sLANDEE REFUTEB.
THE BUCKEYE BLACKSAaFpFT.

Mr.. John w. Bear, the I" Buckexe blaeifS
smith," has been ys1ade the object of agrce and
uHzEemitting persecution. The most Infamous
and improbable ISLANDERS concerning him have
been propagated through the press and orally
We invite the attention of the public zua the
particular attention Of those who have been en-
gagged in the dissemination of these slandsrs, to
the annexed statement. This statement was
procured by gentleman Of this place, VIII s1las
given Us permission to publish it. MIR. Rsar,
as he himself told the people, is plain, obs sre
man, vzho is known only in his own nelgh3or-
hood; 1t was consequently more easy to fabricate
ISLANDERS concerning hira, and more difficult for
him to Fvbut them If he had travelled in a coach
attended by servants, and been known as one
of the n0gnates of the land, these democratic
gentry would have been less hasty in forming
unfavorable opinions Of him.
The subioined certificate is signed by the
most respectable citizens Of South Bloomfield
the village in which he has his home. Mr.
Bear, left with us, when he was here last, let
ter of recommendation, bearing the names Of
some of the most distinguished citizens of Ohio,
which letter mny be at this Office.
Some Of the names attached to the subjoined
certificate are hardly legible and may be printed
incorrectly.

that our fellow-citizen JOHN w. BEAR, has been
slandered in the vilest manner by the press and
otherwise, at the East and having been request
ed to state what we know concerning him,-do'
certify to all whom it may concern, that he has
lived amongst us, and we have been well ac-
quainted with him for more than three years, and
that he is Just what he processes to be- JOHN
w. BEAR, poor hut honest and industrious
blacksmith, that has respectable family which
he has supported by laboring at his trade and
that alone, that he has never been known by any
other name than John w. Bear, that he is not q
defautcr and is not guilty of larceny any otheE
crime or act that will prevent his returning 10
this neighborhood whenever he pleascs, as pre-
tended by those who SANDER and abuse him, and
that we are credibly informed that Mr.. Bear, sus'
tanned the same character in other counties
where he resided before he settled with US.
Nothing but a desire to have justice dene to every
honest and worthy American citizen has praapt-
ed us to make the above declaration.

AaN bC AeA<@NH
| In 1920, when the Mis-
sonri restrictioniSts were
threatening the Union with
dissolution, the following
preamble and resolution
were adopted by the legis-
lature OF New York, MR,
VAN BuRES was a member
at the time, and voted for
them.
Preamble and Resolution.
Whereas, the inhihiting
the further extension of
slavery in these U. States,
is a subject of deep concern
10 the people Of this State;
and, whereas, we consider
slavery as an evil much to
be deplored, and that every
constitutional barriershould
be interposed to prevent us
further extension, and that
the constitution of the U.
States, clearly giving Con,
gress the right to require OF
new States, not compre-
hended within the original
-boun larics of the United
States, the prohibiting OF
slavery as a condition OF
their admission into the
Union. Therefore,
Resolved, That our SEN
ators be instructed and our
representatives. in Congress
be requested to oppose the
admission as a State into
the Union, of any territory
not c0nprised as aforesaid,
making the prohibition OF
slavery therein an indis-
pensible condition of ad-
mission.
In 1921,
Mr.. Van Buren,, as a
member of the New York
convention, he voted TO
give free negroes the right
of suffrage.
In 1922,
Mr.. Van Buren, voted 10

FELL's POINT.

CITY COURT.-Thursday, June 9th.
Before judges Brice, Nesbitt, and Worthington.
The District Attorney rose and stated, that in
regard to the three indictments which had been
found against Potee, Matthias Nicholson, and
John VaR Horn, for a murderous assault on
Thomas Laughlin, deceased, on the 4th of May
last He felt himself compelled to abandon
them on account of the character of the testimony
he had obtained, and its ineficiency to bring
home the charge to the prisoners.
1t therefore, seemed to him, unnecessary to
impannel jury for the trial of the accused, and
they might NOW be discharged from custody.
Messrs. Nelson, Buchanan, and Preston, made
few remarks in defence of the characters of
their clients, exculpating them from the grave
charge made against them, as being without
foundation, and calculated TO injure their stand
ing in society, unless jury was sworn to hear
the evidence, and acquit them upon it, SO as to
stand perpetual testimonial of their entire in
nocence.
MIR. Buchanan, in the course of his remarks.
said that if the trial of these men had proceeded,
he meant 10 have offered very conclusive proof
to show that Laughlin never had been killed
that he had been subject to fits, and that the pre-
sumption was that he died of fit. He (dr. B.
concluded by saying that he would much prefer
that jury should be empannelled, and that
verdict of not guilty should be put on the record
as it might be important hereafter to the ac-
cpsed.
After few words from the District ATTORNEY.
the clerk was directed to enter on the record thai
the prisoners were acquitted, being NOT GUILTY
