The Coming Election.

Aside from any comments on our own part
our readers will perceive from the several
communications which we publish to-day, that
the annual election is near at hand which
will be decisive of the most important cleo.
tion which has taken place for some time, not
excepting that when Vallandigham was before
the people for the Office of Governor.
On Tuesday, the 10th inst, important State
Offices are to be filed, which in measure
will decide the policy which our State is to
hold in her intercourse with the Gen. Gov.
ernment, and define the principles for our
own immediate government, which for veal
Or woe for all time are to impress the future
OF this great country,-the consideration of
which we do not doubt weighs heavily. ON the
public mind at this juncture of our public of.
fairs Also we are to elect representatives to
both branches of the Legislature, on whom
will devolve the election of U. S. Senator,
and probably two of them in the event Of a
vacancy, in which no one familiar with the
times in which we live, can fail to see the ne.
cessity that none but good and true men should
be selected to represent the country in the
counsels of the natiop, as we'll as in our own
Stale We trust therefore that every citizen
who appreciates the true condition of his coun-
try, few of whom we believe are derilect in
this respect will be vigilant and active in
the good cause and give themselves no rest
until the good work devolving upon them
shall have been done, leaving no cause for
self reproach for neglect of duty, when that
important day shall have closed
The people of Meigs county, and particu-
larly the gallant soldier just returned from
the battle field, have fine opportunity to dis
tinguish themselves in returning to the State
Senate aad House of Representatives two dis.
tinguished, reliable gentlemen-Messrs Brad
bury and Welsh, whom the Uaion party have
placed in nomination for those Offices which
can be done with unprecedented majorities,

Mr., EDIToR:
Seeing Mr. RUSSELL card in the Telegraph
denying that he supported Valandigham, the
blue days Of the Spring and Summer of 1868
came quickly to mind, The second Bull Run
disaster, the indeeisives results of Antietam
followed by Burnsides sad reverse at Fred
ricksburg, cast a gloom over the army that
never can be forgotten Washington was
again menaced il not besicged, Kentucky and
Missouri overrun, foreign powers talking Of
intervention and added to this the Knights Of
the Golden Circle were organizing to support
heir Southern friends Papers and phamp-
lets, in sympathy with rebels, were sent freely
to the army and our camps were flooded with
letters ofthe soldiers abusing the Administra-
ton, advising them to desert and declaring
they were prepared to protect them from ar
rest, &c. do not think Mr.. Russell went so
far as this, but certain tits that he wrote to
one or more of our soldiers belonging to the
same company with mysslf denomcing the
war as "a war for the niggers, the Adn,inisl
tration as san abolition concern,p and asking
his friends to "be sure and vote right this
fall" | say what know az / read the
letters myself qi b isabbl % ba.6r h
+ And now that we are again at home, letme
say, that it is by no means necessary that a
candidate has served in the army to get
true soldiers vote. Not at ALL as we know
that many bad men served in the army and
many good ones remained at home A clear
record, the past four years. will prove very
wholesome election day. We prefer our old
associates Of course. all things else being
equal - - t79"Nt-8a9f s',s q
Soldiers also like the men who when urg-
ing them to enlist under their command,
promised to continue with them to the last
and no resigning, a thing the soldier could
not do and then did as they agreed. iaq p

PERRY WIS.,
VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER,
THE UNIVERSAL REMEDY
For Internal and External
Complaints.

AT this period there are but few OF the human
race unacquainted with the Terits OF the Pain
Killer but while some eXtol it as q liniment,
they know but little of its power in easing pain
when taken internally, while others use it in
ternaly with great success but are equally ig-
norant of its healing virtues when applied ex-
ternally. We therefore wish to say TO all that
it is equally successful whether used internally
or externally, and it stands alone, unriyalled
by all the great catalogue of Family Medicines,
and It's sale is universal and immense. The de-
mand for il from India and other foreign cOun.
tries is equal to the demand at home, and it has
become known in those far.OT places solely by
its merits.
THE PAIN KILLER derives much of its pop
ularty from the simplicity attending its use,
which gives il peculiar value in family. The
various diseases which may be reached by it,
and in their incipient stages eradicated, are
among those which are peculiarly fatal if suf-
fered 10 run but the curative magic of this
preparation at once disarms them of their ter.
rors. In all respects it ful6ls the conditions OF
a popular medicine.
