Hor. 5. ii Johnson re.nominated

This gentleman, whe represents the
Congressional District composed of the
counties of Ashland, Wayne, Medina
and Lorain, has been nominated by the
Democracy for reelection. Mr.. j. voted
against the repeal of the Missouri COM
promise; and if there is a particle of
honesty or consistency in the wings of
that district, they will all support him.
We do not expect anything of the kind,
however. The wings make a great clam
or about Notwithstanding Anti
Nebraska candidates for congress, and
Anti-Nebraska candidates for Coroner,
merely for the purpose of getting them
selves into power. That's the whole Sc
cret of the business You don't find
them voting for Anti-N ebraska dem
ocrats to vote for them! How very
kind and cunning this isi-Mt. Vernon
Banner.
Well said neighbor Harper. The
wings of this district who voted for Gen.
Scott in 1852 with the Baltimore
Platform annexed" and sustained Fill
more's administration, don't care a straw
about the Nebraska bill. But there is
a strong Democratic majority against
them, and unless the old line wings
truckle to the abolitionists, there is no
hope of success.
And they are even treacherous to
their allies. When the wings of this
county went into convention they were
" rampant" for DR.. Coulter, a Wing
but finding that DR.. Townshend, an hon
est and conscientious Anti Nebraska
man, but whose principles on State poll
cy are Democratic, might succeed if they
persisted in their choice, at once dropped
him and united on Bliss who is half WING
and half abolitionist and really a cypher,
both politically and intellectually. II
honest in their professions why did they
not nominate DR.. Townshend, the origi,
nal abolitionist in the district, and a man
possessed of a high order of talent. All,
me thinks 1 hear the responsible is
too Democratic H"-W0yne Co. Dem.

It is we'll known that the New York
EUening Post was a violent opponent
of the Nebraska bill, but since the emf
grafton has commenced flowing into the
territories, it has changed front. The
editor no longer has any fears that Slave
ry will go there, and now takes his po-
sition against the restoration of the Mis-
souri, Compromise ! .Fusionists, hear
him for his cause
.Now, if we insist and compel the res
toration of the Missouri Compromise, do
we not also by that very act, restore all
the conditions previously existing favor
able to slavery? Do we desire this
We arc now placed in a better position
than we have over before occupied for a
successful opposition to the spread of
slavery, and for the extinction of slave
nv where it now exists in territories cut
of which new States arc to be formed.
Let us make the most of this favorable
position. Instead of pursuing chimeri-
cal schemes-instead of re-constructing
a bad bargain, now annulled by the faith
lessness of the other party, let US avail
ourselves Oh GnC uDSOllClGeu auNduGdRc
which has been given to us.
Fusionists, these are the words of
WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, who has been
second to no man in the North in his
opposition to slavery. They are the
words of truth and soberness, and should
be well considered. Let US have no
more compromises with slavery. Kan
sas and Nebraska are bound to be free
the Missouri Compromise can do no more.
The restoration of the Missouri Compro-
mise will only a%ggravate the South, and
accomplish no good for the North. In
tolerance will beget intolerance, and the
result will be an agitation such as this
country has never yet witnessed. Let
US take the slavery question out of the
halls of Congress, and leave it to be set
tied by the people, and freedom must
triumph Out of all the territory now
belonging to the United States, tberei is no
probability of there being more than two
more slave States, if left to the people
themselves. The South have voluntari-
ly offered to settle the slavery question
upon this basis. Let us take them at
their own offer, and dispute with them
every inch Of territory. The future will
show that in the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise the South have only cheat
ed themselves, and the North will be
immensely the gamers thereby. If such
be the fact, and we believe every man
must so conclude upon mature reflection,
where the necessity of the formation, or
what is to be accomplished by the Flu
sion party? Let every Democrat pom
der well these suggestions, ere he sac
rifces his party and the principles which
he has always held dear, and votes for
the Fusion ticket.

New York, Sept. 9, 1854.
We are having a week of warm wealth
er, after a fortnight too cool for Summer.
This hinders the refux of the tide of
New Workers which poured out in July
to the country, and is now due here.
Operations of all kinds, however, are
commencing, for the coming season. The
City Authorities are receiving plans and
estimates for a new City Hall, to take
the place of the present unpopular and
well-worn fabric. Among many propo-
sails, n strikes us very favorably. This
is, the new City Hall to be constructed
of solid iron. This seems to be the only
style of building which is at all peculiar
to America. All our public buildings
are modelled after magnificent European
structures of marble, granite and free
stone. This iron is something original
and practical. There are some very
handsome warehouses, stores and manu-
factories in the city, built entirely of
this material. One or rwo stores are
built upon the Crystal Palace principle,
with Iron and Glass, and make a very
beautiful appearance. visited, during
this week, an uptown ship-yard, where
a small steamship is in process of con-
struction, intended for the navigation of
the Orinoco. This great river, though
very wide, is exceedingly shallow, and
a wooden vessel of large burthen can
navigate the stream to any distance.
This steamship, though about so feet
long, draws only 16 inches of water.
The steamer is being fitted out by a pri-
vate company, to explore the Orinoco,
with a view to commercial operations.
Ordinary vessels do not last long on the
South American coast. Timber is very
rapidly destroyed by the borer, and a
species of worm that will honey-comb all

are even suspected. have seen a piece

On motion Mr. johnson was declared
unanimously nominated.
A committee was then appointed to
notify Mr. johnson of his nomination
and solicit his presence in the conven-
ton. The committee after a brief alb
sence returned and anAsbunced Mr. J.
present. Who came forward and re-
sponded in a brief and appropriate man
ner, returning his thanks to the Conven-
ton for this renewal of their confidence
in his Congressional course and hoped
that the future might find him ever en-
~deavoring to secure the prosperity and
success of Democracy.
Mr. Emerson, offered the following
resolutions which were adopted:
RESOLVED, That we view with pride the
consistent course of the Democratic par
ty, from its earliest organization, through
all the violent political controversies, up
to the present time. That nothing but
adherence to unchanging and uniform
tion to the name and dignity of a party,
and that we do most emphatically repu-
diate all efforts to destroy the harmony
and strength of the Democracy by the
introduction of local and side issues, I'M
der whatever name; and that we regard
every man who makes, any such attempt
as unworthy the confidence of the de-
mocracy.
ReSolUed, That while we may differ,
as Democrats, in regard to the effects of
the Nebraska bill, we can see no good
that will arise to us by fusing with bolt
ers of any kind for the defeat of the de-
mocraey.
Resolued, That the territorial policy
of the present administration presents
considerations upon which Democrats do
and may differ, and we deem it ~inexpedi-
ent to hold them politically responsible
for their individual opinions upon that
question.
Resolued, That the best test of q
democrat is an u~nscratched ticket.
On motion a Congressional committee
of two from each county was appointed

SKIES BRIeHr.

During the past week we passed
through the townships of Hanover and
Green, in the south part of this county,
and had the pleasure of taking by the
hand many of the sterling Democrats of
that region. " Old South Carolina " is
mp in arms, ready for the enemy, and if
any stray Fusionist should happen to
visit Green, he will not find any of the
Democracy there "green" enough to
bite at any Of his bates. They want no
Instructions from any quarter as to how
they shall vote, believing themselves
fully competent to do theirown thinking.
They stand united as one man, and will
administer a dose to the Fusionists that
will teach them better manners than to
come into their townships begging votes
for Wing ofice-hunters. Depend upon
it, the Fusion q consarn " finds no friends
IN that quarter. Our word for it, the
Democratic majorities in the southern
townships of this county will be larger
than usual. Many old-Iine, National
Wings, refuse to join in with the Fusion
coalition, to degrade the once powerful
and national Wing party into a mere
sectional party, formed solely to help

THE SMALL NOTE Law.

In another column will be found the
law prohibiting the circulation of small
notes in this State after the 1st of Octo-
Der, passed by the last Legislature.
The effect of this law will be to drive
from the State any amount of Indiana
money and other worthless trash, and
eventually give US a currency of our
own, as well as to bring into circulation
more Gold and Silver. Indiana money
is utterly worthless No farmer or me-
chanic should keep a dollar of it in his
possession. The old State bank and its
branches are current at present-all
others are doubtful.

NEW YoRK Politics.

JUDGE BRONSON, of New York, has
been nominated by the Hards for Gov
ernor of that State. He expresses him.
self strongly in favor of delivering up
fugitive slaves, and thinks the law should
be faithfully executed. On the "ques-
ton Ut issue" as the Fusionists say,
he is decidedly in favor of allowing
the people of every State and Territory
to regulate their domestic institutions
for themselves, instead of carrying such
matters into the halls of Congress, where
they have already proved a dangerous
bone of contention ;"
The following is an extract from his
letter, which, we think, will meet the
approval of all men of all parties. and
we particularly call the attention of the
Fusionists to at least the " first reading ~
of the article:
"The practice of giving pledges to
suit the views of particular classes of
electors is ono Of recent date, and has
Tor the most part, beer introduced by
men of doubtful character. It has OF

him than to trust in promises. None

FUSION DAGUEnREorxPED.

We once heard an anecdote which il
Illustrates the present condition of the
Fusion party exactly. An oldish couple
had been joined in the holy bonds of
matrimony but a short time, when the
wife thought she discovered some signs
of dissatisfaction on the part of the hus-
band in fact, there had been some lit
tie family jars, and she took the liberty
to question him upon the matter. He
renewed his assurances of attachment,
and said that her fears were. unfounded
But it was not long before she again ex-
pressed her doubts as to the durability
of his love vows, when he was equally
prompt in assuring her that his attach
ment was undying. A third time she
frankly told him she believed he did not
love her. To this he replied in a half
doubling manner, that he did love her,
+" but its Id hard work" We hope
our Wing and Free Soil friends are not
making such hard work of it.
