And gentlemen and fellow-citizens,
lemme say further, that this $50, TO-
gether with certain other moneys paid in
at this shrine Of justice, goes to buy .
hoss for this ere court, which may serve
to convince the legal gentleman who in

He said: Gentlemen of the Jury,
charging jury is new business to me,
as this is my first case. You have heard
all the evidence as well as myself; you
have also heard what the learned counsel
have said. If You believe what the
counsel for the plaintiff has said, your
verdict will be for the plaintiff; bat if,
on the other hand you believe what the
defendants counsel has told you, then
you will give a verdict for the defendant
But if you are like me, and don't believe
what either of them have said, then I'll
be-if l know what you will do. Con-
stable, take charge of the jury"

They came here without the solici-

done some good, but we are sure
they have done much more harm.
Some members of Christian church,
es at first encouraged them, hoping
that they might have accomplished
something, but very soon dropped
them in disgust. We believe them
as Il rule, to be persons who are too
lazy to earn an honest living, and
who find it easy to impose on per-
sons, and "steal the livery of heav-
en-" to serve themselves and the
devil in. 1t is Il matter of almost
common knowledge here that their
conduct has been such as to shame
the cause they pretend to advocate,

the distinction of having been run

The wheat is all in barn or stack

Corn in this township is not look

of the grub-worms, which have

Just how long the government of
the United States will remain quiet
under the repeated insults to our
flag, we are unable to tell, but there
is point at which forbearance
ceases to be virtue.
England should be meekly solicit
ed to keep violent hands off the
property of the citizens of this COM
mon-wealth, and If she continues
to presist, Canada should at once
be annexed to the U. S., and an at
tempt made to civilize her people.
The possession of the vast terri
tory known as British America by
the Government of England is Il
standing menace to our Govern
ment and should not be tolerated.

Give us a Rest.

We have n few Republican neigh
bors who are determined to see no
good in the Democratic party, and
to set down every Democratic per-
formance as bad. They are just
now engaged in proclaiming u weak
theory that Hon. Beriah wilkins
was rcnominated for Congress by
fraud. OF course they present no
proof, and not even suggestions of
proof. They never do. They sim
ply rise up on their hind legs and
yell "fraudw There was = very
warm contest in the convention
which recently nominated wilkins
for the third tipe. Holmes, CO.
shocton andLicking counties all had
strong candidates to whom they
were devoted, and as Mr.. Wilkins
had already been elected twice,
they pressed their men with un-
common vigor. The contest had
to come to an end some time, and
if it had closed in favor of Judge
Hunter, of Newark, there would
no doubt have been as many charg-
es of fraud as there are now. 1t is
claimed that the votes which final
ly renominated wilkins were cap
tured from Licking county, through
the Vaccinations of Col. Isaac r..
Hill, IL very "slick" politician, who
now occupies the position of Assist
ant Sergeant-at-arms 0fthe Nation
al House of Representatives, and
who has the threatening front of
Jove when he goes for refractory
members with the mace. Isaac
once facetiously observed that he
was for wilkins in Washington and
Hunter in Newark, and we verify
suspect he was for wilkins in Co
shoctOn, where the convention was
held. He no doubt influenced a
number of Licking county delegates
to leave Hunter and vote for Viii.
kins; but he influenced them by
his persuasive eloquence, and not
in the mercenary manner remotely
suggested in the Republican prints.
Isaac has Il tongue as wheedling as
that of the duke of Gloucester
Licking county has no great
ground for complaint. Indeed, our
understanding is that Judge Hun.
ter and his friends are not "kick-
ing" 1t is the Republicans who
are throwing their boot heels into
the circumambient air and squeal.

We pause to inquire, what busi.
ness it is of the Republicans, any.
how.
Don't they know that not one OF
their party would have voted fol
any one Of the candidates even had
he been nominated.
