DO NOT SCRATCH.

You may not like some of the candl-
dates on our ticket-you may have pre-
ferred others. But do you want to put
unhung rebels in Office ! Remember
that all who are not for us are against
us. The Democratic ticket in Jackson
county is composed of men, all Of whom
indorse the following resolutions,
adopted by the party less than one
month ago:
-. Resolred, That with them VIC hold that Zach
State has the indisputabe right to regulate Its
own internal domestic affairs as II pleases, indie
pendent of Congress or the President. To say
who shall enjoy the privilege Of the elective fran,
chlse; and who shall represent 1t In Congress and
To be Judge of encroachments and usurpati0ns OF
the General Government, and to resist II II neces-
sary with arms.
''3. Resolred, That we will warmly and active
" support President johnson In all necessary and
proper means of carrying out his reconstruction
policy, particularly In securing to each State the
right OF representation in both houses oil Con-
gross, without any further conditions imposed up
on any of them.
Is there Union man in Jackson
county who will indorse this rebel doc

Guard the Polls.

Let there be a committe of three
men appointed in each township, to
guard the polls. Remember that any
one Offering to vote who Is not entitled
to vote, subjects the offender to impris-
onment in the peuitentiary from six
months to one year. We understand
that several Irishmen have been colo
nized in this county to vote for the
knownothing Moore. A man must bo
a permanent resident TO entitle him to
vote. lie must, on demand, exhibit
his naturalization papers, must have
resided ia the State one year, and in
the county for thirty days. Let the

MORE ABOUT THOSE
N MGAWp WNG

On the FIRST page of Journal b., in
the Probate Court Records of Jackson
county, Judge Stevenson made the fol-
lowing entry:
Wensday may 9th 1860 4.
At probate court held before John
Stevenson Probate Judge within and
for said county of Jackson and State of
ohio at the office of said Judge in the
Town of Jackson on the 9th day Of may
A d 1860
Judgment obtained before Ambrose
Scott ajustice of the Peace in and for
Lick Township in the Town Of Jackson
and county of Jackson transcript of
said Judgment has been certified and
filed in the court of common peas of
said county and proceeding had therein
Execution issued to the sheriff of said
county -
That is all there is of There is no
entry to explain it further. Now if any
Democratic lawyer in Jackson will tell
us what sense there is in such records,
he will much oblige the public.
The marriage records are most i'm
portant, as the Legitimacy of children,
and the inheritance of property depend
upon the legality of marriages. In this
State, where records are kept, second
airy evidence Of marriage is not received.
When marriage license is issued, a
record of the date, and names of the
parties is made, and when the marriage
is solemnized, a return is made, and
that is recorded. Of course, the name
in the record of the issuing of the
license and that in the return, should be
the same. If there is material varl-
ance, the record is defective, and the
evidence of the marriage fails.
We give few instances of the bung-
ling of Judge Stevenson, in this record.
We quote from Marriage Record No.
2, and give in the first column the page
where each can be found; in the second,
the name in which the license was issued,
and in the third, the way the the same
name is recorded:

RANDOM THOUGHTS No. Al.
BY THE EDITOR.


On Wednesday of last week, Mr.. Longbon, Mr..
Laird aud myself went to Jefferson Furnace to
hold meeting. We got to the Furnace about
dusk, and found but few persons there. We came
back to the school house, when the people soon
began to arrive. DR.. Laird spoke FIRST, aud before
he had been speaking ten minutes, the house was
crowded to It's full capacity, with men and wo-
men. Laird made good speech. I followed
him, and made right good little speech, of half
an hour. Mr.. Longbon closed with splendid
speech. He is improving very fast. lIeis not
much accustomed to public speaking, but is be-
coming one of our best stumpcrs.
We came back to Portland the same night, and
STAYED at Billy Faulkner's tavern. Old uncle Andy
Faulkner was there, and is most Jealous Union
man. He isa great friend, personally, of COL
Moore, but he is down on him politically. He
said he was going to make q speech at Portland
against Moore on Tuesday of this week. / had a
good talk with uncle Andy about old times. He
has resided in Jackson county for fty-eight years
I can remember seeing him forty years ago.
On last Friday Mr.. Longbon and went to
Cambria Furnace. Our appointment for that
place had been made for the week before, but had
been postponed. No posters had been sent out
for the adjourned meeting, and all the notice CIV
en- was that in the Standard When night came,
things looked dscouraging. The roads were so
bad that the teamsters did not get In until after
night and we thought there would be failure.
Wetook supper with Mr.. Castor, at the Boarding
House, after which we sat in the Office for time,
when Mr.. Daniel Morgan, the clerk, said we would
go down to the school house. When we arrived
there, we found the house jammed full of men,
women and children. The hardy Furnace men
were there with their babes in their arms, and
their wives with them. Itwas complete success,
and Mr. Longbon said he would never again de-
spair of success at our meetings. Old Peter Seel
was there. He is the Oldest voter In the town.

1914, two years before the county was organized.
Mr. Longbon made good speech. l followed,
but did not do very well. However we had a good
meeting. We staid all night, and took breakfast,
with Daniel Morgan, the clerk at the Furnace.

A Good Record.

Gov. Brownlow, of Tennessee, made short
speech In Cleveland, last week, when he was so
sick as scarcely to be able to stand up. The fol-
lowing Is passage from his remarks:
II hope and expect, by rest and retirement Tor
n wear or two, to regain my health and strength,
and hope to be good for at least fifteen or twenty
years more of hard fighting against rebels lap
plause. II God, however, In his providence,
should call me of, have no fears of the conse-
quences beyond the grave. II the books have
been correctly kept in the upper world, asi have
no doubt they have been, there will be small
balance In my favor Laughter.
"A man with my record need not fear death. In
the first place never did anything TO aid or ahet
the rebellion, and IN the second place never
voted the DemocratIc ticket" - ~

TeII the TruaIl.

The consummate cheat of the Portsmouth
Times has much to say of Capt. Jno. I. Wilson
aud his u. s. bonds. The whole truth Is this;
Capt. Wilson at the aye Of flfty-two Joined The
army, aud converted oil his money Into Govern
ment securities, at the time the sniveling editor
of the Times was declaring that the South could
not be conquered, and the war was failure"
When Capt. Wilson returned home, he put his
bonds into bank stock went to the Ohio Legisa-
ture and voted that that bank stock should be
taxed Consequently he paid two dollars and SIX
ty--seven cents on every hundred dollars OF his
bonds. Now, Mr.. Times have little conscience
for lust once and tell the truth, when all the facts
are 'agn" you.-POrtsmoath Tribune.

nTBro. eating comes at us again.
lie prates a good deal about a free Gov
ernment founded upon the consent of
the governed. But he wants to make
one sixth part of the people chattels.
They are governed, but what consent
does he permit them to givc' He ig-
nores all colored men; and because his
party cannot have the freedom to force
negro wenches to submit to their lusts,
and raise mulatto bastards for the mar
ket, he whines and says the South shall
have such government again.

Judge of the Common Pleas.

In the excitement consequent upon
the election of Congressman, and a
full county ticket, do not forget the i'm
portant Office of Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas. Judge Plyley is known
and respected by all. No one can
breathe anything against him. But his
opponent, Mr.. Dungan-, well, we
promised not to say anything against
our neighbor, and we viii not. But
you all know Dungan-tOO wcH do you
know him. Vote for Plyley.

LYING.

The rebel party have given itup. We
have come to this conclusion from the
fact that that party has laid aside all ar
gument, and taken to downright lying.
The story about negroes getting $500
bounty-about Congress making no ap-
preparation to pay bounties to white
soldiers, aud then the story about Capt.
Wilson being a deserter, all show the
stock in trade. See card of Capt,
Wilson.

Moro Proof

That the unconditional admission of the
rebels into Congress, is the fundamental
principle of the copperhead party, is
abundantly proven by their platform of
principles, adopted at their State Con-
yention this summer, the second reso-
luton of which is as follows:
Rcsoiped, That the one great question Of the
day Is, the immediate and unconditional rcstora-
ion Ol all the States to the exercise of their rights
withh the Federal Union, under the Consultation,
and that we cordially and actively support Andrew
Johnson as President of the United States, 10 all
necessary and proper means to carry out his pol
Icy as directed TO that end, and especially In Sc.
curing Immediate representation In the Senate and
House Of Representatives, 20 the eleven states
from which Il Il now unconstltutonallv and arhi'
trarily withheld, unless on the degrading condl
tlon Of inferority IN the Union, and Of negro, po
lltlcal and civil equality, enforced by the Federa
Government.

THE JUDGEsHIP.


Amidst the heat and excitement OF our Con.
gressiOna election, we sometimes almost lose
Sight of the very important contest for the Judge
ship Of tho District. And II the cOpperheads
would keep quiet. allowing the two candidates to
run purely upon their own merits, we would not
need to agitate the question, as the qualifications
of the two men are so well understood that Dun
gan's defeat would be sure and inevitable But
the friends Of DUNCAN, knowing that such would
DO The result, are moving In secret aud clandes-
tine manner to try aud secure his election. They
ale quietly circulating reports In this county, aud
other localities outside OF Jackson that 'all the
party prejudice heretofore existing against him
has been buried, and that the whole jackson Bar
Intend to vote for him. These lies are being cir
cuated In order TO strengthen DUNCAN and cripple
Judge Plyley. We are we'll assured that they are
hes and that there Is not q lawyer in jackson
county, who acts with the Union party, that will
vote against our present able and worthy incum-
bent. Judge Plyley Is the right man In the right
place, and although our people do not see much
Of him In hIs official capacity. yet there is not q
man ln the county who win scratch his name and
replace 1t with such an ultra partisan copperhead
politician as Levi DUNCAN.
