what Constitutes Whigscry.

4 The Ohio State journal Of the 29th ul,
in speaking Of Mr.. l.. ID. Campbell, one o
the deleg ales TO the Slaughter house Con-
venlion, who refused to support Gen
Taylor, says:
"Is there not evidence that in ceasine

"Havtng abandoned the wing party
and declared his e,ermination not Ia

ceeds, apparently with total unconscious
ness of i,s applicability to himself; to de
munsttate the beauties of the position in

Making Merry with Misfortune.

The New Orleans Bulletin, a Taylor
paper, thus goodnaturedly acknowledges
the desertion from the ranks of whiggery,
and from the support Of its nominee:
"The present position of the Taylor
party reminds us of q story We once heard
of farmer, Who one morning let his sheep

bars, the old man stood by to count them

nominees.

No man can tell what are the views Of Gen.
Taylor upon one single subject. On the
Wilmot proviso he is an extensive slave hold
er; on the rivers and harbors, he is not any
where: on the Tariff, he has not said anything
| by which you can say he is for or against it;
and such is his position upon everv subject,
except, he is in FAVOR of the VETO in
cases of violation of the constitution, or want
Of CO. sideraticn Of Congress upon matters.
Well when did ever any President use the
veto in any other cases than the ones spoken
ofbv Taylor! When Federalist tells YOU
that Gen. Taylor is pie dyed not to use the
veto, ask him to point ont the place wherein
he is pledged IF he tells you that Taylor is
in favor of the Wilmot proviso, ask him how
he knows, for the old General has $50 slaves
on hand! Ifhe tell 8 you Taylor is in favor
of Improving Rivers and Harbors, ask him to
show you the proof ofhis assertions! Believe
not the words of those who LIED without
restrictions in 1910 for they will lie aga in,
aud all that they need to prove themselves
liars is to give them the same chance they
had in that memorable year.
Remember, the charges brought against the
Democratic party IN 1910, and tell that same
old Coon party that you cannot believe any,
thing they say unless they bring the proof.
Remember, that the Coon party in 1910
told You Of the extravagance of the Democ
racy: that the Democrats had exrendd so
many dollars for French bedsteads, gold
spoons, &C., and as soon as they elected Gen.
Harrison, they had TO appropriate $4,000 to
furnish that slready richly furnished house.
Forget mol one promise which the Wings
made, but mark one that was fulfilled if you
can.
Remember, that the same old federal party
that existed in 1910, we mean the leaders, are
still in existance, clothed with the same false
issues and promises ii then was, and needs
only the same power to prove the TACT.
The old Gold spoons were not good enough
for the Wing party, but they must have new
ones, and will probably want q better white
house should they succeed this time. Mark
the falsehoods of the papers and speakers of
that party, and let them know that You re
member few of their acts and promises; and
that you esnno. be gulled by their empt,
promises.

Mexico, will read Col Wynkoop's remarks
published on the first side of our paper they

AND REPRESEN TIVE
CONVENTIONS.

On Tuesday the 22d instant the Democracy
of Seneca, Hancock and Wyandot, in dele
gates assembled in Convention in McCntch-
envle, and organized by calling Edison Colt
of Hancock to the chair and choosing A.
McEvan, of Wyandot and Joseph McClel~
land, of Seneca, Vice Presidents, and VIM.
| Mungen, of Hancock, Spencer st. John and
W., II. Giles, of Wyandot, Secretaries. The
Convention then adjourned till one o'clock, P
M.
After dinner the Convention reassembled
and proceeded to ballotting for candidate
for Senator; and after the 10Th ballotting Joel
w. Wilson, Esqr, of Tillin was declared
unanimously nominated. Mr.. Wilson being
loudly called for, returned his thanks, and
pledged himself to carry out the will of his
constituents, after which three hearty cheers
we're gwen, and the convention adjourned.

to the best of his ability. Three long and

The citizens of Wyandot county will re-

GEN. CASS AND THE NEW TERRI
TORY.

The Wings argree that Gen. Cass is op
posed to Congress legis'nting on the snhiect
Of slavery in newly acquired territory: That he
is in favor Of extending slavery, and that ter
riorv as il comes into onr Union must come
in free Well admitting the first and third
proposition to he true, that Cass is opnosed to
Congress legislating on the question Of slave
rv, and that all new territory must come into
our Union free, then we admit that Gen. Cass
is opposed to the extension Of slavery; for
without special act Of Congress establishing
slavery in new territory it cannot exist and
this say thew, Cass is opposed to. How men
wishing to be honest. can make anv other as
sertion. than the one, that Cass IS decidedly
against the extension Of slavery is more than
we are able to tell. Why even the very ad
mission, that Gen, Cass is opposed to Con
gress enacting any law upon the SUBJECT. is
sufficiently satisfactory to every honest mind,
that he is not and cannot 60 for the extension
of slavery.

wHIG MASS CONVENTIONS.

/ q
The Wings Of Wyandot county, pursuant
10 notice, assembled in MASS CONVEN-
TiON, in Upper Sandusky, on Saturday the
10Th instant. Well such mass convention
was never heard Of before, for the gathering
was smaller than any delegate meeting we
have witnessed ina great while,-four town
ships being unrepresented. The mass being
organized, Judge Cary addressed them in a
milk and water speech of some length. He
attempted to excite great alarm among his
brethren by telling them Of the horrors ofthe
war, just past, and Of the arrangement of af-
fairs in our State, &c. Judge said much
about the honor conferred upon the officers OF
the army, while the privates received but lit
tie pay and no credit; but in all this, he said
nothing about the Wings having majority in
Congress to make laws. He said much about
the principles of Cass, but could tell nothing
about the principles of Taylor, from any thing
like reliable evidence. He thought the qnes.
ton of slavery was one of a very delicate ma
ture-be belong entirely to the south and should
be left to that people to regulate. Will any
sensible man say that such are not the opn-
ions held by Gen, Cass? Judge also said, he
was an abolitonist but he could go for slave
holder. The whole speech was full Of slang
against Gen. Cass and the Democratic party,
and put forth with the usual preieniions to
truth and honesty that Wing stumpers gen
orally use. Judge Leath remarked that he
had thought but very little of politics for
Tong time, and knew but little about what
was going on in the political field, facts which
probably any audience might have discovered
without first being told.
After the speeches, the MASS convention

to the people the following person as the de-
libefations Of that body
Mr.. Root of Pitt township for Surveyor; Mr..
r. Krakau Of Crrne for Recorder; and Mr..

The party has been boared by man for
township office who IS something like one OF
the candidates they now have in nomination.
Indeed, we never witnessed greater failure
1T any meeting than greeted the Wings on
Saturday. Their call for MASS Conven-

(CFs Judges Cary and Leah in speaking
on Saturday last, admired Gen. Taylor's op.
position to party, but called upon every Wing
to stick to his party--never to forsake it. The
party--the party occupied two-thirds of their
speeches. Who do they expect to gull by
saying Taylor is no party man. True, Tay-
lor has no peculiar principles, either Whig or
Democrat, but he permits Wings to run him,
which should be sufficient to tell every Dem
ocrat he is not the man we want.
