They strike as hard as riheballs.

Who Runs the Mud-NIachine?

WHO IunS inc Muu-Nlacnlne.
THIS question is frequently asked
US by Democrats from all parts OF
the county. In answer, we will
say TO our readers: its main sup
port is from Shockey, Lantz, and
at the last session of our County
Commissioners, VIM. Clark and
Thomas Magee ordered our Audi
tor to publish a bridge notice in
that paper.
1t so happens that a political
junto here have charge of this dis
organizing press, and have taken
all the public printing in the hands
of Democratic officials from this
paper. Thus they have, without
any just cause or provocation, tried
to, and are still trying, to break
down this press, which has, at all
times, stood by the principles Of
the Democratic party, and advoca-
ted the election to Office Of these
very men who now give the sup
port that clearly and legitimately
belongs to this press, to the Mud
Machine. We never saw or heard
OF baser ingratitude in our life
Like the viper, they sting the bos-
ON that warmed them into their
present positions, and not unlike
the fate of the viper, they may yet
find the heel on their necks.
We will keep the Democracy ad-
vised Of the actions and doings of
this clique, who are attempting to
rule Or ruin the party in Vinton.
We shall support no set CT men
nominees or not-of the party,
who do not act honestly in all mat
ters connected with the Democra,
cy in Vinton. We do not, and we
are sure no honest men will, who
understand the true positions Of
our organization here, advocate the
election of men to office who are
not sound, and who thus introduce
a frebrand into the Democratic
organization, for their own individ-
ual interests. There is not, nor
can there be, any just excuse for
this conduct.
The Vinton record. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1866-1891, 1867-06-13
Tho Election LII Ohin.

With the nomination of the Rad
ical ticket on the 10Th inst, the
campaign in Ohio will have COM
menced. The issue then will have
been joined, and the work of organ
ization and preparation for the con-
test must be made. The issue can
not be evaded. 1t is upon the
amendment to the State Constitu-
ton proposed by the Radical ma
jority in the last Legislature, to
strike the word "white" out of the
Constitution of Ohio, and while
thus enfranchising the negroes, the
amendment disfranchises thou
sands Of whites, and among them a
large number ofsoldiers who fought
in the federsl army during the war.
The Democracy are opposed to
this amendment, and the Radicals
are in favor oft.
Connected with State issues are
those of National politics, such as
the military despotism bill, the
National debt-its payment, and
the subject Of taxation in all its
phases.
The aim will be tobring the know
ledge Of these subjects home to the
consideration Of every elector in the
State. We can not imple ess upon
our Democratic friends too strongly
the necessity of providing for
thorough and early canvass by the
ablest speakers in the party, and
for the general circulation of the
Democratic press. Steps should be
taken to have series of meetings
in all the counties, and clubs should
be formed to lay before the people
journals that are advocating the
success of the Democratic policy
ard ticket.
Our information from friends in
all parts Of the State, whom we see
personally, as well as from the
numerous letters we receive from
subscribers, is of the most flatter-
ing and encouraging character. All
agree that, judging from their own
localities, there has not been so
healthy a tone Of public sentiment
for years. That a strong political
reaction is going on no longer ad-
mits of a doubt, and the impression
is becoming general that, with pro-
per efforts, we shall carry the State
triumphantly. To do this, active
and energetic work is required, and
we believe that the temper and
spirit of the Democracy is such
that that work will be performed.
The times imperatiyely require
that a change should be made in
the Administration, and that an
entirely new and different policy
should be adopted, if we would
avoid general bankruptcy, public
ruin and distress.
To the Democracy, then, through
out the State, we earnestly appeal
TO commence an active exertion in
the canvass, and to press on the
Democratic column to the victory
which is within our grasp.

From the HillsbOro' Gazette.
Who is q Good Democrat?

!" hN 10 I" OOON HChiOSIuts
We very often hear men boast
ingly proclaim that they are "good
Democrats" "Jacksonian Demo
Gratis" constitutional Democrats,
&c. We have no objection to this;
for we think that every man ought
to be a Democrat and feel proud of
the high privilege that he has OF
being one. Democratic principles
are the only principles that can up
hold and sustain free Republican
form of Government--the only
principles which will enable a peo.
pie to govern themselves. Hence
our devotion to them, and our ad-
miration OF such men as may be
devoted to them; but all men who
boast of being good Democrats, are
not such, according TO our under
standing Of the term.
A good Democrat is one who ad-
heres firmly and unwaveringly to
the fundamental principles OF the
party, as taught by Jefferson, Jack
son, and other sages of this coun-
try; one who is not carried away
from his party by every new form
OF doctrine that may be put forth
by demagogues; one who stands
firm in the faith in times Of adver-
sity, when dangers threaten and
storms shake the country to its
centre. We would not give a fig
for a Democrat who is only devot-
ed to the principles while the party
is prosperous and in power, nor
rush for one who can only afford to
work for the party when there is a
prospect Of obtaining an Office as
a reward for his labor. A good
Democrat works for the benefit of
the whole party-for the country,
and not for self alone. He is not
only true to his principles, but
bold and fearless IN proclaiming
them. He does not fear or falter
when political antagonists threat
en-, nor when persecution comes
upon him; but like true soldier,
he nobly presses forward in good
cause, resolved to preserve the
rights and liberties Of the people,
or perish in the attempt.
A good Democrat is no hunter
after place or power. He is no of,
fice-seeker, and consents only to
serve, after having been made SEN
sible of the fact that his fellow
citizens desire him TO become a
candidate. He "neither seeks nor
declines" office, but quietly waits
until such time as he may be hon
ored by a call from the people TO
serve them. He works, during ev-
cry campaign, whether he may be
a candidate or not, and he encour-
ages every other Democrat to work
also.
