THE ISSUE BEFORE THE PEOPLE,

-ConleSI on the currency ouestion. Th
Statesman has BEEN playing a double game
and attempting to bewilder ats traders in
maze ot words designed to obscure rarilp
9nah TO eiucldate the actual views of tn
edltor, and OF the party in Ohio. That h.
had concluded TO abandon the contest will
the leaders Of the hards, and yield the cues
tloDsin dispute, we were convinced and Fl
stated more than a week since. Although
ne has net gathered conrageto place the
Hamilton resolutions before his readers, hC
has not Fentured to utter word aoans
.tEeH radical and destructive doctrines, -
Ehe candidates nominated by the Hamilton
convention, he has endorsed knowingtha,
their sentiments are in accordance with The
resolutions. Thus we sea the game that i
to be played. While he flatters the -sof,e
with the tellef that he is with them and en-
dorses tier candidates, he commends with
equal readiness the hardest Of the hard no.
limitations How much claim to indencn-
dence or principle aman cautave who tbua
acts, we leave those inerestedsro decide.
The Fairfield resolutions, a portion of
them, have also been placed before our rea-
ders, that there might he no room for the
charge that we are emisrepresPnting tbe de-
signs and views of our opponents They
correspond in spirit with those sdonted in
Hamilton; and although they too have fail
ed to find place in the Statesman, we
have yet to see the first word against them
IN thatpaper.
We have now before MS the resolutions
OF Locoioco convention held in Henry
county, which we fad in the Kalida Ven.
ture. They are atrocious in sentiment,
and indicate as do all the signs of the times
that This is the death-slruggle of that fac
ton The head OF which has stood lor wears,
such men as Huea, TappaR, Banipg, .Nc-
sNuhy and Bying'oH. Forced by the hon
est and fearless action Of the late Legisla-
ture to throw off all Disguise, they now
launch o0Linto the final contest determined
TO try the virtue OF bold move. If, BY anvil
iortultous circumstances, The remssness Of
their opponents or any other cause, tbey
succeed, the coast is clear for them and |
they can do their worst without exposinp
themselves 70 tlie charge of having trium-
phed on i&lse issue. Hence we are de-
termined that they shall speak for them
Eelves through our columns, and that all
men OF all parties shall realize, if, possible.
