From SALT RIvER.-Some Of the Ohio
Republicans recently made a trip to the
head waters of Salt River, to look up To-
cation, in case they should have occasion
to pitch their tents in that region. They
report that the Locos, who went there last
fall, have squatted in that country and
the poor fellows are so strongly in favor
of Squatter Sovereignty that they have
been permitted to remain for an indefinite
period of time. Should the Republicans
ever be necesitated to emigrate thither,
they will no doubt find slavery firmly es-
tabiished at the source of that famous
stream SOL. Miller.

Nothing has done SO much to impede
the prosperity of Ohio as the unjust and
unwise war which has been waged against
capital during the last four or five years.
Millions Of capital have been driven out
of the State by our present oppressive tax
law, while for the want of proper banking
facilities the State is covered with brokers
who, like locusts, are devouring tho very
substance of the land. We need, then,a
equal and just tax law, and some system
which will give us an abundant and secure
currency. These wants men like BRAsEE,
KELLY and GRIswoLD, are we'll qualified to
relieve, and to them we look for much wise
and beneficial legislation.

The American Party In this county.


We must confess that tho result of tho
late election in this county was not alto !
gether unexpectodto to us We greatly fear
ed that our American brethren were too
confident of success, and that they would
thereby be induced to neglect to make use
Of proper exertions to secure the triumph
of our county ticket. The result has prov
ed that our apprehensions were well found
ed. The American party lost votes enough
in Hooking township, through Incidence
TO have changed the result in the county.
So twas throughout the entire county
The opposition were fully aroused and ac-
five, while the Americans were everywhere
sleeping on their arms, totally unprepared
for the contest. We can therefore only
blame ourselves for the defeat which wo
have sustained. a,4
There is nothing. then, in tho result Of
the late ele:ion in this county which
ought to discourage us. Our principles
a=esjust as dear and as sacred TO us now as
they ever were. A great work yet re-
mains to he done. We must now begin
our preparations for the great Presidential
contest which is TO come of nNit year
We have an American President 10 elect,
and this will bring all the great principles
for which tho American party is contend
ing fairly before the people. The next
Congress will give final settlement to the
slavery question, and then union can be
effected between the American party North
and South which will enable us to over
come all opposition whatever. s5a4f
The present signs of the times seem to
indicate that the national platform of our
party will be much extended, modified and
improved. 1t will not be confined merely
TO the modification of the naturalization
laws, and those kindred principles which
it has heretofore embraced. 1t will be ex
Rendsd to several questions of national pol
icy both foreign and domestic in regard 10
which We think the present adminisra-
tion has greatly erred. One great and
leading principle of national policy which
win be advocated by the American party
will be the Improvement Of those great ma
tional channels of fcommerce which now so
mach need the attention the general gov
erhment. This is but one of number
which we will bring to the attention Of our
readers at some future day.
AS soon, then, as the American party
becomes fully organized throughout the
Union we have no fears but that the party
in this county will be inspired with new
life and animation, and that we win enter
ino' the conflict next fall with renewed zeal
and achieve great and glorious victory
over Locofecoism.. In the mean time,
brethrenl do not forget the welfare of the
Republic. Reason with your friends and
Neighbors who may be in error. and en-
dlsavor to convince them that the first and
only wish Of the American party is to pro-
mote the glory and prosperity of our be-
loved country.

TIE CENTRAL AMERICAN ExPED1r1oN.-
According to a correspondent of the N. Y,
Tribune, q large number of men have been
enlisted in New Orleans for the Central
American Expeditions OF Kinney and Wal
keT, all Of whom will go out armed. 1t is
said also, that several wealthy planters
have subscribed large amount Of money
to the enterprise, while others have agreed
to go down as soon as things are more set
tied, and take with them their slaves
Many who have enlisted have agreed to
take their families along. Tho fund guar
anteed to Kinney for the promotion of his
enterprise amounts to over FIVE millions of
dollars. and it is alleged that the object Of
the whole effort is to secure the organiza-
ton Of a slave State in Central America, to
be annexed to the Union.
