Worse and Worse.

As the canvass in Ohio progresses the re-
cord of the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor is undergoing thorough ventilation.
With every new exposition his anti-slavery
sentiments shine more intensely The
Mahoning Register goes back to 1850, and
rakes up from the Mahoning linden. Demo
cratic paper, an account of an indignation
meeting which took place on the 30th of
October. Here is an extract from I'll:
THE Indignation Meeting for Mahoning
county came off here on Wednesday. the Both,
in the Courthouse, and grand, sublime
and inviting Convention il was to the free
men of Mahoning. We are happy to be able
TO say that no DOUGHFAcE atterted the Con-
veniion, for the blessed reason that Mahoning
county contains none, or at least but few,
who stand ready to justify the Infamous
Fugitive Law, or to sing psrans TO the slave
power of the South, which fattens upon the
sweat, the blood and death Of bis fell0w-manl
No ONE, we say. spoke TO that assembiage of
one thousand freeman, tcho did not den0L1ce
as UNCONSTITUTIONAL and INFANoUs. the Fugi-
tive bill OF so. and pledge himself and all
his God given powers to seek its REPEAL, and
to DEFEAT the oppressive and disgusting fea-
lures OF this doughface and hellish emana-
lion Of infamous, impious and distempered
| minds.

1t Is worthy OF remark 10 say that il die
the souls of the Democracy coed 10 hear M
noble and fearless RANNEY denounce, in his ehGS
and sarcastic style, tbs outrageous and pesfferotL
bill! Yes. all were ready to, and did en-
dorse, every word uttered by him on the &C
casion, feeling of truth that although ih'
apOstates from freedom for the sake of Office
had sought to sell us and our children TO tn,
infamous slave power OF this nation, ye
that we had in cur midst men of strong
vigorous minds-men who could not be made
for the sake of Office, or public plumber Il

who would stand by the frecmen of the
North, and aid us all 10 battle for the righ

pestilential law. but for the political dealt

creation of this bill of unmitigated iniamyl
That is what might be regarded "a ultra, i
it emanated from any one not protesting tC

wish them much joy in the possession of {
candidate whose record is worthy of thei
