The Test in Ohio.

The most curious thing that strikes an OBJ
server Of the proceedings of the Ohio legisla-
ture, is the way the free-soi leaven is worked
into every election, from the greatest to the
smallest
The Statesman gives the following striking
example of this in the. editorial notice we sub
join. Verify, it looks like the cxtirpation OF
abolition by the passage the "healing meas
ures of compromise"
"The defeat of Mr.. Convers for Supreme
Court Judge, was not looked for by us, but rs
we learn, not unantcipated by him. We I'M
derstand that some of the Free-soiIers sent
message to him to ascertain his opinions upon
certain matters, and that he promptly and very
properly declined to give any pledges or promises
Just on the eve of an election. We commend
him, for judicious men, everywhere, will CON-
mend him for this. But because he acted this
prompt manly part, there where those that re-
fused to vote for him, and threw their votes for
Mr.. Ranney, who, it is understood is pledged to
the Free-soilers on the constitutionality of the
Fugitive slave law.
We do not wish to be understood as censurinc
the Free-soilers for voting for Mr.. Ranney and
refusing to vote for Convers. There was no
breach of faith, expressed or implied, on their
part There was no bargain that they should
vote for him or the Wing candidates. If they
had previously voted for some of them, it was
with the conviction that by so doing they were
advancing the bes. interests of the people of
Ohio, and as they found they could not induce
either of the mountains to go to Mahomet, they
concluded it was advisable for Mahomet 10 go
to the mountain, and do the best they could if
they could not do as they desired.
The prompt, manly act of Mr.. Converts in
putting an end to the controversy in convention,
by desiring the Speaker to announce Mr.. RaDney
as elected, drew forth warm commentators
from even his political opponents. He has made
warm friends by this event, if he has lost the
judgeship for few months.
