Donahue at the Court House.

The two year old American imported by
the Butternut Democracy from Canada, and
now running on that ticket for the State
Senate, asked, in his speech in the Court
House on Monday night, where John
Brough learned his doctrine of opposition
to the extension Of slavery. For the edifi-
cation of that very vain and pres umptuous
young man, and as an answer to his question,
we publish the following resolutions passed
by Democratic State Conventions in lS47-S
and 40.
At State convention Of the Democratic
party of Ohio, in the year ls4s the follow
ing resolution was adopted.
"Resolred, That the people of Ohio now,
stitutiOn OF slavery as an evil, untavorable
to the full development of our institutions !;
and that entertaining these sentiments they
will feel it to be their duty to use all the
powers consistent with the national compact
to prevent its increase, to mitigate, and
fiually eradicate it."
The Democratic State convention, of
Michigan, which nominated Governor aud
State officers in lS49, passed unanimously
the following .t....e
"ResolUed, That we are opposed to the
extension of slavery into tho Territories of
New Mexico and California, believing them
to be now free in virtue of the laws of Mex
leo, and that its establishment in either of
those Territories ought to be prevented"
The Democratic State committee Of New
Hampshire, in October, lS47, passed the
following resolution:
"Resolred, That we declare it our solemn
conviction, as the Democratic party have
heretofore done, that neither slavery nor
involuntary servitude should hereafter exist
in any territory which may be acquired by,
or annexed to the United States; and that
we approve Of the votes of our delegation
in Congress in favor ofthe Wilmot Proviso. y
At State convention of the Democratic
party in Massachusetts,, composed of more
than six hundred members, in lS4s. the fol-
lowing resolution, introduced by Hon. B. 4.
Halett, then chairman Of the national
Democratic committee, and Of the State
Democratic committee, were adopted unan
imously, as appears from the Boston Post,
the organ of the party in New England:
"Resoiued, therefore, That, as slavery
does not exist by any municipal law in the
new Territories. and Congress has no power
to institute It, the local laws Of any State au
thorizing slavery can never be transported
there nor can slavery exist there but by Z
local law Of the Territories, sanctioned by
Congress-" u1 iSut

Watch Them p!

We have no doubt the Vallandigham Or
gan-the Gazette-will be filed this week
with lies and ISLANDERS on the Union candi-
dates and Union cause. The editor, and
those other designing and unscrupulous men
whose willing tool and mouth-piece he is
know it will be too late to expose their false
hoods through the CHRONICLE, and hence
we expect a perfect avalanche Of lies in tina,
paper this week. We say, WATCH THEM
as you would the thief who would rob you
Of your purse, or the murderer who would
cut your throat They are working, with Q
perseverance worthy OF a better cause, tc
hand you over, bound hand and foot, to the
accursed tyrants at Richmond. Be assured
they will hesitate at no means to accomplish
their ends. 3N si ''
Let every man prepare to meet and ex
pose their lies and ISLANDERS.
See to it that no well disposed citizen il
led astray by them. .,ie

Of hypothetical premises from which to
draw false conclusions, we certainly have no
reason to complain. We were pleased with
that part Of his speech, where he asserted
that every act Of the Administration, every
Proclamation issued by 1t since the com
mencement Of the war strengthen the re-
bellion, and he and the Democratic party
we're opposed to them" We we're glad to
see him take his position, and declare that
of his party to be in opposition to all the
measures of the Administration for the sup
preston of the Rebellion.

Talk with Your Neighbors

Tn a great crisis like the present every
patriot should talk with his neighbors, und
endeavor to persuade shes als to vote for
the best interests Of the country. We are
convinced there are hundreds Of men in
Belmont County who will vote the Vallan-
digham ticket in good faith--beleving they
are doing right. Where you find neigh
Dor of this kind, talk withhim--reason with
him. Show him how Vallandigham and
his party have always opposed the war
measures of the Government, notwithstand-
ing The fact that it has always been cardi-
nal principle of the Democratic party that,
in time of war, the Governments must be
sustained, whether right or wrong. Read
to him the last declarations of the immortal
DOUGLAS, his "dying legacy to the Ameri.
can people,. Tell him that Douglas said
"The greater our unanimity, hespysdierha,
.lay of peace;;" that "Thcre ean be nc
neutrals in this mar, only Pariots--or Trait
oys" Show him that these were the last pub
lie declarations of Douglas, made but a few
days previous to his death, and that the 81.
ChirsuiWe GaSene has persistently and dog
getlly refused to print a line of them.
Ask him who. in in all his Iifetimer h
has been used to looking up to sthe leadin
spirits of his party. Whether it was Levi
Cass or Vallandigham? Daniel 8. Dickir
son or Van Trump? Joseph Holt or Hui
bard2 Judge Kennon or Dan VOORHEES, ?
Show him that Cass, Dickinson, Tod, Hol
Brough, Judge Kennon, Stanton, the NJ,
Cooks, and all the other great spirits Of tn
party-the brains and integrity of the o
ganizaticn-are cordially supporting tn
Union movement and that the men VII
: are now running the Democratic machiI
are reckless gamblers-false lights who wi
lead the old ship on the breakers.
Be activel Work every hour from no
until election day! Remember, everythir
is at stake! The brave men who beat bat
: the combined Rebel armies at Chickamaug
Q and who are standing in serried ranks arour
$ Chattanooga, on the Rapidan, on the M
It sissippi, and around the doomed city
l. Charleston, appeal to you imploringly n
,, to undo by your ballots what it has &C
i them so much in toll and blood to accol
n plish. They implore you to stand by the
10 and the cause they have vindicated by thu
'r heroism on the hundred battle-felds Of Il
u war.
Elect the Union ticket by an overwhel
N ing majority, and it will do asmuch towal
1t closing the war as the capture of Richmo
I'd or Ch arleston.

VOTERS OF BELMONT COUNTY |
Remember that Donahus, Chambers, the
two Pattsrsons, Neiswanger, Work, Wag-
genor, and Taylor endorse and sustain the
arch Traitor at the head of their ticket, and
are therefore no better than their chief
REMEMBER that tho election of any
one of these men will be claimed as Val

REMEMBER that the contemplate
Canadian puppy, Donahue, has slandered
that brave and gallant Democrat, Col. Rich
ardson, who is yet suffering from terrible
wound received in defense Of his country,
simply because the heroic Richardson will
not follow this bastard, souless Democracy
in its crusade against the liberties Of oul
country
REMEMBER that this same savory in
dividual has been but two years citizen o.
the country, and that he has nothing what
ever at stake in this crisis-not even char
acter.
REMEMBER that, in speech at Union
town, he called the soldiers of the Republic
many of them your friends and neighbors
THIEVES AND MURDERERs." This car
be proved by fifty as good men as are il
Wheeling Township. 1t was charged OF
him in these columns weeks ago, and ha'
never been denied by Donahue's friends.
