From the Ohio State Journal
The Ohio Statesman the Organ of
the Society of Jesuits.

Mr.. EDITOR: Every one who has been
in the habit Of reading the Statesman
since it last came into the hands Of its
present editor, must have noticed how
every opportunity is seized upon TO SIAN
der. vilify, and traduce Protestant
churches, Protestant ministers, Protes.
tant benevolence, and every other Protes-
tant institution; and equal pains taken to
commend and give the greatest publicity
TO every benevolent act of Catholic
priest or Catholic society. Scarcely
week passes but you will find in the
Sta ateSman extracts from other papers, Of
some benevolent act done by some Cath
olic priest, Jesuit or nun, but never
notice or extract commenting Protestant
ministers, or the benevolence Of Protes
tant ladies'. On the contrary, their acts
of benevolence are sneered at; and if
Protestant clergyman, as is sometimes
the case, brings reproach upon his reli'
gion and profession, it is published and
commented upon in the Statesman, with
fiendish delight, that would mantle with
shame the brow Of any man that did not
carry in his bosom Jesuit's heart. But
if Catholic priest happens TO commit any
act unbecoming his profession, and al
though the fact may be published in
nearly every secular paper in the coun
try, you never find it copied in the Safes.
man.
Can any other conclusion le drawn
from these notorious facts, than the editor
of the Statesman is a member or merce-
nary tool of the corrupt, debasng, and
intriguing sect of Jesuits, whose main
Object is to build up Popery, aud put
down Protestantism! But this is not q
tithe of the evidence before the public
that the editor of the Statesman is in
sympathy with, and the tool of, this cor.
rupt society.
Are not the Jesuiis opposed to the dis.
tribution of the Bible among the people,
and do they not sneer at Protestant Bible
Societies engaged in this benevolent
workl So is and does Sam Medary. See
an article on the subject in his Sunday
edition of July lst.
Are not the Jesuit priests opposed TO
our system Of common schools, designed
to educate and elevate the entire mass Of
our youthl So is Sam Medary. Wit
ness his Market House speech last spring,
and several articles in the Statesman
about the same time.
Are not the Jesuils opposed TO all tenn
perance legislation and laws against
groggeris and gambling houses and the
Maine Law in particular So is Sam
Medary. Witness the Market. House
speech, and the general character of his
paper.

now advocated, and they were Popery,
Slavery, Whisky and Spoils.

A POWERFUL MEDIUM.-A drunken
fellow out West, says that while recently
experimenting in spiritualism, and furni'
ture moving, &c, &c he came athwar'
one of the most effective mediums he ever
met with. The man entered his house,
laid his hands upon divers of the tables,
chairs, and every single article became
so impressed in a few minutes, that they
left the house-in charge of a constable.
He adds that the medium left some sort OF
painted or written communication but
he was too much overcome to read it
his spirits were low, and he was out OF
money hence, he doubted whether other
spirits would care about corresponding
with him.

whig Party not Dead Courtso De
cides.

The Dayton Gasette q few days age
contained a report of an odd lawsuit
that was tried In that place lately
One ellis sued the members Of the
Wing Central Committee Of Montgom-
cry county, on account of debts incir-
red during the campaign Of 1852
The plaintiff swore TO his account aad
established liability Of defendants by
introducing n circular Of the Wing
Committee with their names TO it,
All the defendants allowed judgement
to go by default, except Smith David
son, for the "fun of the thing" de.
INJURED TO the complaint that the Wing
party soas dead, and that the Commit
tee was not the administrator OF its ef-
fects. The demurrer further alleged
that: "The said Wing party YVES and
had become before the filing of said
petition to all intents and purposes de.
ceased and entirely defunct-.hat a
short time previous TO the fall election
in the year Of Our lord 1854 IL event
under" and since then has no tangible
existence-that there has been no ad-
ministrator appointed to settle the az.
fairs Of said deceased party; but in the
event Of the appointment Of said ad-
ministrator the defendant will feel il as
his duty to advise the payment OF said
bill, il duly presented, provided, al
ways, ,thatthe properly & etIectsof said
deceased party, consisting chiefly Of
old lumber for platforms) can be dis.
posed of at a fair price. The defen.
dant further states that hc is informed
upon reliable az .hoIity that the said
party. died insolveDt.
The case was argued upon the de-
murrcr by Mr.. Davidson for himself,
and Mr.. Tilton for the plaintiff, who
asserted tkati il the Wing party had
gone under, il hadn't beat the Demo
cratic party at the operation, but he
believed il would arise like the "feen-
icks" from its ashes, and il il did. the
"Old Line" party would arise from its
ashes TO meet it. The Court, after n
full hearing. decided that the great
Wing party scas not dead, but living,
and its Central Committees were la
bic for debts contracted in its behalf.
So now the great question is settled
judicially. The Wing party is not dead
in spite Of Greeley, and the Anti-Ne-
braska movo'hent. What satisfaction
that decision will give Brooks and the
Silver Greys. We wantit taken 10 the
highest Court, though, so that there
may be no flaw in the authority Of the
decision. Jour.

The Issue Before us.


Tho political movements of the North
and South, are fast tending, towards
one settled point of contest, viz: "Out-
side Of the free States there shall be
no freedom, or outside OF slave States
no slavery" The South are unani-
nous in their support of the former,
and they would willingly lock up free
dom forever within the bounds Of the
free States, and extend their peculiar
institution. over all the territories Of
the United States, and all that may
hereafter be annexed. If this is car
ried out. Il will give the South the
coptrol of the United States Senate,
which they are anxious 10 attain, in or
der to secure their peculiar rights.
against any balancing power. in
the representative branch OF Congress.
Thus fortified. they can boldly defy
the North, in any advance made to
malitate against Slavery; prosperity,
numbers and enterprise can effect
nothing. tits not only this they look
to. but the older States of the South,
finding negro raising. to be better
than anything else. wish to open vast
domain for the propagndsm Of slavery,
that they may always meet with a
ready market for their slaves. The
North. on the other hand, is trying TO
restrict the evil. by confning Slavery
within its present limits. and extend
ing freedom over oil the territories now
in possession Of the United States or
hereafter to be acquired. The ques-
ton is not abolition Of slavery where ii
already exists, but its indefinite extern
sion. No rational politician would
seek to disturb chartered rights of sla-
very in the Southern States. The
doctrine Of Popular sovereignty claims
to remove all jurisdiction from the
hands of the federal government; but
at the same time il is a tacit admission
of the justice and legality of slavery.
IL this principle is to continue-if new
States are to be admitted as pro-slav-
cry or anti-slavery by the voice of the
adventurous pioneers--we would say
to the people of the North be ready 10
meet the crisis; vast regions of the fair
West must soon bn subject to your ac.
tion-upon your boldness and ability
to meet the struggle, freedom alone de-
pends. If you falter, il you shrink from
the momentous responsibility, you are
chargeable with an humble surrender
of your rights; the dark power of slav-
cry will furround you and assert its
sway, andunborn ages will reflect ig-
nominy upon your heads. because you
have entalled upon posterity, an evil
which it was in your power TO avert
The crisis is now at hand and a
short time must determine the issue.
Slavery or Freedom must triumph
Spirits of Freemen, attend to your du-
ty! You have been routed and driven
from the field. in the late contest, but
let not this shameless victory deter or
alarm you. Your cause is just and will
prevail.
