Go To Work!

the new year, we wish to say a
few plain words to our readers,
and hope each and every one of
them will take it as personal. The
prospect before youisvery gloomy.
There are not provisions enough
in the country to feed the people
until the first of May, and there
is no money with which to buy
from our Northern cousins. Last
year the merchants bought corn
and meat from the North west
and sold it to you on a credit I'M
til your crops were gathered. The
cotton crop failed to a great eX-
tent, and what little you made
did not bring you half as much
as yOu expected. You are now
without money, provisions or cred
it. Your merchant is not able to-
assist you. Your failure to pay
him for that he furnished last
year has ruined his credit in the
North. You cannot pledge your
lands to Northern capitalists for
money or provisions, because
they have no faith in the stabili-
ty of our government. You can
not raise money by selling your
stock because there is no money
to buy with. What, then, is to
! be done, in order to keep from
starving? Go to work, every
mothers sen fyou. Pull off your
coats-roll up your sleeves-take
hold OF the plOw handles, the hoe,
the spade, the rake or the axe.
Get up early, and go to work be-
fore sun up. Work steadily all
day. Work with a will. Work
without gloves on. Don't mind
sOiling your hands. Work at
anything you can find to do. If
it don't pay much, it will at least
keep you out of mischief. There
is too many dr0nes in the hive.
There is too many consumers for
the number Of producers. There
is too many young men studying
professions. There is too many
able-bodied men trying to live
without work. The lawyer, the
doctor and the merchant must
take hold OF the hoe handle. Get
up before daylight in the morning
and work in the garden until
breakfast is ready. By working
one hour every day-before and
after business hours-you can
make vegetables enough to feed
your family during the summer
months, and it will give you an
appetite to eat them when they
are brought to the table. Make
your children work in the garden
before and after school hours. 1t
will do them good. Don't make
little half-acre garden, but a
two, three or four acre garden, if
you have that much land. Manure
and work it well, and it will be
worth ten acres planted in cotton.
Our women, too, mast go to
work. We don't mean go to work
| in the field, or at the wash tub,
but you must learn to cook and
do your own sewing. When your
fathers were rich they could af-
ford to hire servants to wait on
you and to do the cooking and
house work, and mantua makers
to make your dresses, but that
time has passed. We are all poor
now, and you should not compel
your fathers and husbands to toll
day and night for money to pay
others for doing your work. You
all dress too fine for the times.
Your fathers can't afford it. The
ribbons, laces, buttons and bugles

THE Democratic Conyentiona for the
Sixteenth Congressional District, comp osed
of the counties of Belmont, Guernsey,
Harrison, Noble, and Tuscarass, was held
at Cambridge, on "Wednesday, July 90
On tie first ballot, j. NJ. Estep, Esq, Of
Cadiz, was nominated for Congress. A
spirit of harmony and enthusiasm prevail;
ed the Conyen. ion, which was addressed in
animated speeches by Messrs. Lawrence,
Estep. Patrick and Clark.
Mr.. Estep, the nominee Of the Conyen-
ton, is fine lawyer, an able and eloquent
speaker and thorough Democrat. The
Convention could not have made a better
choice, and we trust their action will be
ratified BY the election of Mr.. Estep. The
District last tall gave Judge Thurman a
majority of 2ll, and 2.756 of a majority
against the negro suffrage amendment to
the Constitution. 1t is Eow miSrepresent-
ed by john A. Bingham, one Of the mana
gers of the impeachment farce, who has
been nominated by the Radicals for re-
election. let the Democracy of the Dis.
trict, be united firm and vigillnt, and they
can send Mr.. Estep to Congress in place OF
the man who stands charged by Ben. But
Ter with being an accessory to the murder
OF an innocent woman.

ALLEGHENY CATTLE MARKET

CArTLE-The offerings of cattle at the
yards yesterday were light, but fully equal
to the limited demand. The excitement in
regard to the diseased cattle which recently
arrived at the Central yards, has consi1era-
bly, abated; but great many families are
just now afraid tn purchase beef, fearing
that it may possibly be effected 1t is a
needless alarm, as none of the diseased an
imals rave been bought up by butchers,
and cattle now arriving are subjected tn
close inspection by competent persons. 1t
is calcu'at that the sale of beef since the
cattle disease excitement manifested itself,
has fallen off more than one half. The
cattle offered yesterday were sound and
healthy looking as any that have been sold
at the yards during the year: Prime to
extra cattle for RETAIL sold at from $7,5Oa
7,65, and good butchers cattle at from
Sc. 6.50a7, 90 per 100 pound4. There was ve-
ry little inquiry for stock cattle.
SHEEP AND LAMBs-Dealers in sheep
and lambs, owning to the cattle disease ex-
-citement here, must have anticipated a
great increase in the demand for mutton,
as the offerings yesterday numbered
from three thousand to three thousand
five hundred. The result of so many
sheep having been put on sale, was
that there was hard market for any other
than strictly first class stock Prime to ex-
ira we Iuote at $5 0005, so, aud from that
price down to almost insignificant prices for
common and inferior. Lambs said at from
81, so according to quality.

INSTEAD of discussing the issues before
us in the North, and presenting to their
party the grave questions involved in the
present political struggle, the Republican
journals have little else to talk about than
the red handed rebels, yet unconquered, as
they are unforgiven, who are waiting fav-
orable moment to siezc the entire North,
and reduce its people to the same state of
>ervitude the white people of the South
suffer. Their appeals to the passions Of men,
may provoke bad blood, nothing else. The
absence of reason and argument is noticeable
to greater extent than ever before, and
will tell at the proper time. The mass Of
people are not fools, ard will not be hum
bugged by such balderdash.

Mr.. Estep and the Cadlz Cores
pOndent of The TuSearaSvas Ad
vOcate.
We notice in the Tuscarawas AdrOcate oI
August 7, 1868, an anonymous communi-
cation from CadiE, signed Cory" vel
known here as man Of no character what.
ever, undertaking to vilify Mr.. Estep':
character and standing as Democrat and
as gentlemen. Such lies could avail moth
ing here, but they are sent abroad for po.
litical effect.
lie states that Mr.. Estep deserted the
Democrats in 1862. This is false. Mr..
Estep has always been Democrat and al
ways voted the Democratic ticket, not only
in 1862, but in all other years since he has
had vote.
In 1862 the majority of the Military
Committee of Harrison County were Dem
ocrats, and at their solicitation Mr.. Estep
accepted the unpopular position of Draft
Commissioner. ''Cory" insinuates that
Mr.. Estep made money off those who put
in substitutes, by giving them passes, &C.,
at Camp Zanesvile. lie says, but if
Estep could make five dollars out of every
drafted man that put in a substitute, and
get his salary, too, that would be fat
take"
Now if Mr.. Estep performed any servi>
e's for men who put in substitutes, they
had right to pay for it, and many, at
whose request he remained at Camp, to
the neglect of his own business at home, de-
sired to recompense him, but not on dollar
did he rece,re from any drafted man or
from the Government for any time, services,
passes, or anything else at Camp Zanesvile.
This fact was well known to Cory when
he made his dirty insinuations, because Mr..
Estep made this statement sic gears ago,
and no man could be found to gainsay it.
We will say this in addition-we believe
MIR. Estep never received dollar from any
one that was not justly his due, and that
he never refused to pay dollar that was
due any other man. Cory" we think had
better say as little as possible about honesty
and character. Let him just take one looh
at home.
Mr.. Bingham and his party who defeated
Gen. Mcclellan before Richmand by reius-
ing to accept offers Of volunteers who would
have rushed to his assistance, and thus
ended tho war-and who impiously thanked
God for the defeat of this gallant General
and then got up the draft to force men into
the army, must be indeed "hard up to
resort to such petty SANDERS.

ANNA DICKINsoN.--M Anna Dick
inson, the blooming maid, who has made
herself famous as Republican oratress, as
serts, without fear of contradiction, that
Gen. Hiram Ulysses Grant is the father OF
a number of Indian brats. In view of the
late disclosures Of Miss Anna, we suggest
that All old and popular song concerning
the late John Brown. should be adopted to
TIE newly discovered state Of the Radical
candidate. 1t would commence as fol.
lows:
''Hi s. Grant had II little Indian,
Had little Indian,

One little, two little, three little Indian,
-Four little, five little, six little Indian,

SEND THEM THE PAPERS. There are
many men who cannot take the papers, and
there are thousands Of Democrats able to
take two, three, four, five and more. Let
these latter take the Sentinel and direct us
who to send them to. Nothing will do
more good in this campaign than the free
and extensive circulation Of sound Demo-
cratic newspapers That viii be worth
more than all the speecbas that oil the
stump speakers from Maine to Texas could
get off from now until the election, it they
kept at II night and day.

Our Ticket Full


The proceedings of the Congressional
Convention may be found elsewhere. Jo-
siah M. Estep, E'q., of Cadiz, is our can>
dldate. Our ticket is now comylete. The
eyes of the nation are on the 10th Com
gressonal District of Ohio. Bingham is
the PEI, of New England-he is valuable
member to the money Lords Of that section,
and they can well affold to spend thous-
anLs to secure his election, for in turn he
will, as he has done, "votc millions into
their pockets-dug out of the soil and
workshops by his own constituents. This
is close district, and every vote will be
needed to defeat tho worst representative
for the interest Of the Western people
John A. Bingham is just as true repre-
sentative Of New England as il sent to
Congress by their votes. He has no inter-
est in common with the people Of the
West, as his votes in Congress will attest.
Why then, should any man vote for him in
this District? Do they love to toll and
sweat to fill the money bags OF the New
England Bondholders? John A. Bingham
claims that to pay the Bondholder in any
thing else than gold is reputation He is
not the proper person to represent the toll
ing millions Of the West. Let him 90 to
New England for his votes. He has been
their representative--let them elect him.

office, of either party, in the State OF Ohio,
As talented lawyer and an able politician,
a finished scholar and an accomplished gem
tleman he is not altogether unknown to our
readers. Mr.. Estep has been the leading
lawyer of the Harrison Bar tor many y .ars,
and has ever preserved spotiess character
of honesty, uprightness, benevolence and
whatever else contributes to that of truly
good man. Ever the true friend of the la
boring man and the prooactr, he will, as a
true representative of the people Of this
district, work solely in their interest. All
the bondholders and manufacturers in New
England have not money enough to buy
him. We therefore appeal to the voters OF
this county to rephdate the man who has
been cheating and expressing his constitu
ents, robbing the wool growers, and labor
ing for Eastern capitalists and the negro,
and send man to Congress who is really
