Beware OF PickpOckets.

The city papers are cautioning the people
to beware of pickpockets. This is right.
Wo hope to see general onslaught mado
on thieves. The people have a chance to
to clean out a goodly number of them
on the Second Tuesday of October. and
we hope they will embrace the opportu-
nifty. BY the way. we can't discover the
consistency Of the abolition papers in
making war upon petty thieves and at
the same time covering up tho crimes OF
those who rob the Government OF thous.
ands and millions.

The Can mpaign In Ohio.

No person has ever witnessed n more
vigorous campaign in this State. The
able and eloquent PuoH is stirring the fires
of liberty deeper and brighter than ever
witnessed since the days of the Revolu-
tion. He is arrousing the people to the
stnpendous interests at stake, and if GoD
spares HIS most valuable life to complete
tho struggle in Ohio, all future generations
will remember him with lasting gratitude
for his brave defense of human liberty.
Hon. s. S. Cox and many others are
also doing most noble and valiant service.
Let the good work go on; but the people
must remember ,hatfhey. too. must work.
Struggle for your rights, and the glorious
old Constitution Of our Fathers. Should
we each spend many days from our busi-
ness. and many dollars in money. we will
all be gamers by restoring peace and Un-
ion to our distracted country. and secur-
ing liberty to ourselves and our children.

The Reason Why.

We are frequently asked why the alb.
clifton papers publish such unblushing
falsehood about Democrats and the Dem
oera,ic party. The answer is easily given.
Large quantities of their papers go the
army, from which Democratic papers are
excluded, There are nearly four hundred
copies of the Holmes county Republican
paid for by tho abolitionists of this coun
ty and sent weekly to the army, while
the FARMER is not allowed to go there;
hence the Republican can circulate any
number Of falsehoods without fear of hav-
ing them contradioted.

John Brough said in his Marietta
speech. that he "spuned the Cri,tenden
Compromises" Everybody knows that
if that Compromise had been adopted
we would have had no war.
John Brongh said at Hamilton, But
Ter county. that he was not in favor of a
restoration of tho Union. unless the Se-
ceding States should altar their Consti.
tutions to agree with the notions of the
radicals of New England States. The

very is wiped ont" The Union is secon-
dary to the freedom OF the Negro
The Democratic party urged the adop,
tion OF the Crittenden proposition, and
are in favor ofa restoration Of the Union.
They believe this Government can exist
as our Fathers organized it.

OhiO's Proportion OF the War
Debt. -t

Ohio's proportion of the war debt. says
the Logan Gazette, il estimated at TW O
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS! We used to hear great
deal about the debt of Ohio. 1t had hung
over tho people for years, and was deemed
a burden. How much was it? About
fourteen millions of dollars. We have
had two years and half OF abolition rule,
and NOW our debt is two hundred and
fifty millions This is a MOI tgage upon
every house and lot, upon every acre OF
of land in the State, just as effective as
if it were written. signed, sealed and
delivered, and duly recorded And there
!s no help for it: the homesteads Of one
half of the people will be sold to pay that
Indebtedness. II will be exacted in in
stalmcnts; called taxes; but it must be
paid: and your property will go to pay it.

Case OF Abolition Ecar.--
for KOX.

John Dwyer, who lives in Clarke Co.,
was arrested by an old lady, Margaret
B, white woman of African poll
tics-under the peace warrant law, for
fear of injury to her person and property
The danger of her property, as she al
legged, was that he had driven her old
mare out Of his wheat field. The case
was first tried before Squire Randall. ol
Pleasant township. an Abolition Justice
who bound the defendant, a Democrat
over to the Court of Common Pleas.
The case was tried about two week,
ago before Judge White. John 9. Mil,
Ter, a Republican Prosecuting Attorney
urged with great ability, the holding o
the defendant TO bonds to keep tho peace
Spence d McGafey were arrayed for the
defence. On cross ex animation, Mr.
Spence asked
Now. Mrs. B, tell the Court whaj
reason you bave to fear John will do yor
personal violence ?"
Margaret heSitates-is about to shed
tears-but is reassured by the tender tones
of Mr.. Spence:
"Pray do net DO excited, Mrs. B.,
Please tell the Court all about it. What
has Dwyer done or threatened to do ?
Mrs. b. "Well, last summer,

being untitled for the exigencies of the
times.

doctrines of State rights.

crime under heaven, and if the scoun-
drels presume to argue with you, arrest
them.
v. All WHO taih dUOIt tHo Vi

all such.
7. All who prato about the haJeas

tices.

tickling words. "loyal" and supporting

MIR. BroHgh's Position as Dcfin-
cd by Himself!

Mr. Brough in his aIImlton speech
said ne was not for restoration of the
Union as it was, even if the S ates would
ask to come back into the Union. He
announces that these States have forfeit
e1 all rights, and they shall never be al.
mit,ed until their constitutions are al.
tered--on such terms as shall be dictated
by the Lincoln's. Greeley's. Wade's and
Summers. This appears to be the poll
cy OF the Administration, for when Lou.
isiana make an appeal he gave her the
cold shoulder. Th SO radicals want sla
very abolished first; then they will take
into consideration the reconstruction OF
the Union. Every man in favor OF a
LONG WAR FOR THE FREEDOM
OF THE NEGRO will vote for John
Brongh; every man in favor of an honor
able adjustment of our difficulties, speedy
Peace, and Reconstruction IF the Union
as it was will vote against John Brough!

The lIGth Regiment for vail
nutBi Big ham,

ausiigham.
Our advices from this gallant regiment
is that threelourths of the soldiers OF the
regiment are enthusiastic for Vallandig
ham and the whole Democratic ticket.
Despite the fact that they have never
been able to read his speeches, or see
scarcely any papers friendly TO him or his
cause, and have only read most malig,
nant lies concerning him they mil sup
port him; and this is the reason (: They
kn0,o that their fathers and brothers at
home, who have an opporty OF reading
both sides, support ValIsndigham; and
they knaw that tteis fathers and brother
are not traitors. The Abolition papers
ask the Democratic soldiers from this
county, as well as other counties, to vote
for John Brough, and thereby en-
dorse the lie that Valandigham is trail
tor, and that their fathers and brothers
are traitors. When the Abolition papers
were telling the soldiers that their fathers
and relatives at home were traitors they
overshot the mark. and they have now
found it out. A soldier or any other man
of spirit doesn't relish very well The
charge Of traitor, when made against a
parent, especially when serious and con-
temp,ible charge is made merely for
electoneering purposes. A soldier is
very much like other people in this res
pect. although Abolitionist don't seem to
think so, and. and when his father, his
son, or his brother, is called scounrcl, a
traitor. or other opprobiouR name in his
pre,ance he is very apt to resent it; and
these charges have been made by the pa
pers that opposed Mr.. Vallandigham for
