Democratic Method.

The following will show what the
Democrats are doing to carry the
election this fall. These circulars
are sent out by the Central Commit
tee, to every prominent Democrat
in every township and school dis
trict
DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL Con-. RooMsl
Columbus, July 25th, 1867.
Dear Sir: We are assured that
you are very anxious for the success
of the Democratic Party this fall.
This assurance we accept as true
and address you accordingly. To
carryt he State it is necessary that
we should make converts. What
is the most effective way to make
converts? A very good way is to
sit down with your Republican
neighbor and calmly talk the condi-
ton of affairs over with him. An
other way is to get your Republican
neighbor to attend the Democratic
Mass Meeting appointed for your
County, and this you should assist
in making as large as possible. BY
making it very large, you will infuse
spirit and enthusiasm into the party
at the County seat-a thing particu-
larly, needed. There are, however,
two other agencies that, experience
and observation have convinced us,
are most etectual, and should by
all means be employed. One is to
find out, through Democrats in your
respective School districts, the
names of those Republicans who
assert that they will not vote for the
Constitutional Amendment" and
induce all to subscribe for a Demo !
cratic Newspaper until after the
election, and to raise a fund to sup
ply all who will not subscribe, but
will nevertheless, read one. To do
his will require. very little funds,
sl5 being sufficient forftty copies
rom the first week in August If
you will call to your aid a Democrat
n each School District, the work
AN at once be done efectually, and
-ou will find the result most salts
actory.
In connection with this you sho'd {
ave at least one meeting in your
'ownship before the election, to be l
ddressed by an effective speaker.
If you find it inconvenient to at :
md to these things, please pre-
all upon some other Democrat to :
o it. Respectfully yOurs, Il

Some time ago, James Panly, a
very offensive Copperhead was ap-
pointed Postmaster at Kygerville,
Gallia county, 0. The Union peo-
pie felt outraged, and refused to sell
anything to him. He went to Gin
cinnati, swore out warrant against
the people for conspiracy against
him, and the us. officers arrested
some half dozen of them. The case
has deem continued till September.
A warrent has been sworn against
Pankey for perjury, and when the
officers attempted to arrest him, he
resisted, and on the two charges, he
was finally arrested and is now in
Jail at Hilysborough
NeirS.

MEMORIES.

Ny heart is full Of memories
I This quiet summer night,
Sweet memories of "long ago"
When youth and hopes were bright,
] Oh, olden, golden schooldaysi ...
Tonight they seem to be a.a
So present and so real,
That | almost think / see
The living forms of loved ones
Seem to clasp once more their hands,
Seem to mingle, carefree, happy,
With the dear old friendly bands
How the sleigbs sped down the hillside
And the cleaning snow balls flew;
In those merry, merry winters
When the happy years were new.
But the dear old band is scattered;
And VirginiO's bloodstained shore
Holds some we loved and cherished
In those diamond days of yore.
And some of that bright, joyous band
Have sought the land of gold;
Others are 'mong the rocky peaks,
OF mountains grand and old.
Fair, gentle, sweet-voieed MARION,
The purest of us all,
Long years we laid her down
Wrapped in the shroud and pail,
oh nevermOre, while jouIneying here
Mid mingled joy and pain,
Shall we fondly meet the friendly clasp
OF those dear hands again.
But let us keep the mom'ries bright,
That cling around the past,
And trust that in the far homeland,
Veal may meet at last. .s
