Plot to Assassinate the French
En- peror.

The Moniteur of Tuesday, the 2lst, con-
tains the following: For more than month
the police has had proof that plot had been
formed in London TO make DIN attempt on
the life of the Emperor. Three Italians
charged with the execution Of this horrible
project, were at Paris and arrested. The
arms also which were to have been used for
the perpertratioR of the crime have been
seized; they consist of pionards, revolyers
&c. BrougLt to justice, the prisoners hat
already confessed their crime and revealed
the names Of their accomplices.
The government, notwithstanding, sus-
pended the proceedings against them, in
order that. the eclat o. the process might
not be regarded as the means OF influencing
the result of the elections which were about
to take place. The proceedings are now re.
sumed, and an ordnance of the Judge of In
slruction has sent before the Chamber OF
Accusation all the prisoners arrested, with
their accomplices. Their names are Tibaldl
Rartolotti Grill, otherwise Saru9 Mazzini,
Ledru Rollin, Marzarenti and Campanella.
The Paris correspondent of the Times, in
letter dated Wednesday, the 2and, says
The paragraph published in the Moniteu-
was transmitted to you this morning bv
telegraph. Its publication in the officia
organ of the government has produced a
certain sensation here ! hardly know WHY
it should France does not now for the
first time hear of plots for the assassination
of her rulers, and their defeat. Advantage
will probably be taken of this circpmstsnce
for an application to the British govern
ment, ,as the ally of France,to aid in render
ing the political assassin powerless. That
application will be made after the convic-
tion of the parties, and it is thought proba-
Bile that government will ask the necessary
powers from Parliament.

claration of Indepenoe; but condemn as a
gross perversion of that doctrine the modern
pretension that one portion Of q community
may rightfnlly enslave another.
10. We hold to the old fashioned notion
of our Fathers. .sfair days wages for fair
days work. and repudiate with scorn the
sentiment that slavery is the natural and
normal condition of the laboring man. and
will resist as anti-Republican and unjust
every attempt, by whsmsoever made, to de-
grade the free labor of freemen here and
elsewhere, and proclaim it as one of the
leading objects of the Republican party in
seeking to prevent the further spread of
slavery, to secure to the free white labor Of
the country its just reward and its full So
cial and political rights.
IL. We condemn without qualification
the embezzlement of the public moneys re-
Gently discovered, and we demand the prompt
and rigorous enforcement of the laws in the
punishment of every person implicated in
the same.
We are in favor of the free grant of the
public lands by the General Government in
limited quantities to actual settlers.
l3. We approve the acts os the last Gen.
eral Assembly providing for the better Sc
curi.y of the State Treasury; reetifying
abuses; reducing State taxation and expen'
ditures, and limiting the amount of loca
taxation by county and municipal authori
ties;and we demand such further Legislation
as will most surely and unusually protec
the money of the people from embezzlemen
and m:sapplication, and most perfectly Sc
cure economy ard efficiency in every depart
ment in the State administration.
IA. The administration of Salmon P
Chase as the Chief Executive of the Stat,
\ 6 government, has been honest, able and dig
ni6ed, commanGingsthe admiration and con
6dence of our own people, and the respec
of the people of our sister States.
The following note was read by tn
Chairman:
To the Republican State Conusntion:
The Republican young men of FRANKLIN
County have honored the complete ticke
with 81.
In harmony complete,

The Conyention-Candidates--
Campaign. &c.

The Republican Convention was without
doubt, The most harmonious and euthusias
gathering on our record. A remarkable
unanimity Of feeling and sentiment peryad-
cd the whole assembly. No jsrring words
no designing factions, no disputed claims or
disappointed Office seekers marred in the
least, the universal harmony and good feel
ing that Characterized the whole convention.
The ticket put in nomination is eminentlv
woriby the Conscience and patronage of
Ohio worthy the convention that noHi-
nation it, and well worthy the object of its
nom instion. We place it at the head Of Our
paper with mingled feelings of pleasure and
pride. To eulogise Gov. CHASE, or 10 spei.k
of his fitness for the Office, his ability, his
integrity, or his far seeing craftsmanship
would be simply absurd, for he is known =
His actions are before the people. They
know loo well his many yisiues, 10 require
any recommendation at our hand. In fitness
for the office for which he is nominated, he
stands Pre-emnently above any man the o.
position can bring into the field. There is
no question OF this, Yet with all this to
recomend himi the opposition will spare no
Paines to defeat him in the coming election
What say the people to this VIII they
permit it! Verify no. In the coming cam
Paign momentous questions are before the
people. 1t is a time for action, vigorous
meaning action. A time when to be silent
is criminal. The Democracy must be beaten.
The strong arm of justice and liberty must
De maintained. The SIaveocratic power
must be rebucked. The great principles Of
Republicanism must be sustained and carr,ed
on to triumphant victory. Yes ,Ue repeai
Al, has MUST Ell DONE. S.P. CHasF
more than any other man is able to carry
our stand ard, proudly, triumphantly to the
goal if final and complete success. Then
let the people act, organize ell over tb,
length and breath of the State. The cam
~paign is short one, the opposition are in
dnstrIous leaving no stone unturned to &C
complish their nefarious designs, and al
though success is ours if we but do ON
Duty yet we have nothing to spare, Bel
mont county, particularly must be canvessed
the people informed, and above all thing
CEASE must be elected.

VThe Editor of the Gazeite saws. we do
not seem please at his meddIing with our
affairs. Now we just take this opportunity
to say, that We uere rather pleased than OH
frwise with his meGdlesome twaidle. 1t
does US so little harm, and seems to do him
SO much good, that We are willing to grant
him free license; it is SO amusing. He
says we, with considerable assurance saw:

has not the man:iness to give our reason
for the same.

sacrifices nothing. Here we ,,under.tand
that the Editor does not have correct nm.
serstdnding of the matter, yet if we did at.
tempt such feat, we would be as likely to
succeed as was the Editor in a similar mat
ter, where he offered to swallow all this
and tolersbly large specimen of morality
into the bargain. This the captain did do
and the Democracy ,viA see vhere their part,
leaders intend carrying them.
He next quotes the doctrine that "the
negro is human-he has soul-he has an
intellect, &c." and tries to scare the
Americans off the track. Verify, for tn,
sake of the Captains success, it is a pit,
he does not possess the magic power, he Il
pleased to attribute to US. If the Ameri
cans were as unnaturaly heathenish in the
ideas OF the rights of man; and had an,
confidence whatever in the Editor, then h,
might influence them, but he need not pu
himself to any uouble,as there is but bar
possibility of them, that much resdin,
what he says. Indeed We question whethe
he might not make more converts to Dem
ocrscy, by advocating Americanism, an
thereby making it unpopular.

expected, the Captain is not likely to NEE
