has already arrived, aud procrasliualon j. oui Of
thequesIion. Thequestion must be decidrdai the
next session Of the Legislature, and people have
but one chance Of being heard. lf the Locolo. /
COS should carry the next Legislature, We may
expect that an ApporionmenI Act similar 10 those
heretofore enacted by that parry will BE- passed.
No man can estimate what the consequences Of
such an act would be. The reelection Of vii.
liam Allen to the United States Senate would be
one Of the consequences. That, though an in
delble stigma upon the intelligence Of the peo.
pie Of Ohio, would be light as air,--but drop
in the buckeI,--compare with the drefuI conse-
quences that will develop themselves in the leg.
isaIion Of our State.
Freemen of CARROLL The battle for the as.
tendency in the next Legislature must be fought
east Of the Muskingum river. The counties Of
Morgan, Guernsey, Belmont, Harrison, jefferson,
Carroll, Tuscarawas, Portage, Trumbull, Medi.
ma. aud Lorain must decide the complexion Of
the next Legislature. These counties are so
closely contested that the absence Of one hun.
dred Wings from the polls would change The re-
suit in either Of them, and in several Of them ii
would not require one-half Of that number
/ How important is it, then, that the Wings attend
the election. How important, that they strain ev-
cry nerve 10 carry these counties. The counties
arc all Wing, but 10 make the result certain eve.
ry Wing must be at his post. If such is the
case at the coming election we have no fears for
the result. The Wings will secure an ascenden.
cy in the LegsIature,-u fair ApPOrlionment Act
will be pussed,--and the State legislation con.
tinue in its present stable and conservative chan.
mel. Reverse the picture, and we will again ex-
pericnce the withering influences of Locoloco
legislation, carrying ruin and destruction into ev.
cry branch of our State Government, and sap.
ping our free institutions.
Wings of Carroll! Are you prepared for the

cation completed But few weeks now remains
TO put yourself in readiness. You have hereto.
fore done much 10 rescue ourbeloyed State from
the lhraldom of Locolocosm. Your aid is now
required TO keep her free from the snares tha,

be withhedl Shall il be said that detection on
I the part of the Wings of Carroll, again threw
the State into the meshes of Locolocoisml Shall
it be said that the glorious little band that stood

: Forbid it ye fathers who are touering on youl
slaves, to deposit perhaps your last votel FORBID
it ye men who are enjoying the strength of vigor.

lives are yet uncloundcd by sorrow,--whose
hopes are still buoyant, and whose dreams are

Every man uponit are well qualified TO fill the of
fees for which they are candidates. In poin

opponents; and their private characters are un
