The Defiance Banasr. since the open
ing Of tie Legislature has slavered
Sprague over with the vilest adula,ion
and flaitery for his course, in the hopes
by bis vote 10 get the Public Printing
for Scot, g. Bascom. Failing in this pre-
'ously honest design, the Editor Of the
Banner pre,ends suddenly TO have re-
ceiyed new revelation Of Spragues
character, and inqthe last number de-
nounces him with q bitterness which
shows how keen is the disappointment al
the failure Of the scheme. Living in the
same town with Sprague, at.the last elec-
lion, the Editor Of the Banner could not
have bet n ignorant Of Mr.. Sprague's
character in any particular; and knowing
all this, to flatter a "trailor," as hc now
styles Sprague, while any thing was like
ly TO be made by il, and afterwards hy-
procilically denounce him whenthe game
was up, shows as far as The Editor Of the
Banner is conce rned, that the old pro-
verb, there is ''honor among thieves, !" is
not always correct. lie ought TO know

cannot puddle in corruption wish"Hailors''

According 10 our promise, though not
according to usage, and at Mr. Sprague's
request, we publish his defence Of his
position, as written out by himself, and
We think that he explains the cause oflIis
absence from the Legislature, on the first
day OF the Session, honestly, and that
his absence at that time was no! designed,
though il might perhaps have been avoid
ed. In that defence Mr.. Sprague makes
The printing the whole question, while
he fails to explain satisfactorily hisrefusal
10 meet in caucus consultation with the
Democratic members Of the Legis' 'ature.
And bis want Of union with the other
members of the party, and not the Print
ing, has been in our judgment the ground
Of complaint against him. We have heard
that his refusal 10 meet with the Democra-
tic Representatives was based on tho
ground Of personal indignity, received at
tho hands Of the Speaker and others, in
sligated by secret charges made against
him by an individual of his District.-
But if this statement is truo, it would Tot
satisfactorily account for his avowed posi-
tion of action with',he Free Soilers.-
No single individual Of bis District, no
Representative Of another constituency,
could by any act ofwIong they might do
10 him, absolve hin from the strict dis
charge Of the duty he owed, and still
owes 10 The gallant and trusting Demo
cracy who selected him 70 represent
them. The bes, and perhaps the only
condemnation which he could have put
upon the secfe. charges, made against
him, would have been, instead Of pushing
matters to exiremites with the Demo-
cratic members Of the Legislature, to
have exhibited by his superior fidelity to
his party, The falsity Of the charges, and
the wrong of,he course pursued towards
him, and have left 10 his constituents the
duty Of resenting any indgnity visited
upon them in the person Of their Repre-.
sentative. This course, unfortunately
for his own reputation, he has not seen
fit to take. t'i 'z'iaaHS 1elist'
Organization is necessity of party
and we cannot see how Mr., Sprague car
ac, With the Free. Soil party, aud also
fairly represent The Democracy Of bis
District. The Democrats Of the North.
west District are firmly opposed to Sla,
very Extension, but they are equally opi
posed TO making this question a cause
or peiex. for separate organization.--
1t is difficult for US to find a justification
OF MI. Sprague's position. III

DESIGNATION oF JUDGE HART.

We learn by the Cincinnati papers,
that IL is the intention OF Judge Hart to
resign. Heshas already forwarded his
resignation 10 TO, the Governor, TO take
effect on The 4th Of next month. It is
his intention TO resume the practice oi
the law At the Cincinnati Bar. WI
II will be recollected that when Judge
Hart decided the .Roll Case" as i was
termed, the Wing papers Distinctly
charged him with being instigated by o
desire 10 retain the Judgeship, and that
his motive for deciding The case as he
did, was that he might thus secure the
support Of the democratic members OF
the Legislature. In this case The edi-
tors have turned out to be just about as
correct and ndmagnanimous as they usual
ly are in matters oflhis kind. The re-
signation Of Judge Hart brands their ma
lcious charges with The stamp Of false
hood, and il now remains to beasecn
whether thev will exhibit little candor
aud fairness for once. This is extremely
doubtful. II is a humiliating fact that
the papers of that party are very slow
in taking back charges Of the character
alluded to, even when they are proved TO
be unfounded. We observe already that
some of the small fly among them, in.
stead Of doing The fair thing, attempt 10
gel oyerit by silly attempts at low wit
iicisms y Thisis perfectly in character,
however. " @
The Cincinnati Dispatch, an ably and
honordbly conducted neuttal paper, has
the following just and appropriate re.
marks in regard Judge Hart; , M
ssThe decision Of Judge Hart in the
Roll case, which drew, down upon bin
the combined anathemas OF his party,
was made with firm purpose not 10 be
"a candidate, Notwithstanding the party
papers charged npon him, thai his course
was dictated by desire TO court The fa-
vor,of the majority Of the opposite party
in the present Legislature. With a
brother-in.Iaw whose case was involved
on the one hand, and his party clamoring
on the other, with a Roman frmness be
sleered a straight course through this
ScyIla and Charybdis, and decided ac-
cording to the agreed facts submitted,
and refused 10 impeach or amerce an
officer, charged BY bis accusers with no
fraudulent intent or criminal design.
Judge Hart yields up the ermine With,
out blot or blemish received at his
hands. On the contrary, he has been in
strumental in wiping out much, that has
long sullied and tarnished The robes Of
Justice. He takes with him in his re-
itrement, clear conscience and the res
pecs aud regard Of the honest and up
right portion Of all parties. His Judicial
career was brief, but he has accomplished
within that time more Than his prede-
cessors have been able TO accomplish in
years. When Judge Hart yields up his
seat on The bench, and resumes his place
al the Bar, he will be welcomed by his
legal brethren, and receive the wishes Of
lhe community, fof bis continued auc;
cess and well deserved pfosperiiy."--

MIR. OIay,s Compronlise.

Perhaps no better idea can be formed
Of the present feelings which mark the
contest between slavery and freedom
than the prompt and decided rejection
by the Southern Senators Of Mr.. CIay's
compromise. To northern mind, the
assurance ofnon-interyeniion in the Ter
ritories and the continuance of Slavery
in The District Of Columbia, with the
further assurance Of the protection of the
inter-slave trade, would have been salts
factory 10 the friends Of tho peculiar In
slitution, coupled as it would be with a
cessation of the agitation SO fatal to The
slave institution. But they demlnd the ex-
tension Of Slavery into California and
New Mexico and that it shall cease TO be
"a domestic and become National Insti-
tuition, accompanying and marking every
advance we make intentional greatness
with the black linesof servitade. This
cannoi be. The better sense Of mankind
Irevolls At the propagandism Of chains and
fetters by he arms and influence of the
Republic, and there can be no end to
agitation till more moderate couns Dis
prevail.
Mr.. Clay remainsihe consistent, prudent
friend Of Slavery as it is, and he has the
sagacity u perceive thatto insist upon
its extension at this time is to peril its
existence hereafter. But as the N. Y.
Tribune says, his compromise will not
work. And We are glad that il will not.

The Position OF General T.v,or.

Does not every body now see the wisdom which
guided General Taylor in his determination not 10
interfere with the action of Congress, by expressing
his views upon the Wilmot proyiso in advance II
he had done SO, and had assumed the position of a
sectional partisan, his influence as Chief Maeis-
trate of the nation, bound TO hold the scales, even
between contending sections, would have been en-
tirely destroyed Had he felt ever so much dis
posed to preserve tho Union in the day of trial. bis
influence would not have been able TO effect it, By
pledging himself TO neither section, he holds them
both in his power, and retains the authority 10
check the excuses of either.
IL required moral frmncss to persevero in this
determination, which it is not easy TO find For
not lending himself to party, General Taylor has
been assaied with fury Of which there is no ex-
ample IN the history Of former Presidents. The
abuse which has been showered upon him has no
parallel in the history Of party. continual fire
OF blackguard epithets has been kept up, from the
very moment This Inauguration by his bitter per-
sonal and political enemies. They had as well fire

they have not yet dismounted gun. They have
