A call by the people, irrespective of
party, is made for q State Convention TO
assemble al Columbus, on Thursday,
September 5rh, to put in nomination true
Union men for the different State offices.
Let the people of Wyandot county move
in this matter. The Secession sympathi-

are working with might and main to e
lect it, Let the lovers Of their country
now rally, and vindicate the reputation
Of the State, by check mating these trait
ors in disguise.

County Convention,

It will be observed that call is r1ade
in our present number, for a Mass Con>
vention Of the people, to assemble at the
Court House, in Upper Sandusky, on
Saturday, the 3lst inst, TO nominate a
ticket composed of good Union men, to be
supported at the fall election, for he diG-
ferent county Offices. Let there be a
general turn out of the people in order to
give the strengthto the movement. In a
time of national peril, when at home,
we have those who sympathise with trai
tors. and inwardly rejoice at their sue
cess, it is high time Tor the true Union
men to rise in their might, and put upon
them the seal of their condemnation at
the ballot box. Let Wyandot county,
this fall, prove true to the Union, oI
which she constitutes part, by eleciing
none to office but those who are uncon
ditionally for the support Of the Govern
ment.
