A Model Republican. - Some of the treet-coruer orators of the Republican party n this city are veiy loud in their denunciaions of Tilden and the whole Democratie party. No epithets are too severe to be em)loyed agaiust the Democracy, which, in their stimatiou, is nothing but a company of traitors and rebels. Among the most rampant of these fanática is Richard Glazier, who is busy in telling how he Republican party saved the Union and the Constitution. Everybody acquainted with ïlazier knows that he is a gentleman of cul.uje and of great Information, but if he does not refresh his memory, he may lose a little of his reputatiou as a political leader. We thereore cali his attention to meeting he originated in January, 1861, the cali for which was headed : " No Union With Slaveholde-rs, lehgiously or Politically ! " This meeting was held Jan. 26, 1861, in .the Free Church, Aun Arbor, and was broken up by a mob beause of its disuuion sentiments, and we beïeve that R. Gr. was let out of a window. When the draft came on the loyal Glazier leaded to be excueed upon the ground that he belouged to the Society of Friends. This same Glazier is now telling how he and Grant saved the Union when the Democratie party was trying to break ït up. He attempted to address a "truly loyal" meeting at Lima Center ast week, but could only reinember the first ;hroe liues of hie speech, and hs a consequence he meeting had to adjourn. Now we do not want anybody to imagina that Glazier s not " truly loyal," or that he is a fanatic, or a lunatic. Such a conclusión would be a conxadiction of the above fact3. An Outagegeous Attack. - The Register, n its issue of this week, soils its columns by making a vile and outrageous attack upou the eligious opinions of the Democratie candidate for Judge of Probate. That paper kuows' and the citizens of this cpuuty know, the honsty and integrity of that gentlemau's characer. We notice the attack simply to denounce t as a vioiation of the proprieties and amenir .les of honorable journalism, and not to deend a gentleman who needs uo defense. We .0 not propose to denle our columns with any uch disgraceful matter. If the Register does, t can iniorm its readers that not long ago all ts editors were skeptics and aetheists. Itmay nlighten them as to the religious beliet ot one of its candidates on the Republican couuty icket. It may also inform them that its canlidate for Sheriff is Jacob H. Martin, is a mze-wrestler, and reputed keeper of a faro bank. That is a kind of dirty work which may suit the Register, but of which the Argus washes its hands completely. Univeiujity Hospital. - The new State ïospital connected with the Uuiversity is now ready for the reception of patients. There are male and female wards, entirely new, and fitted up with all the necessary improvements. tfedical and surgical services to the patients are faithfully and giatuitously rendered by the Faculty of the College, the only charges being for board and lor expeusive apparatus and apiliances when such are required. Medical, Surgical, and Opthalmic Cliuics, gratuitous to patients, will be held at the College on each Saturday until the last of Maren. Clinical mtieuts, especiaíly medical cases, must be at ;he College promptly by 9 o'clock A. M. The Faculty and studeuts of the College will be under obligatious to members of the medical jrofession and others who may direct caseB ot uteiesttothe Hospital or Clinic. Any further informatiou respecting either may be obtained by addressing A. B. Palmer, M. D. Dean of Faculty. Low Perbonalities- Hayes said he hoped this campaign would be cariied on without resorting to personalities ; but of all specimens 01 meanness in politics the Register of this week has reaorted to the lowest. lts attack on Hon. VV. D. Hurriman simply because he does not beheve in a certain wuy is too low for the lowest. A man s religión is his own, and certaiDly he ought to be allowed to enjoy it in quiet, especially wheu he has as little as Harriman or auy of " the star combina tiou troupe." One thing is certain, if any of the Register people ever reach heaven, after writing those articleb and before deep repentence for so doing, t will ouly be by laymg down pennies in close successiou, and then they may blindy follow along to piek them up. Proseribing a man of worth and htuess lor religious opiuïous partuku tbo much of the dark ages ; and auy man or set of men who will resort to it ought to be hooted from decent society. Justice and good tuste deniand that another injuuctiou, isauing trom the court of an iudignant public, should be put upon that insti. tution. Safe. -It is safe to say that no better Saleratus eau be made than D B. DuLand & Jo.'s Best Chemical, Besides, it is tull weight, and that is more thau eau be said of some orands of Saleratui,
