Plain Talk.

The Piqua Register, fusion, took
the Dayton Journal, old line whig, to
task for not supporting Chase. The
Dayton Journal retons in very plain
language. ltsays:
"We have never 'apologized for
slavery nor have we ever failed SO
condemn the aggressive conduct of the
advocates OF the institution We no
more apologize for slavery thai we
apologize for abolitionism. We are
just as much disposed to Condemn ia
naLicism at the South as fanaticism OF
the North. But we do not believe for
all this that all the patriotism and phi
lanthropy which the Union contains,
is held North OF 'Mason 9 Dixon's
line;' that all the North is Simon Pure, ,
and all at the South is wicked and cor
Irupt. We have no more confidence in
the political honesty of Joshua R. Gid.
dings and Salmon p. Chase, than " e
nave III 'ne ueceicy 'oi DTlnglell0W--

Again:
"What folly thea is it for the sake of
concilia;ing such men as Joshua R.
'Giddings and his adherents to keep the
great, the only question, State Re-
FORM in the back ground, SO as to al
low G iddings q Chase to reproduce
their old speeches against slavery, and
so aid in bringing Ohio into the posi-.

crew, and fight under his black fac OF
