I AND CORWIN,

There appears to be at this time O lack of per
feet harmony in the Republican party of Ohio,
which is not perhaps to be wondered at, inasmuch
as it is mainly comprised of the odds and ends Of
defunct political organizations, whose members
we're induced to enroll themselves under the Re-
publican banner for various and different reasons.
Giddings and the Reserve constitute one wing;
Corwin and tho rest of the State another.
1t will be seen by the correspondence copied on
our first page, that Mr.. Corwin, in his speech ct
Ironton, gave utrerance to sentiments which great
ly lack the essential element of democracy. W.
a.e sorry that tina. speech has not been published
in full by all the Republican papers in the State,
or if they had not room for it entire, we regret
they should carefully neglect to copy the part re-
ferred to in the published correspondence. That
the Republicans on the Reserve do not endorse
Corwin's sentiments, we can readily believe, for
many of them arc Individually far in advance Of
the Republican Platform. But until the Republi.
can party Of Ohio disavow the sentiments advocat-
ed by Corwin when on tho stump by the authority
and in accordance with the arrangements Of The
Republican Central COMMITTEE, it is right and prop
er that the party should be held responsible for
them. Mr.. Giddings in his letter vainly attempts
to throw from the Committee and the party this
responsibility. He says, The Committee under
stood he (Mr. Corwin) was to speak Republican
doctrines" Does not Mr.. Corwin oppose the *
tension of slavery Does he not denounce the
reOpening of the Foreign Slave Trade? Does hs
not hold all the views set forth in the Columbus
PLATFORM He can do all this, and yet not believe in
inherent rights; can do it as readily as to be a slave
holder and yet a Republican. as is Frank Blairl
Mr.. Giddings, speaking of the duty of the Com
mittee, says, "If any member concurs 10 those
views (Mr. Corwin's, on inherent rights) it is due
to his fellow MEMBER and the public that he
should say so.' Not at all, Mr.. Giddings. II 10
TO be presumed-Lonestly and fairly presumed
that although the members of the Commute may
not all individually agree with Mr.. Corwin in all
he says. in the absence of all disclaimers, Meytars
satisfied with Mr.. Corwin's general course as ore
of the representatives and stump speakers Of the
Committee. And up to the present time We have
corroborative testimony that such presumption 10
correct ; for while the protests against Corwin
are but few and far between. the papers Of the
party chronicle his enthusiastio meetings. and
urge o full attendance upon his ministrasions. In
the last number Of the Buckeye State, the Rspub-
lican paper published at the county seat Of Colum-
biana, we are advised to "Read Tom Corwin's
speech on the first page of to.day's paper" but
we do not find in the extracts there given. Cor
wins denial of mans inherent rights ; yet IL was
in that speech he denied them. In another col
umn of the same paper is a notice, given BY re-
