The Prosuect.

From every part Of .be State, We have
the most cheering intelligence. The min.
ions Of power, WHO fight for the spoils, are
in utter dismay at the prospect of the de-
feat which awaits tlem. Not only is The
election Of Chase and the whole ticket pla-
ccd beyond all doubt, bat their majori:y
will be overwhelming, and such as will
forever blast the hopes and prospects Of
the great Sag Nicht leader and his hungry
Office seekers.
Yes, friends, every thing goes on well,
and Eictory-yca, more than yictory-is
ours! The day is approaching when the
people of this great Stale of Ohio will rise
in their might and crush the unrighteoux
band OF political Spectators who have so
long despoiled the people Of their money,
and disgraced the State by their shameful
and profigate course All that is now ne
cessary to be done, in order to effect cur
dcliycrance is, to vote on next Tuesday
Let every one call to mind the vote given
in this State at the last election, and be
will admit that the Republican cause will
present such a majority which will make
every Americfn and patriot rejoice.
1t is not to be disputed that large ma
joriiy of the people Of Ohio are now oppo-
sed 10 the election of Billy Mcdill. Out OF
the pale Of office-holders and Office hun
ters there is no binding affection for the
Sag Niclit Governor. That ardor and i'm
petuosity of feeling that once nerved his
friends 10 action, is gone; and all that is
left for him, is TO seek consolation in
Awning after Jesuits and fo-eigner,-
and they look upon him as Janus-faced
politician. A crisis has come when true
patriotism has taken possession of the A.
merican heart, and the good and true
men have taken a stand above the tram
els of mere party, and are acting upon a
broader and nobler ground. Ohio. always
powerful, always patriotic, holds in her
grasp a political force which, if properly
welded, may and win exert a powerful
influence on the question of freedom and
the right. and show to the world that the
people of this Commonwealth place their
condemnation on every act or influence
that has tendency to extend Slavery on
territory cOnseerated to freedom. The peo-
pie of Ohio will place the mark of their
disapprobation on this transaction, as well
upon the Judas who first moved it in the
Senate, as upon the last contractor, VIM.
Medill, whose every effort was czerted 10
aid in consumma;ing the wisbesof the great
idol Of the party, in, order that he, VIM.
MediIl, may be fostered and nurtured by
the smiles Of the Executive. And hence
the true men of the North are everywhere
rallying to discharge their duty, and no
National Republican either North or South,
who is worthy of the name, will hesitate
to unite with any party TO put down this
unhallowed combination. Nr-
Therefore, friends and Americans, iet us
seriously reflect OF the duties which is re.
quifed at our hands on next Tuesday, and
deposit our ballots in such n manner that
we can answer to the friends Of Republi-
can institutions throughout the world. and
to our posterity, our conscience and to our
God. And let our motto be ''our country
our whole country!l-end nothing bu
our country !" Kmericansof Fairfield
the signs Of the times denote the certain
downfall and total defeatof the spoils party
Are you all ready to re-afirm the high po-
sition soa have taken at the last fall eIec,
ton, which threw dismay into. the Red
Lodge Clique; ifso, go to work faithfully
and on next Tuesday the sun OF "Medill-
ISM will set 10 riso no more.
