Tuesday next you will be called
upon to select your public servants.
The few days that are left should be.
devoted 10 the work Of preparing.
If on previous years, your common
school law and your tax law, those
two great Wing measures which
have done SO much for the laboring,
the poor man, the former Of which
was the work Of your present candi-
date fol Governor, have been suffi-
eient to demand your attention at
the polls, doubly aroused ought you
to be now. That same party which
opposed the common school law and
he tax law, that have run up the
State debt 10 near $40. 10000 with
out providing for the payment Of one
cent, would now destroy the present
revenue and bank laws, which would
in effect and in fact increase the
debt to S50.000 900, and proportion
ably the debts OF the whole debtor
class.
REMEMBER that if the verdict is
against you, even TO the ruin Of your
selves. your families and the State,
no subsequent election can set it
right, your complaints will be useless
for they will be too late. Our oppo-
nents are pledged, if by any means
a majority Of the votes are cast
against Judge Johnston, to incorpo-
rate into the constitution, beyond
the control OF any subsequent Legis-
lature, their most radical notions Of
Bank destruction.
Wigs, ,0orE ,Uhile the day lasts,
work for William Johnston, work
for sound banking, fair and equal
taxation; work Tor the safety Of the
State. Devote yourselves to action,
intense and persevering action, till
the Sth, with a full vote, and the
hard money humbug, sleeps its long
sleep.

PThe steamer Kate KeQrney,
which was recently disabled by the
explosion of one Of her boilers, arri-
we'd at st. Louis on Saturday last, in
tow Of the Die Vernon. Eight or
nine Of the firemen who were seal
ded by the explosion, were taken to
the hospital. The Republican says
that several Of the unfortunate beings
were literally Aayed, and appeared
to suffer greatly, while others were
badly, but not dangerously scalded.

Several members Of Congress, who
are candidates for reelection, have left
Washington and their duties there, and
are at home looking after a reelection.
Among the number we notice Sweetzer
and Olds, Loccs, and Giddings, of this
State. These gentlemen. although they
absented themselves some three weeks
previous to the adjournment. are draw
ing their pay up to the 3oth. We trust
it will be the last dime they ever will
draw from the same source.

The ChilIicothe Gazette says:
To the WhiE. Of Ohio.

We have received several letters
requesting US TO urge Judge Johnston
to visit and address the people at
several points in the State. 1t is i'm.
possible for him to fiji more appoint
ments than are now made. He
speaks at Woodsfeld to-day, and
continues his appointments till the
2Sth inst. He then visits Hamilton
county, and will remain there during
the fair, which closes on the 4th Of
Oct. He then speaks in Logan and
Champaign. Then comes the elec-
tion, when the people speak, Judge
Johnston has performed an immense
deal Of labor, and the Wings intend
to reward him for it.
Let US say TO the Wings Of the
counties where the Judge has not
spoken and where they are anxious
to hear him, that there is ,oOrk for
them to do, as well as for their candi-
date. If they cannot have him 10
address them, let them spend the
time they would devote TO a mass
meeting, to thorough and system
attic organization of their county!-
In no other way can so much good
be done. Friends Whigsl DO NOT
OMIT THIS DUTY.

whIg., Remember the sth OF October.

In few days you will be called
upon to select your public servants.
Don't neglect to vote, on any condi-
ton. Your county ticket may be
safe, but it is your duty as Wings to
turn out in solid phalanx to roll up
the majority, to give significance and
decision TO victory.
90 TO THE POLLS.
Trust not to your expected major
ity;-voters, not absentees, make the
majority. Be prompt at the polls,
and deposit your ticket in season.
DON'T TRADE IN VOTES.
This is always the game Of those
who wish to 'divide and conquer"
Always suspect some mischief if any
one offers TO trade votes with you.
Beware Of the Stoap game.
SEE THAT NO FRAUD IS PRAcTIsED.
Look out for tickets headed 'wHIG,
bnt filled up with Democratic candi-
dates, or at least with some Demo-
cratic name on them. Be not de-
ceived by any such tickets as these.
BE NOT DECEIVED
BY any apparent supineneSs or in
difference of the Democrats. They
may pretend that they are not going
TO vote, that there is no object in vo-
ting, that there is nothing at stake,
and thousand similar acts. But
they will all be at the polls, and will
roll up their whole strength. Imi-
tate their vigilance, and surpass their
industry.
THERF Is NO TIME To LOSE.
In a few days the election will be
upon us. Have your tickets all rea-
dy, and be sure they are right--thai
the names are all right-that the ini-
tial letters are all correct-that eve.
ry Whig has one TO vote, and one to
give his neighbor.
LOOK OUT FOR PALsE RUMoRs
To be sprung on the morning ol
the election, too false to be uttered
before, and too late to be disapproved
then. This is an old game, but will
doubtless be tried again. Put no
confidence in any thing reported at
that late hour. Frown on all such
faLSehOOdS.
Pull together-Work together
Vote together-and victory is oursl

charging US with lalsehoods, in sta
ting that Hiram G.. Daniels was
nominated over Havius Case. Well,
well, if that is not the coolest thing
we have yet heard of. Will any
member Of the Democratic conven-
ton at Pomeroy on the 18th Of Au-
gust, deny that FldUiuS Case was
not a candidate, and that Meigs and
Lawrence Counties were favorable
to his nomination. More than this:
if was conceded that Case stood the
best chance for a nomination. Well,
what was the RESULT The conven-
ton was postponed until the 7th OF
September. when the machinery be-
ing perfected, he was laid out. Now
with brazen assurance they deny all
this. Too late, gentleman-the facts
are too notorious. We understood
perfectly we'll what we stated-and
we can name the Democrat--a men,
Der of the convention which selected
the Congressional delegates--who
told US that the Meigs delegates were
Case men. Yet we are told that Mr..
Case was not candidate.
The facts cannot be disguised
They are as we stated. Let honest
Democrats remember that hard mon
ey men defeated him. He had re-
fused to surrender his opinions as a
man and a citizen, and the result is
before US. Freemer, ponder on this
result.-Meigs County TeLegraDh.
