This plain and sensible plan, %
successful II other States. has been
met with 4 bitter opposition and a
dagoo6iug temper, which have prov
ed quite ineffective except to strength
en- this resolution of the great major
ity Of good citizens. who are not par.
tisans, politicians or spells seekers.
When those who advocate this plan
are traducel d marplots and allies Of
the Radicals iar resisting this attempt
to dictate. and logmatize to them ;
when men who have fought the bat
tlea Of Democracy for thirty years,
and who have made the, largest saoli-
fees in a constant struggle against
Radicalism, are willing to- forcgo all
party or personal pride Ia order to
effect q unfon Of ali tho elements Of
opposition to the powerful party now
holding the State and Federal Gov:
eminent, we think the recent adopt
ers Of that ancient title ought not to
be greatly agohizsd by surrender
of their very limited interostin what
ever of glory attaches to the name Of
this venerable party. Besides the
Judgment of the people which con.
demns the ''close. eomnannionism" Of
the "so.called," it must be obvious
that the prosecution of this plan will
result in two or more conventions
composed of men who are all united
in tho one idea aud ed. Of the COM
ing campaign. Where q union of all
who wish to take part in this contest
is demanded, those who insist upon
tile battle being fought under the
name, banner and leaders Of q single
one OF, tho divisions which make up
the grand army, the proposition is
offensive to good sense, to the amour
p,opte of men, and is only prom6tive
Of nnpatrNtic iliacord and division,

mand will be abandoned, and that all
good citizens, among whom We have
no objectidn to include even the u.s.
pirauts, ~ Office: will rally to, the

Such a rate Of taxation for putpo-
ses Of civil government Is out Of all
reasonable bounds, impossible, and
certainly in this case void. +, alu,y,;

career Of the horses. The two youths
who were principally interested In the
matter, and who hailed from Bridgeport,

other stopped 10 take In the situation

on the subject, was politely sccosted BY
the Marshal and escorted TO the Mayors

or 90 the other party returned with the
horses, and finding bis friend In the
clutches Of the police, concluded that be
didn't want any police in his, and putting

GLASS TOoIs.-Messrs. John Young &
Andrew Bags, Of the La Belle Glass
Works, Bridgeport, Ohio, have recently
perfected their GlAss Croze, for which
they received patent some months ago.
This Croze has been thoroughly tested BY
the best workmen in this section, and
has given the utmost satisfaction. Under
their patent Messn Young q Bags
are preparing 10 manufacture cooper
planes, foAb and stock bowels,
which will be entirely Of glass or
faced with glass, They will also manu-
lScture carpenterS planes, which will be
faced with glass. This glss surface Is
found TO be vastly superior to the wooden
surface, as II never wears and must Of ne.
cessity always remain true. The planes
and other tools will come within the
reach Of every mechanic, their cost be-
ing but little above that Of the ordinary
wooden tools now in use. The proprie-
tors are now engaged in the preparation
of the mods necessary Tor all the variety
of tools which they expect 10 make under
their patent, and will have them ready
in time to put their goods upon the mar
ket Tor the fall trade, Mr.. Young and
John P. Glass are also the pstentees o.
the glass nail picker which has recently
been tried in the La Belle Mil with q
very high degree Of success. 1t would
seem as II glass is destined to play very
conspicuous part in the improvement
which are being perfected in tools ant
machinery.
