TO THE PATRIOTIC CITIZENS OF
WOOD COUNTY.

The Chairman of the County Union Com
Inittee has issued his call for Convention,
so be held at Bowling Green on Saturday,
August ninth. The duty of the Convention
will be to elect four delegates to attend the
State Convention al Columbus, and fifteen
10 attend the Congressional Convention in
Toledo. The importance of caIm, deliber-
ate and united action, was never more need
ed than al the present time. We hope
therefore that every good citi2cn will be
at his post. Let each one feel as if the
success of this Government depended upon
himself alone; and let his own mature and
deliberate convictions guide him concern
ing the acts, character and capabilities OF
men. Then in their united capacity and by
the unbiased expression of their opinions it
may he said "Thc voice of the people Is the
voice of God" Fellow citizens, remember

Millions of fertile acres lie unbroken and

My DEAR SiR.- Yours OF the l2,h is just re-
ceivcd. The President hes not yet determined
how he viii district The State, under the Tax
Law hut blink 1t more probable, in the case
OF Ohio, that the new Congressional Districts
will be adopted than the old.
The appointing power rests with the Presi-
dent. All applications are fled in the Treasury
Department, and are here arra ged and brief
ed When the time for making appointments
arrives, shall consider each application, and
after consultation with the members OF Con
gress, will recommend TO She President the men
who seem To be, all things considered, bes, tit
ted for the positions. Ny recommendations,
with the papers in each case will te laid before
the President, and from them he will form his
own Judgment and make the appointments.
Yours very truly,
p. CHASE
A dispatch from Washington dated the 3lst
July, says;
Ii II understood that n plan mas neen auout
resolved upon to adopt new Congressional Dis
ricts, inetead of the ones from which the Rep
reschtatives are elected. as before, for the APP
pointmpnt of Collectors and Assessors under the
new tax law The first effect of this change
would be to render the Secretary and the Presi-
dent entirely independent Of recommendations
by Congressman, which have hitherto been re-
garded as almost equivalent to appointment
1t is said that Il plan has been under considera-
ton for some time, aud although not absolutely
decided, it is likely 10 be. that would make Sec
retary Chase almost absolute in the bestowa Of
this immense patronage.
For he further information of able-bodied
candidates for Offices under the Tax Law, we
would state, that all Of them who fail to get the
places they seek, can at any time obtain very
honorable positions. under the government by
applying at any OF the Recruiting Stations to
be found in every county in the loyal States.
One advantage in the latter positions is, that
neither they nor the manner Of obtaining them
need to involve any intrigue or loss of set-re-
spect. There is no reason why ererp man who
il in situation to devote his time to the gov
ernment service, should not find something TO
do.
