ings at Cincinnati, that met some months
ago, discussed the propriety oil making
war upon the Democratic party by nom-
mating and putting on their Ticket
some Of the most popular and talented
Demonstrating out this mean, low
and contemplate mode Of warfare, OF
fraud and deception-these worthless are
low directing their attention to the pre-
pairing of public opinion among the OPP
position. They argue that they go in
for the best men; and against the con.
sent Of those men, steal their names
and put them on their Tickets-for no
other purpose under Heaven than to
destroy the organization Of the Demo.
cratic party and thus succeed in tram.
pling under their feet, when they ride
into power, the very principles that
these best men hold more impor-
tant than any mere personal iavors that
Know NOthingism can bestow. What
beautiful consistency. "VOte for these
best men, Democrats, on our Ticket"
as they say at the polls, but "giue their
principles He'll" How easy this jim
giles! Oh, how consistent!
We think we know enough of Judge
KENoN to say that he will hot thank
Jack of the athens Messenger for at
tempting TO rob him Of his present high
standing among his political friends
We believe Judge KENNoN would spurn
3 nomination from such a source
That this Heing relict Of G'oOnskins
should say that Judge KENNoN was
nominated by the Democratic State
Convention because the party had no
respect for him, was TO be expected,
simply because Jack prefers lie to the
truth; and to say that Judge KENNoN
does not endorse the platform Of the
Convention, is false as He'll itself.
We voted in the Convention for
Judge kENNoN because we knew the
man, that his Democracy never was
doubted, that he is an honest, upright
man, and because he has but few equals
and no Superiors as Jurist in the State
He has ever been respected by the Bar
in his late Common Pleas Circuit, and
the Bar of the State where his profess
sional and official services have been
engaged. Who ever doubted Judge
KENNoN's Democracy? Who ever
heard, in Belmont county or elsewhere,
Of KENNoN voting Whig, Federal,
Know Nothing or other ticket arrayeu
against the Democracy?-not one.
Let Democrats beware Of all this de.
ception to gull them into the support Of
such men as are usually put up against
the Democrats. Don't believe their
hypocritical cant, sworn to in secret;
their object is alone TO defeat your par
ty.

the nominee of the Locoloco State Con

has no sympathy with that party, either
on the slavery question ci the other
wild dogmas Of the party. II is equal
~ well known that he was not placed
upon the 9th of January ticket on ac
count of any love entertsired for him
BY that party. He was nominated on
the grounds, LIST. Because it was thought
that be would add strength TO their
ticket; and I'd, on the ground that they
expected complete overthrow of the
entire ticket. and there was no other
man in their ranks whose overthrow
would cause So little regret on the part
Of the leaders OF that party as that OF
Judge Kennon. The truth is. Judge
Kennon is too good a man to fellowshi p
with such men as MedaU and his school
Of politicians. We should make no OBJ

~Republian ticket, knowing that he does
