Our Town.

The editor Of the Sandusky Register at
tended the late Judicial Convention, and
took look at our town. On his return
the following Aattering notice Of it appeared
in his daily. Surely he is candid and just
to us, and we hope his remarks will do
away all local antipathy that few of our
citizens seem to entertain:
FREMoNr.-During brief visit 10 our
sister town, the other day, we were impress
sed with the evidences OF thrift apparent
on every hand. The late fire which swe pt
off several buildings in the centre of the
place, including the extensive mercantile
establishment of Messrs. o. l.. Minis & Co,
has served to clear the GROUND for splen-
did block OF brick stores, of which two be-
long to David Belts, two to James Moore,
and one each to Messrs. Lesher and Russell,
making six in all. Mr.. Minis is redirivus
in a magnificent block adjacent to his old
stand. in which he is to have mercantile
house on a mammoth scale. Included in
this block the Banking House of Messrs.
Minis. Tillotson & White is to be located in
splendid suite Of rooms, with fire proof
vault, &c. These blocks are got up in a
style OF architecture which would do credit
10 any city in the State. The execution Of
one of them we found under the supervis.
ion of an old acquaintance, Mr.. Russell,
with whom the writer has driven the plane
and saw in former land not less happy
tdays The residence of R P. Buckiand,
Esq, is one of the most complete aud con-
venient in its appointments. to be found in
the country. 1t is substantial brick edi-
fee. with arrangements for warming by a
furnance, for bathing, supply of water in
every apartment when it is needed, both
hot and cold, and indeed but little is omit
ted which would be desirable 10 the way Of
convenience or comfert, in its place. We
are pleased to note these evidences Of pros
perity among our upstream neighbors-
As it is in the centre of farming region

joys fine trade without competition, and
will no doubt, continue to flourish while ite
business interests remain in the hands Of

People,s Convention .

1t will be seen by our paper to-day that
the Republican Central Committee have
issued call for County Convention to be
held on the 22d inst, in Fremont We
hope the people throughout the county will
bear i: in mind. and come up here on that
day with determination to work for the
good ofthe County until after the election.
Perhaps it may be said that nothing can
be accomplished against our enemies, but
We are not among those who think so.--
The Republican party in Sandusky County
can elect their men il they have only will
to do il, and the Nebraska men fear the is
sue. Let US meet them then, and if are
defeated, ne will have the satisfaction of
having discharged our duty as freemen. In
so good a cause, defeat will be no disgrace.

We understand from members Of The
Bar, that John Fitch would have been nom
mated for the Supreme Bench by the Dem
ocratic party. had il not been for his profes-
sion Of Free Soil doctrines.
One ofthe objections mnde in the Leg

Fitch would be elected TO fill the place.

John Fitch,

This gentleman was nominated candidate
for Judge Of the Court Of Common Pleas, by
the Peoples C onven,ion, on the 7th inst, and
we have accordingly placed his name in the
Ticket, at the head of this column.
We have not the pleasure Of personal ac-
quaintance with him, but il the staten ents Of
his neighbors are taken, the selection was a
most fortunate one. Mr.. Fitch's qualifi ca
tions, his age, his long residence in Ohio, and
his perfect acquaintance with the forms and
rules for administering justice ir this State, his
moral worth and good name at home, all point
him out for the station.
He is an unflinchng friend of Freedom and
ther the Board of Public Works, State polit-
cions, or Pierce or Douglas, have been able to
choke the expression of his real sentiments. If
the people OF this Judicial District, will now be
true 10 their own best interests, MIR. Fitch will
be elected, and the following good results will
be gained.
We shall have good Judge holding his seat
by the will of the people, unframed and untram.
mellsd by the dominant tyranical and corrupt
party. His election will demonstrate the prac-
ticability of harmonious action, by good men OF
ali parties, to right political abuses. And last,
though not least, by his election, the District
will speak emphatically for Freedom, and
against the nest and most corrupt admin.
istration that has ever disgroced the country.
The following article from the Toledo Blade,
gives just discrimination between our candi-
date, Mr.. Fitch and Mr.. Cooley, the Slaveo.
cratic candidate:
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1854-09-15
John Fitch and Thomas nj. Cooley,

We place at the head of our columns
she name Of John Fitch, who was yesterday
nominated at Fremont for the Office of Ad-
dilional Judge in this Judicial District, of
Common Pleas.
We have had long acquaintance with
John Fitch, nearly twenty years and cheer
fully recommend him as suitable in every
respect to fll this responsible station.
His competitor is Thomas N. Cooley ,aSo
a gentleman with whom we are familiarly
acquainted. Mr. Cooley has been resi-
dent of Adrian, Michigan till within year
past, where he is favorably known.
Mr. Fitch. so far as a long residence il
Ohio. familiarity with the duties of the Of
fee. the laws Vf the State, and the practice
in the Courts: so far as mature years and
an established reputation within The District
are concerned, has far superior claims to
bis competitor
Mr.. Cooley has been nominated doubt
less on account Of bis former procliyilies
to Free Soil, in order that the Barnburner
Democrats may be seduced into his support.
We propose to strip that argument Of its
sophistry. Mr. Cooley's name and weight
is thrown entirely into the scale Of Slavery
Propagandism, by allowing himself thus TO
be used. He endorses General Pierce's Ad
ministration. Fugitive Slave Law. and all
He endorses the proceedings Of the Admin.
islraiion, generally. The supporters Of Mr.
Cooley expect for him support outside
and distinct from the vote Of the party
II is Just such men as Mr.. Cooley who have
done the most possible mischief to the
North. Theoretically opposed TO Slavery,
practically they send men to Congress to
support il. As long as men preach &C
aquiescence and submission, preach at the
North the doctrine, that a man can ayow
any opinion he pleases and be equally
good Democrat. whils al the South no iati-
tuis Of opinion is alto,0sd, Just so long we
shall be held under the iron heel Of Slavery.
We say that the man who runs on an ad.
ministration ticket for Judge. endorses doc.
trines so enormous that no Northern mar
ought to support him. The Fugitive Slave
Law tries mans right to liberty by ezparte
evidence; II subverts all the rules Of pro-
cedurs 10 Courts Of Common Law; II
iramples on the Rights Of Trial BY Jury,
and the Wrs Of Habsas Corpus; ii ouirsges
and insults all the instructive and honorable

Principles not Men. .
EARL BILL, !
o. E. KELLOGG, :

The wiley selfish partisan has every in
ducement to cultivate hypocrisy. BY be-
ing cautious in the declaration of sentiment
or opinion, by keeping silent and watching
until he finds what is current with his party,
he secures an apparent consonance with 1t
and passes for genuine, let his real convic-
tions Of duty, or his opinions Of men and
measures be ever so adverse to those he is
required to advocate or support Political
success, money, or imaginary honors glitter
along the tortious path of wrong and in
trigue; his better nature is overcome and he
starts off in pursuit Of the prize, regardless
of the admonitions of conscience, or judg-
ment and reckless of the consequences to
bis own future peace-to his country, to
humanity.
These persons. once fairly on the way,
use every device to draw followers after
them. They will adopt any word or phrase
which has charm for the bystanders.
Their tongues are practiced in the utter
ance of Freedom" Democracy" Princi-
Piles not men," Equal and exact justice to
all men," and as it were on their frontlets
and all over their garments catch-words,
and popular phrases are written.
Let community, let the whole country
be aware of such babling things. They
are couuterfeits on good banks, or bogus
coin slightly plated. Our country abounds
with these creatures. They throw them
selves in market by hundreds and ask the
people to receive them as genuine men,
Many of them pass. and are placed in high
stations. Corruption. fraud and disgrace
to the country is the consequence.
But we were speaking of principles NOT
men," 1t is good idea when there is any
danger that principles will be violated, OF
lost sight of in personal attachments.
Taking, however this rule for our guide,
principles, not men," you would ask what
principles?
There is one grand principle which
should always command obedience from
each and every American voter. His
eountry's highest interest and greatest good
Whatever state, party or person forsakes
or dsregards this great principle. no matter
on what pretences, has strayed from the
path that leads to peace purity and happi-
ness, and in case Of party or state, must
be changed, or ruin awaits it.
Wherein lies our country's highest inter-
est and greatest good. is point involving
in the details Of its administration endless
and varied discussion. We can not here
enter far into this discussion, but can, we
think, cite few propositions now before
the people, in which this leading idea is en-
tirely dsregarded.
It's not for the highest or greatest good
Of this State or Nation, to adhere to, sup
port, or countenance a party organization.
