The foilowidg paragraphs are significant. The
first relates to the Governorship, the last two to
the Lieutenant Governorshp The first two ex,
press the views of Gen. Carey, the well known,
able and eloquent advocate 6f Temperance in Ohio
Gen. Carey is also editor of the Cincinnati Organ
Of Temperamce; and through his own editorial col
umns he has expressed the following views views
which must awaken the serious consideration of
Temperance men of all parties, all over the State.
The last article in this connection is from the
Tue Democrat, with comments from the Forest
City. in relation 10 Judge Bissell, our candidate
for Lieut.. Governor.
1t seems that Judge Bissell declined imme diate-
y after his nnmnation. but no notice was taken of
his declinaton. our State Committee took
tion in reference to it, and his passed into
our State ticket. He now, through the True
Democrat deciseively withdraws his name, hence
we remove it from the ticket.
What action our State Committee will take in
the premises whether they. will fill the vacancy,
call State Convention 10 do it, or lake no action
we cannot tell.
The defeat of Bliss seems desirable In case Of
tie vote in the Senate, it would be sad that such
a man as Bliss should have it in his powerto crush
the Maine Law. by a casting vote. And yet,
the Lieut.. Governor is the presiding officer of the
Senate, we run this risk if Bliss is elected.
DR.. Allen is a wing of the liberal. progressive
order, strongly mbued with anti-slavery senti-
ments, AID deeply hostile to the Fugitive Slave
Law;and in regard to Temperament is as thoroughly
out spoken in its behalf Gen. Carey himself,
any oiher man in Ohio, and one of ihe warnest as
well as abest Maine Law men in the State.
What now shall be done in this state of the
case!
This is a question which should not be hastily
answered. 1t should be well pondered.
l. We obtrude no advice unasked. in the matter
We have our own views, however, and should not
be unwilling TO express them at proper time.
We hope the State Committee, if they take ac-
tion in the matteras they doubtless will.wihe con-
Quoted 10 wise conclusions. But whatever their
tion, we know from their high character thathey will
be actuated by purity of motive, and by sincere
desireto do that which shall best promote the
interests of the cause.
The several articles referred to above are the
following:
From The Columbian.
Gen. Carey and Mr. Lewis.
We were informed some weeks since, in a let
Der from clergy man of standing in Hamilton
county, that Gen. CAREY, the able and ndefatiga-
BILE champion oftemperance, in conversation had
expressed his intention of voting for Mr.. Lewis,
| although making - pretensons of favor to our An
ii Slavery party. And now We are gratifed for
the reason last above given, to find that Gen. G..
does not hesitate to express the purpose tao
lily, in the Organ Of The temperance Reform, of
which he is the editor. We copy the following
from that paper of July 29:h:

ther of the men named have any sympathy for the
cause we advocate. Neither of them are with US,
either in principle practice, and we suppose,
honestly, there is no choice between them in this
respect. We have also been inquired of in refer
ence to Samuel Lewis, the Free Soil candidate
for Governor. In reply, we would say that Mr.
Lewis has, for more than twenty years, been an
earnest advocate of temperance, and is warmly
and zealously in favor of law to annihilate liquor
manufacture and traffic.
We have no confidence in either party as par

ties in this emergency, nothing will be accomplish

THE LIEUTENANT GovERNoRsHIP.-Every

to be one of the most anti-partisan papers in the
