CoRREsPONDENCE-
swANroN, O.. sept. 12, lseO.


l. M. KEELER-DEAR SIR: l take op-
portunity to write you few lines, that you
may know Republicans and their principles
flourish some in this section. We have a
LINCOLN and HAML1N Club in this place,
composed of good, hard working men
they are not "all lawyers and merchants" !"
On the 9th we raised splendid Pole, 100
feet high, and from its top floats the Stars
and Stripes" an index of the feelings of our
villagers. In the evening we were address
ed by CHAs. KENT and Mr.. MARX, of To-
ledo, in a mastery manner. There was no
slang in the speeches, and the people were
all highly pleased. Mr. Kent dwelt princi-
pally on the platforms of the different can
didates, drawing acomparison between that
of "Honest Abe" and the one on which the
Squatter Sovereign stood.
Crops are good. We have had fine rains
lately, which is just what farmers needed
as now is the seeding time." Last night
we had little frost, though not enough tc
injure vegetation.
Yours, DC, R. H. w.

AT the Republican meeting at Beverly,
New Jersey, Morton McMichael of the Phila-
delphia NORTH american said: But there
is going to be a great change as sure as 1
stand here looking in your faces, and Abra-
ham Lincoln will be the next President of
the United States. Cheers. That is so!
A voice-It can't be rubbed out No! l
like that phrase. 1t can't be rubbed out;
we'll rub it in from now till next October.
[Cheers and laughter. The speaker then
proceeded to show the fallacy of the assump-
ton that Bell will get the vote of Pennsyl-
vania. With the highest regard for Mr..
Bell he would say it, and not in a spirit of
depreciation, that John Bell would not get
5000 votes there"
Mr. W. Gardner, for twenty years resi-
dent of Lapeer, Mich. and President of the
Douglas Club in that town, has resigned his
position, and declares that he is thoroughly
convinced of the hollowness of Douglas pro.
fessions. He will support Lincoln.

The WRONG Side.

The Tiffin AdVertissr thus charges larce-
ny upon the Republicans: "You are trying
to steal Democratic thunder by saying that
slavery can exist nowhere without the pro-
lection of local law That is the position Of
Mr.. Douglas and the Democratic party.
You can't steal that doctrine from u.s."
The National Liberty party which assem-
bled at Buffalo in ls43 and nominated
James G. Birney for President "Resolved,
That we recognise as sound, the doctrine
maintained by slave-holdiug jurists, that
slavery is against natural rights and strictly
local, and that its eristence and continu-
ancs rests on no other support than STATE
legislation, and not on any authority o.
Congress"
Will not the Advertiser come down
Douglas has stolen the thunder of tho ole
Liberty Guards as we'll as that of the Re
publican party. The "Little Giant" frs
committed tho larceny in the Harper arti
cle,-Register.

Their Love for Foreigners.

The Indiana State Sentinel, (the Douglas
organ,) ,)of the 18th inst, publishes letter
from R. J. RYAN, a leading Democratic pol
itician of that State, of which the following
is the conclusion:
"If ever spoke in terms ofcondemnation
of any set of men who, like myself, had
been born in another land than this, it was
of that infidel crew whom Carl Schurz and
the infamous libeler of the Freie Presse are
noted and striking examples-cowardl fu-
gitives from the battle fields of Europe
men who, Nth the stripes of Frederick and
Francis Joseph fresh upon their backs,
seem to be hustled to the shores of free
America only for the purpose of basely and
traitorously lending their efforts to break up
and destroy the free Government that gen
erously protects them from the knom and
the lash of their former masters and tyrants.
Yours respectfully, R. ]. RYAN"
According to modern Democracy, true
Liberty consists in getting the chains of
your own wrists and putting them on your
fellow-man,-if you are strong enough.
"The knout, the lash," and ''stripes" of Eu-
ropean "masters and tyrants," are we'll
enough for "cowardly fugitives" who come
to America to oppose Slavery and oppres-
sion, and refuse to aid, in extending and
perpetuating Human Bondage over the Free
Territory of the great West-according tc
Mr.. RYAN.

DOUGLAS HUMBUGGERY.

Stephen while searching for bis mother
(poor many got into Pennsylvania, and be-
ing "betrayed" into making speech, got
completely off his usual track, and had the
people not known it was "Stephen" his
words would have been taken as those of a
life long protectionist. Knowing that the
people Of that State are for aTariffhe came
down on them in good style. He defended
the "protective policy, especially as regar-
ded Pennsylvania interests" and as he has
been always cheating, he thought he could
do it to some good for himself on that oc-
casion.
Douglas played false again. The peo-
pie knew it. His record on the tariff is his
tory, and we have only to go to the record
to find him. He has been a free trader all
his life. Read now what Stephen A. Doug
las said in the Senate on the first of March,
1855. His own words are a dead shot on
the subject. He said:-
81 am for the reduction Of the Tariff to
a strict reVenue standard. l AM A FREE
TRADE MAN TO THE FULLEST EX.
TENT that we can carry it, and at the
same time collect revenue enough to defray
expenses of the Government. In Other
words, l am for no other kind of tariff thar
a revenue tariff" See Globe.
Again, he says:
"When you call on me as revenue tarif
man, as freetrader, to abandon n,y 1orin
ciples and turn protectioniSt, wish to know
how far you are going to carry your protec
zionist doctrines. Il am against this meas
ure, he repeated, 'on the ground that it il
not a revenue tariff; that it is not free
trade measure; that it is return to what
had hoped was an EXPLODED DOC
TRINE, PROTECTION" See Globe.
Let us now look to the Cincinnati plat
form, which was re-afirmed by the Con
vention that nominated Douglas, and whicl
he loves so much, and see what it says:
ReSolved, That justice and sound polio,
forbid the Federal Government to foste
one branch of industry to the detriment c
any other; to cherish the interests of on
portion to the injury of another portion c
our common country; that the time ia
come for the people of the United States t
) declare themselves in favor of free seas an
progressive FREE TRADE throughout th
world, and by solemn manifestations to plac
their moral influence by the side of thei
successful example !"
Stephen is a FREE TRADER, an
every man who votes for him expecting tbs
he will favor protective tariff policy wi
be deceived. The Republicans only al
the friends of a judicious protective tari
that will be alike just to all sections of tn
country.

Bear in Mind!

That the Democratic party of Ohio is
alone responsible for all the negro-equality
that exists in the State.
In 1880 1--WE believe it was,) the DEM
ocratic members of the Ohio Legislature vo-
ted, to man, to repeal the "Black Laws
thus giving to negroes privileges in many
respects, equal to the white man.
Bear IN mind, that the Democratic Su-
preme Court of Ohio have invariably deci-
ded, that colored persons, more than hall
white, are citizens and entitled to vote.
When Democrats talk to the Republicans
about negro-equality, put these things al
them.

Democratic Love of Germans |!

John s. Barry, Democratic Ex Governor
Of Michigan said that "-Michigan did not
Udnt any more Dutchmep." The same
sentiment is entertained and often expressed
by the Democracy of Ohio. Still this
sham democracy is striving to hold the
German vote by false expressions of regard
for them. In this State the Know Nothing
and Douglas party have united on the same
candidate for Supreme Judge. In San
dusky county the Douglas party have nom
mated Know Nothing for clerk, and are
asking the foreigners to vote for him. We
arc much disappointed in our calculations
if they can carry the German vote for the
Court House Clique this fall.
In an article below, taken from the edi-
torial columns Of the Detroit Free Press,
our German citizens can see the estimation
in which they are held by the Democracy.
So soon as the Germans are forced 10 doubt
the honesty of democratic party, and seek
to unite with the Republicans they are
berated in the following style. The Free
Press says:
"7hese men-and we speak only of the
radicals, the communists, and the free-think
ers who formed SO large proportion o.
German emigration for six years after 194s
and every one of whom is now voting the
black Republican ticket-these men 6rough
a0ith them eractly tie same principles Meg
cherished IN Europe. They are the sam,
revolutioniStS, the same communists, til,
same inJidels; they are as ready to Wag,
var upon the mythical SLAVE power, a!
they acre upon their government at home
they still have faith IN their exploded Socia
system; they still reUile religion, and pu
their trust IN such spirits as Tom Pain
and the like. They make it point to OBJ
serve all their old habits and customs, anc
especially their principles, for very many o
them still live in almost daily expectation
of being callen back to regenerate Ger
many. Coming here rs REVOLUTION
lists AND INFIDELS, THEY NATURAL,
TOOK TO ABoLTTIoNIsM AND sEoTIoNALIsM
a0orshiping dlaOays sort of dreamy idea
of liberty, they really thought Black Re
publicanism was its impersonation, an
therefore attached themselves very readil
TO that organization, and became great er
thusiasts for it-EXTREME, RADICAL
REVOLUTIONARY, SECTIONAL, FA
NAUTICAL, AND SOCIALISTIC."

MELMoRE, Seneca Co., Sept. ~, 1860.
SR:-Being constant reader of your
widely extended paper and noticing your
request for items from neighboring locai-
ties, 1 thought few lines would not be OBJ
jectionable
Ours, (the Republican party,) is in the
majority in both town and township, but
singular to say up to this time political
speaking has been in dormant state. The
reason is this: having in our midst a good
band of music, our services are called for in
every direction to the neglect of matters
nearer home. But, as this could not last
long, where a Wide-Awake was present, a
movement in the right direction has taken
place. A company is already organized of
over 60 members, uniformed and mounted.
Had it been on foot, it could have been
made over 100 strong, but it is perhaps best
as it is as they can be made more effective
at distance.
By the by, believe we are in the same
Congressional District. Was it NOBLE in
days of yore to vote for the Ordinance OF
'87 to be extended over free territory, and
is it NOBLE to now try to oust an honest
man from his seat in Congress for carrying
out the same doctrine? N. G. R.

LINooLN's ELECTION ACKNOWLEDGE BY
DoUeLAs.-In his speech at Norfolk, Va,
Douglas said;
Lincoln has no hope ofbeing elected e1-
cept through the efforts of the secessionists,
who have divided the Democratic party
supposing that Breckenridge could carry ev-
cry Southern State, though it now seems he
is not going to carry single one by the
people, Still, BY DIVIDING THE
NORTH, HE GIVES EVERY ONE OF
THE STATES TO LINCOLN, THUS
ALLOWING HIM TO BE ELECTED
BY THE POPULAR VOTE.
This admission is frank and truthful. II
is pity Mr.. D. cannot induce the Pitts
burg Post to be equally frank.

HARD ON 81. Bit is the custom of the
Long Island Republicans to open their
meetings with prayer. A venerable clergy
man, called upon to perform this service at
the dedication of tho Wigwam at -,
few evenings since, embraced in his fer
vent petition the following by no means
complimentary allusion to the present ad-
ministration: 30 Lord thou knowest that
sometimes the vilest of the vile attain the
high places of power, and that We, as a
people, are now undergoing bitter eeperi.

Douglas never lodged any question il

DouglOs never lodged any question in
his life.-Dabuq4e Herald.
Of course not AT the last session Of
Congress he lodged only the Kansas bill,
the Revenue bill, the Postal bill, the Tariff
bill and the Homestead bill. He eternally
had the gout in his stomach, or the sore
throat, or the pleurisy, or the diarrhea, or
was paired off, except when he could advo-
cate his own modest claims to the Presi-
dency. He did not vote on a single one
of the great measures before 9. fess-not
one. That is his record. It is blank
leaf.-RepOrter.

A Dastardlv Outrage

UPON A REPUBLICAN MEETING
While Judge CAREY was making aspeech
at Dunkirk, on Wednesday evening last,
band of drunken Douglas rowdies were en-
gagged in cutting the harness and mutilla-
ting the flags belonging to the Republican
delegations. Several sets of new harness
were entirely destroyed.-Ksnton Rep.

A revolving scene occurred in school
room at Janesville, Pa, some days since.-
Mr.. Carey, one of the school directors, en-
tered the school room, took the Bible from
the teachers desk, tore the book in pieces,
and scattered it on the floor, trampling on it
ingreat rage. When the teacher, Mrs. Tor
bert, endeavored to stop him, he said, "Pll
take you by the shoulders, and put you out
of the school housel I have more right
here than you. I'll teach you that you
shan't read the Bible in school," He was
afterwards taken before Justice, and held
to bail for trial.

Remember. Freemen

The Democratic party as whole, are
the sworn foes of every measure of policy,
having for its object the protection of free
labor and the consequent elevation Of free
white laborers; and are tho fast friends Of
every measure of policy calculated to increase
the value of slave labor and to promote the
interests of shareholders. Free homes
protection to American industry, &c., are
all against the interests of the slave power,
aud the Democracy oppose them !-Register

"Niggers are never found in Democratic
professions, but always with the opposition.

Democrat.
The Richmond Enqlirer-good Demo-
ocratic authority-says that TWO HUN
DRED "NIGGERS" Joined in the Douglas
procession in that city, which escorted the
little giant from the depot to the hotel, a
few days ago. From this circumstance we
are bound to infer that what few Douglas
Democrats there are left in Virginia, are in
favor of "Nigger" equality.

Ague Cure, ,



Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
RemIttent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and bilious Fevers, indeed
ing In hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria OF MiasmRtic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these afilicting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach Of its premonitory symptoms tits not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
of Intermittents is that it contains no Quinine
mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttn-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the masmatic poison. A great variety of dsor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, GoUt Headache, Blind
ness TOothGche, Earache, CGtGrTh, Asthma, Pat
pitatioR, Painful affection Of the Spleen, HySteT-
ics Pain in the BoioeLs, Colo, Paralysis and De-
rdngeInent OF the stomach all OF whch, When
originating in this cause, put on the Intermittent
| type, or become periodical. This /" CURE expels
| the poison from the blood and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection 10
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will suffer from Inter
mttcnts if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.
