~ The democrats of this congress

~ The democrats of this congress
ional district find it impossible to gel
along without Vallandigham-no one,
it seems, but this ''ten cent" martyr
can infuse life and activity into the dead
concern. He is, therefore, we notice,
announced to speak at Jackson to-day,
Thursday. He and Wade Hampton
made the ticket-Va allandigham nomi-
mated Seymour, and Wade Hampton
nominated Blair-and of course it is
only his voice that can rouse the demo
cratic masses. Pitch in, Val. Tell us
of your trial for treason, conviction
and of your trip to Canada uaa the
Southern Confederacy. That, wei
told-with swelling words and gushing
tears-would arouse enthusiasm in 6
latter day democrat if any thing car
do it.

Graua pemocratic FizzIe.

The great democratic meeting of
Monday, that had been announced in
flaming posters for week all over the
county. was a most complete failure.
The names of such big guns as Judge
OLIVER, and Hon. MILTON SAVIOR, of
Cincinnati, failed to draw ever show
of crowd. The great exertions made
to get up a huge meeting were of no
avail. We do not think that fifty
democrats, all told, came into the meet
ing from the country. The much an
nouuced speakers failed to turn up at
the appointed time, and the few present
had such poor consolation as speech
from the office-seeker, DAN. GATES, could
afford. An attempt was made to start
the machine at the Court House in the
afternoon, when the unterrified gathered
to the number of thity-three, by actual
count, including one boy, and exclud-
ing a dog. who was not counted, as he
refused to follow, when the crowd ad-
iourned to Ku Klux Headquarters

THE VICTORY IN MAINE.

The election in Maine occurred on
Monday. The result is announced
in another column. The Cincinnati
Gazette speaks of this glorious vic
tory as follows:
Maine has followed Vermont in
the great tidal wave of Republican
victories that has started in the ut
termost East on its way across the
American continent. Like the Brit
ish drum beat, the pean of Republi.
can triumph begins with the sun, anc
following the hours, it encircles the
continent with one continued strain
of patriotic airs. These are demon
strations that the heart of the Amer
ican people is sound. This is the
forward march of the great people
who saved the Republic in the war
and who have determined tn at theil
work shall not be. lost. As it is il
Vermont and Maine, so it will be al
over the continent. The same spir-
it moves the whole American peo
pie.

he is IL low, vulgar malicious calum-
niator, from the uncalled for assault
upon us, and we propose showing
him up to the public, in his true col
ors. We are told he went into the
war with little or nothing and come
out rich, showing that his loyalty
was OF the Ben Butler style. More

"You can s'more anon until

injure any one in the estimation of
those whose good opinions are worth
having. You have forfeited all re-
spect for candor by your indiscrimi-
nate abuse. But concerning particq
lars of Gen. Powell, it is probably
enough for your purpose to know,
that rebels always received rough
handling when they came athwart
his path. 1t is no wonder you did
not like him. Your rebel instinct
would lead you to hate him.-Lron.

and can be applied to any Boiler.
This Boiler operates upon purely philOsophi-
cal principles.
It is self-aeting, and dispenses entirely
with labor and the wear Of clothes.
The hot suds aud steam. by the action of
FIRE, are driven up through tubes, poured upon
the clothes. and forced through the fabric
with astonishing rspidity, cleansing it per-
feeilv without any rubbing. 1t has been
thoroughly tested, and pronounced gnequaled
as Clothes Washer by those who have used
it
All fabrics, from the finest laees to the bed
blanket, can be washed perfectly and with
ease. without the aid of the rubbing board
For Fiannels it is invaluable, as the rubbing,
rolling, and pressing process, must neeessari-
ly full them more or less, and hot water pre-
vents their shrinking.
1t is truly a labor and clothes saving in
vention Washing will no longer be hard
ship, and washing day no longer terror and
dread to housewives.
The invention can be used in any boiler,
and the low price Of the article places it with
in the reach of every family.
If the directions are strictly Jolloved, success
isiu be certain.
The saving in the wear Of clothes, will
very soon pay for the outlay.
The unparalleled success of this simple
and valuable invention has no equal in the
history Of improvements. The simplicity Of
its operations and the great amount Of hand
labor saved (say nothing of the wear of the
fabrics in washing) makes it the most valua-
BILE article in the line OF housekeeping. No
man is O good husband or father that will see
or allow his wife or daughter to wear out their
lives over a wash tub when he can make that
necessary labor as easy to his family cooking

outlay of S. Comment or recommendation

the use of this Improvements, washing day ls

have been applied where they were most
ueedsd--for the relief Of our mothers and
wives.
The ineredulity VI woman on all themes OF

r The democratic platform d

H The democratic platform de-
clares the reconstruction acts, "uncon-
stituuonal, null and void" and Gen.
Blair, in his letter which procured
him the nomination of Vice Presi-
dent, besides saying that "there is
but one way to restore the Govern
ment and the Constitution, and that
is for the President elect to declare
these acts null and void" and "com-
pei the army" to disperse these gov
ernments, likewise says that 'this is
the real and only question" of the cam
paign. Still our democrat stumpers
and editors, here at the North, con,
tinue to talk bonds, debt, taxation,
DC. This is done purely to mislead
and deceive the people-to draw
their attention from the "real and
only question:" hoping thereby to
gain power in order to overthrow
these governments, and reinstate the
rebels in power. Blair says-'it is
idle to talk of bonds, greenbacks,
gold, the public faith and the public
credit" reconstruction-the return
of rebels to power-in his view, being
the "real and only question" Don't
be deceived and mislead, therefore
by democratic talk of these false
issues, but remember that the only
real issue of the campaign is, accord
ing to the showing of their OWE
leaders, whether Union men, ol
rebels whether those who saved the
government, or those who sought
and attempted its destruction-shal
rule. Prepare, therefore, your bal
lots in view of this the "real ant
only question" 1t is the same tina
divided our people during the storm
of war, and as you then stood, 81

Visible Admixture Votes Again.

The Dispatch has evidently given
up all hopes of securing these votes
for the Democratic candidates, as its
last issue has an article informing
Judges of elections, that they can
reject these votes with impunity, as
no penalty now attaches to them for
such an act, all such penalties having
been repealed by the Democratic
Legislature of last winter. Wheth-
er such is the case we doubt, as we
have looked in vain through the laws
of last winter to find the repeal OF any
penalties heretofore imposed by our
election law. The visible admixture
bill does try to snnihilate the right OF
a voter to sue judges of election, by
hedging it in with SO many provisoes
as to virtually destroy such right.
But that. law has been decided un-
constitutional and void by our Courts,
and the very cases, in which it was
so decided, were these same cases OF
suits by voters against judges of elec-
ton, for rejecting their votes. We
rather think that if any judges OF
election, under the advice of the Dis
patch, are green enough to reject such
votes, they will soon find their mis-
take, when involved in vexatious
law suits, and made to pay heavy
damages for their course.
We make no comment on the me-
rality of advising public officers to
do wrong, because they will suffer
no punishment therefore, as morali.
ty is an article seldom INDUCED in
by Democratic papers, in fact, never
expected from them. We have an
idea, however, that not even Demo
cratic judges of election will be fools
enough to follow the advice of the
Dispatch.

Equal Taxation.

The plank in the Democratic plat
form, declaring for equal taxation,
is very plausible, in appearance.
We have already shown how it will
impose new burdens upon the labor
ing classes. Did it ever occur TO a
Democrat to reflect, that August
Belmont, the prince of bond holders,
and capitalists, together with the
wealthy bankers of New York city,
might have been instrumental in
adopting this fair seeming theory
for selfish ends of their own! Those
men, who were prominent in the
Convention, represent vast amount
of wealth, in bonds, stocks of rail-
roads, banks, &C., all Of which under
the present system, pays heavy tax
to the Government, directly or indi
rectly. These men do not like to
have their wealth heavily taxed, any
more than the laborer desires taxa
ton of his small possessions. 1t
would be great point, therefore, if
they could get themselves relieved OF
a good share of the burden, by
throwing it upon the shoulders of
the masses. We do not doubt that
such was the intention of Belmont
and company, in introducing this
plausible theory of equal taxation
into their platform. The proposal
to tax Government bonds was also
added, as apt to catch the fancy of
the masses, especially as it really
meant nothing, for those crafty ban
kers well knew that such thing as
taxing these bonds was constitution
ally impossible. Let the masses re-
fleet then, how they are being de-
ceived by artfully contrived words,
before they give their support to pol
icy, that will rob themselves to re-
lieye the wealthy bond holders of
New York.
