We have seen a Democratic ticket
printed by the Wings, with DIR. Olds'

Democrats. and cheat them into giving

be perpetrated by the wings al the polls.
So look out for them. They are per-

thing TO defeat Olds.
Hunt out the Wing tricksters and
tricks. and expose them.
So talks the Ohio Statesman, the day
previous to the election. What a re-
buke Sam Medary has thus given to his
brethren in Gallia county, who circula-
ted a large quantity Of Wing tickets,
"printed by" themselves, with Taylor's
name omitted and Sherer's name inser-
ted. Is it possible that the Democracy
of Franklin county is so much more
honest than il is down here in Gallial
Mr.. Medary, your political friends here
have perpetrated this "sort of fraud" so
long that il is no "trick" at all-what
seems to be deemed a fraud at the cap
itol, is one of the most honest tricks of
electioneering with the Democracy of
Gallia county.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIoN.-T h e
Wings of Gallia stood by their COL
ors we'll at The State election, but
they will roll up largely increased
majority for Old Chippewa, on the
2nd Of next month. Every county
promises large gains for Scott over
the State vote-and they will give
it. Let no friend OF WINFIELD SCUTT
become lukewarm by supposing that
the State election is any test OF the
popularity OF the old hero in Ohio.
How was it in lS4S? The Wings
elected their Governor at the State
election, vet Cass beat Taylor some
sixteen thousand. II the old Scott
guard will do their duty, Ohio can be
carried for their candidate bv a
handsome majority. The Wings
did not expect to elect their ticket in
the State. but they do expect TO give
the electoral vote OF Ohio to Scott,
and we can see in the election just
past. nothing discouraging to their
hopes. The Wings have carried
three Congressional districts which
give large Democratic majorities.-
These elections are certainly better
evidence OF wha; we may expect at
the Presidential election, than the
State ticket can be. ln two other
districts. likewise strongly Demo-
cratic, The 9th and 18th, the Loco
members are barely elected. Then
TO the work once more, never doubt
ing if our whole duty is discharged,
that a certain victory will follow

State is TO have any effect, let it be
TO urge them forward TO greater dill
igence, and more earnest endeavors

Olds' majority is only 40. This result
is certainly very encouraging. The Lo-
cofocos last winter divic ed the State in
to Congressional districts, giving the
Wings only four, as they supposed
thus we have carried three strong Loco
districts-the 2nd, Sd and 18th. In
Hamilton county the Wings have elec-
ted one half Of their ticket--for Con-

a Sheriff, Higdon, By some 600; Com

'Denocraey Never Changes"-How
stands lhe fact I'm HaIIIpoIisf


As Messrs. Tod and Medill claimed
that the Democracy had never
changed on any Of the great public
Questions, and the Democracy here
abouis said, Amen, il is well enough
TO recollect fact or two as we &C
along; and it will need no very re
tentive memory to show up the beau
tiful inconsistencies OF modern De.
mocracy.
A year or two since the ther
President Of the temporary organi
cation Of the Gallipolis, Jackson and
Chillicothe Railroad, was very busy
for week or two procuring signers
TO a petition, asking Congress &c
make donation of a small portion
Of the public lands, TO aid in building
said Railroad. A very good object,
and this Democratic President
evinced verycopmendable energy in
procuring large number Of sigma
lures of Democrats and Wings, as
well as in urging our then member
OF Congress, Hon. S. F. Vinton, to
give the object his personal influence,
All right, at least so thought Whigs
and Democrats then. But Tod had
talk with this President and these
Democratic signers, and they learn
for the first time that the granting Of
the public lands for internal improve
ments, is not Democratic measure,
according to the modern patent,
when Gallipolis Democracy right
about face, and oppose Hon. ]. l..
TAYLOR because he supported bill,
Bennet's, the same in principle NTH
that which they had asked Congress
to pass. and which they had urged
Mr.. Vinton to secure the passage of,
if possible. This petition was the
only expression of the wishes Of the
Democracy of Gallia county that
ever came before Congress respect
ing the public lands-no other petit
ton was ever forwarded on the SUBJ
ject, and now, at the bidding Of Tod,
they, men of intelligence and up
right character outside OF politics,
commence the most reckless and
mean opposition against the man
who had respected their wishes and
obeyed their instructions. Yet we
are told that the Democrats never
But thanks 10 the honest
electors of the 10Th Congressional
district, J. L. Taylor has been re-

GALLIA CoUNTY.-We give the Of
fetal vote this week. Ii will be seen
that the highest Whig majority on
the State ticket is 45I. We con-
graduate our friends on this result,
for if it is not as large majority as
the county has given, yet it is larger
than our opponents anticipated. and
comes up to the mark the Wings
claimed.
Wing county officers all elected
except McCormick for Assessor in
the 2nd district, who is beaten by
Kerns by 8 votes.
On the whole the Wings Of Gallia
accomplished good days work. but
a still better will be performed on
the 2nd OF November.
