The Hope of Whiggery.

The wings hope for success in the
approaching campaign, through di-
vision in our ranks. You can scarcely
lay your hands upon one of their pa
pers but what is filled with extracts
from that babe Of the Wooster Bank
the Wayne County Standard-week
before last our neighbor of the Star
quoted from that filthy concern para
graph asserting that it was "wicked
lie" that Gov. Shannon was in favor of
the issues ofthe democratic party as
set forth in the resolutions of the Sth
of January, and the same paragraph
occurs in all the whig papers.
The following extract Of letter from
Gov. Shannon to the editor of the
Holmes County Farmer, will show not
only the editor of the Standard, but
the rest Of the whig prints where they
will iind the Governor:
ss'On all proper occasions he had ex-
pressed his DISCRIMINATION TO support Col.
Tod. In HE opinion, an attempt to
change the issues or the candidate, would
lead to most disastrous consequences.
We must contend for victory under the
present issue, and united action will in
sure glorious triumph"
We have no hope, nor have we any
desire that these bank-boughts should
correct the thousand and one falsehoods
which they send adrift.

hibit its lunacy. In this county, it is
well known that some of the prominent
Odd Fellows took decided stand a.
galnst the election of their brother,
George Miller, and succeeded by rep
reseniatlons the most foul, in defeating
him. We suspect, however, that if
."secret societies" would tend to advance
the cause of whiggery, they would be
very proper and commendable in the
eyes ot the editor of the Star. There
would then be no suspicion of their "be-
ing used for political ends" Whether
the Odd Fellows is political society
or not, we are unable to say; but this
we DO know, that it has never promot-
ed the cause of Democracy in this
county.-Stark Co. Democrat.

control when the slaves were brought
on board. Yet, from the testimony OF
the men who came over from Rio as
passengers, there is no doubt the whole
affair was arranged Rio between
Berry and Gallano before the ship sail
ed. These men state that the first
place they anchored was at Onin, near
the river Lagos, in the Blight of Benin;
here they discharged portion OF their
cargo, and receiued on board number
ofhogsheads or pipes filled 'vith acater.
These were slowed on the ground tier,
and tier Of casks containing spirits
were placed over them. They uere
then informed that the ressel acas going
to Ka5indn for a load Of sloues.
On their arrival at the latter place,
the spirit twas kept on board until a few;
days before Berry gave up tie com
mand, covering up the water casks In
order to elude the suspicious of any
cruiser. For twenty days did Berry
wait in the roadstead of Kabinda, pro-
tected by the flag of his country, yet
closely watched by a foreign man-of-
war, who was certain of his intention;
but the instant that cruiser is compel
ed 10 withdraw for a few hours, he
springs at the opportunity ofenriching
himself and owners, and disgracing the
flag which protected him.
AS we are short-handed, I have
shipped hose men, much to their graf
ifcation, who came out as passengers
in the Pons from Rio TO Kabinda, IN
