The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1861-09-06
TO the Electors OF Wyandot Co.

TO the Electors OF yvyandot Go.
At the time | announced myself an In
dependent Candidate for Representative, in
July last, the politicians, (tle bane of the
Republic,) had not got their political ma
chimes in working order Since then, how
ever, they have succeeded in repairing them,
by few extra cogs, placed in diagonal
position, to grind out new party issues, and
hiding the monsters under Union Screen
Each larty for itself has been enabled
from their hidden recesses) to place before
the public county ticket to be SUI ported
at tie October Election.
Under this state Of affairs it becomes ne
cessary that should make All exposition c!
my principles:
First and last, am an uncomrromising
Union man. My plalform-The Union,
the Constitution and the enforcement OF
the laws / hold ii to bc the duty ot every
patriot to assis; the Government, hy every
means in his power, 70 put down the rebel
lion now existing in the Southern States of
this Union. l believe that every man who
dos not come iorwar,.. in this great e,ner
Gcncv, and assist the Government in it,
struggle for existence, against the politi
clans is 4 nScre;tn and traitor at heart
| | believe that 10 put down ulis rebellion, it
is necessary to lay aside old party issues
and all chickering's of any party nature, and
all move forward and assist the Govern
nlent, to accomplish that most desired OBJ
ject, and bring the m;screants to con'ligll
punishment the agitators and sympathizers
of the North as well as the rebels of the
South.
Then in the language of Che patriot
Douglas, "W hen we shall have rescued the
Government and tlle country from its per
lis and seen IFS flag floating in triumph over
every inch Of American soil, it will then be
time enough tt inquire as to who aud what
has brought these troubles upon us. When
| we shall have Il country and Il Government
for our children to live in peace and happi-
ness, ii shall he time for each of us to re
turn to our party banners according to our
own convictions of right and duty"
AS TO State policy, would foster oul
inStitrfiors of charity and education, with
Iioel&lity but not eNtraragantly. I would
watch over the Treasury, and make no ap
piopiiations but such as We're actually ne
ecssary to carry on the regular operations OF
Government, and leoislate with an eye sin
ole to relieve the bulthcns of the people.
These are TIE principles and policy thai
| shall cndeavor to carry out, if elected
your Representative.
/ shall expect no man 70 vote for M
who does not agree with me in principle.
and policy, and who does not 20 for arrest
ing the sway of the politicians, through
whose instrumentality the country has beer
brought to the very'yerge of ruin, and wht
would now rather see our institutions per
ish, than themselves deprived of i'll gotten
gains, and the Offices go into the hands o
true and patriotic men They will ever hol,
the reins of Government, and subject TIL
country to convulsions and catastrophy, un
less the people take matters into their owl
hands, previous to its passing through th
Vaccinations of party machinery. Thi
can only be done by doing away with par
ty conventions, which are wholly governe,
by party cliques, and Tie electors determn
at the ballot box who shall fill the Offices
