The Duty of Republicans.

Too often members of the Republican
party-many of whom look only at the
party as it affects National issues-are un-
mindful of the importance. of the State
election, and hence neglect to s'stir up
their neighbors. Such apathy at this
present election will ruin the prospects of
the Republican party for the next Presi-
dental campaign. Of course there is no
hope for the Republican nominee if Ohio
proves recreant, for well may the white
men be given up as lost, if the Buckeye
State falters and falls before the Slavery
power. But more than this. The com
ing State election bears directly upon Ma
tional politics and National issues. The
Legislature of the coming winter will have
the selection of a successor, in. the United
States Senate, to Mr.. Pugb, who now mis-
represents Ohio. Let the Republicans re-.
member that tie present apportionment of
members of the Legislature was made by
the nigger Democracy for the especial pur-
pose Of securing TO their party, this ses-
sion, the 'foats," so as to render certain
the return of a Sla-ery Senator. Thank
fortune and the wickedness of Democra-
cy-since that shamesless superintendent
was made political tornado has swept
Locofocism from Ohio, and has turned over
to Republicanisln many of the then Dem
ocratic counties to which these ''fioats"
were then assigned. If Republicans are
wide awake at the coming election, the
very trickery by which the Democracy
hoped TO secure United States Senator
will result in the election of Republican
Senator. o. 'l1e 80
Again, the present State election is. Of
National importance inasmuch as the Mig
ger Democracy has SO proclaimed it to be.
In the anxiety of the Democracy to carry
Ohio, knowing how such victory will af.
feet the Presidential struggle, they have
even imported Mr.. Douglas and planted
him on the stump through the State. But
this very mission of the Little Giant, if
improvedby the Republicans, will
be to their advantage. 1t has proved the
hollowness of the Administration wing of
the Democracy, for that wing has thor
oughly coalesced with the Douglas wing.
The Administration papers have published
The speeches or Judge Ranny, who is but
The echo of Douglas; they have COM
mended these speeches, the main staple of
which is laudation of Squatter Sovereign
", and they have challenged the Republi-
an papers to publish the same, even ten
leriug the type to the Republican prints.
1t amounts then, to just this, that if Judge
Ranny is elected the State can bepositive-
y set down for the Niger Democracy,
md that Democracy-whether of the
Buchanan jet black or of the Douglas mo
asses color, is all the same--it is unit
md is Democracy that will sacrifice ev-
'ry other interest to that of raising and
elling negroes Cleveland Herald

Deseryedly Said!

The Cincinnati Commercial does no
more than justice to the Republican caudi-
date in the following paragraph:
The Hon. William Dennison, Jr., has
won largely upon the regard of the people
of Ohio by his canvass Of the State. He
has spoken with such eandor and manli-
ness, and with such ability too, that he has
made an enviable reputation and largely
increased his popularity. He will un-
doubtedly be the next Governor of Ohio,
and we are glad to see his frank utterances
of his opinions.

JUDGE RANNEY DRops THE SUBJEcT.-
Monday evening Hon, David Tod and
Judge Ranney addressed the people at
Youngstown, in the county where Judge
Ranney made bis "seathing and blistering'
speech against the Fugitive Slave Act in
1850. The Mahoning Register says:
Judge Ranney then made a speech of
perhaps twenty minutes length. He vain
iy endeavored to show that the Democrat
party was in no way responsible, for,
or identified with the extension or perpetua-
ton of slavery; and lauded popular SOW
ereignty as the great panacea for settling
the vexed question which was now arraying
one section ofthe United against the.other.
He admitted that his own views upon the
slavery question had become somewhat
modified in late years, but made no allusion
to the Hoffman letter,in ls4s, or-the Can
field indignation meeting 1850. II, was
possible he had a premonition that the less
said upon these matters the better, He
finally excused himself from further speak
ing on the score of fatigue, and sat down.
Whereupon the somewhat thinned audi
ence summarily adjourned. z'5f SsiE-I

HOW il Strikes Them.

The Louisville Courier declares that
the answers given by Judge Ranney to Mr..
Dennison's questions disclose Sentiments
not a whit better than Sewardism." The
Courier publishes the questions and an
swers and remarks-We bespeak for them
an attentive reading, so that all may see
what bogus principles are enunciated in
Ohio, in the sacred name of Democracy"

The County Fair.

county, and in every respect we believe
was an Improvements upon last years Fair.
On the afternoon of Thursday, the
Wooster Fire Company No. 3, and the
Kilbuek Company No l, Of Millersburg,
had a trial of the power of their respective
Engines, and the skill of those working
them. The prize was a silver cup, and
though awarded by the judges to, the
Wooster Company, we have heard but one
opinion expressed by those Witnessed
the contest, and Chat was, that it'should
have been given to the Millersburg Com

threw 1ss feet and yet in spite of this,
and against the Judgment of hundreds of
persons present, the award was made to
the Wooster company. There was a good
deal of hard feeling created by this decis-.
ion, and not a little talk about "bribery
and corruption" - - -

SPANISH TRooPs FOR RoNE.-The
Queen of Spain has made a treaty by which
she agrees to send an army to Rome when
ever il is wanted. - ~
For ten years the Pope's throne has
been upheld by foreign baycnets. To en-
able him to sleep quietly in his bed, he
has had Swiss sentinels pacing before his
palace, French cannon bristling from the
ramparts of Saint Angelo, aud Austrian
Hussars securing theplains ofthe Somagna.
When the Austrians were matched out, the
people of Romagua arose with arms in
their hands, and the cry Of Independence in
their mouths. If the French should leave,
the streets Of Rome would echo with the,

Sunday Work.

We wish some men of the opposite po-

acquainted with, could spend a ew.Sab-
baths in Millersbnrg, prior to an election.
1t would open their eyes as to the manner
in which the Scriptural injunction, Gre
member the Sabbath day and keeplit ho-

members Of their party in this town. They
would find out where and when The secret
meetings, called to 'slay the ropes" dictate
who should be candidates, and how the
campaign was TO be carried on, are held
here. How would they feel, if, instead of
being asked by some of these men to at
tend with them religious services at one of
cur churches, they were invited into the
back room of a whiskey selling establish
ment, to make arrangements for the coming
election, or how would they care to spend
the Sabbath in traversing the county, dis
tributing tickets, handbills, urging out vo-
ters, &c. We can well imagine how your
SHARPs, RocKwELLs, PATTERsoNs, FIN-
LEYs, BAUGHMANs and host of Others in
this county, belonging to the Democratic
party would feel on having such a PROPOSE
ton made TO them, but if they do not |

the work of their partyis laid out, they do
