ANEcDoTE OF STEPHEN GIRAnD.-Old
Girard had favorite clerk, and he always said
"he intended to do well by Ben Lippincott." !"
So when Ben got to be 21 he expected to hear
the Governor say something of his future
prospects, and perhaps lend helping hand in
starting him in the world. But the old fox
carefully avoided the subject Ben mustered
courage, eI suppose am free Sir" said he,
''and 1 thought l woud say something to you
as to my course, what do you think l had bet
ter do" eyes, yes, I know you are" said
the old millionaire, "aId my advice is that
you go and learn the coorer's trade" This
application of ice nearly froze Ben out, but
recovering equilibrium, he said if Mr.. Girard
was in earnest he would do so. "I am in
earnest and Ben sought the best cooper in
Spring Garden, became an apprentice, and in
due time could make as good a barrell as the
best. He announced to old Stephen that be
had graduated and was ready to set up business.
The old man seemed gratifed, and imm ediately
ordered three of the best barrels he could turn
out. Ben did his prettiest, and wheeled them
up to the old mans counting room. Old Gil

The bill was made out, and old Steve set
tied it with a check for $4,000, which he ac.
complained with this little moral to the story ::


"There take that and invest it in the best
possible manner, and and if you are unfortun-
ate and loose it, you have a good trade to fall
back upon which will afford you good living"

REVOLUTION BOLDLY PRooLAIMEDi-Tbis
Government is in imminent peril every hour
that ths Republican party exists. Already
we hear Revolution boldly proclaimed as its
purpose, by some Of its ablest leaders. Hear
what Carl Schurz said in public speech few
days ago.


May tho God in human nature be aroused
and pierce the very soul of our nation witt an
energy that shall sweep as with the bosom Of
destruction this obomination of slavery from
our land.

Bae Mr.. DOUGLAS, IN late speech at New
ark, Now Jersey, said:


"Fellow-citizens, you have now a very brief
epitome of my opinions on the great questions
of the day. I am told that it is imprudent
for candidate for the Presidency to make
public speeches lest he should say something
that would injure him in some parts of the
country. l am told that this is a large coun-
try, that there is great variety of opinions,
and what is popular in New Jersey might be
unpopular in other States. 1 know candi
date is expected to put a paddock to his lips
and play the dummy, lest something might
pass his lips which would harm him. / hold
no opinions that 1 ain not ready to avow in
any place where the American flag waves.
CCheers.1 I don't desire any vote who
amt willing to drop the slavery question, and
let the people regulate their own local affairs.
TApplause. I'll form no fusion or cos lition
with any b1dy of men whose opinions on the
leading issue are in contravcntioh of my own.
TCheers. am willing to Unite with all who
oppose and fight any man who fights against
the peace and harmony of the country
TCheefs.1 You may think this is plain talk
There is no reason why should not talk
plainly To have the Presidency is to me a
matter OF very tile Importance confess to
you that my ambition, my chief desire would
be to resume my seat in the Senate. If any
one of you thinks he is doing me a favor by
voting for me, think I am doing him quite
as great favor by accepting it. don't want
the Office, unless for your good, for mine, for
our children and posterity. L have children
that trust will grow up; and love them as
you do yours, and yet l don't desire them to
see the last days of this Union"


Contrast that with the mum policy of Mr..
Lincoln, who does not open his lips or write a
letter for fear of injuring his political pros
pects He will find that many Independence

This is very important question to set
tie in Ohio this fall and one that comes home
! to us with great force. The rapid increase of
the colored population in Ohio and particular


ly in this part of the State, is already exciting


alarm, and if continued, may at no distant day,
raise the question Of the supremacy of races
The stand taken by the leaders of the Repab-
lican party, who make all their platforms and
give tone to all their principles, to place the
African on an equality with the whites is


drawing thousands into the State, and giving
| TAR too much arrogance to many already here.


That Giddings, Chase, and those who control


the Republicans, intend to gain large vote in
Ohio from this source there can be no doubt


However much Republicans may deny that
they favor the equality of the races thayf aan-
not deny the fact that, in all their platforms is
| ayowed, and in all their legislation, and
in all their judicial decisions, they take
bold and open stand, to give the col
ored man the rights of the white man.
They have now on their State ticket


asking for your votes this fall, Judge who
has decided that black man, or one part no.
gro, is entitled to vote in Ohio, and old Gid
dings made the Republicans put into their
platform at Chicago, the declaration s'that all
men were created free and equal" with the
express understanding that it included both
the black man and the white man. And Lin
SoiH HttnScA has SuOOiSSu lHc SatuS
doctrine in his public speeches, and to-day,
stands before the American people the ady O.
cate of the equality of the races, and no man
can cast vote for the Republican ticket,
without voting for negro equality. lie votes
to uphold Judge who has decided that ne
groes are entitled to vote in Ohio. These gla-
ring facts brings this question home to every
voter direct No one can evade the issue,
however much he may talk to the contrary
IF he votes the Republican ticket, he votes for
negro equality in Ohio. fsaa.sf


We ask the laloring men of this city and
county, and of the State, if they will counten-
ance, or aid this continued negro shrieking,
this constant effort of the Republicans to bring
the Africans in competition with the whites
This great evil is growing upon as, and the
sooner we meet it the better. We had better
settle the question before it is to late, whether
our fathers made government for white peo-
pie, or for whites and blacks equally. The Re-
publcans have taken their stand, and advocate
the equality of a mixed race, and the extension
Of political rights to the negro. The Democ-
racy join issue with them, and proclaim this
government one formed by our fathers for the
white race that the two races cennot live on
an equality side by side, and that nature nev-
er intended they should that they are two
distinct races, and each must occupy distinct
and separate situations, and the path of duty
to any voter is plain. IF he believes that our
Government and Union are for the white race,

Dad Has Struck He.-The following
story is current in Titusville. In a
neighborhood on the creek. lived and
labored son of Vulcan, who with his
limited means, had barely enough to
secure a small piece of land and to OBJ
tain scanty living for his rising fami-
ly. The ideas of his children had been
taught to shoot but little in any di-
rection toward knowledge orrefnement
and he little expected to be anything
more than the village blacksmith.


But when the oil fever broke out,
learning of the success Of his neigh
bors in finding oil, he thought that he
might while away his spare hours in
drilling hole upon his homestead lot;
and having tools convenient, he went
to work, and after few weeks of pa
tient industry was successful in obtain
ing a good show of oil.


1t was soon noised about the village,
and the blacksmith was somebod4 at

and to secure favorable acquaintance
with this heiress of the oil we'll. For
a while the natural timidity of the boys
kept the aloof; but, at last, one of the
boldest and best favored among them
determined to try his luck, and on Sun
day evening, attired in his best, reso

escort the damsel home. Imagine his
chagrin, when she turning upon him

Old maids are if possible more laughed at
than old bachelors, though know not with
what reason. 1t is generally supposed that
old bachelors are such from choice, while old
maids are so from necessity. Public opinion
is here again at fault, at least in some cases
where women remain single from their own.
But those who are looked upon as the real
old maid are class of females who by no
means of their own free choice array them
selves in virgin white; but like certain des-
olate countries of the middle age, they con-
tinue free because no one ever thought them
worthy of conquest. They have outlivesl
