They wilt Again.

The Democrat of last week attempted a reply to
our remarks concerning the enormous outlay made
last year by the Corporation OF Plymouth aud the
significant show therefor As usual, it avoids
facts and figures, and contents itself with denying
our assertions. Il seems to US that it would DO
very easy matter TO state the sum that the leaky
cstern has already COST and the fac; that the edi
tor does not chose to lay before his readers
true statement ofthe case and avail himsclfo the
advantages of successfully proving US in the wrong
|. evidence that the late Democratic Board Of
Trustees prefer darkness rather than light, be-
cause their deeds are evil"
Had we the eamc sources Of inform ,tlon as are
possessed by fuglemin Osborne, we would not long
delay the publication OF ar ineligible exhibit OF
Corporation afflrs. But this is the very thing
tina, cannot be expected OF the Democrat; even il
there were no "roitennsss In Denmark" the IN
enterprsing proprietor Of that concern would never

facts nantes. TO the public.
The sagicous editor talk as If we had let the cat
out of the bag by exposing the fact that the cstern
leaks. He says many on. has leaked before,
and that an additional coat Of cement, which he
says will cost but one hundred aud fifty dollars is
al that is required. OF course, this is mere es-
innate, to say nothing of the strong probability
that after this additional expense is incurred the
cis.ern will leak as badly as ever. At any rate,
should the anticipations of the most sanguine be
realized and the cistern become all that is hoped
for it. it viii require pipes by means of which il
can be KEEP, constantly full. This viii call for five
hundred dollars more, If affairs are managed no
better than last year. OF course. the Engine can
fill the cisten, but We do not suppose that the
young men composing the company will to
leaYe their business a halliday each week and work
themselves TO death, while the money which should
have been expended for supply pipes is the bot
tom Of some Democratic favorite's pocket.
TIE cistern has already cost a sum sufficient to
have built il and to have made il selffliug had
the work been under the supervision Of compe-
tent and an economical Board Of Trustees. 1t i.
likely to cost much more, and from present indica
tons will be sufficient to convince tax payers o.
the manifold blessing to be enjoyed under Demo
cratic rule.

the most virulent Of the Coppcrheads.
By the provisions of this bill all volunteers vii
receive So per mon tn bounty for the time they
wers in the service, deducting the bounty already
received, whether paid by the General Govern
mSnt. State. or local authority. This latte fsa
ture was an amendment. to the original bill, and a
ssron: eifjrt will DC made to strike i. on, in the
Senate il is claimed that il is not Just that the
citizens ola State or county which paid bounty
should be taxed TO pay Government bounty to
soldiers Of other States and counties which is de-
nied to their own soldiers.
The effect Of the bill in this State will be tc

Of disability, and additional bounty to all three
years men OF 'Gl and 60, who have served out

held this spring, proof that the Democracy will
gain no advantage from the attempt to ALLEVIATE
one portion Of the great Republican party from an.
other. He thinks there will be no separation be-
tween the Presid-n. and his party, and that the
differences between Congress and the President
are merely upon non essentials. The Secretary
predicts early and satisfactory settlement Of the
question of reconstruction. and continued victories
for the party Of the Union.

The Campaign Opened.

The political campaigr. in this State was opened
on the Democratic side at Button, Wells county
by L. P. Milligan, Major General of the Sons OF
Liberty, and late Of the Ohio Penitentiary. The
speech was bold and outspoken advocacy OF the
entire Democr tic creed and plainly avoved those
principles which led the Southern portion OF that
party into armed rebellion against the govern
ment and carried Northern Democrats into fu
sympathy with treason. Milligan denounces the
administration Of Abraham Lincoln as " the blood
lest reign of oppression with which the world has
been afflicted since the days Of Noah" lie pro-
fesscs 10 see the hand OF God in the assassination
of Lincoln, in the taking of OF Gov. Brongh and
in the Affections Of Gov. Morton. We have not
space even for extracts. but at early day we in
tend laying the entire speech. or c'nsideia5.e l.
tons thereof, before our readers.
Let it not be forgotten that the Plymouth Week

JEFF. Davis declared Not Guilty
Of Treason by 'Gustus' Osborne.

The profound jurist who prosides ofer the col
umns of the Drmocra, has, by virtue Of his Office
of"gustus OF the peeso" of Center Township, as
sumes jurisdiction over the case Of Jeff Davis
He constitutes his readers jury, and proceeds to
deliver his charge in which he demonstrates to the
entire satisfaction of himself and the Coppvrhead
party generally tlat the distinguished leader Of the
Southern Democracy is prosecuted saint He
denominatcs those who desire that Treason shall
be made odous, "BlOodletters." and proceeds to
prove that the people of the North in resisting the
late attempt Of the Democratic party to break up
the government because they were beaten at the
polls made themselves responsible for all the blood
that was shed in supprcssing the rebellion.
The editor processes great horror of bloodshed.

Lincoln, declaring that it should have been &C.

could cause the streets OF Plymouth to red

that his party thirsty for blood and carnage,
but that the gcntleman's personal influence spared
US from cold-blooded butchery. The marks Of
Democratic feet are not yet wholly obliterated

OF that party met at the midnight hour and drilled
and made other preparations to resist the draft, and
plotted the assassination of loyal Governors. th'
releasing of rebel prisoners, the seizure Of North

followed, will surely end in degradation and misery
How the friends Of the Democrat who are en-
gagged in the business Of making drunkards, will

will not back down from the advance il has made
