The Popular Vote System.
To THE DEMOCRACY OF THE COUNTY
OF PUTNAM:

The September Convention, in adopting the
popular vote system for Putnam County, made i
she dsiy Of tho Central Committee to decide upon
The time when that vote should bs taken. As diff.
fsrenees Of opinion in regard to the proper time,
were found to exist among Ihose known to be
sound and efficient Democrats, the Commiisee
have endeavored TO gather the sense OF the Dem.
csrsey Of the County upon the question. One
part held that the Spring elections would be the
mos, fttime for taking this vote. The other, and
the majority consulted, held that period nearer
to the time Of the fall elections would bo more
safe and seryieeable to the interest of the party
With this last view the Committee concur. and
now present the principal reasons which have de-
tsfmined this conclusion:
I. That BY holding a regular election and a
nominating poll at tho same time, attention be.
ing divided between two objects, either or both
would be in danger of being neglected, and con-
fusion would be the consequence.
.. Tint it is impolitck to intormix the local
and township matters, decided at the spring elec-
sions, with tho state and county questions to be
decided in the fall contest.
>. That the too early nomination of public SER
wants by the party would prolong political aaita.
ten throughout neurl the whole year, and create
when energy and efficient activity were most me-
sessary, lassitude, exhaustion and lukewarmness
IN the support Of the nominees Of the Democracy;
while i, would givs our opponon, ample time to
fonent differences and divisions in our ranks =
an opportunity of which, past experience proves,
they would but too readily avail themselves.
Z. That in the spring the public mind has here
isfore been otherwise occupied, and would not
be- brought to bear with the same inte rest on the
dseinon. ns a. the usual and legitimate time for
party action. sls frsH as sees
6. Thatin the counties of Franklin, Richland
Tmmbull, Stark, Fairfield and Coumbiana--the
snly counties ia the State in which the popular
vote system Of Conventions is known by the Com
mi.tse to 90 neutrality-suspicious. has in no
ease led the Democratic party to adop, the period
ofihs Spring elections for taking the vote of the
Democracy on the fall nominaiions and in oil of
thsss counties their returns exhbi. full attend
sncs at the nominating polls.
These reasons have boen deemed su ffieent TO
Justify the Committee in choosing the usual time
for holding conventions as their rule, and will
there is ne doubt, be satisfactory to oil who de-
sire the success Of the party. ,..,,'.,.-

Mr.. Sloan, of GAINESVILLE, after having suf

cured by using the Hebrew Plaster.
Mr.. Anderson, of Putnam, was troubled
for long time with lame back, occnsioned
by overlifiing, and was cured by using this
plaster.
A man (name not recollected,) of Gratiot,
in Licking county, was entirely cured OF
Rhuma.ism by using this plaster.
The following certificate from Mr.. Wor-
stell, editor of the Massllon Gazette, was
furnished us few days since:
Messrs. Comstock g. Co. During last win
ter and Spring, was so troubled with pain
in my breast, as to render me unfit for the
