Who nre RennhIicans,

All who are opposed TO the domination
of the slave power;-all who will resist to
the death the desperate effort to turn this
nation into Black Republic;-all who are
not willing to be reduced to a state of po-
litical servitude under Southern masters,
more degrading than that in which they
hold their negroes;-al who love liberty
more than party, and right more than Of
6ce;-all, no matter what their political an
tecedents, who believe that Washington and
the patriots of the Revolution established
this government to extend freedom and not
slavery, and who are resolved to bring it
back to its original purpose.
Our opponents call us abolitionists, fanat-
les, disunionists, &c, When a man is 10
the wrong and argument fails, it is natural
and easy to resort to i'll names. He who is
in the right, however, can afford 10 bear
bis opponents slang, and bide bis time
Republicans in the fulfllment of their high
and holy purpose, to cover the vast regions
of the West with free States, are not to be
turned aside by epithets. You may stand
beside the torrent of Niagara and curse
yourself hoarse, but not drop will pause
to hear you. So sham democracy may
curse Republicans till their vocabulary is
exhausted, but not man will stay his
course. Their curses will not drive back
the tide Of wrath and scorn which rises like
the sea to overwhelm them.
Let no Republican be deceived with the
specious plea that the coming election re-
fers purely to State affairs and has nothing
to do with the General Government. 1t is
true that State and local officers only are
to be elected. But every slaveocrat knows
that the election of next fall when the COM
plexion of the General Government for the
next four years is to be decided, will scarce
ly be more important than this. The vote
of this State on the 9th of October next,
will exert mighty influence on the vote,
not only of this State but of every free
State, in 1856. If Ohio now sets the broad
and indelible mark of her reprobation on
the front of The slave driving democracy,
every lover of freedom throughout the
Union will take heart; but if Ohio now fall
tiers, if she permits that democracy which
is the natural ally Of slavery" to triumph,
then will the men of the whip, the men
who trade in human flesh, the men who
sell their own offspring, the men who now
want new regions in which to commit their
denominations, rejoice.
There are thousands yet remaining in
the democratic ranks, who hate slavery and
love freedom, but cannot muster strength
to break the ties of party. They do not
mean to vote against liberty, but they can
not quite yet desert democracy; though it
has lost everything but the name. which
remains TO mock its rottenness and hypocri-
sy. Let every such man remember that he
who votes for Mediil and his ticket, sustains
the Administration in its efforts to make
Kansas and Nebraska Slave States. He
gives the utmost aid and comfort TO Atchi-
son and StringfelEoW and the Missouri mob.
He gives just such vote as the slave-driv-
ers want; a vote that will make heaven
weep and hell rejoice.

Yes, there was meeting there, at which
ell the ofice-holders aud ofice-seekers of
Fremont, were present. The whole crowd
might have numbered 800 persons, and
not small number of them were Repub-
licans, who went to hear the speakers pro-
claim what was announced in the bills
Truth; but there was none of that article
on hand; not a bit. Mr.. FINEFRocK and
Mr.. BARTLETT, contented themselves by
promulgating falsehoods and abuse, and
avoided an toto the issue before the people.
Both of the speakers attacked the Fire.

reason that they had no principles to ad-
vocate. The Journal and the speakers are
too well known in Clyde for US to say more
on this subject Had the question been

have proclaimed the speakers utterly de-
void of that principle of honor and integri-

Stumping at ROIIersVfIie.

Mr.. EDIToR-SIR: The inhabitants OF
Rollersville and vicinity, were visited by Messrs
Greene and Finefrock, on Saturday, the 1st
inst. A few of the remarks are worth preserv-
ing for future reference.
The young convert informed US that the
Constitution of the United States was, and is,
an inspired article, consequently it could not be
amended By man; and, further, no man or COM
pany Of men would dare attempt it. How sin
eu!ar that the discovery was not made before
wish to ask the young convert,
lst. If it has any connection with the In
macculate Conception?
I'd. Would it not be possible to get an iasDir-
ed amendment?
Sd. Are you so ignorant as to believe the sto-
~, or did you wish TO deceive your hearersl
4ih. Did the man who deals in SicanlD Lands,
tell you so, or did you obtain the informal bv
your own occult faculties!
Inspeaking ofthe fOreign-b born population, he
said that If immigration was stopped, it would
depreciate the value of land in this County so,
that in two years the best of it would not be
worth five dollars per acre. Think Of that, We
farmers, whose farms are worth $50 per acre,
YOU are indebted 10 the foreigners for at least
fve-sixths of that, for their money, industry and
enterprise.
We were informed that the Democrats op-
posed the Fugitive Slave Law. But in 1852 il
was one of their peculiar tenets: and suppose
it must have been one reason of his conversion
TO The party at that time.
The Kansas-N ebraska Bill and the repeal oi
the Missouri Compromise was next alluded TO,

About those Illegal Opinions"

AT the Sag Nicht gathering at Clyde, on Fri
day evening last, T. P. Finefrock, Esq, deni-
ed that he applied to the Republican party the
following epithet:
"The Republican party is composed of all the
fsg-ends Of creation; nigger's heels and toes.'
Now, notw ith standing Mr.. F. had the brazen
audacity to stand up in the presence of two or
three hundred persons, and denounce us as ga
Liar" and "the Fremont Journal as lying
Sheet" we assert and can prove by the best cil-
zens of FremoHt that he did say "the Republi-
can party is composed of all the fag-ends of cre-
alton; niggers heels and toes,'' with this addi-
ton sand baboon rinds and monkeys tails. -
Against whom will the charge of LIAR rest
now? There were those present and heard
him demean himself, who, we have no doubt,
would make an GtidaUit that he never said 30.
Mr.. Bartlett, we are told, also denounced US
as a liar for "gazetting" him. Well, Mr. B.
we think will not dare to deny what we said of
him, for he has made the declaration too many
times to avoid its rising up ghost-ke against
him. We have been advised that Mr.. B. said
our statement would be right with this correc-
tion, that instead of using the word ''clothes,''
he aid burn his "EhiTt." Here, then is the
correct statement:
''The man who would not get up at night to
damn the nistration-and burn his shirt TO
make a light TO see TO damn the present Ad-
ministraton, ought him to be damnsd.'
Mr.. B. done his best TO glorify the Admins.
tration, and prove his subservience thereto.
There was another thing who denounced US a
"har." To him we have nothing to say No
one would believe such charge, though he
should pile affidavit on affidavit.

VIM. Ksssler the well known host OF
the @Kessler House" Fremont,-and, by
the way, he is an old German was acting
as Collector of that Port. A young squirt
named A J. HALE, with few obscure and
worthless Locofoeo loafers got up charge
against Mr. Kessler, Of Know Nothingism,
sent it to Pugh and through bis hands to
the department Pugh, became the cats
paw, and wrote 10 the Department as fol-
lows:
"Mr. Kessler may be innocent of the
charge made against him; but it is unfor-
tunate, Ito say the least that he should
no: have been above suspicion, as well as
reproach. Among the petitions for his
removal, as l wrote you, were several gen
tlemen Of my aequaintsnce-gentlemen of
good reputation and altogether worthy Of
confidence. These documents addressed to
me, suppose, for the reason that all the
other Congressman elect from Ohio be-
longs to the Free Soil and Know Nothing
factions
Good reputation and worthy of confidence
The Fremonters never discovered that
fact; bat, however, Mr.. Kessler was de-
capiated according to order. and the Pugh
documents sent back to him by the depart
ment. He was offered large bribe no! to
publish them.
But BILLY MEDrLL, the great Governor
of Ohio also dabbled in the dirty work. On
Friday las. call hands" were at the "CRoe-

marched the whole democratic phalanx
from the groaning tables of the "Crogan"
with music and banners up 10 "KEssLER's;" ;"
and took dinner, spreading on the balm and
honey to ease Kessler's wounds. How he
succeeded, what promises he made, or what
inducements he offered, we do not know.

Retrenchment.

Mn. EDIToR-We have heard consider
able said about Retrenchment, in our County
expenses, and believe it should be done; and
we ask for men pledged to do it. Men who
will do something besides talk. The drunken
sot win advocate Temperance, when it is the
whiskey that makes him eloquenti the thief
pleads honesty, and the licentious mon pleads
morality, and greedy Office seeker may plead
Retrenchment on the same principle. Our Of
fcers receive too much salary; for instance:-
The Auditor has received $2,2OO per annum.
81 200 is amply sufficient, and | would pledge
myself 10 do il for that if 1 was a nominee for
Office. A word to the wise.

Does not this money rightly belong to the man
who has earned it, and not to the man who impu-

And if the labor Of slaves is profitable if their
earnings much exceed their expenses that a

from S75 to 500, and upwards. Small boys have
hired for 50 per month. A number of negroes
