The Stark County DEMOCRAT bestows
eulogy upon all Democrats who labor un'

The advancement of the cause, not in
dividual preferment, should be the OBJ.

forming this duty, Democratic represen'

of their constituents. We admire the
good sense Of Senator Fisher Of CoshoC'

sion and obey in good faith. Were We
representative we should desire such
instruction, with a view to preserving
harmony at home. In a multitude o
counsel there is wisdom; and then it il
