HoY. VIM. LAwRENCE.-The Boston
.dHas. in an article relative to Ohio politics,
speaks as follows respecting the gentleman
who at this time ipis-represents the 18th
District in Congress:
"XVII District is at present represented
by VIM. Lawrence, Douglas Buchanan
man. He is a poor shoat, and we hope
and believe that he will be defeated. His
majority two years ago was 1880. But
the people in that quarter of the State read
and won't be cheated twice running"
A correspondent sends us the following,
n copy of his speech ut Cambridge on the
10th inst: =.
"Kansas; Lecompton Constitution; Eng
lish Bill; Black Republicans; My friend Cox
and l have passed through the fire and the
water; Consequently they were not burn
ed): God Almighty Thank You for your
kind attention"
This is about such speech as Gen.
Burns made when nominated,

Congressional Convention.

The proceedings of the Republican Con,
fgressional Contention for this district, heiu
in tnis place on last Thursday, VIII De
found in another column, The convention
was a full one, and its proceedings eharac-
terized BY great good feeling and harlnoni-
ous action. Judge Hall, of Millersburg,
whose name had been mentioned III con-
nection with the nomination, appeared be-
fore the convention, and declined being a
candidate. Then the convention, by one
unanimous and enthusiastic acclaim, pro-
claimed as our standard bearer in the COM
ing contest the name Of WILLIAM Hell
MICK, of Tuscarawas county. His name
will be found occupying its proper place
in our ticket. Of Mr.. Helmick's private
and political character we need not speak
-he is of the people, known 10 the people,
and Just the man for the people in these
times that try mems souls. As an evil
dence of his popularity at home, and of his
fitness to wear congressional honors and to
fairly represent the whole people of the
district, we are assured that he will run
hundreds ahead of his ticket in his OWL
county. We are also assured that, in Knox
and Holmes counties, he will receive larger
vote than has ever before been given to
Republican candidate for Congress. In
this county we know he will receive very
large vote-if not a majority.
! After the nomination, and the other bu,
iness of the convention was through with
and having few hoursleft, they added
to The good feeling of all by several short
speeches. DR.. Kirk, of Knox, was the Isl
to take the stand. He reviewed the poll
cy of the present Adminis.ia!ion-its cor
rnption, its prohigacy, its betrayal Of the
freemen of the North 10 ingratate itsei
into the tender embraces of the slavedriver;
of the South, its attempt with threat anc
a bribe TO fasten the curse of slavery upol
the freemen of Kansas, and its unprecedent
ed use of government patronage as means
to enforce its corruption-as with mas
ter hand. He promised a good account o
the Republicans of Knox county at the bal
lot box this fall. During his remarks
Wash Wolf, (who had been sent there BY
his boss and "Billey," they knowing ,ha
he is ever ready, for a pint of "bald face,'
to do any really mean thing,) stuck hi
nose into the Court House, and, with ;
small scrap of paper in his hand containing
a number of interrogatories Asa had pre-
pared for him, Wash, himself, it must b.
remembered, is awful ignorant,) commen
ced 10 PROFOUND them to the Doctor. Well

of their, children in regard TO sticking thei
noses where they were not wanted. w
venture Wash will not do so again.

by Messrs. IIildt, McElvain, Golfer, Hall

H The scene in the Court House and
outside of it, shortly after Burns, got thro'
with thanking the Delegates for having
nominated him, was one it would have
been difficult for an artist TO represent on
canvass. Some of the crowd Immediately
left looking very much as if they had been
sent for, and rere glad TO come, whilst they
that remained hung their heads, and SEEM
ed to be looking around over the floor for a
coal or wood box to creep into. And then
such faces. We thought they looked
Payne-fully long last fall, after the election
news began to come in, but they were no.
thing compared to the faces put on after
listening TO Burns speech. They've looked
bad ever since, and if they had 70 listen to
another such speech we venture to say
that it would be difficult to tell whether
they had the lockjaw tr whether one side
of their face had been strck with paralysis.

DouGLAs IN RAGE.-Senator Doug
las, it would appear, quite lost his temper
on perusing the speech of Senator Trum-
bull. In regard to the charge of the lat
ter, that ho had squelched popular sover-
eighty out of the Toombs bill, he is repor-
ted to have said at Beardstown:

He would sooner have both his cars cut off,
than make the charge to my face
To prevent "charges being made to bis
face" Senator Douglas takes good care
not to be confronted with either his col
league or competitor. Instead of cutting
off Trumbull's ear for stating the fact, we
advise our Senator TO cut out the page
from the record containing it.-Ckeegc

John Mitchell, though regular
Democratic gun, sometimes makes an ef-
fective shot in his own camp. In a late
number of his paper he says: 80
"We shall say in plain English, that the
National Democracy is and must bc n
power created and held together, not by any
principle Of action, but solely and entirely
by money, by the expectation and smell Of
of money, by the tradition and tender re-
minisences Of money,-and that its sole use
is to cover over and conceal n rent hat yawns
and shall yawn eternally. This being the
case, the question arises, does it pay at
eighty millions? And ifyes, then whom
does it pay, and who pays it!

ENCOURAGING ANNOUNCEMENT. The
Charleston Mercury INDUCES in the most
encouraging views of the prospect of the
Republican party. 1t closes long article
upon the subject of the Kansas election as
follows:
"For our part we have, for some time
past, looked to the mastery Of the General
Government by the Abolitionists to bejust
as shure to take place as any other event
morally certain in the course of human
affairs. The whole history Of the country,
for the last twenty or thirty years, points
to this result rs inevitable in the usual
course of things. The South, could, ere
the battle was fought and won, have bro
ken up the deadly sequence of effect from
cause which was rolled over her destinies /;
but she has failed to interpose for her pro-
lection, and no mortal efforts within the
Union, in our Judgment. can arrest the tri-
umph of abolitionism in seizing the govern
ment. 1t may be propitiated and postpo-

SroxING THE CARs.-On Tuesday eve
ming of last week, rs the down train on the
C. Z. d c. R. R. (Which had been him
dercd an hour or more in consequence of the
damage at Newburgt) was between Wolf
Greek and Clinton, a volley of stones was
thrown at the cars. One passenger was hit
by stone; and Mr.. John Rice, the Engi-
neer, was hit on the nose and very badly
hurt; so much so, that the Coductor was
obliged to return to Akron for another
Engineer, aud the train was detained at
Clinton until near midnight.
Mr.. Rice had his nose deeply cut by a
stone which hit him. The wound was dress
ed by DR.. A. A.Zipperling, and Mr.. Rice is do
ing well.
It's to be hoped that the malicious scoun-
drels who committed this unprovoked out
rage, will be detected and punished as they
deserve.

the nomination, was just an inch and a

Now we deny the proposition. 1t Is an
entire fallacy. There can be no consiitu-
ton made nor no application preferred, ab-
solutely binding, until possessing the pop
ulation necessary for one member OF Con
gress, and proceeding in pursuance OF the
enabling bill, Kansas presents herself AS
having complied with its provisions. Irui
it is, that Congress may waive its o9Iec-
tions to the irreguIarity of the proceedings
and admit State which did not proceed un-
der an enabling bill but are do not think
this a case for departing from the general
rule. No State ought to
be admitted with less than the population
required by the general rule, unless under
most extraordinary circumstances. In the
case of Kansas they do not exist.

TEaat;s The EssGc.

We are only anxious that plain, pal
pable, positive, issue be made between the
Republicans and Democrats of Ohio, and,
so far We see no reason 10 doubt that this
will be accomplished. That issue is
whether Kansas may come in rs q Free
State without regard to population. To
this the Democrats say No. The States
man in an article says:
The Black Republicans pretend that Kan
sas has right to come in whenever she
chooses, and under any terms, provided it
is with a constitution excluding slavery,
because her former applications have been
entertained.

Gov. CoRwIN on THE SrUNp.-Gover-

early, and has already made speeches at
Morrow, Chilicothc, and other points,
His nomination appears to be favorably re-
ceived in the several counties composing
the Warren District, and there is no doubt
of his election by a large majority. The
Republican press of the district gives him
cordial support. Gov. Corwin spoke a.
London, Madison county, a few days ago

that his friends apprehended trouble in Sc
