THE ASHLAND UNION, WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 81 1859,

DIR. Crane, 5 for Cantwell and 81 for Gen.
Fulton. In convention, Captwell received on
first ballot 80 votes, Gen. Falton So DIR. Crane
4-Cantweh receiving a majority of all the
votes east and was really entitled to three votes
from Hanover township that went for Crane,
they having been instructed by their township
to vote for MI. CsntweN, aad it seems to me the
only thing wrong in the voting was in those
three delegates disobeying their instructions,
No one can regret the premature action Of the
Ashland delegation more than myself, and 1
think no one will regret their action more
than themselves wien they shall have looked
upon it as it is, / should have rejofeed with
them over the nomination of an Ashland coun-
ty man, but We cannot always have things as
We would, and more especially is this the ease
in our political aspirations, 1 can see no reason
to justify myself as a democrat in voting against
Gen. Cantwell. Only a few days before our sen
atorial convention, the Democracy of Ashland
county by solemn resolution, pledged herself
to stand by and support the nominee for sena-
tor. Was it right to pass that resolution !.
Every member of the COMMITTEE" was pres
cuI dHQ l. presume VObeQ vi II IcSOlulIOu--
The Ashland delegation visited Mansfield with
the deter1nfaaton to- Nominate their man if it
could be done honorably. With thatview they
opposed every move made by Mr.. Cantwells
friends in convention which they thought
would tend to prejudice their elaims-present-
ed their eandidates-voted for them, and they
were defeated; and after this defeat, withdrew
from the convention. Did they act in good
faith toward the democracy of the district by
so doingS 1 think not, and I trust our good
democratic friends will think better of it. It
cannot be possible hat they desire the election
of a republican. principles not men" has
ever been a favorite motto of the democratic
party. In the nomination of Mr.. Cantwefl we
have secured a high minded, honorable man,
and a sterling democrat; ard in saying this
much of Mr.. Cantwell we would not dispsrage
the merits of Gen. Fulton or DIR. Crane; as
either of them would represent the district
with honor to themselves and our party.
The democratic party has ever ignored Sec
tfonal lines. 1t was the great objection urged
against the election ef Fremont to- the Presis
dency, that he was q sectional car didate-the
candidate of the north only. We then claimed,
and truly, that we knew no north, no south, no
east no west. Shall we now ignore all these
claims heretofore made by US as a party and ads
voeate sectional lines between school districts,
townships and counties? 2. No one will claim
that because Mr.. Cantwell resides a few miles
from the Ashland county line that therefore he
is net a reliable democrat. Let us be true to
ourselves and to the principles of the demo-
cratic party-work harnonously together, and
a glorious victory awaits us. Omitted, we
stand divided, we fall"

Hanover PRIMARY Erection.

~LoUDENvILLE, o., Aug, %, 1880,
II. s. KNAPP, Esq. Dear Sri have no
desire to appear in. print, but circumstances
appear to require that I speak out as there
is some feeling in various parts of the coun-
ty relative to the primary election held on
the 18th inst, and as usual, the blame is at
tached to Hanover township, md I just learn
the evil is attributed to me. Hence 1 make
a simple statement of facts, that the democracy
may have a correct understanding.
There was a proposition made to hold the
Primary Election at the township house, (the
usual place of holding elections until 4o'cloek,
P. NJ, and then move up to town, and receive
the balance in the same manner that it was
conducted last year. This was frequently talked
of and appeared to be mutually acquiesced in;
accordingly they organized by appointing good
and reliable judges and clerk. In company
with some others / left the polls before a half
dozen votes had been polled, returned to town,
and spent the day in my office attending to my
legitimate business, having no doubt but that
the election would be moved to town as agreed
on, until about 4 o'clock, P. NJ, when 1 was
told they would not move. / then went down
to the Township House (about two D lies i'm.
mediately cast my vote, and returned home
That the cote mould hare been materially
changed IF 6~roughtto torn as expected, I feel
quite confident. That there was political Chi
canery on foot 1 am not prepared to affirm or
deny but L do say that those who charge that
I or my personal friends engaged in any in
trigue or measure calculated to wrong any can
didate out Of even handed justice, are misera-
Die, lying hounds.
The meeting was, SO far as 1 can learn, quiz
ct and fair, with the exception of the misun-
derstanding relative to moving to town, and
after the representations made to thejudges, l
can cheerfully free them from censure. 1t is
true that a few individuals worked against
Gen. Fulton and myself, but to mention their
names would give them more notoriety than
they deserve. OF the balance of the ticket
there was but little said as far as l can learn.
I of course had my preference, and for Sena-
tor, should have preferred Gen. Fulton, while
for Representative, DIR. Scott would have been
my first choice, but I can now just rs cheerful
ly give my support to Capt. Cantwell, Messrs.
Taylor and Mcconnell, together with the bal
ance of the nominated ticket. [ certainly SYM
pathise with my disappointed brethren on ac-
count of wounded honor" It is a bad thing,
but physicians do not appear seriously affected
by it. 1 shall avail myself of the campaign
to vindicate my own course and the cause of
democracy With this I dismiss the "Primary
Election" question, remarking to the disap-
pointed aspirants, in the language of Shak-
speare,
"--beingf fooled, by foolery thrive,
There's place and means for every man alive"

Mr.. ED1ToR Il notice in your last issue an
tiers of the Senatorial District composed of
Richland and Ashland Counties" signed by j.
J.. HOFFMAN and others, Committee.
TIL object sought, as appears by said adj
dress, is to induce the democracy of Ashland
County to bolt the nominee of our late Sena-
torial Convention and give their support Gen.
J.. S. Fulton, who, it appears, proposes to be
an independent candidate for the office of Sem
ator: and the reason why democrats should do
this it is claimed are fully set forth in said adj
dress. 1 propose, Mr.. Editor, to examine this
address for the purpose of ascertaining wheth-
sr it be true, as claimed by the same, that dem
ocrats should abandon a candidate put in nom
~inaticn by themselves, and by SO doing secure
the election of a Black Republican to the Sen
ate for if Cantwell be defeated the election
Of a Republican IS sure, for mo one supPoses
for a moment that Gen. Fulton, as an indie
pendent candidate, stands a ghost of a chance.
In the first place said committee complain
bitterly because Riohland county did not sup
port the Hon. G.. w. BULL for the senate in
1851, but on the contrary gave their support
to DIR. Mack of their own county, thereby Gig
noring the claims of Dir. Bull" ] wonder
that a portion of said committee should COM
plain of the defeat of Mr. Bull, and charge
the same upon Richland county when the
prominent part taken by themselves in his de-
feat is SO generally understood in this country.
But enough of this; what are the facts? In
1851 there appeared as candidates for the SEN
ate, Luther NJ. Pratt, and G.. W. Bull of
Ashland county, and DR.. Mack of Richland
county. Ofthe townshipsin Ashland county DIR.
Mack carried Clearcreek, Sullivan and Troy
Mr., Bull carried five townships; Mr.. Pratt
seven. 1t is unnecessary to enquire here who
of the prominent democrats of this county
urged DIR. Mack to be . candidate; some of the
"committee" will please refresh their memory
upon this subject. But this much | may say
that it was a close and spirited contest between
the three candidates in this county, and fo
proof of this I need only refer to the vote o
the sterling democracy Of Mohecan township
Attheir primary meetings they cast for senate
one hundred and twenty-three votes, of which
DR.. Mack received 40, Bult41, Pratt AZ. I
