Political Trimmers.

"Be all things to all men," is the IA
vorite motto of slippery political trim
mcrs. Never anchored by integrity,
truth or principle: the "main chance
is all that moves and guides their affin-
tiles. GLOW much will it -pay. and
how cam seize the prize ?' is the ex-
clamation of the ever restless and ever
grasping political m~ountebank. Ju-
das Iscariot was a trimmer of the first
water. He did not hesitate to reprove
his Master for wanton wastefulness in
permitting himself to be annointed.
He carried the purse, and when the
convenient time came, sold his Master
for thirty pieces of silver! Peter was
a trimmer. When his Master was
captured and placed under guards pri-
or to his trial, and when he was be-
leaguered 10y enemies seeking his life,
Peter declared that he knew him
not! The political, as well as the
moral world, is filled with availability
men-trimmers, who never look beyond
temporary success, and how best to
hoodwink and over-reach the public.
To your face, these fellows are cram
med with soft words and batteries.
Behind your back, they will sell you
for much less than thirty pieces of
silver and help cover you with con-
tumeIy, defamation and disgrace!
If you are approached by a no party
mana man who is without an opin-
ion or a principle. of his own, be on
your guard ; he is a sneak, and will
betray you for a mess of pottage. All
the qualities of a man should be posi-
tive and self reliant. Ifs man is a
moralist, he should be so because he
believes in its creed and intends to ex-
emplify faithfully its doctrines. IT a
man be a Democrat, or a Republican,
let him be so because he is honestly
convinced that his party and principles
are right. If a man gives in adhesion
to either party merely to help himself
to place and power, he does not de-
serve public confidence, and should be
Stunned as a sneak and a trickster.
Give US the hearty, frank, open-heart-
ed, answering Democrat OF Republi-
can, and Jul country and her institu-
lions will be safe, otherwise, not.

PARIS, July 28.-The Journal De-
porisia announces that Favre is no
longer Minister; that he is replaced
in the Office of Foreign Affairs by NJ

negotiators for peace at Brussels.
Duke d'Aumale is c~ontcs:ing the

not to be entitled to vote at elections.

The Presidents Usurpation.

The Senate refused to ratify Mr..
Stewards treaty for the purchase of st.
Thomas. That was the end of it
IKE Senate refused to ratify General
Giants treaty for the lease of the Bay
Of SANTANA. That is not the end Of
that. Grant is not satisfied. He had
paid $4,000 in gold for the first
years rental before the Senate refused
to take action upon the treaty. Since
the Senate's refusal, he has borrowed
S150,000 more. and paid it over to the
agents of Baez for a second years
rental. This action is a usurpation of
authority. Gen. Grant has as much
right to pay over 100000 to the
Danish Government for the Island of
st. Thomas in defiance of the express
ed will of the Senate as he has to pay
Baez $3.50, 600 for another years lease
of the Bay of SANTANA. If he does
the without being called to ac-
count, he may do the former. Gen.
Grant has to-day as much authority
to fly the American flag over the har-
Dor of St. Thomas as he has to spread
it over the harbor of SANTANA. The
assumption of any such power is q
clear usurpation.
Grant has not given up the Sando-
mingo job. He is determined to force
it upon the people. A letter from Sa-
mana, dated June 25, and Published
in the Philadelphia Inquirer, says that
the,naval commanders there have been
directed ''to conform as far as practi-
cable to the wishes of the President
Baez in the disposition of their forces"
Two United States vessels of wal
were then in the harbor. The letter
adds that young Joe Farens will be
down in one of Spofford's steamers,
before the first of August, with the
$50, 900 rental for SANTANA which
Congress refused to pay. Young Fab
ems" the writer says, "has just been
appointed United States Commercial
Agent at this place, an Office created
for him, and for which there is no
need, as there is really no commerce
here, and the very efficient naval store
keeper could transact any business re-
CURED"
This information, occupied with
,Grant'sl letter to the POSTMASTER of Bos-
ton, directing him to assist Fabens in
raising the money for the continuance
of the SANTANA lease, conclusively
proves a concert of action between the
President and the San Domingo con-
spirators. Failing in his effort to CO.
cree the Senate into 4 support of the
scheme to rob the United States treas
ury of millions of dollars, Grant has
acted upon his own responsibility with
out authority of law, treating with
contempt the action of the Senate,
and trampling upon the Constitution.
IF Andrew johnson had done as.
much, he would have been impeach-
ed and removed from Office within a

General Morgan.

The Oberlin NeaUs persists in urg-
ing that the abandonment of Cumber-
land Gap by Gen. Morgan, was a
cowardly transaction If We deemed
the charge of sufficient Importance to
respond, we could quote whole col
umns from every leading Republican
paper in Ohio, to show that they re-
garded the maneuver as great achieve
ment, and unquestionably justifiable
under the circumstances. The author
ity cited by the Ne,0s confirms all we
said, and there can be no excuse for
repeating the old story. The theory
that the Democracy always select
towards for official promotion, may be
good in Oberlin, but no where. else.

Defalcations. :

General Morgan, in his address on
Tuesday evening last, commented
quite freely OF the transactions of the
notorious defaulters, Collector Bailey
of New York and others, and the Ed
itor ofthe Times attempts to divert pub
lie attention by calling the General
ugly names. That our readers may
see at a glance the whole truth we lay
before them a compilation, showing
the amount of ~defalcations arising H.
der Republican administrations al

the Times TO try his teeth on this file.

Constitutional Convention.

Both parties, at their late State Con
ventions, adopted resolutions looking
to the election of delegates or members
to attend n convention for a change,
modification or abrogation of our pres
ent State Constitution. The people
will be called VI on TO determine their
wishes as to the proposed Conven-
ton. Our State Constitution has been
in force nearly twenty years, and ex-
perience has demonstrated that it is
imperfect in many respects. Still, it
is doubtful whether a convention would
not make it worse by more tinkering.
The biennial sessions CT the Legisla-
ture are known to he complete failures.
With one exception, we believe, that
feature of the constitution has been
wholly disregarded. Too much legis-
lation is pernicious. Nevertheless, it
is proper that the people should know
how their money is spent, and demand
frequent settlements. A good deal of
dissatisfaction exists in regard to our
present judicial system. There are
many who think the Common Pleas
and Probate Courts should be blended
and one Judge transact the business
of both; and that each county should
elect its own Judge. The stupendous
growth of corporations requires that
further constitutional safeguards should
be erected to protect the people and
the taxpayers. 1t will not be many
years, unless carefully watched and
restrained, until they will hold the
laboring masses within their grasp.
At any rate, the question of holding a
convention will have to be met by the
people. That the people of Ohio may
act intelligently, it is proper that the
proposed changes shall be fully discuss
the campaign. To this end,
we call the attention of our readers to
an able article on the fourth page of
this paper, by Hon. r. P. Ranney,
who we believe, had a large share in
framing our present constitution,
The States and Union. [volume] (Ashland, Ohio) 1868-1872, 1871-08-02
The Campaign.

The contest in Ohio this year bids
fair to be the ~livliest and most excit.
ing since the memorable campaign OF
1910. The issues of the present are
the most important since the adoption
of tue Federal Constitution. That
every Democrat in Ashland county
may be fully posted upon the great
political struggle which is about to
come off, we propose to furnish the
STATES & UNION, from June LIST to
October 10Th, to clubs of ten new sub.
scribers, at the low price of so cents
each.
Let Clubs be formed in every town
skip and.the papers distributed and
the Democratic majority will be coun-
ted by hundreds. Send in your cash
and names, and ask your conservative
nelghbors also TO do so, and we viii
keep you posted,
The following gentlemen will please act
as our agents in the formation of Clubs and
to whom the subscription can be paid:

are proud.

hearty support? Let every honest
man vote against their thefts, and in
favor of retrenchment and reform.

The A. & e.. W. Railroad.

The Western portion of the A. q
G.. w. Railway was sold on the Goth
of July, at Akron, to Hon. A. G..
Thurman and Gen. g.. B. Mcclellan,
as Trustees. The eastern half of the
road had been sold at public auction
to the same parties some days-before.
The road 5 snow fully in the possession
of the English stockholders, and we
trust, that its management in the fu-
ture, since it is wrested from the pos
session of the New York ring, will be
more successful, and less prejudiced
to western produce shippers and the
farmers generally. The road ought,
under proper management, do, an i'm
mense business.
