FreedOnl on SIaverr.

No Freedom out side the Free States. or
no Slavery outside the Slave States, is to
be the established doctrine Of our coming
politics. We ask Of the Northern people
which it shall be? We put the inquiry TO
people of all parties, Whig, Democratic,
Know Nothing and Anti Nebraska, alike
Slavery demands permission to where It
likes, and it likes to go everywhere. It
declares its right tog go wherever the territo-
ry of the Union extends It assumes the
position that there shall be no freedom out
side the Free States. What do the Free
States say to that position? They canno.
dodge the issue they must be for or against;
they must acquiesce or oppose. Are they
ready for such ignoble surrender of their
principles as acquiescence implies? Are
they ready to permit Slavery 70 surround
them, as with a Dismal Swamp, and forever
forbid them and their descendants from 90
ing beyond the limits which their fathers'
virtue and patriotic resolution have already
secured to them? Have they spirit enough
LEFT to defend even the claims Of their own
posterity to occupy any portion of the
broad domain Of the prolific West. or will
they tamely surrender to all such rufian
hordes as have attempted, and propose to
consummate, the subiectiou of Kansas?
Which motto shall be emblszoned on the
banner Of the North? No Freedom out
side the Free States or no Slavery outside
the Slave States? Answer, Northern men
of all parties and all factions and sectsl-
Choose your colors, whatever they may be
and be ready for the coming struggle. We
are in a crisis on the Slavery question, and
the issue must soon be determined. Sla-
very is to triumph over Freedom, or Free
dom is to repel the aggressiOns of Slavery.
The North is 10 be humiliated. humbled in
the dust, the Government to be surrendered
into the hands of slave-driVers, all our ter
ritory opened to their sway; or Freedom
must assert It's prerogative and firmly resist
and quel the audacious attempt at su5juga-
tion and conquest now making by the Slave
power--N 7. Tribune.

Political Prospects.

1t is amusing to see how narrow is the
horizon to the vision Of some Observers
The common remark as to these near-sigh-
ted individuals, that they cannot see an
inch fom their own noses, is very true, and
it would appear thar all argument tending
to convince such persons, that any voice
should be listened to save their own dulcet
tones, is lost. A cotemporary in an odjOin-
ing county has made up his mind that MIR.
Chase should be the Fusion candidate for
Governor, and hence in accordance with
his contracted vision, says that there is no
need Of convention at all the people have
WilIed that Mr. C. be the candidate, and
that will must be obeyed. We agree, that
the wishes of the people are to be obeyed,
but we deny that any editor is sufficiently
omDiscient to determine what that will IS
So far as Mr.. Chase is concerned, We shall
support him fol Governor with hearty
good will, when q convention shall express
its preference for him, but it is net well for
any editor TO be so supremely selfish as to
suppose that Ohio is locked up in his sane
tum. The Buckeye State has length and
breadth, and contains an immense popula-
ton. and the views, feelings, yea, prejudices
of this vsst territory and its swarming num-
bers, must be consulted. There is one
grand point toward which all outside ofthe
Administration party are pressing, and it
matters but little what path we tread, SO
long as we are certain of attaining the de-
sired goal. 1t is the refinement Of se6sh-
ness for one man, or one class Of men, to
point out their own fayorite way, and say
to the whole mass Of voters "walk ye in it.
Rather let US bury all personal predictions
and individual preferences, for the good
of common cause, and meeting together
in spirit of harmony and compromise, Sc
lect such standard bearer as shall most
successfully lead on the Anti-Nebraska col
umn to IA second and overwhelming victory
In this connection we commend and in
dorse the remarks of the Norwalk Rehec-
tor, which are as follows:
"The time is approaching for the selec-
ton of candidates for state officers, by the
Republicans; and there can be no harm il
discussing preliminsriss. All we ask. is,
tina. the Convention Of July give US our best
men for nominees-that they be firm and
unwayering upon the Slavery question
which is the great question at this time
that they be fairly nominated, and We shal
ask no more. Cleveland Herald.

Republican ConveniiOn-Candidat


We have no doubt the State Centra!
Committee will soon call q Convention OF
the anti-Nebraska Republican men of Ohio,
to assemble in this city on the 18th of July.
In anticipation of ibis event we have, from
ting to time, given to the public such an
nouncements of candidates as have been
sent US, and have noted them as they have
appeared in other sections of the State
We have aimed to be strictly impartial and
Just to all sections and interests. We have
no fayorites, but we desire such men as
will truly represent the reused Northern
feeling Of Ohio, on the Slavery issue.
The reform movement of the people, as
manifested by eighty thousand majority
last fall, is not yet accomplished. The
wants and business interests of the State
limperatively demand change in the ad-
ministration of our affairs, and in the mate
rial ofour legislature. To accomplish these
desirable results we labor. We care not
for men, but we do care for the best inter-
ests and prosperity of the State.
Below, we give the names Of such per-
sons as have been suggested for the sever
al offices to be filed in October next
From the list it will not be difficult 70 Sc
lect ticket that will be satisfactory to all
the true friends Of Reform. Ifthe Repub-
licans Of Ohio cannot elect ticket such as
they can select from these names, they will
deserve defeat But, there will be no such
word as fail, if there is a cordial union of
the forces that stand arraYed 10 opposition
to the present State and National admins

FIVE DAYS LATER NEWS.
Arrival OF the Asia.

We give the synopsis of the Asia's news
from the ". Y. Tribune:
By the Asia, at Halifax, we have Eve
days' later news from Europe; but it is moi
40 important IS we expected. The bom-
bar,Iment Of Sevastopol continued, without
material progress towards reducing the
town. There is a rumor the Allies had
suspended their fire, but the story wants
condemnation. It is stated that there was a
severe passage between the French and
Russians at sortie on the l4th, the hot
test fieht since Inkermann. Another sor-
tie on The 18th was promptly repulsed.-
The French say that they have made some
important advances near the Malakof tow

The Akron Beacon and Medina Gazette
have come out for S. P. Chase for Governor.
Clepe Leader.
A mistake. sir so far as the Beaeon is
concerned. We have declined 10 commit
ourselves for any Of the candidates for
State officers. We merely said that Mr..
Chase seems, thus far, to be the choice Of
large majority of the journals Of the State
which have expressed preference. There
is SO much danger of discord in the conven.
ton, if discussion is started as to the merits
of candidates, that we prefer to waive such
discussion entirely ;and leave the Convention
untrammeled by individual preferences.

EDITOR JOURNAL There is one thing
:hat I would be highly gratifed to learn
and that is, why some of our citizers-es-
pecially some cur leading Locofoco breth-
ren, (lhe people know who they arel- are so
anxious to suppress the prosecution of liq-
uor sellers for violation of the Liquor Law.
In the case which was disposed of this week,
in the Probate Court, I understand consid-
cradle interest was manifested by some Of
these political gentry, who we're exceeding
ly anxious 10 have the matter compromised
without having it come before the proper
tribunal, and even went so far as to threat
en- some of our officers, whose duty it is to
assist in the execution of our laws, with un-
favorable political influence. in case they
did not agree TO such compromise, and per-
formed their sworn duty,
would ask you, Mr.. Editor, and every
person who is not perfectly Indifferent 10
the welfare Of our country, if we are moi
coming to pretty pass when those who
seek to be our rulers and Office holders
will, in order to accomplish their wicked
and selfish designs, and attain the height
of their greedy, poli,:cal aspirations, use ev-
cry means TO clog up the channels of jus,
tice, BY subverting and rendering abortive
the laws of our State. Truly, the remark
of the western orator-"Whisky and De.
mocracy-now and forever-one and in.
seperable"-is verified by the acts of some
of our own citizens. ENQUIRER.
P. S. We learn thst the cause was not

PRICE OF WooL.-Tbe first indication we
have seen of the probable price OF wool this
season, we find in the Cadiz Republican Of
the Sd inst. We copy the paragraph for
the benefit of our farmer readers:
"On last Thursday between seventeen
and eighteen thousand pounds of Z wool
was sold by the Sheriff in this place, at S84
cents. On the following day upwards of
one thousand pounds of full blood was sold
in Rumley, by the same officer, at 4O4
cents. These are about the figures the
same wool was bought last season, from
which we infer that the new clip will COM
mand at least as high prices as that of last
year."

An Outrage.

The following specimen of Slave hold
er's sense of justice, is copied from the st.
Louis Democrat of the 3Oth April We
commend it to the Slave Democracy of thisF
region:
The Weston Reporter gives the following
account Of an infamous outrage recently
committed on our western frontier. It
seems that "reigu of terror" prevails in
that region, and that a few bullies and
blackguards are allowed to ride rough shod
over the great mass of the people, and to
insult and injure others with impunity.---
Who ever heard of man being fined By
Justice of the Peace because a black
guard had attempted bis life. If the COM
munity in which this outrage took place al
low it 10 go unpunished, i will not only dis
grace them, but it will subject al to the
same species OF outrage, and give license
to blackguards to trample upon the rights
Of every peaceable citizen.
"Mr Jacob Canfril, who lives at Inde.
pendence, Mo, had the words kansas Free
State painted on bis wagon in large letters.
This excited the indignation Of Ohio Hall,
who jumped upon the forward end of the

He was, however. prevented from doing
much injury to the man, so be contented
himself with cutting the covering of the
wagon to pieces. Canfril bad Hall arrest

respect to the outrages in Kansas. We an
swer: Repeal the Nebraska bill In this
infamous measure all the present and all
the coming mischiefs that beset the question
of Freedom in Kansas find their true and
only source. Exterminate, then, at once
the whole brood of evils springing up to in

settlements. Tear up the poisonous weeds
planted by Douglas and the Admistration
in Kansas, and restore the country TO its
former condition In this way only can be
avoided crisis in our affairs which threat
ems results that every peaceable man must
deplore. In this way only can reparation
be made for the scandalous inroad of the
Missouri Shareholders upon Kansas, or Sc
curity be afforded for the exemption of tha:

in the future. Let the North everywhere,

Candidates.


There seems to be no lack OF candidates
for Office this fall, and yet q remarkably
creditabIe feature is. shown in the fact that
there is little or no personal solicitation for
Office; candidates are not busy trying to get
Office, but the people are busy in eanyassing
the merits of the various persons named.
That reliable paper, the Springfield Repub-
lie, thus speaks: sf
We are prepared to support any good
and true man for the Office, whom the State
Convention may seleet; candor, however,
eompels us to say, that SO far as we have
