ThA wig Ticket.


The Ohio Statesman does not think it will
be avery easy matter 70 defeat the Whig tick
ct nominated as Columbus On the Sd inst, as
itappears from the following paragraph in that
paper Of Saturday:
But say now, and we say il from firm
persuasion of its truth. that if the democracy
at their State Convention select their best men,
and then, after that, use their best effort for
success. We can beat that whole whig ticket
bya most handsome majority. That is our
candid opinion; expressed and dependent upon
the conditions Wy specify-our best men and
our best efforts in the canvass.
If the democracy select their best men,
and if after that. they use their best efforts
for success, then If the Statesman is not mis-
taken in its guess, the whole Wing ticket will
be defeated by handsome majority. The

by the Wing State Convention, and our own
cordial sentiments, we place at the head Of
ohF columns the name of WINE1ELD ScoTT,

Another candidate was preferred by the Con-

10 their fsfori.e candidate. and now in their

The Wings of Ohio held strong Conven-
ton at Columbus on the Sd and Sd of July
Nominations. after spirited canvass were
unanimously eoncurred in; and the Resolu-
tions which leave the Party standing firmly
on the true Wing Platform, were adopted,
SAYS theState journal "in storm of enthus-
aism." s.a -
The Hon Mr. Vinton,the candidate for Gov
ernor, is one of the best Wings and one Of
the most patriotic citizens liring. He has been
more than thirty years in high and responsible
public stations. without ever having incurred

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
The Plain Dealer and VintOH.

The following article from the SaRdusdy
Commercial Register. speaks for ITSELF We
trust neighboring Locofoco editors win learn
wisdom from its perusal:-
THE PLAIN DEALER ON V1NToN-That
consistent Journal, the Cleveland Plain Deal
er, has published Characteristic article on
the Wing candidate for Governor. The editor
decidedly dslikes him, and the reason is sup
posed to be, that Mr. Vinton is likely to be
elected
The ostensible, reasons are such as only that
paper would be likely 10 give First-Mr.
Vintnn has been in Washington. This reminds
as Of certain other gentleman, who went to
Washington gray and come home green, Ever
since tlat memorable visit Of the Plain Deal
er's senior to old CAVE whereat lie got a
flea in his ear. or tile in his hat the horror ex-
peFienced at the mention Of Washington has
been equal to that Of a rabid dog at the
sight Of water, But Mr.. Vintcn has spent his
summers among his benightened constituency
ofaAthens, Gallia and Meigs' This charge, il
duly proved, will probably do the business for
Mr Viuiou. The organ Of Governor Wood
makes out strong case against the Whig can
didate. First--he has spent his winters in
Washington. It is true his constituents sent
him there. but no matter he oughtnotto have
had any constituents Secoad-He spends
his summers at home. Rather a usual place
of.resorl especially if aman is lucky enough
To- have any home. Bnt then Ais home is
hmong bis 6snigkteaea constituency To bor-
row farorite phrase of one of our ighbors,
these are grave chaFgess' Ii remains TO be
seen, however, whether this denuneiaiion by
authority Of the people of ATHENS, Gallia and
Meigs. BY this Democratic organ of the
Powers that be- win have the effect to make
votes for any Locofoeo candidate in that dis
trick II the independent =oters Of ATHENS,
Gallia and Meigs, Of any party. can be indpe-
ed to lick the hand that smites them after the
fashion Of the Plain Dealer, then human ma
sure IS changed Of late.
The truth IS that the nomination of Vinton
strikes chill 70 the stomachs of the Locofocos,
and his character being above repToach, such
mendacious politicians as the Plain Dealer
folks. have been compelled TO fall back upon
such scurrilous nonsense as the above for the
want Of anything else to say. We apprehend
shat when the time for voting comes, the peo-
pie Of the Gallia district who are the objects
fall this ve1ons will give proof of their intel
Iigence, By rolling up an unusual majority for
the man, who. for many years. has stood by
their interests in Congress, and has rendered
his name conspicuous among the great and tall
ented men Of the nation BY his ability, industry
and devotion to the best interests of the
country.

Silence and Quiet,

The nominations at Columbus have mad the
effect to shut the mouths of our opponents all
over the State Neither the Democratic or
Free-soil journals with few exceptions, so much
as notice them. This is admirable policy, for
they well understand that names need only to
be mentioned to win troops ofsupportors from
their disaffected ranks. The truth is both
our Democratic and Freesoil opponents were
looking to the Wing Convention for division
IA regular blow up, and they are dssappoin-
ted. Several Of the old Democrats, DIR. E. B.
Olds among the number visited Columbus
expecting to witness complete disruption Of
the Wing party; They all returned home with
a flea in their ear" and silence and quiet is
now the order of things until after the Loeos
have made their nominations.

Nomination Of Gen. Scott.

umns the name of WINFIELD ScoTr as our

that they have acted wisely in having an early
expression ofthe preference. Cleve. Her.

Democratic Candidates.

Since the nomination of the strong men
that make up the Wing candidate for State
Officers the Democratic camp has been in a
continued fluiter and perturbation and an
active canvass has been going on to assertion
who their strongest men are. 1t seems to be
conceded that they must run Wood again for
Governor There is considerable squabbling,
however. for the other Offices w. H Groes-
beck, of this city, v see is named for the Sup
RENE Bench, and 9. W.Holmes for Treasurer.
Well, gentlemen, bring them out They
are both good just the kind of men we
like TO beat We expect to elect our ticket
sure. but one thing is certain. and that is that
if the Democracy expect to make any sort of a
show in the next canvass, they will be com.
pelIed to bring out the best and most gifted
men of their party. The high order of men
who compose our ticket will oblige them to do
this The consequence is that whichever par
ty elects its candidates, our State officers here
after will be men-of different calibre altogeter
from those that have been elected heretofore
anG for this change the State will be indebted
to the Wing. Gin. Chrcn.

A Safe Ret,

Several gentlemen were riding in car on
one of the Boston roads few days ago. when
the conversation turned on the next Presiden-
tial election, and the merits and prospects of
Webster, Fillmore, Scott, Cass, and others,
were discussed at large. After some time
solemn individual, who had listened in silen-
ce, addressed the party thus:-;My friends
you are all wrong Before the election of
1852. the world will have to come to an end,
and Jesus Christ will be President of the
Universal" Up started an enthusiastic gentle
man from the Granite State who stutteringly
said to the Millerite- "S-sir-Ill b-b-bet you
t-t-ten d-dollars New Hampshire w-w-w-won't
ego for him!" A roar of laughter greeted
the exit of the Second Advent man as he
removed himself to another car, Bos. Cour.

Another Band of outlaws in Illinois.

The Shawneetown (IlD Advocate of, the 9th
inst, contains an accounlof the breaking up of
gang of freeboeters, and the arrest of several
whose combination was but little less than that
one which created SO much excitement in
Michigan. Their head quarters were on
VOLTS Island, KY, near the corner of the
States of Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois and
Missouri The band was discovered, not long
since, through the failure of an attempt by
one of the ringleaders to murder DIR. Swayne
who had recovered a judgement for some$l o,
900 against Newton K. Wright, another prom
inent member Of the gang. In May, 1850,
Wright gave Abe Thomas, man of desper-
ate character, $3.50 to kill DR.. s. According
", Thomas pretending to wish the Doctor to
visit his sick father, enticed him from home
and attempted to murder him; but the Doctor
after being shot in the arm, gave the alarm,
and the desperate escaped. Notwithstanding
every, exerton was made to ferret out the vii
lain, so deeply was the plot laid that he was
only accidentally discovered short time aga;
and his discovery led to the disclosure of the
whole affairs of the company. They seem to
have made regular bushes of stealing slaves
in one State, running them off to another, and
then selling them.f Another Of their method
of specializing in negroes seems to have been
as follows. Some of their emissaries would
make tour through some of the neighboring
Slave States, entice slaves to run away, and
providing their victims with means to get into
Southern Illinois. Arrived there, the fugitives
were arrested by others Of the gang on the
lookout for the ru1aways; fictitious claims to
them were then set up, and maintained by
false testimony and perjury. The slaves were
then taken into one of the slave States and
sold. They carried on another species of
swindling upon an extensive scale, by means of
fictitious claims against estates of deceased
persons. Having forged notes for large
amounts against such estates, they would
prove the validity of the claim by some of
their gang In some cases they had gone so
far as to take dispositions, and were provided
with county seals and everything requisite to
give their proofs the semblance Of legality.
