MEssRs EDIroRs :--Wil you announce to
your patrons in Fremont and vicinity, some
of the reasons why we, the bone and sinew
Of the Democratic party, of the town and
county, have set ourselves apart TO do the
work of the country and Of God. Wewere
brought forth to manhood in the arms oi
Republicans; labored with and for the
Democratic party til many Of US are grey
headed have stood by her through all her
victories and defeats, with ever willing
hearts and our shoulders TO the wheel, tc
do the will of the party, desiring the good
Of our whole country, until the party, like
palm tree by the river side, has rooted
deep and its branches have overshadowed
lnrge portion Of this Hemisphere. We
close our DEPRESSION and give our reasons;
l. Because Franklin, the standard bear
err of our dearly beloved and long fought
for party, has openly, most maliciously and
wantonly betrayed us into the bands Of oul
enemies--the siayeocracy.
2. We are. year after year. betrayed by
our National and State Representatives and
in the sessions OF 1854 we have been
most shamcfully betrayed. even till forbear
anee ceases TO be a virtue.
3. Our county paper, the Democrat. was
|
one Of ifnot the pery first to denounce the
aggression Of slavery its then editor, orton
a democrat and a gentlemen. was rabid
against the slave power;i its present editor
also opposed the repeal of the Compromise,
but now swallows il. He also opposed any
aad all Nebraska resolutions in and out OF
our conventions. He now swallows the
bitterest OF all bitter, even to being forsa-
ken by the best men Of bis party; and BY

hard labor. Sandusky Township is only

Do our readers know that a note, con.
tract or written agreement of any kind, for
and in consideration Of which any foreign
bank note, under the denomination Of $40
is paid, is thereby rendered null and void.
Beware, therefore, how you lend your mon-

or whatever it may be. thereby becomes
valueless. If it is proved that you paid or
received the 81 note aforesaid, you cannot
collect your paper by any process of law,
How long will the people of this State
submit to this sort Of legislation. We have
another law which taxes US on all we owe, as
well as all we possess; and fthe democrat
ic leaders had not been defeated by few
Of the rank and file in the last legislature
who combined with the wings against them
we should have had law that would have
taxed the groOirg crops. In that cast
the farmers of this county would hav,
found themselves taxed this fall for thu
supposed value Of their wheat crops which
they never harvested Let every man WHIT
is opposed to these oppressive and uni us
laws, vote against the men and party VIII
made them. Give them, this fall, fore
taste of the vengeance that awaits them q

II seems there are some men in this dis
trict, who have heretofore always acted
with the democracy, and never voting any
other than straight, unscratched ticket.
who have now come 10 the determination,
at whatever cost, to 60 out from that or
ganizatiou, and act no longer with or for it.
The democratic party, through its leaders.
having declared the Nebraska bill TO be
the surest test Of communion, has awak-
ened the indignation which slumbered in
the breasts OF thousands of its 6rm champi-
ons, and throughout the country, every
where. we hear them speaking for freedom
There are thousands and tens of thousands
more. who they dared to speak their true
sentiments would also tell the same story.
AT the ballot hox, however, they can vote
as they have mind. Let every man, then,
who thinks be is wronged and the country
disgraced. by the acts of the administration,
remember this and vote accordingly.
We notice in the Sandusky Register, Of
Tuesday last. a communication from Messrs.
WINTERS and Wilcox, voters of this Con-
gressional district. in which they declare
they cannot and will not endorse the action
Of the convention at Upper Sandusky,
which nominated Mr.. Plants They could
not get hearing through their own Dem
ocratic paper-lhe editor refused to pub,
lish il. The following is the closing para
graph Of their communication:
"The columns of the Mirror are needed
to advocate that which aods wrong, but i,
right, and we are therefore compelled to asl
the use OF the columns Of the Register. IL
say that we will give no vote at the coming
election. which can in any way be taken as
an endorsement of F.W GREENS (the pres
ent Representative Of this District vote on
the Nebraska question. We say further
that whenth Democratic Conrention me
at Upper Sandasky and endorsed said vote
by so doing they severed the last thread o.
the cord which bound us to she support o
the present Democratic ticket And still
further we say that one more cut from
that servie. cringing. bonghten crew o

The CANDIDATES The Toledo Blade
thus puts an extipguisher on the legal hopes
Of Mr.. Cooley;
We understand that it is alleged by the
friends Of Mr.. Cooley, for the Judgeship,
that the Wing and Free Soil awy ers here
will vote for him The assertion is su-
premey preposlerous. No such lawyers,
none, not a single one viii vote for Mr. Cool
ey. On the other hand, several of the old
line administration lawyers will vote for
Mr. Fitch. Such an argument is too spec.
Gus 10 deceive sensible men still we deem it
proper to lay the truth before our parts of
the district
1t might be AIDED that the Bar down
this way is most serious obstruction to the
young mans judicial ASPIRATIONS. The
respect entertained for Mr. Fitch by the
whole legal profession, is such that he has
the sympatbies and support of nearly all
members Of the Bar Mr.. Cooley, we
hear has been prospecting" in this city.
but with poor success, if wejudge from the
very sly manner Of his coming and going.
The election of Mr., Fitch is regarded as
certain BY those most conversant with the
"public pulse Smdusky Register.

MisreprcsentatiOns.

The Toledo Blade says: We learn from
HURoN County that representations are
made there that the opposition 10 the Prop
ngandists in these parts some Of them are
satisfied with Mr.. Cooley, and that few OF
them will vote for him. This is an entire
fabrication. So far from toleratng the
substitution of Mr.. Cooey's name for Mr.
Fitch's, their opposition TO him is unani
nous. Mr.. Cooley, by running on the Ad
ministration Ticket. has Become the adjunc

"crushing out" the Free Sellers. The
voters have no intention of using even /;
nut or bolt of the crushing machine. A
man who seems to sympathize and worl
with them for years, and then turns rounc
and ridicules them. and lampoons them al
"fag ends" will find that there are "heod
iags" to receive, as well as headings tC
constitute for such abuse.
A new crisis in the affairs of the country
has arrived. Whoever is not on the side
Of freedom becomes an advocate for Slave
ry aggression. The Administration !ai
with Joy all accessions of men who prctent
to Free Soil principles, The whole South
Wings and Locos, 60 for Slavery Propa

is entitled to no vote of the friends of free
dom. He he affiliates with their vile oppo
nents, joining them in vile. vindic,ive and
scurrillous abuse Of every man who stand
in their way.

fact, that there is no better enterprise in
which they coull engage than in building
upon the vacant lots, within the corpora

were there one hundred dwellings they
could all be let to good advantage, by the
frst day Of April next. We soy this is a
good enterprise, because the rise Of proper

pay ten per cent. on the capital invested

EE Some discussion, says the Toledo

Mr.. Cooley has resided at Toledo. We
think it cannot be far from eighteen months
since Mr.. Cooley determined to reside here.
whethe. the actual domicl of his family
was here or not In our first article on the
Judgeship We gevc him credit for resi-.
dence Of year only. Inasmueh as the
mere residence, if it answered the Consl-
tutional rcqusiton. We did not intend TO
make an objection, per sc, we have made
no correction. A want Of acquaintance
and familiarity with the district, and its
people. with the practice Of the Courts. (for
questions under the old practice will be
constantly recurring) and with the decisions
and statutes of Ohio. is very serious OBJ
jeclion. If Mr.. Cooley. without having
managed single case before the Courts o
Law in Ohio. is as familiar with all the
complicated and embarrassing questions
that must arise every hour in Court o.
Justice, as John Fitch who on the whole
for EleuTEEs YEARS, has bad the largesl
practice at the bar Of Lucas county. of any
lawyer in Toledo. then be is as competent
10 discharge the duties Of high judicis
station, Otherwise be is not. Mr.. Cooley
since be has resided in the State Of Ohio
has been entirely out Of practice. These
arc facts notorious and undeuied. The
mere statement Is an argument conclusive
on the subject, IL The candidates were en-.
tirely alike in other respects.

EDS. SANDu,KY REGlsrER: A few days
since | was at avendue at the late residence
of Mr.. Merril, in Oxford ownship, and was
much amused to see a-would be leading
Loco, completely used up, who had been
preaching for an hour on tho impossibiity
of Slavery ever going into Kansas and Ne
braska for reasons as follows: Slavery
was creature of Law; there was no Sla-
very there when the Douglas bill passed.
and as the bill did not legslate Slavery in
or out of said territories, slaves could assert
their freedom and leave. and there would
he no law 10 recover them If southern
masters did take their slaves there. the Alb
olitionisls would step in. carry them to Can
ada, and they, the Shareholders, would have
no remedy. in proof Of tho correctness Of
his argument, he said he had conversed
with Mr.. Sherman, and other leading Re-
publican gentleman, and they not only en-
dorsed the above as true, but furthermore,
that the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise
was great triumph for freedom in terri-
tories south OF thirty-six thirty, Just at
this point of his argument or discourse,
! which had warmed him into considerable
eloqucncc, an elder gentleman, who had sat
listening attentively, with out saying word
before stopped him and said: "Sir, have
been resident of Nebraska on the Kansas
River, for Seuenteen years, NY family is
there now, Slavery has been there these
ten years. is there now, and on the increase
daily; and were you to come there, you
would soon find that we had idw to recover
runaway slaves. and il you were to moddle
/ in favor of those runaways, you would
soon be able to testify, by experience, that
we had law enough to end your meddeling." !"
And then turning to those around him said.
"Men may be fools enough to tolerate such
stuff in old Oxford, but if they should ever
come to Kansas or Nebaaska, we would
soon teach them wisdom in relation toyour
Douglas bill" Messrs Editors, our Kan
sas and Nebraska champion, mortified and
COMPOUNDED. settled into silence for the space
Of half an hour. Respectfully,

PRE-JUDeMENTs.- -S Several legal gentle

They assert that they will oppose any man
