WOOD COUNTY AND TIIE SENA-
TURSulP.
EBroHs BLADE An article in the last issue of
the Perrysburg JouHSAL s calculated II II goes
uucpntredicted, 10 give wrong impression 10
the sentiment Of Wopd County on tho United States
Senatorial question. The editor Of tho Journal
broadly asserts that great majority Of The Union
men Of this section Of The State are for Hon RopERT
q. ScHENCK." Now will venture to say the cd.
itnr has not talked with half dozen Union men Of
his county even, on this subject, TO say nohing Of
those In this section Of the State. know where
Of speak whom say the prominent Union mon of
Wood County are unequivocally for the return Of
Mr.. SHERMAN TO the Senate and that the article OF
the Journal is generally disapproved. The editor
c0vers entirely too much ground with " this section
NJ vho STATE" and In thus attempting such big
representation, succeeds 10 misrerrrSentiug ls own
inimeeiate locality.
Our Representative In tho Legislature, Mai, II.
i. Woop5 is an avowed supporter Of Mr.. SHERMAN,
bIsing his support, not on personal grounds, but
on tho fact that the great majority Of his costitu
cnts expect and demand such course The ed
itor OF the JOURNAL knows this, and vet will allow
some personal or other rreiudise to influence his
paper against tho views of the Union men Of his
Oouuiy. WOOD COUNTY.
The above appeared in tho Toledo BLADE
Of last Saturday. It appears that our arti-
cle in last weeks JOURNAL in reference to
the Ohio Senatorshr, has created the big
gest kind OF a tempest in the smallest kind
of teapot. Unwittingly we have thrown
amissils that has revealed to us very nice
htile arrangement among a select few, who
imagine themselves to he tho authorized
oracles Of the people, and tho cxponcnts Of
their will. The apparent objection to our
article seems to bo our statement that the
preferences of great majority Of the Union
mon Of this section of the State are for Hon.
EoBERr c. ScHEScK." Probably we should
have gu ,lified this assertion by saying that
from our knowledge and observation, we
were led to believe that such was the case.
We 1aticr, ourself, however, that We have
had as good opportunities for eliciting tho
sentiment Of tue people of this county, and
of this " section Of the State, rs tho CORES

great mass Of the Union mon Of this county,

of Mr. scHEScK, is based upon the fact that I

upon tho question, have thus reflected tho

But we are not inclined to chop logic with
him, and will only say that he has no more
authority to speak for the people of Wood
County, or it's prominent men, than has the
JOURNAL. And for his edi6cation we will
say that the JOURNAL knows whereof il
speaks, when II says there are prominent
mon in Wood County, and not a few, whose
preferences were for tho election of Mr..
