In the county. No better choice cOold have
been made. "a A -
GEORGE HKATH the candidate for Com
missioner, is gentleman who will ever DC
found true to the interests Of the county he
will make good officer. -r---
EnAsrus CARTER, is the candidate for Dr.
rector of the County Infrmary, has already
served the people in that capacity for one
term. His past fAithfulness is a sufficient
guarantee that he is honest and capable.
SETH NORTON candidate for Coroner, is a
good man, and will not be found wanting in
the performance Of his official duties.
The candidates upon the ticket, are all Of
them popular and able men,-men in whom
the people Of Portage County may rePose
confidence. They can and will be elected.
All that is required of Democrats to secure
success, is vigilance and industry. Let no
man be idle. Only few days are left us.
In this short time, let each township and
district be thoroughly organized. Let every
man be at work. BY this means success
will be rendered certain, and our triumph
will be an honor, of which Democrats may
be proud.

Don't Barter.

We understand, that our opponents, are
offering to vote for the Democratic candi-
dates, for part of the Offices, provided,
Democrats will vote for the fusion candi-
dates for the other part. Let there be no
bargains and sales. No true hearted and
independent Democrat, will sell his princi-
Piles or his vote. The fusionists, by maxi
ing such an offer, shows that the spoils of
Office, and not principle, is their object.
Our candidates are all good men. If
Democrats are true to their principles, they
will all be elected by triumphant major
ity. We feel confident Of success. From
every part Of the county, and district, we hear
the most cheering news. Democrats are
united in heart and hand. They will stand,
and fight, and be victorious together! .

To the Democrats Of Portage
COunty.

In six days from this date, the Democrats
of Ohio, will be called upon to discharge
the most important duty of citizenship. The
principles of the several officers to be elect
ed will determine the character of the ad-
ministration of State and County affairs. Is
every Democrat awake to the Importance of
his duty upon that day ! Has he done, and
is he doing all that lies in his power to Sc
cure the success of the Democratic ticket !!
Our opponents are using every means,
both fair and foul, to carry the election
against us. They are not open and manly
in the contest, but dishonest and secret in
their work. By the circulation Of false state
ments about our candidates, by the use of
means which they dare not make public,
they hope to poison the public mind, and
thereby be successful in carrying out their
corrupt purposes. . ...
Let Democrats be on their guard. Be yig-
liant, Industrious, and earliest in your labors
for SUCCESS. Let every man be at the polls
at an early hour, and after depositing his own
vote, let him see that every other Democrat
in the township does the same. Such a
course will insure the triumphant election Of
our ticket. Our principles are right--our
cause is good one--and the victory will be
ours on the second Tuesday of October.

PUT DOWN Portage County Dem. -
There you are you have shown your hand
now, Mr.. HALL and you may retire. So it
seems you are in favor of religious PersecU-
tion, "The catholics must be put down !"
We had always supposed that this was land
of religious freedom, but it has been reserved
for the mighty genius of LYMAN w. HALL
to discover that it is a land Of religious des-
potism II 10 reserved for the Fusion party
to make ssar on the rights Of eOnseienee They
are unwilling that man shOuldlworshiP God
according to the dictates of his own con-
science. And this is the "God and Liberty
party--the party which holds itself to be
pure while all other men are corrupt. II re-
ligious persecution is their watchword as
they have now proclaimed it to be, the peo-
pie may be thankful, that the Fusionists are
not in power. ..a --
Religious freedom is a sacred right of the
American people.
The Democratic party have ever advoca-
ted this right. A man may be catholic or
Protestant, and still enjoy the privileges Of
a citizen. Religion is matter between
man and his God; and we are sorry that
man of the intelligence and pretended hon.
esty Of LYMAN w. HALL should be the first
to advocate persecution against our fellow
citizens on account of their religious views.
We do not defend any religious creed. AS
a politician we shall never take sides upon
this question. We are in favor of religious
freedom, and ever shall be, SO long as we
prefer republicanism to despotisIn!
We cannot close this article more appro-
priately, than by quoting an extract from the
writings of GEORGE WAsHTNGToN. We COM
mend them to the candid consideration Of
the public: .. ......- .t ...-.
"The Irish volunteers merit the warmest
thanks of America for their patriotism; and
hope that there countrymen who have long
struggled for liberty, will be Hospitality and
cordially received here"
Again on another occasion he used the
following patriotic language:
"The bosom Of America is open to re-
ceiye not only the opulent and respectable
stranger, but The oppressed and prosecuted OF
ALL NATIONS AND OF ALL RELI-
GIONS, whom zoe shall a0ecome to a pGrttci-
patton in all our rights and privileges.

Applying the Gag.

We attended the Fusion meeting at the
Town Hall last Friday evening, to hear LEI-
TER, Brown and others advocate the claims
of their party Ntl6 Ikti
Mr.. LETTER was the first to address the au-
dience. His speech was dully uninteresting
affair, without either argument or life.
He was followed by o. P. BRowN. Mr..
BRowN's speech was a compound of false
hood, ridicule, blackguard end boasting, and
was apparently well pleasing to the fusion
lists assembled to hear him. -, ,4,a
We ought not to omit the fact, that during
the remarks of both these gentleman, two
or three Democrats who desired to question
the speakers, were hissed doagn by the audience.
This was the most animated part Of the, pro-
ceedings, and shows Fusionists to be men Of
perseverance and energy. e ....roa
1t has been said that the Democrats desir-
ed to break up the meeting. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. The speakers
had made assertions which were known to be
false, and the only object of the Democrats
was to make the proper corrections. For
this reason, and this only, the questions were
put by Mr.. HARRIS and others
This was the first political meeting we
have ever attended where the speakers refus--
ed to be'questioned, or the audience refused
to permit explanations or corrections. I
The fusionists, have now presented them
selves in theirtrue colors. They have shown
themselves to be opposed to free speech, and
free discussion. d They evidently dare not al
low an investigation of their principles and
conduct They had SO little confidence in
the ability and honesty of tlsfssir speakers that
they were afraid to have them questioned up
on the topics under discussion. They there
fore adopted the cOpardly course of prevent
ing any questions from being asked.
We cannot bellte that such conduct wilE
do them any@O pod. The choking down., and
gagging principle which they have adopted
shows that there Is something rotten and
corrupt in their views and policy 53ay
Had they been conscious Of the. purity Of
heir motives, and the soundness Of their
principles-had the speakers possessed the
confidence Of their audience they would, have
invited, discussion instead of attempting to
suppress it. Itwas fear, nothing but craven
fear, that led them to. pursue such dishon-
orable course TOW ards.th Democrats.-

~ am q DcmOcrat.n

~ am Roman CITIZEN" in the days Of
Rome's glory, was a passport throughout the
world, for every man who could lay just
claim to that title. 1t was boast of which
every citizen of that empire might be proud.
But the boast, 81 am Democrat" is one OF
which an American citizen may be equally
proud. .... .-a..-
No matter in what part of the Union he
may be found. if he is true and independ-
ent Democrat, he is at once recognized as
the friend and advocate of equal laws, equal
privileges and equal taxation; as a man who
has confidence in the intelligence and patri-
otism of the American people, and their abil-
ity to govern themselves; as a man who
"holds that the government should know no
man in the enactment of laws"-that all
"citizens whether native born or naturalzed
should enjoy equal privileges"-that our
country should be the home of the oppressed
and prosecuted of other lands-that all men
have right to "worship Almighty God ac-
cording to the, dictates of their own con-
science" and that each State has a right to
determine its own local institutions.
With such principles engraven upon his
heart, and carried out in his life and actions,
he may we'll be proud of his position as a
Democrat, and as the citizen of republic
where democratic principles bear sway.

Organize! ORGANIZED!

It is time for our democratic friends to be
wide awake, and at work to secure the elec-
ton of the Democratic ticket. Let each
man consider himself as in duty bound to do
something towards our success. EACH TOWN.
SHIP. SCHOOL DISTRICT AND NEIcHBoRHooD,
SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY ORGANIZED, and this
organization should be attended to immedi-
atsly. Every democrat can do something to-
wards this object. Let each man spend at
least part of his time, between this and the
election, in working for the success of DEM
ocratic principles and policy. Vigilance is
sure guarantee of success.
The weekly Portage sentinel. [volume] (Ravenna, Ohio) 1854-1861, 1854-10-04
Vote the Whole Ticket.

The Democratic party is worth preserV-
ing-the interests of the Country are worth
preserving. They have been subserved BY
Democratic measures and policy in time
past. SO they will be subserved by Demo-
cratic policy in future. But in order to ac-
complish this, the &sages Of the party must
be kept up. Every voter who has Demo-
ocratic blood in his veins should forget all
personal considerations and vote an an-
scratched ticket! Let our motto be "the tick
ct the whole ticket and nothing but the
Democratic ticket" Listen not to the
words of designing men who would love
nothing better, than to dethrcne the DEM
ocracy from the popular heart, Democrats
can never gain anything by barter Our
principles are neither fashionable nor nego-
table. They cannot bo bought or sold.
"Stand by them, Democrats! They are
honorable, true, honored and eternal!'

FalsehOods Contradicted.

The Democrat of this week charges that
there is an agreement between Mr.. Loomis
and Mr.. Harris, whereby the latter is to be
appointed Deputy in case Loomis is elected.
That assertion is unqualifedLy talse-a lie
made out of ,chole cloth. No such agreement
was ever made between Messrs. Loomis and
Harris. Such thing was never thought of
by them.
The Democrat charges that Mr.. Loomis
and his friends, are proposing to swap votes
for any man on the Fusion Ticket, to secure
votes for himself.
That is another lie. Democrats never
buy or sell their principles or votes. They
leave bargains and sales to be made by the
fusionists.
The Democrat makes similar charges
against Messrs. Heyd and Hopkins. Tlese
charges are also false. Mr.. Hall pays far
more regard to the "spoils Of Office" than to
words of struth and soberness." No won
der he was "turned out'' of church.
There are many other statements in the
Democrat in regard to Messrs. Spalding,
Clark, Loomis, Harris, Heyde, Hopkins and
others, which are unfounded in fact, and un-
sustained by evidence. But we will not
take the trouble to reply to them. The char
acters of these gentlemen are we'll known.
They possess the confidence and respect OF
the people, and no lying ISLANDERS circulated
by the Democrat or the Fusion party, can do
them any injury. ....
