dom of Speech" Mr.. Ranney is the un.
compromising opponent of every species OF
slavery, n true democrat Of the Jefferson
and Jackson school, and man whonSthe

Corruption Fund

We learn from the Dayton Empire, that
the wings of Montgomery county have rails
ed two thousand dollars to be expended in
the campaign. In other counties the same
thing has been done-and for what purpose2
Why, for nothing else than bribery and cor-
ruption! The wings seeing there is no
possibility of defeating democracy fairly, in
an open and manly contest, and determined
on securing the spoils, at whatever hazard,
will resort to the most base and corrupt
means to accomplish their unrigteous ends.
Money will be used freely the brood of
banks in our State will furnish the pictured
promises, and every effort will be made to
foist upon Ohio a Tory Governor and
Federal Legislature, with all their dark
train of evils. Fraud, falsehood, bribery
and corruption will be used, as in the cam
paign of l940. This is the whig game,
shall they play it successfully! Demo
Gratis, arouse! !-"place facts and arguments
before your neighbors, and make up by IT,
creased vigilence, for the attempted bribery
of whiggery "-Wayne Co. Democrat.

CLAY DECLINES.

The New York Courier & Enquirer pub
fishes the following extract, of a letter from
Henry Clay in relation to the use that is
being made of his name by his old political
frie1ds, in various sections of the Union.
1t will be observed that nothing is said in
the letter, as published. as to the course of
Mr.. Clay in relation to the support of the
Philadelphia nomination, through it is sup
posed that the stars in the letter indicate his
utter repugnance to that nomination.

nance or encouragement to any movement

high office (the Presidency before the pub

fishing the fact, that VIM. c. Rivcs Of Vir-

tor on the Taylor ,cke. in thai Stale. in
an article published i'll the Washington
Globe, in 1913, this same w. =. Rives,
pronounced Gen. Cass '.ONE OF THE
MOST AHLE AND ACCOMPLISHEi ED
MINISTER'S AND JURIoFS OF
WHOM ANY COUNTRY CAN
BOAST" IN the same article, speak
ing oflhe Quintuble Treaty, which was
defeated by the address and energy Of GEN.
Cass he says:
"The value of his service TO his own
country it wero difficult 10 appreciate, even
by an approximate standard. Had the
quintuple treaty been consumated by the
ratification of France, land that it wes not
was owing especially to the timely and
spirited interposilion of Gen. Cass,) we
have the authority Of Lord Palmerston, in
the late debate in the House Of Commons.
and of Lord Brougham, for saying Great
Britain would have been so flushed with the
success Of her projects, and so emboldened
in the pursuit Of her long-cherished aim Of
undisputed supremacy on the ocean, that
America would hive no alternative but
war or submission on the great question of
maritime rights, on which she had siaked
her character and fortunes. Submission is
q word not found in the vocabulary of A
merican patriotism. War, then, with the
greatest maritime power ofthe world, would
have been inevitable-and with the alliance
of all Europe secured TO her beforehand,
to back and sustain her in the conflict
By the bold and skillful efforts of Gen,
Cass in averting the ratification ofthe treaty
France was detached from this menacing
and formidable Anglo European confeder-
acy, and restored TO her natural and on.
cient relations of cordial cooperation with
the United States in defending the liberty
of the seas. This at once gave England
pause: and by transferring TO the side of
the United States, the peaceful ally which
had been detached from her, enforced upon
her councils the necessity of peace with A,
merica."

The way they talk i'm the South.

We have before US the 'Noxubee Rife
Taylor paper published at Macon, Mis-
sissippi, which denounces Gen. Cass as an
abollionis,, and opposed to the extension
Of slavery and all such elccloneoring maj.
ter. The whig papers hore talk differently.
The paper above referred to says:
"GEN. CASS IS THE Cif tMpION
OF NORTH WESTERN, WHICH Is
WORSE THAN NORTHERN, ABO-
LITlONiSM'l!i
The same paper goes on to say hat if
his supporters in the north are assti-slavery
it is "3ECAU>E THEY ARE TOO
POOR TO OWN SLAVES" Ger.
Taylor is lauded, because he owns 50 many

effort to prove that MillaId Fillmore is in

GA fact occurred at the Corwin meet
ing held in this place a few weeks since,
which it may not be amiss or too late to
mention. A staunch old Democrat, in the
north part Of this county, but who does not
mingle much in party strife,on seeing Taylor
nominated last year by public meetings and
individuals and accepting the nominations
as not the candidate Ct party, avowed his
determination to cast his vote for the hero
of Buena Vista, and he continued for Tay-
lor until Corwin came to this place to plead
his cause. Our Democratic friend could
not stand that, and forthwith repudiated the
man who was thus supported by the traitor
Corwin, and will cast his vote ard influence
for Cass and Butler.

I'VE have received letter dated the 9th

Committee at Cincinnati, stating that letters
had been addressed to the candidates for
Governor, questioning them ON National
Reform Measures. Mr.. Weller has stated
on various occa sions that he is willing to
commit his views on Land Reform to writ
ing, and will no doubt answer the Commit
tee on the receipt Of their letter. Of Mr..
Ford we have not heard any intimation of
the sentiments which he holds on our Meas
ures. The questioning of the candidates for
Governor and the selecting of National
Reform candidate, was placed in the hands
of the State Executive Committee and we
hope they will loose no unnecessary time in
deciding

Correspondence Of the Ohio State Tribune.
STEUBeNy1LLE, Sept, 4th, lS48.

Correspondence oftAs Ohio State Tribune.
srEupeNvrLLE, Sept. 4th, ls4s. .
Mr.. Editor:- Dear sir: In my letter Of
August 3Oth, enquired of you whether
our State Executive. Com mittee had queE-
toned the Candidates for Governor. Since
then Col. John B. Weller, the Democratic
Candidate, has been here. The Executive
Committee of the National Reform Asso-
citation of this County questioned him &.
B. Wellerl as follows:
alst. Are you in favor Of the Federal
Government ceasing tosell the Public Do
main, or Lands; and of laying them out in
lots Of not more than l60 acres, for the
free and exclusive use of Actual Settlers.
a2d. Are you in favor of the Exemption
of homestead from forced sale, for any fu-
ture debt or liability.
"3d And will you use your influence,
whether in or out of Office, to procure the
adoption of the above measures"
He stated to those who presented the
above, that he was willing to reduce his
answer to writing. But as we were only
County Committee, we asked him to give
us his answer from the stand, as there was
great many people here from the country,
and we concluded that many of all parties
would hear him, that perhaps, would never
see his answer in print. Thus we bring our
measures before all the people. After get.
ting pretty we'll through with his speech he
took up our "Questiens," which were in
writing, and signed by our Committee, and
| replied about as follows:
Il am requested to answer the following
questions;' after reading the lst, he said
s1 am,-and would have all the public
lands together with what we have acquired
from Mexico, laid out in l6O acre lots, fire,
to the oppressed of all nations, as well a
our own citizens, and then no man woult
take slaves on l60 acres" After reading
the ID, he said. II am in favor of this also
if no objection arise, which at present d.
not see." To the 3rd, Il will use my inhu
ence, and will never give my..vote on the sid
of slavery"
The aboye may not be the exact word
but they are as near as can recollect - they
convey his sentiments at all events. Tit
| National Reformers here are satisfied ant
Col. Weller will receive the National Re
form vote of this county without doubt.
hope, however, the Committee for the State
in Cincinnati, will get his views in writing
so that he may get the vote of all the Reform
ers in the State.
Respectfully yours, &c.

AN ELOQUENT FIGURE.-The Mecklen.
burg Jeffersonian says:I"Like one OF
those wondrous rocking stones reared by
the Draids. which the finger OF a child
might vibrate to its centre, yet the might
of an army could not move from its place;
our Constitution is so nicely poised and
balanced, that it seems to sway with every
breath of opinion, yet so firmly rooted in
the hearts and affections of the people, that
the widest storms of treason and fanati-
cism break over il in vaip."
