DEmocRATIC MEETINGS.

If We we were to furnish our readers
with extended accounts of all the meet
ings held in our County in a single week,
we should be compelled to exclude eve-
~ thing else. Our friends must excuse
US if sometimes we are too brief. The
following meetings have been held du-
ring the past week, in addition to those
mentioned elsewhere. e
At Rowsburg, on Friday evening last,
u. s. SAMPsEL and Gen. Fulton, of this
place, addressed a large number of the
gallant Democracy of Old Perry. The
house, we understand, would not contain
over half that were present, and every
window was filed with eager listeners.
T. g. BUSHNELL addressed the De-
mocracy of Hanover Township on Thurs
day evening, atLoudonyille. His speech
was well received, and the best of feel
ing prevailed.
The Democracy of Vermillion Town
ship also had a spirited meeting, in the
town of Hayesyille, on;the same evening,
which was ably addressed bs JOHN
DoUGHERrT, Esq. We are glad to hear
that Mr.. DoUeHERrY has again taken
the stump;-he is an effective speaker,
ard cannot fail to win votes.
On Friday evening the Hickory Club
of Orange was addressed BY DR.. CRANE,
in his usual happy style. On the same
evening, L. j. KENNY held forth TO about
800 live Democrats at the Centre of
Jackson Township.
Ga Friday afternoon a ine Hickory
pole was raised at FIEDLAY's Tavern.
ono mile east o. Ashland, and an elegant
flag, got up by the ladies in that vieini-
ty, was run up amid three hearty cheers.
j. A. McCLUsKY Esq, was the. Orator
for the occasion.
On Saturday afternoon last, an ele.
CANT Hickory pole was raised in Milton
Township, II miles west of Ashland, and
the stars and stripes run up. Gen. FuL-
TON and 7. G. BUSHNELL addressed the
people. Look out for q good report
from Milton Township on election day.
Democrats, keep the ball rolling. IF
We continue to gain until election day
as we have during the last three weeks,
Ashland County is good for eight hun
dred majority in October.

Two LIES

The TINS, this week, is out in
advance of its regular publication day.
1t is full of lies aud Misrepresentation,
some Of which we shall notice in our
next. The following wholesale false
hoods against our excellent nomi &c for
Sheriff, we desire to nail before they
get cold. Speaking of the 9th ballot,
on which Mr.. HooTMAN was nominated,
the Times says:
They tried it again, aud on the
sixth, aad last ballot, succeeded in
nominating a nan who did not obtain a
plurality of the popular vo ties, nor the
largest number of delegates on the first
ballot-a nan who is 50 unpopular, that
We venture to predict he will not OBJ
tain near the strength Of his party, even
in his own township.
The game Of our opponents has been
developed rather too early. They intend
to raise a great cry about Mr.. lioor-
MAN not being the choice of the people,
and that he has been forced upon the
people against their will. No6, it will
be seen by reference to the vote which
VIC publish in another place, that none
OF the candidates for Sheriff received a
majority of all the votes cast, conse-
quontly the delegates were left free to
choose who they pleased after the first
ballot. Now, every intelligent Demo
IRA tknows that had either Mr.. CAmpBELL
or Mr.. Baowy not been in the field, Mr..
HOFFMAN would have received a large
majority of the popular vote, and it is
both mean and unfair to take advantage
of the peculiar circumstances of the
contest, and charge Mr.. HOFFMAN with
being AL unpopular man. As to the
charge that Mr.. HOFFMAN cannot carry
the strength of his party in his own
Township, it is simply ridiculous. We
will arbiirate a Hat with our neighbor,
that Mr.. HOFFMAN, will run ahead of his
ticket in his own Township. Dare our
neighbor take the bet?

Fever and Ague--Certain Cure.

No more use for Tonic mixtures, Quinine, Fowl.
erss Solution, Arsenic, Mercury, OF any of the vii.
lainous or nauseous compounds. which only relieys
one disease to implant another more deadly. and
which sends its unhappy victim finally, with q
wrecked and broken constitution, to an early
grave. Try Carter's Spanish Mixture, which con-
tains none ofthese dangerous drugs, but cures By
acting specifically on the Liver, purifsi ing the blood
and strengthening the system, thus enabling nafura
to recuperate its exh listed energies BY opening The
pores ofthe skin, and expelling from the body all
impurities and old medicines, which clog and ms
tard it's free operation. More than one ttonsaH4
persons have been cured by CarteF's Spanish MAY
ture, after everything else had signaliy failed. a.
a sample of its remarkable effects. Messrs Dayisf
Hicks, OF AutsugavilIe. Ala, writes us thai II
cured a gentleman of chronic Fever and Ague.
which all the enoIts ofphysicians and their RENE,
dies, could not subdue. He only took three bot,
ties. They say il sells very rapidly, sud maintaina
its high reputation ell through the country.

is our ticket. With pride we point to
the men who compose it; and challenge
comparison with the moDgrel set opposed
to us, either as to qualifications or per-
sonal merit. No better ticket could
have been selected, or one more worthy
of the earnest and unanimous support OF
the Democracy of the County. Demo
Gratis, this ticket ought to and must sue
coed. The mutual interests of the
County and the Democratic party re-
quire it, aud it will be a burning shame
to allow a single man on it to be defeat
ed. Let the watch word be-saceep out
the GaLphins! Let US no longer fill
our County Offices with men, who use
all the influence and surplus means their
official positions give them. to defeat
and break down the Democratic party.
Away with all heart. burnings and COM
plants of defeat. Pursue such cours
for a few years, aud we will no longer
have offices to give. Every man should
work for the achole ticket and nothing
but tho ticket. Black Republication
and every other ism opposed to US in
this County must first BIZ 0',nfhilated,
CRUSHED OUT, and her it will be time
enough to settle foolish differences and
party chickering's. We hope and conf
IDENTIFY expect every mau to do his duty
TO work as the Importance of the con
test demands he should work-aud a
glorious and overwhelming victory awaits
us.

MEETING OF THE HICKORY CLUB
ON THURSDAK MISUNDERSTOOD
SPEECHES AND GREAT ENTHU-
SIASM.

The meeting Of the Montgomery
Township Hickory Club on Thursday
evening last, in point of numbers and
enthusiasm, was one of the very best
that has been held during the campaign.
The spacious Court room was well filed
with genuine, hard.fsted Democrats,
whose devotion to principle and enthu-
siasm for Buck and BREcK are no longer
matters of speculation.
Mr.. GATES, the Presidento Of the Club,
called the meeting to order, and intro
dueed A. HART, Esq, Editor of the
Sentinel, Raveana, Ohio. We had pre-
%yiously formed a high opinion of the tai
ents of Mr.. HART, from perusing his
valuable paper, but his speech on this
occasion more than met our expectations.
Calm, clear and logical, it could but
convince all who heard it, not only of
the honesty of the speaker, but also, of
the correctness of his positions. He
refuted the foul ISLANDERS of our oppo-
nents in a mastery manner, and boldly
charged and proved them to be the real
authors OF the outrages in Kansas. He
paid q lofty tribute to the sterling mer-
it's of JAMES BUCHANAN, and his com
parison of the claims of JOHN G. Fac
MONT with those of the Democratic
nominee was overwhelming. The con-
%clusion If his speech was a piece
of ~eloquence, and reused his audience to
the highest pitch Of enthusiasm Mr..
HART was listened to with breathiess
attention, aud was frequently interrupt
cd with deafeniug applause. His
speech has given him a place III the hearts
of those Democrats who heard him, O
which he may well be proud.
Mr. HART was followed by Hon. B
BURNS, Of Mansfield, in a very humor
Gus speech of a half-hour in length
BARNEY is one of 'em, and when h'
makes up his mind to put an audience
in a good humor, there is 20 resisting
him. At a late hour the meeting ad
jaurned with three hearty cheers fol
BUCHANAN and BREcKINRibcE.

We learn tIat some mischievous per-
sons have stolen the flag from the Dem
ocratic pole at Riddles. We are in
clined to think it a Border Rufian trick;
that the flag is not stolen, but merely
concealed, so that the charge of theft
may be made on the Fremont boys of
that ncighborhood. No Republican
was ever guilty of so mean a trick
we can't say as much for the Buchan-
iers.
HzNWe find the above dirty squib
in last weeks Times. Such low filings
can only have the effect of placing that
sheet still lower in the estimation of all
honorable men. Now, we have been
credibly informed that this is the fourth
offence of the kind, committed by these
Republican thieves within q month
past. We do not wonder that evcn the
editor of the Times should feel ashamed
of the company he keeps. We shall
certainly not complain if the offence is
repeated whenever M opportunity is
presented, as We happen to know that
several Democratic votes have been
made thereby. This hatred for the
stars and stripes is natural with Black
Republicans; their predecessors, the
Tories of the Revolution, were possess
ed of a similar feeling.
