In commenting on the fact stated by the
Leader that "Judge Whitman sticks, }" the Dealer
of Monday said
"Quite mistaken, gentlemen. We know Judge
Whitman well, and we know TO establish
great principle like that involved in the slaugh.
ter of Judge Swan, he will make any personal
sacrifice to put down that Higher Law Spirit OF
rebellion, which threatens to run riot through
the land. He is too high minded and chlval-
rous a gentleman to let any personal cousidera.
tions stand in the way of so desirable result,
and when the Central Committee of the state
meet, which they will do on the 22d inst Mr..
Whitman, we know, will consult with and be
governed by the counsel of that Committee
Well how about the mistake and establishing
a great principle now? We learn by the
Statesman that not only quorum Of the DEM
Ocratic State Central Committee met in Column
bus on the 22d, ''to make arrangements for the
approaching political canvass" but Messrs.
Ranney, Stafford, Whitman Dorsey, Bushnell,
Reinhard and Allen, candidates on the Demo
cratic State ticket, were also there, "with sew
eral other prominent members of the party, in
conference with the Central Committee" The
Statesman further announces that "the preim-
mary steps were taken for an active campaign
to open early in August" but says not one
word about the withdrawal of Judge Whitman
"to establish great principle like that involved
in the slaughter OF Judge Swan" Onthe 9TH
er hand it still flies the Democratic State ticket
at its masthead intact It will fly there until
the people pull it down in October despite all
hypocritcal wailings by the Dealers and Dem
Ocrats of the Western Reserve or elsewhere
If the withdrawal of Judge Whitman "to es-
tablish great principle" was mooted at all il
the Democratic Sanhedrim-not probable to say
the least-the proposition was received with q
significant application of thumbs to noses and
motion of digitals
Who has burnt fingers for their pains now

The Perry Monument.

lam Walcutt, the well known Sculptor and
Painter, of New York City, son Of the artist
Walcutt, of Columbus, has received from
Messrs. Jones & Sons the commission to exc
cute the statue Of Commodore Perry for the
monument to be erected in Cleveland The
Journal says
The selection of Mr.. Walcutt as Sculptor in
aures to the citizens of Cleveland a statue
that will not only be an ornament to their beau
tiful city and Park, but a work of art alike fit
ting to represent and commemorate the youth
ful hero of Lake Erie.
Mr.. Walcutt's studies and travels in Europe
hEve fitted him in an eminent degree for the
design and execution of works in the above
class Of art, as evinced in his designs for the
Washington Monument Of New York city,

Queer as is this question, such old Federalsts
as Messrs Buchanan and Cass say an American
citizen is not a citizen under certain oircum-
stances, and the sham Democracy cry amen. -
This new Democratic doctrine on the subject
of naturalization involves three great absur-
dities: list " That il creates citizens to whom
it denies the rights of citizens. I'd. Itpermits
the possibility of citizen being guilty of trea-
son in spite of his own wish, and of all his eff
forts Sd. 1t makes the right Of protection a
mere matter of foreign local regulation, which,
in TIVE cases precisely alike, might leave us at
peace with one nation, and involve us in a
war with another"
