The wide AwHKos at washington.

Occasional writes to the Philadelphia
Press thus:
The last Washington sensation was the
parade of the Republican Wide Awakes to
rejoice over the triumphs of their party in
Pennsylvania. Their numbers took the
town by surprise, and their resolute bearing
and compact columns as well as the respc-
liability of those who participated with them
in the procession, with the knowledge that
they were armed to protect themselves,
probably prevented bloody tumut. The
clerks from the extreme South who witness
ed the array, and followed it through its
march, did not hesitate frequently to avow a
desire to attack it, and more than one loud
y asserted that it was an outrage TO allow
a aRepublican parade upon slave territory; { y
but when they were quietly informed that
the Wide Awakes not only had lanterns in
their hands, but revolvers in their pockets,
and while determined not to provoke an at
tack, were ready to resist at all hazards and
to the last extremity, no attempt was made
to interfere with them. The speech of Mr..
Kilgore, of Indians, who spoke for the Re-
publican National Committee, was bold,
frank, and conservative, and productive of
the happy results. When one of the stipen-
diaries Of the Administration called out TO
him from the vast crowd that he (Mr X J
and his party intended to steal their ne
groes, he replied aptly and at once, that
that was another of the misrepresentation
under which the Republican party had been
compelled to rest. ave do not want youl

1t is worthy of recollection, in connection
with the Kansas development of Douglas
participation in the Lecompton fraud, that
he was ready to advocate and support it in
the Senate, in the modified form of the
English swindle, las his most intimate
friends did do in the House. and was only
kept from it by the indignant protestations
Of the murdered Broderck, who threatened
to expose and denounce his porfdy, if he
thus abandoned his position. This, with
the fact that his vote was not needed tc
pass it through the Senate, while the re.
quiste votes of his warmest admirers in the
House were promptly given for it's strong
corroborative testimony of Douglas willing
ness to see that fraud carried out.

RepubI,cans--Now Rally.

Last Tuesday, the three great States Of
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana did a good
days work. They declared to the whole
world, that as for themselves, they had set
tied what is now and is hereafter to be their
course of action: They are and are to be
for FREE PRINCIPLEs-FREE HoMEs-and
for the encouragement of FREE AND INDIE
PENDENT INDUSTRY. This is glorious news
1t adds faith to the hope of every Republi.
can. 1t opens to them tho view of GER
tain and final triumph of their principles in

Still we propose now only to look at
small part of this "6eld," as comprised
within the limits of Sandusky county. Upl
now, and cast your eyes over it. 1t is al
ready white for the harvest. Send in the
reapers-enter in yourself-and gather the
sheaves. Whatever is worth doing at all,
is worth doing well.
The smoke of the State election has
cleared off; the whole ground has been
surveyed. The victorious hosts of freemen
have carefully cared for the dead and
wounded, and the forces are being marshall
cd for a more gallant AND desperate con-
fict. 4.
Republicans, right valliantly did you bear
yourselves in the engagement, but now
comes a contest to try your nerve, wherein
the encounter will be more desperately re-
sisted by the opponents of free institutions.
Are you ready for the trial of yourstrength
"Whatsoever your hands find to do, do
it with your might" In one week from
next Tuesday, the great National contest
between freedom and slavery is TO take
place. Be admonished then, and do what
ever you can Immediately and with your
might, that shall tend to strengthen the
columns Of the Republican army.
The Republican victories in New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine; just
followed by Indiana, Pennsylvania, and
Ohio, have thrown the ranks of our enemies
into confusion, but they arc again rallying,
and will make desperate attempt to regain
their lost position. Our strength has been
increased many thousands, and now we
stand an army that cannot be resisted, er.
cept through the fethargy Of our O,On SOL
diers.
Republicans of Sandusky county, once
more are you called on to stand forward in
Ethis contest. Let every one do the duty oI
a man. You have no business so import.
ant as that of depositing your ballot fol
| ABRAHAM LINCOLN and HANNIBAL HAML1N,
If you are able to go to the polls, 60
there and cast your ballot tho first thing
you do on the morning of the 9th of No
vember. Then see to your neighbor and
find that he too, neither forgets or negects
to do the same. If you have an invalid
friend who must be brought to the election
in a carriage, bring him there by all means
before noon.
Republicans of Rice, Riley, Scott, Modi-
son, Sandusky, Woodvile and Washington,
cannot you do little better than you did
in the canvas two weeks ago? We know
you can. Will you not try? Townsend,
Jackson, Green Greek and Ballvillc did
well. Jackson and Townsend moro than

They are the banner townships, and they
say they will give an increase vote for "Hon-

Let the work 60 right on. Every man
put shoulder to the wheel. Every man
stand at his post faithfully doing his duty
and victory will be on the side of freedom
ABE LINCOLN stands at the head of the
column. On then to victory.

Presidential EIection--A word 10 Judges

The returns of the Presidential election
are not opened and canvassed by the Clerks
of the Courts of Common Pleas, as is the
case with the returns of the October elec-
ton. The poll books are returned directly
to the Sheriff of the county, who carries
them to Columbus, and deposits them with
the Secretary of State. Such being the
fact, it is important that the Judges of the
election in the several wards and and town
ships, in the various counties Of Ohio, take
down the official count, and send it outside
of the poll book, to the county seat by the
Judge of the election who returns the poll
book of the same. This ought not to be
neglected.

The Public works.

We are glad to learn by the State Journ-
al, that Notwithstanding the the uufavcra-
bic exhibit of the receipts and expenditures
forthe first three quarters of the fiscal year,
the prospect is that there will be no defcien.
cy at the end Of the year. During the first
three quarters, the excess Of expenditures
over receipts was $s7,57l. From this de-
duct S24, 900, appropriated over and above
the revenues, and the excess is reduced 10
$53,57l. The excess of receipts over ex-
penditures during the fourth quarter, end
ing November 18th, will in all probability
not vary very much, so that tho books will
be balanced for the year The spring re-
pairs were very heavy, and during the sum
mer months the business is very light, as
compared with that of the fall months
when the grain crop moves forward to mar
ket.-Ledder.

The New York Herald which has beer
denouncng Lincoln as an ultra aboltionist
and prophsying all sorts of calamities in tho
event of his election, has suddenly hauled
off on the other tack. In its issue of the
goth inst. it says:
Itappears that "Old Abe" is a conserva
tive Republican-that he contemplates nc
war upon the constitutional rights of slavery
in the slave States-that his platform i,
the Chicago platform in good faith, and
that his general policy upon slavery will be
to conciiate the South into submission, in.
stead of exasperating her people into open
rebellion. His cabinet, too will be made
up of northern and southern men.

during speech at Terre Haute, Indiana
on the Sth of October, he made use of the
following language;

Presidential Election, Tues
day, November 9th.
Lincoln and the Homestead e. Bill I!

AS an Offset to the opposition Of the De-
mocracy to the principle of the homestead
measure, scme of the Douglas organs state
that Mr.. Lincoln did not vote for tho meas
ure while in Congress. Now, it will appear
by reference to the Journals Of Congress,
that Mr.. Lincoln voted directly in favor o
the principle of Homestead bill. Mr.
McClelland offered the following resolution
RESOLVED, That the present traffic in the
public lands should cease, and that they
should be disposed Of to occupants and cul
tivators, on proper conditions, at such prices
as will merely indemnify the cost of theil
purchase, management and sale.
A motion was carried TO lay the resolu.
ton on tho table, Mr.. Lincoln voting against
the motion, as he was in favor Of giving the
public lands to actual settlers, and not To
monopolized speculation.
This / believe, was the first movement
by Congress towards Homestead bill, a
measure which now forms part of the Re
publican platform.

Every well informed friend of Stephen
A. Douglas is willing to acknowledge that
he has no prospect of success at the coming
election, either before the people or in the
House of Representatives. Either Abra-
ham Lincoln will be elected by the people,
or John C. Breckinridge or Joe Lane will
be elected by the House or Senate. You
must either make choice between these
three or throw your votes away for Stephen
A. Douglas. Every vote you cast for
Douglas is a vote indirectly for John G.
Breckinridge the only man whom your
votes can benefit.
