Npn. 6. :. Lewis

Hon. C,ls. Lewis, the Democratic can "a
didatc for Congress in this District, 's en- n
titled to the support Of every true Demo-
Graf in the coming election; and also 70 ?
the support Of every gentleman who pre-
fers deceney and honestly to immortality
and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Mr.. Lewis was one
Of The most efficient representatives ~ .
Congress that this District hss ma loff
many years; and he has a q 50 served ~ "
Legislature Of the State for . numDer y
sessions wi h marked ability and dis tipc-
ton whist in i he Legislature he was
ever the Jealous and consistent advocate
of tho Coyington and Ohio Railroad. 81
Mr. Lewis has risen to the position he he
now occupies by the dint and energy Of
Of his mind. Unlike his competitor, Mr.,
Garlic, no dark or infamous acts Of licen-
.iousness aud inccney defaces the record
Of his private life. His life has been one
Of honor and usefulness. Gan honest

"lud,ptnd.nt Republican"

/ y + "lud,ptnd,nt Republican"
From the general tone Of the last i''u
Of the Republican, there is some hope this
W may be able to bring our personal is
sues to an honorable close. at an Garlic
date than we had expected. In order t
accomplish 50 desirable an end. there j
but one important inm to be observed up
on their part-namcly, that they prov
4 themselves - ready to do US justice, q
Ithey arc to require justice I" our hands
I'VE are as willing as they that the files o
the Two paper. shall testify who have: as
sailed the personal characters Of the ed
itors; and We are willing that the readers
Of the Republican and Star shall decide
which have employed foul tpithsts in the
personal controversy in hand; and We e1'
pect to abide the public decision in regard
to who have best sustained the issues in,
volved.- !: ;"
/ The issue out Of which the CONTROVERSY
grew was not whether it is the duty Of ed.
itors TO publish communications involving
personal matters, bu. we commended that
ii the right was assumed by editors, that
cven-handed justice was demanded by a
reading public to all the parties concerned
aud in this we have not changed oar opin
ions or positions. We deny most posi-
lively that We have Instituted base and
slandereus charges against the editors
Of the Republican in the case. The facts
briefly given are as follows; Col, llAHvkr
and Mr.. HALE each wrote circular adj
dress to their constituents, tOh Of which
were published through the Star. and il
appears that each address was written
without either of the authors knowing any
thing Of the other until they were pub
'lished; hence they were not, at least by
US, considered personalassaults upon each
other. But Mr.. HALL followed these, IN
a review Of Col. HAnyEY's address, in
which he was personal, and some think as
much 50 as Col. HARyEY's reply. Mr.
Halls review was published in tho Repu6'
licqn, and the Star was requested TO copy,
but we declined, for the simple reasonthst
we did not intend to publish such personal
matters for either Of them. Hence, when
Col. HARVEY thought il was necessary tc
reply to Mr. HALLS review of>his address,
he had no claims upon the Star; therefore
he sent his Ms. to the Republican, where
he had acknowledged claims; and as they
were arbitrarily set aside, we published
under an emcrgent rule. This set the
two men even before the public; and any
thing further through either one OF the
papers would be a renewal or continual
ton Of the eontsoyersy--and having re-
lieyed the Republican Of one Of its owr
dirty Jobs" the parties had no further
claims upon either one Of the papers in th'
controversy. F.. - =.
Ws,accept the statement Of the last Re,
publican, disposing Of is chastity written
editorial which we had. adduced as eyi
