The Constitutional Union.

The Union of the States Is a Constitutional
linton. IL is founded on compact embodied
in the Constitution Of the United States
This compact was solemn engagement,
and Union of free and Independent States,
upon which was established Government
Of limited and defined powers for general
and national purposes. The most solemn,
the most sacred, the highest earthly obll-
cations of man with his fellow man, are
those which are made when free and inde-
pendent States and nations enter into
compacts with each other; and no obliga-
tions of this kind were ever created Of i'm
portance and sanctity equal to those which
constitute the foundation of the American
Union. The Union of the States0R the basis
l,ld the terms off the Constitution OF the
United States constitute most important
part of the great charter of our American
liberties-a part of our American system
of Government. The delegation of powers
were distributed so as to operate as checks
upon the abuse of authority. And, while
the States, lett supreme within the sphere
of their reserved powers, for purposes OF
local internal Government were check
on the abuse of authority in the Federal
Government, the latter, as General Gov
ernment, was made supreme within the
sphere of its general and national, but linz
lted, powers, ana constituted cnCck upon
the abuse of authority within the States
Accurately understood, this constitutes the
most perfect and wisely devised system OF
Government ever framed by man. The
Southern extremists and disunionists have
sought to destroy it by secession aud torce;
but they have been rebuked and put down.
Now, Northern extremists and enemies Of
our Government, having control of both
Houses in Congress, are seeking, by the
abuse of authority, to revOlutionize and
destroy our beautiful and wisely formed
Government. The President occupies a
most sublime position before the eyes of
the world in his bold and manly attempt to
preserve the charter OF American liberty
and maintain the sacred obligation aud
plighted faith which cons itute the foun-
dation of the American Union. The peo-
pie will sustain him.-Ctncinnati National
linton (ReDubhcdn).

To al No. Del. .47G

The great issue before the people Is,
whether all the powers of Government
shall be concentrated in the hands of the
General Government-the States being re-
duced to the condition of counties-and a
consolidated despotism be thereby estab-
lished; or, whether those rights of local
selt-gOvernment which our fathers enjoy
ed and which we inherited from them, and
without which there can be no real liberty,
no wise government, no public economy,
no light taxation, shall be preserved
A powerful faction, represented bya ma
jOrity in Congress, have conspired to over
throw the free and benefcent institutions
of our fathers, and to substitute therefor an
Oligarchy of privileged classes, crushing
the mass of the people and all individual
liberty, under the weight of despotic and
unrestricted General Government. To eff
feet this object, they, in plain violation of
the Constitution, exclude eleven States
from representation in Congress, and insist
upon comforting upon negroes the right
to vote-not out Of regard to the negro,
but because they expect to be able,
with their money, to control his vote, and
thereby perpetuate their party ascendency.
Let every man who is opposed to the
schemes of the conspiratOrs, who cherishes
the institutions founded by our fathers,
who appreciates the necessity and benefits
oflocal elf-government, who is opposed to
seeing the great State of Ohio shorn of her
dignity and reduced to the dependent con-
dition of county, or who is opposed to
Negro Suffrage, join with the Democracy
in rescuing our country from the grasp of
the Malignants.
BY order of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee of Ohio.

The ChOIera-DisGurbi "Made
Ground 10 be Avoided.

The Rochester Union calls to mind the fact
that the cholera made sudden lrruption
into healthy section of the city of Buffalo
in the month of July, 1852, and after rag
ing for three consecutive days disappeared
from the locality almost as suddenly as 1t
came. AS matter of course, the circum-
stance caused much wonder, and medical
men sought by investigation to reach an
explanation. A paper on the subject writ
ten by Dr. Frank Hamilton was printed by
order of the Medical Association. In this
the writer states that the section of the city
referred to was built in part upon made
land that the work on ditch for water
pipes, along the infected street, was begun
on the 24th of July, and was concluded on
the 2Sth, embracing the three days during
which the disease made its ravages. Facing
this ditch, there were twenty dwellings, all
OF them brick, chiefly new, and all very
good. Into nine of these twenty houses, the
cholera entered. On the ditch being closed,
the disease disappeared. With these facts
before him, DIR. Hamilton did not hesitate
to attribute the existence of the cholera In
that locality to the vegetable malaria 0cca-
stoned by rapid decomposition of the
made ground suddenly brought to the sur
face. He also traced cholera in oGher To-
calities Of the city to open sewers and
trenches. Referring to these facts, the
Rochester Union reminds the corporate au-
thorities that the central part of that city
is built upon made ground, and insists that
no sewer, trench, ditch or other earth eX-
cavation be allowed in Rochester between
the 1st of June and lst OF October.
That cholera does not confine itself to
to towns built upon made ground, had a
fearful illustration in the experience Of
s.,f fl,n. aY.n nf
theory Of DR.. Hamilton, however, does not
convey the idea that the disease will avoid
places built upon old formations. 1t SIM
ply holds that made ground, having the
seeds of malaria within it, should not be
disturbed and brought to the surface dur
ing the heat of summer when decompOsi-
tion is rapid and the atmosphere is slow to
neutralize poisonous influences thrown
upon it.-Pldin Dealer.

DeaIIl of Ole Bull.

The telegraph brings us the news of the
death of Ole Bull, the famous ViOlinist,
which took place on the llth inst, at Que
bee, Canada East. The deceased musician
was born at Bergen, Norway, on the 9th of
February, 1910, and was, therefore, only 56
years of age when he died. Originally des-
tined for the church by his father, a chem
ist, he was sent to the University of Chris
tina at Is. But his passion for music soon
led him to forsake his Alma Mater. IN 1929
we find him at Casse to study music with
Spohr, where his reception did not please
him, and induced him to go to Gottingen,
with view to reading law. Here, again,
his love for art caused him to abandon his
new pursuit and take once more to music.
He gave successful concert at Minden,
but was obliged to leave that place in con-
sequence of duel which resulted in NOR
tally wounding fellow artist. Several
years of his life were mex. spent in Paris,
where, leading a precariouS existence,
poor and unknown, he attempted to
drown himself in the Seine. A lady,
whose deceased son he strongly re-
sembled, assisted him and enabled him
to make his first appearance in Paris
as a violinist. From this day his success
may be dated. He peSfOrmed the usual
Italian tour, and then passed the next sew
en- years in giving concerts In the different
European countries, by which he realized
large fortune. In 1888 he married a
French woman, bought an estate in his ma
tive land, aud settled down upon it. After
five years. retirement, he visited this coun-
try, which received him very enthusiastic
cally. Returning TO Europe in 1915, he ac-
companied General Jusuf in his Algerian
campaign, improved several musical instru-
ments built theater in Bergen, and estab-
lished in Norway national school of lit
erature and art. His liberal views brought
him, however, into serious difficulties, po-
litical and pecuniary, and when his wife
died he came once more to America. His
emigration scheme, the purchase of one
hundred and twenty thousand acres of land
in Pennsylvania, and his colony, will still
be remembered for their disastrous results,
which cost him large portion of his wealth
and the loss of the remainder, by an equally
unfortunate investment in the New York
Academy of Music, completed his ruin.
Returning once more to Europe for the
purpose of retrieving his fortune, he gave
concerts on the continent until we heard of
his arrival in Quebec, where his long and
checkered career attained its close. 'a

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

The Annual State Convention of the
Democratic party OF Ohio, will be held in
Columbus, on Thursday, the Gath day

may come before it, and to put In nomina-.
ton candidates for the following Offices;
Secretary Of State; ,.-. ...r. 4rar. f,
Judge Of The Supreme Court; ,..., w..
Member Of The Board Of Pubhc Works, n +,

The state Convention,

The Democratic State Convention will
meet at Columbus on Thursday, May 24th.
The Convention is holden thus early to
enable the supporters of the Union cause to
commence the campaign. Little can be
done before nominations are made.
The Convention will doubtless give the
restoration policy of President johnson an
uncquivocal Endorsement and that will be
the prominent question OF the canvass
There being no possible way in which those
of the Republican party who approve of the
action of the President can make their in
dorsement of him manifest, other than by
voting the Democratic ticket, as thousands
did in Connecticut, we may reasonably eX-
pect great acquisitions to our ranks; acqui-
sitions so numerous as to give us the State
by very large majority at the October
election.
There being no Congressman to elect in
Connecticut, the result was but indirectly
connected with national politics; but in
Ohio we have nineteen members of Con-
gress to elect, and these will either be sup
pOrters of the Presidents Union policy, or
of Stevens and Summers disuuion policy.
There are but two parties in the country
Unionists and DisunioniSts-thOse who in
dorse the President, and those who stand by
Sumner 81 Co. The time has come when
politicians can no louger give uncertain
sounds. The game of hide-and-go-seek is
"played out" But two positions can be
found for candidates for Congress to occu-
py-one for union, peace and prosperity;
the other for the disunion dogmas of the
Radicals, which, in the event of success,
will most certainly produces more terrible
and devastating civil war than the one
through which we have just passed. q ~
Then, let the notes of preparation be now
sounded, and everything be in readiness to
commence the campaign with that spirit
and vigor which bespeak success. Let us
spend all summer fighting it out OH that
line.-HolmeS Co. Farmer. ...q

A Novel BOuqmeG 10 Lady Per-
former,
From the London Post, March al


A case was heard before the Sunderland
magistrates on Thursday, wherein Patrick
Dasey was summoned for an assault upon
Mile. Mazoni, the principal dancer at the
Lyceum Theater in that town. On Monday
evening week, Mile. Mazoni's benefit night,
during the performances OF the ballet, por-
ton of a cabbage, with heavy stalk at
tached, weighing altogether about a pound
and half, was thrown from the gallery on
the stage, distance of fifty feet, and from
a height of at least thirty feet Just at this
moment the position of the dancer was al
tered, and dropping her head as she saw the
missile approaching, Mile. Mazoni avoided
the blow, but she was in such state that
she could scarcely finish the dance. A re-
ward of f5 was offered by Mr.. Bell, the
manager, and girl came forward and gave
evidence that she saw defendant, who was
sitting beside her in the gallery, throw the
cabbagestalx. The benehinfllcted penal

THE following from a recent address by
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher makes extreme
ly distasteful reading for some of his pollti-
cal associates:
should be sorry to see any more Govern
ment agents spreading out through the
land. If the President would call home
every Treasury agent that is disgracing the
North, and the Government, and humanity,
and alternating the South, for one should
be glad. Here and there are no doubt men
that stand above bribery and suspicion Of
corruption, noble men aud true; but all
Through the South, taking them compre-
hensively, they are as lOcusts eating up the
land. They are predatory nuisances, and
degrade the North from which they come,
and the Government under which they
serve. l4.g5 s8g ss.t,.. W. ,.. .,,r

The Cleveland Leader says that the sug-
gestion of the name of General Robert E..
Lee for President in 1868 by an Alabama
paper, "displays the height of ingratitude
to a man who has done more for the South
than Lee ever did--we mean Andrew john
SON." So, the Leader can forgive Lees
heading the rebel armies easier than it can
excuse johnson tor disturbing the harmony
of the Radical councils.-PIGin Dealer.
