Geo. H. Pendleton is the present Rep
resentative from this District. He is a
man of great wealth, and fair character
and talents. He belongs essentially to
tho would be -aristocracy Of our country,
which draws him naturally to affiliate with
the Southern shareholders. He made
some show of resistance to the Lecompton
Swindle, hut cavedin, and is now rel nomi-
mated as the Admins tration candidate.
The Republican candidate is T. G. Day
Mr.. Day was formerly the most prominent
Democrat of Cincinnati. Was for time
the Editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer"
Was elected to Congress by the Demo-
Gratis, and went with the party until 1t sold
itself to the Slave power of the South
ard made the honest love of freedom and
country crime. From the time OF the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and
the determination to make slavery the su-
preme law of the land, Mr.. Day, with
thousands of other honest Democrats, were
drawn into the ranks Of the great Repub-
lican party, where he has nobly battled for
the right. We think he will be elected.

Eighth District.

benjamin. Stanton is the present NOM
Der, and the Republican nominee for re-
election in this District. He was an Old
Line Wing, is man of great ability and
sterling integrity. Has served his con-
stituents faithfully for several years, and
will be elected, we have no doubt, by a
large majority.
VIM. Hubbard, Editor Of the Logan
Gazette, is his competitor on the Le-
compton ticket. He, too. is an Old-Line
Whig," of tho oldest kind. His paper
has been the bitterest of any in the State
against the Democratic party. Tie would
like to have been the candidate on the
other side, but when Stanton was re-noni-
mated, Mr.. Hubbard and his "Gazette"
still supported Mr.. Hubbard, and there :
fore the Lecomptonites nominated Mr..
Hubbard, of the "Gazette" as their can
didate, and Mr.. Hubbard, as editorof the
Gazette" earnestly supports Mr.. Hub
bard, as the Buchanan Democratic nomi-
nee. Mr.. Hubbard will do all he can to
elect Mr. Hubbard, but Mr.. Hubbard can't
be elected

eCOnd District.


VIM. S. Groesbeck is the present mem
Der, and is the Lecompton nominee for
reelection. He made strong speech
against the Lecompton iniquity, and then
backed down and voted for it,. In return
for this treason to his constituents, and
qualification of himself, the Administra-
ton has secured his denomination, and
will use it's power to secure his election.
The Republicans have nominated John
A, Gurley as their candidate in this Dis
trict. lie, like r. G. Day, and others,
was formerly leading and influential
Democrat. But Mr.. Gurley, not being
possessed of that easy virtue that permits
a man to change his principles at the bid
ding of an Oligarchy, found himself,
while honestly opposisg the mad schemes
of oppression and fraud that were being
enacted in the name OF Democracy, acting
with the Republicans. AS an honest man
should, he went where he could maintain
his principles. and consequently united
with the Republican party. He IS no"
their candidate, and will, we hope, be
elected, although the District is largely
Democratic.

seventh District.

Aaron Harlan is the present member
from this District. Hon. Thomas Corwin,
Ex-Governor, has been nominated by the
Republicans as his successor. Corwiu has
taken no part in politics for several years,
but the pending crisis has called him from
his retiracy, to assist in rescuing from the
hands of the spoilers the institutions which
our fathers established and cemented with
their blood. He is now doing a great
work for the Republican cause. He will
be triumphantly elected, and his powerful
voice will again be heard in tho Halls oi
Congress, battling for the right against
the tyranny and corruption of the party
that in the desecrated name of Democracy,
is building up the most Profiigate and
shameless Despotism that ever cursed any
country. His election is sure.

Fifth District.

Richard Mott is the present able and
popular member from this District. James
NJ. Ashley, man of talent and energy
is the Republican nominee to succeed him.
Like many others, ne was leading Demo
crat up to the imitation of the Kansas
outrages, which necessarily threw him,
as an honest mau, into the Republic an

fasten the curse of slavery on the people
of Kansas, against their united and indig-
nant protest. Mr.. Ashley took his stand
with Judge Warden, Dicky. Case, Day,
Gurley and thousands of others. He has
been an earnest Republican ever since
The District is usually Democratic, and
we think the chances are against him.
He is fine speaker. however, and we will
not bring so hard charge against the
people as to assume that they are so hope

Lecompton tool of Buchanan and the

~We call the special attention Of our
readers to the speech of Col. Forney, IN
to-days paper. 1t is terribly severe in the
truthfulness of the revelations it makes.
Col. Forney is the lifelong personal friend
of Buchanan, and did more than any living
man to secure his election.
That election was secured by the most
solemn pledges to the people, as will be
seen on perusal of the speech. But hay
ing obtained his seat through these solemn
pledges, Buchanan required this same
Col. Forney, to falsify his word, to tram
pie under foot the promises he had made,
and betray the people who had trusted in
good faith the representations which in
duced them to vote the Democratic ticket.
And because he would not write eternal
dishonor on his own brow, and sacrifice
himself and his principles, at the bidding
Of the President, he is denounced as a
traitor. Read the speech. 1t is worthy
of careful study. He speaks what he
knows. If we had more Forney's our
country would be safe. But read the
speech -....

Sixth District.

Joseph r. Ceckerill is the present Lee
compton member in this District. He
stuck to the Calhoun frauds and forgeries
with all the tenacity with which South
ern Democrat clings to a "nigger." The
Administration brought all its influence to
bear to secure his denomination but failed.
The Anti-Lecompton wing of the party
succeeded in throttling him, and nomina-
ted VIM. Howard in his place. If How
ard could be trusted the Republicans
would vote for and elect him. But he is
suspected to be Lecomptonite in dis
guise.
The Republicans have nominated R. W.
Clark as their candidate. He is said to
be a man of fair talents, and great purity
and integrity of character. Tho District
is largely against the Republicans, but we
trust there are patriotic men enough in
the Democratic party who will look at the
good Of their country and vote for Clark.
We hope he will be elected, although the
chances are the other way.

Tenth District.

Joseph Miller is the present Admins
tration member, and has been nominated
by the Calhoun wing of the party for re-
election. He supported the Kansas vii
lainies in all their forms, and denounced
Douglas, and all who favored the people
having fair vote on the institutions under
which they were to live, as enemies to
Democracy.
Carey A. Trimble, is the Republican
candidate in opposition to Miller. He is @
son Of Ex- Governor Trimble, is man o.
fine talents. of tried integrity, and a sound
Republican. The only charge the Demo
cratic "Dispatch," of Gallipolis, car
bring against him, is that he voted for s
P. Chase, the Republican candidate fo
Governor, against his father, who wa'
the American candidate. He will be tri
umphanty elected. The people of tn
District will give Miller such rebuke a
will be warning to all traitors in future
The Anti Lecompton Democrats will joi'
heartily with the Republicans for his de
feat. Miller is Z" dead cock in the pit.

Third DGstrIcG.

C.L. Vallandigham is the present mem
Der from this District. He is an able, but
utterly unscrupulous politician. He was
candidate against L. d. Campbell at the
last election, and was fairly beaten, but
contested the election, and, as the Le-
comptonites had majority in the House,
Mr.. Campbell was ousted and VallandiS-
ham put into his seat. He is straight
out Buchanan man, but is playing the des-
perate game of a double-faced demagogue'
in order 10 secure his election.
L. D. Campbell is tlis Republican can
didate. The District is naturally Demo
cratic, and there is some dissatisfaction
with the nomination of Campbell. Under
all the circumstances, we fear Campbell
will be defeated. He will, however, con
test the case with great ability. and if the
true issue can be presented to the people
we shall hope for the success of L. d
Campbell, the Republican candidate.

hope he will. be-, although the chances are
against him. The District is largely
Democratic. and IL campaign of uDscru-
pulous falsehood and misrepresentation
can deceive and blind the people. Judge
Carey will be beaten. Still we have no
right to assume that truth and right will
be overthrown, aRd therefore shall hope
that Hall. the willing tool Of the slave
power, will receive deserved rebuke al
the hands of his betrayed and insulted
constituents. --cg

V. B. Horton is the present popular
Republican member, but declining re-
nomination, N. II. Van Vorhes is the
Republican candidate in this District
The District was arranged by Demo-
cratic Legislature, with view of giving
it permanently to that party. The popu-
larity of Mr.. Horton and other causes has
enabled the Republicans to succeed at the
ast two elections but from the fact that
the Know-Nothings in the upper counties
have generally gone over to the Lecompton
party, renders the contest doubtful. If,
however. the people of the District wish To
have their true sentiments represented,
they will elect Mr.. Van Vorhes.
