"a Model MAN,,


The Sandusky Register, one of the bitterest
Of the bitter Republican papers published in
the Western Reserve--as ultra as the most
ultra abohtionist could desire-greets the
nomination of SAMUEL CRAIGHEAD, ESQ.,, in
the following language:
'Mr Craighead is represented as a model
man, and should and must be elected over his
opponent 1t is a shame and disgrace ~ Ohio
to have Vallandigham in the Congressional
delegation"
A welcome such as this from such paper
is well calculated to create the impression that
the man thus greeted entertains opinions on
political matters which meets with the appro
baton of the editor of the paper. Is it pos
sible that the Republican nominee for Congress
in this District entertains views and senti
ments which find response among the Re
serve abolitionists-thathe he advocates doctrines
which the followers of GIDDNGs endorse, and
causes them to regard him as a "model man 2
If he does not, why are they so anxious fol
his election2 If there is not some sympathy
between him and them, why do they declare
that he "must be electedY
We can welH understand their hatred for
the. ..Democratics candidate. Mr.. VALLASDIG
HAM, during his term of service, has given
them sufficient cause for dsliking him. TIC
be true to the Union and the Constitution tC
favor the enforcement of the laws of the land
to stand up for the rights of ALL sections o.
the country as our Representative has, are
sufficient reasons to make him "a shame and
disgrace" in the opinion of the Reserve Aboli
tionists. Their abuse, however, is evidence
to the conservative people of this District, that
Mr.. VALLANDrGHAM has performed his duty as
he should while their praise, on the Other
hand, would be but proof that he had forsaker
the true path of conservative man.
We thank the! Register for its unintentona
evidence of the conservatism of our candi
date Such articles on the part of the Re
serve Republi can press will be more powerful
in favor of our candidate among the conserva
tive voters of the Sd District, than were it t.
furnish column after column Of such endorse
ments as it bestows upon Mr. CRAIGHEAD
Let the people of this District remember the
fact that the Abolition press of the Reserve
oppose the election of the Democrotic candi
date, while at the same time they urge tn,
election fthe Republican nominee.
A Nomination 'sfit tO be made.'
Decidedly the best nomination made by thl
Republican county Convention on last Satur
day, was that of HESRY s. FOWLER, Esq, 70
