What IS 10 be gained by TINS agitation
Sandtsky Democrat, 2ld.
We will try and tell the democrats Of
Sandusky County, "what is to be gained by
this agitation" if it is successful, or what
will be lost to item if the present running
policy is continued
In the first place, what is to be gained ?
The election OF honest, faithful and eff
cient men to ill the offices of our County,
State, and Nation. Men who are pledg
ed Internationally to the re-establishment
Of the Missouri Compromise, on the line of
80 deg. 80 min, and who will never con-
sent TO have the purity of the Kansas soil
desecrated BY the foot of the slave holder.
By it we elect such men as Campbell, Har-
rison, Taylor, Ball, Wade, Giddngs and
others, who spoke and voted against the
passage of the Kansas and Nebraska bill
Men who know they are amenable to the
People for their acts, and arc always ready
and willing to be instructed by their con
stituents in regard 10 their votes. BY it we
shall elect 10 the Supreme Bench, man
who is worthy of the station, who cannot be
warped from the right, BY prejudice or
gold who will never be found so beasty
intoxicated as to incapacitate him from full
filling his official duties. BY it we shall
elect member of the Board of Public
Works who will have a careful eye to the
expenditure Of the Peoples money; who
will not suffer hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars TO 60 to Gil the pockets of the rob-
bers who now assail the Treasury. 10
truth, there will be MEN elected who feel
that the good name ofthe North is at stake
Not doughfaces, and trcksters, who bow
the knee supplant to the slaveocracy Of the
Pierce and Douglasites.
On the contrary, if thr movement is not
united in by the people, if they stand aloot
from this matter and through their supine-
ness allow the traitors, ike Disney, Olds,
! Green, and Shannon TO be returned TO Con.
gress with compatriot doughfaces and trick
sters, Kansas will be made Slave State,
the Missouri Compromise will never be re-
established; Cuba, Hayti. st. Domingo
Porto Rico, and other Of the West India
Islands with Mexico and the valley of the
Amazon are to be acquired for The slave
holders to enlarge their "peculiar insttu-
tion," and bind scourge and kill their own
sons and daughters. Freedom will be
driven out and our boasted land Of liberty
become n reproach and by-word TO the ma
tions of the earth. Then dishonest men will
! give loose reins to those who plunder and
steal the peoples money. The Union be
| dissolved and the nation become bankrupt
You will elect to the Supreme Bench of tie
State such men as Finn and Corwin who go-
ry in the disgrace and shame ofintrxica ion,
degrading themselves below the level Of
beasts, and dishonoring the name Of Ohio.
| You viii elect, to disburse the funds of the
State, men who dare not have their acts
and doings investigated by the Legislature,
leas; their corruption and dishonesty be
brought to light In full, if you come not
to the help of the right you say to the par
ty now in power steal and rob all you can,
/
disgrace the state and ruin its policy and
institutions all you can. !
Thus we think the question "What is to
be gained % is answered. Which course
do the people intend to pursue? One will
lead to success, prosperity and honor, the
other to disgrace, bankruptcy and ignomi-
ny. Which will you choose?
