PRooF READSe.--All printers and editors, says the St. Louis Dispatch, will appreciate the following remarks on this subject. If the readers of newspapers understood one-half of the difficulties in procuring accuracy, iil- stead of wondering and scolding at mistakes, they would be surprised that there are not many more. How few reauers appreciate the services of q proof-reader! He is one of the most important agents in the production of correct literature, and one of whom no reader seems to think. His Is the most thankless all the employments among men. Let him bring out pa per without faults for weeks and weeks in succession and nobody thinks of him. But let him allow an error to 20 uncorrccted and immediately he is known only to be censured. He has no thanks for his laborious patience, but blame if he is not faultless. He is certain ofone oftwo things-forgctful- ness or ccnstre.
 In general, human life is much after this fashion. A man goes on through years of blameless living and no one notices or thanks him; but an error, mistake, a slip will attract to him the attention of ccnsure.r None but God knows what struggles, what careful ness, with watchfulness, have been nec-: essary to secure the propriety which has marked his course for years; nor what circumstances of trial created the. weakness which caused him to let go his hold for a moment. "God is not. unmindful,' is the blessed assurance of the Holy Scripture. Let us take the proof of last year and correct for the edition of the next. Let us be-pitiful, and forbearing towards the faults of others.

A BAsHFUL LovER.--Cousin Kate was q sweet, widc-a-wakc beauty of ibout seventeen, and she took il into her head to go down to Long Island to see some relations of hers who had the misfortune to live there. Among these relations there chanced to be young swain who had seen Kate on prcvi- ous accession, and seeing, fell deeply in ovc with her. He called at the house on the evening of Ter arrival, and she met him on the piazza, where she was enjoying the air in company with two or three of her friends. The pocr fellow was so bashful that he could not find his tongue for some time. At length he stammered out:
 flows your mother?"
 "Quite well, thank you
 Another silence ou the part of Josh during which Kate and her friends did the best they could to relieve the mo- notony. After waiting about fifteen minutes for him to commence to make himself agreeable, he again broke the silence by
 "How's your father?" which was answered. much after the same fashion IS the last one, and then followed mother silence like the other.
 "How's your father and mother?" again put in the bashful lover.
 Quite well, both of them" This was followed by an exchange of glances md suppressed smile.
 This lasted some ten minutes more, turing which Josh was fidgeting in his seat and stroking his Sunday hat. But at length another question came
 "How's your parents? ?'
 This produced an explosion that made the woods ring.

Judge Thurman.

In the State Democratic Conven-
ton, Jan. 23d, 1861, Judge Thur
man wrote and reported the follow
ing resolution;
"That the 100000 Democrats Of
Ohio send to the people Of the Unit
ed States, both North and South
greeting; and when the people Of
the North shall have fulfilled their
duties to the Constitution and the
South, then, and not till then, will
it be proper for them to take into
consideration the right and propri.
ETY. Of coercion
This resolution was adopted unan-
imously,-Judge Thurman support
ing it in a speech from which the
following is a "specimen brick
"a man is defcientin understand
ing, who thinks the cause of disun-
ion is that the South apprehended
any overt act of oppression in Lin
coins administration, 1t is the
spirit of the late Presidential con
test that alarms the South. \
1t would try the ethics Of any man
to deny that some of the Southern
States have no cause for rebellion.
Then you must be sure
you are able to coerce before you
begin the work. The South are a
brave people. The Southern States
cannot be held by force, The
blacks won't fight for the invaders.
~ The Hungarians had less
cause of complaint against Austria,
than the South had against the
North"
Judge Thurman has never denied
or explained away the sentiments
then uttered. He has never disa-
vowed his belief in the right of Sc
cession. He believed the South
was right and the North was wrong
in the contest that followed, and
busted himself during that contest
in feeding, feasting and lionizing
the rebel prisoners at Camp Chase,
and making speeches denouncing
the war. lie stumped the State Of
Ohio in 1858 for Vallandigham,
while Val. waited and watched over

and admiring Democrats. These
Democrats now seek to elect Thur

receive the vote Of sundry and vari-
Gus deserters and Canada skedad-
lers and the vote of every Confed-

The Republican Union party Of Ohio,

lst. That one Of the great lessons Of the
war is that the American people are na-
ton and not merely coniederacy Of SOW
ereign and Independent States,
ID. That our existence as nation is bas-
ed on the great principles announced IN
the Declaration OF Independence, and vim
dicated by the proclamation OF emanclpa-
tiOn, the constitutional amendment abol'
ishing slavery, aud the spirit Of republican
democracy and justice, which underlies3
she reconstruction policy Of the S9th and
10Th Congresses, which we hereby fully
indorse, and which we demand shall be
carried into complete effect by every need

Sd. That while we will always cherish
and defend the American system Of loce,
and municipal selfgoyernments for local
purposes. and a national government ior
national purposes, and while we are unal-
terably opposed to all attempts at central
ization or consolidation ofpower anywhere,
we hold that liberty and human rigntS
constitute our great national boom whleh
local or State organizations must not oe
allowed to abrdge or ia Ike away. =.
4th. That imbued with the spirit oil true
Democracy, and believing that the powers
necessary for the purpose of attaining the
ends of government, ought not to DC re,
stricted to privileged class, but should
be vested in the whole people, without un'
lust or odious distinctions, organizations
not equally attaInable by all; and further
believing that these sentimentsare ii
strict accordance with the spirit aud tend
enov of modern civilization, we pl0ee our
selves on the simple and broad platform Of
impartial manhood suffrage as embodied
in the proposed amendment to the State
Constitution, appealing to and contiding
in, the intelligence justice and patriotism
Of the people of Ohio, to approve it at the
ballot box. i
9TH. The American people owe debt OF
lasting gratitude to the brave soldiers and
sailors who in the late struggle for our ma
tional existence, so nobly fought for our
liberties and for the privqtions, sufferings
and sacrifices which they endured. The
