1549 - H&G Sept. 8; ed: 2/3 - The Custom House organ, in the absence of
its master, indiscreetly assails Mr. Lloyd on the subject of the Patriot
movement last winter. Does that paper desire to have the official conduct
of the Col1ector of Custom, and of the Deputy U. S. Marshall, now its
favorite candidate for the Legislature, in relation to those movements
canvassed? - We are ready. (verbatim) (1)
1550 - H&G Sept. 8; ed: 2/3 - We have for a long time been fully aware
of the policy of the Administration and its retainers in relations to
Ohio.
We have been well satisfied that no exertions were to be left untried
to break down the sound Whig majority, which for two years past so triumphantly
prevailed in this State. They have tried to gerrymander and
pack the Legislature. They seek, and have for years sought, to divide
us.
Are such men and such a party, aided by a few dissatisfied aspirants
to office to break down the Whig party of this county? "An indignant
'No' will be the response of the free, untrammeled Whig voters of Old
Cuyahoga. " (15)
1551 - H&G Sept. 8; ed: 2/4 - We understand that a very large meeting was
held last evening in the township of Mayfield, at which Jobn Barr, Esq.,
was put in nomination as a candidate for tbe Legislature. We have not
yet received the proceedings of the same, but expect to in time for tomorrow's
paper.
Mayfield will give a large and overwhelming vote for the people's
candidate. Locofoco Disorganizer of Yesterday.
We understand on good authority that no publ ic meeting was held in
Mayfield on Thursday evening, and that so far as Mayfield's giving "a
large and overwhelming vote" for the disorganizer's candidate, that the
disappointed aspirant for Sheriff in that township will only be able to
drum up some ten or dozen "dissatisfied" Whigs in Mayfield to aid him in
his attempt to break up the organization of the Whig party, because a
full convention of his fellow citizens did not see fit to treat the claims
of himself or his favorite for office with especial favor. (verbatim)
