Talk 10 a Democrat-prove to him
that his party is wastetul and corrupt
-upholds and defends frauds upon the
ballot-box-and acts upon the theory
that all things are honest in politics
and because he cannot disprove the
charges, he will turn and tell you that
one party is as bad as another. Such a
belief and answer may satisfy Demo-
cratic conscience, but it is untrue nev.
ertheless. iii were true there would
be no Union to-day, One sought its
destruction-the other saved it. As
you value the Union, so must be your
Judgment in regard to parties. If the
Union was worth preserving, then the
party that saved, it, and not the one
that conspired for its destruction, is
the one that should receive the COM
mendation and support of the patriotic
and just. One or the other was in the
wrong, and hence bad. Which was it?

When the Democrats of Ohio as
tonished themselves and the country
by the nomination of Gen Rosecrans
as their candidate for Governor, we
spoke of it as a measure Of their ne
cessities They have now filled the
vacancy caused by Gen. Rosecrans
refusal to serve by the nomination of
Mr.. George H. Pendleton. This seems
to us not so much a measure Of their
necessity as of their desperation. II is
a confession of the gravest possible
danger; an ordering up Of the last re-
serves, and a change of frontin the face
of the enemy. How the same party
which was ready to support Gen Rose
Grams as a candidate is now to be
brought about-face to the support Of a
peace man so ultra as Mr.. PendletOn is
one of those curiosities of Democracy
which age cannot wither, and whose
infinite variety custom cannot safe
Mr.. PendletOn's acceptance indicates
that the Democracy have determined
upon hard work. We believe our Re-
publican friends in Ohio are in no dan
ger, but it will not hurt them any to
act as if they were. If the Democrats
can carry Ohio with any candidate they
can carry it with George II. Pendleton.
They have put up their most popular
mamie would not have consented to
run unless, both in his Judgment and in
that of the devoted friends who have
given hIm this nomination, the interests
of the party required him to accept, and
they believed that they could elect him.
There has been a good deal of disaf-
fiction, not to say Generalization,
among the Ohio Democrats, 1t will
not do to count any longer on that.
The nomination Of Pendleton shows
their alarm; but it also shows that they
mean business ~ Y. Tribune.

dicIOn.
Some men are born to ill-fortune,
some achieve it, and some have il
thrust upon them II is rarely that we
find one individual in his own proper
person occupying two OF these classes
at once. That is the position of Mr..
Pendleton precisely. After resisting
the nomination attempted to be thrust
upon him by his enemies in the Con-
yention, be finds himself now forced
through very despair to take the nom
ination as the only hope Of his political
salvation. With no hope Of an cleo
ton at the time Of the State Convention
his declination was an act Of simple
self-preseryation; with a hundred times
less chance of election now, he finds
himself forced to take the nomination
to preserve the party from disintegra-
ton, and risk the chances Of recognition
by the National Convention for bis
martyrdom here. For wh at chance
would an Ohio man have in the next
National Convention with no party at
his back?
The outlook for the Democratic
leaders is gloomy enough The nomi-
nation of ROsecrans was a bitter dose,
and his decination has left the party
totally demoralized The nomination
nearly split the party-the rejection Of
the proEered honor has stampeded it.

The Democratic press, which has grown

The Uord is aware that we seizs
every opportunity to concur in its views
when we conscientiously can; and we
find such a chance presented in the as
sertion in its last that the passage of
the Legal Tender act prolonged the
war" for the Union. 1t did that, most
emphatically. But for the passage of
that act, McClellan's and Buelrs abor-
tive campaigns in '62 would have left
the Government without means to
prolong the struggle; so it would have
ended in the exhaustation of our re-
sources, the defeat of our arms, the
establishment of the Confederacy, and
the consequent restoration to power in
the North of the sympathizing and
affiliated COpperhead Democracy. And
that is why the whole crew so detest
and excreate the Legal tender act. -

We have long felt that, if the pro-
duction Of Iron in this country could be
assured twenty years Of stable pros
perity, our people would devise and
perfect such improvements and econo-
mics in the processes subsidiary thereto
as to insure better ard cheaper Iron
thereafter, not merely in the United
States but throughout the world. And
facts are transpiring which justify our
conviction.
We have been shown various speci-
mems Of Iron and Steel made by a new
process discovered by Dr. VIM. Field
of Wilmington, Delaware. That they
are all of extraordinary excellence, no
one at all familiar with Iron can doubt
after seeing them, and from the Steel
have been manufactured Files, Razors,
&c, Of the finest quality This Iron is
made from very common Pig by the
addition Of certain chemicals in the
process of pudding, whereby all Sui
phur and Phosphorus is eliminated and
banished at a cost Of 10 to so cents per
tun of Iron. DR.. Field says that be
can thus make a superior Iron of any
Pig, and at trifing expense. That
shown us was exhibited side by side
with the famous Lowmoor (British)
Iron, sold here at 2l cents per pound,
and is fully its equal +; andit challenges
comparison with the best Norwegian or
Swedish Iron. Dr. f. claims a like
superiority for his Pig Iron, and that
his Castings are five times as strong as
those made by the old process. He
asserts that Iron subjected to his pro-
cess does not stick to the bottom of
the furnace, is more uniform in quality,
exceedingly tough and tenacious, and
can be run out Of any existing furnace
with saving Of some 25 pounds per
day now wasted in running out,
We desire to say only so much of
this invention as will suffice to call the
attention of Iron-masters thereto. No
one will look through another's eyes
with regard to a matter of such impor-
tance but, if this invention be all that
is claimed for it, it is worth more to
our country than Alaska, with several
of the West Indies thrown in. We
urge Iron-makers to examine it, while
the specimens remain in the hands Of
Dr. Field agent, Mr.. Fl. G. Hall, No.
60 Vesey-st., City, where he may be
seen from l0A.M. to Am.
The above appeared as editorial a
short time ago in the N. Y. Tribune.
We wish to call the attention Of the
manufacturers of iron in Jackson
county to this discovery. fit is what
it is claimed to be, and could be intro
duced here, it would be a valuable
thing.

A BRAVE WOMAN "A man named
Hilliard, while engaged in digging a
well on the turnpike, three miles above
the city, last week, became affected by
clamps" in the well, and dropped down
insensible. No one was present but a
Welsh woman, and she no sooner COM
pretended the state of affairs than she
saturated handkerchief with camphor,
went down the well, and spread it over
his face. She then tied a rope around
him and assembled, and drew him out.
He was insensible for three hours but
finally recovered. 1t was an act of he
roism in the woman, and saved the
mans life We regret that we cannot
give her name. Portsmouth Tribune.

1t is not strange that the Ohio De-
mocracy, having nominated in sheer
desperation the dubious Pendleton,
should now be bowling for a generl Act
of Oblivion. Mr.. Pendeton, when the
very existence of the Republic was at
stake, protested vehemently, and with
all his signal ability, against coercion.
His supporters think it hard that this
peculiarly ofhis past political life should
now be revived, and they charge the
Ohio Republicans with the resuscita-
tion, untimely and ungenerouS, Of
Dead Issues" 1t would take a double
convex extra gas microscope to discoy-
er the force of this petty cavil. Has
Mr., Pendleton ever changed his opin-
ions? Has he ever done pennance for
his errors? And if he is of the same
mind now as in the early part of the
present decade, is he, while SO many
old matters are unsettled, fit to be
trusted? That is the question IN.
