The Constitutional Amendment.

1t must not be forgotten that Al Amend
mont to the Constitution is to be voted up
on at the coming election That amend
ment is in Dur paper, and has been there
among the advertisements, for almost siS
months. 1t provides for Annual Sessions
and requires the Legislature to sit every
year. Those voting for it, will write upon
their tickets, Annual Session, Yes.'-thosc
voting against it, Annual Session, No
We ore among those who think that the
interests of Ohio are so large, so cOmplica-
ted, and that SO many changes occur during
each year, that annual sessions will be found
to be indispensable in almost every instance;
yet we greatly doubt whether any change,
whatever, will be made in the Constitution,
which requiresa majority of the votes given
in the state, until the necessity for such a
charge becomes very plainly evident to the
people at large. So long asa vote-not Civ
en- at all, counts the same as a vote against
the change, the want of such change must
be deeply felt before a majority will take
the trouble to vote either for or against it.

OWN to the Tar and Feathers.

Judge Ranney spoke, a short time since,
to a slim audience at Cincinnati. The
Commercial says he made a strong point
on the rhetorical acume of Vice President
Breckenridge s speeches" viz
The Democratic party is the only party
having material strength in every latitude. -
The blanket of the Republican party hardly
reached below the National Road. In all
sections of the Union where lived and labor
ed the Washingtons, the Jeffcrsons, the
Marions and the Jacksons Of the nation, the
Republican organization wa unknown-its
orators unheard. 15
An ill-timed explanation of the absence
of a Republican organization in the South
was here interposed by a political friend of
the Hibernian persuasion, who had not yet
been thoroughly trained in his duty at
Ward meetings,-.7hat's oacin' to the tar
an feathers. ger honor" The Judge was
taken ahack and to give himself time to
collect his disordered thoughts, he held his
hand to his ear and leaned his head for
ward, as if be desired to catch what his
friend had said. At this juncture several
of the real .Unterrifed" came to his relief,
and in true Democratic style shouted out
Move him! dn him, move him." And
he was moved, much to the satisfaction of
the speaker.

More Help for the Democracy.

The Democratic papers and bar room
takers, often boast of the accessions made
to their party; but some years have passed
since We have been able to find one single
instance, either of a true Republican be-
coming prOslavery, or of any gain whatey-
CT, except when boys become men, land
few native born young men join that par
! ty,) and when voters are manufactured
from freshly imported foreigners; at last
we have heard of the real accession to
the party of one individual, who is engaged
in devoting all his ~eloquence, all his infu-
cnce, all his honesty? and all of his odor
to the u~pbuilding of the Democratic party.
Professor S. B. Thompson, a cullod pus-
son, who whilom smoothed the chins of
the citizens Of Warren, then started an ca
ring saloon on the capital of his industri-
Gus wife'e money earned by washing, lee
tured to the people of Salem, Ashtabula,
&c, in the capacity of fugitive slave,
processing to be trying to get money to
go to Liberia, helped to whip Ben Scott,
another colored individual, who was sus.
pected of trying to recapture a fugitive
slave, &c. &c, has, as VIC learn from the
Albion Beacon, finally joined the Demo-
crazy. The Beacon says
Recently. we learn, that some oouspicu-
ous Democrats" here, lone of them en-
phaticaly a hader,) employed IS. B.
Thompson Esq, Attorney at Law and bar
Der, and professor of animal magnetism,
and lecturer upon Natural Science to de-
liver a democratic address to the good peo-
pie of Mogadore. This distinguished AT.
rican, (''thirty years a Slave" he says
accordingly made a speech in hat village,
en- the 18th inst.
He claimed, as we understand, TO hare
studied ldv ~iM ,Judge Ranney. Now
of course nobody believes that claim is
true. but so long as it remained u~ncontra-
dicted. it might possibly gain him hearing
and credence. But he made a democratic
speech. in which, be showed not only his
soundness upon the Cincinnati platform,
but his utter hostility 10 the principles and
policy of the black republican party.
Whether he advocated Slavery itself there,
las We are told he has elsewhere) we do
not know; nor do weiearn distinctly wheth-
or he adheres to the Administration or to
the Douglas wing, We suspect the latter.
W. presume the speech vas worthy of the
cause.
Thompson has had some controversy
with Brooks, the colored preacher living in
this vicinity. We observe that the DeBs-
publishes letters of Brool S and
holds him up to ridicule, thus evidently
10 aid Thompson who is the cham
rion of its principles. If Thompson and
the Democracy are united in opposition to
Brooks. lie may as well give up the con-
test. lie is heored.

port even a sketch of ~ThompsOn's Mega
lors speech. Delivered under the sanction
Of the reputed Editor, was it too favorable
to Douglas to suit him? !

Contrasts.

Some writer has said ''the political an
tipodcs sometimes are close together, even
in the same brain" Judging from the
last Democrat, this must be the case with
its editor. That paper had a long article
from very sanctimonious parsonage in Hart
ford. which sorely berated the Atlantic
Monthly, and charged it with disseminating
in6del sentiments, and in the next column
it copies an article from the London Times,
mourning over the emancipation of tina
West India negroes, and covcrtly advoca-
ting their reinstatement. When it is re-
collected that among those emaneipated
slaves, were over 1000 who were members
of the Methodist Church, the beautiful con-
s%istcncy of the Democrat will be obvious.

THE Safe Middle Ground

The Washington Constitution has much
to say of the safe middle ground" upon
which the whole Democratic party is called
to unite, regarding the question of slavery
In the Territories. This ''safe middle
ground is thus laid down by the national
organ: .g
The Constitution, according to the decis-
ioR of the highest tribunal known to this
Government. SECURES TO EVERY CITIZEN
THE RIGHT0F TAKING AND HOLD
ING HIS SLAVES IN ANY OF THE
UNITED STATES. This is the bond.
aad by it we believe the people of the
Northern States are willing to abide.
Honor. truth, pliehted faith, and every
other sacred principle known and appreci-
ated By individuals and communities, de
mand it.
What is. the inevitable deduction which
flows from this statement of facts? The
CURSE OF sLAvERY-IF 1T BE A CURSE
THE BLESSING OF sLAyERY-IF 1T BE A
GOOD OR A BLEssIsG-MUST BE ALIKE
ENDURED OR ENJOYED By THE
PEOPLE OF A TERRITORY, DURING
THE EXISTENCE OF THE TERRIFIC

the Speakers of that County. As Mr.. Hutch

Chat part cut off from the county of Trum-
BULL in Congress, and Mr.. COx-thc two
counties in the State Senate, it is but fair
that a part Of their campaign labOrs should

the Republicans of that County a right to
demand this when they have so much stron-

Signs of Rebellion

The following paragraph from the Gin,
cinnati Commercial, indicates the state Of
Democratic harmony in old Hamilton. The
Cuyahoga Nationals feel about the same
way:
There are a large number Of Democrats
in Hamilton county, who are profoundly
dis gusted, and not a little indignant. at
the operations of the Douglas clique. They
have heretofore permitted the blustercrs Of
the Little Giant to have every thing their
own way, and there has not been even a
strong symptom of an Administration party
here. There are indications that there will
be a reform in this particular. Those of
the Democracy who have not sold out to
the Douglas plumber seekers, will not long
allow the Enquirer moral triumph men
to claim to lead the whole party in the
State by the nose.

Robbaries at New Castle.

The last New Castle Journal contains
The particulars of a series Of rObbcries com
mitted upon stores and dwellings, in that
place during the past week. showing that
the business of thieving has been quite
brisk.
On Wednesday night. 21st inst, an eff
fort was made to enter the store of Tidball
& Blevins, at the back window, but the
burglars broke their chisel and left, after
which they entered the Post Office, through
the front window, by cutting a hole in the
shutter so that they could reach in and re
move the bolt. They stole the small change
in the box on the counter, AMI two hun
dred coppers lying in one Of the newspaper
boxes. adjoining which lay a purse contain
ing SEA in gold, but concealed from their
observation by an old plate. which diShed
their calculations to that amount.
On the same night the hat and fur store
Of Mcmillan & Sons was broken into, and
furs and other goods to the amount of
sl5o were stolen. The dwelling of James
Arnold. in East New Castle. was next Wis
tied, entered with a false key, and thirty
dollars and a watch stolen.
On the night following. the grocery of
Mr.. Ehriscr was entered by means of skel-
.cton keys, his money-drawer broken open.
andsilver change ard coppers to the amount
of several dollars distracted; also a box Of
herring. some segars, and other articles.
The boot and shoe shop of Nh. Welsh was
also visited, but he had taken the precau-
tom to remove everything of value to his
dwelling and the thieves realized nothing
but a pair of old boots that had been left
there for repairs. The same evening Mr.
Thomas Campbell had an Overcoat stolen
from his dwelling.
On the Monday evening previous the
warehouse of L. W. Cunningham was en-
tered. through a window. by breaking a
pane of glass and removing the nail that
secured the sash. a keg of butter. sever
al pieces of bacon and a small box of goods
were stolen.

Republican Voters Of Trumbull County

On next Tuesday you will once NOR

ance to your zeal for the right, your Ia.
tired of wrong. and exercising the highest
and dearest privilege of a freeman, that Of
choosing your own lawgivers. But not
alone is the act Of voting a privilege and .
right. it is a high duty which each man
owes to himself. his family, his country and
the world. To himself if he would live
under just laws; to his family, if he would
have their rights secured to them; to his
country if he wishes it to be great, pros.

would have the influence of one of the most
influential of this worlds nations be al

In this county, you arc strong; We arc
proud to say you have a large majority;
many might stay at home and still your
candidates be elected. But it is not alone
that you may carry this county and this
Senatorial District, that you should vote.
There are other counties in this State where
all this is reversed. where the cause of free
dom and the interests of free labor are lost
sight of by the majority, and the influence
of the slave holder and Of popular ignor-
ance rules, and the ~pro-slavery party are
in the ascendcncy. To overbalancc the
majorities. in such counties, to elect our
excellent State Ticket, to give aid and COM
fort to the Republican Party in the whole
United States, the vote of every Republi-
can on the Western Reserve is just as much
needed as if in each County on the Re-
serve the Republicans had but the major
ity of one single vote.
Remember that The who is not for us
is against u.s." that every Republican who
fails to vote does half as much injury to
the cause of freedom and of human rights,
as he who votes decidedly against u.s.
Remember that the present contest is
of more than ordinary Importance, an i'm
portance which must not be measured by
its apparent immediate results, but which
viii reach far into the future. The action
of the Republicans of Ohio, on next Tues
day, will decide whether there shall be a
Republican or 4 Pro-Slavery majority in
the next legislature. That majority,
whichever it may be, will elect . U. S.
Senator, to fill the vacancy when Mr..
Pugh's term of Office shall expire, which
will be on the 4th of March next 1t

Legislature will also re-appOrtion the State

a~pportionment, was made by q Democratic
Legislature and was grossly unfair, actu-
ally DISTINGUISHING thousands of Republi-
can voters, 50 far as voting for Congress
men was concerned
Republicans! you have a large MAORI
" in this State, and it rests with you to
decide whether a man worthy to represent
