Resotrsd Thatwe have every confidence
in our organ--7Ae Spirit Of Democracy--
which was the first newspaper in Ohio to
raise the name of JAMES BUCHANAN,
and will endeayor to increase its eircula-
ton, and consequent usefulness.
Reso'ced, That in our opinion the
present Fusion Legislature of Ohio, is a
weak and inefficient bedy--that it has
failed to redeem the promises made to the
people one year ago, and that our interests
demand that it should be pat cut of power
at the earliest period possible.
Before thevotc was taken on the adop-
ton of the resolutions, the Convention
was briefly addressed by j. r. MORRIS
and j. w. 0KEY, Esqrs. Mr.. 10y, o.
Benton, said he was directed by the De
mocracy of his township to say to the
Convention that Benton township would
give a larger majority for Buchanan and
Breckinridge, in proportion to the vote
polled, than any other township in thu
county.
On motion the Convention adjourned

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. August 28

+ One of the letters produced by Gen..
Cass, in the Senate, from Gen. Smith, to
the War Department., is dated Fort Leay-..
enworth, August 6th.-He would not me-
tice the report in the newspapers Of CON-
mittees applying to him for protection and
his refusal to grant it, and other such
things, if he did not see that the object
for which such reports were circulated,
are carried out by the members of Con-
gress, in resolutions ofinquiry. He pro-
nennced them all gross fabr;s.st;ons. In
the second letter, dated I1tii inst, Gen.
Smith stated he had received Il ictterfrom
Governor Shannon asking l.ila-s to. take
the field to prevent the ingrcss of Lanes
party. He added that the information
given to Gov. Shannon has been so exag-
Grated that declined. Capt. Wood with
his company of cavalry is upon the north
ern frontier, and l shall depend on his re-
port to govern my actions. Some of the
companies along the Kansas were sent by
their commanding officers at the Gov
ernor's request to break up the camps Of
armed men at several places designated.
On the arrival of the troops there, not on
! ly were no camps to be found, but none
had ever existed there or any where else
in the neighborhood. I know that each
party is trying to drive out their adver-
sares place no dependence on the re-
ports which do not come from what con-
slider good authority.

the rebellIous tribes, Others, far from be-
ing disnayed, have manifested hostile in
tentions, and been guilty Of feutrages, which,
If not designed to provokea conflict, serve
to show that the apprehensions oft is in
sufficient wholly to restrain their vicious
|propeasities. A strong force in the State
of Texas has produced the temporary sus-
pension Of hostilities there; but in New
Mexico, incessent activity on the part of
the troops is required to keep in check
the marauding tribes which iRfest that
Territory. The hostile Indians have not
been removed from the State of Florida,
and the withdrawal of the troops there
from leaving that object unaccomplished,
would be most injurious to the inhabitants,
and breach of the positive engagement
of the general government.
To refuse supplies to the army, therefore,
is to compel the complete cessation of all its
operations, and its practical disbandment,
and thus to invite hordes of predatory saw
ages from the western plains and the Rocky
Mountains to spread devastation along a
| frontier of more than four thousand miles
in extent, and deliver up the sparse pop
ulation of a vast tract of country to rapine
and murder.
Such, in substance, would be the direct
and immediate effects of the refusal e1
Congress, for the first time in the history
OF the government, to grant supplies for
the maintenance of the army; the inevita-
BILE waste of millions of public treasure;
the infiction of extreme wrong upon al
persons connected with the military estab
lishment by service employment, or con
tracts; the recall of our forces from thu
field; the fearful sacrifice of life and incal
culable destruction of property on the re
mote frontiers; the striking of our nation
al flag on the battlements of the fortresse
which defend our maritime cities agains
foreign invasion; the. violation of publ,
honor and good faith; and the discredi
Of the United States in the eyes of tn
civilized world.
l confidently trust that these consider
ations and Others appertaining to the do
nestle peace of the country which canno
fail to suggest themselves to every patri
otic mind, will, on reflection, be dul
appreciated by both houses of Congress
and induce the enactment of the requisit
provisions of law for the support of th
army of the United States.

Our County Ticket.

To the people Of this county we say
our convention has put in nomination q
FIRST rate ticket. The vote polled was
very large, all things considered; almost
twice as large as last year, when there
were several more officers to nomi-
nate. }aI|i{JtIfl INIT.
Mr.. HOLIDAY, the candidate for Au-
ditor, is the present Incumbent of that Off
ce. and is so we'll known to the citizens of
the county that it is wholly unnecessary
for US to say word in regard to him.
The fact that he had no opposition is
abundant evidence that the people are de-
sirous to have him serve second term.
a. JOHN w. WHEELER, the candidate for
Commissioner, is a resident of Franklin
township. He,is an Industrious, honest
and energetic man, and has always taken
a deep interest in the affairs of the county.
He. is admirably qualified for the Office for
which he is nominated
ELIJAH MCMAHON, the candidate for
Infirmary Directories served one term in
that Office to the entire satisfaction ofeyery-
body. He is acknowledged to be very
efficient member of the present Board
He had no opposition.
1 ( r. = =. Y. q.
| JoIIN ADAMS, the candidate for county
Surveyor, has been all over the county
pursuing his ayocation, and is doubtless
we'll known to most of our citizens. Ht
is an industrious man, good surveyor
and will always be 'on hands" when he il
wanted. i4s.si9
The unsuccessful candidates were COCO
men; and there is no one sof them bu
would have made good officer. Some
tof them we are we'll satisfied would hav,
run much better if they had been bette
known. Let them now show their mag
nanimity by going to work cheerfully TO
their successful rivals.

Oh, what. a fb! In looking over the
Convention we do not believe that there
were over fifteen persons present outside
of Center township; at least not more
than that number who were not Buchanan

the meeting from being an entire failure
was that the Democrats were holding their
primary meeting for Center township, at
the Auditors Office, adjoining the court
house, at which 223 votes were polled
for the Democratic candidates,

accountants, who formerly finished their
business education in its classes, bear
unanimous testimony Of its superior train
ing for business. (See new circular, page

a CONGRESS.

Congress is still disputing over the
Army Appropriation bill. The House
insisted by a majority of from one to five
on attaching the Kansas amendment; the
Senate by a majority more than two shirds
refused the amendment. 1t is thought
that the Fremonters in the House when
the Indignation of the country becomes
known to them will back out from their
position.
No other business will be transacted du-
ring the extra session.

our District Ticket.

Everybody in this county is acquainted
with our cadidates for Congress and Com
mon Pleas Judge, at least by reputa-
tion. -. !. -
Mr. LAWRENCE, as candidate
for the State Senate, spoke in nearly every
township in the county last afail. Nearly
all Of our citizens had an opportunity of
hearing him, and knowing for themselves
that he is man of ability. The. very
J announcement that be will stump this
county in the present contest strikes terror
to the hearts Of the Abolitionists.
He will be among us again in short
time, battling down the opposers of the
Constitution and Union. More of this
hereafter
60 JUDGE OKEY is well known to our
citizens as young man of fine talent, and
yyery considerable requirements. He has
been q remarkably close student for q
number Of years. as every attorney at our
bar will willingly testify. There are very
few in this district who are equal to him
Gin legal knowledge, and not one superior
in judgment, and what we denomiuate
common sense. AS Judge ofthe Probate
Court Of this county, he has shown that
there is peculiar fitness in his talent for a
Judicial position, and has won forihimself
3 rcputatioh that very few men Of his age
attain. As a counsellor he has for years
been regarded as one of che safest at our
bar. DR.. Carroll, his opponent, bears tcs-
otimony that Judge okey is well qualified
for the Office for which he is a candi-
date. Z ssps o s
In his personal intercourse he is polite,
affable and pleasant. The kind of man
that anybody can approach without feel
ing at all embarrassed.
Now. fellow Democrats Of Monroe, "pull
tsf your coats androll up your sleeves" and
show what you can do when youfhaEe your
fayorites On ticket Let voice go up
