The LabOrinE MANS Friend.

What ever may be the position of the
Democratic party, Republicans believe that
labor is honorable and should be rewarded.
They believe that the Territories are of
right free and should be kept free for the
benefit of laboring men.
This is the position of Hon. JOHN CA
REY. He has done as much to build up
the solid interests of this country, as any
man in it. While Mr.. Noble has been sit
ting costly in his Office, pouring over his
books, trying to get his client out of some
bad scrape by some technicality of law,
Judge Carey has been in the field, plowing
the soil, building fences, grazing cattle and
raising wheat, corn and potatoes.
Besides, Mr.. Noble believes with Douglas
that slavery can go into all the territories
and he "dont care lOhethsr slavery is 20.

Pnrh on the Germnns.

Geo. E. Pugh, the only U. S. Senator
who supports Stephen A. Douglas, made a
pole-raising speech at Cincinnati few days
since, in which he made use of the follow
ing language, highly abusive and deroga-
tory of the Germans. The reason that he
did it is that the Germans of Cincinnati
are mostly on the side of Republicanism
and freedom. Let the Germans of thi:
section make note of the language. Mr.
Pugh said:
"They call the Bell men Know Nothings

Marriage Ex,raordinnrr.

Married, by the Rev. Doctors Hunt, Gag

the 18th day, Of August, 1860, after a
brief courtship, Mr. Douglas Democracy to
Miss Bell Knownothing, all of the State Of
New York.
For years these interesting individuals
hated each other with great intensity; SO
much SO that whenever the bride met the
groom on the streets of Baltimore, Phila-
delphia, New York, Louisville, orelsewhere,
she invariably "pitChed in" and tried to
scratch his eyes out, and on several occa-
sions made the blood run freely.
But Douglas wanted votes, and this lady
had a few. The lady was ambitious to
have Douglas Irish and German servants
and these mutual wants set the one to WOO
ing and the other to sighing. They fell in
love, aud the nuptials are over. So now
this Native American commands her old
enemies, and they must serve. Happy
condition. Such is the easy method by
which Democratic slaves are sold. What q

Half 60 slavery.
How strange Il is, that this simplest Of
all guises and pretexts ever put forth by a
tricky politician, should continue to deceive
and delude honest democrats, who in their
hearts favor freedom. On the 23d Of Oc-
tober, ls49, in a speech delivered at Spring
field, Illinois, Judge Douglas, speaking Of
New Mexico, said;
"By the universal acknowledgment Of all
intelligent men, the whole country New

in force and must forever remain valid un-
der the treaty of peace according to the

Supreme Court Of the United States until
repealed by competent authority. as a
question of policy, therefore, on the part
of those Uho desired to prevent the erten-
sion of Slavery, non-interference sOGs the

pose from the above quoted speech o.
Douglas that New Mexico was tolerably
free in 1910. Free by the acknowledg

"Gixes mn the s,ate.,,


Under the above heading the Saudusky
Democrat of last week makes the following
statement, which is great untruth, and
is only published to deceive people in this
section.
The Democrat says:
'In leading article, the N. Y. Post,
(Rcpublican all through thus despairingly
presents the condition of the Republican
enthusiasm we may as we'll let it be
known far and wide, that New York is lost
to the Republican cause And in the
same article it says: Neither Seward nor
his friends, nor all their speeches and en-
treaties, will avail to make the people wake
up from the apathy which now pervades
the State This from the Post which is
not a giving up sheet, speaks Significantly
of the low fortunes of the Lincoln cause in
the Empire State.
The N. Y. Post, one of the strong Re-
publican papers which comes to our table
daily, has made careful and elaborate cal
culation of the vote of the State by coun-
ties, and that estimate gives the State of
New York to Lincoln and Hamlin by 49,
700 majority.
The N. Y. Tribune, by look through
the State by counties, puts Lincoln and
Hamlin's majority at $4,000, over all the
factions which may be brought into the
field. Had not the Democrat better try
again!

Benedict Arnold sold himself to the en-

England and the whole world despised the
traitor. Stephen A. Douglas "rtthless
hand" tore down the Missouri Compro-

hoping, thereby, to make himself Presi-
dent of the United States; he sowed to
the wind, and he will reap his reward in
the whirlwind of condemnation which will
come to his cars on the eth of November.

citing $4,000, which was to be expended in

The DOUGLAS DEMOCRATIC PARTY
THROWING BEAN OvERBoAD.-We under
stand that il is the intention of the Court
House Clique to cut loose from the Messen-
ger, on account of the damaging effects it is
haviDgon them among the people by their
assOciatiDg it with this man. The fact that
he pledged himself to support the original
Lecompton bill, and also that he would
pledge the vote of Judge HALL for that
measure for $4,000, and that he would
come 10 this State and start a newspaper
to advocate the same policy, and oppose
Douglas, is now so generally known that
the leading Douglas men are determined to
throw him overheard. For this reason
Flaugher was put on the Central Commit
tee and thus endorsed by the party. The
next move is to withdraw the county print
ing from the Messenger and give it TO the
Democrat. This man Bean, by his own
testimony, acknowledging that he sold him
self, land as we think, at large figure will
soon find his level. The respectable men
of the party will not fellowship with him
and he will receive his just due--the scorn
and contempt Of every honorable and hon

tailed account of the meeting held there on
last Friday evening. We were there about
an hour and half and can only speak Of
what we saw. By sundown the people of
the vicinity had arrived in large numbers
Long before Mr.. LEE took the stand, the
Wigwam was graced by the presence of not
less than 400 ladies, and at least 400 men
were crowded and wedged in, until not a
foot of sitting or standing room was left.
At the same time there were from 800 to
1000 crowded about the Wigwam. Soon
after Mr.. LEE was introduced and com.
menced speaking a call from the outside
was made that Hon. L. GELPIN, who was
on the speakers stand, should come out
and speak to the throng there. He did so,
and another meeting was organized in front
of the Universalist Church. The meeting
at the Church was larger in numbers than
the one in the Wigwam. Both speeches
we are told were of the highest
order. The Wide Awakes from Bellevue,
with 90 torches, under Capt. w. GooD-
SON; and the Rail-Splitters from Green
Springs, Capt. B. s. PORTER, with some rs
torches, were present and joined with the
Clyde Wide Awakes, who mustered 100
torches. We had to leave before the speak
ing was concluded or the procession came
off; but we are told that it was one of tho
most enthusiastic meetings ever got up in
that village, and the torchlight procession
was unequaled.
