The nFraionn Candidate.

iAV ~Ne4SA NduuAudlcos
The Amalgamatlon Convention which as
sembled at Columbus on the 18th inst, nomi-
mated for Supreme Judge, JosEPu R. SWAN, OF
Franklin county, and Tor member of the
Board OF Public Works, JACOB BLIcKESsLER
FER, ir., Of TuScarawaS. The former a rene
g&e Hemocrat, and the latter q Wing of the
same sort. We entertain not a doubt # their
defeat. If the past is any criterion by which
to judge of the future, VT predict the defeat
OF these ',fHSion' candidates by an overwhelm-
ing majority. The same game was attempted
to be played off upon the people Of the State,
last fall, in the selection of a Teachers can
didate for Common School Commissioner, and
a Free Soil candidate for Lieutenant Cover
nor. Both candidates were signally defeated,
and The illusion" Indignantly vebuked, There
are hundreds and thousands ofNNtionalWhigS
in Ohio, who will repudiale the action of the
Convention, and vote for democratic men and
measures in preference TO the fOnatical, ruin
Gus policy advocated by the Aboliticnists,
who alone are TO be benefited eventually by
the proceedings of the Convention of the 18Th
Gay Of July. There are hundreds and thou
sands of Wings in Ohio, who are not base
enough to lick the hand that smites, and who
never will support the candidates of a party
who has destroyed the Nationality of The wings
as a party, and now seek 10 lesr a towering
superStructnre, devoted TO AbolitioniSm, Fa.
naticism and Treason, on its ruins!
Defeat, certain and overwhelming awaits
Swan and BLlcKENSDERFER! So it should be,
and so it will be, and in the indignant rebuke
Of their lellow-citizens, expressed through the
hallot-boxes, these traitors TO their party, and
tools of lanaticism, will meet their just and
deserved reward. The fate Of ANDREWS and
Bliss should have proved a warning 10 all
other a%spirants in all time TO come, but the
%salutaiy lessons of experience have been lost
upon these aspirantS for Office, and as they
sow to the wind, they must expect 10 reap the
whirlwind. When men attempt to obtain Of
fee through the assistance Of demagogues and
'ricksters, a union Of all the fag ends of all
parties--all the refuse and oJfaH of all ismS
I augurs unfavorably for their reputation and
speaks agains. them as public officers, TO-.
they who seek 10 obtain Office by dishonest
means, viii be very apt 10 prove dishonest in
office. Taking the past as an index to the Ju-
turc, there could no event have occurred, more
favorable 10 the success Of the democratic
nominees, than the assembling and results o!
the "Fusion" Convention of the 18th inst.
Of course the ai'erS and abet!orS OF Adolf
tlonism and niggerology, those who wanted a
pretext TO join fanaticism and advocate Free
SoiliSm and SectionaliSm, will whistle 10 keep
their courage up, and assert that great una
nimity and enthusiasm prevails in behalf OF
their nominees, and that they will be trium-
phantly elected! Believe it not. The peo-
pie of Ohio will never evince great unanimity
and enthusiasm in favor OF political rascahty,
and as the Fusion Convention was brought
about by wire-workers and aspirants for of.
fee, who were willing to sell their old princi.
Piles, and barter Of their party for a mess of
pottage, we cannot believe the people WILDE
slow to discover The v%illainy, nor tardy in re
buking it. Fusion democrats, or wings, or
free soiIers may prate about the popularity of
their nominees, and their irrepToachable repu-
tat;on, but being found in such company, and
the leaders of such a crew of dissatisfied spir-
its, will be no recommendation to homes. men
Of any party. When all old issues and an
togonistic principles are made to harmonize
for the sake Of office and public plumber, there
is something wrong, and the people will GER
tainIy make the discovery. and apply the REM
edy at the ballot boxes. We repeat again, the
Fusion nominees will be overwhelmingly de-
fedted!! Mark that!
