EgThe locofocos, for some several days,
have been in quite fizz in reference to
who shall be their candidate for Congress.
The house is divided against itself. and
present appearances indicate that their pet
bird "harmony" is likely to have some of
its feathers picked. Councils of war have
been held, and "head felers" can't agree
as to who shall be chosen to bear their
colors to the battle. Some ofthem, know
ing that they twill be beaten anyhow"
are opposed to sacrificing one Of their own
men and ore in favor of "trying their
hand" on Gen Eckley. They think that
by securing his influence, with the aid of
those of bis friends who will 60 with him,
they will show better fight than with ore
of their own men. To "kill two birds
with one stone," is their object, i. e. if
possible, defeat the Republican party of
Carroll county, and break Gen EckIeys
back politically, in order to get him out Of
their way, for he has long been source of
annoyance to them. (T'he first they can
not do.)

ETThe local of the Democrat seemed
to be much exercised, last week, in regard
to the proper course to be pursuedh vo-
ting atthe Republican JudisisbCOnvention
at Alliance (Which came off on Thursday
last.) We would suggest to that gentle
man that it would be well for him to let
the Republicans fix and settle their own
political matters among themselves, and
if they find that they need his assistance
they will call on him. At present per.
haps, it would be better for him to apply
himself 10 the task of assisting the democ-
racy in allaying the stew they are in about
what they shall do at their Congressional
Convention next Friday in reference to ta-
king up candidate-whether they shall
nominate one Of their own men or 90 for
Gen. Eckiev.

Congress il viii be expected. BY our read
ers, that We say a word or two, BY war vf
defining our position. Well, we say, that
/ il has been our intention, from the COM
meneement Of the contest for the nomina-
ton, as it now is that il M Bingham
should be placed in nomination by a fair
expression ofthe will of the party, that
he should have our hearty support. That
this expression has been given, in a fair
and honorable manner, without the exer-
else Of any improper influence, upon the
part Of Mr. Bingham, is a fact that all
must admit. The road Of duty then is
| plain before US, and we shall, without the
slightest fear of being convicted Of incon-
sistenoy, pnEesitatingly pursue it.
NeTer has the 2ist Congressional Dis
trict of Ohio been 50 ably represented,
as in the person of the pressDt imcum-
bent, and there is, therefore no good rea-
son why any Anti-Administration voter,
whether American or Republican, should
Withhold from him his support, or worseslill
vote for the Administration candidate
whoever that candidate may be.
Although Mr. b. is not quite Ameri-
can enough for us, yet, he is infinitely
better in this respect, than any man from,
the Democratic ranks. And then, be
has shown himself to be as true as steel,
on the great issue ofhe day. We shall
rejoice on the occasion of Mr. Bingham's
triumphant election, with the same heart
felt pleasure. as though he had been our
first and only choice for the nomination.
Had we not intended, faithfully to support
Mr. Bingham, iffairly nominated, it would
have been an npjustifable interference on
onr part, to have taken any part Whatev
er, in the movements OF the Primary
Meetings. We say theu, in good faith,
cheers, one, two, and three, for John A
Bingham. iSeubenville. True american.
10 the face of this support tLen, that
Mr. Bingham is receiving, not only from
the united Republicans of tie three other
counties of the District, but also from the
americans of Jefferson county, why will
our friends persist in running Gen, Eek
ley against the regular nominee of our
party? 1t will not only result in his de-
feat, and in cripplDg his influence for
the present, but it will inevitably dam
age his political prospects for all time to
come.

of Executive dNAiation and Federal cor
ruption. He said
l shall not speak of platforms. They
are sometimes too narrow and some
times too broad. They are sometimes
too sectional but never too national. The
platform on which l stand in this can

preserve the apple Of your eye. Teach
your representatives that when platforms
are all broken up by the conclusion OF
political elements or when they are mis-

they may safely and securely follow the
right acherever Il may lead Tell them
that when they go to the federal capital
as the representatives of the people, they
need not feel the pressure OF any letters
beyond those which the Genius of Con-
stitutional liberty wears. Thus will you
