Lest any one should think our com
positors hacking in duty, in setting the

the most unessential technicalities, as far

dare take upon ourselves the responsible

Resofred, That we regard slavery as
an evil, whose extension should be
checked by all constitutional means.
Resotred, That we rega,d popular SOW
ereignty as the fundamental prin 'iple of
the republic, as great democratic prin-
clple. and the only true basis upon which
the best interests of freedom can be Sc
cured constitutionally and permanently.
RcSofred, That the Democratic ,arty
know no North and no South, but the
Union, no birthplace and no particular
religion, but the man; and that every
attempt to diSfranchise a part of the
people on account of their birth or relig-
lous opinions will meet the unreseryed
condemnation Of the Democracy, as such
an illlberaL unconstitutional, anti Amer
lean and anti-Democratic movement
justly deserves.
Resotred That VIC regard the public
lands as the national domain, to be for
no speculative purposes, but reserved for
the free access of the people for occu-
pancy and cultivation.

A word to Young Men.

1t is important that young men just en-
teripg upon the performance of their duties
as citizens, should form just and liberal
views of the government, and the principles
necessary to be carried out, to secure its per-
manence. A free toleration of all religions,
is fundamental doctrine of the constitu-
ton. AS the young men of the country
love the constitution and the liberties which
itsecures to US, SO should they frown upon
any attempt to form or perpetuate secret po-
litlcal organizations, the object of which is
to create religious tyranny and oppression.
A youhg man shonld entertain no politi-
cal sentiment which he dare not openly avow.
Whatever concerns the rights and liberties
of the eo2le should be made public, that
an opportunity may be given for full and
fair discussion of its merits.
To the young men Of Portage county we
would say, adopt no political creed which
you dare not openly defend. Be frank and
manly in the performance Of your civil du-
ties. The present time affords a good op-
portunity for active effort upon your part
Avoid all parties whose sole object is pow
er. Learn to be National in your views
and feelings. If you are Democrat, re-
member that you stand pledged in favor Of
equal laws, equal taxation, and equal and
exact justice to all men," SO far as regards
social, civil and religious privileges.
Labor earnestly and diligently for the sue
cess of these principles. Be vigilant be
active.

vor Of more stringent liquor law. He re-
gretted the subject had not been in more
able hands last winter, and more stringent
law passed; that where he lived they called

Temperance man, and always had been;"
said!he was elected temperance Mayor Of
Canton last spring, by unanimous vote, and
had been, ,putting.the liquor men through ever
since; consequently he was the most popular
man that ever lived in'Stark county.
Being asked il he wRs'dFunk at Alliance,
at our Convention, he said he drank nothing
but little re1Uhae, for the bewel complaint.
He said he had never been accustomed to
use liquor, and for seVeraly years he had not
drank drop, except on the prescription OF
physician. He saidlhe wGs man of 'un-
exceptionsble moral character; they had'fif.
teen churchesin Canton, and he was accus-
toned to attend them all.
His whole speech was mode up of 1ust
such statements. He thinks we Yankees

about October. We are raising parse this

Piercite nominee for Congress, was in Ak

paLy of fierce Nebraska Democrats, DE-

"CoURrIHe THE CATHoLrcs.-Mr. SfAED-
ING visited Akron last week, and being a
stranger there was taken IN BY a aceftain al
phabeficGl specimen Of humanity, and intro
duced to the leading Catholics Of the place.
The form of fntroductioh was this: M.
SpaldiaS, this Is Mr.. "A. b. A BROTHER cath
olic
The first charge made above, is without
a shddow'of truth; So also is the second.
Mr.. SPALDIEe made no assertion in regard
to the Nebraska bill, one way or the other
and the statement that he did '"declare him.
self IN favor Of the Nebraska bill" Is lie
made out of whole cloth. His sentiments
upon the slavery question are set forth in tc
days paper. He regards the institution Of
shvety as an evil, and will use all eonsti.
tutional means to keep it from spreading
over territories now free. Wepresume thai
like other sensible men, he regards the Ne
braska issue which the Fusionists try to force
upon us as useless, and mere excuse re-
sorted to by them for getting into Office.
Mr.. SPALDIEG was not introduced as ,
catholic to any one. and has never claimed
to be one, for the purpose of getting catholic
votes. He is however, in favor of religion
freedom, while the Fusionists are in favor o
religious despotism. This is the difference
I between them.
