"And We here say, if there is one party
more than another to whom the appel
lation "nigger driving advocates ;" is
applicable, it is that of the Sham Demo
cracy of the North. In proof of this,
the general reader is referred to the OPP
position papers of the day, from the
to the Eaton Democrat, and he will look
in vain for a single article devoted to
the advocacy of anti-slavery sentiments
or in favor of staying the monster
evil which seeks to overpowcr and sup
plant Freedom. But, on the other
hand, he will see that the Shamocratic
papers aforesaid, are continuously giving
proof-specimens that they arc the spe-
cial apologists for Slavery-that they
are not unfrequently found giving it
aid and comfort, and ncrcr found de-
~nouncing it."
"a This is what the Register man
says in regard to the Democratic party
and its advocacy of slavery. The Re
gister is published in the North. Now
read the following which we clip from a
paper published in the South, Oxen
tucky,) and see what it says about the
Democratic party and its slavery pro
clivitics;
"The Democracy have elected many
Presidents they have had the govern
ment a long time, and have built up a
great country but have they ever done
anything for slavery? When did they
bring into the Union a slave State d?
Since the slavery question has been
agitated, the Democracy have never
been known to assist in the admission
of a slave State, unless the assistance
came from the South. James Buchanan
said, when Texas was admitted, that he
" felt a strong repugnancc, any act of
mine, to extend the limits of the Union
over a new slaveholding territory" 1t
cannot be expected, and is not expected
by sensible men, that the Democracy, if
they succeed in the election of james
Buchanan, as they did, would assist in
making a solitary new slave State, and
this was told to the Democracy of this
State, but they needed it not"
Now, which should be believed, the
Register man Or the Kentucky man ?
The fact of the whole matter is, that
this shrieking about slavery is the
greatest humbug and cheat that has
ever been imposed upon the people.
Just sec-in the North the Democratic
party is denounced as the advocate of
slavery-in the South as the opposers
of it We ask no better evidence of
the soundness and wisdom of the policy
of a party that has arrayed against it the
f~actious and m~alcontents of both sec
tons of the country, and feel pretty
confident that the people of Ohio, will
this fall, administer a scathing rebuke
to Chase and his disunion faction, which
will forever settle this " Niger agita-
ton" 1t has became disgusting-a
stencil in tho n~ostrils of the people,
and should be wiped out.

The skies

We have never known the political
sky in Ohio, more bright and cheering
for the Democratic party than it is at
the present time. Every thing beto-
kens a glorious and triumphant victory
in October next. Know Nothingism
has had it's day, and is now numbered
among the things that were; and many
who were beguilcd from the right path,
for a season, by its a~llurements, have
returned to the Democratic fold from
whence they strayed, and are now more
firmly fixed than ever in the faith of
their fathers. Abolitionism, which de-
ceived and humbuged the people into
its support two years ago, by the cry of
retrenchment and reform, is fast tumb-
ling to pieces under the weight of fraud
and Pecmlatiom it practised during its
short reign, and will soon descend
ITO the vile dust from whence 1t sprung,
Unhonored, unwept, and unsung."
Our nominees, are each and all favo-
rites with the people. They are gen
tlemen of acknowledged talents and of
.undoubted integrity, who have long
since been tested in the crucible of pop
ular opinion, and whose virtues and
abilities will become the more conspic-
uou in proportion as their characters
for personal and political honesty are
scrutinized and examined by the people
and the press. Their election to the
offices for which they have been nomi-
mated is already a foregone conclusion
with the thinking and rejecting men of
all parties, and the prospect now is that
the enemy will scarcely be able to make
a tolerable show of resistance in any
section of the State except the "infected
region" of Cheesedom, where a darkey
is considered better than a white man,
and where it is always expected that
Abolitionism will manage to keep a sort
of a foot-hold among the masses. But
even there, our information is that light
is beginning to dawn in upon the peo-
pie, and not a few are growing weary of
following IN the footsteps OF that Arch
Abolitionist and speculating demagogue,
Salmon P. Chase, who has been leading
them in the high road to destruction
and disgrace. They begin to reflect
that they are a constituent part of a ma
ton of qchitc men, and that their inter
ests are quite as dear to them and their
children as are the fancicd rights of the
negro race. So thinking and so con-
sidering, we have no doubt, from what
we lave heard from that section of the
State, that many will come out from the
NEGRO EQUALITY, TREASURY
EATING party, and like Independent
and honest citizens, array themselves on
the side of the Democracy.

iowa Election.

Tho Grand C@dar Gowa) Rapids of
the 18th, in noticing the election, says
that the new constitution has been
adopted by not more than one thousand
majority, About four-ffths of the
counties already heard from have elected
Democratic officers. This is, perhaps,
the truest indication of the sentiment
of the people upon those questions
which, on all hands, arc admitted to be
strictly political. There is no doubt
but that at this day the State is largely
Democratic, and should it prove that
the new constitution is adopted, it is
absolutely certain that the guberna-
torial chair will be filled next term by a
Democrat.
Ohio will follow suit in October, by
electing Payne and the Democratic
ticket.

What They Say of US Abroad.

All eyes are upon Ohio. The De-
mocracy of the Nation are peculiarly
anxious about this State. It is a pity
say they, that 10000 good and true
Democrats should be lost in a National
canvass by the little miserable fusion
majority that has twice abolitionized
this State. 1t is conceded that Ohio
has the best material for a fighting
democracy of any State in the Union,
says the Ptaindeabr, but %supposing we
were in a hopeless minority, no efforts
were made by the Democracy abroad
at the last Presidential election to carry
the State, as was the case in P~cnnsylva-
mia, Indiana, and Illinois. All were
astonished though, at the result of last
year. Only some 10000 Black Repub-
lican plurality against us in a vote of
near 100000, when Sumner, Greedy,
Beecher, and Bleeding Kansas were all
bowling in full chorus against us. Gov.
Willard proposes to take the job of car
rying this State ON contract, this fall, if
we would only give him a straight out

Platform to do it on.
The indianapolis State Stntincl says !:
The Democracy of Ohio have nomin-
atcd an excellent ticket, men of char
acter, whose ,political soundncss is be-
yond question; and have adopted a
platform which fairly and squarely
meets the political issues of the day
upon high Democratic grounds. We
believe all that is necessary for the
buckeye Democracy to meet with sue
cess, is to have their principles fairly
and fully presented to the people. The
people of the State feel now most SEN
sibly the effects Of Republican misrulc
and the imbeeility OF that party for the
successful performance of governmental
functions. The State needs not only
regeneration from its political hercsies,
but from the embarrassments brought
upon it in every department of its
government by Republican ~asccndency
determination and a thorough canvass,
We have every confidence that the Demo
cratic banners will again float over this
once Democratic State.
The Pittsbufg Post says:
HENRY B. PAYNE.-The Democratic
State Convention of Ohio have made a
most excellent nomination for Governor
in the person of this gentleman. The
selections is fully and entirely in accord
ance with the popular sentiment of the
Democracy of Ohio, as manifested il
meetings held previous to the Con,en-
ton.

in Texas, over Sam. Houston, by nine
thousand majority at least. The rest
Of the Democratic State ticket is elected
by still larger majority. Both branches
of the Legislature will be more strongly
Democratic than ever before. There
will not be more than fifteen or twenty
Houston men in that body, and of
course, the champion of Northcrnism
in Texas, will not be returned to the

Democratic candidates for Congress are
elected by very large majoritics.
