We found ourselves much refreshed il We had

they would have voted for it to q

cratic paper in the State, to elabo-
rate this question fully, and keep it
constantly before the people. One

the democracy of Prcble County
talk this matter over among your
selves, whenever you meet togcth-
er, refresh your memories as to who
it was in 1851, that met you at the
ballot box when you were epdeav-
oring to make Ohio a free State
and voted squarely against you
Ask your republican friend when
you hear him shrieking for free
dom, why he voted against the
adoption ofthe constitution of
in 1851. If he thinks there was
some other little objection to it be-
sidethe negro question, ask him
when the idea first entered his head
that there was any other question
in his creed ofpolitics, but the sla-
very question. Ask him whether
he believed time he cast that
vote, as henow believes that the only
mission God sent the white man to
America to perform was to free the
negro and shrek for freedom. Tell
him lie now holds his liberty in
Ohio by your vote, and not his own.
Ask him if he would vote for free
dom if he had an opportunity on the
direct question, ifhe says he would
then ask him why he did not vote
for it in 1851, put these questions to
them at all times and places and in
every possible form.

to you reader, what the object of
all this ShriekiNg is; are not the
people of the State ofOhio, already
in, and have they not always been
in the possession of all the civil
liberty, that an honest white man
should desire. Has any one in our
State denied or attempted to deny,
or take away from our people any
portion of their civil liberty? Has
the democratic party in Ohio, ever
attempted in any way, to infringe
upon the liberty Of the citizen?-
Does not Ohio to day enjoy all her
civil liberty, by virtue ofdcmocrat-
ic votes and democratic measures ?
Ia it necessary to be thus constant
ly demanding something which we
already have, and which no one has
ever denied? Its certainly very H.
logical to presume that the demo-
cratic party intend taking away
the liberty of the citizen, when cv-

contrary. No honest and fair

A Fact for Laboring Men.

1t is said by many intelligent
men in our county, that leaving
out the towns of Eaton, New Paris,
Camden, Winchester, Lewisburg,
New Westville and Fairhaven, that
our county would be Democratic
by a considerable majority. Ifthis
be true, and we suppose there is no
question about it, it is a fact that
every laboring man, and actual pro-
ducer should look we'll to. We do
not wish to be understood as say
ing that there are no laboring men
in towns, but we do mean to say
that the decided majority of the la
boring classes in both town and
county are Democratic. In all of
these towns, two thirds of the vo-
tiers are non laborers, non produ-
GERS and contribute nothing to our
general basis of wealth and pros
perity. The majority, the large
majority of this class are Republi-
cans, and in this county they hold
the balance Of power and always
succeed in electing the very men
thatthe laboring classes do not wish.
The laborers, the actual producers,
and the real makers of the wealth
and prosperity Of this county have
it in their poWer to govern if they
will understand their true interest
and act in concert. And the fact
that the non laboring classes al
ways defeat you in the election is
your own fault, look at this question
closely then, investigate it, I'M
derstand it thoroughly, act in con-
cert, and it will be utterly impossi-
Bile for four or five men in the town
Of Eaton who never did work, who
are now too lazy to labor, and who
contribute not one cent to the bus
mess and wealth of the community,
by sheer political trickstering
always to fill your county Offices
Their interest and feelings from
the very nature ofthe position they
occupy are wholly antagonistic and
Numerically opposite to you, there
is and can be no affinity between
you. We say to the laboring men,
talk this matter over among your
selves, let it be the theme of con-
~versation wherever you meet to-
gether, and our word for it, you
will sec a commotion among the
non laboring and non producing
gentry. In other words, you will
then have cut the cords that holds
these clogs fast to the wheels OF
true and real Improvement. Never
cease agitating this matter until
you shall make every laboring mau
in the county, understand this mat,
ter thoroughly. You can then
without trouble, elect men to Office
who recognize with a true and sin,
cere spirit, your right to govern
yourselves.

In 1850, this said TT. Larsh was
elected by the people ofthis county
n member of the convention that
framed the present Free Constitu-
ton of Ohio, and which makes the
State at this time o Free State
and gives to the white man all the
privilege that he now enjoys
Yet, this same identical T. j. Larsh,
whsn the labors of the Convention
were about brought to a close and
the question was put before that
body "Shalf the Constitution be
adopted' MSLarsh voted NAY (Sec-
ond Vol. debates Ohio Convention
page 87O.) And Immediately after
receiving his pay from the State
for his services, came home and
used every effort, within his power
both by his vote and ~entreaty, to
defeat the adoption of the Consti-
ton by the people. But the speo-
pie hearkened not unto him, but
adopted the Constitution and made
Ohio a Free State, in opposition to
the vote and entreaty of this same
Mr.. Larsh, and he now enjoys his
freedom in Ohio, against his own
vote to the contrary. He is n
beautiful specimen indeed to screech
Freedom, and talk about the rights
ofFreemen. He would not and did
not vote to make Ohio q Free
State, although he twice had the
opportunity Of so doing on the d.
rect question but on the contrary
thereof, voted squarely against 1t.
Ohio is a free State to day, by the
votes of the very men, who are
termed by thefriends of Mr.. Larsh,
'Sons Of bitches "&are Drivers" and
"Stinkcn Niggers," and we will fur
Their add, that they intend to keep
andmaintain her a free State despite
the votes of Mr.. Larsh and his free
dom loving friends to the contrary.
And we say to our friends when
you hear a man Shricking for free
dom, ask hfn whether he voted
for the present Free Constitution
of Ohio. The chances are rs an
hundred to one, that he did not,
and he will be compelled to admit
the sorrowful fact, hat the only
time he ever had an opportunity of
voting on the direct question of
Freedom, he voted against l.. We
say to the voters of Preblc county,
when youhe one of these Freedom
Scrcechers "roost high." Mr.. Larsh
is very anxious now to fill the
Office of County Auditor, and hold
up his hand and swear to support
this Free Constitution, for which
he would not and did not VOTE
How he can do this is. mystery
we suppose however, that it is done
upon the same hypothesis, that he
voted against making Ohio a Free
State, and then gets up and most
vociferously shrieks for Freedom.
But Oh! JEFF. Jeff. the want OF
money has a most sublime and
soothing influence on the con.
science of man, that which was
rough before, now looks smooth
the wilderness blossoms as the
rose, and all creation revels in the
sunbeams of glory.
