COLUMBUS, June Atm, 1873.
EDITOR DEMooRAT-The heat Of sum.
mer is upon us, and the great crowd does
transpire, as they file oblique around the
piled up debris Of the dismantled temp
les of the money changers, together with
the mortar and material for new edihces
to be dedicated to the same tonsorial,
legalized barbarisms, Mortar, marble
and muscle, together with all the mater
ial required for the purpose, are sadly
deprecated, which condition of affairs
move the bankers to erect and project
palatial palaces, and at the same time
enter caveat on their claim as public
benefactors, as in one sense they are; for
an individual or firm giving employment
to stricken labor is savior; but the vir-
tue is dwarfed when we realize the ter
rible shrinkage of all values, except the
rates across bank counter All classes,
other than shylocks. are disabled, not
only from building, but from living at
their wonted rate, therefore from dis
bursting, as before the days Of Sherman
and national class legislation.
They can, with the patronizing air pc
culiar to the craft, fix the market price
of mortar and muscle, and know exactly
when to build. They repudiate the idea
that legitimate government has any
other mission than to swell the value OF
money, and shrink the manhood OF mer-
chants, manufacturers and mechanics, as
they come Cringing, to be devoured by
the experts dealing in spot cast
That some facts are reflected In this
| little exordium many Of your readers,
and more who are not can recognize,
for the victims referred to are all classes
outside the temples. Those not COM
pletel crushed are maintaining a sickly
existence, to finally suCCumb to the king
of earthly terrors, the great m@lstrom
that overshadows and absorbs every in
terest that approaches the vortex for sue
Cor-they are sucked and disappear.
The only practical way out Of the will
derness is to follow the beacon light Of
the Democracy, as held aloft and advanC-
ed by the sages of that grand old organi'
zation. Banded Nationals, GreenbaCk-
ers, and other ephemeral side issues, in
circus tent parlance; the annexes may
puff and hoist the escape valves on their
little switches, but their career is short,
and the adventures soon find themselves
on one of the through lines probably
the one on which they were passengers.
Preyer to the advent of your sir oracle
on publishing alley in Canton. But 1
digress, for my purpose was only to refer
to few thoughts on Columbus.
The religious excitement ofa few weeks
ago has quite subsided, and the active
elements thereof have betaken them
selves to legitimate efforts at their own
affairs. From the burly Hammond down
to the bilious Poindexter, embracing be-
tween these extremes many truly emf.
nent divines, also the reconstructed
Rosevally, Ia rose of the valley by any
other name would smell as sweet,) who
has at last found beauty and divinity
in the life, death and resurrection of the
meek and lowly Nazarene, not taught in
the Pentateuch. All have gone; the big
tent is folded for some other field, and
the piercing eloquence of the Combina-
ton is no more heard from out OF the
abundance of tongue.
The Radicals begin to Concede that the
fraud nut cracked by Potter contains
some meat; and they no longer call it an
absurdity, for facts are developing tend
ing to implicate another of the Sherman
family in high-handed fraud.
Early this morning your correspond
ent met Stark county man, full of Vi
tality and business, no less parsonage
than DR.. L. i. Lamborn of Alliance, who
is here in the interest of the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum. The Doctor manifests a
warm sympathy in the coming destiny
of the Democratic party; not perhaps be-
cause of its traditions, but because it is
on the track of genuine patriotism, and
loyal to all sections and all interests.
Gen, Lee, also from your county, now in
the service of the Treasury department,
was afoat early, and the veterans met
before the fire department bell told the
hour of six. The General is building
popularity with all classes as courteous
gentleman and faithful friend.
