THE Radical organ over the way pro-
fesses indignation that the Democrats
propose to re-district Ohio 80 as to give
members of Congress in proportion to
their voting population, and suggests
that Congress defeat this design. Here
tofore each State has made the appor
tionment to suit itself and it is a sure
sign Of desperation when the Radicals
propose to take this power from them.
What right have they to complain of
gerrymandering ?" Although we
have a majority in the State yet they
have SO apportioned it rs to carry Is out
Of the "a Congressman, and large ma
jority in the Legislature. We carry
Philadelphia this year by 1000 majority
yet the Republicans have II out of IS
members to the Legislature. We warn
the Radical party that this game of dis
reimbursement is one that two can play
at,and they have no rightto complain a.
they initiated the practice.

WE give on our first page the address
of Mr.. Buckalew at the Assembly
Buildings, Philadelphia, on the 10th
ult. The daily papers speak Of it very
highly. The Press says:
"Senator Buckalew, Of Pennsylvania,
delivered, In the Assembly Buildings,
his well known address on the repre-
sentation of minorities, being plea for
cumulative voting. The question,
which at present Is engaging the leading
minds Of England, has already been
presented to this country by Mr.. Buck
alew through another channel. Indeed,
he may be distinctively known as its
American advocate. A purely philo.
sophical inquiry-a matter of statesman
ship and not Of politics--it challenge.
the attention of every thoughtful citi
ge&.
The distinguished Senator who ha,
taken the proposition under his wing
elaborates the argument in Its behal
with much force and power, and delin
Gates graphically and with nervous In
tensity the Inconvenience and hard

workings have been maturely reflected
on by the entire Democratic party dur

CONRAD SMITH Of Orangevillc was
30 unfortunate as to receive a severe
kick from horse, on Sunday morning
last. He was found in his stable entire
ly insensible, with his forehead and face
apparently crushed by the blow, but
we are glad to learn that with the ex-
ception Of the break ing of the bridge OF
his nose, and Of the bone over his left
eye, the injury is not serious. DIR. Nc

THE Republican is distressed about
the Democratic Pole Raising at the
Halfway House. Its infamous SLAM
ders on the people there congregated,
can best be resented by an increased
majority at the polls next year for our
candidates. His assertion that the
speakers were "the two lawyers of THE
COLUMBIAN" shows that Palemon de-
liberately and knowingly stated what
was false, rs Col. Freeze was not there.
His vulgar wit at tho expense of truth,
may be spicy, but its principal effect
will be to give the Democracy the re-
naming two townships in this county
which have stuck to the Radicals des-
pite the dead weight Of an obscene edi-
| tor.
