The Trumbull Democrat, On M. Gid
dings.
Some writer has said,-There is
skeleton in every house. The skeleton
which haunts the office, and is ever be.
fore the eyes of the editor of the Demo
er0t, is Joshua R. Giddings. Although
SOME two hundred pounds Of solid iesl
covers The bones of our venerable Rep
resentative, his ghost is stalking at al
times before Mr.. Ritezel, and neither he,
nor his brelheren who have SO kindly
endeavored to whip the freedom loving
part of the Democracy of the Reserve,
into the support Of Lecompton. can ex-
orcise the Troublesome spirit it haunts
them. by day. and by night.
We are not 50 foolish as 10 think that
Mr.. Glddings desires US to take up the
cudgel in his behalf. or that he stands
in need of our help TO defend him from
The pack that is yelping at his heels.-
But occasionally in their anxiety to slow
their spite, they make so ridiculous a
display, thai We have not the heart to
deny our readers the amusement CT The
exhibition.
In the last number Of the Democrat,
that paper quotes from an article in the
Ashta6ula Sentinel, supposed to have
been written by Mr.. Giddings. as follows:
awe hope that every slave may ob-
tain his freedom at the earliest possible
moment. and at any expense, even If it
cost the life Of every pirate who attempts
10 hold him in bondage"
The Democrat comments (classically;)
ESHe is getting anxious for a reign of
terror and deluge ofblood! Dosen't care
for expenses! Go in Joshua! Take a
few thousand of your extra mileage steal
ings and equip a regiment Of niggers,
and open the ball yourself.-Democrat
Here our neighbor is peaceabIy dispos-
ed, he has a great horror of blood. and
finds fault with Dir. Giddings for his war
Ike propensities. Heis economical too.
afraid of expenses.
The reference to extra mileage would
seem lobe in rather bad taste, when it
is remembered hat every Democratic
member from Ohio, Pocketed the extra
mileage, under precisely the same rule,
that governed Mr.. Giddings. It is very
wrong in Mr. Giddings. and all right
when The Democrats do tie same thing.
In TIE same column. is another article
devoted to Mr.. G. He is not in favor Of
plunging this nation into q war with
Crest Britain until il is ascertained hat
there is some better cause for it, than
that under such a tremendous weight
of evil-as a war between the two great
est nations on the earth, the smaller
rascalities OF Dir. Buchgnan's Admins
tration may be hidden and overlooked
That Mr. Buchanan and lis satellites
would, had they the power, create a rup
tune with England, for the very purpose
Of Withdrawing public attention from I'll
Kansas %villiany. the treachery, of the
English Bill, and the swindling ia the
management OF the treasury. We have
a doubt.
Here are extracts from the Democrats

Gle in the Ashtabula Sentinel of the Sd nit.
in which he l4bors TO defend the outrages /:
of The British cruisers Oh the American
vessels. He saws: 1--WE sincerely hope

l%ations; that she viii pursue the course

1t is a disgrace 10 Tie country that our
national legislature should be polluted :
with a man whose heart is nothing but :
lump of fostering treason. Giddings is
never satisfied unless lie is engaged in
