the thoughtful, rejecting, and intelligent
of all parties, which must be worth sew
eral hundred votes in the District. We
use no unmeaning words, and intend no
partisan fattery, when we say that the
entire people of the District, whether
they vote for him or not, have the fullest
confidence in his integrity, and his devo-
ton to the best interests of the whole
country. They know that no scheme of
fraud, corruption, or public plunder can
ever receive his sanction-that no section
of our broad land will ever be injured
by any action of his. With such can
didate, although the District has very
heavy party majority against US, we con-
6dently expect his election. This conf
.dence is founded upon reliable informa-
tion, received from all parts of the Dis.
trict, which We fully believe indicates
his certain election. We count, there
fore, upon gain of member Of the
next Congress, in the election of the Hon.
V. B. Horton. Gsa ~ .-.-& -..aS &
Twelfth District.
This District has very heavy Dem
ocratic majority. 1t is now represented
by S. S. Cox, who is renominated by his
party, and will use all the arts of which
he is master, to secure his return. But
he has disgusted many of the better class
of the Democrats by his regeneration
and dodging policy. He opposed the
Lecompton swindle in Congress with
zeal that knew no limits, and then voted
for it. Leading men in his own party
do not hesitate to.charge him with being
bought-corruptly and venally bought
by Buchanan, and so testified under oath
before the Investigating Committee of
Congress. He has now turned Douglas
man again, but is trying to carry both
wings of the party. Sam Galloway is
the Republican candidate, and ought to
be elected but ace fear mill not be. It
seems incredible; that the people, large
as the Democratic majority is in the
District, can sustain Cox in his shufling
and tortuous cause. But, as the Dis
trict is largely Democratic, we fear the
changes will not be sufficient to give it
to the Republicans, although the Jour
nal believes Galloway aciU certainly sue
ceed. EEi-s.s'.
Thirteenth District. .... ........ ..........
Richland, &c. John Sherman is the
nominee. of the Republicans of this Dis
trict for reelection. Mr.. Sherman is
one of the ablest men in Congress, and
has won a position in that body which
has given his name to the whole country
as household word. Many of our
readers will see and hear him to-day
His District has laid the whole country
under an obligation by his re-nomina-
ton. lie will be elected, of course, and
if he lives will be called to ELL higher
position by the people of Ohio, his ma
tive State. He is one of the rising men
of the nation, whose services the people
will demand in wider sphere hereaf-
ter. ri .,3-
Fourteenth District.
Medina, &c. Harrison G.. Blake is
renominated by the Republicans in this
District, and.will be elected without any
doubt. He is the present Representa-
tive, and has given entire satisfaction.
His constituents have done we'll to place
him again ON the track. A better man,
and more popular candidate could hardly
have been selected, and we look with
entire confidence to his success.
Fifteenth District. ......
Tuscarawas, &c. William Helmick,
the present member, has been nominated
by the Republicans for reelection. The
District is close one-usually Demo
cratic, but with the changes to the Re-
publican party during the last year, we
consider the election Of Mr.. Helmick as
certain. He is good, sound, safe man,
a reliable Republican, of irreproachable
character, and very popular in his Dis
trict. The choice is wise one, and we
place the name of Mr.. H. upon our list
of successful candidates. a~s
Sixteenth District.
Washington, &c. VIM. P. Cutler is
the Republican candidate in this Dis
trict. He is well known as one of the
clearest headed, and honest hearted men
in the State. His election is sure be-
yond contingency, and will be an ac-
QUESTION to the Ohio delegation in Ohio,
of which the whole State may feel a
just pride. G. B. Thompson is j. the
present member, who has served his
constituents faithfully, and retires at
the close of the present Congress with
we'll earned reputation, and the salts
faction of knowing that his place will
be filed by worthy successor.
Seventeenth District.
p. Belmont, &c. Thos. c. Theaker has
beon nominated for reelection by the
Republicans of this District. The Dis
trict is doubtful one, usually giving
large Democratic majority. Mr.. Theaker
is farmer of sound judgment, and
character for integrity without stain.
He was elected two years ago by very
small ma ortiz mainlu on the strannth
