A LESSON FOR HONEST VOTERS.


why the Fillmore party kept the field. A
mong the rest we quoted some remarks made
in our streets by Mr.. Paige, the Fillmore
nominee for Congress in this district, who
openly stated that the Fillmore men intend
ed to 30 manage their canvass as to beet the
Republicans whatever else happened.
I'VE intend" said he, "to make fuss
enough soith Fillmore 10 give the State Bss-
chanan. II zoe can't do that (by an indirect
support Of third candidates) zoe wM vote for
him directly. You may bet that Ohio wiN
vots for Buchanan"
The coong between the Known Nothings
and the Slave Democracy has long been the
subject of observation and comment in this
city. The leaders of the two parties attend
each others consuls about arranging the nom
nations, ond are constantly "chcek by iowl."
In the Commercial of this morning, the
Fillmore men are patted on the shoulder and
praised for their good behaviour towards the
Democracy, while all sorts of things are
charged to the Black Republicans. Of course
every politician knows that these things have
very significant meaning; and, though
they may look very much like meal, yet an
old experienced rat would not be long in dis
covering that there was cat at the bottom
of the tub with nimble feet and sharp claws.
We have further proof in this fact to-day in
the following letters which we find in the
Cincinnati Gazette, showing the utter corrup-
ton and dishonesty of this Fillmore move
ment. The witnesses whom we shall intro
Dice are NJ A. Boiling and w. Griswold.---
The former has been leading Fillmore speak
er in this State, and at the great ~ Y. meet
ing was appointed to make welcoming
speech 10 Mr.. F., the latter is the Democrat
ic candidate for the Board of Public Works.
Here is statement made by NJ. A. Boiling:
Specification as to the Cash Paid 6y tie

have charged that the Democratic party
of Ohio has to great degree furnished the
money to the American party of Ohio, for
the purpose Of making the State canvass,
and have understood that the same has been
denied. l therefore make the following
statement, to wit: | received from Douglas
g. 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 tho
State Of Ohio. These funds were contribut-
ed by the Democratic party. | have raised
funds from Charles Rule and j. j. Farran,
and paid the sum to Norton and the Secreta-
ry Of the State Committee of Ohio, and /
KNOW THAT THE FILLMORE MEN
VIII ARE STUMPING THE STATE
ARE PAID BY THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.
I also state that J. J. Farran paid to E. P.
Norton 800 on the 23d of September 49,
Sc. I also state that James B. Guthrie,

sums from other parties.
To all this I am willing to swear
M A. BOILING.
Upon this erpose t is not necessary to make
a single comment, as it explains itself A
bout the first of August, Mr.. Boiling was in
correspondence with W. Griswold, from whom
we received the following letter. This is by
mistake addressed to J. M. instead Of NJ. A .
Boiling. but we print it precisely "a it was
written. The italics are ours with exception
Of the word aid used by the writer with ref
erence to the Congressional nominees. The
original of this letter may be seen at Gin

letter came duly to hand. hasten to ans.
wer, as it is impossible for me to 60 to the
city for some time yet. have nearly TWEEN
ty Democratic meeting to attend during the
next week. The Democracy in this part Of
the State are arousing up beyond all prece-
dent. They are getting alarmed at the Alb
clifton sentiments and disunion doctrines o.
the Fremonters. Think you would get aic
from the Congressional nominees IN seuera
districts. Yon ought to see Burt McLai,
and Cooper and ask them for ossistance--
show them your figures and labors and neces
ities. Would not Emmett of Waverly ait
you; he has bet high on Fillmore, and is do
ing all he can in that liue. There Is grea
fear yet among the Democrats that the Fill
more men and the Fremonters will unite oil
County Congressional and State tickets. IL
our county the Fremonters have nominated
part of the Fillmore icket and part new
men. If you can only get your ticket int
the field, that is if you can got Independen
Congressional nominations and Fllmor
State ticket made of men who will stand
and that Is what many Of them want yol
will be able to get far more. have talkcc
with number of Democrats who would b
already if they could see cornered fight
would get all your nominations made o
soon as you can; that.wiIl give you q grea
impulse---a great many old Wings want
full ticket, and that would encourage tn
Democracy TO greater effort The Dcmoc
racy are going to fight noble battle in Ohio
