The DelmOc, attic Senatorial Com
Yea ton,
AT Galipolis, on Saturday last, conferred
upon Melg gs County the honor Of furnish
ing the nominee.
We have not received the proceedings,
but understand there were three candidates
before the Convention: Mr.. Gushing, of
Gallla; and Messrs. Earheart and Carleton,
of Meigs. Gall,a County, we are informed,
voted for Mr.. Cushing; Vin'on County,
for Mr. Earhart, and Lawrence and Meigs
for our (ellow-townsman, Thomas Carle-
ton. Esq which secured his nomination.
If Mr.. Carleton should be as success
full before the people AS he was in the Con-
veniion, we shall take great pleasure III
cheering him in his solitude in Columbus
this winter; for from present Indications,
.hele will scarcely be Democrats enough

The Te.scssers' RGlsti1slfc,
For Meigs County, will commence its s's-
sion at the Pomeroy Academy, on next
Monday at O'Clock P. NJ, and continne
~ session for four or five days. These
Institutes are most efficient means Of i'm
provement to teachers, and through them
means of great value to the cause of Ed
ucaLion.
There will be popular lectures On Edu-
cational subjects two or three evenings Of
the week. The daily sessions OF the In
stitute will also be open to all who choose
to enjoy the pleasure and advantages
always afforded by these meetings, not
0 lly to teachers but to all friends of Ell;
cation. 1t is TO be hoped that the citizens
Of Pomeroy and vicinity will second this
effort on the part of their teachers. by at
tending these meetings, by extending a
hospitable welcome to teachers from the
County, and BY every others means which
they can use to render the meetings mu-
tually interesting and beneficial. -,
EVMr. H. L. Slbley places the Hon.
Chairman of the Dem. Central Com. of
Meigs County, in something Of dilemma
by his communication in another column.
We do not suppose that Mr.. Bates had
ever examined the "fugitive slave law"
plank in the Democratic platform, and re-
voting at the monstrous provisions Of the
iniqutous enactment, could not believe
that his party had pledged themselves to
its eternal perpetuation. And hence his
earnest denial. .f
We know~Mr. Bates can have no sym
pathy with the requirements Of that law,
and would, with great reluctance, if at all,
join in with gang Of blood hounds and
slave catchers to run down woman who
WAS fleeing with strained nerve anl palpi-
taLing heart from the abhorred clutches of
o brutal soul driver. AT least we think
so. If, however, we wrong Mr. Bates in
this, our columns are open, and he may
have the ampiest opportunity to Sc, him
self right. Mr.. Bates, we believe, is an
Englishman, and we know of no cltizenof
English birth who has SO far apostatized
from the love Of freedom inherent in the
hearts Of his countrymen, as 10 adopt the
despotlc ideas of the upholders of slavery.
And, in charity therefor, we prefer to be-
lieve that Mr.. Bates has found his way
into The Democratic party. though mis-
apprehension Of its real position. Ever
since the days of Cowper. and even long
before his time, it has been the boast of
that country, that
"Siaves cannot breathe in England
They touch her empire and their
Shackels fali.'' - -. -.sys, .
But, as before stated, if Mr.. Bates. is an
exception among his eountrymen, and
really has an instinct for slave hunsing,
we will cheerfully give him the use Of our
~.
