Eg In conclusion, will it not be well for
our old citizens to administer tender rebuke
to the distinguished editor of the Freeman, in
the shape of double vote for the old Judge?
Democrat
Shouldn't wonder if the distinguished"
leaders ofthe Locofoco party of the Fremont
clique did resort to double vOting to secure
their ends. Mr.. Orton is known to be per-
sonal friend to John G. Bresln, the Locofoco
candidate for State Treasurer, who resorted
to double balloting" in the Ohio Legislature
to defeat important Wing measures, when
the Whig party had majority in that body,
and if he can contrive any plan to cheat a
majority ofthe people, he will undoubtedly do
so. The Whig party, and the honest portion
of the Democrat party, will do well to watch
their interests.

Mr.. Fillmore is man worthy of the support
of all parties. He has been a faithful and
honest President He has done justice to
North and South. He assumed the duties of
his Office under the most embarrassing cir
cumstances. These duties he has discharged
almost miraculously to the satisfaction of all
sections. He pursued the even and quiet
tenor of his way, looking to neither extreme of
the Union, but the whole country, and is now
the President Of the most contented people on
the face of the earth. No chief executive Of
6cer Of the United States ever displayed more
wisdom, moderation, and conciliation To
him we are indebted Tin no small measure) for
the unparalleled prosperity and general con-
tentment which everywhere pervades the
country. Well then may the people sustain
him. Fredericksburg News.

EE Il was now necessary that something
desperate be done, and Mr.. Worcester's name
was Withdrawn.
The secret history of this abrupt and unex-
pected withdrawal of Mr. Worcester's name,
as we are informed, reads as follows:r-T
delegation from Sandusky we're "sver greys"
and had one or more pockets filed with
documents to prove that Mr.. Worcester is free
soiler-ish-and opposed to the Fugitive Slave
iaw-presided once at meeting, where that
administration measure was publicly denoun-
ced-and perforce is not Fillmore Wing.
The Sandusky delegation proposed to make
point on this ground, and present the said
documents to the convention. Democrat,
If the editor of the Democrat means by the
above that the Delegation of Sandusky coun-
ty were in possession of any such documents
as represented by him, the charge is false.
And if he means that The Erie delegates had
in their possession such documents, the idea
is certainly most ridiculous. Judge Saddler,
the candidate from Erie county is known to
be more of freesoiler, than Mr.. Worcester,
and had his friends presented any such docu-
ments it would have been most unfortunate for
them, if they wished by that means to gain ia
vor. We saw no such doucuments nor heard
of any, and presume the Democrat manufac-
tured the story out of whole cloth. The fact
is, the delegates labored for the success of
their several candidates, because they thought
them the most popular. The candidates were
all Wings, good and true, and either would
carry the Wing strength.

Eg The editor of the Democrat tried hard
last week to make his readers believe that the
Wings had terrible times at their judicial con-
vention in this place. The fact is, that each
of the candidates had their warm friends in
the Convention, and they were 10th to give up
their man as long as there was any hopes of
nominating him. But soon as it became ap-
parent that Mr.. Buckland would get the nom
ination, all cheerfully acquiesed in the choice,
and went home resolved to do good service
for the successful candidate. There was no
difficulty. other than that named above, in
the convention, and there was not single
delegate present but who was satisfied with
the nominee, Mr.. Buckiand deserves to be,
and undoubtedly will be triumphantly elected.
He will be elected, if the Wings half do their
duty.

R, I. Bartlett.

This gentlemen (?) has been making him
self ridiculous by infictng upon the readers
of the Democrat over a column of billingsgate
and falsehoods We replied to his questions
in gentlemanly and corteous manner, and
the truth of our remarks is known TO every
citizen of Fremont 1t is now merely ques-
ton of veracity between him and ourself, and
we are willing to let the public judge which is
the liar. Besides, we have no disposition to
kick whipped dog, and therefore turn him
over to the tender mercies of his new political
allies. The only thing We are surprised at in
the matter, is the fact that the editor of the
Democrat should permit so scurrilous and
abusive an article to appear in its columns.
