Fremont weekly freeman. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County, Ohio) 1850-1853, 1850-08-31
To lhe wits Of Sandnsky COUNTY,

To the Wings Of SaRduSky County.
1t would at first view seem to be almost su-
peraRous At thistinc, to sayauy thing to the
Wings Of sandusky county, to oinduce them to
give full representation on the day appoint-
for their convention. The exciting topics of
the day-the Slavery Question--the Hard
Money issue. whichlthe Democratic party are
forcing upon the poople-the Individual LA
biiity. clause which they are endeavoring to
engraft upon the New Constitution-the
squandering Of Forty Thousand dollars of the
peoples money in useless debates and speeches
for Buncotub, by the solons of the convention
the Railroad projects which are going to
bring the market at least 500 miles nearer the
citizens Of Sanlusky county, are surely enough,
or ought TO be enough. 10 awaken every slum-
bering Wing toa sense of his own and the
nations true welfare.
This is, of all the exciting times in the his
tory of our own state. the one mos. fraught
with danger to US. The spirit of Radoalism,
guided by demagogues of the deepest dye,
are agitating the minds of certain part of our
people, upon certain subjects, and appealing
to the worst passions and prejudiccs of this
class that they may overthrow the time hon
ored, aud proof-trird systems that have nobly
stood the test Of time and experience; and are
striving to ride TO political preferment over the
ruins of their devoted country; and are will
ling to spare no means, leave no stone unturn-
ed, in order that this great object may be ac-
complished
WHIGS0 OF SANDUSKY COUNTY, the
toesin has been sounded-the alarm has been
rung from one end of the state to the other;
and staunch men and true, are in the field
battling against those who are thus madly
seeking her downfall. Your leader, the stand
ard bearer Of Wing principles. the Hon. VIM.
JOHNSTON, is now in the field, welding with
mighty power the weapons of truth, in your
righteous cause. The contest has fairly be-
gun and viii you, can you sit still without
lifting your hand, and await the result? Will
you not rather awaken from the lethargy that
has so long bound you. and let the world
know that you are still on the right side-that
you will be ready at the Ides of October, to
let the "ProgressiveS" know that the days of
demagoguery and chicanry are forever annihi-
lated?
The organization of the other party in this
county is now complete With such beau
t!fua creed. as that to which they subscribe
ito the victors belong the spoils," how can it
be otherwise, than that those Office seekers
should be wide awake, seeing who will first
get his hands into the public crib. Among
such crowd of "hopefuls," who have their
claims upon Northern Democracy" it is not
to be wondered at that some mems noses
should be made bridges of; and that those
who are thus run over rough shod, should feel
sore from the effect of bruises. But woe! to
the individual who has spirit enough to kick
Let him but breathe the breath of dissatisfac-
ton, and that man is politically dead, unless
he turns Free Soiler, for the ''good time COM
ing"
Experience has shown US that the wander
ers will return-that the boilers will be whip
ped in before the election, and the Locofoco
who dares to kick in the party traces, is smote
hip and thigh and turned out to starve on the
thorny wastes of Party Forgetfulness These
are not the reasons we would wish to influence
you. We wish you to feel as though some
thing more was at stake-something else was
worth living and striving for except paltry
dollars and cents.
REMEMBER, THEN, THAT THE IN
TERESTs OF THE COUNTRY ARE IN
DANGER. And IF there is but little hope
of electing our candidates in this county, there
is GREAT HOPE of success in the state cleo
ton
The object of the convention is, then, that
we may get out the Wing strength of this
county, and forget not that although we may
be beaten in the county, every Wing vote
counts ONE IN FAVOR OF JOHNSTON
and that if EVERY WHIG VOTE is brought
out at the October election, the ranks of Lo-
cofocoism viii be made to tremble, and that
their leader viii have to bid higher than ever
for new recruits.
NEXT SATURDAY, the 7th day of
September, is the day appointed for the
Convention. Let every Whig then exhort
his neighbor to turn outlet every man come
to the determination to work, and the result
viii show that we need but few united eff
forts to redeem this county from her political
depravity. Remember, that.
Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty.
For the Freeman.
GOTT, We CRIPPLEs, GO.
