DANGER or STAYING AT HOnIEi
The vote Of the Western Reserve in 1856
was as follows:
Fremont ao5i5 buchanan, ls,44O
Dennisou, 32,29a Ranney ls,O55
s.1 bio" f,a22 9o5
Showing that on the Western Reserve in
1859 no less than 7,l22 Republicans stayed at
home aoaiEst sos Democrats.
This startling result was accomplished by
Republicans neglecting to vote because no
danger to the State t'eket was anticipated.
Beware Of resting on such false, and, it may
be, fatal security. The whole State Re2ubi-
can ticket should receive every Republican
vote in the State There is no valid excuse,
save prostating sickness, for ncglecting 20
vote.
Let every Republican voter bear in mind
that desperate effort is being made to de-
feat Judge Briukerhof, By a mioH Of al The
fIg-ends Of the opposition 10 The Republican
party in Ohio upon Mr. SRrfh, the nominee Qfths
Douglas party for JUolge Of tie Supreme Court
The Bell Convention, while nominating can
didates for the other State offices, not only
did not nominate for Supreme Judge, but ex-
pressly recommended all the members of that
party to vote for Mr. Smith. The fusion of
this remnant Of the Know Nothings with
modern prO-slavory Democracy, is one Of the
significant indications of the times. The
Breckenridge State Convention made no
nomination for State officers, and that wing
Of the divided Democracy will aid in swell
ing the vote for the Douglas State ticket es-
pecially on Supreme Judge. This is avOwed
by the Breckenridge organs.
Though it is an admission of our superior
strength when all these discordant weaker
factions combine against us, this confession
of weakness by our political opponents and
their fusion to accomplish given end, inn
pose upon Republicans additional duties and
responsibilities. These must be met. Onr

To secure this, our organization must be
perfect. Every township, ward, and school
district must be canvassed; the names andpar-
ty attachments of every vote, ,,uust beIknowni
and the most efficient means must be taken
to bring every Republican to the epOlls. tits
specially to this that we desire to call your
attention. Has this work been done? Have
you subcommittee in every school district?
Have you list of all your voters? Are
you sure that you viii get them all to the
place of voting, if it shall happen to be a
rainy, unpleasant day. Have you arranged
your challenging committees Secure your
best and most intelligent men for this duty.
Have you carriages provided to carry the
sick, the aged, and the lazy, if any such
exist, to the polls? Have you provided
tickets for every election precinct and are
you sure they viii be there, and in the hands
of the right men If these things are not
all arranged, let US urge upon you that you
delay no longer, but do them at once, and do
them thoroughly. You may rely upon your
enemies being ready for the occasion. Their
discipline, from the nature of the materials
that compose their forces, has always been
better than ours. But it should be so no
longer. If free labor is better for people
and State than slave labor; if free ;insti-
tutions are better than slave institutions;
then free people should not fail to take such
action as will be certain to secure their as
cendancy.
