OF In Gallia county, it is said there is
not single Fremont man to be fOupd.-
The county is divided between BUcHAHAE
and FILLMORE. The old-line Constitution
loving Wings are abandoning the sectional
party every where. 1t is believed that in
the Southern and middle counties Of the
State, Fillmore Will poll more votes than
Fremont.
GT C. c. CARROLL and DANIEL PECK,
Old.line Wings in Belmont county have ia.
ken the stump for BUCHANAN. They are
both able men. DANIEL PECK is well known
as one of the most influential members of
the bar in eastern Ohio. He was a member
of the Convention which framed the pres
ent Constitution of the State.
SEKA1oR PUGH ON THE SrUMP.-SenatOr
PUGH, the young and eloquent Democratic
U. S. Senator from Ohio, will soon be
heard on the stump for BUCHANAN AND
BREpKIERIDGE, THE CONSTITUTION AND THE
UNION. He is to speak at Columbus, New
ark, Urbana, Belfountaine, Marion, Upper
Sandusky, Findly, Fremont, Sandusky
City, Port Clinton, Norwalk, Mt. Vernon,
Coshocton, New Philadelphia, Zanesville,
Tiffin an Mansfield. He will do noble SER
vice.
JUDGE METcALF RE-NoMINATED.--Oneo of
the largest Democratic meetings ever held
IN North Ohio, came off at Bel
fontaine few days since. Speeches were
made by Judge THURMAN, DURBTN WARD
and others. The greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed. BENZ. METcALF was unanimously
re- nominated for theoffice of Judge OF the
Court of CommonPleas in that judicial Dis
trct. Good.
eF Never since we have known any
thing in regard to the political affairs OF the
country, have the signs been SO cheering for
Democratic victory as now. The efforts o'
our oppments to sustain and build up Nor
thern sectional party, are sure to fail. They
began the abolition and Kansas excitement
too early. Their material for agitation is
exhausted. Their money is much of it ex
pended. Neither bribery nor falsehood car
accomplish their work. Deep in the heart;
of the people, is sacred love for the Union
and their will, silently expressed through
the ballot box, will give stern rebuke tc
those demagogues who now seek to embroi
the nation in the terrible consequences of {
civil war.
BULLY Brooks AND BULLY FREMONT
JOHN c. FREMONT, in 1850, while member
of the U. S. Senate, brutally assaulted Sen
ator FooTE of Mississippi, in the Senate
chamber for words spoken in debate. We
cannot in any manner justify Brooks for hi
assault upon Sumner; neither can we justi
fy Fremont for his assault upon Foote VIII
was weak and feeble man. The rule tina
condemns one, condemns the other. II
those Republicans who denounce the De
moe racy because OF the outrage committe
' by Brooks, we say, look at home-look Q
your oWn candidate. We have never nom
: mated bully to the Office of the Presider
:, cy, but you hace done it, and thereby approx
ed an act which you, yourselves acknowledg
:, to be an unjustifable outrage.
O- The Democratic State Conve nton
:, Michigan, met at Detroit, August 9Th, an
no mi mated Ex Senator PHELPS for Govel
. nor. A Presidential Electoral ticket wa
a selected Among the resolutions adopte
o was one condemning the Maine Law. Th
E Michigan Democracy will give good az
count of themselves in November.
r 0CF The gallant Democracy of Pennsy
!, vania, met at Chambersburgh on the 9th {
August, to nominate candidate for Survey
or General of the State. JOHN Rowe u
Franklin County was chosen. He is an e1
!, cellent man for the place. The Conven
ton was largely attended. The Delegate
, from the several Districts gave a hearty a
= surance, that the old Keysone was all rigl
o on the Presidential question.
