Before another issue Of our paper
the battle will have been fought.
No one will hesitate to say that
never in Ohio, was more depending
on a single election. II Wings have
been contending for the Right, then
never was that Right in more danger
than now. Wings, do not permit
yourselves TO be deceived or betray-
ed. II is in the power oi the Wings
10 elect SAMUEL F. VINToN Governor
of Ohio. Will not the Wings oi
Gallia cast their full strength for
your ticket, and the whole ticket
Your opponents never divide, and
can only succeed through your d.
vision or Indifference; our only
safety, our only hope OF success is in
union and a full vote. Let not the
stigma rest OF Gallia county, which
has hitherto been true as the princi.
piles Of our party. Let US all 60 10
the polls, see that all our neighbors
are there, and vote the whole Whig
ticket.

GEORGE E. PUeH, the Locofoco can
didate for Attorney General, in his
speech here, on Monday last, exhibited
a remarkable trait Of character, and one
too of which very modest men might
envy him. As far as we could observe,
he had no pugnacious visitings Of con-
science when he ventured assertions moi
absolutely true. Perhaps he was stim-
uIated to it, somewhat from The circum'
stance that the unterrjfed are very in.
dulgent. in this particular, especially
when the lie is pointed directly at the
Wings and is uttered on great occasions
and Just before an election.

TGov. Johnston, that ought TO
have been, addressed a large Whig
meeting on Thursday night in the
Fifth street Market Space, Cincin-
natl. The following paragraph OF
his speech, as reported in the Enqui-
rer, reflects the feelings Of every true
Wing in the State, and we should
like 10 see a committee appointed,
with Stoga Boots, ESQ.,, as Chairman,
TO carry its suggestion into effect as
soon as practicable after the cleo
tor:
"One OF the tyrants OF old wish
ed all the people had but one neck,
that he might put his foot on all Of
them at once; Byron wished that all
the women had but one mouth, that
he might Kiss them all at once; for
his part he wouldn't emulate the ex-
ample of either the tyrant or the po-
ct, but he wished that all the Wings
who may stay at home on The next
election day had but one seat Of hon.
or, that he might drdtD on his big
6Oot and kick them all at oncer'

MEssRs. EDIroRs:-I had the pleas
ure cI witnessing mass meeting Of
the Democracy of old Gallia. at the
Episcopal Church in Gallipolis, this
day; the meeting after disposing Of a
candidate for the Legislature from
the country, who had been named
by his friends in opposition to a gen
.tieman of tonn, was addressed BY
George E. Pugh, Esq, Of Cincinnati,
the Locofoco nominee for Attorney
General. George is young man OF
some brass, at least. ] have had the
honor OF a personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Pugh and take pleasure
in introducing him 10 the acquain-
tance Of the voters Of Gallia County,
previously to casting their ballots for
him for the important Office OF Attor-
ney General. This same George
E. Pugh and one Alex. N. Pierce, on
the first Monday Of December, lS4S,
"about the hour OF eight" in the
morning, at the Hall Of the House
of Representatives, in the city Of
Columbus, produced certificates Of
election to the House Of Represen-
tatives from the couaty Of Hamilton,
Ia district unknown 10 the laws OF
Ohio,) and was sworn as such by the
notable Judge Reed, which rash and
unconstitutional act caused the diff
Guilty in the organization OF the
House that session, and cost the peo-
pie thousands OF dollars. After some
twenty five days, the House refused
to admit George E. Pugh. and Alex.
A. Pierce, 10 seats as Representatives
from Hamilton county, (sEE HOUSE

hearing Of their claims, Mr.. Morse,
free soiler from Lake county,
changed his mind and voted with
the locofocos, tha. Pugh and Pierce
were entitled 10 seats, and they were
admitted.
Now [ propose TO tell my fellow
citizens OF Gallia county what they
gained by this operation; it is the
privilege Of having their children ad-
mitted 10 seats in the common schools
with the children of negroes, for in
consideration Of the premises, the
locofocos had given the free soilers a
pledge thatif they would admit Pugh
and Pierce to seats, they, the locos,
would elect Chase Senator and re-

understood at the time Of their ad-
mission, and subsequenteVents proved

made no issue between the parties
other than that the revenues OF the
State should be collected and disbur-

as can be found in the columns Of the
Ohio Statesman for the last ten
years. Respectfully

For our part, we heartily approve
of the plan. 1t is one that is pur-
sued in almost every other State in
the Union with tie most beneficial
results, and we see no reason why
Kentucky should be in this respect a

would be obviated By this means-a

The Glasgow Banner says:
The farmers OF Howard, Charlton,
and Randolph counties are busily en-
gagged in cutting their tobacco. We
have made some inquiry, and learn
that the crop will be fully an aver
age one. The dry, warm weather
Of August matured the plant earlier
this season than usual. Should there
be no frost for two weeks, the crop
will be housed in fine condition, and
will be more than an average one in
point Of quality.
The Paris Mercury says:
Our farmers are now engaged in
cutting their tobacco, and the crop
in Monroe will be unusually large
this season and oI a good quality.
The fine price paid for tobacco the
past season induced many Of our
farmers to engage quite extensively
in the business this season-conse-
quently large and elegant crop will
be housed in few days, If the wealth
er continues anything like favorable.

The Paris Mercury says:

LOPEZ AND CUBA.-Lopez' agent at
Havana, has made a statement in which
he says no one deceived Lopez, nor was
he himself deceived. The only mistake
was respecting the possibility of imme-
diate action. He says:
"No letters or news has ever been
forged in this city, and | am astonished
that such an accusation could ever have
been made against the few devoted
friends who, sincerely convinced of the
justice of the cause. have spared no eff.
fort, no sacrifice, to serve it, and have
engaged in it their name and their for
tune, with no other guarantee than the
word and honor of one man. These
letters have never been written with the
intention of deceiving; their only fault
is exaggeration, not as regards the
feelings and wishes OF the Cuban peo-
pie, but TO the possibility Of imme-
date action.
"But few Cubans Joined him, it is
true; but how many tried to joint
The jailors Of Havana may answer
that question by stating how many
arrests were made on the roads since
the 18th of August; they can answer
it by telling what is the crime COM
mitted by over 1000 wretches now

to Spain. The soldiers also can ans
wer by saying how many have been
executed behind the bushes Of the
