les, sJme stupid moa, and some who
might bo induced to utter a falsehood, but
the task Of pouning m article 50 stupid,
absurd and untrue, remains. alone, for lhe

zler, Broslin, for a third term, as State
Treasurer Having. to reasonable GER
tainty, fxed She authorship Of "How is
Iit," It may be we'll 30 give 1he ridiculous
eTasion passing notice. viii the au-
lhor tell us how Chase d Co. went 10
work to "break bhe Seneca County BankF"
Did Msv abstract the Bonds Of che Bank
from the Treasury, or did tho former
Treasurer do it2 Answer that question,
and you have solution Of the other
Tho absence Of the Bonds, ruined The
erodi. Of lhe Seneca County Bank; when
they returned Ihe credit Of the Bank was
restored. And whoever Of the inonds
of Mr.. Gibson, or residents Of Seneca
county have been broken or injured, must
look back Of the acts Of Chase & Co. for
the authors Of their wrongs.
The hirelings of Chase, Stone q Co.,
qi5eled Gibson. aid slandered his friends
This is n line admission for that very con-
sistent editor to make. When be speaks
Of che hirolings Of Chase, Stone q Co.,
we are led-to judge from the tone Of the
article and the context, that he means the
Republican press. Now that pross has
dealt honorably and kindly with Mr.. sib-
son. Although stung to tho quick by the
thought that he, who was considered their
truest ftierd, should saoridoe his friends
ruin the cause Of their party. and darken
for the sime boing, the prospect Of the
speedy ,iumph Of iho cause Of liberty
and Sta,s-gights, to screen from public
indignation and just punishment an indi-
yidual, whom he must have kaotOa to be
criminal under the laws of ,he State,
they have still acted towards him with
forbearance. Not one Of them charged
him with more than he has himself ad-
mittod, that ho concealed the defaloadon
Of Breslin; and none Of them have charged
him with = corrupt motive in this, but
only claimed that IL was o very great err
ror, which Mr.. Gibson certainly admits.
Now if this, in She estimation Of the AD-
vERrIsER, is libel aud sldHder, what terms
will he apply to his own and his par'y's
press, who directly charge Mr.. Gibson
not only with committing an error, but
with being guilty Of embezzling part, at
least, Of the funds with being a criminal
morally and legally. If il is libel and
slander to charge Mr., Gibson with hNv-
ing acted with too much kindness toward
Mr.. Breslin, what is IL to charge him with
being an acoomplice Of that defaulter and
common swindler2 By tho way, how did
shat learned editor find out That the bills
Of the Stale Banks are not secured
But the winding up Of that article is a
true index 10 the instincts Of the writer
and his party. He goes in for the prov
erb. "birds Of feather" &c. He is
suro that he seos now chance for an ac-
cession TO their ranks Of an orator of
whom they have always stood in fear
Mr., Gibson has been true to his prinoi-
pies through adversely and unpopularity.
Ho has stood firm amid temptations, and
never yielded to interest or solicitation
But now ho has fallen TO a Lowell where
they think Lhoy can claim him, whether
he will or no. They think, he now has
the sure mark of their party upon him,
and by that mark he can be identified with
Medill, who paid his private servant out
Of the State funds; with Morgan, whC
kept the books while Breslin stole the
money, and is now yelliag at 1ho .op o
his voice, "stop thief" with the deleota
bio body of State House Commissioners
who, by false paY-rolls, swindled at one,
the State aud the laborers; with the Com
missioners Of the two New Luuatio Asy
lums. who, in connection with the Stat
House Commissioners, saddled Ohio will
an enormous debt while they aecumula
ted wealth; with Breslin. who stole frOu
e Ohio one-half a million dollars; and iinall,
with the whole batch Of Democratic edi
