CLEVELAND, O., June 2sth, 80.

GEO. w. WESTON, Eso,-Dear Sir: l
beg leave to call your attention to an
editorial" in your paper, (weekly,) of
the 25th inst, under the title or heading
of Judge Swan of Ohio" and in doing
so, to say that the writer is deceived if he
supposes that Judge Swan was left off
the ticket on account of his residence in
Columbus. He was dropped for the rea-
that he, as a Judicial officer, recognized
the Fugitive Slave Enactment of 1850 to
be of binding force in Ohio; and the 9TH
er two Judges who we're with him in
opinion, will be dropped, in the same way
so soon as they are reached in the order
of time. We do not recognize men to
be Republicans, here, in Northern Ohio,
who will, for moment, sustain that mis-
erable enactment. As'. -.a"- .s
s They were not so recognized at Phila-
delphia, in $685.! '@.' L3'As e's' 77:
1 know there are politicians in our
ranks who aim to emasculate the Repub
lican Organization with view to their
individual aggrandizement. " .'
Let them beware; and let us beware OF
them $50 - .sts-
Take from the Republican party its
Anti. slavery element, aud you leave it a
lifeless corpse. Hs7+ -t +-a "
fit were possible to accomplish vie
tory by any such getting down stairs, u
should greatly prefer q defeat, and
thousands and tens of thousands, who
like you and me, came from the line of the
Old Democratic party, would bow theiI
heads with shame if they found they had
aided in restoring the old whig dynasty
at the expense of freedom. -fi Il,
pray you to publish this communities
tion in your next paper. % --
am very sincerely your friend.

Where ase those Republicans wh'
said so often that whenever the Repubi

Bookkeeping.

= Judge SWAN says that the science of
book keeping learns men not only to act
but to think Alright. 1t is the highest ex-
emplifcation of Heavens first law-or-
der. Itis the logic of business. Before
its illuminating rays the darkest compli-
cations of accounts, and the most awk-
ward ENHANCEMENT Of day books, ledgers
and journals become plain and simple.

of any kind, and especially mercantile
business, without thorough knowledge of

Our Ex-minister to Spain Mr.. Dodge
has published q card in which he says that.
while the prospect Of acquiring Cuba by
purchase under the present circumstances
is inauspicious, that he has never even in
timated that the proposition in any way
involved the honor Of Spain or that the
purchase might not at a future period be
effected. He believes the course recon-
mended by the President will lead to the
consummation of that object by honor
