The New CENT PoIsoSous.-Several in
stances have lately occurred in different
parts Of the country, says an exchange,
where children have died from the effects
of poison taken into the system by swal-
lowing the new nickel cent. As this coin
is small and easily swallowed there is great
danger in allowing young children to have
them in their possession. The metal
which composes it has had fatal effect,
and would seem to be poisonous.

Dayton daily empire. [volume] (Dayton [Ohio]) 1850-1865, 1859-09-27


r2- At a late meeting of Republican Alb
olitionists, at Alliance, o., the following,
among other resolutions, were adopted
Resolved, That it is not only the duty
but the interest of the Republican party in
this State to do all in its power to extend to
colored citizens the elective franchise and
we do most earnestly call upon that party to
make this subject part of their State pol
icy,
Resolved, That should the Republicans
give the cOlored people of Ohio the elective
franchise, it would thereby secure to itself a
permanent and unchanging majority to this
State, which would always insure it the us,
tendency"
The Cincinnati Enquirer replies, that the
Republican party is coming to that as fast
as they dare. The great obstacle just now
is the repuguance felt by Southern Ohio to
the proposed policy. As one Of the sober,
lin saints said, "tbe Republicans in the

Importance of this Election.


The coming election is the most impor-
tant one that has been held in Ohio for many
years. Beside the choice of an T. s. SonR'
tor, the State is to be re, divided into Con-
gressional and Legislative districts the en-
tire treasury system Of the State is to be re
tanned or abandoned, and the interest laws
are to be re-modeled 50 that they will have
some effectiveness, or are to remain a dead
letter on the statute book. At this time
especially, il is the imperative duty of every
Democrat TO exert himself to the utmost to
secure the triumph of the party. 1t is our
privilege as a Republican people, to say who
shall be our rulers; and base aod forgetful
of the rights, which he as freeman en-
.iOys--forgetful Of the rights, to secure which,
blood and treasure were expended, and un--
told hardships endIred-is the man who,
without an effort suffers the party whose
principles he has espoused to be defeated
IN the contest. 1t has always been our opn-
ion that the citizen who will voluntarily
stay away from the polls on the day of elec.
ton, is not worthy the right of suffrage, and
If that is true in ordinary cases, how CEN
surable is the man who will stand by and
see his party 60 by the board in the present
crisis.
That the Democracy have majority in
this county, there is not shadow of doubt
and If every man will do his duty, we will
rout the Republicans horse, foot, and dra.
goon. This year we have more than our Gus
tomary strength. Certain unpopular doc
trines which the Opposition have adopted
into their political creed, and made issues
before the people, give us all immense ad-
vantage. Unlawful practices, which ten or
twelve years ago would brand with iufamy
and disgrace in this community, any man
who would engage in them, are insisted up
on with pertinacity absolutely astonishing.
Our foreign citizens are reviled and de-
nounced, and then called upon to vote for
their prosecutors. The Independent Treas.
ury Law, under which not dollar of the
peoples money has been lost, is sought to be
repealed, and the old system, under which
nearly million was scattered to the four
winds, is sought to be re-inauguratei by a
set OF swlndling bankers, at the head of
whom stands tie Republican candidate for
Governor A man, who, beside other dis
honest acts, advised John c. Breslin to de.
poslt S9l,O 900 in two banks in Cincinnati,
which be knew to be utterly worthless, and
subsequently, abstraoted $4,000 from the
State Treasury, in defiance of the Constitu-
tion and five statutes; whose political faith if
put in practice will sooner or later, lead to a
dissolution of the Union, is proposed as U.
s. Senator
In this emergency, when so much is Mt
stake, let there be regular Democratic Or
ganization throughout the whole county, in
every township and ward, let every member
Of the party awake to the Importance Of the
election, and use his utmost endeayors to
carry the whole't ticket.
