under the management of good Demo-
cratic landlord. which is certainly q bless
log. Another most magnificent hotel is In
course Of erection. Springfield is the
abode of some good men, among whom /
must name General J. w. Keifer, who
(aside from his politics) is gentlemen of
the first water. Our stay In Springfield
was as pleasant as it was brief. There were
three of us--a doctor, a clergyman and q
private gentleman-as jolly trio as ever
travelled. Wewere highly delighted with
the country between, this city and Urbana,
and found the latter place all aglow with
excitement over the New York nomina-
tions. The Urbana Band had Just returned
from the great Convention, and was parad-
ing the principal streets, stirring the souls
of the citizens with dulcet strains. Ur-
bana is a neat, spirited, proud looking little
town, and is, no doubt, a most desirable
place in which to have home. It is said
there is quite a stampede going on here
from the Bondholding to the Plowholding
party. But this is the order of the day
everywhere in the West, as every one who
travels, observes and listens, will see. Fare
well, a long, long farewell to shoddy rule
this fall. Reader, mark this. - !
Back to GAINESVILLE and down the lovely
Muskingum, on the .sMink - and we are in
McConnelsville, Morgan county-an old
town built among the hills. A finer river.
never floated boat than the Muskingum.
Its summer beauty is equalled only by the
famous Hudson; and, were its marginal inn
provements as imposing, it would stand
without rival on the continent On this,
however, we have neither taste, talent nor
time to expatiate. In this village, with its
sister Malta, on the opposite side, dwell
some of our first and fastest friends. Here
have long glittered Some of the purest jew
els of Democracy-the Gaylods, the Halls,
the Hannas, the Moores, the Ewings,t the Bu-
chanans. the many others, men of renown,
men OF firmness- worthy of a martyrs
crown, who have stood manfully for the
cause of the Constitution and the liberty of
their country amid an opposition as yiru-.
lent as it was long continued. At last it,
has given way. Truth, at the late election,
triumphed, and even this strong hold of the
enemy was taken and is now ruled by the
friends of the white man. There is, not
much doubt but that Morgan county will
go Democratic this fall. The people say
bonds ought and shall be taxed, and their
holders be made to receive the same cur
rency the working man does. That Ma
tional Bank notes are an expensive nui-
sance that must be removed. Why even
the ladies here are better Democrats than
the men are in some other localities, and
the Conservative, the, Democratic paper, is
quite prosperous and spreading itself like
q green bay tree.

And every where we stopped the cry was,
Is Down with the bondholding exemptions;
down with National Banks; down with |
Military Government, Negro Bureaus, a
Rump Congress, fraud and oppression in
every form; up with one currency for all
5axation on bonds, economy, the Constitu-
ton and the laws; down with Bingham,
the woman, hanger and Impeacher; up
with Seymour, Blair and the Democracy.
