For people viii talk.
RY-The New York papers speak well

Eg-The New York papers speak well
of the nomination of Rosecrans. The
Tribune evidently feels little sore at
the wisdom Of the Convention in making
such a choice 1t says:
''The nomination of Gen. Rosecrans
for the Governorship of Ohio by the
Democrats is, we fear, rather a measure
of their necessities than an indication of
their preference. Gen. Rosecrans is a
soldier for whose serviccs-in spite of
some misfortuncs which, we think, ,mig ght
have been averted-we have nothing in
our heart but gratitude; and he is poll
tician concerning whose honest accept
ance of the essential results of the war
no man can entertain doubt" t".
The Herald says:
The Democratic State Convention of
Ohio organized in Columbus yesterday,
and proceeded to the nomination of State
officers and Judge of the Supreme Court
with considerable unanimity. Gen. w.
S. Rosecrans, lately Minister to Mexico,
was nominated for Governor. His oppo-
nent on the Republican side, the present
incumbent, Rutherford B. Hayes, was
elected in 1867 by a majority counting
iup nearly three thousand. The Demo
cratic ticket is very strong one, head
| ed, as it is, by the name of Gen. Rose.

liant ....

"Charge Along the Linev'

The Republicans have sounded the
keynote on their side for this campaign
We'll aware of the fact that on the great
issues the people are against them, they
are seeking to make the contest 90 off in
personal "reminiscences and personal re-
elimination. But they will not be permit
ted to do this. The Democracy propose
to be ON the offensive, and not the dcfen-
sive. Their platform, we are happy to
say, is bold and outspoken in its arragn-
ment OF the shortcomings, fallacies and
crimes ofthe Radical organization. When
the Radical papers shall have answered
it will be time enough to listen to their
counter charges The questions now be-
fore the people of Ohio are these:
Shall negro suffrage be made univcr-
sal throughout the United States and
the people of the States be deprived OF
every power to say who shall be voters
within their limits?
Shall the bonds be paid in gold, for
which we only agreed to give green
backs, and shall they be made, in the
mean time, subject to taxation, like
other property?
Shall we ofthe West continue always to
be oppressed by tariff which was solely
created for the interests of the New Eng
land manufacturers and Eastern bond
holders? 1t is upon these questions
mainly, and upon the conceded eXtraVa
gance and corruption of the Republican
Federal Administration, that the battle
is to be fought and the victory WON

Thank God! The laboring men of the
United States are organizing themselves
into the greatest political party ever
known. Already 100000 farmers labor
ers, mechanics, worbingmen, are enroll
ed and organized in different portions of
the country for the protection of labor
against the cruel robberies of over pro-
tected capital. And every day this or
ganizetion is increasing The time is
not distant when the men who toll will
have their rights, withheld from them SO
long.
The poor are weary disappearing the
rich. The men and women who toll arc
tired of working beyond their strength
for the support of the bondholders and
protecting capitalists, who boast their alb
ility to control legislation, and cnlave
all who toll by aid of money and dis
honest, corrupt, profiigate lawmakers
Let the good work 60 on. Extend, i'll
crease, and perfect the organization cv
erywhere. Down with the aristocracy
that robs those who labor, and aaunts its
sickening style in the face of its suppor
ters.-N. Y. Democrat.

TRUE COURAGE.

We love the man whose honest heart
VIII bravoly dare and bravely do;
Who will not act the towards part,
sBut strong in right, will right pursue
Whose knee ne'er bended at the nod
OF titled pomp nor regal power,
But bowed alone before his God,
With hope his crown and love his dover.
Who dares to face world of scorn
And darc's brothers hand to span,
Though rough the skin and rough the form,
Ii yet that brother be a man!
Who strikes where'er wrong is found,
And brands tyrant to his face
Nor courts applause, an empty sound,
But firmly treads an honest race.
Such are the men who stemmed the tide:
And Glove the way through giant wrong;
Their names immortal neer shall die,
But ring in everlasting song.

Eg-The tender sensibilities of the
Republican press are frightfully disturb
cd at the highly immoral and indecent
manner in which A. j. has been pitching
into U. G.. They urge that when an ex-
President calls his successor ''lying and
treachcrous," it is both shocking and
disgraceful. To our conception the real
disgrace lies far back of this. 1t is in
the fact that there should be too much
truth in the rather strong language used
by johnson, and not in the fact OF his
using it. Our Republican editors had
better overhaul the history of the John
son-Stanton controversy, and endeavor
to improve themselves in the science OF
moral casuistry. Eng.

REMEDY FOR THE Piles "A well
known clergyman writes to the Maine
Farmer that, after trying every ''sure
remedy" recommended for this disease
with no good results, and expecting that
nothing but the grave would cure him, he
was induced to take one teaspoonful of
sulphur, mixed with one third cupful OF
new milk, This" he says, "was months
ago, and from two to six applications,
one every other day, have done me more
good than all the other remedies com
bined, if, indeed, am not entirely cured
Of that terrible inlirmitY. -l.

s@~ According to all accounts, the last
Legislature of Pennsylvania, which was
largely Radical, was, next to the black
and-tan Legislature of Tennessee, the
most corrupt anG reckless that has ever
assembled at State capitol. 1t appears
however that the Radicals are reconstruct
ing tho members ofthat body, in many
instances voting down resolutions for
reform, and that, too, against the pro
test ofmany of the journals Of the party.
This has been carried so far that the bet
ter portion ofthe Republicans are calling
for the formation OF an independent re-
form party. The members Of the Legis
latnre, however, declare that, if the Pres

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

We may go through the world, but twill be
very slow,
If we listen to all that is said as we go;
Wen be worried, and fretted, and kent in a
stew,
For meddlesome tongues must have something
to do
For people will talk
If quiet and modest, twill then be presumed,
That your humble position is only assumed;
You're wolf in Sleeps clothing or else your
fool.
But don't get excited, keep perfectly COOL
For people will talk
If generous and noble, they'll vent out their
spleen,
You'll hear some loud hints that you're selfish
and mean,
If upright and honest, and fair as the day,
They'll call you rogue, in a sly, sneaIinS way,
For people will talk
Then if you show the least boldness of heart,
Or slight inclination to take your own part,
They'll call you an upstart, conceited; and vain,
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explain,
..- For people will talk.
If threadbare your coat, or old-fashioned your
dress,
Some one, of course, will take notice of this,
And hint rather close that you can't pay your
way,
But don't get excited, whatever they say,
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion, don't think TO es-
cape,
For they criticise then in q far different shape
You're ahead of your means, or your bills are
unpaid,
But mind your own business, then keep straight
ahead,
For people VIII talk.
They'll talk fine before you, but then at your
back
OF venom and spite there is never a lack;
How kind and polite in all that they say,
But bitter as gall when you are out of the way
For people will talk.
Good friend, take my advice and do as you
please,
For your mind, if you have one, will then be Al
ease, -...
Through life you will meet with all sorts o
abuse,
But don't think to stop them, twill be of no use
For people will talk.
