WHETHER to indorse or condemn the
administration in the state platform is
the great conundrum under the weary
weight of which the Ohio Democratic
intellect is now bending. If Ohio were
ever expected to vote for a Democratic
President this question might be of
some consequence to the administration.

The Journal thinks that the civil ser.

AN English gentleman ought to be

be more wicked, but would certainly be
less cruel than the course adopted by

1t is a curious fact that flowers in the
Arctic regions never become confused by
the behavior of the sun in that latitude.
Mr.. Seeman, the naturalist Of Kellett's
Arctic expedition, states that although the
sun never SITS during the long Arctic day,
plants make no mistake about the time
when it should be night according to their
calculations, but regularly, as the evening
hour approach, they droop their leaves
and sleep, precisely as they would do in a
cline where the sun does not stay out Sc
late.
