CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The delegates of the Ninth Congressional
District met in Convention at Forest on the
26th inst, and organized by calling Judge
Carey, of Wyandot to the chair.
Hon. COOPER K. WATSON, being present
addressed the convention for about an hour.
Committees on credentials and resolutions
were appointed. One hundred and sixty
delegates were present. On the first ballo-
CooPER K. WATSON received Isl votes, 2t
scattering. Mr.. WATSON was then declared
the unanimous nominee of the Convention
by three tremendous cheers.
The convention then adjourned to tht
Railroad depot, when Mr.. WATSON wa:
again called for; he continued to speak un
til the arrival Of the cars, and then started
direct for Washington, to be present at the
extra session. We never attended Con.
vention where more harmony and good
feeling were manifested, and where there
was stronger determination expressed tc
elect the nominee.
Mr.. WATSON has proved himself faith
ful Representative during the last session.
and the people of the Ninth district espe-
cially, have good reason to be proud of him.
The official proceedings of the Convention
will be published next week.

How ~ HnwI.

NV AADsNAe
The administration sheets all through the
land are uttering terrible maledictions
against the House of Representatives, be-
cause the army appropriation bill failed to
become law, and they can scarcely find
abuse enough to heap upon them. Now
the truth of the matter is the House DONE
WHAT WAS RIGHT, and the people of the
land will sustain them in refusing to vote
money to pay the rufians, Atchison, String
fellow and Buford for numbering free State
men in Kansas. UPON THE SENATE RESTS
THE WHOLE RESPONSIBILITY 1t insisted up
on FORCING through the House measures
which Gen. Cass pronounced disgrace to
the age. Toomb's bill directly acknowledged
that those laws were not valid, and promi-
nent democrats admitted it was not treason
to disobey them. No, the Senate were de-
determined to FORCE the Missouri laws,
upon that distracted country, and the House
were as fully determined that unless some
such measure was adopted, in spite Of any
thing the north could do, Kansas would be
given to<he Slave drivers of Missouri.
Let US see now what the House did do
In this matter;-we copy from the Cleus.
Herald:
"The House passed the bill admitting
Kansas under its Topeka Constitution; but
the Senate refused that bill as means to
quiet that Territory.
"The House passed Dunn's bill which re-
stored the Missouri Compromise; the SEN
ate rejected that overture.
'The House attached proviso to the Ju-
dietary appropriation bill, which required
that prosecutions against the prisoners in
Kansas should be abandoned; to this the
Senate would not agree, and the House re-
ceded from that proyiso.
'The House attached to the same bill
proviso that no part Of the money should
be expended in the prosecution for treason,
of the Kansas prisoners; to this the Senate
would not agree, and the House again yield
ed.
@Thus was Olive Branch after Olive
Branch rendered by the House to the Sen
ate, to bring peace and justice to poor, dis
tracted, slavery -trodden Kansas, Then
came the test as to the sincerity of the Sen
ate in its pretended good viii towards Kan
sas9 The Senate replies: We viii enforce
those laws with the United States bayonets,
and the same Appropriation Dill which gives
money to the army for defence of our from
tires against Indians, shall give money for
the purpose of erecting a GORDON around
Kansas against the approach of Freedom.
~Sueh is the matter in brief, and such the
conclusive proof that the Administration
and the Buchanan party are determined to
sustain the laws of Kansas"

LETTER FROM THE COUNTRY.
Number 2.
MetaIiesburgh, Aug. 25, sc.

MetaHesDurgh, aug. 70, 90.
EDITOR OF THE JoURNAL:
SR-Last Saturday a locofoco buz-
yards from your place dropped down among
us-it was your lean, hungry-looking blue
5uzzard, the States Attorney. How raw
enous that creature is after carrion. It
seems to be taken for granted that the peo-
pie here are all fools, and believe everything
that is said to them by these earrion crows,
therefore they constantly hover about here.
This last one told the people that last win
ter the legislature increased the salary of
the Governor, and the pay Of all the State
officers. Don't you pity the wretch that,
even from hunger, could tell such silly false
hoodsl
He told the people that the Legislature last
winter increased the taxes. Aint he well
informed lawyer and fine gentlemenl
He told the people that the laws of last
winter had not been distributed for the
reason that the Republicans were keeping
them back and dare not have them distrib-
uted until after the election. At the mo-
lnent he told this there lay the laws in the
county auditors office for distribution and
if they had been kept back at all, it was the
fault of Sam Medary, the prince of locofoeos
Jess the tail-who had the job ofprint-
ing them and getting them ready for the
people. He, perhaps, did want them kept
back that the people should not see them
What do you think, Mr.. Editor, of this
poor, silly buzzardl What an appetite he
has for feeding on earrion; 50 much 50 that
the live bodies he touches stink before they
are dead. He was not content to deyour
the eareasses ofhis own aforesaid falsehoods,
but he, too, had to tell that cid defunct sto-
ry of Fremont being a Catholic, that he
might thereby digup more earrion to feed on
How he did stuff his hungry nav with that
putrId falSehOod-
The meeting was attended by about
twenty-three, half of whom were republicans,
who were laughing in their sleeves at the
silly presumption of the poor, little prose-
cutor. Won't he want US to vote for him
again. Do these locofoco slave catchersex-
pect to live after election! If they do, how
are they to answer to the people for their
falsehoods? They must have machine in
your town somewhere to manufacture SO
many lies for them to run over the country
and tell; nothing but machinery could get
out such falsehoodS.
Yours, ANT Nest No. Two

mEmBEIas or CONGREss,


The Ohio State Journal says:
awe believe that the Republicans hav
made their nominations in Ohio in every dis
trict but one, the Seneca district represen
ted by Hon. Cooper K. Watson. The Re
publicaus have remominated every one o
their Representatives who have stood firm
and true, by unanimous votes. No man ha.
proved truer, to the good cause than Cooper
K. Watson, and we trust be also viii receive
the unanimous endorsement Of his cOnsttu
ents, and be returned to Congress by {
large majority. This is Mr.. Watson's frs
term in Congress, and although he has no
mingled largely in the debates, he has al
ways been ready with his vote to sanction
the cause of Freedom and the Constitution
in the House of Representatives.
"We were an eyewitness to his activity
and zeal in the great contest for Speaker
and no man contributed more to the glori-
Gus result which secured the election oI
Mr.. Banks, than Cooper K. Watson We
hope that the Ohio phalanx of Republican
members will be again returned from Ohio
1t would be an achievement worthy of oul
noble State"
We are glad to state that the Republi-
cans of the Ninth District have endorsed Mr.
WArsoNs course in Congress, and on Tues
day last, in Convention, they unanimously
re-nomiuated him; and they are going to
elect him too.
The accompanying list are the Republic
can nominees, we hope to see them all sue
eesSful on the ID Tuesday in October:
1st. Timothy C. Day, Hamilton County
ID. John A. Gurley, Hamilton;
81. Lewis D. Campbell, Butler;
4th. Matthias H. Nichols, Allen;
5th. Richard Mott, Lucas;
9th. Jonas R. Emrie, Highland;
9Th. Aaron Harlan, Greene;

sgrHE TRUE ISSUE.n

We earnestly hope every reader of ours
will study with care the article from the
Richmond (Va) Enquirer, with the above
title, which will be found in this number OF
our paper. The Enquirer is the leading
southern organ of the democracy. 1t has
the fairness and boldness to state the case
as it is. The northern democratic papers
are striving to hoodwink the people. They
tell them that the extension of slavery is
not the true issue; some brazen-faced liars,
like the editor of the Messenger, even assert
that the policy of the democratic party is
opposed to the extension of slavery. But
here is a man who dares tell the truth
We wish every northern democrat could
read this article. Let each republican who
reads this article save it and read it to his
democratic neighbor. No northern demo-
cratic paper will republish this article. They
dare not. Read in connection with it the
letter from the Hon. A. G. Brown, of Miss
issippi, also published to-day, and see how
southern leaders understand the position of
Platform Buchanan. Could the northern
people be made clearly to understand the
'true issue" in the campaign, sham democ-
racy would never be heard of in free state
again.

DISUNI0N.

The Messenger is convulsed with terror
lest the Union should be dissolved if Ere
mont is elected. Who will dissolve the Uni
on in that event? Not Fremont. He de-
clares himself determined to maintain it,
Not even the lying Messenger dare assert
that Fremont intends to dissolve the Union.
Not the republicans. They declare that
'the Union shall be preserved" and they
intend to preserve it, if necessary, by the
strong arm. The Messenger stultifes it.
self by publishing now and then the sayings
of some individual who may or may not
support Fremont to the effect that if this
Union is to be made vast engine of op-
preston, it were better dissolved. We ap-
peal from all this trumpery to the republi-
can platform, the deliberate declaration Of
the party; that platform begins with the
solemn assertion that Hthe Union shall be
preserved" The Republican party cherish
es no designs against the Union. Not even
the election of Buchanan and the adoption
of slavery extending policy, viii make the
republicans disunionists. We shall only
"piek our fints and try again." Where
then is disunion to come from if Fremont
is elected? FROM THE SOUTHERN DEMocRA-
CY; from the friends and allies of the Mes
sepger; from such men as the editor of the
Richmond Enqirer; from such men as
Brooks, TOombs and Stephens at the south,
backed up at the north by such men as
Douglas, Richardson, and the whole pack of
northern doughfaces, who are now bowling
disunion at the top of their throats. These
men will march to the work of disu-
Mon, if Fremont is elected, to the music of
ten thousand such penny whistles as the
Messenger plays on from week to week.
Remember, then, this howl of disunion pro-
ceeds from men who themselves intend to dis
solUe the Union If Fremont is elected Their
course reminds US of two men who own and
occupy house in partnership. One insists
on carrying all the keys, and reglating the
going out and coming in of all the inmates;
insists, in short, on having the supreme con-
troll of the house, even to quartering his SER
wants on the premises of his neighbor.-
When the other objects to this the fanatic
declares that in case of non-submisson to his
terms, he 'OiH burn his half Of the house,
Just so with this sham democracy. If the
people refuse to sustain It's domineeriug and
internal policy and elect Fremont, it will
burn its half of the house! it will dissolve

Buchanan as Good a Nan as Pierce.

Our readers are aware that the members
of the lower House of Congress, hold eve
ming sessions for talking politics, which have
acquired the cognomen of the Congress
ional Debating Society" On Monday eve
ming, a reporter gives the following notice
of the speech of Ruiiin, of North Carolina !;
The Congressional Debating Society held
a session this evening, at which Mr.. Ruffin
of North Carolina made speech condemn
ing the Peoples party. He said it was
charged that Buchanan is not sound on the
Slavery question; but he contended that he
had been sound ever since 1919, when he
made a speech in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
"When Pierce was a candidate" said the
speaker, 'we were told that he would not
prove true, but he has proved to be the
soundest Constitutional President that we
ever had and, Sir, James Buchanan will
prove as true to Slavery as Franklin Pierce
has done, for he is Just as good man as
Pierce ever was" A Pennsylvania Buchan-
an man, who listened to this harrangue, re-
marked that he was almost pursuaded to
vote for Fremont; and if this speech could
be scattered through his State (Pennsylva-
MAJ it would secure it for Fremont, sure.
