Pennsylvania.

All efforts at fusion in New York hay
ing failed, the managers are turning their
attention to Pennsylvania as forlorn hope.
They are attempting TO repeat the same
game by which they took the State away
from Fremont four years ago. To accom-
plsh this, it is indispensable that they
should carry the October election for Fos-
ter, the Democratic candidate for Governor.
The two wings of the Democracy are, with
few exceptions, united upon Foster, and
the aim is to concentrate upon him the
Bell Everett vote. Money in considerable
sums have been sent into the State from
New York, and trading, fusion and venal-
ty will be rife until the day of the cleo
tion.
But despite these efforts, the Repubh-
cans are confident of carrying the State
both in October and November. Western
Pennsylvania, which four years ago, gave
immense majorities for Fremont, has since
greatly increased in Republican strength,
and is not only thoroughly aroused, but
fully organized. In Eastern Pennsylvania
the Republicans were without any efficient
organization in 1856. The case is very
different now. The Lincoln men are at
work vigorously and Systematically. There
are no defections from the ranks of those
who voted for Fremont, while there are
immense accessions from those who voted
for Fillmore, including scores of their most
prominent and influential leaders. With
only one exception the entire Fillmore
press of 1856 is openly enlisted in the
Republican cause. Our friends in Eastern
Pennsylvania are in much better state of
preparation for the contest than they were
four years ago. Besides it must be re-
membered that even then the Democrats
carried the State election by very slight
majority, gained by the preparation Of
the most Infamous frauds in the city Of
Philadelphia. These frauds have been ex-
posed, not only by the Covode Iuvestiga-
tion, but by Judicial trial in the localities in
which they were committed. Their per-
petrators have been discovered and con-
victed, and there in on danger that the
same outrages will again be attempted
But if attempted, they cannot be success
ful, for the Republicans are on the look out
for them. .
A good Democratic citizen Of our coun-
ty, by the name of Gruff, moved to Mis-
souri, few months since and rented a farm
He had not been there long before it was
ascertained by the so called Regulars that
he was from the North. He was there
upon politely requested to leave the State,
to which he very good naturally demurred,
informing them that he was good Dem
ocrat, had always voted that ticket, and
alwaas expected to do SO. But 'you are
from the North" said they, "and to the
North you must tramp as fast as you
please He left, and it is needless to add
that he is how doing good service in the
ranks of freedom.-Montezunaa Repu6-
tican.

swThe editor of the New York Tribune, who
has Just got back off tour through his State,
says: I'VE. have travelled widely in our own
State, without being able to find County in
which the Republicans are apathetlc or ipdif-
ferent. In the four North Eastern counties,
they are holding not less than twenty meet
ings per week, and their spirit was conspicu-
ously eviHced in the great Platisburg gathering
of last Thursday. Every county on Lake Cham
plain and the St. Lawrence will give decided
increase on its Republican vote of 1856. through
that was very large one. Old st. Lawrence
is arousing herself through al her broad extent
and will give Lincoln and Hamlin thousand
more votes than she gave Fremont, while Frak-
lin will give them five hundred more. Some local
heart-burnings in jefferson and Lewis now NIL
the efficiency OF Republican canvass therein
but these, We trust, will be worn away any for.
COTTON as the struggle proceeds. Never did any
party hold larger or more frequent meetings
than the Republicans are now holding in al
parts of our State, nor with happier effect.

Insult to Southern Ladies and
Gentlemen.

In view of the expected passage of party
of Southern ladies and gentlemen, excursionisis
to Niagara Falls and other places, hand bill of
which the following is a c.py, was circulated
through the town of Marshall, Michigan:
Republicans to the Rescucl-Two hundred
Southern Shareholders, with their slaves, will
pass through this Monday afternoon and will
dine at the depot. This fragrant violation of
the laws of this State approved February Is,

were caught That hand bill was gotten up bv
Democrats with intention TO circulate tbrouoI

sionlsts, but the Republicans found out the plot,
the Wide Awakes were on hand and on the ar
rival of the cars 30 guarded them against those
Democratic rowdies that not hand bill found
its way into the cars, and not an excursionist
was aware of the existence of such document
until the lie that were SO circulated appeared in
the Democratic papers.

Meeting at Nashville.

The Republican Meeting at Nashville on Sat-
urday last, was good one. The Republicans
in the western part of our county, like theii
brethren in other portions of it, are made of the
right stuff. The attendance is pronounced the
largest they have had there since 1o4O. Good
speeches were Made by Messrs. KIRK, Nell
vAIsE, and HERN. The "Zoaares," a fine COM
pany, numbering over 100 members were out
in their uniforms and made fine show. In
the evening over 100 wide Awakes" marched
in the evening by Mr. HERN, of Wooster. The
Nashville Band, and excellent institution. gave
out some good music on the occasion.

The Douglas Democracy had pole
raising at Flushing, Belmont County, on
the 18th inst. In the evening, after the
Douglas worshippers had dispersed, the Lin
coin boys raised a pole, after which they
adjourned to the school house, where
speeches were made by DR.. j. S, Bsily, o..
s. Holloway, and others, Mr.. Halloway
making his first public avowal of Repub-
licanism. This was received with cheers,
as was also a similar declaration from Mr..
Kirk that he had renounced bogus Democ-
racy and intended to vote the Republican
ticket. A Lincoln Club was organized
and over sixty names recorded.

Republicans.

Whenever you hesr Loeofoco charging Hell
MICK with voting for the Edwards Bill, charge
it upon them that the same was voted for by
Cox and VALLASDINGHAM, two of theirpet Con-
gressmen in Ohio; that it was voted for by a
majority of the Locofoeos in the lower House oi
Congress; that it passed the Senate where they
have majority. and that it was approved by
the Postmaster General, and signed by Presi-
dent Buchanan, and that it was a just and prop
er measure. and that no others than the far-see-
ing, sharp-sighted Locofocos of the 18th Con-
gressional District, ever saw anything wrong
in it, and they did not, until it occurred TO them
that they could make political capital out of it
Have any of them ever condemned Cox and
Vallandingham for voting for it. Not one.

The Douglas and Bell Fusion i'm
Georgia.

Is an official acknowledgment of the
weakness of both factions throughout the
Cotton States, and the effect, after the i'm
mediate sensation passes away, will be any
thing but animating. 1t is confession Of
incompetency, and an advertisement of po-
litical harlotry. The Enquirer says the
news should send thrill of Joy through.
out the land. 1t will, on the contrary,
send sense of disgust all over the coun-
try. Such fusions are made to be beaten.
They are invariably preliminary to disaster,
they are subsequent to despair. When the
fusion was being talked of, before the con-
summation, the Rome (Ga.) Courier, one
of the organs of the Bell party, said Of
the proposition to fuse:
"Such shameless, unprincipled, insult
ing proposition was never before made to
honest men. We look in vain for suitable
terms with which to denounce it. Upon
the part of the Douglas faction it is con-
fession of their utter imbecility, is prompt
ed by the fear of the overwhelming and
merited defeat which awaits them, and
evinces disregard, yes, a contempt for our
honor, honesty, and fidelity to principle,
which should meet with nothing but indig-
nation and scorn. We could not agree to
such coalition without surrendering those
principles for which we have contended for
years, and which we have regarded as es-
sential to our interests, our safety, and our
equality in the Union. We could not prove
so faithless to our section, SO recreant to
our duty as to join those whom we have
always denounced as our worst enemies, and
who are striving to put in power a party
whose political heresies are more danger
GUS to the South than the doctrines of the
Black Republicans" S."

DEAD BY HYDRoHoBIA.-A case OF TINS
terrible disease occurred in Detroit last
weed. Patrick O'Donnel, aged 22, a
moulder, working for Jackson & Wiley,
was bitten in the Eand by a little dog sup
posed to be mad, though O'Donnel insist
ed that the dog was not mad and paid no
attention to the wound, which soon healed.
Last week he showed symptoms of hydro
phobia, and in day or two fell into the
most distressing spasms, in which he would
jump and bite at everything near. He
begged for death to bring relief to his
misery. He was bitten in May last last !;
and died on the 2s Of September.

New York Germans for Lincoln
ASSISTANT MARsHALs

New York Germans for Lincoln.
The Abend Zeitung, referring to the dis
gust occasioned among the German Dem
ocracy by the fusion scenes of the Douglas
leader, says:
As Scrogg, Dodge and thousands of 9th.
er American will vote for Lincoln not be-
cause he is an "American,' but in order
to express their disapprobation of the un
scrupuous sale of their party By its lead
ers, so thousands of German Democrats
will vote for him, and for similar reasons
The other day a"Democratic Lincoln Club
was formed in one of the upper Wards oi
this city, consisting of forty German citi
zens, who formally declared their inten-
tion of voting for Old Abe, instead of 90
ing it blind for the confusion ticket. We
might mention other similar cases.
Scarcely single German Republican
Ward meeting is held at which a number
of Democats do not have themselves en-
rolled in the list of Republican voters. In
1856 barely one-half or two-fifths of the
naturalized Germans cast their votes for
Fremont; but in 1850 from two-thirds to
hree-fourlhs-in number from eight to
nine thousand-of the German voters Of
the city of New York will cast their suf
frages for Lincoln. Fremont's entire vote
in the city was less than eighteen thousand
Lincoln's will not be less than thirty five
thousand.

To the Polls! To the Polls!

Republicans of Holmes county,
are you prepared and ready for
the discharge Of your duty as pat
riotic and good citizens on Tues
day next9 It is probably known
to you that a desperate effort is
making to defeat a part of our
State Ticket by all the fag ends Of
the opposition Know-Nothings,
Irish Catholics, Douglas and Breck-
enridge men. To secure a certain
and complete triumph, EVERY RE
PUBLICAN vote in the State should
be polled next Tuesday. Are you
prepared to have this done in
your several townships? Have
you list of all your voters?
Are you SURE that You will get
them all to the place of voting, if
it shall happen to be rainy, un-
pleasant day? Have you arrang-
ed your challenging committees?
Secure your best and most intelli-
gent men for this duty. Have you
carriages provided to carry the
sick, the aged, and. the LAZY, if any
such exist, to the polls? Have you
provided tickets for every election
precinct, and are you SURE they
will be there, and in the hands of
the right men? If these things
are not all arranged, let US urge
upon you that you delay no long
er, but do them at once, and do
them thoroughly. You may rely
upon your enemies being ready
for the occasion. Their discipline,
from the nature of the materials
that compose their forces, has al
ways been better than ours. But
it should be so no longer. If free
labor is better for people and a
state than slave labor; if free in
stitutions are better than slave in.
stitutionsthen a free people should
not fail to take such action as will
be certain to secure their ascend
ency.
at is not to be disguised that 6
portion of our opponents are fiat
tering themselves that they can de
feat ourState and Electoral tickets
and it is the duty of every well
wisher of our cause to do all he
can to secure their triumph. Ohit
is the leading Republican State 0
the West. For six years is ha;
not wavered in its devotion to tht
right. Time has added strength
to the conviction that our cause i,
just, and must finally prevail Th'
result of a sweeping triumph OF
the 9th of October will be fell
throughout the Union. Vernon
and Maine have spoken in thun
der tones. All the efforts of oul
enemies have but increased oul
heavy majorities in those States
