The prospects for o largo turn out, on Sat
urday last, were anything but flattering.
About six o'clock in the morning it com
menced pouring down rain and continued
without intermission until eight. However,
we, in common with "the rest of mankind.
feeling an interest in tho welfare of our "be
loved country," harnessed our "one-horse
locomotive" and started in tho rain. On
going up town wo were not long in finding
a fellow passenger to "share our fate" with
us, when we set out for Bowling Orcen.
After it stopped raining, tho sun sooti came
out gloriously. The people, too, began to
turn out in large numbers about one hun
dred and twenty going out from l'crrysburg
town and township. Kvcry township in
the county was largely represented; and,
though not quite so large as ono year ago,
tho Convention was respectable in size.
Promptly at the appointed hour, tho Con
vention was called to order by tho (.'hair
man of tho Central Union Committee by ap
pointing Capt. Asher Cook aa temporary
Frcsident. For this mark of honor, the
Captain tendered the Convention his unqual
ified thanks. If ever there was a time for
unity, a time when wo should come up like
men, that time wan now; and our action to
day would bo a leaf in tho pages of future
history. About eight hundred of our friends
wore now gone to sustain the flag of our
country to stand shoulder to shoulder in
defense of the best government the sun ever
shone on. Let us then with the same una
nimity join in solid column to cheer and
sustain them. When tho rebels of South
Carolina made tho assault on Sumpter,
Stephen A. Douglas called upon tho Presi
dent of 'the United States, Abraham Lincoln,
and there pledged himself to give his Ad
ministration his undivided support, until
every State in rebellion should be compell
ed to acknowledge the supremacy of tho
Federal Constitution. That was a glorious
event in the history of our national troubles
worthy tho great heads of this Govern
ment, and a fit example for us to bo govern
ed by to-day.
Upon motion Daniel Barton, Esq., was
elected Vice President, and J. "V. Bailey
and E. A. Higgins, Secretaries.
Mr. Price moved the appointment of a
committee of six to report rules and regu

Immediately upon the adjournment of the

buso against the Perrysburgers because
they wouldn't sanction a movement in con-
! volition by wlucn that gentleman could ride
into tho prosecutorship.

Patriotic Speech of Mr. Whiteley
at Bowling Green.
A Malicious lie Refuted.
Immediately after dinner the peoplo be
gan to gather in largo numbers at the grove
nt Rowling Green for the re-orgnnizalion of
the Convention. Judge Whiteley, being
present, was loudly called for to niako a
ppeeeh. We wero not present at tho open
ing of his reiuaks, but we understand they
savored with the genuine Union sentiments.
Iu his allusion to the partizan bickering now
going on by ono party, was to be attributed
ono great drawback to tho grand Union
movement in rallying to tho support of the
Government, to tho suppression of this
groat rebellion. He felt to say this was all
wrong. Why should this be T Why the
necessity T The protection, pence and hap
piness the Constitution has afforded us
surely was enough to cause us to rally to its
support. In times of peace he had engaged
in pnrtizan issues, but now when tho enemy
nrc thundering at tho very gates of our
Capital, the bickerings of party spirit could
only be indulged in by tho enemy of Mds
country's good. He therefore warned all
friends of the Government not to be deceiv
ed by supporting those who wero giving
aid and comfort, to tho enemy. Now, he
said there were a class of j'cople who were
inclined to be continually linding fault with
the Government. They have much to say
about tho unconstitutional nets of the Pres
ident, but do we ever hear from them one
word of reprobation for Jell". Davis and his
crew ? One of the great cries of this party
is, " Peace, pence !" Up to the 22d of las"t
February, ho himself was a pence man
that is to suv he was in favor of an equita
ble compromise a compromise between
both sections if that could have been brought
about. Put after that time his hopes began
to wane, till the rebels declared they want
ed no compromise, but n dissolution of this
glorious Union. With whom would we
compromise ? Suppose we were to go to
work and call State Conventions nnd elect
delegates to go down South nnd offer them
compromise, as a settlement of our troubles.
Why they could take our delegates and
hang them, and you may rist assured, dele
gates from that section wouldn't servo much
better fare were they to be sent north of
Mason and D.xon's line. The talk about
peace and compromise is all useless mere
pasttime. All they ask is separation, and I
know my friends here will never grant that
will you ? Several hundred voices with
nn emphatic "No!" Another argument of
this peace compromising party is what 'they
call th6 Lincoln war for the subjugation ot
tho South. Now my good Union Democrats
and Union friends, do you suppose this war
was w.iged by Abe Lincoln for the subjuga
tion of the South. Democrats, Republicans
and every lover of this glorious Union, have
not stopped to inquire as to tlio particular
politics of one or the other, but as one man
lushed forward to Pi:st:tin the glorious sturs
and stripes. Mr. Lii.coln is nothing mote
nor less than the representative of the Con
stitution, and as such m ist necessarily have
tho support of all loyal men, or che it must
be trampled under foot. Ave yo'i re idy to
surrender your birthright handed down to.

the wicked schemes of Ji ll'. D.iv s? j 'No.

rebellion must be pt.t duw and put down
by force of urnis, and to t.i's end he was
willing to lend his time an 1 aid. ami if need
be, bin life. Now w:is no time for the dis
cussion of the cauncs of the w,ir. but niter
tho war was over, ho h d no doubt but that
people would have their views on that
subject. For bis ow n part he thought it
would bo disposed of as was a question
which occ urred some years ngfl in Philiulel
plra, which has never yet been settled, and
which never would be. lie alluded to the
celebrated question. "Who s ruck Billy Pat
terson ?" lie thought there would bo much
discussion on the subject, but like tho man
who struck Billy Patterson, it would never
find a satisfactory solut'on.- Another po;nt
in the argument oi' those who are disposed
to cripple the efforts to sustain tho Govern
ment was that tho President had (suspended
tho writ of habeas corpus. Now he was
not prepared to tay whether the President
had violated his constitutional obligations
in that act or not. But one thing he would
say, wero he President ho would have
S'U ponded the traitors instead of the habeas
corpus. Loud cheering. These partizans
also have much to say about the liberty of the
press. Now those of his friends who were
acquainted with him, and who had heard
him speak upon the stump beforo, well
knew that ho had been an earnest supporter
of the rights and freedom of the press, in
which was bound up tho safety of our free
institutions. Hut when a great domestic re
bellion is threatening our government with
destruction, and there were presses engaged
in giving aid nnd comfort to the enemy, and
discouraging the efforts of tho Government
in putting down tho rebellion, ho felt like
doing with tho editors as the President has
done with tho writ of habeas corpus, or, us
he said in reference to that writ, suspend
the editors instead of the press. These par
tizan papers had much to say about what
tho war was being carried on for, nnd sumo
of them tell us that it is for the purpose of
freeing the negroes. Now for his own part
ho did not think that any loyal friend of the
Union need be frightened upon that score.
Tho Government had guaranteed protection
to the lives and property of all loyal men,
nnd those who were not loyal did not de
serve the protection of tho Government.
These men seem to think they havo a right
to do all in their power to cripple tho Gov
ernment, and then if they are called to ac
count, cry out lustily for protection cry
for the protection of the very Government
they aro trying to destroy. Our sons aro
going into this war by thousands ; these
negroes are being used to build fortifications
lor their destruction, and while he had all
his life been opposed to liberating the slaves,
yet if it became an incident necessary for
the suppression of the rebellion and restore
pcuco to this country, ho would say let them
go. Since April last he had spent his entire
time to the encouragement of this grand
Union army, and he hoped every true friend
of his country would drop, until tho Consti
tution is acknowledged throughout tho
length and breadth of the land, the discus
sion of partizan issues, and ceuso this par
tisan strife and partizan bickerings. If you
keep these up how can you make your sous
believe they aro fighting iu a righteous
causo? You tell them you are opposed to
the administration; you aro opposed to the
representative of our very existence as u
nation, aud you will discourage them in
joining in this grand army. The whole
truth of the matter is dissolution dissolu
tion. Jell. Davis says let us havo separation
and thcro will bo peace. Aro we prepared
fortius? Many voices, "No." Jackson
said, this Union, it must and sfiall bo vuo-
sorved. I stand right by that Jucksouian
doctrine to-. lay. Cheers. Ho said uny
thing looking to tho exteuuing of the boun
daries of this couutry ho was willing to
submit to ; but that any party may rise up
and attempt to cut oil' threat portion of that
we already have, he said put them down.
Better that the li!e blood ot the whole peo
ple be drawn aud tho whole nation bo re
peopled, than to sub in t to such tyranny.
lie begged to bo excused for occupying so
much of tho time of tho people, but said he
felt it necessary to state his Cosition clearly
and unequivocally, as he had been charged
in this county as being a secessionist that
he was opposed to this Union movement.
lie was gud to see the people come up in
such large numbers to niako thoir county
nominations. It was evidence of that burn
ing and deter joined spirit to stand by the
Constitution, the Uuiou and the enforcement
of the laws. He hoped they would take an
ezauipl in the doings of the State Union
Convention, that they would taks the beet
Union men, thst thdr action would be har
monious, that they would join in ono unite !
front, determined to stand by tho Constitu
tion. Ho had been charged "by men in this
county as having controlled the action of
the Democratic party in lUncock county.
He would simply say that statement was
false, that a creator rsrt of the time he wns
not in Hancock county at a'l, buUaway nt-
ii'iioing io nis oiuctai uusi:.css. it was said
that ho worked tho thing to suit his own
figure; had them to make their regular nom
inations, nnd merely to recommend him for
Judge. That was equally false, for the nom
inations of the Democratic party were made
last April, und he could have had no control
had he have wanted to. Put there wns
another party sweeping over Hancock coun
ty, tho gram! Union party, the true, unflinch
ing supporters of the Administration in tho
suppression of the rebellion. lit the matter
of canvassing for volunteers ho had been
pretty well over tho county, and what ho
stated ho know from personal olnervat'on.
He thought tho Union party would sweep
that county with such a vote as had never
been cast beforo. It is true that a party
issue is boing waged in that county, but
then it was dying -dying dying fast dy
ing out, nnd by the October election, those
who held party as the first object of preser
vation, would lind about two hundred votes
on their side of the house, nil told. Ho
camo hero to-day to see and talk to the
friends of tho Union. Ho Im 1 heard that
the Union cause hero was even greater than
in Hancock; and tho many Democratic laces
he saw taking part iu this Convention, car
ried out ,this conviction. It was evident
that they came here not opposed to (he Ad
ministration, but as unconditional support
ers of the Government ready to join with
Union men of whatever politics to save our
country. Again thanking the Convention
for its kind attention, Air. Whiteley took his
seat, amidst enthusiastic cheeringj
The Senatorial Convention.
The Convention called to place iu nomi
nation a Uuiou candidate for State Senator,
for the District composed of the counties of
Wood, Lucas, Henry, Fulton, Hancock and
Putiium, met pursuant to public notice nt
Ottawa, on Thursday the 12th inst., nnd
was organized at 12 M. by calling K. D. Nye,
Esq., of Toledo, to the Chair, and Mr. Foster
of Fulton was elected Secretary.
On motion a comniitteo of five, composed
of one delegate from each county, was ap
pointed by tho Chairman to report upon the
permanent organization of the Convention,
the credentials df delegates, apportionment
of votes in Convention to the several coun
ties, rules, &c. Tho committee consisted of
Messrs. Ross of Wood, nail of Lucas, Pal
mer of Hancock, Howard of Fulton and
of Putnum. Henry county was not repre
sented. The Convention then took a recess
for an hour to enable the committee to make
its report. On re-assembling the report of
the comniitteo was received and adopted.
A motion was ma le to lay the rule requir
ing each candidate to pledge himself to sup
port the nominee of the Convention on the
table, and elicited considerable discussion.
Tho motion was lost by a large majority,
and each candidate was required cither in
perf on or, if absent, by his friends to pledge
his honor to support tho nominee of the
Convention. Thereupon tho Convention
proceeded to chooso by ballot its nominee
fir Senator.
The candidates were Israel Green and C.
M. O'Neal of Hancock and Dr. Godfrey of
Putnum. The latter receiving a majority t.f
all tho votes cast, upon tho first ballot, was
declared unanimously nominated.
His name being loudly called, the Doctor
took the stand and made a brief but most
happy nnd patriotic speech. His platform
is "no compromise or peace until the Con
stitution is vindicated, tho laws executed,
and tho flag of the Union floats upon every
fortress in the country." To accomplish
this ho pledged himself ready to vote every
dollar of tho treasure, nnd every drop of the
blood of his constituents if necessary. His
speech was loudly applauded.
On motion of Judge Palmer tho Conven
tion adopted as its sentiments the resolu
tions of tho Union State Convention, and
pledged itself to support tho candidates of
that Convention.
The Chairman was authorized to appoint
a Union Executive Senatorial Committee to
consist of ono member from each county,
nnd announce thoir names at an early day
in tho Toledo Times and Blade.
The Convention they adjourned. Its pro
ceedings were characterized by great una
r imity, friendliness and a conciliator spirit.
Regret was expressed that no Democrat ap
peared as a candidate before the Convention.
Some of tho delegations had expected and
hoped to put a Democrat in nomination.
Dr. Godfrey is a man of remarkably frank
and winning manners, yet possessing at the
same time a good deal of natural dignity
which commands respect. Of late years he
has had very little to do with politics, but
up to the fall of 185C ho was nn active, un
flinching and outspoken Democrat. Dis
gusted, however, with the conduct of Pierce
in relation to Kansas matters, and knowing
well the capricious, truckling, treacherous.
heartless, unprincipled cnaractcr ot mat om
Pennsylvania dotard, James Buchanan, with
a discernment which did him honor, ho gave
his influence to the truely Democratic young
hero of tho west, John C. Fremont.
Since that time he has been regarded as a
Republican of tho conservative school.
He preaches no "irrepressible conflict" ser
mons, but plants himself fair nnd square
upon the Constitution, the Union and the
enforcement of tho laws. Such men are de
manded by tho present crisis, anil his elec
tion will bo hailed -vith delight by nil loyal

well bo in fact we don't see how it is pos
sible for matters to get any worse. We
havo an abiding faith that thora will b"
from this timo out an improvement. The
sudden plunging of the nation into war de
ranged everything business left its accus
tomed channel, and it lias taken timo for
men to adapt theinsol ves to tho now circum
stances with which they have found them
selves surrounded. Wo believe the timo
has arrived when men arc on a war footing,
and are prepared to sail easy. Men have
begun to discover that business must bn
done, war or no war, and tho pnnic once off,
we shall go on as gool as ever. So says
the Utuyru Journal,
A Family Blessing.

Who is Mrs. Winslow!
wo
simply say that she is a lady, who, for upwards of
thirty years, has untiringly devoted her time and
talents, as a female physician nnd nurse, principally
nniiing children. Sin- has especially studied the
constitution and wants of this numerous class, so
c.-niT.illy overlooked, or carelessly treated bv the
family iu too many instances: and as a result of
tins ellort, and practical knowledge, ohtaim'd iu a
lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, she lina
compounded a Soothing Syrup for children teething.
It operates lik magic- giving rest and health, and
is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In con
sequence of this article, Mrs. Wiuslow is becoming
world-renowned as a benefactor of her race j chil
dren certainly do rise up and bless her; especially
is this the case in lliis place. Vast quantities of the
Soothing Syrup are Ipaii.v sold and used here. It
has got to he u common rem o k, "1 had rather de
pend on .Mrs. Win.-dow's Soothing Syrup for mv
hiUlivn, than to have the mute. I tulvicoot theuv'd
ral faculty of the city." We think Mrs. Wiuslow
has immorialized her name bv this invaluable nrti-
le, and we sincerely believe thousands of children
have been save I from nn early grave by its timely
use, und that millions vet unborn will share ils ben
efits, und unite iu calling her blessed. No jiotiif.ii

in our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. Trv it, mothers

nnd have ilme so for a number of years and have
administered it for ails of all descriptions, both

tho best remedy extant. We well recollect its first
introduction for public patronage, it was then gold

Messrs. pK.miy Davis Son Gentlemen Allow
me, unsolicited, to send you a word of commenda
tion for your Pain Killer. 1 have used it h, my
family these several years, and found it nil it claims
to he. For Rheumatism, Coughs, Colds, Durus,
Cholera tendencies and dilliculiii-s, as Well ns dis
eases generally that prevails in families, I regard
the I'uin Killer as beyond all price, nnd as i-tliea-ciotis
beyond any medicine within my knowledge.
We keep it us our chief family medii in", and find
its use in ordinary rases worth mure than any
doctor. The testimony of others nir.org mv ac
quaintances and friends is eijiially favorable. !Miiny
clergymen have spoken of it in 'the highest term's
as a family medicine. Missionaries iu repeated in
stances have said to mo in person nnd iu their letters,
that the Pain Killer was by far tho best medicine,
used in heathen lauds, and t in y use it for themselves
and families, ami administer' it to otheis around
them. Thus much I am inclined to say ns an act
of justice to yourselves, and as a bcHclit to others.
