Treason 10 vote Agninstnrovu,,.

There is printed up in Jefferson, Ash-
bula county, the homo of Joshua II. Gid
dings, paper called tho Sentinel 1t is
well known as the organ of Giddings and
tho radical Abolitionists in that section Of
tho State. The Sonhinei, early last spring
objected TO any so-called "Union" move
ment, which should commit it and its
sympathizers to any other than purely
Republican or radical Anti Slavery ticket.
1t seemed to hold the vigorous prosecu-
ton of tho war" the restoration Of the
Union, the return OF peace, and such mat
tcrs, rs OF minor important compared
with the nomination of a straight-out alb
olition ticket, upon straight out aboli-
tion platform.
The Sentinel is delighted with the tick
ct nominated by the Brough Convention
in this city on the 18th Of June. Brough's
Marietta speech, which the Convention,
by nominating him, adopted as a plat
form, suits the Giddings organ to IL
In its issue of June 24th it say in regard
to the Brough ticket:
To vote against this ticket, as matters
now stand, is to vote against the country.
1t is in fact TREASON at the balot-b box,
and neglect to vote it is half soag trea-
son.
This is at least frank and explicit. It
shows how the Broughities feel; what
pure disinteres,ed patriots they are; how
free from partisan bias, and how strong
claim they have to be considered no.
party men. Any body who votes against
their ticket, that is, votes for somebody
else than John Brough for Governor Of
Ohio, is guilty of treason at the ballot.
box-the worst kind of treason-and de-
serves to hang, according to the Abolition
cant, cas- high as Haman."
The Sentinel gives fair and timely
warning to all democrats and conserva.
tive Republicans, who have some hcsta-
tion in making up their minds to vote
for man for Governor who justfes tho
arbitrary arrest and banishment of Ohio
citizens without warrant or sanction of
Constitution or law: who spurns tho
Crittenden resolution and exults that il
was never accepted, and consequently re-
joices in the horrible civil war that has
followed, and openly takes the Disunion
position that he and his party friends,
whom he styles "The Northern people,"
can never consent to an adjustment of our
difficulties, or in other words, to peace
and reunion, upon the basis of the Con-
stituticn as originally formed and as it
exists at this nour. Men, who hesitate
about casting their votes for such 'loy-
al man as John Brough, ought, according
to their guardian up in Ashtabu.a, to have
cord tightcned around their necks, or
minnie balls put through their hearts. OF
course, if it ought to be done, all "loyal-
lists" who sympathize wi,hthe Ashtabu-
a philanthrophist and patriot, will do
their best to have it done.
Evidently he who is not for John Brough
is against him, and is therefore. traitor.
Is not that sound Abolition logic? some
obstinate Democrat, or Republican Con-
servative of the old school, may be so
blind as not "to see it," but his pcrcep-
ton would doubtless be wonderfully
qulckehed by the sight of halter or the,
prick of of bayonet. Statesman.

TllC ASSlICS.

The Aboltionsts are seeking to cover up
the issues involved in the appro aching cleo
tion by falschood and misrcprcsen tation -
They ch arge that Mr.. VALLANDrouAM voted
against paying tho soldiers; which is bascly
false. 1t is true he did not vote at all on the
passage OF tho bill; but tho reas on was that it
was numbered up with other propositions
which he conld not vote for. He has on diff
ferent occasions declard himself in favor of
paying the soldiers promptly. AS Governor
of Ohio he will have no control over that mat

The Democracy are in favor of all these
propositions, and tho abolitionists oppose
them. These are the issues involved. These
are the questions upon which the people are

What will the patriotic citizen think
when he learns that member of Mr.
Lincoln's Cabinct-a graduate of West
Point, and the only Cabinet officer bav-
ing military knowledge and experience
was down at Concord, N. H., addressing
n Radical Republican Convention on the
18th, while the rebels were ravaging Penn

Items From the Logan Gazette.

IF Brough's bowels are biblical bowels
that is, "bowels of compassion" he
must feel a ponderous weight of sorrow
for poor Dave Tod.
BnoUGH is printer by trade. Any one
might know that he's disciple of Gut
tenburg by looking at him.
THE scriptures tell us that David slew
the giant. Blu. now the tables are turn
ed, and the giant has slain David. No
difference. Either Of them would rather
get slowed than not.
LOST MAN-"The Democrat who w wont
vote for Vallandlgham. has been miss
ing ever since the llth of June. Dill
gent search has been made, but he can't
be found.
THE Cincinnati Gazette tells the truth
for once. 1t says the Democratic party is
"strong-a very strong-and GROW
ING party" Bully for us!
MANY Republicans call their candidate
Brow. No matter; they will not be al
lowed to brow-beat the Democracy.
ANY "Life-Long Dem ocrat," who is
willing to do dirty work, can find con-
slant employment, and big wages, by ap.
plication to the Republican State Central
Committee.
IF Democratic papers arc full of trea-
son, and of enmity to the soldiers, why
don't the Black Republican authorities
let the soldiers see them? The brave fell
lows would be sure to vote against the
party whose journals inculcate such doc
trincs. In fact, it is because Democratic
papers are true to the Constitution and
the Union, and friendly to the soldiers,
that they are kept out Of the lines of the
army.
BRoUGH's disappointments in the Dem :
ocratic party were moro numerous than
are generally known. First. he desired
a place in Folks Cabinet. and was refused.
Then he begged for tho Mission to Brazil,
and this was denied him. From that
time 10 this. he has not been known as q
Democrat. He is, and has been for
iilten years, the most venimous OF reue-
'gadcs.
The gifted and lamented Geo. II. Flood
twenty years ago, said to John Brough,
"you are mass of moral putrdity with
whom blush to maintain party con
nection." The gentleman who heard this
remark, and who reported it to us, says
that he is now convinced OF its truth, oven
if he had doubted it before.
GEN. Milroy, the man who was going
to use his soldiers to butcher Democrats,
is now almost unanimously voted cow

rascals who have made similar threats,

The New York Times, leading and
very ultra Republican paper, has yet the
Justice to discredit wholly the infamous
Black Republican lie concerning knights
of the Golden Circle in the Northwest
Nobody but fool ever believed, and
nobody but a knave ever circulated the
slander.
We observe that the election of Mr..
Valla ndigham is regarded as nearly
certain event by tho press of all parties
out of Ohio. The fact is, and it is so
considered, the political views of Mr..
Vallandigham are hardly in issue at all.
The issue is simply one between freedom
and Tyranny; and Mr.. Vallsndigham, as
the victim OF Despotism. is chosen by the
friends OF Liberty as the best representa-
tive of their cause. Let the rallying cry
be "Vallandighsm and Liberty"
