The Word Conc Forth.

The Word Gone Forth.
1t is our duty as the publisher of a po-
litical journal to let it be known to the
people of the county, when a man is a
candidate for Office, something of his quail
iications for that Office; and although it
is rather an unpleasant task to speak dis
paragingly of person for whom we have
had the warmest of feeling, yet the con-
duct and course of Col. McCutchen has
been, and is of such character, that at
| this time, we feel bound to say something
in relation to his qualifications for the Of
flee of Auditor
This man has proven treacherous to his
party, and after pledging himself in con-
vention to support the nominees of the
Democratic party, offered himself as an
independent candidate. Does this show
anything for his honesty? We think not
Has he any right to ask supportfrom dem
ocrats after his betrayal of the Democrat
ic party and principles? Not any, will be
the answer of nearly every voter of the
party. These sacrifices of principles and
pledges may not be sufficient to prove to
the satisfaction of some men that the man
is not qualified, we will therefore 90 far
ther to prove the fact, for fact it is, that he
is not. qualified for that station. But to
the still stronger proof, which is his own
card, calling upon the people for their
support after violating most sacred
pledge. Here is the card, written in his
own style, and if the style is not con-
vincing evidence, then what would be
looked upon as evidence. Read the card
s.The undersigned from the numerous
solicitations of his friends in this county
now offers himself as a Independent candi
date for county Treasurer.
Should the Sovran PEOPLE eecause
to bestow their sufficient sufriges to elect.
The bisness will be done with dispatch and
on the most Posable acomodating terms
and will take all the intrest in his power
the people may have in and about the
Public Bildings.
JOSEPH McCUrcHEN
Upper sandusky, August 9th, 1851"
This was written when the gentleman
whose name is attached, was candidate
for treasurer, in 1851 Now do the vo-
ters of Wyandot county believe man
capable Of filing the important station of
Auditor, who cannot do better than this?
Many of those who are now attempting to
pursuade voters to cast their support for
Mr.. McCutchen, admit his inability to
transact the duties of the office of Audi
tor.
Democrats, you now have, we hope,
sufficient evidence to fully convince you
of your duty to your party. You also,
have men well qualified for every office for
which they are nominated. Mr. Hoyt,
all acquainted with him, will admit, is well
fitted for the station of Auditor, and his
labors in the Office will prove the fact to
those unacquainted. Then why not sup
port the nominees of your own party in
preference to mungrels, who have neither
claim to qualification or political honesty? ?
We have been we'll informed that there
are other candidates on the boiling ticket
who are as lily qualified as Col. McCutch-
en-. Will you leave your own ticket for
the purpose of supporting renegades, not
even fit to FIJI the stations for which they
are aspiring? Go to the polls on the day
of the election and give an answer that
this mungrel race will ever remember
Y You should let them know that you are
freemen, Democrats, and that your voice
will alone be heard in defence of your
own party and principles.
Democrats be on your Guard.
We have been told that Col J. McCut-
chen, has promised quite a lot of the
Democrats to have the Democratic Ticket
printed. with Mr.. Hovt's name out and
