Two MaYOrS.'

If the earth could not bear two suns, MOI
Asia two kings, as an ancient monarch is
reported to have said to Alexander of Mace
don, how can the city of Springfield, Ohio,
bear two Mayors? Yet it has, says the
Sandusky Register, two Mayors in full au-
thority, and a second postofice is about to
be opened in opposition to the regular
one. (The first statement is a fact, the last
is rumor.) Mayor Snyder, having been inn
peached and deposed by the City Council
refuses to yield, has entrenched himself in
his Office and dares the authorities to turn
his position. Mr.. Fleming, the newly sp-
pointed Mayor, has opened his office, and
bought new docket and seal. lr

The great issue before the people is,
whether all the powers of Government
shall be concentrated in the hands of the
General Government--the States being re-
duced to the condition of counties-and a
consolidated despotism be thereby estab-
lished; or, whether those rights of local
self-government which our fathers enjoy
ell and which we inherited from them, and
without which there can be no real liberty,
no wise government, no public economy,
no light taxation, shall be preserved
A powerful faction, represented bya ma
jority in Congress, have conspired to over
throw the free and benehcent institutions
of our fathers, and to substitute therefor an
Oligarchy of privileged classes. crushing
the mass Of the people and all individual
liberty, under the weight of despotic and
unrestricted General Government. To eff
feet this object, they, in plain violation of
the Constitution, exclude eleven States
from representation in Congress, and insist
upon comforting upon negroes the right
to vote-not OUT Of regard to the negro,
but because they expect to be able,
with their money, to control hisvote, and
thereby perpetuate their party ascendency.
Let every man who is opposed to the
schemes of the conspirators, who cherishes
the institutions founded by our fathers,
who appreciates the necessity and benefits
of local lf-government, who is opposed to
seeing the great State of Ohio shorn Of her
dignity and reduced to the dependent con-
dition of county, or who is opposed to
Negro Suffrage, join with the Democracy
in rescuing our country from the grasp of
the Malignants. o

tral Committee of Ohio.
