Committees for the
Polls.

Let there be active men appointed
in every township to work al the
polls. They should mako their ar.
Nngcments in time, and under no
consideration Of business or convent
once, fail to bo ut tho polls carly and
spend the day there, You have n
numerous and willy foo to contend
with, and the glory will be the greater
whom thcy are routed. Give them a
stubborn and gallant fight, and vic,
tory will bo tho result, which will
gladden. the heart of every patriot,
The county elections have an impor,
tant bearing upon tho Presidential
election; and the result of tho latter
determines tho flto of tho nation
Work then, for tho country, Work
for Stevenson, and put man in Con-
grcss who will vote money and mon

Bring out the full
Vote.

Last year tho full Union voto was
brought out, and Ohio went for
Brough by over 100000 majority.
Tho vote polIed was larger than any
cvor before poIled in tho State, because
every corner was searched and men
who had not been to the elections for
years, wcro at the polls and cast their
votes. Let tho vote bo brought out
again. A. voto or two lost in each
noighborhood will mako difference
ofmany thousands in the State. Our
enomics arc working in secret, and
will poll their full strength. We cut
thom down last year to a majority OF
900. and wa should hold thom at that,
The soldier vote will be increased over
last year, and wo have eUcry hope Of
ele'ting Stevenson. Every vote in this
county, though it may not help to
carry tho county, will holp to elect
Stevenson, because tho contest for
Congressman will be close. Every
vote is of tho greatest Importance
let every man think that his one
voto may in reality decide whether
Stevenson or Finck shall go to Con.

Do you want Re-
pudiatiOn

The Democracy declare that if they
gain tho power they will repudiatc
tho war debt and the Government
money. This is extensively asserted
in private and also by many Of their
speakers in public. There is no doubt
that this is o part of the policy of the
party. Farmers, mechanics, mcr.
chants and professional men, who have
from fifty TO ten usand dollars in.
vested in Government bonds, will you
allow such party to gain powor2--
Will you allow public faith and indi.
vidual right and interest to be thus
violated? II not, work and vote to
keep this vicious and reasonable par.
ty from power. Do not trust Finck
who 10 willing to do the bidding ofthe
party, and who votes with Long, Vor-
heee, Wood and Harris.

Finck votes in favor
of an Armistice be-
fore the Rebels lay
down their arms.

On the 18th of December, 1868,
Hon. Green Clay Smith, of kentucky,
introduced into the House three reso-
lutions, now known as the "Grccn
Clay Smith Resolutions" The first of
these was as follows:
l. ReSOlrcd, That as our country,
and the very existence Of the best
Government ever instituted by man,
are imperilcd BY the most causcless
and wicked rebellion that tho world
has ever seen, and believing, as We
do, that the only hope Of saving this
country and Of preserving the Govern.
mcnt, is by the power OF the sword,
VIC are for the most vigorous prosccu-
tion Of the war until the Constitution
and laws shall be enforced and obcyed
in all parts of the United States; and
to that end we oppose any armistice
or intervention, or mediation or prop
oSition for peace, from any quarter, so
loaE as there shall be found rebel in
ara.s against the Government; and we
irAlo all party names, lines and is
sue, and recognize but two parties in
this war-patriots and traitors.
A motion was mado to lay this res
olution on the table, which was lost,
The vote was then taken and the res,
olulion was adopted. WM. +, FINcH,
the Democratic nominee for Congress
in this district, voted against this res
olution, along with Benz, G.'IIargiS,
Alex. Long and Fernando Wood.
Finck thus voted against a vigor-
Gus prosecution of the war until the
Constitution and laws shall be enforced
and obcyed in all parts of the United
States" and in favor ofan armisticc,
of intervention and propositions OF
peace before the rebels lay down THEN
arms.
Soldiers, War Democrats and I'M
ion mcn will you vote for a candi-
date WHO'S opposed to the prosecution
Of the war, and in favor Of begging
the insolcnt traitors who are in arms
against tho Government, for peace

Don't be Caught
Mapping.

1t will DO remembered that in 1861
Ohio gave majority of half a hun
drod for tho Union ticket. In 1862,
the Union men, feeling secure, were
caught mapping and tho State offices
to bo filled, and three .foutths of the
seats in Congress, were filed with
Copperhoads, In 1863, tho Union
men were fully aroused and the State
went Union by over 100000. The
present election is more important
than either, and we urge tho friends
of the cause to be wide awake. Don't
bo caught mapping. Talk of nothing
but the election from this time until
Tuesday night, and be at the polls
early. Go round and stir up your
neighbors, and if there is one man
who is disposed TO remain away from
tho polls, act as though the sdlvation Of
the country depended upon that one vote

F'inck votes against
Pa ne, colored
Troops for fight
ing. the battles Of
the country.

On the 21st of December, 1868,
while the Deficiency Bill was under
consideration, Mr., Harding of Ken,
lucky, offered this proviso!
ROr,ded, That no part of The mo-
noy aforesaid shall be applied to the
raising, arming, cquipping or paying
Of negro soldiers"
WI. Il. FINck voted with Harris,
Long, Voorhees, and Fernando Wood,
in favor of this proviSo, thus declaring
himself opposed to paying colorcd
soldiers for helping to fight the battles
Of the country, and in favor Of dcpr-
wing the Government of the services
of 100000 colored troops. who have
spared that number of white men for
other pursuits. Mr., Fintk voted
against employing 100000 blacks in
tho service Of tho country, and there
by voted TO compel the Government to
draft 100000 white men to fill their
places. Mr.. Fincl voted, on the 2lst
day OF last December, against paying
the thousands Of colored troops rho ,rert
then IN The Serrice.

Who Is ReSPOnsIble for the Dram In this
County.

Who ts RespOncible for the DrRfI In this
County.
There is no doubt whatever that if
the people of this county had set to
work vigorously, both parties joining
with energy in the work, tho county
might havO raised her quota and es-
capped the draft. Those who arc now
paying $1,000 for substitutes, might
have escaped by paying $50 or slOO
towards raising bountios for volunteers,
and Il ose who are not able to hire sub
stitutes and.are therefore compelled to
60, might have remained at homo,
whic their neighbor, who was willing
to go, was serving in the ranks
When the call was first issued, the
Union men in every township proposed
to join with Democrats and raise the
quota Of tho county, but great ma
jority of the Democrats refused because
their leaders in each township 0duised
them not to furnish a man, but to let the
draft come and resist its execution.
Hundreds followed this advise, the
draft came, tho leaders either were
not drafted or hired substitutes, and
those of the people who are drafted
must pay $1,000 or go themselves.
We appeal to honest Democrats to
say whether this is not truc, whether
tho men looked upon as leaders, not
only in Lancaster but those consid
cred leaders in the different town
ships, have not deceived and misled
them, bringing upon them the full
burden of the draft when they might
havo cscar.l by fow dollars and a
little work.
Tho people should hold these mon
to strict account. We havc boon
informed that among those who thus
advised tho people are tho Democratic
candidate for auditor and the democratic
candidate for Sheriff. Those who doubt
the statement should inquire Of the
citizens Of Liberty township, and then
vote accordingly. No man who in
any way encouraged resistance to The
draft, or who has advised the people tc
lie supincly and lot tho draft como
should be trusted with office.
Wo do not ask the people to believe
our statements. All We ask is thai
they examine the facts for themselves
and then vote accordingly.

Finck Votes to per-
petuate Slavery
and against trus-
ting the People.

In juno last the House of Repre-
scntativcs voted upon submitting the
following amendment of the Consti-
tuition to the people:
SEC. /. Neither slavery nor invol-
untary servitude, except as u punish e
ment for crime, whereof the party
shall havo been duly convicted, shall
exist within the United States or any
place subject to their jurisdiction.
SEC. 2. Congress shall have power
to enforce this article by appropriate
legislation.
Wm. f. Finck voted, with Long and
Fernando Wood, against allowing tho
people to vote on this proposition,
thereby declaring himself unwilling
to trust the people, and in favor Of
pcrpctuating the curse of slavery,
which was the cause of the Mexican
war, the Kansas war, and the present
bloody and unparalleled rebellion.
If the people arc opposed to allow.
ing themselves to say Whether or not
the curse of slavery shall be perpctu-
ated, then let them vote for Finck.
If they are in favor Of continuing the
cause Of the rebellion, and Of return
ing the blacks to traitors in arms, lot
them vote for Finck. lfnot, vote for
Stevenson.

SOLDIERS EoR LINCOLN.

D~Capt, Il, d. Myers one of tho
proprietors of the Mansfield Hculd,
writing from Atlanta. says among
other things: "As for the army, you
will find it true-truo rs steel. Tho
soldiers, with fcw exceptions, arc Lin
coin men. Mcclellan has few sup
portcrs in Kentucky Regiments, VAL
landigham and his party, have no sup
porters anywhere. There are no Cop
pcrhcads here. Tho name Democrats,
as used by the present Coppcrhcad
party, will he as much of kissing and
bywOrd as that Of "Tory" in the revo-
luton, ! am now speaking facts.
My experience Of three years in the
army has given tho right to know
whereof | speak. 10 the friends of
tho country and of the Army scnas
good cheer The rebellion must be
Subducd, and we who are away in the
Sunny South, risking life and health
in our efforts in behalf of the county,
arc not weary in we'll doing. All
that we ask is that the people ct homo
should aid us and sustain us by their
contidc nee and support"

Finck votes to send
Three moro Com
missioners to the
Rebels.

On tho 29lh Of February, 1864,
Alexander Long, who declared in IA
vor of recognizing tho Southern Con-
federacy, submitted, in tho House, the

bat respectfully requested to appoint
Franklin Pierco, of New Hampshire,
Millard Fillmore of Now York, Thomas
Ewing of Ohio, and such other persons
as the President may SEQ proper to
select, rs Commissioners on behalf Of
tho United States, who shall be en-
powered to meet q commission of like
number when appointed for the same
object on behalf of tho Confederate
States, at such time and place as may
be agreed upon, for tho purpose of
asccrlainng, before the renewal OF hos
tiilios shall have again commenced,
Whether the Wdr should not noW cease,
and tho Union be restored by the re-
turn ofall tho States to their allegiance
and their rights under the COnstitu'
ton
WM. f. FINcK voted, with Long
