r Importance of tIle October Election
The Ohio Abolition Republicans have tw
Judges on the Supreme Bench who are une
: quvocally and uncomprOmisingly committed t
the doctrine that the fugitive law is unconstitu
} tional, and that it is within the power of til
State Courts to oyerrue the decisions of tn
} Supreme Court of the United States in relation
to it. Another Judge of the same opinion
would give the mad fanatics in our State tn,
controlling power in the Bench of our Snprem,
Court. Judge Swan was defeated in the Con
vention because he did not coincide in opinion
with Rrnkerhoof and Sutliif, and Judge Ghol
son was nominated and is now the candidat,
of that party. Mr. Gddngs says that judge
Gholson is as much bound to take sides will
Brinkerhoof and Sutlif, as though he had taker
an oath to that effect. The election of Ghol
son would therefore give the multiplying d:sunion
lists the power on the Bench There is no like
lihood that the fugitive slave law would be re.
pealed, and hence, in the event of the election
of Gholson, the late decision of the Supreme
Court will, upon the first occasion, be over-ru.
led, and the Supreme Court Of Ohio will pro.
nounce the law unconstitutional Under this
new state of things the higherlaw men will
feel that they have full license to resist the ex-
ecution Of the law, and they will proceed to ex-
tremities in their wicked schemes to overthrow
it, and defy the authorities Of the United
States whenever and wherever they attempt to
execute it. 1t being the law of the land, the
President by his oath Of office is required to see
that it is maintained. 1t is made his sworn
to take care that the laws are faithfully execu-
ted, and for this purpose he is empowered to
use all the force necessary. Dennison also
stands pledged if elected, to resist the cxecu-
tion of this law within the State of Ohio, and
the Abolition Republican candidates for the
General Assembly viii ALL no doubt be of the
Chase, Dennison and Giddings school. The tri-
umph of this party in the October election
would, of necessity, bring our State author-
ties, Executive, Legislative and judicial into
conflict with those Of the United States. and
tlLC NlIiSA NUutt llOW lTUIu u COL
hsion, would be of such character as to fill
the mind of every patriotic citizen with grief
and sorrow. The State would thus, by the
act OF its public servants, occupy indispensable
ground, and stigma would attach to Ohio as
disloyal and rebellious member Of the confed,
eracy. She would be lamentably dsgraccd in
the eyes ofall just men, and the scorn and con-
tempt Of the loyal members of the confedera-
ton would be justly heaped upon her. In the
conflict, neis shbor would be arrayed against
neighbor for in that fearful strife. the Union
loving and law abiding people Of the State wo'd
not be idle spectators. Blood would flow, and
the Union of these States would be in PERIL
We believe that the law would be indicated
and maintained, and the rebellous traitors to
their country would be sabdued. But the oc-
casion for such fearful strife, may all be olivia
ted by the peaceful remedy of the ballot box
BY the complete overthrow of the whole dsu
nion Abolition crew, at the October election
the people Of Ohio can put down and silence
these wicked and bad men forever, and avoid
fearful and terrible catastrophe, which the sue
cess of the abolition ticket would speedily bling
upon the people of the State. 1t is therefore
the bounden duty ofal the sound, conservative,
nion-loving, law-abiding men in Ohio, to op-
pose and vote against the Abolition Republican
ticket, headed by VIM. Dennison, Jr, and thus
save the State rom the odium and sad consc.
1uences which the wicked designs of these
men, ifcarried out, would involve us in. They
ire enemies to the peace and integrity of the (
Union, and as such they should be rebukod by
The people.
The voters of Ohio cannot shirk the respon- |
'ibility that rest upon them at this time. The
ssue is made up and they must meet it, Those
who are willing to put our Union in peril will
,f course vote the Abolition Republican ticket,
out every man who loves his country and the
under whicn we live, ifhe would |
maintain ard defend them, must vote against
he Abolition Republican ticket Statesman.
