BY The seventh and eighth paragraphs OF the States

OF that Journal speaking from his personal knowl

Mr. Corwin did, in the OF 1913. al Ripley. in
Ohio. proclaim Mr. Fillmore then TO be "a kno1n abo-
iion p and that proof OF his assertion he referred TO
Mr. Flmore's correspondence, conduct professions
and standing prior TO his nomination for Vice President
With these grounds OF Mr. Corwins declaration, how
ever, have at this time and in this controversy moth

iion Mr.. Corwin publicly deeIirsd Mr.. Fillmore TO be
ga knoWn aboionisf" and that the President himself i'm
pedy sanctioned that declaration by making Mr. Corwn
member Of his cabinet As to Mr.. Corwins right TO
make such declaaiion-as to his ability to sustain it
all that is matter quite personal 10 the President and
his Secretary of the Treasury. 1t is strictly cabinet
matter, and in this issue no business OF ours
But must request the Republic to note that. in its
quality OF Especial organ" OF the President and cabinet
has peremporily and positively denied fact of much
public and personal interest, which is not only now
proved by direct testimony. but also proved be mat
ter OF public notoriay We must request the Republic
to note the "unspeakable establishment" at that denial
with which the Statesman opens its testimony upon
the subject 1t becomes duty 10 suggest to our
aeighbor in these premises that its unqualified de
NAL, TO say the least OF it, is nconsiderae. We
cannot doubt that the Republic will the impera-
tire necessity of clearing up its part in this bust
ness without delay and, in order TO facilitate so de-
sirable result, we ask the special organ" TO state
upon chai grounds an by ahu authority vennred TO
deny public declaration of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury in regard TO the President which out 10
be as notorious il is important and remarkable We
shall be glad to see the Republic excate itself from
this predicament in not dscreditable to its
character as an off cal public journal.

About six or eight weeks ago, nearly as re-

the OF ls4S, in Ohio, in public speech, had
was, as we understand, the speech in which Mr.
Corwin spoke of himself the I" faiher' OF the Ohio
aboiiionss, and of them his children" We have
repeatedly during the past six or eight weeks, and in
the pointed terms, called the Republics attention
to Mr. Corwn's alleged language as TO Mr.. Fillmore;
and for the first time, do we find the Republic deny
ing il, and at transfer that denial entire 10
columns. We have never seen or heard OF any denial
OF il in any other journal Believing the Republic TO be
wholly in error in present denial, and hoping TO
see explicit and auihor zed statement on the subject
inform the Republic that in July last the statement.
in the very words which we have used appeared edllo
and place at which the speech was made About the
time when the Slaesman's article appeared We recol
ect Mr. Corwin was himself in Ohio; yet so far we
know and believe denial OF the statement made
by the Ohio State Journal or any other wing press in
any other form. The Statement, was copied from The
Statesman into the Nashville Union, and polnledy
mended day after day to the attention OF the wing press
Of Tennessee, and was TO our knowledge, never ques
toned denied, Under these circumstances, we have
assumed and believed and still believe il TO be not only
true, but notorious. Bat we promptly give all whom
may concern the benefit of the Republics denial
Remarks Of the Ohio Staesman
Ii is a matter OF unspeakabe establishment tina, the
Republic could deny so boldly or in any manner. the
statement that Mr. Corwin recommended President Fill

Prior 10 1915 when required by the state OF the
weather. the wings OF Ohio had always proiessed 10 be
The abolition party par excellence When the small
coerle OF northern anti-saveTy men, IN $780, rallied
around Biney IN preference to General HARRISON and

And no man ever labored with more apparent ZEAL or
with fervent professions OF honesty in any cause
since the days OF Peter the Hermit than did Mr. Corwin
those times, in order TO convince the anslavery
of and OF the groundessness oil their disus

him make appeals to Heaven OF the most fearful solem-

their organizations and return 10 the embraces OF the
wings which they had, TO use his phrase, so inconl
nently deserted, without Just cause provocation I"
Why. an Ohio wing will laugh in derisiop nj this
timely and groundess denial OF the Republics The
facts assert notorious any other events OF
those most eventful campaigns. Mr. Corwin would no
more dare deny them in Ohio than he would dare deny
his God.
And now 10 the direct point when Taylor and Fill |
more were nominated, there large detection OF the
anti slavery men OF Ohio from the wing party, because
General Taylor, then asserted, owning large number
Of slaves and connected with the slavery interests by
many other influences not worthy of their support
The wings after some time elapsed, induced Mr. Corwn

II was supposed a, first that Mr.. Corwn would not
swallow the pill himself, and heard scores OF those
who then regarded Mr. Corwin the "faiher OF abo
lionism" Of Ohio rejoicing that be had not bowed the

When he was, however, announced by the whig State

State for the purpose OF advocating the claims OF Taylor
and Fillmore, the soil men were asiounded There
was among them, among all classes general anxiety
