in the effect such an undertaking would
have towards advancing the interests OF
the place. Our expectations of making

than confirmed. Our position in the Of

we point to our work and refer confidently

About sixty years ago he stood in the
same room in which the meeting was now
held. and saw General Washington deliver

He spoke of the REPUBLICAN and Democratic

was educated as printer, and the first ar

the following letter, in answer to one inv-
ting Mr.. S. to visit the Miami Valley:
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. "a, 1856.
Ny DEAR SIR:-Your letter of the 9th
of September, after traveli g to Boston, at
last found me mere, where am still detained
under medical treatment, away from my
home, which have not visited since | left
it at the beginning of the late session OF
Congress, now ten months ago.
With sorrow inexpressble, am still con-
strained to all the care and reserve of an
invalid. More than four months have pas
sed since you clasped my hand as lay in
sensible at the Senate Chamber, and my
saysten is even now, so far from the firm
ness Of health, that any slight departure
from the prescribed rule, is sure 20 occasion
a relapse. could not reach Ohio except
by slow stages, and were | there, could
not have the sanction Of my physician in
exposing myself to the eXcitements of q
public meeting, even if said nothing
This is hard--very heard for me to bear, for
long to do something at this critical mo.
ment for the cause. What is life without
action!
For while at least, must leave tc
others the precious satisfaction of laborine
for Liberty and the redemption OF our coun.
try. But have the great comfort of know
ing that never before was so little needed
Good omens multiply, and do not doubt
that Fremont will be elected. God bless
Ohio for her gIorious testimony already, and
her more glorious promises. Believe me

NETT, of Waverly, aid you. He HAS BET
HIGH on FILLMORE; and is doing all he can
in that line!" Again the Salesman replies
Boiling is fit for his crimes to he in the
peritentary;" and so it goes on to the end
at cross purposes, Safeguarding poor Boil
ing, ard saying nothing about Grisvold or
his letter, which is the very thing by which
the frauds, fusions, and rascalities are prov
led. Boiling was poor, and wanted money.
Griswold was rich, and wanted office. Bol-
ing wrote to Griswod of his wants; told
him Of ''his labors,' and furnished him with
'.his tiguTes;" and told low the Buchanan
ticket might be carried. by deluding the
honest Americans into getting up indepen-
dent nominations. all of which Griswold
aids and abets, aud helps TO pay for.
A fraud unquestionably was intended by
Boiling. He made the whole matter one of
money, but Griswold fell in with it,applaud-
ed it, pointed out the sources from whence
he thought money could be obtained, GAVE
ONE HUNDRED DoLLARs HIMSELF, and then
spurred Boiling in his contemplated swindle,
by holding out inducements of money, for
Griswold expressly says: 81 have TALKED
WITH A NUMBER OF l EMocRATs WHO WOULD
BE READY IF THEY COULD SEE THREE COR
NERED FIGHr." If the morality of Boiling
was bad, the morality of Griswold was
worse than bad.
The evidence is complete, that a perfect
understanding existed between the leading
Fillmor ties and the Buchapiers found the
money, paid for the pageants, the hand bills
bought up the 'independent presses" sub
sidized the editors and orators, while the
leading Filmoretes in Cincinnati, perform
ed the parts of the Harlequins and the
clowns upon the stump, ard received the
spoils.
We have no doubt that many, perhaps all
OF the candidates put in nomination by this
corrupt, unpriEcipled and infamous combi-
nation, are wholly ignorant of the fact that
they were put forward by the Bolings, the
Wayne GIiswolds, the E. p. Nortons, the
]. ]. Farans and others, to secure the cleo,
tion Of the Locosoco State and Congression-
al tickets. They were honest, but they
were in the hands of wi-e-pulIers and trick
sters, who never knew the meaning of the
deed. And we have no doubt that they will
or many of them at least, decline running,
now that the fraud is exposed. The honest
Fillmore men owe it TO themselves to vote
for the Republican candidates, to show the
horror which Il ey have of such rascally
trickery %. s. Journal.

bundle, and containing apparently the same
tickets, lying at his front door. He was
pleased at fnding them again, and supposed
1t was all right; but on it icing suggested
that they had been changed, an examination
was made, and it was found that fraudulent
tickets headed Republican Ticket" bal
containing the name OF JAMES F. HARLEs-

and unscrupalous trick, and would have pro-
