3 Lieutenant Governor Myers Of
N Toledo

This gentleman who has received several
offices at the handssol the Democracy of the
State, has gone over to the Republicans
Let him go. He has wanted TO get there
for some time. He is the same man whom
the fusionists last year, caused to be tried
ON charge of fraud committed as judge OF an
election. He now turns round and kisses
the rod that snote him.
In exchange for Mr.. MYERS who was
the Democratic candidate in 1853 aud 1855
we have received into our ranks two gentle
men of far greater influence and WORTH
Nelson BARRERE late Whig candidate for
Governor of Ohio, and Mr.. BRAKEMAN late
Wing candidate for.State Treasurer. AS 9
rule, since the campaign opened, the Democ
racy have gained five men of influence fol
every one they have lost.

1t beinq the intent and meaning Of this act
not 10 legislate slavery into any Territory or
State, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to
leave the people thereof perfectly free to
form and regulate their domestic institutions
in their own way. subject only to the Con-
stitution of the United States"
Cut out the above extract from the Kan

you that Douglas bill legislated and ex
tended slavery into Kansas, prove him to be
a liar by taking it out and reading it to him

Hon. james Monroe, nephew of the Ex-
President, and fO' several years wing M.
C. from New York, can't go for Fremont
and is out for Buchanan. Not a single mem.
Ter Of Gen. Harrioa'S Cabinet supports Ere
mont, and but one Of Gen. Tay!or's. All the
Ex,Presidents OF the Republic are against
Fremont. The adopted son aud heir oI
Jackson is defending Buchanan. The son
and sons.in law of Harrison, the oldest son:
of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, are also
all for Buchanan.-NewH Haven Register.

A friend has handed US, says the Summit
Beacon, letter from Mr.. Letter dated July
80, with request that we publish the follow
ing extract:-
"We passed Dunn's bill for Kansas yes
terday, in a very Objectionable manner. 1t
has many good provisions; but it extends
the Fugitive Slave Law over Kansas aad
Nebraska, and perpetuates slavery there un-
til 1858, and makes~al children born there
in up to that time, of slave mothers, slaves.
This was too much for me. have always
snid-and now repeat my pledges-that
will never vote to recognize slavery. l will
meyer vote to make any human being a slave
| will never vote to extend slavery one sim
gle foot. will never vote for the Fugitive
Slave Law or its extenton over any free
territory. | therefore voted against Dunn's
Bill, solitary and alone Of all our party

New York d. X.

It will be seen by the telegraph despatch
in our paper to-day, that the two sections Of
the Democracy of the Empire State have
met in Convention and formed hearty un.
ion. putting in nomination but one State and
Electoral ticket. This is really good news,
for when the Democracy Of New York are
united they are invincible. Put down New
York in the Democratic column.

they do battle. What is more, they are
growing stronger every day. The more
thorough and extensive the discussion ofthe
Democratic platform, the greater the acces'
sions to the party. With the true-hearted
Democracy of Portage County to lean upon
for support, the Sentinel will be sustained.
It's patronage is increasing every day.
We enter upon the new year with high
hopes.

Pitts Threshing Machine.

DTTT'S Machine for Threshing and Cleaning
Il Grain stands without rival in the world. Ii
Is the first successful portable machine of its kind
ever put in operation in this or any other country.
1t was offered for the public use before the har-
vest Of 1887, and from that time down TO the pres
ent moment there has been no improvement made
in the principle of the machine by any inventor
in the same line.
At the great trial of Threshing Machines in the
Kingdom of France, in competition with the best
Machines of all foreign countries, the Pitts nyen-
ton won the highest prize given to any exhibitors
for competition.
At the great trial in France i'm 1855, the net re-
suits of half hours earnest work by the rival
threshers and six men with fails Ga force estimat
ed about equal to one of the machines), is as fol-
| lows:
Six men with fails, GO litres of wheat
| Pitts American Thresher, TAO 4"
Claton's English Thresher, 40
Duncir's French Thresher $50
Pinet's Belgian Thresher $50 4"
| Thus it is seen that the American Machine
threshed and cleaned 740 litres of wheat in 30 min
utes, and the English, French and Belgian Ma
chimes combined, but $40; showing that the diff
ference between the American, and three others
combined, was only 70 litres of wheat in favor of
the latter

American citizens to a surrender of constitutional
Liberty in any part Of the Republics
Answer me further, what is that measure OF
tranquility and quiet that a republican people
ought to seek, or can wisely enjoyH 1t is not the
dead quiet, the stagnant tranquility of cowardly
submission to usurpation and despotism, but it is
Just so much of peace quiet and tranquility, as is
consistent with the preservation of constitutional
Liberty. 1t would be hard alternative, but, il
the Senate should insist on forcing on me, or on
the people represent, the choice between peace
under despotism, or turbulence with Freedom
then must say, promptly and fearlessly, give me
so much of safety as l can have, and yet remain
a freeman, and keep all quiet and all safety be-
yond that for those who are willing to be slaves
