Toledo, to drop YOU a few lines.

from their respective localities, and

and constantly watch and labor Tor
the interests of the Republican party.
During q short scjourn in this city,
| made l. point to call OF the ven
cradle "Petroleum V. Nasby,' whom
| found in his SanctHnI SanctoTUM,-
which Overlooks the Bay-discussing
with friend the difference OF the

upon TO settle the dispute, and as
usual, the victory went to the "X
Roads, | had no idea of the mag

conducted through the various de-
partments by Mr.. "Nasby.' I was
informed that their circulstion is
over so, 900, and that it circulates in

WATCH AND WORK.
IN STATE LEGISLATU re.

I, Democracy, or rather Democratic
politicians, feeling that it is thei
last forlorn hope, are making almos
superlluman .93fts to carry the elec
ion one week from next Tuesday.
The frauds and rascaiities Of las
year will be repeated, and, ii posi-
bic, surpassed. There is but ON,
remedy left for Republicans, and
that is: Thoroughly perfect your or
ganization. go TO the polls early, and
labor by all honest and Legitimate
means to get full Republican vote
into the hallot box, and at the same
time see that no illegal votes are
cast.
BE early on the ground, and cast
your vote, and see that every Repub
lican neighbor does the same. Poll
your votes carefully, and if Ou find
any absent, see to it at oace that they
are brought out. Attend to your
voting first, and 10 business after
wards.
One vote at home, in each town.
lship, may saddle us with another
Legislature as extravagant and reck-
less as the last, and place in the GU
bernatorial char Geo. III. Pendleton,
"a man whose past record as a pol
itician is fully as bad as that of {.
L. Vallandigham. We have Re
publican majority in the State of
% 900, if 1T comes out to the polls !;
but to achieve a victory next Tues
day week, every Republican should
act as it were he
''0n whose sole arm hung victorym
Close up the ranks Let there be
no struggling! 1t is in your power,
Republicans, to give the finishing
stroke to Peace Democracy. They
were almost compelled in this can
vass to take 'new departure. If
you do your duty next Tuesday
week, that ''new departure will
come, and the men who howled them
selves hoarse for Pendleton and a
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS not another
man nor another dollar men-will
be compelled to take back seats, and
the Democratic party, if it survives
the contest, will hereafter learn to
put such men in the lead as, in the
days of Jefferson and Jackson, made
the very name of Democracy STOW
er of strength"
When that time comes, and not till
ther, will it be prudent for Republi
cans to relax their vigilance. To
the polls! TO the polish!

POLITICAL SQUIBS.

Il is stated that the Temperance.
candidate for Governor of Maine die
not receive enough votes to thor
oughiy indicate the correct spelling
of his name. Can any one tell
without consulting the documents
who is the candidate of the simon.
pure Temperance party in Ohio?
1t is estimated that over one
fourth of the Internal Revenue re-
ceipts for the fiscal year ending
june 80, 1870, will he derived from
whiskey. Is it surprising that Dem
ocrats denounce a system of taxa
ton which so numerically taxes
their favorite beverage?
The Democracy of Hamilton coun-
ty, not neing able TO elect sny of the
county officers, signify their willing
ness to make an equal division with
the Republicans. They say that it
VII bring about reform in county
matters. 1t is needless to add that
the Cincinnati Eaquirer favors this
very generous proposal.
The Democratic newspapers, not
content with besmattering Gen. Grant
with their slime, have made diligent
search for all his relstives,-of each
one of whom they have something to
say. The Republican party is re-
sponsible for the public acts of Gen.
Grant, but it does not assume any
responsibility for what Jesse r.
Grant may say The Dent family
may be included in the same cate
CORY.

GOOD ADVICE.

The New York Tribune of the 27tl
ult. gives the following good advice
to the doubtful voters of Ohio and
Pennsylvania;
We beg the doubtful voters oi
Ohio and Pennsylvania before they
decide with which party to act in the
coming elections to fad out just what
the principles of the two parties are.
If they can determine what the prin-
ciples of the Democracy are in 1869
they will be smarter than the rest OF
the world and if they vote for that
party after discovering that it has
no principles in particular, but pro
fesses two contradictory things at the
same time, being all things to all
men in a sense very different from
that of ST. Paul, they will deserve to
he the sport of dishonest factions for
the rest of their lives. All through
the rebellion the Democracy denounc-
ed as wicked and unconstitutional
the war in defense of the Union and
the Constitution, but ever since the
war they have tried to lasten them
selves to the skirts of successful sol
diers, IS they did to Gen. Rosecrans'
till he shook them off In Ohio,
their foremost statesman, Mr.. Pen
dleton, demands the Reputation of
the national debt, by paying inpaper
what we promised to pay in gold.
Here, in New York, their candidate
for the next Presidency, Gov. HOff
man, insists on strict payment in spe
Gle, and reminds his followers that
the only way to get rid of their debts
is to pay them while Tammany, at
the same moment, demands the dis
grace of Mr. Belmont, because he
favors the same policy. One section
of the New York Democrats praises
the platform OF their State Conven-
ton as a wise and well considered
document Another denounces it as
nonsense or something worse, snd
gives, notice that rs soon as the cam
paign becomes active the party will
kick their platform to pieces. So it
seems that Joining the party now will
be task of considerable delicacy,re-
quiring a quick eye and nice caleu-
Iation of distances. 1t must be some
thing like jumping off a railway
train at full speed or turning a som
ersauls on horseback it is easy
enough to make the jump, but mighty
hard to know where you will be
when you come down.

Mr.. PENDLEToN finds fault with the
Secretary OF the Treasury for buying
bonds at premium in greenbacks.
Secretary Boutwell, is buying bonds
at ninay cents on the dollar in gold.

Floyd Secretary of the Treasury,

Some of our Democratic politicians
are making a great deal of noise and
gasconade about the Fifteenth
Amendment, asserting that it will
give "John Chlnaman" the right oil
suffrage. Hon. John Sherman, in
his Marietta speech, disposes of these
small beer politicians "thusly -
ale Pendleton tells us a good deal
about cheap human labor, and in this
connection draws In the Chinese but
what is his remedy against the
Chinese Why, he would not let
him vote. Does the Chinaman care
Tor that2 Will that prevent him
coming here2 On the contrary, he
does not seek citizenship. He al
ways makes provision for the return
of his body, dead or alive, to the
Flowery Land. He has as much
contempt for a man of PendletOn's
race as Pendleton has for him. He
is regular Phsrisee, and looks down
upon other men. He can not, under
our laws, even when the Fifteenth
Amendment is adopted, be natural
lied. Our laws prohibit the natu-
raliZation of all but the white race.
The Fifteenth Amendment only re-
lates 10 citizens by birth or natural
ization. The Chinaman can only
become q citizen by birth. Now,
unless Mr.. Pendleton proposes to
prohibit John Chinaman from COM
ing here, he proposes no remedy
against his competition for labor;
and all this dragging in the China
man into Ohio politics, where no
Chinman lives, is the merest dema-
gogueism. [Applause.l My own
opinion is that in a new country like
ours, with vast, ,undeveloped resOur-
ces, needing industry, labor and
capital in every form 1t is our policy
to open wide the door of immigra

protecting the emigrant In all his

frozen North or the sunny South !;
whether his birthplace was among

was the scene of another sad tragedy at
about half past s o'clock this forenoon.
Frank Cheney, about fifteen and half
years old, the youngest of four children
OF Mr.. A 2. Cheney, the keeper of vaS
rietY store, committed suicide by shoot.
ing himself He had recently com.
menced attending the High School, but
did not like the school, and left il on
Friday last Since that time he had told
one Of bis chums that his mind was
made up, and that he should not attend
that school again. His parents did not
sympathize with him in his reluctance
to go to school, and his father informed
him that he must return this morning
and ask forgiveness of the teacher for
leaving. fIisf 9ItittYEsf,
About eight O clock one Of his sisters
who also attends the school, told him it |
was time to get ready, and he went to
his room for that purpose, as she sup.
posed. As he remained longer than an.

found the door fastened She called the |
father, who burst open the door, and /
found his son lying dead on the floor.
He had used two pistols to accomplish
his purpose, and apparently had disS
charged them both at the. same time
The bullet from one, small pistol, had

Nowhere else in all New Eng.
land will one see so high an aver
age of female beauty of figure and
hair and skin as among tho young
girls of one of the peninsular towns
on Sunday, and in no place is the
change produced by the lapse of
Years, from twenty to thirty, so
painful and obvious. For the
rounded, complete matronly beauty
of the second span Of married life,
one may look without seeing
single instance. The cause of this.
is not far off, and suggests itself at
once, to one who sees the con-
gregations of women, with here
and there an old sick man among
them, and then skips all the
years of active life down to
early childhood before he finds
the male sex again represented.
For 1t is true that in the fishing
season there are no men or boys on
shore, and if you so among the
group of bright, happy girls who do
not remember the cloud that hangs
abpve them, you will find that nine
out of ten of them look forward to a
Union with one who is now away,
and who expects to spend his life
fishing in the summer and cOasting
in the winter. Now imagine one
of them sitting in her little home
two years married, with her baby
in the cradle, and the north-easter
bowling without. She knows too
well that at that moment he may be
struggling in the breakers while
the Highland light that she can see
glares down pitilessly upon his
agony for she has only TO climb
spur of land behind her house to
seq the skeleton of aip from
witch the cruel waves tore the des.
psfate handhold months ago, and
leh the husband end Ather to sink
Insight of his own tlbme, without

10 the churchyard viii not let her
Btand between them, even for a mo
Hment, for they tell her how in a
single night sixty seven women of
one little town were left widowed
and desolate. If she will stay in
her house and shut out the sugges-
tons of peril, still she must look
out, and she sees, coming down the
street, one whose lover sailed away
years and years ago, and has since
been missing. His vessel was seen
going out by the Race, bottom up,
and when they told this poor wo-
man all they knew, she pressed her
hands to her forehead, and cast her
glance out upon the waters, over
which she has since waited for his
return. When a vessel arrives she
hurries TO the landings and nothing
. doubling for the long disappofnt-
ment, waits and watches TO the end.
How little can we wonder, then, at
the premature decay, when we re
member that to the inevitable sOr-
rows Of women's lot, in whatever
station, these others, inteBHe and
perpetual, are added.
