that they can approve in TaPpan what
thew condemn On Morris? Resides, the
Cincinnati Gazette contradlcts the slando'
rous charge, and SAYS that sal The Demo
cratic candidates were pledged TO hostility
to Abolitionism." Surely, this Wing tcs-
timony will not be rejected by Wings
And further. Judge Tappan denies the
charge, in the following, which we cut from
the Ohio Statesman, "a great number of
Democratic visitors now here, with the
members of the Legislature, met Judge
Tappan in the large Hall of the American
Hotel last evening, where unusual good
cheer prevailed and good number Of pa
triotic toasts we're drunk & stirring spec
ches made. In reply to complimentary
toast, the Senator elect replied in neat
and most satisfactory manner. lie dwell
with effect ON the SANDERS that had been
put in circulation as to his being an Gboli-
zionist, and was responded to with the most
thrilling acclamations. On this head, as
we'll as others, his views correspond en-
trely with the present Administrotion,and
the present Majority in Congress"
And again, the Statesman, in speaking
of this foul charge, says: 'lt is nothing
ncp to US that Judge Tappan is not an abo-
litionst. Two or three years ago, in this
city. we heard Judge Tappan most decid-
edly condemn the abolition excitement
his remarks made on the evening of his e.
lection were exactly of the same tenor as
we understood years before. But with
what consistency does the lntelligencer or
its whig friends speak thus Of aboitionists!
Is not the wing party in close alliance,

The same paper says that the Wing ed-
tor of the Cincinnati Gazette, G. Ham
mon, Esq. is the Oldest editor in the state,
if not in the West, and gives the following
from the Gazette, Of Jan. LIST, and what
he says ought, at least, TO be good evi,
dencc with the Wing party:
GAS to Mr.. Tappan's quondam political
character, the Columbus Journal is in to-
tai error. Mr.. Tappan was a iacobin dc
mocrat from early life. HE WAS JEFF
FERSONIAN, IN RELIGION, IN PHI
LOSOPHY, IN POLITICS. His profess
sions, in all, were open and undisguised.
1t vexes me to see SO mach error set a
float, in regard to Mr.. Tappan-~hat he is
and what he has been. He is a gentle
man in his general manners He isa man
of good information, but am fearful he
will make poor partizan Senator in Con
gress."
The fedcralists assert that Mr.. Tappan
of Ohio, is brother to Arthur Toppan, Of
New York, and say that that alone, nay
even the very name is enough to condemn
him. How liberali But we have said anC
adduced proof enough to annihilate all tho
charge, and will end this article with thu
following, from the Free Trader:
