Mr.. E6itor:-Since | first come to Jackson near
Iva year ago, have had occasion to visit various
towns in the southern part of the State. our
town has an unenviabIe nOtorety have con-
versed with business men of various classes VINO
have contemplated "setting up" here; but they
are afraid of the place. They have tamiLcs.
They have questioned me closely concerning
certain kind OF lawleSsness that is reported 10 go
unrebukcd-the aohiSiy traffic.
Every true lover OF the peace and purify OF So
ciety will commend your manly and fearless de-
nunciation of this iniquity. Is it not time lor
ACTION? The pulpits OF this place have crleu
out incidentally against this business For my
own part have waited and watched for favor
able opportunity for practical effort. VIII you
permit me to report some OF the results OF my
watching?
LIST. Ihave above intimated the effect upon the
business interests of our town abrOad-l speak
from careful and personal observation. SO long
as the Order-loviug citizens Of the town OF jack
son neglect to adopt decisive measures against
these base enemies of order, peace and prosperl-
ty men will hesitate to expose their families how
ever inviting the prospect for business may be-
The condition Of the moral atmosphere OF place
is no triaing matter to the man who loves his
family.
End. have observed that some of the retail
ers of damnation here do not hesitate to sell to
children.
Sd, Young men Or boys whose characters are
just fornlng-the sons Of some of our best citi-
zens, are in the habit Of going to these hells
4th. Young men of promise, were it not for
this temptation, the sons Of good citizens, have
been known to attend church in state of baastly
ntoxication. Respect for their parents alone pre-
vented the writer from prosecuting them.
9TH. On public occasions no serious effort is
made to close the dram shops.
9Th. | have spent several hours in the court
room--have heard men convicted for crimes com
mitted in drunken brawls-haYe seen a steady
current Of men to and from the court room to the
SeethRg hels belOl0, the Broadway Of destruction
while indictments against sOul-and-body- y-destr0yers
have been fearlully scarce,
Referring to the report Of the Commissioner Of
Statistics for 1864 find the number Of indictments
in jackson county was 70. Of these were for
violating the liquor law. In all there were only
0 convictions Query: How many of those who
were indicted were in the habit Of drinking spritu
GUS liquors? During the same year the number
of indictments in Hamilton cOunty-ln which is
the city Of Clncinnatl-Was 142. Even taking in
to account the police regulations Of the city the
comparison is fearfully suggestive. Not having
the means Of information at hand | cannot say
how the city dutb0i tiles there rejoice over their eeC-
ton, could not be glad Immediately after the
election last Spring in Jackson
All honor to Rev. Ezra D. Shaw for fearlessly
embracing his opportunity to speak out as he has
done recently! Now will the orderly citizens Of
jackson speak out in mass meeting and ACT?
Respectfully to those who are worthy respect.

The opening of the week of the anniversaries of
the various religious aud benevolent societies of
America, at New York, brought simultaneous
howl against them In all the Democratic papers
otthat city. The Democratic spirit Is like the le-
glon of devils who possessed the man in scripture,
who as soon as they saw the divine master set mp
u cry aud besought to hc transferred to the swine,
or anywhere to be relieved from the tormonting
presence of goodness.
Democracy instnctively RACES at every undertN-
king whose purpose Is to benefit mankind, and
lnstnctiyely defends every oppression aud cruelty.
The massacre of an lnotfenslve people in our own
or foreign lands gives It exceeding JOYS u humane
sentiment or enterprise throws 1t into rage. In
lts vocabulary there are no terms so cOntemptuOus
rs humanity and philanthropy. Benevolence Is
to il like holy water to It's parent. It's political
philosophy Is tho rule of the primitive savage,
who clubs the weaker to submission.
Democracy's only faith In the people Il a belief
that they can be controlled through the lowest
passions and most ignorant preudices. Its faith
In total depraylty as II political power, It's only
virtue is In a consciousness of It's own degradation
as shown by It's instructive hate for everything
good. We desire TO be charitable to the Demo
cratic party The first condition of charity is to
make due allowance for innate evil propensltles;
therefore we have stated the nature Of Democ-
racy that charity may the more abound.--Cm.

RANDOM THOUGHTS-No. 20.
by THE EDITOR.

In ten days more the Union county convention
will be held in this county. Arc the people ready
for it2 IIulf dozen men in jackson have re-.
solved that they are the Union party of the county,
and they have resolved that when they take snuff
everybody must snccze-that when they pipe, all
must dance or be read out of the Union party
These gentlemen have resolved who shall be can
dldates for Office this year and next. have been
asked how these plans can be upset. Ianswer that
it can be done without any difficulty if the people
will take the matter in hand.
suggest the following plan: Let Mthe Union
voters in each township turn out on the 9Th of
July, at two o'clock 2. NJ, and go to the place of
holding elections in each township. Appoint the
number Of delegates to which each township is
entitled, from among the best citizens. Then let
these primary meetings indicate their choice for
candidates for each office. Let some one move
that all who are in favor of Wilson for Sheriff
stand up. Then count. Let all who are in favor
of Mitchell stand up. Count them. Let all who
are in favor Of Stephenson standup. Count them.
Let all who are in favor of Hubbard stand up
to vote for the man who receives the most votes
This can be done as to all the candidates for each
Of the offices. 1t can all be done in twenty min
utes If this should be done in each township,
the voice of the majority of the Union party would
rule, and no fair man, who desires the voice of
the people to control the matter, could object.
The danger Is that the people will let these
primary meetings 30 by default, and then the
clique will have delegates appointed to suit them
selves. But the gentlemen of the clique will tell
me that must keep quiet, and not expose the
shortcomings of the members of my own party,
as II tickles the copperhcads, and gives them aid
and comfort. | answer that ii does not give them
one tenth the comfort that IL would If the Union
party should be defeated at the October election.
We have enough votes to defeat them but none
to spare. II We act fairly and honorably we can
succeed; but If we use any trlckcry, VIC will be
defeated. The way to avoid defeat Is to have
lalr nomination, and then all the members of the
party will acqulescc, aud another glorious victory
awaits us.
Now urge the people, as they love the prn-
cples of the great Union party to attend to their
own business; for If they do not, they will find
gentlemen ready and anxious to attend TO it for
them If the planI have suggested is not the
best one, adopt some other; but in any event. be
sure to turn out on Friday, July 9th, aud attend
to your own business. D. NJ.

UNION STATE CONVENTION.

The Union State Convention at Co.
lumbus last week was largely attended,
and was harmonious in its action. -
Judge Hoadley of Cincinnati was tenn
porary chairman, and Hon. Peter Odlin
permanent chairman. All of the pres
ent.incmnbents were nominated. The
opening prayer was made by Rev. Gran
vile Moody, and after the business of
the convention was completed, able
speeches were made by Hon, Frederick
Hassaurek, Judge Dickson, NJ. p. Cad
dis and others. The platform is short,
to the point, radical enough for us, and
announces the true doctrine. Gen. w.
H. Powell of Ironton was on the COM
mittee on resolutions from this district,
and the resolutions were reported to the
convention by Judge Brinkerhoff The
following are the resolutions:
Resoired, That tho Union party of Ohio hav-
ng sustained the general government during four
years of successful war against the united efforts
of rebels in the South and their partisuns in the
North, now demand that peace shall be establish
ed upon such stable foundations that rebellion aud
secession will never again endanger our National
existence.
Resolred, That this Convention fully endorses
the amendments of the Constitution proposed by
Congress TO the Legislatures of the States as a
liberal, wise and patriotic adjustment and the
Union party of Ohio pledge for it their united
and hearty support.
Reslred That the nation owes the heroic men
of our army and navy a debt Of lasting gratitude
for their patriotic services in defense Of the Con-
stitution and the Union, and we urge upon Con-
gress the duty Of equalizng the bountics; and
that while we cherish with tender affection the
memories Of the fallen braves, we pledge to their
widows and orphanSlthe nations care and pro-
lection.

WORD To OWNERS OF
PROPERTY.

1t would perhaps be well for those
persons who rent their buildings for the
purpose of selling liquor in violation of
law to remember that the 10th section
of the act of May 1, 1851, makes such
property liable for the fine and costs
assessed against the person thus vio-
lating the law. This section may be
found in Swan & Critchfcld'S Statutes,
page l434.

ElD'"One day last week Il stranger intrIdcd into
the retiring room Of the United States Senate,
and sent IN card, on which was written, "Adm-
raj Semmcs' While waiting for n response,
Captain Richard Meade, of the United States Navy,
came In, aud finding Sclnmes seated very quietly
by u window, audibIy expressed his disgust for the
hllcn Confederate sailor. The latter paid no at
tentlOn to the remark, and after concluding his
business interview with Senator, left the place
without II word IN reply Htsbmg Commercial.
Admiral Semmcs, the gentleman, and Captain
Meade, the yulgarIan, happened TO meet In the
same room, with about like results exhibited On
all similar mecngs-tho characters of the two
blackgnard IL ho were to try Meade couldn't be
gentleman II he were ~ disposed. No true,
brave man can read the above account Of the con-
duct of Captain Meade without feeling an utter
contempt for hlul,
The latter part of the above extract is
from the Cincinnati Enquirer. twill be
recollected that Semmes was the COM
mander of the Confederate Rebel vessel,
the Alabama Semmcs, if We are not
mistaken, was an officer in the United
States Navy. As such he took an oath
to be true to the United States flag
lie violated this oath and became a per-
jurer. lie made war against the United
States, and became traitor. lie COM
mhnded a vessel which destroyed mil
lions of dollars worth of property,
without sailing under the flag of nation
recognized by the governments of tho
world, and thus became pirate. Aud
yet this man is lauded to the skies as
everything that is lovely, by the organ
of the Ohio Democracy, while the true
man, Meade, is abused as no gentleman,
because he was disguised with this
purjurer, traitor aud pirate, And such
is Ohio Democracy in 1866.
