SrRAws FROM THE HOME OF SAM WooD.-At
the Republican Convention held in Council
Grove on the 2Sth ult we learn that seven out
Of nine delegates elected to represent that
township in the County Convention, are anti
fraud. Resolutions were adopted instructing
the delegates to vote for none but an uncondi-
tional Lincoln man for delegate to the State
Convention. In Council Grove Township, Il.
D. Lockwood, the anti-fraud candidate for JUS
tice of the Peace, was elected over r. NJ.
Wright, who is a worshipper of Sam. Wood.
The temperance issue was sprung by Wood s
friends, but did not suffice to save them. The
handwriting is visible on the wall.

THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

The Presidential campaign is approaching
The political Executive Committees of various
States have set the ball in notion preparatory to
the meeting of the Baltimore Convention. and
soon our whole civil society will be sea Of
commo.ion. The coming contest for the Presi-
dsheE is doubtless the most important since the
formation of the Government. There is more
principle involved, and the people have more
at stake than they have had In any past cam
paign It is therefore tiC:e every citizen in the
land was taking hold of the matter, and using
his sovereign power in the cho'ce OF ruler
All choice or power emanates from the people.
and when they attend to subject faithfully
there is but little danger Of its being corrupted
But when they lack in watchiulness their most
cherished rights will suffer 1t the hands OF Po-
litical gamblers.
We desire to enlist every voter in the prehm''
naries of the campaign. For herein lies the
danger. Let every man turn politician, and
those whose trade it is will be checked IN their
career of chicanery and deception We plead
with every voter to attend each and every caucus
held from now until the time when you may
have secured the delegates who will express your
choice. The State Central Committee nave
called State Convention, to meet on the 2'st
of April, to choose delegates to represent the
State in the Baltimore Nominating Convention.
The apportionment is one delegate from each
representative district, and primary meetings
are called for April 18th to select these delegates
The State Convention. which is called, will
do more than choose our representatives to the
Baltimore Convention. By those representatives
it will express our will. Let US see to it in time
that our will is expressed, and that we may not
be betrayed.
We have already expressed our choice, and We
believe the choice Of Davis County and Western
Kansas. That man is ABRAHAM LINCOLN, whose
name We to-day raise at the head Of our paper.
Our intent now is not to urge Mr.. LINCOLN, but
to warn the people. whose choice he is, ere the
golden opportunity slips. 1t is universally con.
ceied that the nominee of the Baltimore Conyen-
tion will De our next Presient-that the contest
is, practically. within the Republican party.
Mcclellan will doubtless be the Copperhead can
didate, but the prospects that he will not get
single State. The people must therefore be on
hand at the primary caueuses. It's no ordinary
occasion, that few may do it. The life Of the
Nation is at stake. Probably the greatest task
every intrusted to human wisdom will deYOlve
upon the next Administration-and that is.
= DEMONSTRATION. You have tried ABRAHAM LIN
coin, and he has not been found wanting. Then
let every man who appreciates his citizenship,
be up and doing, that he be our nominee.
