Our Radical neighbors are extremely
anxious that the pledge of the nation, as
they choose to term it, should be main

they have become sticklers for the re-
demption of pledges, We will call their
attention to the manner in which other
pledges have been redeemed:

A wonderfnl story.

A young lady by the name ofCaroline,
Low, Of Clinton, in this county, over two
years ago, after washing windows, was
replacing them, when she struck her hand
through the glass, running several long
pieces into her hand. After several
days physician was called ,sand, as was
supposed, the glass all extracted. But
it appears not to have been the case, as a
large quantity was left ing the hand,
which soon made Its appearance under
the skin on her arm, and was cut
out by her surgeon. 1t continued to
spread until it has extended to all parts
of her body. 1t has been extracted from
her eyes, head, arms and feet, and, in
fact, from all parts Of her body. Six
months ago it caused the lock jaw, with
which she was afflicted for about six
weeks, except that she could drink be.
tween her clenched teeth. At present
she is raying maniac more than half
the time, and in such agony as words will
not describe, and too incredible to tell.
AT intervals she is rational, and able to
sit up and do some work. Up to the
18th inst. over twelve hundred pieces
Of glass had been cut out of her fesh.-

Try IT..


We would recommend the big Radi-
Gals in this county, and as many of the
little ones as desire, to try on Negro
Equality by mixing socially with the few
darkies in this county from now until the
election.
Invite them to your tea parties; your
parties Of all kinds; make them delegates
to your Convention; and love them as
"the man and brother" Don shun them
on account of their color or smell, for re-
collect you preach that your blood is
their blood, and their blood your blood;
Happy familyl Make your doctrine good
by allowing your wiVes,and daughters to
promenade and coquette with the Negro
the same as with your white neighbor.- =
The "shade" will enjoy it, and BY SO do
ing you will have appoased your con-
science.

Previous Reports.

i New ORLEANS, June 29.- An Austrian
steam sloop- -of-war arrived at Southwest
Pass this morning and landed telegraphic
dispatches for the Austrian Government.
Her national ensign was draped in deep
mourning. This circumstance, and the
retioence of her officers, are significant.
They howeverTreport that the city Of
Mexico was captured by Liberals on the
10th inst, but the particulars Of the cap
ture had not reached Vera Cruz up to the
time of the sailing Of the Austrian steam
er.
WASHINGTON, June ga dispatch
reached this city by telegraph from New
Orleans this afternoon, stating that Max
imilian was condemned to die, and was
shot on the 18th Of June; but no particu-
lars whatever accompanied the statement.
On the reception of this telegram the
Austrian Charge d'Affairs, in the absence
of Count Wydenbruck, telegraphed by
cable to the Emperor of Austria that
Macmillan had been shot, and the Mex
lean authorities refused to deliver up his
body to those who had requested it.
New ORLEANS, June 29.-The Mexi-
can schooner Atlas arrived at the mouth
Of the Mississippi this morning, having on
board twenty -Four exiled imperialist Mex
leans, who have been peremptorily ban
ished. Among them are several military
officers. They confirm the report of the
capture Of Santa Anna at Sisal. They
add that when the Captain Of the Vir-
ginia told the Liberals they must take
Santa Anna by force, as his vesse! was not
armed, hespread the American ensign on
the gangway. The. Mexicans trod on the
flag, seized Santa Anna, thrust him into
their boat, took him to Campeachy, and
confined him as a prisoner of war.
At Campeachy the Liberals were shoot

sympathizers.

Democratic County Ticket.


The ticket put in nomination by the
Democracy on Saturday last is an excel
lent one, and one to which every Demo-
crat and opposer of Negro Suffrage, and

people, can give their undivided support.
It's composed of men Of known integ-
rity and acknowledged ability, and their
adherence to the principles of Democra-
cy, as laid down by the founders of our
Government, with no faint of the many
isms of the day attached to them, is suf-
fcientto insure them the largest majori-

A Startling Propositi0n--If the
CONSTITUTIONAL Amendment is
Rejected by the People, Negro
Suffrage to be Imposed by Com
gress.

The late Radical Convention in Its
struggle to present its principles before
the people in form that would secure
their adoption, fearful of the result and
as last desperate game, resorted to the
threat that if the people did not adopt
the Negro Suffrage Constitutional C Amend
ment, that Congress would assume to i'm
pose it in opposition to the will of the
people.
The third resolution reads:
"3d. That while we will always cherish
and defend the American system of local
and municipal self-goYernments, for local
purposes, and National Government for
national purposes; and while we are unal-
terably opposed to all attempts at cen.
tralization or consolidation of power any
where, we hold that liberty and human
rights constitute our great national boon,
which local or State organizations must
not be allowed to abridge or take away
(which local or State organizations
must not be allowed to abridge or take
away"
This is simply the measure of Charles
Sumner now pending before Congress.
The language is plain, and. cannot be
misunderstood.
Whoever can understand s'must not
and "Congress' can not fail to compre-
hend the plain meaning of the declara-
ton. People Of 0hio,what do ycu think
