The Register man seems to be
wonderfully tttstartled" at some tfacts'
in relation to the extravaganza of the
present administration, and lies mosteg-
reegiousIy when he says that Hthe facts
set forth The administration organ has
not dared to eeRtradict.' There is moi
sword of truth in the whole article of
the Register. Both the Washington
Uaion, and National Mteltigencer, have
exposedthe atrocious misrepresentation
inlregard to the expenses Of, Mr.: Blu
chanan's administration, and that effect
Gally,, too, but this ignoramus of the
Register, is SO wrapped up in the infa-
nous cause. of Black Republieanism,
hat he is blind to everything but a
geoveling disposition to concoct false
hoods, which. he hopes viii justify him
in his disgraceful and .discreditable
course. IF this individual who ac-
knoWledges himself cropping in igno-
raEee and darkness, will procure a
Washington Unioa, of the 10Th of June,
he will there find the "facts" which have
startled him at this late a day, no facts
at all, but barefaced and unblushing
falsehoods, OF the most infamous char
acter, gotten up for the purpose of sup
porting the crumbling structures of
Black Reppbiieapism; He will there
find figures to show and Items to prove,
that tho expenses of the administration
of Mr.. Buchanan for the year ending
June '30th, 1859, amount to the sum of
SOS, 600, 900, instead of $92, OOO, 900, as
the article the Register selected endeay-
ors to prove. But will he turn to this
statemcutIand correct his fdsehood?-
N6.iHH He has not got the magnanimity
to do the will allow his readers to re
main in ignorance ofthe facts, as he has
himself,s and still insist upon them
what, he could know, is false. We have
laid the article in the Register by, how
ever, and intend as soon as time will
permit, to expose its utter fallacy, and
also, between now and the election, to
show TO the taxpayers Of Preble coun-
ty, some of the beautiful results OF
Black Republican extravaganza, nearer

Observation-Disclosures County.

The Butler county Democratic Con.
vention held at Hamilton, July 9th
unanimously passed the resolutions We
publish below. Mr.. Vallandigham by
his energy, his splendid ability, and his
honorable and manly qualities, has won
for himselfa place in-the estimation Of
the Democracy of Montgomery, Butler
and Preble, of which he may we'll be
proud. A standard bearer, placed before
the people by the common wish and con-
sent of his party, he can go cheerfully
as he viii go CALAMITY and efficiently
into the pending campaign. +
The resolutions are as follows:
"ResClved, That the COURSE pursued
by the Hon. C. L. Vallandigham in so
ably and successfully contesting the
right of L. d. Campbell to a seat in the
35th Congress, held by virtue of negro
votes, meets the appreciation of the De-
mocracy of Old Butler; and the victory
he obtained over his competitor was but
the triumph of right over wrong, of the
white voters of the Third Congressional
District wei the negro and negro wor-
shippers.
5"Resolved, That we the democrats of
Butler county, suggest and hereby do
recommend to our brethren of the coun-
the
propriety ofdeclaring Mr.. Vallandigham
the candidate of the Democratic party
for Congress in the Third Congressional
District of Ohio, without the formality
of a, convention" s5u

nA We find scarcely a line in the
Kansas papers against the Lecompton
Constitution on accoun Gifts pro-slavery
character. The great objection to its
acceptance is, that the people are too
poor to assume the ~pccuniary burdens
of a State government. The only gen.
tlemen who discuss the political bear
ings of the proposition for admission, are
Mr.. Smith, who was elected Governor
by the Free State men, under the Lee
compton instrument, and Ex-Secretary
Stanton, who seems to have made Kan
sas his permanent home. Says the
Western Argus" while Gov. Smith,
of Lawrence, an ultra free State man
from Massachusetts and an ardent sup
porter of the Topeka constitution, leads
off in favor of the English ordinance,
both on the stump and through the
press, Gov. Stanton, a pro-slavery Dem
oerat from Tennessee, who declares him
self unalterably devoted to the %institu-
ton of slavery, has taken the stump
most vigorously against the ordiance!'
We presume there is no doubt, in the
Territory or out of it, that the English
ordnance" will be defeated. Will the
Free State party then have the face to
revive the effort to get into the Union,
without any regard to the number of
inhabitants? Time will answer this
question.

This is the first intimation we have ever

the two. But Lewis is proverbial for

of the former suited their %groveling dis

nez- judge Peck. the Republic.

: pI" Judge Peck, the Republican
nominee for the Supreme Court, is q
highly respectable man of acknowledged
judicial abilities. But when it is con-
sidered, says the Ohio Eagle. that he
withheld his support from Mariposa
Fremont, of humble bee notoriety, in
the last Presidential contest, it may be
asked how he came to receive the nom
nation for Supreme Judge at the hands
of the Republicans. 1t was a precon-
certed programme of the Republicans
cut and dried before the meeting of the
Convention, that they should maintain
all their deliberately taken Positions
stamp their heels upon and rule out
everything Americanish that might be
attempted to be engrafted in the pro-
ceedings, and then appease the wrat
of the r"people's party by a single
crumb in the shape of the candidate for
the Supreme bench. It remains to be
seen whether they will be thus wheedled
into the support of Abolitionism.

nGa On our return homo from the
State Convention, we tarried a short
time in Dayton, and felt around a little
as to the Congressional contest. We
found that the largest and most respect
able portion of the Republicans of
Montgomery are in favor of the Butler
Pony ''entering as a priratc" in their
ranks this fall. They intend sending
up to the Convention at New Paris, a
strong delegation in favor ola new man.
With the opposition from Montgomery,
and the determination of a large portion
of the Republicans in this county to
have a candidate Of their own, a good
time may be anticipated. ~

The state Convention.

State Convention, which convened a
Columbus on the Goth ult.,A will b
found in our paper this week, and tn
result ofthem cannot help but meet tn,
appreciation of the entire Democrat,
party ofOhio. The Convention was u,
largest, and its proceedings the mos
harmonious and satisfactory, of any
that has met in the State for years.
The Black Republicans predicted a di
vision in u organization, and a quar-
rel and a split upon the formation of :
platform, which should define its posi-.
ton upon the Kansas question; but al.
though every county in the State Vas
represented, and every phase of demo
cratic sentiment in regard to the excl
ting questions which have threatened
the peace and harmony of the party, we
are happy to state that their fonGes'
hopes have been sadly blighted. The
resolutions were unanim ously and en-
Enthusiastically accepted, and now, "uni-
ted in sentiment and invineible in argu-
ment, we may take the field and defy all
corners to strike the shield upon which
the great popular dogma of this century
Is thns-glvrtousfy embtazoned.
The ticket nominated is an excellent
one and gives entire satisfaction, and
will receive the support, to a man, ofthe
Democracy of Ohio. The first upon it
is Judge hartley, who was nominated
by reclamation. His ability as a jurist
has ncver been doubted by even the OPP
position, while his irmness, courage,
energy and integrity, has won for him
a place in the hearts of the people, that
few of his age enjoy, and the able man
ner in which he has discharged his duty
upon the Bench, will insure his r~e-elec-
ton by an overwhelming majority.
DURBIN WARD is a lawyer of excel
lent learning and wide experience, and
an eloquent and able debater. His ex-
tensiye experience, business qualiica-
tons and stern integrity, admirably fit
him to discharge the duties of the office,
with the highest honors to the Demo-
cracy and to himself. No better seIec-
ton could have been made.
SAMUEL w. gibson is the nominee
for the Office of Comptroller of the
Treasury. Mr.. Gibson was a member
of the General Assembly during the
last session, and is said by those who
are acquainted with him, to be a gentle
man of education, of irreproachable
character, and good legal attainments,
and every way fitted to discharge the
duties of Comptroller. .
Col. H. R. HENDRIcKsoN, the nominee
for Board of Public Works, is well
known throughout our county, and it is
almost unnecessary for us to'say any
thing in his favor. He is indeed, one
oftke people, man of good education
and business qualifications, and is every
way qualified for a faithful discharge of
the duties of the board of Public Works.
Such is the Democratic ticket, and
we ask for it the united, hearty, and
jealous support of every Democrat. 1t
is composed of honest and true men,
and We urge upon the whole party, a
tenacious adherence to its usages and
principles, and an undivided support of
the whole Democratic ticket. 1t is n
strong ticket, and can, and ciU be elect
ed from top to bottom. Let US give a
long pull, a strong pull, and a pull al
together, and we need have no fears of
the result.

A m Inv.

Among the numerous good acts Of
the late Democratic Legislature is the
law for the Semi-annual collection of
taxes. Under its wholesome provisions
the taxpayers need pay but n half of
their taxes in the fall and defer the bal
ance unit! June following. One halfo
the money which has heretofore been
paid in the fall and been lying in the
county treasury, or in many instances
used by bankers and. spectators, will
now remain IN The hands of the people for
sic,mtonths, where it properly belongs.
To heavy taxpayers this law will prove
of i%ncalculable benefit. The Republi-
can Legislature of winter before last
failed to pass this Statutory law. The
Democratic Legislature of last winter
done it! Bear this in mind.
