A Foolish slander Nailed.

The Slave Democracy, in their impotent
fury at the lose of Judge Warden, and the
influence his course and speeches are exert
ing upon the better class of their number
charge him with having left them and join
ed the Republicans from mercenary mo-
tives, and their papers are busily circulat-
ing the transparent lie, accusing him of
leaving them because he was disappoint-
ed office seeker. The Judge lets the light
shine through that calumny in his Cincin.
natl speech as follows:
81 have been accused of being disap-
pointed ofice-seeker, and it is said that it
was this which made me desert the Dem
ocratic ranks. Why, when l left them,
the only chance for obtaining office was in
those ranks; for none but pro-slavery Dem
ocrats had any chance. am known toll
erably well to the people in this vicinity,
and have decided some few cases for them,
and l don't think that l ever passed for
fool; but who, hunting for office, but
fool would ever have deserted the Demo-
cratic ranks at such juncture.

Judge Warden will Vote the Re.
publican Ticket.

The "talk" in Columbus, at the time Of
the appearance of Judge Warden's denuca-
tion of the Dred Scott platform of the Lo-
cofoco party, was, that the Judge was to
come out an independent candidate for
Senator in the Franklin and Pickaway dis
trict.
A late note from the Judge to the Co
lumbus Journal shows that he intends full
ly to act with the Republicans. His note
reads thus.
When l contemplated an independent
candidacy for the office of Senator, the only
desire l had, in connection with such
candidacy, was to avail myself of oppor-
tunities as public as those l have hereto
fore used for the advocacy of Democratic
principles, to express my hearty dissent from
the doctrines, which have displaced those
principles, in the present creed of the Dem
ocratic party. l then hoped, that some
redeeming grace might nominate some
other man than Payne as the democratic"
candidate for Governor, and that some
miracle of awakened sensibility to the
rights of man and the interests of Human
Liberty, might prevent the triumph of the
Dred Scott platform when it should show
its ugly countenence in the Convention
Had that hope been realized, l could not,
indeed, have considered it lawful to act
with the Democratic party; for it is not
enough merely to abstain from the approx
al of false and dangerous doctrines, sub
versive of Constitution, and insulting to the
sentiment of liberty-loving people; they
should be denounced in unmistakeableterm
should not have felt at liberty to act, even
in the coming election, so as give affirma-
tive support to some whom l might expect
to find the Republican nominees for office.
But the nomination of Henry B. Payne
for Governor, and the express triumph of
the Dred Scott faction in the Convention.
shown in the language of Resolution 5,
together with the reception of the intending
Governors unscrupulous harangue in the
Convention, has made it painfully appar-
ent that between action with theRepublicau
party, and continued countenance and sup
port of the Democratic party, there can, at
the coming election, be no middle line of
effective organization against what l re-
gard as the most dangerous of all political
errors and wrongs. expect, therefore, to
vote with the Republican party, so far at
least as the choice lies between such man
as Salmon P. Chase and such man as
Henry B. Payne. And, without any can
didacy, whatever, | shall find sufficient num-
Der Of opportunities to vindicate the choice
l made between two organizations, in both
of which 1 find matters to which l must
for ever object; but in one of which l find
doctrines SO entirely at variance with my
and SO at war with what L
to be vital to public honor and
public peace, as to demand that every true
citizen should labor for its overthrow. l
am not candidate for any office.

N The Buchanan Federalists, are now
in hot pursuit after Judge Warden, who
from conscientious regard for principle and
justice has withdrawn from his party and
joined Freedoms hosts to aid protecting
the soil of Ohio from the encroachments
of the Slavocracy. The hounds who are
upon his track attribute his course to dis
appointment is not obtaining Office. These
tuated in a political cause by any other
motive Politics and spoils with them are
synonymous. Judge Warden is amply
able to defend his position, as these fel-
lows will find out before the close of the
present canvass. So let them howl on.

MIR. SparrOw,s Report Upon the
EmbeZZlcmcnt of the Public

Mr.. SPIrrOV7s Report Upon the
EmbeZZlemcnt of the Public
Money.
To the almost entire exclusion of other
matter, we publish to-day the report of the
committee appointed to investigate the de-
falcation in the public Treasury. The re-
port was written by Thos. Sparrow, of
this city, leading member of the Buch-
anan party, and we regard it as fair and
candid statement of the facts of the case.
1t will be seen that the report is emphatic
and unequivocal as to who was the defaul-
ter. The report says: "IT IS OUR OPINION
THAT JOHN G. BREsLIN ABsTRACTED THE
MONEY FROM THE TREASURY"
The report substantiates the position Ia
ken by this paper in regard to the defalca-
tion. We have said all along that the
money was taken by Breslin, and that
Gibson's crime was in concealing the fact
after it was made known to him.
We shall not attempt, nor have we ev
er attempted to shield Mr.. Gibson from
due responsibility for his acts; nor does he
ask us or any one to doso. He is soon to
be tried for them in the courts of this coun-
ty, and by the fiat of the jury he must
stand or fall. When the Federal papers
charged thedefacation upon Mr.. Gibson, we
have replied to the charge with plump
denial. The report of the investigating
committee shows that we were right. Nor

Mr.. GIBSON, BUT THE WHOLE OF IT WAS

Wayne County aWakel Juaoe Ue,k-
>er's Reception Ratification of the
Nomination.
On Wednesday evening last, when the
nomination of Judge Welker for Lieuten.
ant Governor, was first announced by Tele.
graph, our citizens were completely taken
by surprise. But the surprise was of the
most pleasurable character possible to eve
ry Republican. Every man rejoiced that
Wayne county was 'honored with candi
date for State office, and that Judge Welk
er of all others, was the candidate. The
Republicans of Wayne county will honor
themselves in October by giving the whole
ticket majority.
Thursday afternoon, on the approach of
the express train from the West, the Wayne
Artillery and the Wooster Brass Band, fol-
lowed by large concourse of people, re-
pared to the Depot to receive the Lieutefl-
ant Governor that is to be. The Judge
was welcomed by salute of Is guns, and
the Incompatible strains of the Band. A
procession was formed numbering some
three hundred people, and Judge Welker
conducted TO the American House. where
he briefly and happily returned thanks for
the honor done him, or the honor done the
position in which he is placed. Judge
Bucklnaster then announced that ratifea-
ton meeting would that evening be held
in the Court House, and the crowd dis
persed.
In the evening the Court House was
crowded with live mass of Republicans,
who were all enthusiastic for the cause and
the candidates. R. r. Donlly was elected
Chairman, and L. s. Baumgardner Seere-
tary. Judge Welker was then introduced
and received cheer upon cheer. He was
however so much indisposed as to be oblig-
ed 10 desist from speaking after a few
remarks. VIM. NJ. Orr then addressed the
meeting in an able, eloquent and effective
manner, for about an hour. His speech
was full of meat and struck the proper
key notes for the campaign. Judge Welker
then briefly spoke in reference TO the slave
ry issue involved in the Dred Soft Decision,
thrust upon us by the late locofoco State
Convention and its consequences. E. Par
dee, Esq, was also called out and address
ed the meeting ably and eloqaently for n
short time, when the meeting adjourned to
the bonfire and rejoicing outside. Every
thing is auspicious for victory, triumphant
victory in Wayne county this fall. Let ev-
cry Republican to work and make the re-
suit certain Wooster Republican. 4-..e

Washington Gossip.
WASHINGTON, Aug.

ASIitNGTON, aug Zl-
The Interior Department received intel
igence from reliable gentleman and fugi-
tive Mormon, that Brigham Young is pre-
pairing to resist Gen. Harney; that he has
relaxed into the grossest in6delity, and that
he continues to hold up the Government
of the U. S. to the supreme contempt of
Mormons.
Among the dispatches received by the
Government, is the correspondence between
one of our Naval Officers and the Govern
or of Singapore, relative to his ordering
our flags to be hauled down by British
officer from the Dutch bark Henjetta Ma
ria, which had been abandoned by her Off
GERS and most of her crew, and had been
taken possession of by the master of an
American ship. 80.
Gov. Glundell earnestly disclaims any
want Of respect to the American flag and
the rights of American citizens in the step
he felt it to be his duty to take. But the
matter does not terminate here. The bark
was delivered to the Government of the
Netherlands in India, on the grounds that
the vessel being Dutch, the Chinese Cool
les found on board of her, if innocent of
mutiny, had claim on the owners if gull
ty, were punishable only by the Dutch
criminal courts.
The sale of the Kansas Ind ian trust lands
yielded over S5e7,OO0
The State learns, on the best authority,
that about two years sincG an American
Al. =
mosa, had a vessel seized by the Chinese
authorities, and the same act was was sub
sequently repeated, although he had per-
mission from the Chinese officials to keep
the American flag flying over the estab-
lishment. This being reported 10 Commo-
dore Armstrong, he despatched Cap.
Simms with directions that he should re-
main there and keep the American eolors
flying until further orders.
This occurrence was not thought by the
Navy Department 10 be a matter of conse
quence, nor can it be construed as an adop-
ton by this Government of a system of re-
prisals, or a departure from the neutrality
we have endeayored to MAINTAIN in the Chi
nese seas.
The Secretary of the Navy has determ-
ined to shorten the cruises of national yes
sci from 8 years to 2 years. 1t is expected
by this means more efficient seaman will
be induced to enter the naval service.
New Orleans papers of the 18th are at
hand. The accounts concerning the ap-
pearance of the cotton crop in various parts
of Louisiana, continue bad.

II. B. PAYNE.-The Cleveland Lead

II. B. PAYNE.-The Cleveland Leader
says that the reason why this gentleman
was such flaming Free Soiler in 1861,
was that he desired to be elected to the U.
S. Senate. .'He entered into negotiation
with the Free Soil members, aud had a
flaming speech chalked out; and prepared
which he was willing to make, being ready
to take the highest ground required so that
he could only get their votes" The Free
Soilers, however, voted for B. F. Wade, and
then the Cleveland hero backed down again
into the pro-Slavery wallow, where he has
been ever since.

HARD TO PLEAsE.-The Locofoco press
of Ohio are denouncing Judge WARDEN,
who recently renounced their party, for be-
ing Catholic. This charge is being ex-
tensively copied into their papers all over
the State in order to lessen the influence
his letter may have among their ranks.
Whether he is a Catholic or not, we nei-
ther know nor care, but look at their con-
sistency, in denouncing him for his religious
belief, and thsn turn round and nominate
Catholic for Secretary of State for the
purpose of catching the Catholic vote.

SOLOMON NoRrHRoP MoDBED IN CAN
ADA.-We learn by the Streetsville (Can-
ada) Revisw that Solomon Northrup, the
colored man who published an account Of
his being kidnapped in New York, and sold
into Slavery in the Red River country,
where he remained for twelve dreary years,
was recently prevented from lecturing in
that place, by a mob. He locked himself
up to protect himself, and was eventually
rescued by the Quarter-Master. 1t seems
that all the rowdies are not on this side Of
the ST, Lawrence.

mitted to be worth millions. Their excuse
is that if the reservation had been put up
at public sale the spectators would have
combined and prevented a sale at anything
over Sl,25 an acre! This silly excuse is
actually put forward officially, by the COM
missioners who sold it.
