nasoalitu in Holmes County

The census just complete in Hol-
mes county shows that the Demo
cracy OF that strong hold were up to
to the tricks of the Democracy of
New York. The ret rms of the cen
sus takers show a loss in population,
within the last ten years, of about
twelve hundred inhabitants. Yet,
strange as it may seem, every fall
election has exhibited a steady in
crease in the total vote, and cor
responding increase in the majority
for the Democracy. In the town
ship in which Millersburg is situat
ed, the total vote of 1868 was 8l2
as reported on the poll book, out O
a population of less than $500. NJ
wonder the Democracy look tC
Holmes county for a heavy majority
at the return of every election. Tht
Democracy for years cast an illega
vote of not less than five hundred IL
that county.

A wOr5 en- Uo4ax-

The time is now almost at hand
for us to again exercise that greatest
of gifts given to freemen, the privil-
ege and duty of voting. The pres
ent is almost an anomaly in the his
tory of our country-the calmness
of the public mind, and its freedom
from excitement. This is ominous
Of good. 1t is evidence both of
prosperity and contentment among
the people,. and the best assurance
they can give of being well governed
1t is the sober judgment of the peo-
pie, in their approval of good and
healGhy administration of our pub
lie affairs; that we are at peace
among ourselves and with all the
nations of the earth; that our ma
tional deb is regularly diminishing;
that our national credit is steadily
rising; that our taxes are growing
less; that our resources are aug
menting; that our currency is sound,
are arguments that need no elucida-
ton. Some complain Of hard times,
it is true, but some always complain.
I know of no man (were it possible)
who would exchange the present
time, all things considered, for any
other time we have seen during the
last twenty-five years. Now these
blessings are not the result of acci-
dent. Under the blessings of di-
vine and beneficient Being, they are
the results of the development of
certain measures and principles,
which are cardinal with the Repub-
lican party, and which underlie the
structure of our government. We
are, at the present, only beginning to
reap the benefits of these principles,
and how unwise it would oe now, to
change them. Our government is
large, and its machinery ponderous,
and we are only on our second year
since Mr.. johnson had the helm of
State, and President Grant has not
yet got his machine in fair running
order. But what is our duty? To
vote for Foster and help make a
Congress that will notrepudiate and
go back on what we have gained.
johnson said repudiate. Grant says
pay. Democracy says free trade, the
voice of every President from Wash
ington to Vanburen, says "Protect
and foster our own manufactures.
Some Of the Democrats say vote for
Dickinson, but we say vote for Eos
ter and the Republican ticket. We
advise no Democrat to vote twice,
but every Republican to vote once,
and to vote early, and prove his

Dickinson Is in favor of tax upon coffee,
tea and sugar, but opposed to the TAX on
whisky and tobaccO.-JOt1ndt-
It = ,,ot necessary for us to call the Journal
a liar because everybody knows 1t. All we
bs17e To do is to go to the record. Here it is:
Al the last session Of Congress the Hon.
George W. Morgan, Of Ohio, introduced the
following resolution.
Resolved, That as means Of relief to the
people, and IN some degree to equalize taxa
ton the Committee on Ways and Means be,
and said Committee are hereby instructed to
report bill, first, TO exempt salt, coffee, tea,
sugar, matches and tobacco from every species
of taxation for Federal purposes; second, to
impose tax Of two and a half per cent. IN
gold on all bonds heretofore issued or which
may be hereafter issued by the Government
Of the United States.
Now, Dickinson, Mungen, Van Trump ana
Strader voted for the resolution, and every
Radical in Congress voted against lt.-INes-
sengeT.
That's one thing, but that's not
the point at issue. On the 9th OF
June Schenck moved an amendment
to the tariff bill greatly reducing the
duties on teas, coffees and sugars,
| DC, &c. Here WAS the polnI WherS
Mr.. Dickinson could have shown
his honest sentiments on the point
in question, and lie did. Instead OF
voting in favor of the resolution
and placing himselfon the record as
the poor mans friend, he todged
skulked, and was afraid to show his
hand, and neither Of the others voted
for it either. That's what's the mat
ter. It is one thing to vote for 8
buncome resolution, which he knew
would not pass, and another thing tc
vote for a resolution he knew would
pass, although the one he knew
would pass covered the real points
at issue. Try again.

The Ottawa Neps has had a
spasm. It is terribly excited be-
cause we asserted that Salem town
ship gave Dickinson 280 votes two
years ago, when the late census
showed but 210 voters. 1t denoun-
ces the statement as Radical lie,
specimen brick, etc, but forgets to
say that Dickinson did not get that
many votes in that township two,
years ago, and forgets to prove that
he did not, by showing the vote he
did get. Denunciation will not win.
Well you tell US wha, became Of
those 1876 voters who voted forDick-
inson in 1868, but who did not Uote
for Seymour one month later? And
how many of those voters were miss
ing from the Salem return, when the
November vote was compared with
the October vote2 There's the rub.
Neither friend Clark. nor "any other
man. can deny that there was that
falling Of in the Democratic vote of
Ottawa county in one month, and
that during that month, runners were
engaged gathering up the papers
issued by their Probate Judge. and
destroying them so that they might
not appear as evidence against him
1t will not do, Clark, Figures don't
lie" in that case, and 195 Ottawa,
Dickinson's votes, were non est com
ati5us, when looked for in Novem-
Der. Stand up to the rack, Clark,
and tell us what became Of those
votes.
The number of voters at present
in Salem is about 29O-21O was a
mistake,

Republican with heavy Republican
majorities in both branches of the
Legislature. The Republican ma

The Hillsborough Gazette, Demo
cratic organ of Highland county,
holds the following opinion:
"France fights the battles of Lib
erty and Equality against aristocrat-
ic privilege and depotism. She has
the brains of Europe, and in her sue
cess the hopes of science and civili-
zation are centered. HOW ANY
ONE WHO HAS READ HISTORY

MENT EXPECT THIS GREAT
NATION TO BE WAIPPED BY

PRETEND SUCH AN OPINION
ARE ONLY THROWING OUT A
BAIT FOR THE VOTE OF THE

which Democracy holds of Germans.

The total gains in these thirty-six counties
is 167,4l3 the tOtalloss 90 204 showinga net gain
Of 1877, ,204. These counties contain about one
third the entire population OF the state. Should
the same ration of increase prevail in the rest
of the state, the total gain in the state would
be about Al, ,62l, and the total population of
state 2, 2,750,090 But we believe that the coun-
ties OF the southern will average larger rate
of increase. Mlhoning will show a gain of at
least 5000, Rlchland of perhaps 1000, Will
liams OF 5000 or 1000, and Wood as many
more. The gain in Hamilton county, in the
southern district, will be from eighty to
hundred thousand, and other counties in
Southern Ohio will show large gains. We
think, therefore, that the population of the
state will be nearly, though not quite, three
millions.

The Proofs Of it!

In last weeks paper we took oc-
casion to lay before our readers one
of the latest papers issued from the
office of Judge Dickinson, signed in
his own hand, and stamped with the
seal Of his court. We present it
again, for the purpose of refreshing
his memory. Like Banquo's ghost,
these things refuse to "down" at
his bidding, even though he grows
afrighted at their appearance now
and then as evidence of his deeds:

Several weeks ago we announced
that our answer to the Rev. CarrolI's
communication in the Messenger Of

pressure upon our columns. We
deemed that sufficient notice to the
reverend gentleman that we did not
desire to discuss the matter in ques-

and fully intended renewing it as
soon as the campaign was over. A

time to this, would have satisfied

absents himself from home on a
journey, or for pleasure, or business,
or allows any obstacle or calamity
over which be has control to keep
him from voting, is not worthy the

just such little papers as the
above got the dudge into a little
difficulty before the United States
Court, which is still pending, and
although the Judge cavorts and pre-
tends he wants to be tried and all
that, yet if the question as to the
right of the Probate Court to issue
papers was determined to morrow,
and his honor be notified to appear
for trial, he would be lacking a wit.
ness, or not ready to appear. And
the cause of all this is the fact that
the little difficulty contains twenty
counts, on either of which, if convic-
ted, he would have a chance of serv-
ing the State in a different capacity
than that in which he has displayed
his ability recently. Following, we
