Editors OF the Register:
HAYES and Wheeler There it is, and
now pray what do you say to the pre-.
scription of the Cincinnati doctors?
Also those transcendently satisfactory
and prosperous directions for taking the
same, as they may be read in that I'm
parlelled platform, what do you say
about them2 But then suppose it to
be- not near so much to the point, what
you or may say about them, as what
they, who more probably may be ex-
pecled to accept and swallow the dose,
say about the Cincinnati ticket and plat
form 1 have been fortunate enough
to be made acquainted with the state of
feeling and opinion produced in most Of
our truly loil leaders of Hancock county
and have to-report to you that the
feeling is one of disappointment and
alarm. Hayes proves to be very sur
prislng, because very undesired, sun
known" though your correspondent, in
the spirit of generous and merciful
prophecy, has been warning them every
day for the past two months, precisely
to the name and letter of the fate that
has overtaken them. The consciousness
existing in the party of the fatal weak
ness of all the great representative men
of the Radical party insured the defeat
of all of that class, and there existed
not hope for the potent and defiant or
ganization save IN the development OF q
totally.new order of things, in which the
notorious Radical party should seem to
be in personelle and in pro-
fession, as unlike rs possible to
all that it has been. The asser-
ton that the nomination OF Hayes is n
repetition of the Democratic strategy
adopted in the nomination Of Polk, in
IA, is a grand error. The cases are not
parallel. Polk, although inconspicuous
as leader, was possessed of good
measure OF experience in National af-
fairs, and was, in fact, las he afterwards
amply displayed) u real statesman in his
composition; but, above all, he was u
thoroughly and faithfully representative
man of the party that nominated him.
HAYES, on the other hand, besides being
without appreciate experience aid con-
fessedly with but limited capacity for
craftsmanship, is not in any sense a re-
preventative of his party. The voter for
Polk knew bravely what he was voting
fora tariff for revenue and the snnexa
ton of Texas; the voter for Hayes will
vote for something quite as unknown"
AS his candidates identity ever was In the
Ia,n - Nai
Let it not be understood, however, that
the iucus non lucendo nomination Of
HAYES is n weak one; on the contrary it
was about the strongest that could have
been made. Hayes very unlIkeness to
the party whose spirit and policy he is
presumed to embody and reflect is his
largest element of strength: and the
Democracy will not defeat hlm without
great prudence and activity to aid them.
With these victory is certain.
The utmost satisfaction prevails among
our ranks here about the State ticket.
Even the chronic fault.fnders lind
nothing to grumble at. The firm. Ju-
dicious, yet modest bearing OF the Pan
Handle delegation was the great power
that directed and moderated the action
of the Charleston Convention. That
mower was never exercised more hap
PLY.
The levy term of our County Court
was held to-day. The levy WAS fixed at
So cents on the 5000 decrease of u
cents from last year.
The tanner in this region complain
greatly of the dry weather, which threat
ems much injury to the hay, oats and
other crops. Between the prospective
short crops and the prospective low price
of wool, the nus bandman sees the future
only as vanity and vexatlon.
The Fourth of July is to be- celebrated
at New Cumberland by grand Sunday

Centennial next week. ,

and laid out between Fairvlew and New
