cratic member from Ohio who refused to
.Yote for Southern, .disunion Know
Nothing for Speaker at the commence
FnIent of the last session. In this manly
act he incurred the hatred of the leaders
of his party, but won the respect of the
people of his District, The refusal of
Allen to vote with his colleagues, for
Southern Know Nothing, defeated the
scheme Of fusion between the Democrats
and Americans, and finally elected Pen.
nington Speaker. AS Hart, the Repub-
lican candidate, is a man of superior
ability, and very popular, we think he
Twill be elected. The fact that Allen
tehowed himself honest will lose him
many votes, as such trait of character
lis wholly inconsistent with the necessi-
! ties of the party, We look confidently
| for gain in this District. '-:.o.

! Lucas, &c. james NJ. Ashley is the
Republican candidate in this Distrist
He is the present member, and one Of
! the best men in the Delegation. The
I District is a very close one-usually
Democratic, But with the talent, energy
and known character of Mr.. Ashley, and
with the notorious j. B. Steadman as
/ his opponent, there can be no doubt as to
Fthe result. Ashley will be elected by an
increased majority. ..-..rs.
Sixth District. ...
4 Brown, &c. No nomination has vet
] been made by the Republicans in this
! District. tits now represented by How
ard, Democrat. And although he has
been defeated for denomination, and
rampant Breckinridge man nominated
in his place, yet we suppose the Dcmoc-
facy will 60 it. blind and carry the Dis
trict, Republicans there think that with
a good candidate they can succeed. We
| do not think SO, and therefore give the
District to the enemy. 1's3
Seventh District.
| Warren, &c. Thos. Corwin is the Re
publican nominee in this District, and
We, suppose most of our readers have
heard of Tom Corwin. r. He will be re-
elected, as matter of course, and by the
largest. majority of any man outside of
the Western Reserve. ~, ,r,. ...
/ Clark, &c. Samuel Shellabarger has
| been nominated by the Republicans of
this District as the successor of Hon. B.
Stanton, who declined are-election. He
is man of ability, and sound Repub-
lican. There is no doubt at all of his
election.
Ninth District.
Wyandotte, &c. John Cary, an hon
est farmer and earnest Republican, the
present member, has been renominated,
and will be elected, as he deserves to be.
He is proverbial for his integrity and
practical good sense, and has the unre-
served confidence of his constituents
The District is close one, usually Civ
ing Democratic majority. But the
personal popularity of MIR. Cary carried
him through at the last election, and
will do so again. The Democracy were
in hopes that he would peremptorily
refuse to serve another term, knowing
that he desired to retire, at the close
of the next session, in which event they
had strong expectations Of carrying the
, District. But when the Republican
Convention renominated him by accla-
nation, his fidelity to the cause overcame
his personal wishes, and he accepted
We have no doubt of his election. -a
Tenth District o1 r. ..s,-@ - iaE
Ross, Gallia,, Lawrence, &c. The Re-
publicans have nominated Hon. Carey
A. Trimble for reelection in this Dis
trict. As in many others, there being
no hope of defeating him by straight
contest, the leaders Of the Bell and
Douglas parties have engineered third
party movement to accomplish their pur-
pose. But it won't win. The people
are getting tired of trickery and shams,
They will have open, fair dealing. o.
F. Moore, of Portsmouth, is the instru-
ment in the hands of the Democrats to
effect the defeat of Trimble. But Mr..
Moore is too. we'll known now to do
much mischief. Disappointed in his
aspirations through the Republican
party, he lends himself as tool to the
Democrats, to crafty spirit of revenge
for fancied neglect, and because he can
not get the Office himself, hopes, in the
bitterness of his soul, to defeat better
man. The motive is utterly contempti-
BILE, and can only find favor in minds
like his own, and these, happily, we
think are not numerous.
Eleventh District. f
i With V. B. Horton as the Republican
candidate, this District ought to be, and
we believe can be, redeemed. We have
no desire to say aught disrespectful of
his competitor To the personal slang
resorted to by the Democratic press we
cannot descend. But neither Mr.. Mar
tin himself, nor any friend of his, will
ever ask the people of this District to
canvas the ability, the mental training,
the business capacity and habits, the ex-
,,orinnna the estahlished character the
