From the Cleveland National Democrat July I.
why They Dare NotTell the Truth,
1t will Hurt the Parry.
The Washington Republic denied the charge
that Judge Swan was defeated because he de-
cided the Fugitive Slave Law constitutional, and
became exceedingly indignant that such a
charge should be made, a~verring that his de-
feat was wholly and solely caused by his resi-.
dence in Columbus. Judge Spaulding, not lik-
ing to have his thunder spoiled, wrote to the
Republic the letter which we published on yes
terday, and which We again transfer to our col
umns, for the purpose Of placing it prominent
with the fact that that paper refused to publish
it--Mr. Joseph ]. Coombs, one Of the Editors
of the Republic, writing to the Judge that its
publication would hurt the party! The fact Of
the reception of such a letter on yesterday will
not be denied, as it was spoken Of by Judge
Spaulding himself in a mixed company Of all
political parties, without any attempt at con-
cealnent.
CLEVELAND, O., June %, 1859.
GEO. W. WESTON, Esq,
DEAR SIn:-I beg leave to call your attention
W dA i Ia JOul Pdpcl, NWcthlyJJ " u tiAG
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 supposed Judge Swan
was left off the ticket on account of his resi-
dence In Columbus. HE WAS DROPPED
FOR THE REASON THAT HE, AS JU-
DICIAL OFFICER, RECOGNIZED THE FU-
GITIVE SLAVE ENACTMENT OF 1850
TO BE OF BINDING FORCE IN OHIO; and
THE OTHER TWO JUDGES WHO WERE
WITH HIM IN OPINION WILL BE DROPP-
ED IN THE SAME WAY, SO SOON AS
THEY ARE REACHED IN THE ORDER OF
TIME. We do not recognize men 70 be Repub-
hcas, here, in Northern Ohio, roho will, for a mo-
ulent, sustain that miserable enactment.
They were not SO recognized at Philadelphia
in 1856.
/ know there are politicians in our ranks
I who aim to emasculate the Republican organi-
cation with view to their individual aggran-
digement.
Let them beware; and let US beware oil
them.
Take from the republican party its Anti. Sla-
very element, and you leave it a ~lifeless corpse.
lfit We're possible to accomplish a victory by
any such getting down stars" / would greatly
prefer o defeat, and thousands and tens OF
thousands, who, like you and me, came from the
line Of the old Democratic party, would bow
their heads with shame if they found they had
aided in restoring the old Wing dynasty at the
expense Of freedom.
/ pray you to publish this communi cation in
your next paper.
am very sincerely, your friend,
r. P. SPALDING.
When the above letter is read--merely con-
recing a ~falsehood, written as it was by one oil
the most talented aud leading Republicans in
the State, and a refusal to publish it placed on
the ground that it would HURT THE PARTY,
what q miserable chapter of falsehod and du-
rlicity it opens up. The Truth will hurt the
Party! The party that cannot stand the Truth
should be hurt. Judge Swan was defeated for
deciding judicial question in accordance with
the Constitution and lnws of the country, and
this fact Judge Spaulding wishes placed upon
record, in order to correct the falsehoods ofthe
Abolition organ at Washington: but that reck-
sheet dare not publish it, because it will hurt
he party!
For the same reason the Herald and the Lead
or, twin brother in this, but at swords point in
all other things, refuse to correct the same fales
~hood-neither Of them daring to publish the
letter Of Judge Spaulding, beesuse they, too,
fear it will do injury to that miserable faction
that ruins the Western Reserve--or they, too,
know, Know-NothiDgs as they are, that the
Truth is what Republicanism most fear, for
Truth hWas The Rpabhem Partyi
