We rejoice ia this, and regard IL as the
most complete sf6torg the Republican
party ever gained. II Is the victory OF
great moral truth, the victory Of humanity.
We beat the rebels on the field Of battle,
and We shall compel them to surrender in
the combat Of ideas. This surprising revo.
lntion in the Democratic mind is, however,
accompanied by certain moral phenomena
and By one or two new ideas, which IL is
worth while to consider. The principal
part Of the arrangements seems to be made
In New York City, under the lead Of that
pure body, the Tammany society, aud the
advocacy OF that valuable paper, the New
York Herald. They are pretty we'll agreed
to surrender the Democratic party entirely,
on condition, however, that their organi-
ration shall be used, if possible, to secure
ofhces. The manner In which it is TO be
done is quite interesting as an historical
and moral phenomenon; aud to save our
readers trouble, We propose. to give an
analysis of it. In the fret place, the
Herald publishes private letter from Mr..
Chase, which announces ideas and princi-

the thing is done. The two last are what
New York City wants, and the first it cares
nothing about; but the first one is the

The Democratic papers have discovered
that Gen. Grant was once real estate
agsnt. They sneer at him on account OF
lis avocation. We believe the real estate
business is considered respectable every.
where. Gen. Grant. however. operated on
rather small scale in Illinois. He ex-
tended the business largely during subse
quent years. lie took possession Of cities
and even of whole States. This was very
distasteful to the rebels, aud TO their
Northern allies. And il is for these OPP
perations in real estate at the South that
the Democrats especially dislike him

The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1868-06-18
Shall Our Town Grow?

This is an important question to ev-
ery citizen OF Upper Sandusky. Every
property holder at least should exert
his influence to promote the growth of
our town. Our location is a splendid
one, the land around us prolific, and we
have the shipping facilities of one OF
the best railways in the country. But
a few miles west of us the road branches
in three directions, and the same is
true. east. The climate of this locality
is fully equal to that of the best parts
of Italy. Water is abundant, easily OBJ
tanned, and delicious. Beautiful build
ing lots are numerous, and on every
side of the town. In fact there is moth
ing to prevent our growth and prosper
ity, but the lack of proper energy on
the part, of our people in developing
our inexhaustable resources.
What we need is manufacturing en-
terprise. We have several establish
ments, all of which are under the con-
troll of men who have the will, skill and
enterprise, but lack the necessary
means. 1t requires money to carry on
manufacturing. We should like to see
all of fthose sons of honest toil-these
men that give vitality and reputation
to the place, receive ample assistance
from our capitalists. Without their as
sistance our manufacturing establish
ments must perpetually 1anguish.
+ Il Il
would be ascertained that those towns,
now blessed with noble manufacturing
establishments, contributed literally
toward strengthening the arm of their
that as general rule, those who lend
their money for such laudable enter
prises, were happily benefited in va
rious ways. For instance, Mr.. A. pos
sesses property to the value of $4,000
He lends $500 to Mr.. B., who is carry
ing on the manufacture of some farm
ing implements. Mr.. G. is manufacture
ing plows; Mr.. D. something else. AL
of these are assisted. They begin with
four or five hands each. In the course
of a few years their establishments have
become permanent, and each employ
twenty or thirty mechanics. Mr.. A.
and others receive their money back
with interest. Their investment was
a good one, besides comforting great
favors.
But the interest they received on their
money is not the only advantage they
derived from the investment. The in
crease of manufacturing facilities en-
hances the value of property. Hence,
AS property which, when the $500 in
vestment was made, was valued at $10,-
900, will in all probability have ad-
vanced to $4,000 or $4,000.
We throw out these thoughts with
the full knowledge and conviction that
the only way by which we can secure
the rapid growth and permanent pros
perity of our town, is by fostering all
kinds of manufacturing industry, and
thus make our town attractive to me-
chanies.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1868-06-18

A young woman, of high social DO
sition, in New Philadelphia, Ohio, died
of grief and modification on the 9Th
inst, from the discovery that she had
been seduced by a young man named
Everett, to whom she was engaged, but
who, after affecting her ruin, married
another woman, and has, since fed
CHM. Gazette, 18th inst.
In our. estimation there is no baser
villain than he who wins the conf
dence Of young lady only to accom-
plish her ruin; and there is no sadder
spectacle than-in the case of lovely
young lady, whose heart has been filled
with inexpressible remorse by mis-
placed confidence. The man changes
his place Of residence, puts on airs, and
plays the saint, while the young lady
is doomed to remain amidst her shame,
and drag out life which is perpetual
grave. God only knows how MANY
such desolate ones there are in this
broad world.
oe Young ladies should remember that
it requires long, weary years to estab-
lish good name; but the indiscretion
of a few moments, like midnight fire,
leaves nothing but blackness and sor-
row. Young ladies cannot be too care
full in the selection of their company.
Guard yonr character with the same
vigilance that the miser does his piles
of gold. ~t A,s
