70 the Republicans Voters ot
Delaware County.

The Democrats of this County, in
stead of calling convention and put
ting in nomination ticket to oppose
US this fall. hoping to distract, divide
and destroy the Republican organiza
ton, have brought out as independent
candidates for Auditor and Sheriff,
a member of their party and pro-
fesscd member of ours.
These two Offices have more influ-
ence and patronage with which to
build up their own party and weaken
their opponents, than all the other of
fees in the county combined, and if
the Democracy can by this kind of
Guerilla warfare succeed in filling
these Offices with their candidates,
they will take from the Republicans.
say 5000 of public printing, and send
travelling over the county for two
years. an officer who exerts more in
f1uence upon the politics of the coun-
ty, because of his greater intercourse
with the people, than any other one in
it.
Should we, the Republicans, per-
nit the designing men of the Demo-
cratic party to delude us into the sup
port of these candidates, the effect
will be not merely temporary. but
permanently to weaken our own or
ganfzatton. Mr.. Rhodes and, Mr.,
Waters, our candidates, have received
the nomination of a convention of
delegates appointed by the entire
body of Republicans of the county to
harmonize conflicting preferences
both are in every way well qualified
for the Offices for which they are NOM
mated justice to them justice to
those who nominated them and as
we believe, the present and future
good of our cause, requires of every
Republican an undivided support.
The result of the election will of
course, materially influence the more
important one following, for Presi-
dent
Let US urge upon you to see that
every Republican voter in your town
ship is at the polls, and SO far as pos
sible, to see that no personal preju-
dice influences to endanger the cause
we have at heart.

State JournG,

Connecticut, it will be remembered, was
warmly contested by the Democrats last
spring, when the Republican majority, after
one Of the hardest political battles ever fought
in the State, was quite meagre. They have
since claimed it as doubtful at least, while the
more sanguine class it among the Douglas
States. The elections for the selection of Sc
Presidential electionl took place the present
week, and the result shows that the tate is as
certain for Lincoln as is either Vermont or
Maine. As far as ascertained "a of % towns

The first account which reached the United
States after his capture by the commander Of
British war steamer and delivery over to
the Honduras authorities, represented that he
was to be shot. together with his first officer,
Col. Rudler. The next account stated he was
not to suffer death, but had been released
through British intervention and was about to
return home. The last report is that he has
been shot and buried while Col Rudler has
been sen fenced to four years imprisonment

Back again--AuOthor Southern Wrong.
Our esteemed fellow -townsman, Mr.. A. J.
Roe, who has long been known as one of our
most worthy and respected citizens, has return
ed, and is zone in our midst"
It will be remembered that Mr.. Roe and bis
interesting family left us some six months ago,
intending to make Texas bis permanent home.
After spending some time in examining the
country, he concluded that call is not gold tina
glitters," that much that had been said Of that
locality had no reality, and determined to look
elsewhere. But committee Of 6reeaters, in
his neighborhood, resolved to interrupt his de-
parture, the fact Of his being a Northern Man
being prima facia evidence that he was a cut
throat and murderer-fit only for "treason,
stratagem, and spoils," and should, therefore,
be chung by the neck until he was dead"
without SO much as asking "God to have mercy
on his soul" Mr.. Roe was arraigned, and an
investigation had, which elected nothing, ex-
cept that he had formerly lived in Ohio. No
proof was addueed that he was an agitator, or
had uttered q single sentiment against the "pe-
culiar institution" His only offence was, in
having come from North of "Mason and Dix
on's Line" Finally, he was released, on the
promiae of a relative to become responsible
for his good behavior while he remained in
that vicinity.
Such are some of the beauties of an ''insti-
tuition" that dsgraces our country, and OPP
presses all within its reach, whites as well as
blacks.
We give the facts as they occurred, forhear-
ing comments, preferring that our readers

1t is astonishing. in State like this, what
formidable aggregate is made up oy few
voters absenting themselves from the polls in
each township. As an illustration look at the
Western Reserve. In the counties comprising
the Reserve the vote of Fremont in 1856 was
39,7I5; Buchanan 1S,440. In the same
counties in 1858 the vote for Dennison wa
32,293; for Ranney ls,055. Showing an ag-
gregate falling off of 7,807-of whom 1872
were Republicans, and eniy 385 Democrats
The same comparison would hold good
throughout the State, and it makes showing
that speak in strumpet-tones to the Republican:
to bestir themselves and rally out all their vo
ters lest from over confidence and want o
proper action they suffer a disastrous defeat.
