' --v r. : .. iSTFrom the time of tho organization, of the first councils of .the American par ty in the State of Ohio, it has, been tho uuifurm cry p the lrou-headed opponents of ' "Amuricaa Piepublicauisui that ' 'the party is going down,'. &e.. &. "What was the language held ' by the organs of the old parties last fall, in xelatiou to this, or ganisation 1 It is fresh iu the memory of all, that the universal bawling of hunker doui was, that the Know Nothings had 'fizzled out in nearly every county in the State' and nearly every council in Jeffer son County- But what did the sequel prove on the second Tuesday in October 185? More than 70,000. of anti-Administration majority for the State ticket, aud from twelve to sixteen hundred for the American cituuty ticket. Still the oM- liners were not conquered.' j Again they rallied at the Spriug elections. ( The Amer ican party they alledgcd was now complete ly 'defunct,' the unterrified Democracy would carry by large majorities every townr ship iu the couuty. The day came, and tho people came to the election, and the result was, that, in every instance where the Order saw proper to take issue, it was victorious by largo majorities, with the ex ception of perhaps one solitary case of an uniutpot taut office, and that was the result of carelessness or bad policy. -, We know it is not very pleasant to tho feelings of our . old-line friends to refer .them to the history of the past, painful feelings must necessarily be esoited in their minds by tho retrospect, but it may prove beneficial to them in the end. Now the cry has again gone forth from Pro-Slavery; Hun- kurdom, that the Know Nothings are leav ing the Councils by scores, rallying to the standard of the old Democratic party, aud that a glorious victory is in reservo for the uear disinterested friends of humanity on the second Tuesday of October. ; , . Office hunters are now busily employed in stumping the county proclaiming where thoy go that. 'Kuow Nothiiigisui' is '. run ning down and that 'Democracy !' -save the mark, it's a desecration of the word is running up.' These terms are some what ambiguous. If those stumpers mean by their ure that the American principles and American party are , 'running d.jwu' like the u.ujcstiu Ohio,' deepeuit g and widening iu" its course, carrying every ob stacle leioie it-and 'resistlessly marchiug on. to its destination, then we shall not controvert the; statement ..' If they mean by 'Democracy' 'going up,' that it is as: sending like the kite we noticed the' other day bhilting and changing its position with every breeze, whilst a boy: holding a string to which it was attached, stumbled and loll into the gutter, breaking the string and causing the sudden disappearance of his kite, or like the balloon inflated with gas assenda into the upper region where it remains until its contents are exhausted, then we have no controversy at that point. Would we had an old Rev friend of ours here about tho second Tuesday in October that he might try his skill in the art of in-J oaung tne ' uemocratio laiioon ot Jcner soff county. .- ''; '. : ' ' j. -,.

We submitted to him the paper we pubr lished; respecting his declination . before handing it to the compositorhe approved of it, aud still approves of it. . Now neighbor Andrew, what can be done in this matter? You can't possibly get either of those gentlemen on the track, unless you shove off Thompson and Jones, aud even then, they would not have an office from your party.- . Governor Hedill i Antecedents. As Governor Medill is now before the electors of Ohio, for tho highest office in their gift, it is but right that they should look with care int? his past political histo ry, and it is the more necessary that this should be done, as many of his political friends have been laboring to place him in a false position. His speech when in this city contributed greatly to this result, and the Union, tho organ of his party has been tryiog to rivet iu the minds of its readers, the idea that the Governor is, and always has been a good and true anti-slavery man. We clip the following from the Columbi an, as a correct history of the Gove rnor's past position on the slavery question, the right of petition, &e. It is no doubt true to the life, with the simple exception of the introduction of the name of Mr. Bott's of Virginia, who it seems did not introduce the resolution attributed to him. Read the following, and then ask yourself the question. Is Governor Mediil to be trust ed in any position in which the interests of the free States of this Union are involv ed ? ' '':''' ' ' ' -: '-"Mr. Medill entered .
