ners. That the War with Mexico has
enabled the people of this country to
discern the virtue, simplicity and honesty
of Gen, Taylor's character, we willingly
cOncede. Generous as is the American
heart it gladly embraced the opportunity
to reward public services nobly perform
ed and a public character eminently
worthy. Everything works together
for good, "and we are not surprised that
bad Administration in bad cause was
the instrument of elevating to the Chief
MagiStracy Of this Nation an individual
highly fitted for that exalted station.
The Aings at Gen. Taylor's imbecility,
the assertion that the democracy fought
his battles and others of like nature,
fall as harmless as the rawlings of the OPP
position press, their only tendency being
to level the speaker with his co.workers
in defamation.
We have written this much, not be-
cause it was Col. Medill who made the
speech, but it will answer as reply to
the thousand and one articles of defama-
ton, with which the opposition press is
teeming, written and spoken by disap
pointed office'seekers as we'll as behead

for Whitman Behead''

Firebrand ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
for Whitman Behead--
ed--BIaCk Laws, &c.
AT the County Convention, on Monday,
deep game was played by one of the
aspirants for Congress to defeat the 9th,
ers. Among the resolutions, we notice
the substance of several, which evident
Iy are intended as condemnation Of
Messrs. Whitman and Keller, the former
especially. 1t was resolved that the De-
mocracy of Fairfield were opposed
To Negro Suffrage
To the repeal of the Black Laws
To the defeat OF William Allen
1t was further resolved that the De-
mocracy fully endorsed the course of
William Medill, had full confidence in his
integrity and welcomed him back to the
county; but no resolution was passed, en-
dorsing the course of Mr.. Whitman or
confding in his integrity-a studied ST.
lence, on this topic, aimed thrust at the
Honorable member of the Senate, which
all his ingenuity and talent will scarcely
be able to ward Off 1t is yet to be as
certened whether the defeat of Steward
is not part of the same game, so adroit-
y managed and so we'll played.
TIE late Marshal was the mover Of the
Resolutions, and of course the Chairman
He had them ready cut and dried for the
occasion, and so unexpected was the
movement, that the Convention, which
met to ratify the nomination Of Mr.. Kel.
ler unintenlionaly, we doubt not. con
demned his course and that of his col
league. The former gentleman, who was
present, looked wildly around when the
resolutions were read, but he saw nc
signs ofopposition upon the faces ofmem
bers of the Committee, and was compel
led to submit in silence TO the sentence
passed upon him.
The leading members of the Com.
miltees are recognized as the opponents
of Mr.. Whitman, and why he was moi
there to defend himself is matter Of sur
prise to many. The matter has been
freely talked over by the Democracy, bu
with the exception of a single lamenta
ton by member ofthe Committee, whC
acknowledged his ignorance of the forc'
of the resolutions, they must stand recor
ded as a monument of disgrace, erected
by the Fairfield County Democracy, owe
the political remains of the members o
the Ohio Legislature, who disgraced
themselves, sold their party, violated
their pledges, inundated Senator AlleI
aud dug their own graves.
We have no tears to shed. So long
as the citizens of this county will submi
to the dic,ation of the political dema
gogues, who move into their midst, on an
excursion after office and spoils, the,
must expect bargain and sale," wheI
necessity requires it, at the hands of tn,
leaders.
