SENATOR PuGH AND THE COMMERCIAL.

rb sljtor Of the Commercial on Monday, seemed to
take pecuar pleasure in venting his ebulton of spleen
AGAINST Mr. Pugh senator elect He could write MOTH
ing without bringing in, In disparagng manner, the
e NJ that gentleman Even his leader under the mag
scent and bgh-soundng title of Ango-American Love
80 frae Trade and our own Condition wound up with
= ,h,st a, Mr. puqh whose general merits dement's
ond seem 10 have no more do with the subject than
the Pyramids of Egypt We read of anything that
was ugged in SO nappropriately and ridieuiously In
another article the Commercial thus relieved itself of
ofits gall and bitterness
awe have our doubts whether any slight appearances Of
inconsistency between his democracy and his senatorsh
will have the effect to induce Mr. Pugh 10 lay down his
chance In eight dollars day for six years 10 come Mr.
Pughs democracy made Of serner stuff That be is
friend of popular sovereignty we have known ever since he
fought his way into the legislature on the strength OF haV-
inc been a candidate, and defeated That was in ls4s
What had popular sovereignty 10 do, We should like to
know with his election 10 the Senate He was the candi-
date of small mnoritya dozen or so--and gas gam
mon money and pertnacity did the rest He commenced
political life to get Office; stepped from the whg TO the
democratic ranks in search Of Office trimmed between all
the factions of his party to office; sold himself and
his opnons to the administration TO make of Office
and he has got il The total of all his accounts is
himself and the senaorship To this time may add money
aud then the product viii be complete Mr. Pugh resign
Well that may do nicely Tor ekei out ne won't 90 IL
not he
We do not propose 10 notice the ridiculous proposition
that Mr. pugh should resign office TO which he was
elected few months ago 10y overwhelming majority OF
the peoples the duties OF which he
has not YET eneredhayng already done so in our reply
to the Gazette We simply copy the above IN order to
show our readers what depth partisan magnity cp
BILE of descending and TO brand cpery assertion therein made
with the appellaton of false We amazed that n this
community where Mr. Pugh is known public journal
should have the audacy 10 give utterance TO charges
which every man knows to be calunniousnot having
even the sernbance truth for their basis If there is
thoroughly unsel6sh pociana democrat from an honest
conviction of principet is senator elect There
nothing mercenary sorid in his composition Ii is
their knowledge OF these attributes OF his character
oued to the possession Of the finest taentshe highest
intellectual attnments-tha has given Mr. Pugh has great
and wedeserved popularity with the Of the people
in his native county and State His public career has been
hcky srewn with the distinguished marks of public
favor Scarcely the political history Of this
try early period in life has attained elevated
position and solely by his merits George h. Pugh
Without the advantages of wealth high family connes-
ions with extraneous influences aid himat an age
when barely eligible be takes his seat in the most ustr-
political body in the world;he Senate of the United
Staesas the representative of the third State in the
Union These incidents Of his career are the hest re-
on of the charges in the Commercial for polit-
cal trimmer and demagogne could have borne OFF such
high prizes against distinguished and worthy competitors
within the view of approaching aud intelligent public
The enycu deagugnes of the opposition may carp the
merits of Mr. Pnghmay traduce his motives and asperse his
character but their enyenoned shafts of caunny will
weaken the strong hold which the sterling champion Of
the Ohio democracy eoys Ia the confidence OF the people
Or stay his onward progress TO the future eminencc tha,
lies before HIM
