The Canvass for tho New state In
this County.

We presume that no reading and think
ing man or woman doubts for moment
the complete and overwhelming ratifica-
ton of the amended Constitution, on
Thursday, the 26th inst. 1t is hardly more
certain that to. morroW's sun will rise than
that the new Constitution will be carried
by an immense majority. We do not be-
liove that there is the ghost of likelihood
that one single solitary county will vots
ngaiustit. The only county that was ever
considered legitimately dCbatenble was
this county, but the result on the 9TH Of
February last settled beyond doubt what
would be the status of Ohio county on the
vote for tho ratification. 1t is now with
US as it is with all the counties simple
question of majoritYs. That we shall
have very handsome majority here can
not be questioned. We can point to many
men who voted for Mr.. Richardson on the
9th of February who will vote for the
amended Constitution on the 26ihinst. Who
can point out tho single case of one man
who voted for Mr.. Ross that will vote
nguinst tho Constitution? We should like
to know of solitary instance. We do not
suppose that Que such throughout the city
or county can be found. This shows how
the current has set aud is setting. 1t is
all one way. We must increase, the enc
my must decrease. There is no help for
the result, be it palatable or unpalatable
to thom. Tho nov State is fixed, fore
gone fact, just as much as it the votes had
been cast aud counted.
This view OF the case being correct, aud
we presume that no intelligent man will
deny it, what is the plain interest of such
a county as ours, aud of every citizen who
expects to live and do business in it in the
futpre3 We have shown before that Ohio
county will DO moro particularly depend.
snt upon the fostering favor and good
will OF the Now State than any other coun-
ty. She will Ongross moro of its leCisla-
ton than any ten counties Her interests
are almost purely artificial. Her hopes are
found upon her commerce and her manu-
features. Wheeling will be the metropolis
OF the New State. No other twenty thous.
aud people have so much to gain by the
New State. No other people have so much
to work for on the day OF election. No
other people ought to be go ambitious and
determined to give great majority. That
Wewill give majority cannot be intelli-
gently doubted, How great that majority
will be rests with the Now State men, We
can give three hundred with very little work:
We can give Eve hundred with ANYTHING
like al effort, aud We can give a thousand
majority with vigorous, ceuoe ulrated aud
perfectly organised determination. Which
of theSe thrSs shalt il be- We can give
five hundred or thousand just as We will
1T 1t is ALA questiopot work. In all large
towns and cities those who do lhe'vork In
canvass win on the day of election.
The splendid success by which Professor
Ross was elected was IA result of s,ead,.
wolf organised work. The same work va
are happy to know, is going on again in
increased proportions. Tho men of The
Fourth Ward, and OF the Fifth and Six.b |
aud of RitOhistoWn, arc all alive. Tb.y
will do nobly. What Of the other wards /. |
Arc the New State men OF the First Sec. |
ond, Third aud Seventh Wards doing their |
whole dusy1 Is every man among them
making himself committee of one in or.
der SEQ como one ottwo auti-New State &C. |
aud put documents In their
hands, aud In familiar conversation can,
Oass and meet all their possible objections.
This is the way to work, aud this is the
