You -had better rent a gimlet hale and retire for a few weeks; you need rest. Thk Journal attacks Mr. Voorhees for vot ing, in February, 1S62, against a bill prohib iting military oCicers from returning fugitive slaves to their masters. Abraham Lincoln was, by the constitution, commander-in-chief of the army ar.d navy, and coojd have made an order at any time on this subject. It is well remembered, however, ttiat Mr. Lincoln in his inaugural address ot March" 4, 18G1. announced (hat he would execute the f agitive slave law, and he did so, both in the district of Columbia, through his United States marshal. Colonel Ward 11. Lamon, and elsewhere through his subordinate army officers. Is the Journal willing to blacken Mr. Lincoln's memory In order . to make a point on Mr. Voorhees? ' Mr. Voorhees was only as pro-slavery in that instance as Abra ham Lincoln, r- ; - . I Theoixwe Thomas has been invited by a number of the prominent citizens of Cincinnati to take the musical directorship of "The College -of Music . of Cincinnati" Mr. Thomas In his letter of acceptance says: This nrofect is a steo in the risht direction. and CluoHinatl Is the rlsrht place In which to begin.- We want concentration of professional talent, methodical training, such aq we have In other orancnes or euucaiion, ana a musicm atmosphere.

I am ready to begin all of this work: at one, and advise that the college be ooened daring the com inn autumn. Within a few days I anall forward to the board of directors a preliminary plan of the course of instruction desirable to oe aaopiea. The influence of such an institution will extend far beyond Cincinnati, and it is grat' ifying to see the west taking the lead in art enterprises. . , The Journal is unhappy over a vote given by Mr. oorhees -some niteen years ago against taxing whisky a second time in the hands of bona fide purchasers. If this vote was wrong, will the Journal please inform the public why a republican congress and a republican senate, by overwhelming maori ties, passed the law in that shape, and why Abraham'Lincoln-signed it? Is the Journal willing to have it understood that all the leaders of its own party were corrupt, including Mr. -Lincoln, in order to. make an assault on Mr. Voorhees? Were they controlled by mercenary motives, and did Mr. Lincoln approve the bill under im proper influences? The . truth is, the bill was one of the vefy few republican meas ures that was correct. The whisky then un der consideration . had . paid - one tax, and there is no principle of Just government which will justify taxing property a second time. If it can be taxed twice it can be taxed ut of existence. The Journal is net fortunate on this point ot attack. i Gekecax MAxso-f is canvassing the state in most gallant style, and his appointments brine out the people by thousands. The general speaks without notes, and as a con seqoenoe bis speeches have a freshness1 and vigor that a pile of manuscript to a very great extent destroys. Ceneral Manson's memory, ' exaet , as an encyclopedia, serves him well in the canvass,- and. no speaker -ot any party - in ,the state has a larger fund of facts of history ready for use n ihe nwtrum. In matters of finance, currency, debt and taxation. Generai Manson a meories nave a pracucal application, and from, bis conclusions there is absolutely no appeal. lie addresses his mas-. terly arguments to the people, who com pre hend their bearing and admit their force. and while adhering to the principles laid down in the democratic platform, his views upon greenbacks, national bank biHs, etc.,' so thoroughly . meet the views of the nationals, that .in some instances the leaders of that party hare advocated the abandonment of their .state ticket and going solid for the democratic. Batwbenarad ical organ makes a false charge against the gallant old general the whole state ovight to see him crush the life out of it In every speech the general makes there are flights of eloquence of the highest order. It k not surprising, therefore, that General Manson is a great favorite with the people or that his election is assured by an overwhelming maority. Ix hta opening upeech of the campaign, ft Routh Btnd. Henatur Voorbea MHertea wiUi much bellowing that there were "over 8,0uu,UM persons out of emploment in the United f UteH." rte had smce repeated the statement. The Journal add need facta to prove that it was not true, and that there were not to exceed about half a million persona in the eountry out of work who denlretl work, but the demonstration made no difference to Mr. Voorhees. ft never does to politicians of his clas Journui. , . The Journal never adduced any facts; K never gave any Lacti showing that thQorrny of idlers in the United Spates does not exceed ''half a million of persona,". As a matter of course, such staff as the Journal publishes, known to be radical lying to help the party along during the present campaign, makes no "difference to Mr.'Voor'hees'' or to anybody etee who has a thimble

full of brains Tb Journal, "has lbeen crazy as a loon tor' a long J time past.v Its Yiews upon finance impressed a large number of its f lends in Indiana, that so fax as it had any Influence at all, it was a dangerous sheet. That It was subsidized was generally believed, and now that the facts have -come to the surface, doubts disappear, and the milk in the coaconut is accounted for: ;f. ;.' ; " : - .' ; . The figures published by the Massachusetts bureau of statistics were cooked for the oor ctsion. They are not worth a cent as showing the condition of the laboring" people in

Massachusetts, and ' as a basis for - calculating the r,' 'number of idle people In the' country, 'a more contemptible cheat was never palmed off. The radical rascals who are running the rad ical machinery ' saw r very . distictly that something must be done to counteract the wide spread labor movement, and they, at once hit upon the scheme of showing that there are no labor ' troubles of any magnitude. " Massachusetts', being a radical Shylock state, and its '. ! officials ' radical Shylocks, . offered the best field for . figures to suit the campaign, and to help the radical party to retain power, and as a result ot guessing and lying predi cated upon a canvass that was never made in any proper sense, we are told that about 500,000 people are out of employment in this country. The Journal, in the largeness of its capacity to view the effects of a national calamity, first came to the conclusion that "there were not to exceed about half a mil'lion of persons in the country out of work who desired work.". Bat Mr. Vocrhees paid ' bo attention " to the Journal's estimates, and now comes - the , Mas sachusetts statistical bureau with figures which seem to have been gathered up by the Journal man, 60 nearly do they agree. Bnt it so happens that two frauds do not consti tute an honest transaction, and hence the Journal's estimate and the Massachusetts guess work are having precious little effect upon 'the minds of the people. The statement that there are 3,000,000 people out of employment in this country has been regarded by prudent men whose opinions are of recognized value, as below rather than above the real number. Senator Voorhees is not likely, as he discusses the great ques tions,' finance and industries, to take , his figures from the Journal. ' In no Instance has a Shylock organ ever told the truth when discussing the effects of the policy, of the radical party upon .the business bf the country, and as a consequence their utter ances are very generally discredited. f - ' O LttRD, IlOW LOStlJ; The rule of radicalism has surely had its day.' . All of its beauties have ' long since faded away, and even its eursea, it is now sanguinely hoped, have spent their strength of destruction upon the American people, It needs no argument to convince . the masses among the people that great wrongs are aftllctlng tbem. Tbey feel them in their store houses and in their barns. Tbey groan under them in their debts and mort gages and impending bankruptcies. They stand aghast and wonder why it is that they are crippled in trade, paralyzed in business. and driven to ihe wall as a nation of bank rupta, while ' living under the best govern'ment the light of the "son ever shone npon." They know that once they were hap py and 'proeperotts, and that the wolf poverty was not always at their doors. They remember the past, they see the preeent and dread the future as they would a coming storm. , The hour they see is a dark one: their hearts are discouraged. They see no rain bow in the sky, while muttering thunders of threatening dangers furnish the only music of their dismal march to the grave, where thousands of them are hastening un der the most heart rending circumstances of poverty and financial overthrow. It seems not- to matter, .to the government how many fall or how many perish. The ' masses are cot looked after, are not cared for, only as the fettered tax-payers of the rich bondholders, the all happy bankers, and for the support and rule of radicalism. . " ; f The American people are no longer sovereigns. . Tbey are only serfs. . Tax them, and they seem to 'take all such notices as a display of official confidence in their loyalty and patriotism. Make a ticket out for tbem and call it republican, and they vote it all straight, fully rattened in doing so that they are supporting the very essence of "God and morality." . Indeed,' it has seemed that nothing short of death or revolution would arouse the radical masses to a sense of the fact that they are and have been, by their voting, the main , props of this whole , destructive system of government We have hadoothlng like it in our past history. ' We have had panics, bankruptcies and general failures, but nover before anything like the present financial maelstrom. Not only have the brains of the American people been upturned in horrid confusion, but the whole syEtem of moral order has been demoralized and rendered almost totally ineffectual, so that our churches mourn over it, and ocr most pious and conservative ministers begin to see and feel the miserable state of affairs which has . been inaugurated, and which must ' now ' be " ' corrected and folly revised, nd something better and truer instituted in . the government of the people if we would have a restoration of our old time moral and civil prosperity. ' "The cry is, O Lord, have mercy! It comes from the mouths and bearta of the million. Like the wail of the sin-stricken, it goes up to the Ili&hest, that the evils of the day may not be continued; that a rule of mercy may be again given us sueh as our fathers inherited. IVe have bad contraction in the finances of the. government to the destruc(ion of nearly all of our manufacturing and commercial prosperity. We have had a false issue aimed at for the sole benefit of the rich, of '. coming to a gold basis in oar currency, which, has "killed the gobse that' laid the golden egg," and left nine-tenths of the American people without another egg or a golden dollar. , . The financial 'condition, of the country stands in the darkest contrast with the gifts ot rrovidence In the prodacli of the land, for the people go about the streets unem ployed and unable to earn their daily bread, 1 crying, O Lord, hpw long must we suffer? How long must we 'turn the grindstone of

slavery for the pleasure and wealth of our fraudulent and heartless rulers? -

But mystic and ' fear Jul as tb'j terrible Interrogatory is, It may, wj think, be answered, and we would say to the people the key that unlocks the door of relief is in your "own hands You are re sponsible yourselves for all this confusion. The dead dog lies at your own door, and if you like the smell, you 'can keep him there. Just continue to vote to keep the same raen in omce who nave by their administration brought all these evils upon the countrr, and you may rest assured that the cloud of financial death will still bang over you, and you will then be enabled to go on commit ting suicide and the like to escape disgrace and the infamy of bankruptcy and poverty until you are all numbered with the deal in their , graves. The choice is yours and the power is in your bands, and if you allow yourselves to be indifferent or permit a set of party cormorants to lead you to the polls and, vote you like Bheep driven to tbe slaughter, then be content to abide in your lot without a word of complaint or a whis per of corruption or of presumed wrongs. ' Nothing is more true than the fact that the American people are the guardians of their own rights and liberties, and if . they neglect them or leave them to be cared for by the rich tricksters, by the would be finan cial rulers of the country, or by the selfish and corrupt seekers after official places, the hot curses of a low and servile citizenship will be their only national patrimony.. Every citizen has a vote, and every good citizen can wield an influence that will help to save the country by placing good men in office, and since the party that has been In fower for the last sixteen years have bad ample time to demonstrate its governing power, and has failed to an extent .that ha-t well nigh ruined the country, let some new system be inaugurated and a nother class of Our countrymen be permitted to take the helm of affairs, and it may be that the old order of national prosperity will be restored agiln. Already we think the light is breaking, and hope comes to us that our land is to be redeemed again." We see that the clouds are clearing away 'and the sky. oyer us 'is becoming . " auspicious. . The -,- Lord . .will not be angry with us forever, llle will not leave us to perish, in the hands of a miserable cet of financial vampires, or give us away to the worse delinquency of a moral degeneracy that would end in our national ruin God forbid that we as a people should forget to be honest and truthful as well as patriotic, and if the last two decades have been years of confusion, years of fanaticicm and unhappy experiments in our national affairs, let . the. coming future show that we are capable of "the sober second thought," the high resolve, to be that people whose God is the Lord.' . . ,.. : ,. , THE NEXT HOUSE OF KEPKESEXTATIVES. ; The democratic party haViDg secured the United States senate after the 4th of March next, the struggle now, going forward Is for the control of the house during the Fortysixth congress. The subject brings into the boldest possible ' prominence the gigantic strides the democratic party has male in re gaining control - of congress . . during the past few years. . . Notwithstanding this steady " advance of the. demo cratic party in the confidence of the people, we are constantly informed by the organs of the radical party that the majority in the next house of representatives will be radical. The organs, however fail to tell where their majority is to come from. They do not like to descend to particulars, and they fail to state why their party should have such a majority. The most blatant of the radical sheets who profess ability to peer into the future do not hesitate to say that the south will re tarn a "solid democratic delegation." "In tho present 'congress," says the New York Express, "there was, on certificates of -election, a dem'ocratic majority of thirteen. . The political 'division of the southern delegation including Missouri and West Virginia is 'divided into ninety-three democrats and 'thirteen republicans. If this, delegation was solidly democratic, as it is admitted it 'will be in the ne:t congress, the majority 'in the present houss instead : of being 'thirteen would amount to thirty-nine. But 'it is "possible" that in Missouri, North and 'South Carolina the republicans will carry 'one district in each state. Deducting this. 'there would still be left a democratic ma jority to overcome of thirty-three. Where 'the republicans hope ' to make eafflclcnt 'changes in the north to overcome this ad'verse majority it Is difficult to imagine. ' In 'the western states there is no probability of 'their making any gains. On the contrary, 'Ohio, which now returns a delegation com' 'posed of eight democrats to twelve republicans, ts certain through the redistricting 'act of last winter to send eleven ' democrats 'to the next house, with even chances 'that that . number will be increased to 'thirteen. In Indiana and Illinois, and even 'in Iowa, the green backers have joined with 'the democrats on the congressional ticket 'to beat the republicans. If these promises 'are true, and accounts from those states 'leave no room to doubt their correctness, it 'drives the republicans to look for their gains 'in the eastern and middle states. "As far as the eastern states are concerned 'they could only make a gain of four, as that 'is the number of democrats from that seo'tion in the present house. Bat this is not 'enough, and as a last resort they must fall 'back on the middle states, composed of 30 'democrats to 37 republicans. ' Such a radical 'cliange as would give the required gains in 'this section of the country is beyond tbs 'range of pos&ibility. And it Is upon this 'condition of things that the republican jour'nals are figuring out a majority for their 'party in the next house. It may be, however, that they base their figures upon a Dig 'congressional campaign fund, that factor 'which the easy character of Hayes allows to 'be made a part and parcel of his ci vil service 'reform. But without considering - the 'potency of such a factor, it seems that the 'loyal organs are only whistling to keep up their courage." ." ; It will be admitted by all who are capable of grouping facta or of compwl.ending the signs ot the times, that the forces 'and factors that have been potential in rescuing the senate from a radical majority are equally powerful in their influcr.ee upon tho'

public mind to maintain a democrat majority in the bouse. t In the Forty-jurd congrass the. radical party had fifr members, counting one for Louislara, and the democrats but . twenty-three xx embers, while, in the Forty-sixth congress, co iceding the largest estimates made by their most Intelligent organs, the radical party can1 have but thirtyfour .' members, , while '. ths democrats , will have forty-four. In . the ' Forty-third congress the radical members "were equal to twenty-five states, while &e democratic vote represented but eleven. - In the Forty-sixth congress the democratic vote will represent twentv-two ' states and fie radical vote bnt seventeen t states. These 'facts . show the i-. drift . -i of ... the .. great , public mind; they indicate the pulse - beats of' the great 7 public heart; they' . tell in notes that ring , out clear as bugle blasts, that the people are tired of radical misrule, and tbey point unerringly to the fact that the next house of ' representatives, like the present, will be democratic, and that . the grand work of reform vlll go forward unchecked by a radical senate " '

THE AGE OF COH MOST SEKSE. : We read of all sorts of ages In the past from flint . to , iron,' from savage to the enlightened, from the patriarchal to the apostolic,' from the dark age to the full orbed noon of the present, which, if it is. not the age of steal, should be' known as that of common sense.' It is a practical and a utili tarian age.' It Is telescopic and microscopic. Distant objects are brought near, examined and analysed, their properties catalogued, and their purpose recorded. Little things re magnified until the hopping muscles of . a flea ' and the boring ' machinery of. an earwig. are seen in operation and - understood 1 ' as clearly as the simplest ; machine of , the , i day: The tendency is steadily towards the practical. Shams are being universally tabooed. The shoddy snob whose ambition ii a title of nobility because his old daddy "struck ile, or was one of Grant's. iets and made a heap of money while he was helping to make a "heap of . history, such as it is," and who clamors lor a "strong government," is yery properly set aside as a production fit only for a menagerie, to be caged with baboons. It is this growth of common sense that is making the people distrustful of the radical party. Its record is so vile, its thieving proclivities So undisguised, Its debaucheries so widespread, its frauds so "colossal, its forgeries ao numerous and its. lies and perjuries so black and damning that, like the dungeon toad, it exudes from the pores of its warty hide a poison that will prove its death. , The people look ' at the hideous creature, swollen with crime, dead in trespasses and , in sins, with gnawing trichina of infamy in all of its muscles and organs, serpents of .bate in its brain, lies festering in its soul, frauds' like tumors cov ering every square inch of its surface, nura ing its perjuries as Indian mountebanks play with cobras, by which they eke out an existence the people see the radical party in its haggard and hideous deformities, floating in the pool of its own slime, crippled by the kicks it has ' received , for its misdeeds, shackled by the righteous verdicts of truth,' its eyes gouged by tie fingers of scorn and its throat full of hisses and death rattles, and in the ' wealth of of their indignation they say "let it die." It deserves extermination, and another Dead sea in wh;ch neither fish nor reptile could live would be a fitiing , monument to its crimes.. The comram sense view of, the radical party is that there is no use for it on earth, whatever may be the opinion of the devil to the contrary. IT an inscrutable providence designed it for a scourge, then God knows it has ailed to the ' brim the measures of its mission, and. a common sense verdict is,, re move .it. 'J .Worse than Pharaoh's lean kine, it has devoured all the fat things of the land until on all sides there is poverty, bankruptcy, business prostration and ruin. It has proved to be' worse as curse than the seven plagues of Egypt, all told, frogs, murrain of beasts, locusts, darkness, hail, ltoe and flies, ' and the common sense of the people declares that the country has had enough of it. The peo pie, however, see. that, like Tbaraoh, the radical party is bent on farther ruin. It has tried fraud, forgery and perjury as a means of success, and no party is so capable of ly ing, no party is so handy with frauds, no party is so dexterous with forgeries, and its throat is a conduit for perjuries sufficiently large to damn the world. Common sense proclaims that suci a party, having played Judas, should hang itself or commit hari-xari and go ty the devil. ' Still this party demands anew lease of power. Fortunately this is an age of common sense, and the people are industriously hunting- for- the old paths, and demanding that the democratic party shall take the helm of state. . They are in esrnest in Indiana. The , Orths and Groses, Browns and Hannas, are not the men wanted in the councils of the government . An era of honesty and of reform is tj be inaugurated, and i the common sense verdict is that the democratic party in power is a supreme necessity.' ' , If there is ever an instance of poetic justice in the business woild. this looks line one of them. Of course Martlndale never cared to aid in staying tho storm of financial ruin which the republican party had raised, and which he was aidirg to urge onward, so long as It struck only l is neighbors, but now he has the biesxed experience of knowing how it in himself. Just now Martlndale is undoubtedly a wiser, out perhaps a sadder man. Toledo Bee. We regret that any of our cotemporaries should, even seemingly,, exult in the financial downfall of Jndge Martlndale. Words of sympathy are . more in consonance with his fallen fortunes. Wecnow, as does everybody else who ever read Judge Martindale's paper the Journal that under his sole proprietorship and supreme control, it has been one of the most pronounced and insane of the whole brood of bbyfock organs. It has raved daily at the democratic party for briogiog forward measures for the relief of business, and went so' far in its blind hostility to the silver bill and the bill to repeal the resumption Is was to declare that they were distinctive democratic measures gotten up for the express purpose of defeating the radical party. Not content with this, it raved for Hayes' veto to kill the measures should the representatives of the people pass the bills. The Journal never had a word of sympatbyjor the business men whom contraction and shrinkage

of values forced into bankruptcy. It saw the hundreds of men in its own state bereft of their business and of their property fail--Ingand going out into the world' poor. Still it urged on the damnable policy of tb . Shylocks until Indiana has " suffered in recorded failures more than $26,000,000, or nearly $300,000 for each county in the sUte and for the whole country nearly $2,000,000,000. . While this terrible havoc has been going forward, Judge Martindale's. paper advocated the policy that brought it about, and even now, in its unalloyed lunacy, seeks to Injure the bold and f defiant Voorhees, who did everything in his power to arrest the . widespread devastation. Notwithstanding sall' this we must " dissent from the apparently nnkind thrust of the Toledo Bee sting. - The financial curses that the radical party has set adrift in the country, and which the Journal has advocated, have not infected upon their victims "poetic justice'' nor any .other sort of justice, and in Judge Martindale's case we are inclined ' to let down the veil rather than lift it up,. for we are of the opinion that the distinguished radical journalist ' has been out of ', his head all the time.

A SPECIMEN OF THE WHOLE. One day last week the Journal nearly burst itself in an assault on what it is pleased to call Mr. Voorhees' record for' twenty years past The effort has fallen stilL ' born, and we are not disposed to assist in gwing life to it.' As a specimen, however, of : the lying capacities of the writer it is only necessary to go as far as the th'reshhold of the . article. . He states that Mr. Voorhees first appeared prdminently in state politics in the : democratic state .convention of ' January. : 1858, as a supporter of the Lecompton consti-. tution, and winds up on that point by say-t ing: .- '. ' He, as well as his pet pro-slavery constitution, were beaten In that year, I808. It was his nrat race for congress. . Mr. Voorhees was not 'a' candidate ' that year nor the next year. He was, however, a candidate in 18G0 as a supporter of .Douglas for the presidency, and beat Colonel Thomas IL Nelson 1,018 votes, with a bolting Breck -inridge candidate in the field, who received nearly four hundred votes. What credit is due to the statements of a. writer who commences ' his work with such brazen lying as this? It is a specimen of all that follows, and - there is nothing in the whole tirade which can not be exploded as. easily as this great big opening falsehood. - The desire of thin people is to be as plump as a partridge, and the one yearning desire of fat people is to be lean, lean as Pharaoh's ' kine. .To achieve these two results has kept tee two classes dieting and doctoring per-, petually ; to attain the happy mean has filled doctor's purses and built splendid drug stores.' And yet the world holds the same old average of fat and lean despite all the anxiety and aggravation of soul and body. Sometimes ' when the matter becomes one of health, the aid of a physician is right, and proper, and his advice should no- more be disregarded than in any other disease. But when it is only because to be too fat or too thin is not fashionable, when ' pride and' not health awakens the desire to change the bodily appearance, then the futile efforts become good subjects for ridicule. But the injudicious use of medicines advertised to convert scraggy beings Into pretty plump youthful looking . personages, or to so- reduce the superabundant flesh that corpulence and obesity may vanish, is to be deplored, for the results are often the most deadly in their effects. , It would be better to accept as an axiom that it is never best to take into the system drugs and medicines Of whose prop, erties you are not thoroughly advised, unless they are prescribed by a doctor, com-, petent to give such advice. In the case of a Chicago lady the Times of that city says: "Miss Latimer, a lady very widely known to 'the citizens of Chicago, died a few days ago from the effects, it way asserted, of poison taken in the form of anti fat medicine. Her 'physician states that although this alone 'was not the cause of her death, as she had 'for a long time suffered fsom sleeplereness,'which finally produced cerebral congestion, 'it is true that the anti-fat medicine, greatly 'aggravated her morbid tendencies and 'hastened the fatal climax. She was very 'corpulent, and was taking what was represented to be a harmless vegetable prepara'tion to' reduce flesh. The deadly dose 'proved to have been bromide po!son." It can not be questioned that the lady had no idea as to the character of the preparation she was using. Sbe believed that only beneficial results would follow, and yet it hastened if . it did not directly produce her death. The fleshy are ever attempting some remedy to relieve themselves of the burdensome weight with which nature has. endowed them, and success has rarely at tended these efforts unless they were directed by a skillful doctor. Banting's system of dieting, rather of starvation, has done 'soma good. But better than that is an avoidance of all food containing starch, such as, potatoes, beans, etc., and a rich diet of broiled or baked beef, fish, or the dark meat of fowl. Taken in connection with this course arevarious medicines known to the medical fraternity calculated to aid the stomach in rejecting the fat forming food, and assimilating that which produces blood, and bone and' muscle. At best there is danger in taking any step without consulting competent counsel, and if this can not be obtained remain as nature and good health made you. - John sbcruiiu'i SJyafasu Cincinnati Enqulrer.l There will be still further trouble at Toledo to-day when John Sherman endeavors to exFlain to the soft money republicans of that uture great city how the country is ranidlv drifting into prosperity and opulence under his benign administration of tbe finances. and how the resumption act is to become thesbeet-anchor 01 their future good fortune.
