During the past week several Democratic
meetings have been held in this County,
which have been largely attended by the
hard .fsted yeOmanry. Indeed, since the last
Presidential canvass we have no! witnessed
such interest and enthusiasm among the
democracy. They seem to appreciate their
position before the Country-to be aware
that if this government is 10 be kept out oil
the hands Of disunionists and nullters ii
must be through their votes and their exer
tiOns; and in their efforts they have the SYM
palhy and encouragement Of many persons
who have formerly acted with the RepubIi-
can party, believing the leaders of that party
to be true and loyal 10 the Constitution and
the Union, but who are now satisfied, from
the declarations of those leaders, and from
the Platform of the Republican party itself,
that they have been acting with an organ-
zation, the controlling element OF which Is
hostile TO the Union and the general welfare
OF its people Numbers OF these conserva-
live men will this fall vote the entire Demo-
cratic ticket, while Others, abhoning the
doctrines Of Chase, Giddings * Co., andyet
unable 10 overcome a strongly rooted pTeju
dice against the democracy, will refuse to
vote at oil. The Republican organs and
leaders are aware Of this, and are making a
desperate attempt TO wheedle the Union.lov-
ing and law abiding old Wings into the sup.
port Of Che ticket aud platform Of the nu'lifi-
ers, by proposing questions IN certain local..
ties which are not at issue between the par

deceived once too often and are not to be
caught again, They will not vote the nuli.
fiers ticket and thus endorse the nullifying
platform, no matter what side-issue the wire
workers may propose. In this determina-
tion they are right. 1t is useless for them to
think about any other political question un-
til the gentlemen OF color" is disposed Of,
and they might just as we'll settle that ques-
ton now as at any other time.
In the north part of the State, where the
simon-pure Republican doctrine is prolnul-
gated by Chase, Giddings, et al. great dissatis-
faction prevails among the abolitionists be-
cause Of the course of Corwin, and they de-
clare that he must be rebuked-that his doc
lrincs (for the maintenance of the Union and
the Constituton) must b. rcpudiated or that
they will no longer act with the Republican
party. In the southern part of the State, where
Corwinism is popular, the Republicans de-
clare that Giddings and SpauldiDg prOmul-
gate doctrines wholly at variance with the
views Of majority of that party, and that if
they are not rebukcdf for their REASONABLE and
di8union acts and sentiments, they, 1.-THE men
Of Southern Ohlo) will no longer fellowship
in the Republican church. This marked
and radical difference between the Republi-
cans North and South Of the National Road
upon The niger question, Is extended TO eve
ry other question now in issue. They do
not agree upon the Independent Treasury
system, nor upon any other question relative
to the financial policy of the State.
The Democracy, on the contrary, act and
speak as one man. Their views are the same
all over the State upon questions OF State
policy, and throughout the Union upon ques-
lions of National policy. The advantage
which the democratic party has is therefore
plainly manifest. 1t is a uni! while its foe
is broken and distracted BY its incongruous
elements.
We say 10 the Democracy Of Vinton that
the indications are bright for glorious vic
tory; but at the same time we admonish then
to work steadily and energetica lily until the
close o. the polls on election day. Remem
Der that sc ternal vigilance is the price OF lib
erty," and that if we would have those prin
cipes triumph which we regard as best cal
culated to secure those rights and perpetuatt
that Union, left US by our forefathers, we
must rUork WORK W0RK!!!
