it's progress is not arrested, life is often pro-
lOnged, and the disease Invested of much of it's
suffering.
The Island from it's position, and from its
great irregularity of surface, presents a vast
variety of climates 50 much so, that for mere
change of climate, an Invalid need scarcely quit
its shores.
'The Island contains several Mineral Springs,
one Of which is thermal, and has been found of
great service in the treatment of Rheumatic,
Gouty, and Cutaneous affections. Another of
these Springs is, an .Aluminous Chalybeate, is
situate in the higher Mountains, in a most de-
lightful climate and were it better known and
more accommodation afforded, I have little
doubt that many suffering from impaired health,
the result of a long and continued residence in
the lOwlands, might from its use, be restored to
health in lieu Of undertaking an expensive, and
too often announcement transatlantic trip; besides
which, [ do not think, were the virtue Of tie
Spring its mild and delicious climate, its Grand
and Magnificent Scenery, made known, that it
would be too much to expect that Invalids from
other Countries in search of that greatest of all
blessings-HEALTH-would be induced to visit
this fair spot in this Land of Springs"
DR.. ~Campbell's Opinion.
"The effects of residence in Jamaica on Eu-
ropeans and Americans is usually beneficial,
especially on those who are predisposed to scr0-
fula or pulmonary consumption, or who have
evinced a peculiar tendency to colds and chro-
nical affections during the winter months. In
such cases the general health and physical ener-
gies usually undergo a rapid and marked change,
resulting in permanent good health"
DR.. Duan's Opinion.
Americans and Europeans will find a climate
here more congeniel to them, and 9ne in which
they can carry on all the laborious e~xertiOns to
which they have been accustomed. The island
possesses all the advantages that man can desire
for every Industrial purpose. The slight deri-
walton of temperature experienced during the
entire year, and the regular alienation Of the
sea and land breezes, which modify it, render
the island a most desirable residence for invalids.

We now and here desire to call the
particular attention of Republicans
throughout the State to this most i'm
portant duty, namely, the duty of having
Republican candidates present at every
voting precinct in Ohio, from the time
chat The first ballot is deposited until the
lime the last vote is counted out. Un-
der the law which we have cited, each
candidate, whether on the State or Coun-
" ticket, has the right to be present in
person, or TO be represented by three OF
his political friends, within the room
where the judges of election are seated.
Where written proxy has been given
to another by q candidate who can not
be present in person, it is not within the
power of any judges to exclude these
friends of candidates from the room
where the ballot box is kept, or prevent
them from scrutiniZing everything that
is done by them. Now, tits but the com=
monest and most necessary precaution
against fraud to detail earnest and fear
less Republicans in every ward and town
ship for this duty of guarding the ballot
nox, ard watching closely the counting
0f every ballot. To be willing to trust
Democratic judges to preserve the purity
of the ballot-box indicates ignorance of
the principles of the managers of that
party that is stupid and deplorable.-
More than five hundred fraudulent votes
we're cast at the October election last
year in Columbus, through the conni-
vance and with the assistance of Demo
cratic judges of election. The returns in
three of the wards were notoriously false
md fraudulent. No Republican was
present at the counting of the votes in
three of the wards If this thing occurs
again, the Republicans of Franklin
county may be set down as pre-eminent
n stupidity over all their party in Ohio.
But it will not occur again. Once more

friends with written authority from
them, he present within the room where

Guard the Ballot Box
From the ohio state Journal.

the OnlO STATE JOURNAL.
1t is the duty of every good citizen to
see that there is an honest vote at the
election held two weeks from to-day.
The result announced should represent
the fair and honest expression of the
political opinions of the lawful voters oi
Ohio. Heretofore there have been fraud
ulent voting, fraudulent co nting of the
vote, and false and fraudulent return OF
the vote in many precincts. Let us take
one case for illustration. At the spring
election of 1868, in one of the Townships
of Belmont county, the Democratic
Judges of the election so manipulated
the vote in counting it out that they
certified that n majority OF the votes Was
east for the Democratic candidates and
that these candidates were duly elected.
But enough was known to justify
the belief that the Union candidates.
including the township Trustees,
were in point of fact elected by the
ballots cast. Proceedings We're accord
ingly entered in the District Court
sitting in Belmont county, anu
that Court unanimously decided, after
hearing all the evidence in the case, that
the Republican candidates were duly
elected, there having been fraudulent
count and false retnrn by the judges
of election. The New York City plan
of counting votes was adopted, as it APP
peared from the evidence. y Republican
ticket was taken up by judge aud the
names OS the Democratic candidates
read of in the same way as if il were a
Democratic ticket. This case is sufficient
to show that there is scarcely limit to
the frauds that may be committed where
Democratic Judges are allowed unIe-
sIricted control of all that pertains In
the deposit and counting of votes.
One section of the general election
laws nov in force reads as follows:
The judges of election shall, IL requested, per
nit the respective candidates, or one or more
not exceeding three of their friends, TO b. pres
ent In the room where the Judges are dur ing the
time OF receiving and counting out the ballots.

Next Tuesday the People of Ohio will
determine at the ballot-box who shall
be the Chief Magistrate of the State for
the ensuing two years.
Let US look at the two candidates pre-
scented for that high Office, and see which
is entitled to the confidence and graft
tude of the People.
When the war broke out RUTHERFORD
B. HAYES was practicing his profession
in Cincinnati. He abandoned this and
threw his whole heart into the work of
raising volunteers to defend the flag of
his country. Gov. Dennison commits
stoned him Major of the 23d Ohio Infan-
try, of which Gen. Rosecrans was Col
onel. Major Hayes, by good, hard SER
vice on the battle-fields of Virginia, rose
to the rank of Brigadier-General; and to
his intrepid valo- the country is in a
large degree indebted for the splendid
victory at Winchester. All through the
war we find him at "the 'front.'" march
ing and battling for the flag of our
Union and for an undivided Nationality.
In 1867 the People of Ohio elected him
Governor. His administration of that
Office is characterized by wisdom. pru-
dence and economy, and he is a fitting
successor to that long line OF illustrious
GOvernors-Chase, Dennison, Tod,
Brongh and Cox-whO have reflected so
much glory upon our State.
During part of the time the war was
in progress Mr.. George II. Pendleton
was member of the Lower House of
Congress. Did he do anything there
that entities him to the confidence and
support of the good people of Ohio
Every vote he cast was in the in
terest of the Rebellion. Every speech
he made would have produced ap-
plause, if read in the Rebel camps
During all that dark period when
our friends were struggling with
armed Rebels, Gentleman George had
no word of cheer for those who bore the
flag of our Union, or OF comfort for the
afflicted when the Union soldier fell and
was buried in his bloody uniform
While the soldiers of Sherman were
closing around Atlanta, and Grants
army was cutting its blind path through
the Wilderness, Mr.. Pendleton was
she uting from Chicago: 1.-The var is

tnrious armies from the fields they have
made immortal by their valor. Fold
the fiag they have carried through so
many storms, and in its stead hang out
the white rag of surrender.
Forward, my men!" answered the
intrepid Hayes, at the head of his Ohio
Brigade at Cedar Creek, and plunging
his spurs into his horse put the Rebel
hordes to flight and carried our flag to
victory.
Can any man who felt good when the
victory at Cedar Creek or Atlanta, vote
for PendletOn?
Can any man who voted for Tod or
Brough vote for Pendleton? Did not
like Vailandigham, do all in
his power to cripple the nation in its
for life?
Suppose we could stand in the midst !
of those great national cemeteries at |
Stone River, Andersonville, or else
where, and could call up the thousands |
of brave men who sleep there, and ask !
them for which of these men we should |
vote-Hayes. the patriot, or Pendleton,
the plotting copperhead-what would be
the answer?
