sohn sherman Caught at a Dirty
Trick The Black Republicans
reduced TO Desperation. fr f.a

BY the following, it will be perceived that
JoHS SHERMAN has no hope Of being re- elected,
unless be can secure the support Of what he
calls the DOUGLAS Democrats" There are SO
many Democrats Of this description in SHER-
MANS District that ifhe cen get their support,
he may dispense with the Republican nomina-
/ tion, of which he is now so doubtful that some
OF his old political friends are endeavoring to
force it, by thrcatning to run him as an ''inde,
pendent in case Of bis defeat in the convention
of that party. We can assure Mr.. SHERMAN
that he can expect no support from the "DoUG-
LAS" Democracy. They are National Demo
Gratis of tried integrity. They would no soon
er support Sectional man in the North than a
Southern Disunionist or Fire Eater. Mr.. SHER-
MANS presumption in charging upon DOUGLAS
Democrats" airy disposition to dsorganize the
Democratic party, deserves the most emphatic
rebuke. 1t is to such impudence as this tina: a
Black Republican resorts, when he finds his
availability questioned in his own party, and
hopes to repair his damage position by falsely
assuming that he has acquired strength among
his opponents. Such tricks as this should ai
ford the greatest encouragement to the Democ-
racy 1t is the most conclusive evidence that
the Republicans of Ohio have no confidence in
their success, when they make these clandes
tines appeals to their adyersares. Read the
following:

prize the Democracy Of the State to what our
opponents are willing TO resort for the purpose
oil 'disorganizing" Gin the lucid language of the
Hon. NJ. e. our party. We have the original

- sHERMAN'S LETTER. '..
a-a MANLFIELD, July 1st 1853
DgAR SIR:--I ain we'll aware there is work
in Mt. Gilead for on to do Your p NJ !, al
though affecting to be Douglas Democrat, is
an out administration man, and am satisfied
that many ofmy speeches which were to pass
through your Office, never reached the men for
whom they were intended.
Now, there are secures Of Douglas p. MS
in Ohio, and they are doing much towards dis
organizing Democracy, and why not have one in
your place? Please set to work and onset him
Unless this work is attended to through
the U. S ,Oe aoV lose tie latte in go
Be sure and attend to this matter, and keep
me posted in regard to it. Yours, &C.,
JoHN SHERMAN.
There it is verbatim ct literatim." We can
inform the Hon. Gentleman that the p. NJ. at
Mt. Gilead will not bc removed, for the simple
reason that he is a Democrat and will do
nothing to "disorgani&o the Democracy" with
cut reference to the Administration or Mr. Doug.
las especially since it is admitted that such a
conrse will lose the battle to the Republicans
in 800. AS the Hon. Gentleman desires to be
posted, We will give him this information gratis
1t is but justice TO say that the charge made
by the Hon. Gentleman in relation to his spec
ches sent by the bag full to this county, are I'M
true. Although he has ignored Democrats in
sending documents to his constituents, they all
have been faithfully delivered at this office.

Mr.. SHERMAN may rely on it that he counts
entirely without his host, in hoping Cor any
"lisorganzation" of the Dcmocratlc party, by
the friend of Douglas. They will make every
h norable sacrifice fer Democratic unity, and as
SHERMAN contsses, by that very means the
Black Republicans ''a0W losc tIe batele in go.
For once JonN SHERMAN may be set down as a
prophet, as to the result in 60. Let his pre-
d ction be remembei ed. The Democrcy of Ohio
know their power. The men Mr.. SHERMAN
styles douglas Democrats" are true and tried
mcnof principles. They will go as far as the
farthest to preserve the harmony Of the party,
and thus render the propagation Of thoir prin-
ciples successful Mr.. SHERMAN libels them
grossly, in assuming that they will countenanco
the least possible effort at Democratic disorgan-
ization, come from what quarter it may, high
O. low, far or near. This fact is well know n,
a I'd Mr. SHERMAN has as much chance to get the
support of the Douglas Democrats inhis Dis
trict, as he has ofbe,ng made Emperor Of
France in thirty days from date. Statesman.
