Presidential Dignity.

President Johnson, during his cleo.
tioneering tour, has furnished tho pco-
pie more evidence, than he has ever
before, Of his own sordid ambition
and egotism. While the man who
stands at the head, and is the chief
of the nation, should possess unusual
intelligence, reserve and dignity, he
has publicly declared that he cared
not for his dignity. Out of his own
mouth does he condemn himself lie
remarked, angrily, to some one who
threw in n sentence. at Cleveland,
while he was speaking, "That man
who had no respect for himself, had
none for Others" If President John.
son cares not for his own dignity,
does he care for the dignity and pride
Of the nation of which he is chief?

The Southern Convention,

This gathering of loyal Southern
crs has met in council and adj.
iourncd. In that Convcntion--as
will be in all such popular meetings
there were men who advocated cx.
trcmc measures. The subject Of ne
gro suffrage was clearly not a subject
for discussion in such Convention,
it being subject for the considcra-
tion of States and for their action.
The result of dragging this question
into the proceedings of the Convcn-
tion, was n split in sentiment and
opinion. Tho border States, after
endorsing aud adopting the address in
effect, withdrew, leaving the field to
the Southern men who will plant
themselves dciantly on the doctrine
Of suffrage to all men, which they
look upon as their only means of get.
ting and maintaining majority in
their States.

Soldiers Attention.

Arc you aware that FINNEFRocK

his recent speech in this city.
You that were with him on the
bloody field of SnILou, and at the
long and trying scigo of VIcKsnUnG,

downright aisohood!--propose by
your vote for such man, to indorsc
this miserable accusation, or by sus.
tanning Mr., BUCKLAND, throw this H.
back into the teeth Of him who utter
cd it, and thus show the people that
you rcposc the same confidence in his
unilinching patriotism now, as when
he led you on the field of battle.
Remember that when you were at
the front, pcriling your lives in tho
defense Of your country, this Demo

ing the war aud causing many lives to
be sacrificed that might otherwise
have been saved. This is the kind of
man that would now have you be-
lievc he IL your warmcst friend.
Soldiers, remember it is the men
who went out and pcrilcd their lives
with yours, it is to your interest and
your duty to support, and not men
who come forth after the storm is over
and the danger passed, and profess
themselves your friend. Beware of
those fair weather friends, for should
the storm arise again they would bc
the first to desert you.
In voting for Mr.. BucKLAND, you
sccutc to yourselves the $500 Bounty
Bill which he claims is just and which
! he voted for in the last session of
Congress.
Rcmcmcr that in voting for Mr..
BucKLAND, you show your dctcrmin-

of traitors that government you SO
nobly struggled to maintain, but that
treason should be made odious and

Soldiers, your duty is with the pres.

SOLDIERS, remember that Mr..

The bar of Tifin, regardless Of
party, were SO indignant at the NOM
ination that they refuse to support
him.
The Republicans have selected the
Hon, Cooper X. Watson, of Tifin, as
their ca1didate-a man known all
over the State of Ohio as an eminent
lawyer. His extraordinary abilities
are acknowledged everywhere, and his
practice has extended through all the
northwestern counties of the State,
and the aid of his superior legal tai
cnt sought in the more important con-
tested cases. lie is a clear headed,
thorough lawyer, a sober and moral
man, and in every way qualified for
the place.
This office, moro than any other,
should be removed from tho political
arena, and men selected on account
of qualification, rather than from po-
litical motives.
Every tax payer and citizen is in
tcrestcd in this matter.
Mr.. Mott, accidently, is the Demo.
cratic candidate, nominated by an un-
fair and corrupt course, and unquali-
fed for the placc--he has nothing to
recommend him to the suffrage of the
people, and We trust the thinking vo
tcrs of this District, and all those
who want an Independent and untram.
mclled judiciary, will see to it thaI

the rebellion being suppressed and at
an end, that peace again should return
among our people.
The great principle in the suppress
sion of the rebellion was to preserve
the Union of these States. That has
been done-but strange to say, there
are some among US now who assume
that the States are dissolved, and no
Union shall be restored A strange
paradox, this. First, to assume that
the States shall not and cannot 90 out;
that they have no power or right to
90 out, aud then after it is establish
ed that they have no right to go out,
then to turn round and say that the
Union is dissolved and the govern

Thcn in going along upon this fly

Our government will soon pass into

That Call.

Numbers of the honest aud think
ing men who belonged the Republi-
can party during the war are becoming
disgustcd with it, since it has taken
the negro suffrage schutc, and are
leaving it. This is fact and nobody
will deny it. We have the names of
numbers, and by referring to the
soldiers call this week many will be
discovered as having acted with that
party as late as last fall. l.-Idrertiscr
There is another fact that nobody
will deny, and that is, that sir of those
"who belonged to the Republican
party belong there still. How ma
ny moro of those names were dishon-
estly obtained, we do not know; but
we do know that others rcpudiate it.

We earnestly call upon ALL of the
Union men in Seneca County, to or.
ganize in force for the vote this Fall.
IL there is desire to redeem this
county from the hands of party, who
denounced the war to save the Union,
and subsequently have been trying to
bring rebels into official powcr in the
government, there is work to be done,
and there is no time for luko.warm.
ness in the cause. We are satisfied
that IT erery Union man in the county
would vote himself, and procure his
neighbor, who is Indifferent to do the
same thing, we can elect some ir not
all on our ticket.

graceful exhibition of himself -
Speaking of it the Lcader says:
"Mr. johnson has made many
speeches in the last year in which the
lover of tho Union and of popular
institutions have had great cause for
shame. Bat in low-aung abuse in
ylrulent denunciations, in revolution,
AIRY declarations of hostility to a co.

The Commissioners.

Elsewhere will be found n card from
the County Commissioners, in which
they try to make it appear to the pee
pie. that there were no favors shown
in the disposal Of the Court House
patronage. But they do not tell tho
public that the bids Of certain men
were told to the successful bidder,
aud he, of course, made his own few
dollars less. They do not deny tho
statement, that one of the Commits
sioners made publicly, viz; "that no
d--n Black Republican should have
anything to do with the job" Thi,
statement is susceptible of proof.

Common Pleas Judge.
[From the JeGertonian ]

The candidates for Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas in this sub
division of our Judicial District, are
now in the field, and their merits for
the position should be well under
stood by the people, whose suffrage
they will expect at the coming cleo
ton.
The Office of Judge of the Court
is an important one, and great care
should be exercised in sclcction.-
lie is cmphatically The Judge, and has
in a great measure, the legal rights
Of the people in his power. 1t is of
vast moment to the people, that their
legal rights and remedies be certain
that there may be no doubt as to
,rhat is The iow; for, if the law be
certain, and its administration uni
form, and the practice of the law
made conformible to established
rules, then the client and his counsel
know what to expect-.know how to
act, and useless and unnecessary lit.
igation, and large number of vexa.
tious aud interminable law suits are
avoided. But if the Judge is igno-
rant of the law, what assurance has
the litigant that his cause will be
correctly decided? The Judge may
decide it according to law, or he may
not. The result is that bad case
has about as good chance to succeed
as a good one.
1t is true that the unsuccessful party
may appeal, or have n second trial, and
the delay thereby is often so great as
to cause the suitor to abandon his suit
because of the seemingly slow and
uncertain course of justice.
tits a notorious fact that the incom.
potency of some Justices of the Peace
have been the cause of many law suits
and it is equally true of incompetent
Judges. The consequence of igno.
rance on hepart of a Judge are more
severely felt, because of the protract.
ed delay and enormous costs, which arc
sometimes ruinous and, alas, because
his power is greater, and its misuse
therefore more DISASTROUS,
Under ourJudicial system the Judge
is moro or less conscryator oI
: the morals and peace ofthecommunity
The Grand Jury and the officers
of the court are his servants, aud the
administration of justice subject to
his will. Ifho knows the law aud
administers it correctly, citizens are
safe; but if he is ignorant of it, or
peryerts it, disorder ruin and conten-
ton are the result
The Copperheads have nominated
Chester r, Mott. Of Upper Sandusky
Ia man lcng since in the decline OF
life, and never having occupied a
higher judicial position than Prose
cutting Attorney of his county. His
abilities, or rather disabilities. are
notorious, and when his name was
first announced as a candidate, it was
considered a good joke. No one
dreamed of his nomination, especial
ly, when it was known that Judge
Whitley would accept. But the day
Of the Convention arrived, and 10
=" the first was last and the last first,
a bargain and sale was discovered,
merit and fitness were uuheeded, and
the bargain, regardless of consequent
ces to the people, must be carried
out, and the office of Judge disgraced
by the nomination of Il man utterly
incompetent to Gil the position.
