The Dayton (Ohio) Ledger of the 9Th,
contains an article, doubtless inspired by
Mr. Vallandigham, sharply replying to
the recent structures Of the New York
World on that gentleman's course. We
regret to see this feud among tried and
trusted members Of the Conservative
Northern Democracy Mr.. yallandig>
ham has been, in many respects, true
man, and deserves to be thought well OF,
but let him have a care lest he transform
himself from irst-rate Copperhead
Ian honorable title, as times go)-into
an unmitigated sorehead The aspira-
tons, Just and laudable though they be,
of no man, for the Senate or the Presi-
dency, must be permitted to cucumber
the struggle of the people against the
Radical despotism. Whenever it is per-
ceiyed that men are attempting to
use the political struggle of 1868 for in
dividual ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, they will lose
caste Former eminent service, nor pres
ent attitude on any of the great issues at
stake, though ever so bold and right, will
save them. Mr.. Vallandigham is en~
dangering dearly-wOn reputation,
and there are others whose indiscreet
friends are placing them in jeopardy.
/ These personal contentious are not to be
tolerated, and the public man IN the
Democratic party Who foments Them or
suffers his admirers to attempt to force
him forward at the expense of others,
will find himself mistaken The maxim
of William Lowndes is now the rule oil
the Democratic masses THE Presi-
dency is neither to be sought for, nor de-
| cljned"

TO the growing wheat in Marry county
We have made considerable inquiry
with regard 10 the wheat crop, snd we are
convinced that the damage done by the

sggerated BY the fears Of farmers. There
is no doubt bat thst the entire crop has
been In some small degree injured, bat gen
orally the injury is, as vet, NOT serious.
And in all cases where most injury is re
ported. we have ascertaiued that the laad

little care was taken in putting ia the grain.
So unnn the whole, We see no cause for
alarm. But We do see abundant reason for
a change for the better, in the oommon
