THE SAME OLD PARTY.

When the Democratic party commenc-
ed breaking up the nation. in the fall of
1860, James Buchanan, then Democratic
President of the United States. sent in
his annual message to Congress, in which
he claimed that the United States had
no power to preserve its own existence,
and the cry of the entire party in the
North all through the war was, No CO.
ercion. You have no power to coerce a
sovereign State" When a large army of
Democratic traitors was marching upon
the capital of the nation, to. seize the ma
tional Congress, and murder the Presi-
dent, such Democrats as /. I. Monahan
were proposing to organize an army of
Democrats in Ohio, to aid their rebel
companions in arms to destroy the ma
ton To show their zeal in the cause of
the rebellion, it is only necessary to re-
fer to DR.. l. T. Monahan's admission
that he proposed to pay out of his own
pocket one thousand dollars for this pur-
pose.
These same scoundrels who then cried
mo coercion, are the same fellows who
are now crying "no contraction" They
warred upon the currency of the coun-
try then; they make war upon it now.
! When the currency-the then hated
| greenback, had become so near worth
less that it took three of these dollars to
/ buy as much as one gold or silver dollar
would buy, we saw this same l. T. Mona
nan hurrying up from the depot in this
place, carrying the joyful news to his
confederates. There was a broad grin
hat and shouted, Gold is three hundred
Gold is three hundredr' Now he and all
the rebel tribe are shouting, mo more
contraction" Who is demanding con-
| traction? This same rebel tribe 1t is
they who are demanding the extinction
of the National Banks, which now fur
nish all the currency called for by the
I demands of trade. These same old reb-
els are the fellows who are demanding
contraction. By the Republican law OF
last winter, thousand millions of dol
lars of this safe currency can be furnish
ed, if needed by the demands of trade
and this would bring twelve hundred
millions of bonds into taxation, which
they pretend ought to be done But
they want greenbacks. which would re
lease his bonds from taxation. A furth.
er issue of greenbacks would not make
more money. 1t would merely destroy
@what money we now have. That is just
exactly what these old rebel want. They
failed in their Internal scheme of de
stroying the nation by war, and now
they hope to effect the same purpose by
destroying its credit. They hope to eff
feet this purpose by deluding the needy
with the cry OF more money.
Let every man of sense remember that
this profession of desire for more mon
ey is all sham. If they desired more
money, they would not attack the Ma
.tionaI Banks, which are capable of fur
nishing the best paper currency the
world ever had, and in any quantity
needed.

vINToN COUNTY.

Our correspondent reports everything
quiet in Vinton The Democracy is
alarmed at the situation, and proposes
''stumping" the county Home talent is
to be called out.
When the Democratic convention is
manipulated to force upon the people
candidate for the Legislature that the
mass of the party did not want, it will
hardly do to try to whip in with the par

much independence to be driven in to

Any man with half sense who hears
one of Sam Cary's harangues, knows at
once that he is a scoundrel The Cincin-
natl Commercial has exposed his lying
and rascality from the official records in
Hamilton county. Here is how the Com
mercial comes at the great blatherskite:
The statement in yesterdays CONNER
cial that Sam Cary reported at the Audi
tors Office that he had placed S25. 500 in
United States bonds, last winter, is a
matter of record He received the sum
named for a house and lot on Main
street, taken for the site of the Postoffice,
and an awful price he paid for it, too.
When the Auditor saw, in the spring fol-
lowing-that is, last spring-that he
made no return showing the existence of
this amount, the great Columbian orator
was called for. and he had placed his
money in bonds The money was paid
him on the day before last Christmas.
Now, if he stuck his money into bonds
merely to evade taxation, he was guilty
of a shabby trick-a trick utterly unbe-
coming good citizen; and if he bought
the bonds as an investment, and Is reg
ular coupon clipper, he ought not to be
bowling about the bondholders.

ALESHIRE.

Mr.. Aleshire says all he wants at our
hands is justice. He shall have this.
We are no irresponsible carpet-bagger,
lying about candidates. We have been a
resident Of Jackson county for more
than fifty years, and we hope to stay
here quarter of century longer, and
publish a paper that shall stand high for
its character for justice and right.
Mr. Aleshire desires US to publish his
testimony in the Tilton case, and we do
so. cheerfully. 1t is taken from our re-
port at the time of the trial:
James A Aleshre-I was on the
ground two days-the Goth and 9th No
vember. Several persons were there.
Samuel Hayth was with US, and we found
the boy to point out the place where Mrs
Tilton had been. He located the point
nearly on line from where the boy had
been shot to Mrs Tilton's house, and
near little bush He afterwards locat-
ed Dr. Boggess at nearly the same point.
This was perhaps forty feet from the
place where the ball had struck the
fence We examined thoroughly for
marks where the ball might have struck,
if it had come either way, but we could
not find any marks, at any point. ball
coming from the stone quarry so as to
strike the boy, would pass into the or

of fire arms If q gun has been kept

been recently fired, 1t also depends
much upon the dampness of the weather.

The Portsmouth Times appears to

thumb. The Times cracked its whip.
and the Tribune had to say:

date for State Senator in this district, de
nies that he is in favor of division of
the common school fund. He claims
to be friend of the common schools.
Why do not these papers publish the
communication written by Monahan,

at his request, we, published two weeks
ago? Then the people of Scioto county

The following is from the Portsmouth
Globe:
On the currency question Mr.. Morton
left very many things unsaid, and many
obscure; he did not say that the present
Administration had not contracted the
currency, and that fearfully; he did not
say that every time new batch of Ma
tional bank paper was issued, that green
backs had to be cancelled or destroyed.
If Morton had said that, he would
have said that which is not true. Does
Mr.. Drake intend to convey the idea
that greedbacks must be cancelled or de-
stroyed every time National bank paper
is issued? There is not one word OF
truth in it. Why do not these editors
publish the the law of last winter? That
would give The lie to all such insinua-
tions as the above.

On Saturday night the store of R. S.
Wilcox, at Hamden, was broken into,
the safe blown open, and one hundred
and fifty dollars and two watches stolen.
This is the inevitable result of present
Democratic teaching. Rascals are taught
that men who own property are fit sub
jects for plunder Old Allen is telling in
nearly all his speeches how he pardoned
man out of the Penitentiary who was
sent from Portsmouth for forging an or
der for 81 so, and the crowds of petty
rascals who listen to this invariably cheer
when he tells it. He and all his tribe
encourage petty larceny and midnight
robbery

money plenty in jackson county is to

doubt of it. When the county was last
