Abolition-Know Nothing D~isunion-
ism is OF the wane up in the heart ofthe
Reserve. The Trnmbull Democrat,
the editor of which is Il good member of
the Methodist Episcopal church, informs
us that several days ago, flaming hand
bills were posted for a meeting, to take
place on a certain evening, atSEnpire
II all, in the town of Warren. All the
magHates of Abolitionism in that place
were announced to speak. The bills
proclaimed that the speakers would de-
molish the arguments used by Gov.
Medal, Judge Ranney and Mr.. Taylor,
a few days before. Night came, and
with it some of the speakers and about
forty of the Abolition Know othing
Disunionist wire plllers who do up
things in that county. and about half,
dozen Democrats. B. f. Hofftnan, who
for years has regarded himself is the
very Atlas of the Abolition party of
that county, made the first spe ech.-
The Democrat says:
"He charged Judge Ranney with
dishonesty in saying he was in favor of
the broad principles of Democracy, and
voting against allowing the colored man
a right to vote, in Ohio, aud said that
there Were thousands of colored men,
black men, not mulattoes, bus real, gen.
uine darkies, who were better men, more
talented men, and many of them would.

how long they wanted the foreigner to

citizen :, and said, 1T is only a mat
ter of policy whether we require two,
FIVE or twenty-one years, We have a
right to say they shall acUcr vote, or
that they shall not came here at air.
He also said that nine-tenths of our
boys were better qualified to vote at the
age of eleven, than nine-tenths of the
foreigners after they have been hero
twcnty.one years.
Is this the dish Nj. CnAsE and his
friends desire to serve up to the people of
Ohio? If so, as many of you as are
honestly in favor of negroes filling such
positions, manifest it by voting for SAL

Cause of our De-
feat Last Fall.
Democrats look
at It'll!

To show conslusively to ev-
cry person that the cause of our
defeat last year was owing to
the Democracy not going to the
Polls, we need but show the
difference in the vote in 1852,
and in 1854.
Our candidates in 1852 re
ceived 2,136 votes. in 1854,
the Democratic ticket only re-
ceived 1850; making a differ7
ence of $50 Democrats who
stayed at home. From this
it will be seen that had we poll
ed our strength the whole Dem
ocratic ticket would have been
elected by several hundred.-
We have no person to censure
but ourselves for our defeat last
year. Shall we again suffer de-
feat from the same cause T?
Arouse, fellow Democrats, and

do this-if we apply to our

from 8. p. Chase

CHase, frightened by the effect the

ions of 1874, which he declared were
still his sentiments at the Columbus

public mind, is now taking the "back
track y and is repudiating them. I'm
der date of Springfield, September Esd,
he writes a letter to the Abolition or
gan, the Commercial, in relation
to his old " Liberty mans creed, from
which We make the following extract
On the other hand, I am quito wills
ing to admit that the "creed !" contains
some errors. It was written, it seems,
eleven years ago-so long ago that I

in the new States, created out of terri
tory ceded to the General Government,
stood on different footing from slavery
Iin-the old States. LIDO not think so
now, and have not thought so for years.
In NY judgement, the General Govern
ment has no constitutional power to IN
teYfeTe at all auth the relation of master

The Liberty party itself is gone"
CHASE had " almost forgotten his old
letter. and his views on slavery were
not very mature ," though lie had
then reached the /" mature y age of
thirtyzseyen years. The fact is, he fash
ions and adopts his creed to his political
necessities. Arc we to understand
from CHASE that he has given up his
doctrines of 1850, as avowed in the Sen
ate Of the United States, that Congress
should refuse to admit (" new slave
States" into the Union, aud hal it
should pass a law ~forbidding the inter-
State slave trade? To do SO would be
to " in terfere with the relation of mas
ter and slave in the States" to which
procedure he now processes to be oppos-
ed. The fact that CHASE is SO eontin-
ually changing his grounds, repudiating
his old opinions upon all subjects, that
even those who believe him honest-if
there are such persons-can have.no con-
6dence in his ability as a statesm an.-
In a few years he will repldiate the doc
trines he holds now as /" immature and
the publication of his letters of 1854 and
1855 will create a /" smile " at their fool
ishness.

The Trimble Ticket

BY requesto of a number of old line
Wings we insers the TRIMBLE, or old
line Wing, Ticket. We do it for two
reasons
Ist. Because there are SOM old line
Wings who take our paper, and it is prop
er they should at least have their ticket
noticed.
end As a matter of general inforp'as
ton TO all parties.
we deem the above sufficient, in our
opinion, for giving it a place in our
columns.
We take the following TR1MBIE ticket
from the Cincinnati Times, one of the
organs of ALLEN TR1MPLE. It is the
same as the Fusion ticket except CHASE,
which they recommend to be swallowed
like a snake swallows a catfish, by COM
mencing at the tail and swallow all out
the head-CRAsH-aud let it slough
off.

in that city: Tt says:
The anti.Chase meeting at the
Court-house last night was the largest
and most spirited which has ever assem-
blod in the city. If there were three
thousand at the Ghasesmeeting, that Of
last night must be counted as at least
four thousand"

Things to be Re
membered I'm the
Coming Contest!

That it has always been the policy of
the Wing party to change the Naturali-
cation Laws, by which foreigners would
be compelled to live in this country RI
years-that they at one time adopted it
as part of their creed.
LET IT BE REMEMBERED
That nearly all of the stump speakers
in Ashland County who oppose the Tax
Law, are capitalists and desire a change
in the present Tax Law, only that they
may escape paying their just proper
ton of taxation-and for proof of what
we here state We ask the people to see
for themselves.
LET TT BE REMEMBERED
That every vote given the Fusion tick
ct is in favor of Abolitionism and dis
union.
LET TT NOT BE FORGOTTEN
That this election will decide the future
existence of Know Nothingism. ACT
therefore wisely aud understandingly.
PROCLAIM FELLOW DEMO

to the foreigners of all nations that we
stand ready to assist in the overthrow
of a party which seeks to deprive them
of til heir rights.
REMEMBER WITHOUT FAIL
That the Fusion Know Moth
ing party of Ohio, LIE knowingly and
wiIfully when they say the Democratic
party areiu favor of SLAYERY-that

This time ithas had, and although We
are at all times IN favor Of good School
Law, one that will educate every child

such a law should be eneambered with
features that are of no practical benefit

have the elements in our midst to make
