One of the prominent aud most able
speakers at the late Republican State Con-
vention was Hon. II. B. Warden, of Ham
ilton, late Democratic reporter of the Su-
preme Court, and until very recently a
member of that party. He cannot stand
the endorsement of the Dred Scott decis-
ION by the State Convention aud its Gu
bernatorial nominee, and the entire change
of front by the party on the question OF
the right of Congress to prohibit slavery in
the territories, and consequently forsakes
it.

were let, by which the people we're swim
died out of an immense sum. The evi-
dence shows that he endeavored to have
the lettings honestly made; but failing, ac-
quiesced in the fraud, without participa-
ting in the benefits. We believe his g eat
fault is attributed to an ''amiable weak
ness" which shrinks at the performance
of an unpleasant duty; and we confess we
have no love for such character. But
A. L. Backus was in the employ of the
State, at regular salary. He put in a bid
for contract, as he had no right to do,
and then received bribe of 81 900 from
n higher bidder to withdraw his bid; by
which withdrawal the State lost about
$4,000. This is what we call positively
dishonest, and notwithstanding the con-
tempt we feel for "Aunt Betsy Dickens
derfer. we think he is the least,eyl of the
two.

PERsoNAL.-It will be seen by reference
to the proceedings of the Convention, that
a resolution was adopted endorsing our
course in the Legislature. Another reso-
luton was offered endorsing our action in
the recent State Convention, which was
Withdrawn at our request, being objected
to by one or two. We feel confident if the
latter had been pressed to vote, after ar
gument, it would have been carried six to
one. We stated in convention, and we
here repeat, that we need no such compli-
mentary resolutions--we do not value them
very highly, Notwithstanding they were
prompted by the kindest feeling, and no
doubt embody the honest sentiments of the
Convention. And why? Because we
are no Office seeker, in want of recon-
mendation. We never sought or desired
Office in our life--would not log-roll, pipe
lay, electioneer, pander to popular prejudi-
ces rpassions, Or do any other mean thing
for the best Offices in the gift of the peo-
pie. When public station is thrust upon
us, we never shrink from the performance
of any duty for fear Of consequences. We
never sacrifice right or duty for popularity
or friendship. Our acts are upon record,
and we point to that record with pride, as
by Mot, and not by any resolutions of con.
ventions, we desire to be judged.

IHE COEVENTION-1HE NOMINEES. -
The proceedings of the Republican County
Nominating Convention may be found in
another column. The ticket is at our
masthead.
The Convention was large, respectable
and enthusiastic, and was conducted with
great harmony and good feeling. The can
didates announced for Representative were
Rev. Z. A. Welch, of Scipio; Dr.. Tiffany,
of Orange; and T. a. Plants, of Pomeroy.
Our own name was mentioned, without
authority, and Withdrawn by us immedi-
ately. Mr.. Plants was nominated on the
first ballot. Mr.. Plants was our first
choice, and, we believe, the first choice of
the people He did not wish or seek the
nomination.; but was pressed into the SER
vice, and finally yielded rather reluctantly.
To those who know the man. tile mere an
nouncement of his name is sufficient. To
those who do not, permit us to say that he
is host in himself. There are few, if
any, better political speakers in Ohio. He
is thoroughly acquainted with the politics
of the country, state and national; and will
be heard and felt in the canvass, and in the
balls of legislation. In 7. A. Plants,
Meigs county sends her best man to the
legislature-one who will honor the coun-
ty more than the county will honor him.
The candidates for Probate Judge Sher-
iff and Recorder were nominated by accla-
nation. They have all served the county
acceptably in the offices for which they are
again nominated, and are well and favora-
bly, known to the voters.
For Prosecuting Attorney, the present
iacumbent had two mpetitors-Messrs.
Bnrnap and Montague-but was nomina-
ted Oh the first ballot by handsome ma
jority.
For Clerk, Mr.. Downing had two COM
pctitors-Messrs. McQuigg and Bosworlh
but he was also nominated on the first
ballot.
For Commissioner, the contest was more
spirited. There were six ballotings, when
Mr.. Ellis succeeded over Thomas Smith,
our present worthy Commissioner.
Mr.. Stout was chosen for Director Of
Infrmary without much opposition.
Altogether, we are pleased with the tick
ct. The candidates are all tried and true
men, and we hope and believe they will
be triumphanly elected.
The campaign will be short Let it be
active 1t is time to prepare for the fight.
Let the Central Committee get together at
as early day as practicable, and make all
needful regulations for a vigorous cam
paign, and let Meigs county give the De-
mocracy the best they have in the shop
this fall.

DEMOCRATIC GRAND MASS MEETING
A grand demonstration was made by the
Democracy on Thursday last. H. B.
Payne, and w. H. Lytle, their candidates
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor
were prese mt, and addressed an immense
gathering, consisting of about sixty Demo
Gratis and forty Republicans. After a
search of a quarter of An hour, we found
the place, and listened to Mr.. Payne for
an hour or so. He is decidedly "weak
sister," We believe we could make a more
plausible excuse for the great crimes of
Democracy ourself. To those who reflect
carefully, he only made the matter worse,
by his Acknowledgements. But we do not
propose to notice him any farther. He is
decidedly small pattern.

Henry B. Payne, the douglas Ne
braska Dred Scott pro-Savery candidate
for Governor in Ohio, was member of
the Ohio Senate from the county of Guy
ahoga in the year 1851. This was after
the passage of the famous, or, rather, in
famous Fugitive Slave Act by Congress.
There was a strong feeling, especially in
the Northern portion of the State, against
it, and that feeling found expression by
way of resolutions in the Legislature.
After the utter prostration of Mr.. Payne
to the behest of the slave power, and the
strong pro-slavery sentiments he uttered
at the State Convention of the party which
nomina ed him on the 9th inst, it may
surprise some people who do not know
the character of the man, to learn that in
1851 Mr.. Payne pretended to sympathise
with his constituents in their disgust and
detestation of the domineering and tyran-
nical cause of the slave breeders and slave
drivers of the South. AS their Senator
he both acted and vOted against the Fugi-
tige Slave Law.
We have before us the official journal of
the Senate of the State of Ohio for the year
i850-'5l, and we propose to lay before
our readers and the people of the State. the
votes of this man then, that they may con-

but one of the thousand instances within
the last six years of treason to freedom
and free labor by the demagogues who in
suit our common sense by calling them
selves Democrats. But it is worthy a
careful perusal and is pregnant with suS-
gestons. Let US appeal to the record.

| The NoBLEsT AMBGrIoN,-It has been
! well renal ked by an American poet, s.that
mo gift, however beautiful, no success,
however brilliant, should be placed above
the talents which can relieve single pang,
and the self-devotion which lays them at
the feet of the humblest fellow creature" !"
Judged by this rule, Professor Holloway,
of whom the world has heard so much
during the last twenty years, occupies a
high position. His life seems to have been
devoted to the al.eviation of suffering, and
his desire to benefit his fellow creatures
appears to have been seconded by an
amount of natural talent and acquired
skill, seldom combined in one individual.
| The practical result of this combination
has been the production Of two remedies,
known throughout the world as Holloway's
Pills and Holloway's Ointment, which, if
any value can be attached to human testi-
mony, lave left all devices of science far
behind in the great work Of relieving pain,
strengthening the constitution and prolong-
ing life.
In bilious disorders especially, the Pills
have been wonderfully efiicacious, and for
that reason they are most important med
icine in the country, where bilious fever,
and all the varieties of liver complaint are
unfortunately so common. We learn from
persons subject to bilious attacks in the
Spring and Fall, who have resorted to these
Pills as preventive, that they have never
failed to save them from such periodical
affections; while we have also the strong
est possible testimony in their favor from
individuals who have taken them in the
worst stages of liver disease. Long be.
fore we had had an opportunity to Judge of
their value from home testimony, the med
ical journals and the daily press of Eu-
rope had referred to them in terms of praise.
Itg gives us pleasure to say that our own
experience confirms and verifes the state
ments derived from foreign sources. Not
being conversant with tbs philosophy of
medical science, we cannot enter into IL
learned exposition of the neodus opernmdi
of Holloway's Pills in bilious cases, but
shall rest content with saying, that under
the influence of the remedy the skin and
the whites of the eyes soon loose their yell
low tinge, the pain in the right side dsap-
pears, the appetite returns, the digestion
improves, and the physical strength of the
invalid is re! tovef, Professor Holloway,
who has made physiology and pathology
his study for quarter of a century, has
given scientific why's and wherefores for
their curative effects; we simply state that
they fulfil the promises of the inventor, a
fact that has never been questioned, we be-
lieve, by those who have given them fair
trial. ". Y. Vat. I'oi Gazette.
