ical individuals styled delegates, assembled in
the Public Church, in Eaton, for the purpose
of appointing Delegates 10 the great State
Convention which is to assemble al Columbus
on the 18th inst, for the purpose of forming a
ncp party. There were in attendance SIR OF
eight Free Sellers or old Abolitionists, three
or four democrats, and tirsnty or thirty called
in other Gays, chigs, among the lStter number,
our friends DRAYER, OGDEN, the late Proprie-
tor and the present Proprietor and Editor Of
the Register, and a few other of the wire
workers and managers. Officers were appoint
ed and speeches made by Messrs. Drayer, Har.
riSon and Reverend Q. W. SWAIN. We think
The latter gentleman might have been better
employed, particularly as he was by appoint
ment, 10 fill the pulpit in the NJ. e. hurch on
the following day. However, in these latter
days, Preachers, the self-styled vicegerants Of
the Almighty, have a happy faculty Of enga-
ging il political contests sir days OF the week,
in order 10 fit them for the service Of their
Master ] Jehovah, the seUsnth! The proceedings
were Characterised by no enthusiaSm-a gloom
seemed 70 hang over the minds of those pres
ent-a fearful foreboding that the people Of
Preb'e county would not be willing TO ratify
the bargain and sale then and the e consul
mated. In the afternoon o tohig, or what used
10 be a wing, remarked that ''the marriage
pas efectsd'-the wings and Free Sellers were
united and moving tremendously together in
solid phalanx! We shall see into this matter
a little farther by aud by Are the wings and
Free Sellers "mGrried a? who published the
bans! The Clique 1! Who performed the
ceremony, Revs. c. W. Swain and Harrison 4!
Who Witnessed the giving away ofthe bride,
Drayer, Ogden, the Editor and Publisher ofthe
Register and a few Others cognizant of the IN
tention evidenced for month or two past to
effect such a union at any and all hazards J.
Will the people Of this County permit trO or
three men in Eaton, or that many hundred, TO
sell them body and breaches to the Free Soil
party, in order tina. their own schemes may be
carried into successful operation. 1t has
been proclaimed publicly in the streets OF Ea-
ion, that the Free Sellers irOuld not support
the uphig ticket, unless they received as a sine
qui non, one Of the county offices! Who ofthe
wing candidates for Office is to be sacrificed
to crafty that partyl What victim was con-
templated when the ''marriage'' was consul
There is trouble brewing. The
wings of Preble County cannot be sold out in
such manner by any of the toire tcorkers in Ea-
ton,-they are Freemen yet, and think and
act for themselves, and will never bow to the
yoke in meek submission. The flimsy veil Of
opposition 10 the "New Briska' measure, will
not avail The Clique in this bold attempt to
the Freeman Of Preble County into
he embrace OF Free Soilism or dbohtionism -
A bitter hatred exists between the rank and
lie of the wing party and the Free Soil party
the former accuse the latter OF being the
cause Of all recent defeats and the latter have
.auntingly replied it was their design to sUal-
oD up the wing partyl Whether oil and
water can now be made to unite, remains to
be seen. Now that the ''mdrTiGge' is con-
summated, we may look with interest for fur
Their Developments. If the Clique are sue
,essful this fall, the honest portion ofthe wing
party in other sections of the county need not
any station of honor or profit, until the
cormorahts and wire workers are satisfied
We had thought after last falps defeat, the
Clique was dead, but from recent indications,
and particularly the events Of last Saturday,
are compelled TO any other conclusion. We
bought from the course pursued by the Greg
steY'' under its new editor, that a bold scheme
vas in contemplation to swindlc the people,
md when the fact is taken into consideration
hat, the nominating elections were put of to
IN indefni'e period, through the influence and
lid Of certain men in Eaton, the scheme be-
comes apparent, and as one by one the events
ranspire and ale fulfilled, opinion becomes re-
llity and conjecture stubborn fact. As we are
informed, the next thing is 10 be Convention
or the nomination of candidates, and to that
Effect, trickery is now in operation, and we ad-
wise the people to be on their guard. We shall
the proceedings published in The "RegiS-
and may then have something more to
'ay when placing them before our readers as
we intend TO do. Here is a field for the new
and Proprietor of the "Register," their
and owners, the Clique, and all their
and puppies. We shall give them a
good time the approaching campaign, exposing
the schemes to which they assist and lend
, willing hand in order TO elevate some men and
dorn others! In compelling the Greg
to change hands, We think the people
The county 'tjumpe out of the frying pan
INTO the fire." if we may judge from recent
movements. Whatever may be the result and
consequences, we shall expose all the r~ascality
,oncocted and attempted to be carried out by
he clique in Eaton. If the people will be
well, if they will not hearken the re.
possibility must remain with them. 1t will
,e however, a beautiful theme for contempla-
ion, that too or three hundred Free Sellers,
wallowed up almost that many thousand
through the aid Of the Eaton wire
We suppose our wing friends will
ave a good time this fall, ~rallying TO the sup
