CORRUPT PRACTICES OF LOCO FOCO
FEDERALISM

FEDERALISM,
MEssRs EpToRs The following correspondence
copied from the Daily Ohio State Journal of the
10th inst. is of character, at so novel and ex-
traordnary that deem no apology necessary for ask
ing you to transfer it to the columns of your paper
The term of Judicial office in Ohio is septennal ;
and all appointments to the bench made by Joint
ballot of the General Assembly
During the last session of the Legislature Of that
State the seat of R. Wood, of the Judges of the
Supreme Court, about to become vacant by ex-
piraton of the term of his Office and he was candi-
date for reappointment Other gentlemen were under
stood to be candidates; and particularly J r. Swan,
then and now President Judge of one of the Circuits
and who is gentleman distinguished for his legal at.
tanments, and purity of character 1t will be recol
lected that large majority OF the Legislature belong
ed to the Van Buren, Federal party and that they
then engaged in of determination against
the banks and currency of that State.
To enable them to execute their designs with more
fatal certainty they venured the daring and profit
gate expedent of attempting, first TO corrupt the
didates, and then of exactng an aroicai Of that
ruption as The only condition Of their appointment.
What must be thought of that cannot be
sustained without poisoning the very foundation OF
Justice What, of the leaders of party who dare
to require secret pledge from the candidate for
judicial station that he WILL in the event Of his cleo
ton, decide certain class of in particular way
without regard to the force Of truth the manifest
rights Of the parties before him
The attempt to poute the bench of justice by filling
it with perured Judges disclosed in the
dence given below scarcely equaed in arociousness
by the open and therefore less dangerous attacks
made by the leaders Of the party the nstitu-
tons of the Christian religion. With such men,
the sacrifice Of honor and of the consciousness Of in
tegrity, is very light thing, in comparison with the
loss Of political power.
1t is due to ]. r Swan that able and upright Judge
to say that the frank and manly rebuke he admins
tered to the conspirators in his their inter
rogatories saved him from the dshonor Of having con
ferred on him an appointment that rendered not
the reward Of learning, talent and virtue hut rather
by way of premium for the greatest degree of venal
compliance and selfdcgradation.
What answer was returned by Judge Wood may
be inferred from the fact that he passed through the
ordeal and received the appointment from the hands
Of those who had dared to tamper with his integrity
No wonder that the People should have risen ii
their might, and have hurled the perpetrators Of such
outrages against public morals, and the most sacred
institutions of the country from their seats OF power
less signal overthrow would have been an inadequate
punishment of their fragrant offences against law and
social order.

The Globe is endeavorng 10 produce the inn
pression that SCALED session of Congress-"
and deposite of the public moneys with the
Pennsylvania Bank of the u. S.. will be among
the first acts of Gen. Harrison's administration
There will be no called session of Congress,
unless the condition of the Treasury renders il
absolutely necessary. Whether that necessity
shall be obviated rests with the present admins
ration and its friends in Congress. Mr.. Wood
bury will be called upon to show in the cearest
manner the results of his stewardship. If vast
national debt is to be left for President Harrisons
inheritance, the fact must and will be made per-
teety apparent. Upon the books ofthe Treasury
me balance will be struck, and through all the
Departments, we doubt not, the point at which
,h, administration terminates and the new one
begins, will be made clear. II a new Congress
should be called at an earlier period than usual,
!, will be because the conduct Of the admnistra-
ton will have made il necessary. But of such
an event we have no foreknowledge, nor has the
Globe any right to predict il, unless il has know
ledge of things which the Executive has not yet
permltted to be common TO all ofus.
The idea of depositing the public moneys with
the Pennsylvania Bank, is merely gratultous and
imaginary Such thing is not even conJectured
by the Republicans, SO far as our information ex-
tends. How can any such thing be conjectured
when nobody knows Of whom, or how, the go
yernment is TO be composed?
The speculations Of the Globe amount to no
hing, except 10 indicate the factious spirit of
those who sustain il. There is not only every
thing which Gen. Harrison may do, or omit to do,
but every thing which the Van Buren, federalists
ran conceive of, that's to be perverted misrepre-
,ented, and tortured into foundation for opposi-
iinn
