
son against all Democrats who complained
1 of abuses during the war-one of the sub
seryients that declared that the Adminis-
tration was the Government and could not
be criticised without incurring the guilt OF
disloyalty-is now preparing to go to war
with the Administration of Mr.. JOHNSON
(Which it has a perfect right to do), and de-
fends its course with the identical argu-
ment of the Democratic papers upon the
subject which it secuted year ago: Says
The Mercury:
ave desire to support the Administra-
tion; we mean, however,, at all hazards, to
support the Government-by which we
mean that which the Administration is, for
the time being, charged with the response
bility of conducting. The Administration
is but temporary-theG Government is per-
manent. The Administration is composed
of men-the Government Is made up of
principles. So long as support of the Ad-
ministration consists with support of the
Government, we are supporters of the for
mer; and paradoxical as it may seem, our
best support of the men in power may be,
when we differ from them the most radi-
cally upon some great question demanding

The Democratic Press OF Ohio.

The Democratic press of this State has
never exhibited more ability, vigor, and
efficiency, than it does at this time. The
four terrible years through which we have
just passed, tried newspaperme as they had
never been tried before; and this is especial
ly true of those of the Democratic faith.
At every post of duty, the editors of Demo-
cratic papers were found; and in every hour
of danger, their aid and encouragement
were invoked. The fiery ordeal through
which they were called to pass, prepared
them for the work they are now called upon
to accomplish. The uin that is thrown
into their columns, is indicative of the force
and energy that shall continue to charac-
terize their efforts. Our county papers
were never in better hands; and the men
who to-day conduct them, are earning an
Immortality of glory in the civil millennium
they are heralding in. They will be enti-
tied to high places in the regenerated politi-
cal era they are so soon to announce.

From The woOdsfeld Spirit Of Democracy
The OberIin Candidate.

General Cox, the negro-equality candi-
date for Governor of Ohio, is graduate OF
that sweet-scented place, Oberlin College
According to the ideas inculcated there,
making the negroes the equals OF the whites,
is letting the darkies down considerably
Bucks and wenches there compose the "fus
suckles," but white trash like Cox, as an
honorable distinction for meritorious con-
duct, were sometimes allowed to associate
with them.
Artemas Ward, the great Snowman and
philosopher, visited Oberlin once; prob
ably while Cox was there. He says that
IA CRATE many wurthy young men go there
annooally to git intelleck into 'em; but its
my unbiased 'pinion that they go It rather
too strong on Ethiopians at Oberlin. On

with a prayer and then The Neto York
Tribune is read. A colleckshun is then taken
up to buy overoats with red horn buttons

Good I!

In GAINESVILLE the other day, returned
soldier met pet negro, the joint property
of an Abolition admiration society, and
pummeled him well. The negro refused
to give mp the center of the sidewalk to the
soldier, who was walking with lady. The
soldier was arrested and fined twenty-five
dollars. He paid the fine, turned and
knocked the negro into the arms of justice
and paid another twenty-five dollars. The
Abolitionists bought a revolver for the ne
gro, after which the veteran licked him
again, and told the negro that if he did not
leave town in ten hours he would lick him
again. The darkey has gone wandering for

The Toledo Record says, 'during last week,
at the instance of District Collector, we
understand, Government detective officer
was brought to this city to examine the
books of some of our most prominent busi-
ness men for the purpose of detecting and
Furnishing violations of the Income Tax
law. In several instances it is said that he
discovered frauds upon the Government, at
once arrested the party and declared his
property confiscated, but in each case he
Immediately proposed compromise with
fine, the amount being fixed by the detec-
tive. These fines ranged from Sl4,0O0 to
$4,000, and in one instance, in addition to
a fine of $4,000, enough property is said to
have been confiscated to swell the penalty
to over 100000.

Greeley on Stanton About Shut.
ting Up the Washington Thea


ter. ....I .,.
The Neg York Tribune criticises and con-
demns with great severity the action of the
Secretary of War in closing Ford's Theater,
in Washington, wherein President LINCOLN
was assassinated, when it was about to be
reopened, a few days ago. GREELEY wants
to know under what law, and by what right,
EDWIN M.STANToN deprived JOHN 7. FORD
OF the use of his private property. He says
''it surely will not be pretended that an
imminent, overruling public danger die
tated the Secretary's high-handed course.
We have heard that he apprehended riot
in case the theater were opened-so he ar
bitrarily closed it, in pursuance of a pol
icy to which Abolitionists of other days
were long accustomed without becoming
reconcied. The police fear your property
will be injured if you use it; so--instead Of
protecting you in its use-they forbid and
prevent your using itat all Itwould take a
long and severe training to enlighten us as
to the beauties of such legal protection"
The Tribune goes on through nearly a
column, and gives STANTON most un-
merciful excoriation, for this recent high
handed act of arbitrary power.

Political Favoritisln at the Public
Expense.

An old Democratic citizen of Columbus
has called our attention to the fact, that but
comparatively few of the Democracy were
invited to the Sherman Banquet at the
Neil House, last Thursday, while nearly
every prominent Republican in the city
was present. There is no good reason
why this should have been so, in a city
so largely Democratic as Columbus
especially, as the taxpayers will be call
ed on to foot all the bills. The Recep-
tion and Banquet were given at the ex-
pense OF the city; and it would ! ave been
eminently proper to have invited, at least,
as many y-Democrats as Republcans-if not
more. This ought to have been done. If
it was proper to invite all the Republican
State officers who pay no taxes In Column
bus, it would not have been out of place to
have invited the Democratic officers of
Franklin county, who do pay taxes here !!
We agree with our friend, that it is about
time to stop such political favoritism as
was shown on this occasion-especially
when it is at the public expense that politi-
cal favorites are dined and wined.
While the proprieties of the occasion
were observed by all the speakers, with,
perhaps but single exception, there was
not one of the few Columbus Democrats
who were present called on for speech.
If there Is an accidental Republican ma
jority in the City Council, it affords no jus
tiication for such favoritism in the Demo-
cratic city of Columbus.
There was an evident effort on the partof
some of the Republican managers, to use
this SHERMAN RECEPTION in such way as
to draw expressions from the General that |
could be construed into political indorse-
ment of General Cox, the Republican nom
inee for Governor. This failed most signally.
Yet, to give it the appearance of success,
r porters for Republican papers, and Re
publican Editors, insist that General SHER-
MAN intimated he would support Cox for
Governor. He did nosuch thing; but merely
complimented him, and expressed his per-
sonal friendship for him. He was exceed
ingiy careful not to 90 beyond this. No |
word that he uttered was intended to
strengthen Radicaism.
