Banner Township-vetsruns Anecdotes.


The Conneaut Reporter says "AndoVer IS
the Banner Township of Astabula County
She cast at the late election 2I4 votes, and
2l2 of these for Brinkerhoffl IA larger Re
publican vote will be polled for Lincoln and
Hamlin, without any increase of Democratic
strength" Andovsr is the Banner town Of
Chic, and no mistake. Her club Of 100
Wide Awakes stand at the head Of the proud
column of the Union.
Noble Colebrook stands next to Andovcr,
giving 1873 Republican to Eve Democratic
votesl
The Reporter states that William White,
Senior, of Amboy, aged 95 years, deposited a
Republican ballot on the 9th, stepping out of
his carriage at the polls with as much activi-
ty as man of 60. Mr.. Northway, aged 81,
was also on hand, and goes for Honest Old
Abe. Young and middle aged stay-at-homes
election days do you hear that2
The Ashtabula Sentinel relates the follow
ing election anecdotes
In New Lyme, an old Democrat was miss
ed firm the polls. 1t was said that his wife
influenced him to stay away. Towards night
be was seen crossing the fields near the polls,
to milk. CanvasseTs Of his old party took
after him and run him down. After great
strife was, whs should get his vote, he soon
decided-'1f must vote, give me Republi-
can ticket"
In Sheffield, a Democrat who had been
exercised in mind on the questions of the
day, was seen to go off by himself with q
Republican ticket. He scratched of all the
names of the candidate; then he wrote the
Democratic State ticket on the back of 1t,
but before voting scratched that off, and
wrote 4" can't go i" which sentiment ne
voted. II .-E.I.lLrg gttlt
In Jefferson, man Of some color, but
within the constitutional limit offered his
vote and was challenged. The judges con-
suited together, and he waited, remarking-
"Decide for yourselves, gentlemen, whether l
am man OF q beast" He was decided to be a
man.

The KIduappIng Cuse--COnduetOr Sherman.

The KIduRPpInG Cuse--COnductor sherman.
We copy from the Register the statement
of Conductor sherman and Others, on the sub
ject Of the part be bore in the Infamous kid
mapping Of two families near Sandusky. His
ATTEMPTED exculpation but makes the matter
worse, and shows him very stupid officer
and man, or big knaye, most probably the
latter. By his own showing he had every
opportunity to deliver the kidnapped men,
women and children, from the iangs Of the
slave-hounds, but he deliberately chose to
become the instrument for consgning six
stolen fellow-beings to life-slavery, rather
than run any risk himselfor make soulless
corporation liable The statement shows on
its face that the "tesliRgs" were put on to
cover crime against humanity which should
make an African Slave pirate blush. Luck
lily for Mr. Shellabarger his "wise counsel Z"
under which the kidnapping was consumma-
ted, was given after instead of before his nom
ination and election.

We very eheerfully give place to the above
statements in relation to Mr.. Sherman's con-
nection with the kidnapping case Of the 18th
inst. We would add that both from the re-
lation of facts above given and from con-
versation with Mr.. Ogden and Mr.. Sherman,
we are satisfied that the latter had no COM
plicity with the british hounds, who with
processes in their pockets, resorted to decep-
ton and base intrigue, and thereby brought
an innocent man to suffer distrust at the
hands of his friends.
The inhuman and revolving affair has been
largely discussed here and it has served to
deepen the prejudice with which our people
look upon this so-called christianizing in
stitution," which one portion of our country
are laboring to perpetuate, and which some
Of our neighbors even, are willing to aid in
spreading over miles of our free territories,
for the benefit Of such ruthless hounds as
those who made this assault
The slaye-catcher has been in our midst,
and taken his victims. Two families have
been forced from their homes, where they
had gathered about them by their own indus
try the comforts of life, and wererushed sum
marily by an armed force more than double
their numbers, on board of a dark car and
put in irons, leaving behind two helpless chill
dren, of whose fate they will never know
aught nor will the worse than orphaned ones
ever hear again trom their parents yin other
words, the Fugitive Slave Law has been with
US, alive and operative letter and burning
disgrace to the American people.-Sd1dttShy hy

Assault ON WIDE AwAEEs.-Saturday eve
ming 5nvre was procession of Wide Awakes
in Troy, N. Y. In passing through Fourth
street. the procession was suddenly assaulted
with stones from the upper windows and roofs
ofthe buildings on both sides of the street.

hurt as to endanger their lives, Such are
Douglas arguments.

The editor of the Douglas Dealer burned
gun-powder Tuesday evening over the boast
ed circulation and influence Of his unscrupu-
lous and lying sheet. Republicans certainly
have no cause to find fault with the extensive
circulation of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, for
next to the speeches of its stump candidate it
is the best Republican electioneerer eItant as
witness the overwhelming anti-Douglas ma
iorities in the States where it mainly finds

ANOTHER OUTRAeE.-The Wheeling Wide
Awakes were assaulted with stones and other
missiles while in procession the night Of the
llth, and the rufians who assailed them
blocked the streets with drays, &c. A fight
ensued, shots were fired, The Wide Awakes
laying about them with their torches, The
procession was not broken up. The Wheel
ing Intelligencer says if the rufhans suppose
they can prevent the Wide Awakes from
turning out when and where they please,
they are mistaken.

A. the request of Mr.. B. F. Sherman,I make
the following statement as to his action in re-
gard to the alleged fugitiyes, taken On his
irAin near Sandusky, last week.
Mr.. Sherman came to me, and expressed
his regrets that they had got upon his train
" statement made to him, at Sandusky,
that they would probably want to take on
IN arrested mail robber and counterfeiter at
hat point; and he seemed anxious not to be
made an instrument of carrying off those peO-
pie who were in custody, if they were not in
legal custody, and to avoid this he required
the officer having the negroes to exhibit to
lac his writs under which he held them.
This the officer did, and examined one Of
the writs AMI saw that it was regular and le-
gal, so far as l could judge of its legality
And gave Mr.. Sherman my opinion that he
had no right to do otherwise than to carry
these passengers to the destination to which
they had paid their fare. The writs were
regularly issued by Newhall, Q. S. Commits
sioner at Cincinnati.
