The gazette and Democrat. (Lancaster, Ohio) 1860-1860, 1860-10-04
We insert below the circular Of Mr.. Ur

We insert below the circular Of Mr.. Up
FIELD to the Democrats Of old Fairfield" "
One statement therein demands our no.
tice. He says: "Since | have taken this
stand l have been approached by many
different political interests, &C." To this
we have only to say that Mr.. U. cannot
refer to the Republican organization, as
lie has not been approached by any mem'
Der of the party authorized to speak for it.
Ifany Democrats are by Mr.. Upfeld's cir
cular. or by any other means, convinced
that Mr.. Miller should not be elected Sher-
if of this county. to them we would say,
that the only way to secure his defeat is
to vote for Wisemap:
"On Friday, the 7;h inst, l announced
10 you my name IA a candidate for Sheriff,
giving you the cause for doing so, and
concluded by guarding you against false
charges which would be made against me.
On the following Thursday, the 18th, the
Eagle was silent as to my position. But
afterwards being informed that ! had
sent three thousand of my circulars to
the Democracy Of Old Fairfield. and that
the truth therein was understood tina:
Miller was nominated by Republican
Know Nothing votes, the Eagle of Thurs
day, Goth, noticed my position, to which
replied on Saturday evening last at the
Court House. Tie Eagle does not refer
to the statements of my circular in any
one instance, ,ior the best reason known that
they could not be refuted. My position
is charged with the motive of getting
votes for the Republican candidate. This
is rot so, for the reason that have the
conf ience that ths Democracy will elect
me over the Republican candidate, and
Miller. the Know Nothing candidate; de-
pending rs do. upon their powers OF dis
elimination. The Eagle says my circu.
lar was published in the Gazette with com
ments. Yes, these comments which charges
Miller with voting for Chase in 1855
and also in 1851, and also of having
pledged the Deputyship to O. H. Perry,
who stands as defaulter as Sheriff Of
this county. and whose bail are now sued
and suffering in consequence thereof
And as the Eagle does not contradict
these comments. we suppose them to be
true. In this how the E'gle shows the
dog III the mauger in refusing to publish
for me. The Eagle speaks of my " con
ssquential John Bull arrogance and to
my being a candidate for Senator and
member Of the Constitutional Convention
not receiving support enough either time
to fully establish the tact that / was a
candidate. .,..
This is done to deceive the public;
coupled as it is with the contemplate
Know Nothingism Of the senior editor.
That John NJ. Council. the senior editor
ol the Eagle is a Republican at heart his
friends, do not pretend 10 deny; and that
he is a Know Nothing in principle is evi.
dent, and would, if he had the courage to
say so, make every foreigner serve his 81
years before lie would thin voto. How

support Miller. But how unnatural it is
that foreigners can support either, espe
cially that class of foreigners against
whom the bitterness ofthe Know Nothing
party spent its force. Can it be that ii
this contest single foreigner who is no
entirely given over to the influence Of tn,
liquor element SO powerful. can vote 70
Miller, member Of the dark lantern par
ty; and ifhe is so given over, as do no
deal IN the article, have no expectation
Of his support. I read to the meeting
Saturday evening the charge in the Dec
d. larption of Independence against tn
King Of England for preventing emigra
ton to this country, which was one oil tn
indictments against the mother countr
as cause for separation. Against whic
and all otter,l legal institutions of the cour
try from that time to this, inviting fol
eigners to come. not merely as hewers
wood and drawers of water-not merel
to build the turnpikes, the canals and ra
roads, but to come that they may hav
