| De routed from inc promises. Ihls young
State with her wealth Of resources, needs
State government that shall do something
else than impose toxes. We want Legisla,
ton that shall do something for the sub
stantial interests Of the State. That shall
give us reliable currency. That shall
encourage the development Of our native
resources. Ohio is the giant State Of the
Union---but her young limbs are now
chained and crippled by the legislation of
narrow-minded and bigoted partisans- and
her broad shoulders are bowed to the
earth with the weight Of her taxaiions.---
We want new policy, 10 be inaugurated
by new class Of men. Just such men as
were nominated on the 18th. Forgetting
all party allegiance in their common at
tachments to the interests Of the country
and the State. Men who are the friends
of Freedom, and Justice, and Pighted
Faith; the friends Of Democratic economy
and Low Taxes, and the general interests
of Free Labor.

The time has como for action. A more
thorough organization Of our party should
be effected as soon as possible. Every
member should be fully aroused. The
Convention of the 18th inst, has given us
ticket which is perhaps as generally sat
isfactory as could have been expected
The ticket combines more talent, it is tho't
by many, than has been before the people
of Ohio as candidates since her organiza-
ton as a State. - -l
Mr.. Chase heads the list, and will be
very popular with his party, and with
most Of the Anti-Nebraska men Of all par
ties. Mr.. Chase is not the first choice of
many, yet we think it would be childish
to throw away votes merely because we
have not had things done up precisely to
our fancy. The ticket is good one, a
popular one, all things considered, and we
will support it to the extent Of our ability.
We are willing to sacrifice our mere pre-
ferences for men atthe shrine ofprinciples.
We have one common foe against whom to
contend the old-line, self styled Democ-
racy. When we analize this old dragon,
we find him in favor of every measure
which the American Republican party op-
pose. We are opposed TO the extension ol
slavery into free terri!ory-thsy are the
embodiment of the American slavery prop.
ogandi, and would fill with slaves every
mile ofterritory belonging, or which may
belong to the United States. They are in
favor Of the admission of more slave States
into our Union, and Of throwing the posi-
tive powers of Government on the side o.
slavery. We hold, as a cardinal doctrine
that slavery is sectional institution, ant
that freedom is our national and constitu
tional element. They hold that slavery il
{ national-that our constitutional power!
shall all be construed in favor of slavery
that our revolutionary fathers fought, blet
and died to establish it.. We are in favo
S of a protective policy against the wiles o
foreign influence, especially that old eccle
{ siasicy Of the Roman Catholics, whose his
, tory is marked with blood, aad who's
every tread on earth, wherever they hav,
obtained the temporal power, to whicl
q they aspire, has been on the prostrat
forms OF Liberty, Freedom, and Republi
f canism.
F:om the Canton Repository.
t On Friday, the 18Th inst, more thar
f usually large number ofpersons assembled
= in Columbus, in response to call previ
. ously issued; to nominate a Republican
G ticket for the campaign. The delegate
: were good men and true men, who, wit
but few exceptions, met with determine
ton 20 bury former political prediction
and prejudices, beldly and firmly put thei
= shoulders 10 the wheel to move on the ca
4. of progress which shall not only arres
o. but circumvent the aggression of the slav
4 power, The delegates met in earnest upo
o this question and not with any intent {
Q making arti-slavery professions, Will.
o their actions should advance the Interest
4 and institutions Of the South. There wer
there grey headed veterans, who had rer
,, dercd service of their prime and matur
Il manhood, in opposing political ranks, an
h now in the evening decline of their days
n stand side by side and shoulder to shoulde
to repeal the aggressions of a common pc
litical enemy. They were there to counsC
n with the young gand middle aged, to adoI
" a platform of Republican principles, wi
=. leave deep and favorable impress upo
!. the remainder of the country-a platfoI
"a dictated by the progress of the age, an
,c in harmony and consonance with the Wit
>. interests of the State and of Republica
n Liberty.
1t The Mt. Gilead Sentinel, in speaking
the candidates upon the ticket, says:
"Thcy have arrayed themselves withtt
'r people in this great struggle between de
N potism and freedom, and they ask you fc
le your suh,rages, not for their own good
p lone, but that through them the North ma
l. be vindicated and liberty made triumphan
l. The struggle is not one of their own seel
le ing, buthas been forced upon them by Il
Us acts of the South, and they demand tn
at all who are prepared to resist the furth
J spread of the dark curse Of slavery, sha
P rally around them, and sustain them
t, their hour of need.
y Men of Morrow, organize your fore
S and prepare to meet tho cohorts of SLAYER
y In the last conflict you gloriously trump
OF ed, but your old enemy is again in Il
field, bearing the black flag of oppressiC
is and boasting of the triumph they will wi
Be it your duty to trail that flag in the du
r and bring these beasts to naught. L
: harmony and concession rule amongst yo
~ yielding everything for the good of t
cause, and all will be well.
