Republican State Ticket.

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL,
f. d. KIMBALL, of Medina.
FOR MEMBER OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS,
ALEX. G. CONOVER, of Miami.
The Ticket,
The 18th Of July Republican Convention, at
Columbus, was a large and enthusiastic gather
ing. The largest delegate convention, ever be-
fore assembled in the State. The utmost har-
mOny and good feeling characterized all their
proceedings, full account of which will be found
in this number. 1t would be impossible for US
10 attempt the detail Of an hundredth part Of
the good things said and done. The ResOlu-
may read, and all who read can understand
We were disappointed in the selection of our
standard bearer, it is trusi but as he was the
choice of the Convention, we feel bound by its
action. We have buekled on the armor, and
with SALMON P. CHASE, as our leader, in
this warfare between Freedom and Human Bon
dsge shall cease not to contend until the great
battle is fought, and the victory won. Look at
the ticket. Read every name. Not a dough-
face on it, from the Captain down, all are plsdg-
ed for Freedom-the Reduction Of Taxes-the
faithful and economical administration Of our
State Government, and the faithful execution
Of the laws. Republicans of Sandusky county,
what is your duty? We have full confidence in
you and commit the cause to your charge.
g As it is an impOssibility for the
Ethiopian to change his skin." SO it is also
an impOssibility for the POpe's organ grind
er, alias, the editor of the Democrat, to tell
the truth, when it would suit his purposes
even better than falsehood. For instance,
his notice of the Peoples Convention held
at the Court House on the 7lh. Il is full
CT miststements, which one hundred and
fifty persons kAo1O, and which John Flaugh-
er also knew when he penned his article
His calling the meeting farce, and nine
tenths Of the persons present X. Ms. does
not make it so. It was the first meeting
of the people of this county to make prepa
rations for the approaching fall election -
The gathering was large one, more by
oue-half than we had expected to see, on
account of the busy times with the farmers.
There were over one hundred present
The object for which they assembled, was
transacted to the satisfaction Of every one.
The men appointed as delegates were not
doughfaces, such as the Democracy Of this
county have been in the habit of sending
as delegates. The resolutions were plain
and 10 the point, "buncOmbe" or not the
slave-drivers of Sandusky county dare not
pass any of like import.
The truth is, the Old Line Locofocos oil
this county see plainly that their days are
numbered, and they are terror-stricken
when they see the people make determin-
ed move towards ridding themselves and
the county treasury of such dishonest men.
1t is the object of these traducers Of free
men to put forth all the falsehoods they
can concoct, but we can assure them il will
avail them nothing, they have got to meet
the issue, and receive their doom from the
hands of constituency whom they have
outraged and robbed.
They were the makers, aud are the up
holders and supporters of the Infamous Flu
gitive Slave Law, which is a curse upon
any people.
They repealed the Missouri Compromise
line, robbed freedom of her territory and
are seeking with their utmost endeavOrs, to
establish slavery over the whole of that soil
For this they are cursed by God and man.
They have imposed taxes on the people
of this State that are grievous. aye, crush
ing; and so long as they have the power
they will increase the burdens.
They have broken down the banking in
stitutions Of the State, driven capital from
our borders, and by unjust, double and
treble taxation prevented the introduction
of capital from other States.
They have robbed the State and county
treasury, and now they fear the doom which
is pronounced against them, and their ours.
es are loud and deep. Frsemen Of San.
dusky county, remember these things
Remember that the men whom you so long
supported in Office now call your dOings q
farce, when you say to them they can be
rulers no longer. Remember that from thi,
time until after the election nothing bui
maedictions will be breathed out against
every one who dares to think and act fol
himself. Bearing these things in mind We
are not afraid of the result on the I'd Tues.
day of October. Republicans, Go your du
ty, and the dawn of better days will soOr
appear.
