CHILLIcoTHES Sept. 10 i Il
There wRssa joint meeting OF the Re,
pubhcaus and Democrats, here 10 day. to "a
listen to the discussion between the two G
candidates for Governor. Nv. Dannisou q
made the FIRST speech. He Commenced
BY a resume Of the positions heretofore ad-
vanced on both sides. He said: IA
There is a difference as to the conpar-
ativs expenses Of the State government
under different administrations. He chatg
sd that the expenditures Of the Democrat
ic governments have ell along been in
creased over those Of Republican, while
Ranuey says the expenses ofthe iour last
years exceed those ofthe four years pre-
'vious; the speaker called for authority and
gave the Auditor as his informant. On
Breslu be charged delalcation, alledging
that the other State officers knew thereof,
but covered il up. and endorsed the fraud
by accepting nomin aIions on the same
ticket, with known defaulters, while Ran
ney' denies the complicIty Of the Demo
cratic parry, and alledgss that there is Re-
publiean authority that the money was on
hand. The speaker then quoted the let
ter Of Auditor Morgan, to prove that be
knew ofthe fraud going on. and proved
the Democratic complioity in this knowl-
edge; be contrasIed the action OF Chase
in requiring the deiaulter Gibson to re-
sign, and claimed that this was sufficient
basis Of confidence in this regard. There
is also difference as to the responsibility
ofthe Democracy, for the non. passage Of a
law up to 1856 for protecting the Treas
ury; Ranney claiming that the Wings
, killed legislation, and asserting that the
. old laws were in force.
This cannot clear the majority, who
= were informed OF the necessity Of legisla'
J ton by the knowledge of the peculation
going on, while the Wings were not. He
: showed the RupublicaOs', 6rst act was 10
pass bill Tor the protection OF the Treas
ury. Ha expressed his desire to see a
perfect system established. He does not
b and never has A ,tsd that Kefey's Bill was
: the best possible: but thinks it safer than
8 existing laws. Ae related its provisions,
comparing them with the so called Sub
Treasury Law, which he considers as Of
g feringra premium to banks. and unsafe
i Next he Pefeared 10 The Fugitive Slave
. Act. He should drem it right if the iov'
n ernor would execute this act so long as un
repealed, but believes it unjust and odius
. and an insult to the people OF the free
q States. By this he does not impeaeh Clay
+ he did not wait till Clay died to discover
j his virtues. but had passed his politica
life in his vindicalion.
. The present Fugitive SlaveAot origiua
ted with Mason Of Virginia,and Clay only
} acqniesced te procure peace for the Unicn
1t making il one Of the measures Of the com
/. promise. He denied point blank the bay
"a onet conversation, bat said he bad Away
said he would execute all laws as deter
u mined by the proper Courts. He took uI
'E the Slavery question and was unable 4
m point ont The difference thereon between
IA the parties. He knew what the Republi
. cans want, but not what the Democrat
are after. The Republican party was or
"a eanized to arrest the extension OF Slavery
into the Territories; to check, within th'
=
!. purposes OF the slave power. and TO be
come supreme in the government. This
70 is TO be effected by demanding Of Congress
e 10 prohibit Slavery in the Territories
Mt and by re. organization OF the Supreme
Court SO tbattbe people Of the Free State
may be fairly represented. Also by d'vi
ding public lands into quarter sections a
ct homesteads for poor white men.
in TO these ends we intend TO use all lh'
power given US under the Constitution
y This is carrying out the intention Of th'
n' trainers OF the government.
IN Until 1860, except by the resolution o
i. Calhoun, there was no question rs 10 tn
st power Of Congress to iegislate for tE
" Territories, and to prohibit Slavery there
" In i847 resolution was passed. by III
be Ohio Legislature instructing our Senator
ed to vote for the Wilniot Proyiso, or it
equivalent, 10 be attached to the Oregon
:. Bill and to all billsiorg rganizing Territories
and but three members Of The Democrats
10 party Of Ohio in Congtess. in l847, re
IN fuieu 10 vote for that Proviso. This h
re- said because Mr.. Pugh had denied It
=. few nights since, and he had the recor,
at hand to prove il. The Democrat
" doctrine. is mixed. In continuation Ii
o. said. aa.
mt Douglas. says there is no unity in tn
nd Democratic party on this question:
"A Some say the Constitution carries SLAYER
into ali the Territories, and that Oongres
should protect il, while others say Con
To- gress has no power over il, and there is
ID, lhird class. including Douglas, whic
no says something or nothing about III
:, people establishing or excluding SLAYER
- at will, which is said to be Squatter Sol
TX ereign,y. Which view Ranney takes h
al. could not say. but was willing to unde
90 stand him as non.interxeniie mist Of tt
M Douglas creed. This sort Of non n.inte
- vention is practically a fraud; it is onl
" non intervention by Congress, while
'r' leaves room for Executive intsryention?.
en II the Kansas. Nebraska bill was intende
=. to, give this ,pow4R to exclude SLAYER
-. from the Territories. why was Chase
