BLACK REPUBLICAN COUNTY
TICKET.

crat-ioined the Know Nothings two
years ago and has never left them to
our knovledge-he is one of the largest
stock holders in the Exchange Bank of
Ashland, and has allowed the Bank to
use the peoples money to speculate up
on. The Bank has always stood ready
to cash County Orders without deduc-
ton, which shows that the County funds
must have been deposited in its vaults.
He is one of the wealthiest men in the
County and does not noed the Office.
When we are convinced that the people
of this County are in favor of fostering
Banks of any kind, and are willing that
the County funds shall be used as Bank
ing capital, hen VIC will believe they de-
sire the reelection of JACOB GRAIL, and
not before.
Mr.. PORTER, for Auditor, is little
short of an o~ut-and-out Abolitionist,
and resides in Sullivan, a perfect hot
bed of isms. Having had the misfor-
tune to lose one of his limbs, we sup
pose his friends will attempt to work on
the sympathics of the people to secure
his election. Now We have no idea but
that Mr.. PORTER: if elected, will use all
the influence of his official position in
opposition to the Democratic party, and
will bestow all his official patronage up
on the opposition press. Such being
the fact, Democrats will do we'll, when
appeals are made to their sympathies,
to donate whatever sum they are able to
give for his relief, thereby doing agood
act without any sacrifice of principle.
Although a very worthy man personally,
yet MI. PORTER is known to be a bitter
partizap, and should not receive the votes
of Democrats.
Mr.. POTTER, for Sheriff, is a quiet,
pcaceable sort of o man-looks, like any
thing else but an officer of justice-al-
ways voted the Wing ticket until that
party died-soon after joined the Know
Nothings-is a rampant Black Republi-
can, and has a Constitutional hatred of
the Democratic party. He was noni-
mated over men who have been far more
active in the party than himself, and
who justly feel indignant at being thus
sighted. Mr.. POTTER, although good
man, will be easily beaten--he cannot
carry the strength of his own party.
With Mr.. CAREY we have no person
al acquaintance, but learn from a relia-
BILE source that he was one of the Know
Nothing leaders of Green Township in
the palmy days of that organization.
He has no particular strength and might
as we'll prepare for defeat. -
For Prosecuting Attorney we have
WIN. B. ALLISON, Esq. William is rath
er a singular specimen Of humanity-a
sort of political joker-a kind of a "now
you see him and now you don't " sort Of
a man. At first, it was hard for him to
support the nomination of Fremont
whether this nomination will increase
his ardor remains to be seen. He was
a charter member of the first Know
Nothing lodge in Ashland, and vas a
delegate to the Philadelphia Convention
which nominated FILLMORE. He was
born and raised a Wing, and stumped
this County for Scorr in 1852. We
presume he has no hopes of being elect
cd. The Democracy have a little Mus
tang" in reserve who will surely dis
lance him in the race.
Mr.. GRABILL, for Infrmnry Director,
was once a very good man, but has been
seduced into bad company. He will un-
doubtedly receive poor Trays reward.
We do not wish to disguise the fact
that this ticket has some strength. We
have no doubt, however, that every man
on it can be beaten if proper effort is
made. The fact that four out of the
six have been prominent members of the
Know Nothing organization, should of
itself prevent every foreigner from vot-
ing the ticket. Democrats may rest
assured that no effort will be spared to
elect these men. Let our friends through
out the county labor INCREASINGLY to de-
feat this County ticket. The opposition
leaders have not the slightest hope of
electing Fremont. They are only keep
ing up a show of fight, to carry the To-
cal elections. Once in power at home,
they can keep up their home press and
quietly wait for something to turn up.
Mark it-this is the last year of the ex-
istence of the ~so-called Republican par
ty. It will be ANNIHILATED-CRUSH-
ED OUT-in November. Let The De-
mocracy triumph by a majority such as
we know they are capable of giving, and
Dur County is secure for the next four
years. If we are defeated, we may cx-
pect strong opposition hereafter, no mat
ter what turn the politics Of the country
may take. Let US therefore work US
the Importance of the contest demands.
