The Fusion of Hunk risti

The scheme which we foresaw long ago,
and announced in our paper last spring, is
fast ripening to maturity. The old hun
ker silver-grey wings, and old bunker pro-
slavery democrats, are now formed over the
whole Union, walking arm in arm; con-
sulting together, and fighting the same bat
tie. The game which has recently been
played in different localities, by a fusion
of the hunkers Of the old parties, and form
ing new party with the Romans and for
signers under the leadership of President
Pierce & Co., and resulted in Maine, in
the defeat Of the American Republican,
Morrill,, is to be tried i'll Ohio to bcftat
Chase. ....
1t is surely strange meeting Of e&-
tremes. But nevertheless, the fusion
progresses. Gov. Medill, the ultra, pro-
slavery, administration democrat, ands
Ex-Governor Trimble, the old silver-grey
whig, most es. Unable friend, and broth.
er politician. Mc.ary's Statesman, the
Cincinnati Enquirer, &c., can scarce find
laudations sufficient, of the splendid orato
ry of the old wings, "Booby" johnson, &c
In growing terms do the democratic or
gaus announce, and magnify Trimble viii {
meetings And on every side, in the mos
endearing terms, do We find those extremes
of Old hunkerism, engaged iu the fonde S
love.
Thus consolidates pro-slavcry bunker
ism against true American RepublicanSm
In Ohio, the fogy wings are tapering of
On Trimble, to find themselves soon under
the leadership Of Pierce, Medill, Medary
& Go. Tobesure, such things look strange
but they are nevertheless true.
In this county. We are pleased to note
the number Of wings who thus put them
selves under the control of heretofore ha
ted democratic leaders, is VERY SMALL
In Jefferson county, the Trimble scheme
which is intended to break down the Amer

pru,Slavery administration party, finds bu
very little aid and comfort The VOL

sion Of hunkerism is too apparent.

The Cooing Doves +!

Week before last, when the State Fair
had gathered big crowd in columbus,
handbils were posted about the city, an
nouncing that Col. McCook, democratic
candidate for Attorney General would make
public speech in the evening.
With the evening, and the crowd which
had nothing else to do, came BILLY" John
son of "Yaller Greek notoriety," and 9TH
er old silyer-grey wings, who are stumplng
the State ostensibly for Trimble.
Finding those old wings on hands, Nc
Cook, the democratic CANDIDATE AND OR
AToR, cheerfully sure ndered, and gave
place for johnson d Co. Not that the re-
dontable Col. felt an inward conciousness
of the superiority of the oratorical abilities
of johnson, Anderson & Co; but with the
strong hope that if they could do anything,
they might disaffect some Chase votes, and
secure theni for Trinble, thus adding to
the chances of Medlll.
Thus is it becoming daily more apparent,
that this Trimble move is only scheme
to take votes off of Chase, and thus secure
the election Of MediIl. True Americans
and honest Wings will give it no counte-
nancp

r. RAGAN, Editor and Proprietor

Mr.. p B. Gonna practical printer--to
do the mechanical work on the paper for
one yearl Mr.. Conn entered upon the
work the first of January last, and publish
ed the paper for about four months. He
then became dissatisfied and expressed "a
desire to be released from the contract,
and in view of the accomplishment Of his
desire, proposed to us that we take charge
of the press and type and use them for an
inde6nate time, for a moderate and rea-
sonable rent, he being the owner of the
property. We accepted his proposition and
released hlm. Since then matters moved
pleasantly and prbsperously until Wednes-
day, the 96th inst On that day Mr.. Conn
made a demand of FIVE dollars per week
for the time we had been using his press
and type. Believing the demand to be
unreasonable, we refused to pay it, and
proposed reference of the matter to three
disinterrested persons, but he refused.
Subsequently, on the same day, in our alb,
senee and without our knowledge, he went
into our Office, took the lever from the
press and prevented our hands from work
ing off the issue Of our paper, thus putting
US to the Inconvenience of having them
worked off in the Office of the Herald
The impression intended to oe made by
an article in the Daily Union of the goth
inst, viz: that we we're in debt to Mr.
Conn for his services as publisher of the
paper is not true. HI has acknowledged
u full consideration fot all his labor as the
publisher of the paper and has reduced
his demand to two dol lars and fifty cents
per week for the use Of his press and type
which demand we have paid, although
is double the amount to which he was fair
ly entitled, This we have submitted t.
do rather than to be annoyed by litigation
We are using all pioper diligence t.
procure a press and type, and hope in
short time to be able to announce to ou
patrons-TukoUGu THE TRUE AMERICAN
that we are established d upon a footin!

scribcd. Our expenses will be conSidero

Prospects of the Coming Election.

=
From every part Of the State the news
are of the most cheering character. The
friends of Freedom and America are filled !
with confidence and the rotten Dcmocra-
cy behold with staring eyes the dark cloud
cf oblivion that will seon envelope them
i'll its dusky folds; leaving nought but the
memory of their sins behind. The Amer
ican Republican ticket is composed of men
who can neither be bought by the smiles
or awed by the frowns Of a corrupt admin
lstration. At its head Glands the name of
man; ever fearless advocate in free
dOm's cause who never bowed his neck
to Southern yoke, or failed to expose
their neiurious schemes. Next comes the
fearless Ford, an AMERICAN in heart and
one Of tue noble band that refused to aid
III binding bis brethren to the Car of Sla-
very, and taught the South to know that
there was a party at the North that would
not bend, like the plant Democracy, at
their will. The balance Of the State tick.
ct are good men and true, aud their elec-
tion will do honor to the Buckeye State
That they can be elected, does not admit
of doubt. The Democrats themselves
know it, and hence the avidity with which
they seize upon the forlon hope Of creating
Il division between Tie Americans and Re-
publicans. Take notice, every one, of the
sudden love with which they are attacked
for "OLD CLAY WIGS" Tie dear old
men what 'change has come o'er the
spirit of democracy'S dream, within the
last two years. They (the Wbigs) are no
longer "Blue light Federalists," Tories,
&c. Oh, DO! "Wc want your help this
Fall, in order to enable us to live at the
expense Of the public little longer, and
if you will only vote for us, you will be a
NOBLE set of fellows, but if you don't
well, well keep quiet until after the cleo
ton, and then stand from under" What
sympathetic beings democrats are, anyhow.
In the plenitude of their generosity, they
even embrace Father Trimble, and Gxhort
the Americans to vote for him, and vindi-
cate their honor by permitting Medill to
occupy the Governors Chair for another
term. But it won't do. The attempt is
a little too barcfaced the cloven foot sticks
through the shallow covering, and shows
the strait to which the inventors are re-
duced. The Wings have fought Too long,
face to face with the selfstyled Democra.
cy; and know them too well to be caught
in such silly trap.
AS for Trimble, it Is sheer folly to think
of wheedling Americans into the support
of a man nominated by a few pro-slavery
citizens of Cincinnati, and then to cap the
climax, they try to palm him upon par
ty for which he has no sympathy. We
, do not believe that Trimble will receive
thirty votes in Jefferson County.

relgi6n higher than that to the Constitution.
II No Interference with the rights Of citi.
Benship aleady acquired by Foreigners, and
the protection Of law to all who honestly emi
crate from love OF liberty but the exclusion OF
foreign paupers and felons, aud refusal to
extend the right Of suffrage to all who come
hereafter until they shall have resided p years
in tho United States and complied with the
naturalization Laws.
III. Opposition to all political organizations
composed Exclusively Of Foreigners, and to
Foreign Military Companies, and to all attempts
TO exclude the Bible from Schools supported by
the government"
w.. Slavery is local-not national we op
pose its extension in any of our territories, and
the Increase Of its political power by the ad'
mission into the Union of any Slave State OF
otherwise; aud we demand Of the General Gov
srnment an immediate redress OF the great
wrongs which have been inflicted upon the
CAUSE of Freedom and the American character
by the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, and
the Introduction Of Slavery into Kansas in vio
lation Of law, by the force Of arms, and the de-
struction Of the elective franchise.
Y. IL humble imitation Of the wisdom o.

affairs OF Foregn States /; yet on all proper &C
o1ion, We win not withhold our sympathy
from any people aspiring to be free.

THE ELECTION ON TUESDAY NEXT

The ELECTION ON TUESDAY NEXT
Never since the adoption of the first
Constitution for the State of Ohio, has
there been held an election so important
in all of its bearings as is the election on
Tuesday next.
The Slave Democracy has urged upon
the voters of Ohio, the catholic question,
and charged that this is the main issue. -
Should they be successful in any locality
it will be claimed to be pro-Slavery and
catholic victory over aDti-slavery freedoms
and American Protcstantism. In this view
of the question, may we not confidently ex
pect every friend of the down trodeu slave
and every friend of American Protestant
ism TO be up and at work in every city
county, village, and township in the State
Let the friends Of freedom and our free
institutions RALLY TO THE POLLS, anC
give death blow TO pro-slavery huukcr
dom, by the triumphant election of the
American Republican Ticket. .

state that by the use of bottle Of this in

the Doctor to say that they are loud IN
their praise Of this medicine, and shoald

New YORK, Sept. 28.--The city Of Sc
bastopol was attacked in four different di-
rections.
The British attempted to storm the Re-
dan. ...
The French and Sardinians made uni.
ed attack on the Central Battery. at
tacks were all made simultaneously with
great spirit aud energy, and were most EN-
ineutly successful
One was made by Gen. Bosquot and
MacmahOn on the Malakof.
Both che Redan and Central Batteries
were at one time in the hands ofthe allies,
but it was found impossible to hold them;
under the accurate and murderous fire Of
the Russians.
A dispatch fIom the Sea of Azof, states
that the Allies are doing immense damage to
Russian vessels and merchandise along the
coast. The fisheries are almost entirely dcs-
troyod.
Two British steamers were about ascen-
