A FEW PLAIN THOUGHTS ON
BROUGH'S REBELLION.

There are 80 counties in Ohio, all of
which combined elect State Treasurer,
each a Legislator, 80 County Treasurers,
and other officers, on Tuesday week.
These Treasurers will have charge of
several millions of dollars of the peoples
money, to be disbursed according to the
will of the people through County Com
missioners and Legislators, elected by a
majority Of the people. On the same
day we elect these men to take care of
our tax.money and apply it honestly,
we also elect a Governor to execute the
laws of the people. -
John BrOugh, as one of the candidates
for Governor, has declared at Columbus,
Alliance, New Philadelphia, and other
places, that the election of his opponent
instead of himself will breed civil war
in Ohio. He is seeking the votes of the
people, and yet threatens them that, if
they defeat him, he will, like JEFF. Davis,
disobey the majority, and bring about
civil war in Ohio. His county stumpers
take the same cue, and threaten civil
war, secession and rebellion against the
majority of the people in case the people
defeat Brough.
What must the people think of such
revolutionary threats. Are you not en-
dowed with minds of your own? Have
you not brains to judge for yourselves
who you will have for your servants?-
Does not the Constitution place all pow.
er in majority of the people I? VT
Brough and his stumpers say you must
elect him, or they will overthrow the
Constitution, disobey the laws, spurn
the will of the people, prevent evel y
county and State officer from being sworn
in, and leave your millions of tax money
to be grabbed up and run away with by
every rascal who can get hold thereof,
and finally Submerge the State into an
archy and ruin. Let the people rise in
indignation and overwhelm Brough and
his rebelious Stumpers at the ballot.box,
Put the mark of Caiu upon them for
threatening to overturn the Constitution
and laws of Ohio. Hiss them in scorn
out of every township and county in the
State, and rally to the support of the un.
terrified, prosecuted Democracy, who are
battling to uphold the laws, maintain the
Constitution and Union, and preserve
the peoples liberty.

sag You owe allegiance to the Gov.
ernment, not to this or that Administra.
tion.
1t is the great right of freemen to crit.
iciSe and condemn the Administration
of their servants, the Office. holders. -
The present race of Office. holders claim
to be the Government and not the peo.
ple's servants. You must take this con.
ceit out of them at The ballot box. Re.
member that the Government is the
voice of the people-thq Administration
is only the voice of their servants. You
owe allegiance to the Government. The
Administration owes allegiance to you,
and when it imprisons and banishes men
for upholding your rights, that is usur.
patton, despotism and tyranny, and the
peaceful way to get rid Of it is through
the ballot box.

popular man is dissatisfied because he
can't get in Office, and denounceS the ma.

the next election. But you never heard
. of man so far gone in madness and
folly and rebellion, as to threaten to burst
up the township, and convulse it in ci.

II such o man appeared and claimed
election on that ground, you would put
straightjacket on him, instead of
electing him, wouldn't you?
Ifso, then 60 to the ballot box and

elected Governor. Put d crazy jacket

The monster mass meeting at Barnes

LOOK OUT FOR THE ARISTO-
CRATS--VOTE THEM DOWN.

In Tusearawas County there are 200
school districts, each OF which is a SOW
ereign little nation, governing itself on
the subject of education, by the majori.
ty of soyereigns within it. Is not that
right! Does it not work well 3? Are
they not content that the majority rule /?
But suppose some ambitious teachers
should start the proposition that they
will not teach as the,majority wish.--
Suppose they threaten to overthrow the
majority, and get up little civil war in
each district to overthrow the majority
by force, and put the minority in powo
er. Would you submit to such dicta-
tion as that? Would you fall on your
bellies and tell the rebels they might
tramp on you? Certainly not.
H Well, that is just what John Brough
is now asking you to do on q large
scale. He and his stumpers threaten
civil war in Ohio if the majority don't
fall on their bellies and elect him Gov
eFnor. Every aristocrat in the State is
preaching this JEFF Davis traitor doc.
trine, to scare freemen out oftheir rights.
Remember these aristocrats at the bal
lot box. They are public enemies, try.
ing to steal away the peoples power,
and substitute monarchy over you.

General Rnrnside.

News reaches us by telegraph that
General BURNSIDE has resigned, and that
his resignation has been accepted. OF
course the abolitionists, whose tool he
has been, will now give him his reward;
and deal out to him retributive justice.
1t is fit and proper that he should be tor
mented by them. The Journal of Col.
umbus says:
1t is barely possible that Burnside
may be very great man; but, ifhe is
too great man to obey orders from his
superiorS in command, he is altogether
too great man to have command at
all. 'r. -tt. rAl .

Truth, Justice and the COnStitu-
ton.

For proclaiming the truth Democrats
have been arrested.
For advocating justice they have been
imprisoned.
For upholding the Constitution they
have been banished from the land.
Yet tthe Democratic party to-day, with
a Christian forbearance almost unparal-
leled, submit patriotically to these ont.
RACES, and cleave to the Union and Con.
stitution stronger than ever. Will you
not give US your support?

Two years of war under Abolition

"Peace on Earth and Good will
TO Man."

This is the motto of the Democratic
party. "War on earth and i'll will to
man" appears to be the motto of our
public servants at Washington. If you
are in favor of the old motto, vote the
Democratic ticket. If you prefer the
Improvement" vote for Brough, for he
said, according to the Tifin Advertiser,
that slavery must be put down, rooted
out, if every wife has to be made wild
ow and every child made fatherless."

"Brimg Back The ExiIed Patriot"

The Constitution says no man shall be
baniShed for any offence. Vallandig.
ham was, therefore, baniShed in viola
tion of the charter of American liberty.
Will you vote to bring back the exile to
the land of his fathers, or will you vote
to sustain the violation of the Constitu-
tion under which you hold all the privi.
leges you ever had? That is the ques-
tion you must meet at the ballot box.

THE PEOPLE ARE THE SOW
EREIGNS--ALL WHO OPPOSE
THEM ARE TRAITORS, AND
MUST BE PUT DOWN.

-
MUST BE PUT DOWN.
The principle Of the sovereignty of the
people lies at the bottom Of all our in
stitutions. 1t begins in the school dis
trict elections, extends to the township,
speeds through the county, encircles the
State, and takes in the United States.
Every act Of power is founded on the
great God given principle that the peo.
pie are the sovereigns, and the ballot.
box their rod of correction for uuruly
and wicked servants.
In the face of the people John Brough
and his men are Haunting tie insult that
they will not obey the popular will
They say they will not submit to the
majority. They threaten to rebel against
the sovereign people. They vow they
will secede as JEFF Davis and his traitors
did, if they can not have their own way.
They are now preaching rebellion in
Ohio against the sovereign beople.
Fellow citizens, you must stop this
industrious doctrine of resistance to your
will. You are the majority and have
the only right to rule within the Con.
stitution and Laws of the land. You
must crush out Brough and his rebel
liols conspirators at the ballot box
You must prevent them from seceding
and taking Ohio out of the Union and
beyond the Constitution. You must put
down these internal traitors now preach
ing jeff Davis doctrine of secession
against the sovereignty of the people.
The ballot box comes round once o
year to obey your will. On election day
every man is sovereign, and can, by
his vote, put down and kick out of, and
keep out of power those who violate the
public will, steal the public money, or
usurp power, or threaten to disregard
the Laws and Constitution. Brough
and his men and Stumpers threaten in
advance to upset your verdict, if it is
against them, and inaugurate civil war.
Are such men ft to trust with pow
er? Every man will say no, NO, NO.
Then down with them at the ballot box.
