in the Fillmore party in Ohio has not for
some time past been a subject Of doubt
with those who have taken the trouble to
look closely into matters. They did not
expect to carry the State nor a single dis
trict in which nominations have been made,
but the Fillmore tickets were placed in the
field for the purpose of aiding in the sue
cess of the bogus Democracy. We want
to be distinctly understood as charging
this upon the leaders, and not upon the
body Of the party. The Fillmore leaders
and Democratic leaders have understood
each other very well for some time, and
the money of the latter has been eontribu-
ted freely to the support of the former.
The friendly relations existing between
the leaders of the two parties convinced us
some time ago that their object was one
and the same, viz: the success of the bo-
gus Democracy. We now have proof of
this fact, and proof of system of corrup-
ton that has no equal, We believe, in the
history of Ohio politics. Witnesses that
we shall introduce are NJ. A. Boiling and
w. Griswold. The former has been a
leading Fillmore speaker in this State, and
the latter is the Democratic candidate for
the Board of Public Works. Here is a
statement made by M. A. Boiling:

have charged that the Democratic
party to great degree furnished the mo-
ney to the American party of Ohio, for
the purpose or making the State canvass,
and have understood that the same has
been denied. l therefore make the follow
ing statement, TO wit: | received from
Douglas & Co. $4,000, in New York city,
on the 22d of June, and disposed of the
same for the interest of the Fillmore party
of the Stale of Ohio. These funds were
contributed by the Democratic party. |
have raised funds from Charles Rule and
J. j. Faran, and paid the same to Nor
ton and the Secretary of the State Com
mittee of Ohio, and l know that the Fill
more men who are stumping the State are
paid by the Democratic party.
| also state that J. ]. Farran paid to E.
P. Norton 500 on the 22d of Sept, 1856.
l also state that James B. Guthrie, Vice
President of the State Committee of Ohio,
received money from Charles Rule, of Gin
cinnati. | have received money from mem
bers of the Democratic party hereabouts-
from Joseph Cooper, 800; from w. Girls
void, candidate for Board of Public Works,
800; from J. S. G. Bart, S65, paid at the
instance of Gov. Medill-and various large
sums from other parties.
To all this I am willing to swear.
NJ. A. BOILING.
Upon this expose it is not necessary to
make single comment, as it explains
ITSELF
About the first of August Mr.. Boiling
was in correspondence with w. Griswold,
from whom he received the following let
ter. This is by mistake addressed to J.
NJ. instead of NJ. A. Boiling, but we print
it precisely as it was written. The origi-
nal of this letter NAV be seen If desired:
Letter from Wayne Griswold, Esq, the
Democratic candidate for Board of
Public Works, to M Il. Boiling, Esq,
the Representative in the National
Knov Nothing Council of The State
of Ohio. M

J. NJ. Boiling, Esq.-Dear Sir:-Your
letter came duly to hand. / hasten to
answer, as it is impossible for me to 90 to
the city for some time yet. l have nearly
twenty Democratic meetings to attend du-
ring the next two weeks. The Democracy
in this part Of the State are rousing up be-
yond all precedent. They are getting
alarmed at the .Abolitionist sentiments and
disunion doctrines of the Fremonters. l
think you would get aid from the Con-
gressional nominees in several districts
You ought to see Burt, McClain and
Cooper, and ask them for some assistance.
Show them your figures, and labors, and
necessities. Would not Emmett, of Wa
verify, aid you? he has bet high on Fill
more, and is doing all he can in that line
There is great fear yet among the Demo-
Gratis that the Fillmore men and Fremont
ers will unite on County, Congressional
and State tickets. In our county the Ere
monters have nominated a part of the
Fillmore ticket, and part new men. If
you can only get your tickets into the
field, that is, if You can get independent
Congressional nominations, and Fillmore
State ticket made of men who will stand,
and that is what many of them wont, you
will be able to get far more. | have talk
ed with number of Democrats who would
be ready if they could see three-cornered
fight. would get all your nominations
made as soon as you can, that will give you
great impulse-a great many of the old
Wings want full ticket, and that would
encourage the Democracy to a greater eff
fort. The Democracy are going to fight
noble battle in Ohio. They are at work
in every point of the State, united and de-
termined. We shall poll one hundred and
sixty-five thousand Democratic votes and
thirty-five thousand for Fillmore will in
sure a Democratic triumph. The only
thing is to get State ticket one that will
