The IXth District.

So far as our knowledge extends, and we
have taken pains to converse with the Re
publicans of each county comprising the
district, the decision is unanimous that Hon
JOHN CAREY should be nominated. Mr.
CAREY has expressed desire not to be a
candidate, but we think under the present
circumstances he ought not to decline, and
we also believe that should the dolegatesir
the Congressional Convention at Forest be
unanimous in their desire for him to be s
candidate that he will consent. The nintE
district has never had so faithful repre-
sentative before, and we believe farmer CAR
EY should be retained.

Judge week ON johnson.

At the Breckenridge meeting in Wash
ington, Judge Meek of Alabama, had
something to say of the Douglasite candi-
date for Vice President whose recorded
opinions none of the Douglas organs dare
to publish. "Independent" writes TO the
Philadelphia North American:
The significant feature of the meeting
was an earnest and general protest against
any purpose, design or contemplation of
dsuniou, now or hereafter. In speaking
for Alabama, Judge Meek said these Sian
ders upon her fair fame had been purposely
fabricated in order to produce false i'm
preston upon the country. He stated that
when as a Union man in 1850, he was sus-
tanning the compromise and opposing the
ultras, Herschel Y. johnson, Dho acos noW
associated on the ticket Nth Douglas, was
one of the rampant fire eaters and disVn-
ionists, and had even recently proclaimed
the same doctrines. This same Mr.. John
son, who was so Unexpectedly taken up as
last resort for the place which others re-
fused, had been denied admission TO the
Baltimore Convention, and aOds votsd bo-
gus delegate By tho gerry men who are noaO
singing pgans to his name.

OLfDE, July 10, looO'
DEAR JoURNAL:-The past week has
been very favorable one for securing the
harvest and has been we'll improved.
All the available threshing machines are
brought into use, and considerable amount
of wheat will be ready for market this
week. Some contracts have been made for
present delivery at $l,Oo for red, and $l,1O
for white.
Our new warehouse has recently changed
hands; H. Hurd, Esq, having sold to Mr..
Crockett; and it is understood that it will
be occupied by Messrs. Crockett q Smith,
who, with their capital and influence, it is
hoped, will be able to establish a market
that will bring all the produce here that
would naturally come to this point and thus
add very much to the business of our town.
There have been some other changes here
during the past week; among them two or
three weddings, of which you will no doubt
have due notice.
Among the business changes, one has ex-
cited considerable surprise. l refer to
prominent temperance man-an officer in
our temperance society--who has taken an
interest in a grocery whore it is understood
the "Critter" is not only kept, but dealt out
pretty extensively. Whether the intention
is to root the "critter" out, or 60 on as usual,
selling that which does no one good, but
does great numbers harm, lam not informed.
For the credit of all coucerned--including
our temperance society," hope the former.
1t may be interesting to your readers to
know that we have live Temperance soci-
ETY. in our town, organized some three
months since. We meet every second and
fourth Friday evening in each month. We
number about one hundred and fifty mem.
bers Our last meeting was last Friday
evening, when we had short speeches from
Elder Geo. R. Brown, and Elder Joseph
jackson. The speakers urged the necessi
f ty of standing firm to our principles, es
pecially during the exciting political con
test upon which we have entered, referring
to the fact that tho temptation to indulge
in intoxicating drinks is greater when mer
congregate in great numbers, among whom
are usually found those who by preceptant
5 example exert an influence in the wrong
direction. Other points of interest were
referred to, so that as usual our meeting wa
very interesting.
We had another spirited "WideAwake'
b meeting last evening-rendered particularly
,, interesting by an addition to our number
, of one who has formerly acted with the so
called Democracy.
f refer to w. H. Reynolds, Esq, of ou
e town. He made little speech, defining t
e some extent his position and promised u
u that at some future time he would max
" a speech which he wanted all, especial
Democrats to hear-in which he woul
prove to the satisfaction of all reasonabl
J. persons, that, since 1854 the Democrat
/ party is quite different thing to what
= formerly was. x.

PoMEkoY, Ohio, July 10.
EDS. GAzErTEi Notice having been Civ
en- for two or three days that William Dill
cher would deliver his farewell address to
Democracy on last evening, accordingly the
citizens of the upper end Of town, headed
by band, with banners flying, together
with many other Republicans, and very
few of the Douglasites proceeded to the
Court House, where they listened to plain
unvarnished tale in which the speaker gave
his reasons for leaving the "old and TRUE ~
Democratic party" to which he had been
welded for so long time, and joining 10
the support Of Lincoln and Hamlin.
After the conclusion Of Mr.. Dilcher, Mr..
Wallar of Racine, lifelong Democrat,
man who had stood by the Democratic par
ty "tbrough good as we'll as evil report"
took the stand, and in very forcible man
ner gave his reasons for becoming Demo
crat and then for becoming Republican.
The popular mind is fast changing for
Lincoln. The oldest citizens say they have
never attended SO enthusiastic meeting
since 1910.
Al the close of the meeting it was an
nounced that Fred Hassaurek of your city
would visit us at any time we chose, which
produced cheer after cheer. You may set
old Meigs down 500 majority for Lincoln,
Hamlin and Horton.
BY inserting this notice in your paper
you will oblige many REPUBLICANS.

from Europe, by the steamer Vanderbilt on
Saturday. He did not bring the belt pre-
sented him, it having been attached by the
manufacturers, the necessary subscription
to defray the expense not having been re-

he intends to return to England and have

SwANToN. July 18th, 1860.

FRIEND KEELER.-Noticing a request
that your patrons should send in some Incl
dent or communication relative to politics,
crops, &C., 1 venture for the first. time to
write few lines to be published in your
very valuable paper.
Several years ago when the Democratic
party was at its height, and Mr.. Dickinson
and Mr.. Cole were candidates for Repre-
sentative, the leaders of the Democracy
we're out far and near electioneering, and
among their appointments was one at Dol
ly's school-house, in your county. Mr..
Greene was to address the audience but
failed to appear. Mr.. George Click and
Mr.. James Smith being present, proceeded
to address the meeting. They had much
to say about their party being aprogressive
party, the only true party, and that it had
elected Governors in almost all the States
but one or two, and as soon as opportunity
would admit they would rule the whole
United States. The above reminds me Of
little boy endeavoring to fill his arm with
ears of corn; when he gets it nearly full
and attempts to put on another ear it com.
mences slipping out at the bottom, and soon
the whole armful is on the floor. So with
the Democratic States. They have been
slipping out at tho bottom into the arms Of
the Republicans until the last one has been
nearly reached. The 4th day Of November
will finish the business.
The party is now trying to elect two
Presidents, or rather each party Of thei
party is endeavoring to elect them. They
want Breck President to open the slave
trade; Doug to establish new slave States
by his squatter sovereign humbug; Lane
for Vice President to lead the charge to &C
quire Cuba, and johnson to vote supplies.
l understand that Swanton township vii
give an increased Republican majority thi
fall; hurrah Crops good; we need SOM
rain. Y.

The meeting at The Wigwam on Frida

The meeting at the Wigwam on Friday
evening last was a good one, and the zeal
and enthusiasm manifested by the Republi-
cans of this township in taking earnest hold
of the political organization thus early in
the contest is far more encouraging to us
than it has ever been before. If they will
thus continue as they have commenced,
Sandusky county can be wholly redeemed
from the grasp which the democracy now
have upon it. There arc many men who
never in their lives cast other than demo
cratic vote, who have declared for Lincoln
and Hamlin.
The audience were ably addressed by B.
P. SMITH, Esq, of Bellevue, who up to the
nominationsat Baltimore, had been an ac
tive and energetic leader of Democracy
B ut when he saw that the professions O.
Douglas were only a trick to obtain North
ern votes, and his declarations were two-si
ded and wholly insincere, he abandoned the
party to which he had always been allied
and declared boldly for Lincoln, as the only
hope of American liberty. His remarks
were well and forcibly made, elicitiug tho
applause and admiration of the audience
The Democracy have lostone of their stron
gest supporters and most faithful advocatel
in this section.

papers in the South in the support Of

the Douglas organ of Northern Georgia.
We make the following extracts from the
prospectus of this paper:
We are for the perpetuation Of the UN.
ION; provided the neutrality laws, the
compromise measures Of 1850, and all sub
sequent compromises are repealed.
We are for the repeal Of the restrictions
upon the african slave trade, regardless O
its construed impolicy by Northern tanat
ics and Southern submissioniSts.
We regard the foregoing restrictions as
unwarranted by tho Constitution, deprivat
ing, degrading, insulting, and grievously
sectional.
