On the first page Of our paper we print
the excellent and manly speech Of our wor-
thy Congressman, Hon. JoHN CAREY, in the
House of Representatives, on the 9th April
last. Mr.. G. speaks of labor, of agricul-
turc, as honorable; and would present it to
the country in such light that it might
more generally be adopted as the true channel
to success in life. The extravaganza in Of
fetal stations, and the reckless waste of tho
public treasure, by the system of slavery,
he speaks of as freeman, and as his con-
stituents and his country men would have
him talk. Such language and thoughts as
were uttered by Mr.. c., we're sentimens the
friends Of slavery were unused to hear; (;
nevertheless he spoke them boldly. JOHN
CARET isa true representative man. He is
man of the people, ard bis sole aim and
desire has been and still is, to do, and seek
to have done, that which shall be of lasting
good and benefit for the masses of the
people. A laborer himself, he seeks to
have labor, in all its departments, ackuOwl-
edged and respected. The farmer, the me-
chanic, the artisan, he presents as the men
who, more than any other class, are directly
interested in the perpetuty and stability of
free government; under which the white
laboring man may become honored and re-
spected-not degraded by contact with
slavery.
Wehope this speech will beread and right
ly considered by every voter in our county.
Such men as JOHN CAREY should be sus-
tanned. Such man as JOHN CAREY should
represent the IXth Congressional District at
the Federal Capital. We are constitu-
ency composed of laborers, mechanics, far
mers; and the honest man whom our op-
ponents term ga mudsil," is the proper man
to be our representative.
Rally, then, to his support, and let him
be returned to tho place in the House of
Representatives, which he has so honorably
filed and whose duties he has so faithfully
performed.
When Mr.. CAREY made this speech he
would not consent to reelection, and he
so declares. But his constituents Of the
IXth district thought they could not conform
to such an expression. At the Congress
sional Convention he was unanimously and
by acclamation re.nominated, and as this
expression of feeling came from the people,
he could not decline. We believe that Mr.
Carey will be reelected. Let every labor
ing man honor the Representative who hon
ors laboring man.

woodviIIe uoe,lnr.

The Republicans Of this stownship though
few in number are Of the right spirit and
pluck, knowing that tbcr principles are tho
same as were asserted and maintained by
the fathers Of the Republic, Washington,
Madison, Jefferson and others. A few days
since they gave notice that they would have
speaking by three or four persons, and that
they would also raise a liberty pole TO bear
aloft the flag of their faith and principles.
The meeting was held on Wednesday,
goth. About rs Of the Republicans of
Fremont and about the same number from
Perysburg were in attendance. The whole
number present we're not less than from
800 to 1000. JOHN @. LEE, of Tiffin;
Mr.. HENNIe, German from Toledo, and
H. EvERETT, of Fremont spoke, and the
speeches Of each of them were received
with much satisfaction and applause.
The Fremont Band accompanied the del
egation from this place, and discoursed most
eloquent music at the principal points along
the road and at Woodville.
The first attempt of the pole raising was
not successful, owing to the breaking ofone
of the sheer poles. After procuring a new
one, the pole, magnificent ash of about
$50 feet long, was erected, and the stars
and stripes waved proudly from its top.
After the pole was set up LEeRAND MAR
WIN, Esq, of Buffalo, made capital speech.
We feel convinced that the speeches of
Wednesday in Woodville will be as good
seed sown in good ground which will bear
good Republican increase at the election
this fall. The people of that portion of our
county have not had the privilege before in
listening to so full a presentation of the
platform of Republican truths, and many
who had been grossly deceived by the sham
Democratic party, were forced to look upon
Republican principles with more favor.
The Republicans appointed the delegates
from their township to the County Conven-
tion, which will meet at Fremont to-mor-
row. Their names are s. G. Baker, Geo.
Brim, and A. E. Wood.
The Republican vote in Woodville town
ship will receive largo increase over its
former number. Its leaders there are wide
awake, active and determined. Such men
and their principles must succeed.

The Republican meeting held at the Wig
wan on the 22d inst, to listen to a speech
from Hon. John Carey, was largely attend
ed. Mr.. G. spoke about. an hour and a
quarter, during which time he maintained
the wrapt attention of the audience. He
reviewed, in an able manner, the position of
the several political parties on the various
questions at issue between them; spoke of
the corruptions of the Administration, and
the means used 10 effect the passage through
Congress of odious measures; urged upon
his hearers the importance of selecting hon
est men to fill the various Offices, and to be
ever watchful of the rights and liberties of
the people, and to beware of designing and
office-seeking demagogues, let them come
from whatever party they may. The speech
gave universal satisfaction TO the Republi-
cans, and, so far as we have learned, to the
Democrats who heard him. All were con-
vinced that they were listening to an hon
est man, the "noblest work OF God" Let
those, who care more for the interest, the
prosperity, the honor of the country than
they do for party, sec that Mr.. Carey is re-
turned to Congress by an increased major
ity. He deserves your confidence and your
votes,

scott and Madison rTectIng.

On the afternoon of Saturday, Aug. 25th,
we had the satisfaction of being present at
the gathering of the two townships, in the
sugar grove of Daniel Shively in Scott
township, From 25o to 800 people assem-
bled. A fine pole was erected by the road
side from which waved the stars and stripes,
saluted by the anvil chorus. Daniel Baker,
Esq, was chosen chairman of the meeting,
and introduced H. w. WMsLow, Esq, of
Bellevue, who in plain and forcible man
ner set forth the principles of the Republi-
can platform, and The positions maintained
by the Republican leaders. He reviewed
Mr.. Douglas position, and the equivocal and
non-committal manner in which be has put
himself before the people; also the fact
that he is running on the same ticket with
H. V. johnson for Vice President who is an
out and out slave code man.
Mr.. Winslow spoke Of our present worthy
Congressman, Hon. JOHN CAREY, urging
the propriety of rallying the whole people
to his support. Mr. W. spoke about an
hour and three-quarters, when the Chair
man introduced H. EVERETT, who spoke for
about 40 minutes, to the acceptance and
qualification of the large audience.
1t was one of the most pleasant and in
teresting gatherings we have been present
at during the present campaign.
After the speaking had closed, the dele
gates from Scott township to the County
Convention were appointed, and the meet
ing adjourned with nine rousing cheers and
firing of the anvil. Scott township will in
crease her Republican vote next fall.

reference (though VIC had mover known it)
and the Kansas Nebraska bill was then in.
troduced and passed.
He then went into what he called his
tory Of Kansas affairs; starting with the
statement that Massachusetts,, who had not
given Democratic vote for forty years. got
up an emigrant aid society, and they en-
listed all sorts of Plug Uglics and armed
them with Shapes rifles, and sent them to
Kansas to fight somebody, he did not say
who, for he said they were first on the
ground.
The Southern men armed to retaliate,
but the Free State men we're the aggressors.
He could tell about tho aggressions Of
Montgomery, Lane, Brown, &C., but had
nothing to say about the murder in cold
blood and unarmed, Of Dow, Barber, Phil
lips, Brown, and host of others; or of the
Missouri invasion at the first election, when
free state men we're driven from the polls
and thus bogus Legislature elected. He
told us that free state men refused to vote
for members of Constitutional Conven.
ton, but did not tell us that the reason was
that the whole thing was bogus and there
fore void He then went on to tell us
about Mr.. Douglas killing the Lecomptor
bill after it had been passed by the Repub
licans in the House.
This, certainly, was news to us, but not
withstanding he was corrected, he reiterated
the statement. He also talked about the
Republicans being responsible for the FREQ
State Constitution not passing the Senate
at the late session, but how, he failed t
show us. He forgot to tell us that the Re
publican House passed the bill.
Altogether it was one of the most one
sided and unfair showing of tho matter
treated upon that have ever heard, ant
yet there we're some stupid enough to ap
plaud such statements.
The free state men were always wrong
and yet he claimed to be one of them.

The Douglas portion of the Democratic
party, Of Sandusky county, met at the
Court House in Fremont on Saturday last
and nominated their ticket. Probate Judge
John Bell; Clerk, James N. Smith; Com
missioner, Joseph R. Clark; In6rmary Di-
rector, James Parks. The first three on
the ticket are the present incumbents.-
When they came to Infrmary Director
they repudiated Mr.. Nudge, the present
Director, and put Mr.. Parks in his place.
What is it that Mr.. NJ. had done that the
Democracy could not support him for re-
elections Mr. Parks can now draw on the
money which should have been paid to the
Riley township School Fund, for the pur-
pose Of securing his election. Let the Ri
ley voters remember this act Of Mr.. Parks.
II they wish TO have their school fund re-
tanned by him, it is their privilege.

Can any one tell why the people Of a
Territory arc not as capable TO determine
whether they will not have slavery as one
of their domestic institutions as the people
Of State-Richland Democrat.
Because Douglas says:
Slaves are regarded AS PROPERTY,
and placed on an EQUAL FOOTING
with all other property. Hence the owner
Of slaves, the same as any other species Of
property, HAS A RIGHT TO REMOVE
TO ANY TERRITORY AND CARRY
HIS PROPERTY WITH HIM."
II that be true, the people are robbed Of
all power over the subject of slavery, for
they cannot interfere with private property.

What has become Of this old cry Of the
nigger Democracy Only year or two
ago the cry of disunion was their stock in
trade. Every poor lying fool Of an editor,
when his starvliug brains were exhausted,
could still shout "disuDion," The Republi-
cans we're "disunionists," whatever else they
were not. They did not indeed venture to
dissolve tho Union lhemselves--nobody
pretended that; but if they kept on voting
the "Black Republican" ticket, why then
somebody else down South was going to
dissolve it. Tho more the Republican
party increased, and the more determindly
they kept voting against the Democracy,
the more sure il was that these terrible
Southerners would dissolve the Union,
therefore, 10 what "therefore" was that
therefore the Republicans were "disun-
ionists." This argument was meaner than
sheep stealing. A man who would use it,
would steal the brass nails from his fathers
coffin. But it was tho favorite argument
of Democratic editors, repeated ad naaseuD'.
Now, however, even that howl has given
out The truth is sham Democracy is on
its last legs. 1t has no longer strength to
curse its enemies, and when its faculty for
cursing departs, there remains little more
except to close its eyes, straighten its limbs
and hurry it under ground. Through all
the free States it is begging for help most
piteously. Like the old maid who prayed
for husband, it will take "anybody God
sends" Formerly, if Democracy hated
anybody worse than a Republican, it was a
Knownothing. Now in its extremity it is
hand and glove with Knownothings in New
Jersey and New York, and even puts Office
bearers in this Knownothing Church on its
electoral ticket in the latter State. Power
ty makes strange bed fellows indeed. But
saltpeter can't save the rotten party that
still has to hide its corruptions under the
name of Democracy. The ides of Novem-
Der will consign it to dishonored grave.

Congressional Convention.

The Convention which met at Upper
Sandusky on last Wednesday nominated
Warren p. Noble as the candidate for Con-
gress 10 this District. 1t is unnecessary to
say where he resides. He is not of Craw-
ford county, and our readers can swear that
he is from Seneca, as the whole District
belongs to those two counties in fee simple.
We shall say more next week.-Kenton
Democrat.
"Jest so, Squire, jest So" and after being
so shabbily treated, it remains to be seen
whether you and Others are willing to have
it rubbed in. But we guess you'll all sub
NIT, as Douglas men display very little in
dependence ofcharacter. You must knuckle
down, or be driven from the party.

County Convention.

We hope all Republicans will bear in
mind the County Convention to be held at
the Wigwam tomorrow, Sept. lst at 10
o'clock in the forenoon. While the Repub-
licans Of this township seem to be inactive,
in other townships of the county, they are
thoroughly reused, and are hard at work,
and the result of their labors is manifest by
their fruits. The officers to be nominated
are Probate Judge, Clerk, Commissioner,
and In6rmary Director.
There will be speeches at the Wigwam
during The day. All persons opposed to
the present Court House clique, and favor
able to the election Of Lincoln and Hamlin
and the Republican nominees are invited to
participate in the meeting.

evening last Some five or six hundred

"wELL, AND WHAT rHEN9

"Suppose that negro slavery should be
abolished, and $1,000 oO0Oofa degraded and
inferior race were to be turned loose upon
the north-what then Our jails and aims
houses would be filed to overhowing, out
RACES too monstrous to be named would be
of daily occurrence. Is this the political
millennium the fanatics would usher in -
Had we not better let 'well enough alone?"I
"Young Republican Wide-Awakes should
be more respectful in addressing their COL
ored political brethren, especially as their
party leaders are continually teaching tie
equality Of the races"
Our readers will see at a glance that the
first paragraph was written by that very
honest and conscientious man who needed
SIS 1000 to induce him to aid in betraying
Kansas into the hands of the slave holders,
and the latter one by the milk and water
(skimmed milk at that editor of the Dem
ocrat. The impression calculated to be
conveyed by these worthless, land by the
way why do they not consolidate their pa
pers, and dub the thing The Grand Hum
bugD is that the Republican party is in fa-
vor of freeing the slaves in the South, and
turning them loose upon the North and
giving them equal rights and privileges
with the whites. The very opposite of this
is the object of the Republican party, and
this precious brace of humbug Douglasites
know itl The principal mission of the Re-
publican party is to keep these 100000
slaves just where they are, and thus pre-
vent the free States and free Territories
from being overrun and cursed by these
Southern barbarians. And the fact that
the Republicans have had control Of
nearly every free State for the last five or
six years, and that no member of the Re-
publican partyin any of them has yet mo-
we'd to enlarge the privileges of the free me-
groes, is sufficient refutation of the charge
that the Republican ''leaders are continu-
ally teaching the equality of the races"
But how is it with these vilainous SLAM
derersl They both support man for
President who tore down the barrier which
prevented these slaves from overruning our
free territories, and whose principal boast
now is that by that means he has given to
the South and to Slavery territory enough
to make five slave States as large as New
York which otherwise would have remained
free but for his "great principle" of Squatter
Sovereignty AS to the remainder of the
free territories and free States he doesn't
care whether slavery is voted up or voted
down." Nice men are these 10 be misrep-
resentiDg the Republican party. And a
nice candidate are they supporting.
