The names Of candidates for the several
Offices were then announced to the con-
vention, and the nominating committee re-
tired for consultation.
Owing TO the crowded state of the
room, many persons not being able to OBJ
tain admission, the convention adjourned
to the grove on the north side of Court
House.
Mr.. Bucklaud, from the committee on
resolutions, offered the following:
Whereas, formidable and most unjus
tifable attempt is being made to divide
our glorious Union and destroy our Ma
tiona Government, and whereas our Ma
tionaI Forts, Arsenals and other property
have been siezed, and our National FLAG
insulted by armed traitors, therefore.
RESOLVED, That it is the duty of every
patriot and true lover of his country, tC
sink the partizan and stand by the Gov
eminent with all his influence and means
RESOLVED, That the time for talking
about compromise is past, never to return
until treason is entirely subdued; in the
language of the eloquent patriot, Holt,
Of Kentucky, compromise is ga word
which can now be uttered only by disloy-
al lips, or by those speaking openly aud
directly in the interests Of the rebellion" b"
So long as the rebels have arms in theiI
hands there is nothing to compromise.
RESOLVED, That we the Union men o.
Ssndusky County, in Convention assem-
bled, do tender TO the Government anC
the country our aid and best exertions t
sustain the Government 10 its efforts L
crush this most wicked rebellion; and fo
that purpose we do pledge our lives. ou
property and our most sacred honor; ant
we cordially invite all citizens of Saudus
ky county without distinction Of party Il
unite with us to carry out this patriot,
determination.
The Convention was then addressed b.

the resolutions were unanimously adopt

ssCraven spIrits.o

Under this heading the Reading Pa,
Journal has some remarks in reference to a
peculiar class Of men, which are quite as
appropriate to this latitute, we blush to
say, as to the Capital of Berks. The Jour
nal says:
We are told, though we can hardly be-
lieve it, that there are a few craven spirits
about this town who already begin, in
whispers to count the cost of war with a
view to submission-to talk about what the
country is suffering as reason for aban-
doniug our rights, our honor and our man
hood. Had such creatures lived in the
days of the Revolution, they would have
been tories. They regard mere pecuniary
prosperity as of more Importance than free
dom, principle, and all that true men hold
dear.
If creatures like these would but consid-
er, they would preceive that the only fu-
turc physical prosperity of the North lies
in the maintenance of her rights; that to
show wo are towards now, would crush us
forever. Is any one shallow enough to
suppose that two confederacies could exist
where one we're the United States, except
by maintaining immense standing armies
and by interminable war9 Let the South
suppose it has conquered the North, and
we could only live by submitting to be
their slaves. Are we unworthy the name
of Americans9 Have we none of the espirit
of 10? Are the words: honor, right, pat
riotism, mere empty soundsG To some
few they may be such; but not, we believe,
to the majority of our citizens of every par
ty. The North will fight the battle out,
and the North will conquer peace, and a
peace that will be lasting. Let it be done
now-now that the South has begun the
contest Are they better men than we;
have they more courage, more endurance
are they willing to make greater sacrifices
We trust not.
Let the submissionists show their colors
Jet them come out openly and tell the
world that they are towards; that they are
willing to bow their necks to the Southern
yoke, and then let them be brought out
and shipped out of country of which they
are unworthy. Or, if they are fond Of the
rule of shareholders, they ought to have a
coat of black and be passed over to tho
South as contraband.
Some of our beauties are in the habit o
perambulating the County and pouring in
to the ears of farmers, and in fact, of any
body who will listen to them, tales Of tn
Republicans bringing on this War; of tn
expense of it, etc The man who will tel
such stuff is not good citizen. We ad
wise every farmer to kick from his premise
the creature who at this time is not willin
to sink country in party. He is unworth
of association with honest men.
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1861-09-06

Our country is now sorely pressed by foes
by traitorous foes in the South and their abet-
tors in the North.
Every word now uttered in the North depri-
eating the justice of this war against rebellion
every word spoken or printed against the ca
pacity or integrity of those who now admins
ter the Government--coolst the ardor ofthe peo'
pie, Injuries the credit of the Government, pre-
vents enlistments, and directly aids the traitors
Therefore every man who utters that which
derogates the Government or those who admin.
lister it, is tory in fact and helping to put down
our free institutions.
Every man who is striving to divide the peo-
pie into parties the question of supporting
the war-every man who now proposes CON-
promise to obtain peace-is in sympathy with
traitors and an enemy of the Constitution un-
der which we have so happily lived.
You will hear some blinded partizan exclaim
about some imaginary or real error committed
by the President or some member of the Cabi-
net, and claim that as a justification for his sup
port of rebellion, an excuse for forsaking the
Stars and Stripes, and for subverting or chang
ing the Constitution to suit the demands of
traitors.
Suppose the Administration has committed
blunders. This is a government of the people
and you have duty TO perform for yourself
and remember that the wrongs or errors of 9TH
ers can never justify you in going over to oui
country's enemies.
! If your Government is in danger, and yo'
know it is your first duty is to use all means il
your power to save it; when it is safe, turn ou
the recreant rulers, if any, and call them to ac
count. But while the battle is raging, it is no
the time to cavn about the merits of the Gener
al in Chief.

New York, Sept 2.-It has been detorm-
ined by the Government to hold the posi-
tion at Cape Hatteras, although the orig
inal intention was to destroy and abandon
the works; but now it will be made rem
devious for army and naval forces. This
expedition is but the commencement of
operations for which the navy department
has made ample preparations and which
will be rapidly developed.
The propeller Herbert, arrived yesterday,
bringing as prize small sloop taken the
day previous. She is heavily loaded with
revolvers, primers, and ammunition, includ-
ing 1000 bbls of percussion caps, blankets,
surgical instruments, medicines, ect. She
was worked by three men one of whom
escaped to the Virginia shore, the others
were taken prisoners. The soop is said to
have taken on the freight in Washington.

Hannibal, Mo-, Sept. 4.-Corporal Dix,
of the Sd Iowa Regiment, while out on a
scout with five men near Kirksville last
week, was surrounded in q farm house, while
at dinner, by twenty sccessionists, who
demanded the surrender of his party. This
was refused, and the secessionists made an
attack on them. The fight was severe, but
the Federal troops maintained their position
in the house, driving the assailants from the
ground, with a loss of seven killed and four
wounded. Corporal Dix on the Federal
side, was killed, but none of the others were
hurt.
Washington, Mo-, Sep. Last night
sixteen Of the U. S. Reserve Corps in this
county were ordered to arrest a violent Sc
cessionist living some ten miles west Of
here. On approaching the house the lights
were put out, and the owner knowing their
intentions fired double barrelled shot gun,
killing two ofthe Reserve Corps. They burst
open the door and killed him and another
man who fred and ran. There is camp
Of secessionists in that neighborhood, few
miles from where the above mentioned oc-
currence took place. Seventy of the Re-

St. Louis, Sept. 2.-The Democrat has
advices direct from Gen. Thompson's camp
at Benton, Scott county, to the effect that
all the rebels heavy baggage at that and
other points was being hastily removed TO
New Madrid, and that Thompson's and
Hardee's forces would attempt to effect a
junction back on Skiestown, the ter
minus of the Cairo and Fulton railroad
where it is supposed they would make a
stand and give Gen. Prentiss battle. The
combined strengthsso ssof Thompson's, Hardee
and Pillows forces are estimated at thirty
thousand.
Reports we're current yesterday and TO-

THE ISSUE MADE UP.

A portion of the leaders of the Democratic
party in this State have resolved to try whether
they can keep together their followers upon the
platform of opposition to the Government in its
attempt to restore its authority and maintain
the Union. They claim to be Union men, but
they are opposed to maintaining the Union by
opposing arms to the arms of those who would
destroy it, They discourage enlistment or op-
pose it altogether. They talk of compromise
with rebels in arms who have repeatedly deelar-
ed that they will accept of no terms short Of sep
aration. They secretly and some of them open
ly rejoice when the Government is defeated
They are striving to take away from the Gov
eminent that support of the people which is its
very life blood They are the men who with a
base hypocrisy as loathesome as il is barefaeed
call themselves Union men. If all the people
were Union men after this pattern then all hope
Of the Union were lost These liars, traitors
and hyPocrites viii draw away after them con-
siderable number of men whose native instincts
would prompt them to stand by the government.
They lack the courage to break the yoke which
their leaders have placed upon them. For them
we have charity, but for their leaders who know
what traitorous work they are engaged in, we
have only contempt and condemnation.
The times win try mems souls. 1t will now
be seen what material they are made Of Trai-
tors, sneaks and towards will now show their
cOloTs.
There is always a class Of men who stand by
the true and the right when it is successful or
when it is approved by the men who lead them.
The attempt TO eyade the issue is useless. To
call themselves Union men and refuse. to stand
by the Government which alone can sustain the
Union Is a pretence too shallow 10 be Of any
use. Indeed the mask win speedily be east OF
and the traitors will come forth in their true
c0lors. Well, let them 20 on. A few steps
more and the great mass Of Union men will give
the whole tribe 10 understand that their only
aafe residence is among the rebels who are
standing m arms against the Government.
Treason in the north has nearly rsn its course.

peser,lnr the sinking ship.

The reliable and uncompromising democ-
racy of the editor of the Cleveland Plain
deaIer-J. w. Gray-has never been ques-
toned. When the soundness Of other men
was questioned, be was always deemed
above suspicion. And true to his old rule
-"the party right or wropg"-he put up
the democratic" ticket at the head Of his
paper and accepted the platform, though il
was evident it did not suit him. But the
Committee, at their last meeting in Colum-
bus, unmasked the battery concealed under
their convention platform, and thereupon
the Plaindeaier pulls down the ticket, and
repudiates the platform and the men nom
mated under it, or over it, until they also
repudiate it. In speaking of this move
ment he says:

Important and Direct from Georgia.

By gentleman who left Savannah, Ga,
last Wednesday, says the Chicago Journal,
we learn that the most deplorable state of
affairs exists in that section. A reign of
terror, worse than that of the French Revo-
luton, hangs over the people, like sable
pail. Spies and informers have but to in-
dicate an individual against whom they
have personal hate, and the secret clubs
forthwith ostracise or hang him.
A poor German, against whom one Of
the Golden Circle had a spite, was informed
against for selling to negro bottle of
whisky, and he was ordered to leave in
twelve hours. Not obeying, he was seized
and hung in front of the Pulaski House, in
the presence of two thousand spectators, on
Tuesday last.
British subjects are impressed into the
rebel service Forced levies are made up
on them, and British Consuls are not recog-
nized, as they are accredited to the United
States. The reign of terror is supreme.
Our informant is an Englishmen, and
reached this city, via Nashville, last even

Baltimore, Sept. 4-The Petersburg Er-
press of Monday, gives an account Of the
taking of Fort Hatteras, and says a portion
of the wounded escaped on a steamer. 1t
gives the number of killed and wounded at
about eighty, and says that those who es-
capped from the fort contended that tho
magazine exploded, but the Express doubts
the story, and adds our latest advices from
North Caroinaaro up to o'clock last night,
at that hour it was known in Goldboro that
formidable Yankee feet was in sight of
Fort Macon, which commands the entrance
to the Beaufort Harbor, and is spoken of as
tho most formidable fortifcation on the
coast of North Carolina. An attack was
expected Monday morning. The garrison
is well prepared for the assault, and will re-
sist to the last The excitement through
out North Carolina and Eastern Virginia is
intense.
1t is rumored that Washington, N. c.,
has been destroyed by the Yankees.

cognize the Democratic MssseHgeT their organ ant
that the has pursued is hereby approved and
is the duty Of every Democrat to maintain and support it
The above is one of the resolutions passed by
the so called Democratic County Convention
1t will be noticed that the Fremont Courier, the
German Democratic paper published by DIR
Wilmer, was shown the cold shoulder. Ant
why was it? 1t was not because of the Couri
er's ultra opposition to the war, (for that just
suits them,) but because of the independent
stand that paper took against some the Dem.
ocratic nominees last fall. The insult was de-
liberately intended, but we presume the Doctor
will as deliberately pocket it," and kiss the
hand that smites him.
