The town of jackson, Auglaize county
o., at the recent election, polled 400 votes,
all for the democratic ticket. This fsa has
called for considerable criticism ms to the
character and intelligence of the citizens Of
that town, and the Auglaise Democro. gives
this account of its people:
There is not one voter In jackson who
cannot read and write. There is nota per.
son in that township, male or female, above
the age of IA, who cannot do the same !
There is not another rural township in Ohio,
or anywhere else, with the same age of set.
Element that has more industry, wealth and
general intelligence. Beside the best OF
schools, the town has fine academic insti-
tute, kept in successful operation ten months
IN the year, that accommodates 200 stu
dents. Among the church buildings, one
stands there that cost $4,000 In that
township are model farmers, manufacturers,
and an, thrifty and accomplished merchants.
". mhy should such people vote any other than
the democratic ticket"

Democratic STATE Convention.
Rocks OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE
CENTRAL Committee,

aanF CENTRAL COMMITTEE,
Springfield, Jan. Sth, 1858.
The democratic state central COMMITTEES met III
Springfield on this date, pursuant to call IIo'A
the executive committee. A full represensas.vvn
from every portion Of the state being PFesens the
political situation and national future was the
subject of earnest and careful consideration. Inc
facts which this consideration brought to the mo-
tide Of the committee vere that the entire people
of the United States are Iaboring under burden
offederal. state and local taxation such as has
never been laid upen any people before. The
financial policy OF the dominant party is such
that these burdens must inevitably increase if
the power of that party is continued. The OBJ
vious effect OF this policy is to create q monied
aristrocracy. In addition to this general system
of oppression, a large portion of the sovereign
states OF the Union are not permitted to enjoy a
republican form of government, but are crushed
into the condition of dependent colonies, by mil-
tary rule. This system of government is pursued
by the dominant party for the purpose of thrust
ing upon the country the suffrages of lately
emancipated slaves. The entire policy of the
dominant party is therefore confined to an enore
to retain the patronage of the government oy
means of negro suffrage, and the influence OF the
influential corporations of the country Ihese
facts being palpable and undispufed, tue central
committee directed their executive committee to
call convention of the democracy of the state of
Illinois, to be held at Springfield, Illinois,
Wednesday, April 18th, 1868, at IAN.
The democracy of each county are therefore
notified to send delegates to said convention for
the purpose of declaring the principles which
shall actuate the democratic party in the next
presidential canvass; for the purpose of appoint
ing delegates to the national democratic conven-
ton, nominating electors for the state of Illinois,
for the nomination of candidates for state officers,
and for tie transaction of such other business
may come before the convention.
Each county will be allowed one delegate for

enterprise, in which the people of Mercer
county are so vitality interested:
ave have another favorable report from Presi-
dent Thompson, respecting this great line of
railway, and though other promises have failed,
there. seems to Do reason for believing that this
one viii be fuI6lled. A letter from Mr.. Bird to
Secretary Sweet, Of the company, dated at Galva,
January 7th, says Mr.. Thompson autographed
under date of January Sd, from London, to Mr.
Bragiotti, in New York, saying that he had been
entirely successful in disposing of the bonds OF
the company, that the contract had been let, that
the entire business was completed and closed up,
and that he should sail for the United States on
the Sth, with the expectation of reaching New
York by the 25th. This information is direct
and to the point, and we can conceive of no mo-
tive that would induce the Judge at this time to
send us anything but the facts in the case. We
advise our friends over at 0skalOosa and Knox
vile, who are asked to go into another organize
ton on the 18th, to hold their horses little,
until the Judge can have time to make his
words good Who knows but the suspicious
commencement Of work on this great line is

1t may be expected that. we-located at
President Thompson's place of residence
should either confirm or contradict the fore
going statement. We learn that dispatch
from President Thompson, dated London,
January 4th, was received by his family
about two weeks ago, but that, on the advice
of friends, the fact was kept quiet until the
reception of this item. The dispatch was
then produced and read to- several Of our
citizens. 1t substantially conf rms the state
ment of our Iowa neighbor, in every partc-
ular. We, too, can see no motive for mis-
representing the matter do not believe that
President Thompson would wilfnlly do 50,
and know that he has been too often de.
ceived by promises to longer put faith in.
that kind Of assistance. For these reasons
We must receive the Judges dispatch as
prima tacia evidence that he has accom-.
plished all that he claims. At the same
time, We advise our people not to get excl.
ted. President Thompson may be expected
home in the course of week or ten days,
when all the particulars will be made pub

afford to wait, even though the anticipated
news be of the most cheering character

The liberties and rights of every ma

The liberties and rights of every man are
protected against violence and arbitrary de.
privation only BY the Inv as it is expounded,
administered, and upheld by that shield
against tyranny, an independent Judiciary.
The danger that lies hidden in the scheme to
strike down tie supreme court will perhaps
better appear when it is understood that it is
an attempt to say that it shall require the
votes of two-thirds of the judges to decide a
question of constitutional law one way, but
that it shall require only a fraction more
than one-third to decide the same question
the other way.

tits of course absurd to suppose that con-
gress can enlarge or restrict the authority
of the court in the matter of the validity of
ITS own acts,-that being one of the very
things which the court is empowered By the
constitution to decide. But the actual at
tempt of congress TO do this absurd thing
cannot and ought not to be dismissed from
the public mind by calling it an absurdity,
for 1t is an attempt by desperate and revo-
lutionary men to override justice and equity:
to strike down the safeguard of public liner.

The Attempt of Congress to Degrade eencal
Hancock.

Congress proposes TO degrade G0nt a.
Hancock from the rank of Major Gene-,l,
because his course in the Department OF
New Orleans does not meet the apprc5a
ton OF the majority of that body. Gencral
Hancock won his rank by such service to
his country in the battlefield as few men ".
er perform, and such as it is disgrace for
any public man in this country ever TO Or
get. The men who propose to take nus
action in regard to General Hancock are me
very men who insist most loudly on the u
ty of gratitude to the soldier; but they KEEP
their gratitude to the soldier strictly suflr-
dlnate to their party interests and party zsal
The proposed measure is utterly unworthy of
Congress, and discreditable to the paty
which brings it forward -Nep York Ties,
