Just when the philosopher of the Tribune thought it all right, and issued his manuesto accepting the Cincinnati nomination behold another prop went from-un der him, and down again in the mud he goes. The Chicago Times has gone back on him, and now demands hin withdrawal because ne cannot unite the opposition. What a dam ormcr pnnfpssion for the sage -6& iv' Chappaqua to hear. And now Times thinks all hope centers upon Baltimore, and if that convention cannot nominate a man who will unite the opposition, the task of de feating Grant will be utterly hope less.

He dwelt largely on Democratic principles, and dis sected Greeley without gloves. regard to supporting him, he thought asking Democrats to accept and vote for him, would be about on a par with expecting Christians to deny their faith and worship Mahomet the Prophet God, at an hour'B no tice. He thinks that no man enjoys more the hostility and aversion the Democracy than he, and that man more unfit for the Presidency was ever mentioned; nor does believe that Greeley, if nominated. will get more than half of the Demo cratic votes. He evidently spoki the sentiment of his hearers. The Cincinnati Commercial getting sick of its allies.

The people of the United States constitute a na- L1UU. BUU nil V luvi j. The rebel Democratic element has had reason to know this, and hence this lusty opposition. Their con federates sympathized with them then, and now they join in their wailings. The government owes its existence to the fact that it waa and is a government of the people and for the people of the United States. Before Greeley conceived the idea that he had been neglected by the administration and therefore must ruin it if he could, his opinions of it were entitled to consideration, for he had no cause of enmity against it. Here is what he said of a President Grant then, Judge of how it comports with his utterances of late. If the principles which are embodied in the following extract from the Tribune of February, 1871, were ever correct, they are equally so to day; and no change of front by their enunyator can invalidate their truthfulness. Yet notwithstanding all here said, we find him at the head of the opposition to Republicanism to day, and ready to lead the hosts of Democracy to a National triumph if he can, which in his own language means a restoration to power of those who deserted their seats la Congress and their places under the last Democratic President, to plunge the country into the Red Sea of Se cession and rebelion? Read his con demnation ot himself: We Itce ucnerai urani; but we care far more for Republican ascen dencv than for any man's personal fortunes. It is in our view of great importance that the opposition shall be kept out of power, wliCe it is of comparatively small moment that A or B should tenant the White House For a Democratic national triumjh means a restoration to power of those who deserted their seats in Congress and their places under the last Demo cratic PrcsH to plunge the country in the Bed Sea of scccssion-and Rebellion Though you, paint an inch thick, to this complexion, you must come at last. The brain, the heart, the soul, of the present Democratic party is th rebel element at the South with Us Northern allies and sympalhysers. It is rebel at the core to-day, hardly able to reconcile the defeats of Lee, Johnson, Bragg, Hood and Price, and the consequent downful of its beloved Confederacy, with its tra ditional faith in Divine Providence. It would hail the election of a Dem ocratic President in 1S72 as a virtu al reversal of the Appomattox sur- sender. It would come into power with the hate, chagrin, the wrath and mortification of ten bitter years, to impel and guide its steps. It would devote itself to taking off or reducing tax after tax until the treasury was out of the means of paying interest on the national debt, and would hail the tidings of national bankruptcy with vnalloyed gladness and uncon cern. Whatever chastisement may be deserved by our national sins, we mutt hope that this disgrace and humilation will be spared us. Andy Johnson as a Seducer—Suicide of His Victim.

From New York Tribune of the 22d, EX-GOVERNOR DENNISON. A Tribune Reporter Interviews Ohio's Favorite the Vice Presidency. idency. as of no he is is The fact that many of the prom inent men arriving at the hotels in this city are in favor of the Liberal movement, and that the Administra tion leaders, when found, have gen erally declined to making their o in ion public, has perhaps caused this record of popular sentiment to seem partial and one-sided. In order to obtain an expression of unmistaka ble Administration sentiment, Tribune reporter made repeated ef forts and imally succeeded in hnd inir ex Governor Dennison, of Ohio, at the St Nicholas Hotel. His views on political topics are substantially as folloivs: He was not surprised at the nom ination of Mr. Greeley, and consid ered him the strongest of the can diiates presented to the Conven tion. At the same time he thought Mr. Greeley's friends greatly over estimated Mr.Greeley'sreal strength. In Central Ohio, the portion of the State with which he most familiar, he was of the opinion that the lib eral Republican movement had de veloped very little force, being con fined almost exclusively to the few quite reepeotable gentlemen who were delegates to Cincinnati. He thought ako that the popularity of Mr. Greeley was exaggerated at the South. He would secure the regu lar Democratic (oldSesession) vote, but ot Sat of the freedmen, and consequently would hardly carry a single Southern Mate, ine jjemu cratic vote might give him Maryland, Delaware and Kentucky, but this would be all. As an indication of the sentiment of the colored voters on the Cincinnati movement, Mr. Dennison spoke of a mass meeting of the colored voters of Columbus, Ohio, last week, at which the unan imous expression was in favor of General Grant and the straight Ke- publican party, as furnishing the ouly safety for their race. This frelinar would be shared by the ne- frroes of the entire country, North and houth. and lor tne pesi oi reasons. In relation to action of the Phila delphia Convention, Mr. Dennison said: "I regard General Grant as the strongest candidate that can be nominated at Philadelphia. 1 be lieve that his administration is re garded by the Republican party, in all of the essentials, as a sucessful one. He has faithfully redeemed every pledge he has given to the Re publican party and the country, and while any respectable gentleman having the confidence of the party, if nominated by the Convention, would be elected, I believe General Grant will command a vote as large as, or larger than any other person who couid be nominated. At the same time I say of General Grant, as of any other nominee, that 1 con sider the party stronger than any man. I believe that the public judg ment and conscience unite in recog nizing the fact that the continuance of the Republican party is indis pensable to the well being of the Republic. I believe this as well affimatively, because of the good it will accomplish by remaining in power, as negatively, because of the evil it will prevent by keeping the Democratic party out of power in any form, or under any guise. My judgment is that the election of Mr. Greeley, as the joint candidate of the Liberal Republicans and Democrats, will be a virtual restora tion of the Democratic party to the control oi tne government, t or tne purposes of the present canvass I regard it as immaterial whether the Baltimore Convention accepts or re jects Mr. Greeley, because in my opinion, the Republican party has a well denned majority m enough'of the States to secure the election of the nominees of the Philadelphia Convention, but, looking into the future, I should regard a union of liberal Republicans and the Demo cratic party as pregnant with mis chief to the country, as such a union might constitute the basis of a new party organization, in which the Democratic party, from its superior numbers, would have and exercise absolute control. While this larger element might consent to give prom inent positions to the more espceial representatives ot the Liberal ele ment, the power to control these functionaries would necessarily be in the larger section of the new par ty, namely, the Democratic, and they would therefore be compelled to obey the demands and politics of the Democratic portion, just as the Northern representatives of the old Democratic party were compelled to obey the demands of the slave power the controlling element or the par ty. Thus would be witnessed the practical restoration of the Demo cratic party to power in the Govern ment, and, in my judgment-, such a restoration would be more mischiev ous to the country than would be the restoration of the Democratic party pure and simple, as in the lat ter case the people would be more vigilant to detect its wrong designs than if the nominal head of the party were one who had enioyed the con fidence of the loyal people of the country. So that if this view is cor rect, and Mr. Greely should be elect ed President, U would little matter how pure or patriotic his motives or purposes might be, his acts, being controlled v the Democratic or dis loyal element, would accord with its demands, and the country, while quietly reposing on its confidence in JUT. Greeley, would find itself be trayed by the power that controlled mm. l uo not ueiieve mere is any penect satety to the Kepubiic with out the total dissolution of the Dem ocraiic party as a party orsianiza tion; and I cannot regard him as a friend to the country, however pure and patriotic he may believe his mo tives to be, who will aid to restore the Democratic party to power, wnetner in its independent organi zation or as a controlling part of new party." The First Vote Under the Boesel Law. The first Tots upon the question of Railroad aid unaer tne ttoeaei lmw, occurred m Allon county on Saturday. At Lima, the pronoii- tion was to aid the Lake Erie & Louisville and the Lima, Lafayette & Mississippi Roads with $50,000 each. The result was seven hun dred for and 8 ajfainst the proposition. In Blufiton and Bichland townships, the vote stood 340 in favor of the subscription to the Lake Erie & Louisville Road and 32 against it. The Lake Erie & LovisviUe Road will now be pushed forward without delay. The Pres ident of the Company, L. Q.

This will give a complete Road from Fremont, Ohio, to Rushville Iud., and which point it will have Louisville and Indianapolis connec tion. How to Thwart the Potato Bug. A correspondent of the Gardners' Monthly writes. I have watched their habits closely iu three different States, and as they will soon be npon yon, a few remarks msy not be out of place; for if you are as ready to receive them as we now are, they need not be greatly dreaded af ter all. They love some kinds much better than others, as for instance they prefer the early York to the early Rose, and wiU leave the Teach Blow to the last. Plant early,' and you can give your potatoes a good start before bugs got over their-spring stupor. Plant early kinds, for there are throe dis tinct crops of bugs, and generally they come ia counUcss numbers to take the latest kinds. Had pick, If not very bad. See if there are many of the lady bng or lady bird, as it is sometimes called. If they are plenty, they wiU take care of your potatoes for you. They are a little red bug with dark spots, and eat their eggs most voraciously. If necessary to nse other means, take one pound of Paris green to thirty pounds of common plaster and mix thoroughly, and apply when the dew is on, and you will slaughter them by hundreds of thousands. The plaster is good for your pota toes and you don't get green enough to hurt anything. Apply as often as the vines need it, and you need have no fears as to the result I have saved acres of potatoes this summer by recommending this plan in oar village paper. When the bugs come, plant as little ground as possiblo, enrich it highly and use ashes and salt to counteract any tendency to rot, and then you may laugh at the "destrucUon that wasteth at noonday."

There are nearly three hundred Republican papers published in New York,but of all these only four expouse the cause of Greeley. What a hold he has upon the people.

Speaker Blaine was last week treated by hi s constituents of the third Maine district to the deserved compliment of a renomination to Congress from that district.

On Friday in New York, Gardner, an Ala- bamian, brother-in-law of Vanderbilt, display. ed his chivalry in the shooting line by putting pistol balls into an officer and into a citizen, and on Saturday night at Marylander, son of ex-Governor Lowe of that state, exhibited his chivalry by Bhooting three men. Young Lowe escaped but was finally arrested. This same young shootist shot a colored man last Febrn ary, and he used the same pistol on both occa sions. Lowe is twenty-two years old and is employed in a banking house in New York. A little wholesome State Prison discipline would be of service to these "blooded" gontle- men. The Troy Times in commenting upon the two prominent candidates for the Presidency, compares them m this manner : Grant is not in the habit of running wild after speculative crotchets. Greeley is peculiarly given to such follies. Grant is practical. Greeley is theo retical. Grant is tolerant Greeley is intol erant Grant trasts absolutely those whom he knows to be trustworthy. Greeley is being victimized by sharpers. Grant is reserved. Greeley is talkative. Grant is resolute. Gree ley is Tascillating. Grant reflects before he acts' Greeley is moved by impulse. Grant is modest in the expression of his opinions. Greeley deems everybody a fool who does not accept his frequent vagaries as the products a profound philosophy. The people will approve Congross for carry ing out the President's earnest recommenda tions in regard to amnesty. By the act which has paesed both Houses and been siguod the President, all political disabilities imposed by the third section of the Fourteenth Amend ment to the Constitution of the United States, are removed from all persons whomsoever, ex cept Senators and Representatives of the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Congresses; officers in the judicial, military, and naval service; heads of departments, and foreign minis ters. Persons included in these exceptions are simply excluded from holding officers of emol umenE or public trust, but not prevented from exercising the right of suff rage. A bill is now pending in the Senate of the United States, looking to the establishment industrial schools for the orphans of soldiers and sailors. It is of the simplest possible form and is confined to creating a "body politic and corporate," with power to hold property and transact business. Gen. A. E. Bumside is the leading incorporator; the other names are un familiar. The work is an excellent one, and as it does not involve the slightest oxpense the country' it ought to pass.

The free traders are giving a practical turn to their chagrin and resentment at being sold out by the Greeley nomination at Cincinnati A call a out in the new lork papers lor free trade meeting in Steiuway Hall, on the 30th inst, at which William C. Bryant will preside and addresses will be delivered by Da vid A. Wells, Edward Atkinson and other champion free traders on the political situa tion. The meeting evidently means treason to Greeley. It is intended to organize a free trade revolt against his high protectionizm. The call intimates as much. It stigmatizes the reference of tariff reform to the Congres sional districts as a trick, an "evasion of the issue," which has absolved free traders from all obligation to support the Cincinuati ticket and left them free to go for whom they please. The success of the eight hour movement New York, is likely to be followed by conse quences that may react with unexpected effect. The concession to the demands of the work men is in effect an advance of twenty per cent in their wages for which contractors were prepared. It will necessarily increase tho cost of building, and contractors who have their hands full of agreements, based upon the old order of things, will be heavy losers, if not utterly ruined. The increased cost of building will add largely to rents, and as they are al ready too high, the Nation thinks the effect will be to drive thousands to the country, and to the villages up the North and East Rivers. Boss builders will hesitate about taking con tract, for fear of other strikes, and business may become paralysed. This fear actuated the capitalist and boss builders in Chicago refuse the project or contract for new build ings, because of an expected strike of a simi lar character. The workmen had advertised they would parade on a certain day and show their strength. They did parade, but not in as great strength as expected, and after listen ing, to a ipeech from Mayor Mertill dispersed, TLey returned to their work and are still working ten hours, but confidence is not fully restored, and the rebuilding of Chicago does not progress as rapidly as it otherwise womld. Forty-two Vessels Wrecked While Seal Fishing off Newfoundland— Four thousand Lives Imperiled Thereby. Kiw Yobk. Mav 27th. Captain AUston of the Retriever, a steamer lost during the terri ble storms wtucn prevailed aanng uo New foundland seal fishery, this spring, reports the total wreck of forty-two vessels, including sev eral steamships. The number of lives lm per iled by these disasters amounts w nearly lour thousand, of whichtvery few have yet been ac counted for. The Timet to-morrow WiU pubhsn tne par ticulars ot the lose of vessels off the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland during a sealing voyage, this Bpring. Up to the latest possible mail date, over fortv vessels, including four steamshirts. had been heard rrom as total wrecks, having been dashed to- pieces while amid huge icebergs aad plains of ice during a temno hurricane. Un an average, eacn oi those vessels carried about one hundred men, who were employed as seal hunters, and out of these four thousand human souls only one hundred and seventy-five have been accounted for. The large majority of these unfortunates have left families behind, exclusively depend ent on hem for sustenance. uunnK tne uieui ox tne loss oi tne sieuui- ship Retriever, on board of which vessel was Captain Allston, who furnishes the shocking intelligence, sixteen sail vessels were hem med in by high boulders and bergs of ice, over which tremendous seas dashed high and wild, so that it was impossible at times to discern the icy islands, and charge alter charge oi tne ungovernable Bhips against these mighty barriers soon cleft the boughs and bulwarks assunder, and consigned many brave forms and brave hearts to watery graves, vtmie this fleet lay to as a last effort to survive the wild northwestern hurricane that roared ana ruled around them, many tossing crafts out down each other, and one fearful instance is recorded wherein a vessel driven on an ice berg by a huge sea fell back with a mighty crash upon a brig, the Twin Sistere, which lay beneath the berg. A large numoer oi men were instantly crushed to death, and the Twin Sisters literally burst in two. The rest, only fifteen out of niuety-eight, clung to broken spars, and were by chance picked up by the orew of the Retriever. Toward morning, the hurricane, which had raced aU night without abating, heron to subside. In the light of that dreary dawn, the scene which presented itself to those on board the only survivor of the fleet of sixteen, the Retriever, cannot possi bly be described inasmuch as ene who had wit nessed the sight shrinks hopelessly from the task of explaining tne horror ana gnastiiness. The ice had wedged in the space intervening between the position oi the vessels and the shore. Upon rudelv heaped boulders and cakes of ice were strewn masts, yards, rigging, clothing and broken hulls in the wildest dis order. Worse still, there were blood smeared corpseB crushed to death by masses of ice clo sing in ou them. Some were actually cut in two by the powerful jamming of the floes, and others, half drowned and exhausted, died from intense frost The sUnened bodies lay strewn around in most ghastly attitudes, while many of them could hardly be recognized, they bad bees so mangled. The consequence of this wholesale ruin to the seal hunting fleet of Newfoundland will steep that country again in the poverty and misery from which it has but recently arisen. The dreary news of so many wrecks, and the long catalogue of dead, spreads desolation over the island, and has visited many a home with bittor grief and wild despair. But, says Captain Allston, the whple has not yet been told. Hundreds of the fleet are stiU to be heard from, and their fata mav be even as gloomy as that of the forty- two vessels of which this account is presented. ef by of to a in Sitm &pertiflttnent3.

A WORD IN REGARD TO THE Sewing Machine Business. is THE SEWING MACHINE is one of the greatest improvements of the age, and at this day and age of the world every family most and will have one. This fact appears to be perfectly understood by all Sewing Machine Companies, consequently every company is making every effort in their power to put their machines forward, and to make sales as rapidly as possible. They employ every per son they can get, and three-fourths of those employed are not fit for the business, conse quently the country is now overrun with men and boys representing themselves as Sewing Machine Agents,and everyone claiming to have the best machine, when, in fact, they know nothing about machines, consequently the basinets has become a nuisance it is over done and overrun with unprincipled agents, and almost every farmer dreads to see one stop at his gate. But to lay all prejudice aside, the Aew Wil son is the only first-class Machine in America that is sold at a reasonable price; a price with in the reach of every family. The New Wil son stands to-day at the head as being the best, the simplest, the easiest to manage, the most durable, and by far the cheapest. The Wilson now costs f i 00 more to manufacture than any other machine in America, and is sold for f 2-3.00 less than any other first-class machine. This sim)ly because it is not in the "Com bination." This machine is sold for just what it is worth, while all others are sold from $23.00 to f 50.00 more than they are worth. The undersigned has been selling the Wil son for one year at his Grocery and Crockery Store in Fremont, and has sold Five Hundred Machines, and nearly all hive h-n sold in Sandusky County, and I have never yet had an agent out soliciting sales or boring the peo ple to buy. Every machine has been ordered. This, I think, is the largest sale tnat nas ever bsen made in the county. This fact of itself is certainly sufficient evidence that the ma china is a good one. All other companies have drummed and bored the people nearly to death to sell their maahines, and in very many instances people have bought simply to get rid of the agent- Now, we claim that the proper way, and the only way, to buy a machine, is to go town and tee and try all the machines and select foT yourself buy a machine in the same way that you buy a dress, or a set of dishes, or a dollar's worth of sugar.
