What HAYES is Proving.
From the Newark Journal,

The fact of the matter is Mr.. Hayes is
simply proving to the American people
that he is much weaker and smaller man
than they estimated him last fall, when.
by round million majority of the white
voters-of the country, they defeated him
for the presidency. Asa consistent civil
service reformer. he is the biggest farce
our politics has ever produced, fact that
every day is becoming palmer and palmer.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. l3,-The Anti-Hayes
Republican Committee are receiving let
ters warmly approving of the resolutions
adopted by the meeting held in this city
last week. A Republican in Hamilton
county writes; Il am a Republican, but
not politician. / was an ardent support
er of Gov. Hayes, and even now have
more of sorrow than Of censure for his
course, ] think your move III the right
direction, and l believe thousands of Re-
publicans will step forward and uphold
the flag you have unfurled.
Another prominent Republican in
Warren county says; go ahead; you are
right. 1t is better to stick to principle and
be defeated, than to surrender principle
and be successful. Now that Halslead,
Matthews, SChurz, and other gnerrillas
have possession Of the machine, let them
run it. | do not propose to help,
And Morrew county Republican
writes: Every Republican in this county
will admit that the resolutions represent

nor do we intend to let men like Murat

the resolutions, and from Madison county
the writer says; II am no office seeker.
A number of the best Republicans we
have here will not vote the ticket, while
others openly declare they will vote with
the Democrats, if necessary, 10 rebuke the
presumption of Hayes.
Delaware county says: Count me ill.,
The medicine you propose is biCter, but
the party needs something strong to Put
it in healthy condition. For my part,
! would rather have Tom Ewing gor George

Democratic party held responsible, than
to have a scratching, dodglng, vacllatlng
man like Matthews there, and have the
Republican party held responsible for bis

down quietly and allow the Cincinnati
Commercial to rasp anything into me with

The committee is in receipt of a vast
number of letters from all sections That
the trouble is spreading over the State Is
quite apparent, All OF the above extracts
are taken from letters OF men quite proml-

KN0W.NO7HING WEST.

When the baleful light Of Know-Noth-
ingism came upon the country in 1854,
we in connection with our brother VIM.
Hubbard, were publishing a Whig paper
In this place--the old Logan Gazette.
The Whig party, then the majority party
of the country, was, with few honora'
BILE exceptions, utterly swallowed up in
the furious crusades against our foreign
population, and the feeling against the
Gazette, on account ofits denunciation Of
the vile Order, and it's devotion to the
principles of equal rights, ard religious
liberty, became so fierce and Vengeful,
that we were compelled TO sell our office
to save ourselves from the business ruin
with which the miserable and proscrip-
tive bigots threatened us
To whom, as representatives OF this
new political dispensation of higotry and
hate, did we sell: Who had sworn, with
one hand upon the Holy Bible, and the
other raised to Heaven, never to vote for
foreigner for any office in the gift Of
the American people--who, we ask, had
sworn this midnight oath, that they were
fitted for purchasers Of our paper in this
emergency, and for the vile business
which the purchase impliedY
Messrs. James Walker and William II.
West were the individuals! And by this
transfer to them the old Whig Gazette,
without a stain upon its name, was pros.
tituted to the uses of prescription and
bigotry, with Walker & West as editors
Since Mr.. West, of this quondan edi-
torial firm, has become the candidate for
Governor of party that is accusing his
Democratic opponent of Know. Nothing
ism, this little scrap Of political history is
in order and to the point.-BelIefontatne
