LUCAS COUNTY Vine CONVENTION
We call the attention of the Wing voters
fthe county to the proceedings of this
body as published in our paper to-day, and
beg leave to add few remarks on the sub.
ject in continuation of those made last
week.
And first--let us see what sort of case
is made out by the officers of the Toledo
convention: or more properly, the conven-
ton Of the Toledoans.
Port Lawrence had 90 delegates; Syl.
vania 8; Waterville 1! Mr.. Shaw; Provi-
dence 9; Royalton Il Chesterfield 1;
Gorham |. Majority Of Port Lawrence II.
Oregon q
Such and SO many were the delegates
that rejoiced in the published name Of
REGULAR VINO COUNTY CONVENTION
Twenty delegates from PORT Lawrence
(Toledo) and nine from all the balance OF
Lucas county, Why the county is a
mere appendoge to the city of Toledo.
But there Is Oregon. Yes, Toledo found
two tools, not delegates, from that town,
and voted them seat as delegates !:
and rs that pussant city had majority Of
all the irregular" convention, they might
as well have voted in men from every other
town in the county, as they doubtless
would, had they found the proper nstru-
ments present. After the accession of the
two from Oregon, Port Lawrence had
clear majority of thirteen in the "regular"
Wing Convention of Lucas! Need enough
was there that regular" should be pla
ced al the head of such record. No one,
either as witness of its proceedings or rea.
der Of its record would have guessed out its
regularity. 1t is a repetition ofthe case of
the painter who having painted horse
that looked as much like almost any other
quadruped--wrote in large letters on tie
canvas--THIs is HORSE:
1t will be seen by comparing the account
ofthe whig county convention with the
"5egular" of the Blade, that Of five dele
gates from Waterville, one only, Mr.. Shaw
acted with the "regular"--the others, who
undoubtedly correctly represented their
town, and who being the majoity, constltu.
ted it's only rightful representation in the
matter, took part in the whig convention
OF the three delegates from Royalton, two
Joined the convention of their county
Whether the other took part in the conven-
ton of Toledo, the recorder of the "regu-
lar hath not disclosed. Atall events being
one of three he had no right to act against
the wishes of the other two.
We then have left for the Irregular con-
vention, out of sixteen townships organized
in the county;--Port Lawrence, Syvanla,
Providence, Chesterfield and Gorham--five
out of sixteen. With what a face can such
a meeting ask any impartial and honest
wing to view it In any other light than an
impudent attempt on the part of Toledo to
dictate to and control the whole county.
The county convention of which Mr..
Waite was Chairman made out full ticket
Of active, consistent and intelligent wings
to fill the various Offices. Not SO the con-
vention Of Toledo. 1t seems that even at
a meeting such as theirs of the 18th, the
whole game was not to be disclosed to thelr
country friends (for they have few such) \
who might no. all be willing to yield their
whig principles to such an amalgamation as
the interests of the spectators called for.
These spectators, would be whigs--exce-
lent whigs--when any thing was to be made
by it, but the moment profit is promised
by supporting loco for Office, their love of
country yields at once to love Of money.
Though somewhat out of place, it is pro-
per here to state, that when the qestion on
calling Judge Jerome to the chair was put
by Mr.. Scott all present appeared to vote
and the affirmative clearly had most voices.
A division and count was called for by the
other side, but was waived. When it is
considered that all the male inhabitants of
Toledo who could be brought together, had
on that vote voce--aye and loud voice
lit clearly showed the spirit and strength
ofthe delegates from the towns, and their ,
determination not to be controlled by the
of that city.
Since the above was written, the Toledo i
Blade Of the 21st has come to hand. Under ,
is editorial head, an aspirant for legislative
ionors, has by mixture of truth and falls
hoods made out such case for the conven-
tion of Tocdoansas lawyer of sanguine c
Temperament might possibly submit to Ju- q
ry. Buthis false statements and suppress c
sions Of truth will not avail him in tile con- {
