ReuubIic,u Vote. 5 Of the Reserve

In two weeks the State contest in Ohio is to
be decided. Are you ready for it Have you
reused yourself and reused your neighsOrs to
the importance of full vote to ensure the de-
sired vic,oryi If not, make yourself a minute
MN till the polls are closed on the 18th OF Oc-
tober 1t is the vote of the Reserve which saves
the State. Should the Reserve maiOrties fall
off from lukewarmness and neglect of duty,
your excellent State ticket may be lost, and
Lecompton Buchanism will riot rampant IN fair
Ohio. The Opposition in Southern, in Cen
tral, along the Backbone, ard in Northwest
Ohio, are united, have their watch-fres lighted,
their sentinets posted and are preparing with
zeal for triumph worth recording. Meetings
are being held in the Counties and Townships,
popular speakers are on the stump, the people
come out to hear in masses, and the working
officers and men of the party are Perfeeting or
CARNATIONS, and taking the necessary steps to
secure full vote and right vote.
The Slave Democracy are in the field alert as
usual, and are moving every possible agency to
elect their State, Congressional, and County
tickets. On the Reserve they make no noise,
but are working in secret none the less efficient
". They intend to catch the Republicans nap
ping, and have laid their plans accordingly. See
to it then in every County, in every Township,
in every School District, that every Opposition
voters eye is open, and his heart and hands
ready to work and win. The time is short, Tut
much may be done by personal and associated ef-
forts. Wherever it is practicable, and in most
cases it is, revive, perfect, and warm up old
party organizations. At all events, make ar
rangements to know the name and politics of
every voter in your beat, and to bring every
Opposition voter to the polls. Watch the lists on
election day, and if any absent themselves from
laziness or Indifference, 60 for them with teams
and sce that the sun does not go down upon a
single stay-at- home. Provide conveyances for
the aged and the feeble, and see that they have
an opportunity to deposit their ballots without
annoyance. Be at the polls early, see that they
are properly and fairly organized and conducted,
and Just off coat and work while the day lasts,
remembering that the great vote of Ohio is made
up Of single ballots.
AS encouragement to work, Just notice how
that Old Wagon Boy, TOH CORwIN, cracks his
whip in Central and Southern Ohio. On the
llth he spoke at Byron to an attentive audi
ence IF 5000, sort of basket hrrvest home
combined with political meeting. On the
l4th the Governor addressed 2 500 at Circle
vile; on the l5th, 1000 at ZlnesviIle on the
10th. 1000 at Newark; and on the 18th, 5000
at Mount Vernon. He also has addressed large
meetings at Xenia, London, Morrow, Ports
mouth, Piqua, Sidney, Greenville, Lancaster,
&c, and his appointments for the present week
are at Dayton, Monroe, Germantown, Lima
etc. Last week he was sick, and only spoke
at Xenia. Everywhere Gov. CoRwIN has been
received with enthusiasm, and has been heard
with deep attention. He is reused to the i'm
portance of the contest, and at Xenia after
speaking of the Dred Scott Decision as interpre-
ted by Mr.. Buchanan 10 mean that '' Kanzas |
was as much Slave State as Georgia" said
s'If that decision is to be carried out, and the
Territories are thus TO be inOeulated with Sla- |
very, and under this unfair influence, State Is |
formed with a slave Constitution, and comes be- /
fore me for admission, l will never vote for IT, 4
NEvER! NEVER! NEVER You may roast
me alive. haven't much fat but it shall be all |
tryed off before | will vote to admit Slave
State under such circumstances"
At the conclusion of the address an old
man in the audience who had voted for Biz
ney in 1874, rose and said
" Mr.. Corwin, if you were up for President
instead of member of Congress, | would vote
for you'' The Governor did not hear him, and
asked him to repeat his remark He according
ly did so
May the Lord help you " was the reply,
d" though must say, you might 60 farther and
fare worse"
Gov. CHASE has just been making a tour
through the Northwest, and addressing large
audiences with fine effect.
