Are the Whigs AIadt---spangler decllnes--An-
other State ConventiOnl
Ii snone of Cur business, we suppose, but still we
ask are De lOhgs man We have never witnessed such
trihing with mems feelings.
Early in the winter was decided by the whig papers
that ;he 22d of February was not suitable time 10
hold their coLventon-the roads were too bad, &C.,
&c.
Just as this decisoin was made, pretty unanimously,
out came the Whig State Centeral Committee, under
the influence OF few lawyers here at Court and their
own bad passions, calling convention on the 10th of
January Expecting discord in the democratic conven-
ton, they anticipated Fun! but alasl tie democrats
were never as well united half as enhusiastc The
trouble and confusion was found to be in their own
ranks At last, and when lit expected that the con-
venton would break up in row, uiAing il was in
numbers they sort of hamonzed on David Spangler,
of Coshocton co.
Mr. Spangler not willing TO accept SUCH honors un-
der such circumstances very politely declines bearing
the live standard to be laughed at and ridculed
even by the sensible of his party Confusion then
regns worse confounded: The hornets nest was in a
doleful buz for 81 hours-when this ceebra-
ted Coon State Central Committee last night with
call for another State Convention the 22d Of Febua
ry. The delegates to the 10Th Sof January Convention
had not arrived at home before an express is sent after
them to come back and do their work over again.
Roads that tao bad TO permit one convection are
good enough to permit TWO, when it suits few wire
pullers to phil the people by the nose hundreds of miles
to crafty their own selfish purposes.
Many of the wings here, are indignant at this recond
attempt to gull and perhaps in the end betray them by
another abortion.
To show what is thought of this kind of business by
the wings themselves, we copy the following from
the Xenia Torch Light of the twenty first of December
last:
"Aporton of the people were in favor of the 22d Of
Febuary but the idea Of assembling at any earlier day
not dreamed ofby any body In the face of all these
facts, THE STATE COMMITTEE HAVE SUFFERED A
FEW POLITICIANS, assembled at Columbus 10
DICTATE a callfo Convention as above stated
We think it most REPREHENSIBLE MOVE
MENT; and such is the expressed opinion of every
whig by whom the subject has been mentioned in our
hearing The locofocos have been training their forces
for months with reference to their State Convention,
which to be holden the 9Th of January their regu-
lar day. and they will in all probability have large as
semblage On the other hand the wings are now called
to meet at short notice. and at an unexpected me and
the result must inevitably be comparatively small
convention This will be upon the very heels of the
ocotoco convention anthe consequences cannot but be
injurious 10 the whig cause The State Committee
ought to have sent their counsellors home ABOUT
THEIR BUSINESS, and then the people would have
attended to their own business in their own way. We
speak thus plainly because the times demand it. THE
WHIG PARTY OF OHIO HAS BEEN GRIP
Piled LONG ENOUGH BY SUCH COUNCIL
LORS There ought to be an end of these abuses"
The same paper hoped that the whig State Central
Committee might be revised and improved but it seems
otherwise!-S Statesman.
