GlDDlNG'S ELEC TON. This arch traitor has
been returned 10 Congress, by manrity of some 30OO
His minority in 1910, near e0OO, yet the Wing
organ Ofhis county claims Giddmgss election as n
whg victory. Well he's welcome to all the glory II
the wings as patty glory IN returning man to Con-
gress, who virtually expelled for his rank traitor
GUS doctnnes-lflhpy boast orre eectrnS who
presented petition to dissolve this glorious Union
hen only confirms our suspicious that there are tra
tors to our country, and it behOves every republi>
can 10 TO on tho ALERT to watch their movements, for
you know not how soon some traitor may apply the
torch to your political edfce aud reduce it to ashes
What say you Wings of fTu.carawasl Do you endorse
the boast of your organ, that the election of Gddnss
traitor is overwhelming triumph No, 1t would
be an aspersion your patriotism TO suppose ID
foul blot SANDER only worthy the drunken and de-
based mind that first conceived it.
But it is said the Democrats supported and voted for
GIddings Let u.s. see how true this assertion is. Al
Democratic Convention held in Giddngs' district
the l6h April, among others were passed The follow
ing strong resolutions: See how they repudiae the
idea fsupporting him:
Re'Otoed, That vigilance and action are due from
every democrat, in the coming contest, to Mr. Edwards
for his firm and unYieding support Of democratic
princples-for his eminent qualifications to discharge
:he dules Of tie office for which he is placed in nomi-
nation. and for his love of truth aud integrity that it
is due to the great in which engaged and
to ourselves; that by it and by it alone, we Tepel
the foul slander attempted 10 be fixed upon the demo.
cracy Of this District by Mr. Gidliugs and bis friends
that his conduct is approved by aApartes."
ResOt0ed That tie democracy of this district will
cheerluy face the five thousand six hundred majority
given Mr.. G. in l640 rel ing upon the purity of our
principles for our ultimate triumph
ReSOLUed, That the errors of others but poor re-
cOmmendatlon for any man TO pulic favor and that
the attempt of Mr. G. and his friends to place the
coming contest upon the proety the House of Re-
Lresentayes, solely to divert the attention ohis
suens irem its true merit as man aud politician.
Again. At a meeting OF the Democrats ofAshtabula
county held on the 18th April the following resolutions
were passed,
ResOtUed That we cannot approve of the conduct of
Joshua r. Gddings, late Representative from this the
10Th Congressional district Of OLo since he has been
member of said House of Representatives for the fol-
lowing among other reasons: lst His voting with the
immortal six against supplies for the defence of the
north eastern boundary I'd His inermnabe and sec.
tona war upon the SOUTH on all fitting and uniting
occasions. 8 encouraging and presenting petition
to dissolve the union, which said petition having been
very properly treated with silent contempt he the SAID
Giddngs, a few DAYS thereafter offered certain III timed
and uncalIed for resolutions, calculated TO impede the
progress ofour negociaions with England he using The
British argument 4h. His voting 10 give away the
land revenue TO the several states or he purpose of in
terna Improvement and voting 10 supply the defCien-
cy in the national ravenue by tax on Tea and coffee
and other necessaries of life. His charging and res
ceving travel fees from Ashtahua county to Washing
ton city, in amount nearly double what is warranted by
law.
Resoloed That the Democracy of this county will
support for representative to Congress who a
gitates and proposes to dissolve the Union who en-
barasses negpciaon and thwas Legislation by imprac.
cable meddlng for the purpose gaining infamous
torety
ResOloed, That we go for the Union, the whole
union we believe the north is necessary 10 the south
and the south 10 the norh is also the east TO the
West and the West to :he East.
The reason he fell short Of his former minority, was
because many wings, like the democrats would not vote
for traitor to his county Yet The Federal Advocate
says it's an Overwhelming whg triumph, and democra
