Of Electors OF Prcsid cnt
and vice President.

The election OF electors OF President and
Vice President occurs every four years,
and from the fact that the vote is not
cast directly for the candidates themselves,
but for an intervening body, known as
electors, there are some poculianties con-
nected with this election, not known to
our ordinary State elections.
The qualifications Of the voter are the
same, and the penalties for fraud and
illegal voting are those fixed in the law
regulating our State elections. The
Judges and Clerks are governed by the
same law, also, except in the returns OF
the poll books. But the voter does not
cast his vote directly for the candidates
for President and Vice President, but for
twenty-three citizens of the State Of Ohio,
who are styled Electors of President and
Vice President.
Within three days after the election, in
the several townships and wards, in the
various counties, it is made the duty OF
one of the Judges to carry and deliver
to the Sheriff (who is required to attend
to his office fot two days to receive the
returns) of the county, at his Office, the
poll book of the election, aud to take from
said Sheriff receipt for the same, which
receipt is to be fled with the Clerk of the
Court of Common Pleas, of the county
The sheriffs OF the several counties
within the State of Ohio, are required
within eleven days after the election, to
convey to and file with the Secretary oI
State, at his office, in Columbus, the poll
b ooks of the elections aforesaid; and the
Secretary shall. on the 18th day after the
election, in the presence of the Governo or
and the sheriffs, open the same and de-
clare the result.
Tie ticket for Electors of President
and Vice President should be printed as
follows:

Voting on the Reserve.

Down here in "benighted Holiness" as
Republicans delight to call it, tits gener-
ally Believed that this government was
made by white men, and designad by its
originators to be governed by white men.
1t is thought that the blacks should en-.
Joy all the rights that can be given them
without encroaching upon the rights oI
white men, but we do not believe that nc.
groes can be placed on an equality with
white men in the family circle, in the
Jury. box, or, at the ballot box, without
infringing upon the rights of white men.
Up on the Western Reserve the people
think differently. What would our staid
old farmers say II they had been up in
cheesdom on the day of the election and
saw negroes haul white men to the polls,
and white men haul negroes to the pollsi
They would have been greatly astonished
to have Witnessed these things which did
actually accur at the recent election and
will, doubtless, be repeated ct the next
This is Black Rerublicanism to the letter,
and this the kind of Repubicanism thai
beat the Democracy at the recent State
election.
o, first they haulcd the white man,
And then they hauled tile black. o,
And a Democrat thought to himself,
The devil can't equal that, o."

The very Worst.

W'o have but little fears OF Lincoln be-
ing elected. Let us see how it stands!
No one pretends that he will do anything
in Southern State; it takes 1872 ele"tor-
nj votes to elect; the Northern, or free
States, give 1888; this is 3 more than is
necessary to elect; no one claims New
Jersey or California for Lincoln these
give IL votes, and leave 20 to spare
There are several ways for him to lose
these 20 votes; the entire conservative
vote Of New York is united on one cleo
toral ticket, and bid fair to carry the
State, which would defeat him. Then,
all the tickets in Pennsylvania, except
one formed before any presidential nomi-
nations were made, have been withdrawn
and to that one ticket the Douglas, Breck-
inridgc and Bell men pledge their sup
port; if it succeeds it defeats Lincoln. -.
Again, we think there is fair chance for
carrying Indiana and Illinois against
him; and this would lay him out. Be-
side all these chances there is possibil-
ity Of our carrying Ohio against him,
which world be sufficient for his defeat.
But if all these calculations should fail,
and Lincoln be elected, and Providence
should vary his rule of calling to THEN
long home all presidents elected in oppo-
si,ion to the Democratic party, he will
bo almost powerloss. The Democrats
have majority in the Senate, and the re
cent gains of Congressman makes it GER
certain that there will be majority in
the House in opposition to him. Flo car
only console himself, if elected, with the
bitter reflection that
"On his head they placed fruitless crown,
And put barren sccptre in his grippe"

ed for the great contest and one week from
next Tuesday? If not let all go to work
Immediately. Let us meet the enemies
Of Constitutional Liberty, Of the rights Of
men, with that frmness, vigilance and
zeal that become men who are battling
for the right. That the chances are
against us in Ohio should urge US on to
fight the harder. When the men of '76
rebelled against the oppressive rulings,
and arbitrary enactments of q tyranical
King, and dctatorial Parliament, and
asserted the great principle of POPULAR
SOVEREIGNTY, they did not stop to
inquire how many British soldiers would
be sent to force them to disgraceful sub
mission, or, how many traitors they
would find in the colonies to "welcome
them with bloody hands to hosritable
graves" but they boldly proclaimed to
the world the righteousness of their cause,
and for its protection pledged their lives,
their furtunes, and their sacred honor
They numbered but few, their enemy
many, but the God Of battles came to
their aid and victory perched upon their
banner. They sacrificed life. blood and
treasure, everything but honor, to estab.
lish the great doctrine that man is capable
of elf-government. They were success
full in establishing it, and for more than
three quarters of n century the American
people have been in almost undisturbol
possession Of its blessings. Under it we
have become the greatest, most prosper
GUS and happy people on the whole earth
1t is now assaled by fanatics, secession
lists, disunionists and Abolitionists, and
it becomes us as worthy sons of honor
ed sires" to bear our flag aloft and battle
for it firmly, boldly, fearlcssly and to the
utmost extent of our ability. Then,
"Once moro to the breach"
Every man has duty to perform; let
him perform it well.
'Stand TO ii. noble pikemen,
And face We well about;
And shootye sharp bold bowmen,
And we will keep them out.
Ye musket mud cavalry men,
Prove soldiers to u man;
Our gallant leader bears the flag,
Our DOUGLAS leads tho van"

The Vote Of OHIO.

The vote at the recent election sums up
to near 410, 600, about so, 900 more than
over before cast. 1t is thought now that
BnINKERHoFF's ma jority is about 10000,
but there is no doubt but SMITH had n
handsome majority of the legal votes
cast OF the illegal votes the negro vote
alone reaches near IL, 900; so that the
nggers have tho balance Of power and
have decided the contest in this State
Negroes elected CUTLER to Congress, in
the Muskingum district, by 64 majority
over Judge JEwErr. Rumor says the
election of CUTLER is to be contested. and
we hope it will be. We fancy there will be
majority in Congress who do not be-
lieve that sooty Africans are "achite male
citizens of the United States" An Abo-
ltion Supreme Court in Ohio can decide
that negroes are white, can corrupt the
ballot-bo with negro votes and make the
white men of Ohio submit to negro rule
but they can enforce no such decision up
on Congress.
There were Democrats enough stayed
at home at the recent election to have car
sled the State over the Quakers, niggcrS
and niggcr-worshippers. One week from
next Tuesday the great battle is to be
fought, and if every Democratic vote in
the State is pollcd we will certainly be
crowned with success. LINCOLN cannot
come within 5000 votes Of that cast for
BnINKERHoFF. There are more than that
number voted the Republican ticket who
will vote for BELL and EvERETr. OfthC
40 900 BELL and EVERETT men conceded
to bo in the State but 10000 voted fol
SMITH; the other $4,000 voted for Bunk,
ERuoFr. Take tho 200 who voted loi
SMITH ftom DOUGLAS, and the 2S,00O

and it will leave MS handsome majority

against our carrying the State, but we
have a chance and one, too, worth fight.
