ADJUSTMENTS.
We believe in amusem ens-that is In what vii
cause good laugh without doing injury to an,
one. Hence to a certain extent, the ludcrous, th
absurd, the antics of the monkey, the buffoner,
of the clown--all in their way may occasion q spe
cies of momentary nerrimont in an idle hour
which is good for the health. But il any of oul
readers troubled with the dyspepsia, causing at
unusual fit of the blues, requiring heartier laugl
thau ordinary to throw the blood into active crcu
laton, we would advise them to get copy of the
Ohio Statesman, or some other Democratic paper
and read at leisure "srells" the mock heroic5 dis
played over what they are pleased to call the
slaughter" of Judge Swan by the Republican
State Convention.
We admit it is not sign Of humanity to bt
amused at the tortures Of animals, much less o.
things 10 human shape. But we can assure oul
readers that these fellows are NOT in the misery
they pretend-that their grimaces are pure shams
their contortons the not-very- -well-counterfeited
spasms of real fts-their supposed swoonings, the
overdone Mysteries Of forlorn and antqua.ed maid
enhood innocently striving to win sympathy by
little make believe" and therefore we think i
no harm to enjoy their cOntortions.
When the Republicans nominated Judge Swan
these same consistent politicians howled upon hi
track like very hyenas. The very welkin wa
made to resound with shouts of Aboitionism a
if his election would have blotted out the sun, ant
caused universal rot of all "small potatoes. =
The people, however, elected him Judge, in spit
Of the most desperate efforts OF the Democracy t
defeat him, and most excellent Judge he made. too
But his time having expired, Southern Ohio claim
ed the Judgeshp, and at tie unanimous request O.
the Hamilton county delegation. Judge Gholson
Of Cincinnati, one of the puTsst, and probably tn,
very abest jurist Of the State, was nominated al
mos, by acclamation, 20 fill his place, and presto
Judge Swan is martyred Saint, and Judge Ghol
son is the Abolitonist!
Poor fellows! never was mad log more terribl,
affected at the sight or sound Of water than thes
precious Lecomptonites are at the idea Of such a
Abplitionist! as Judge Gholson being elected il
stead Of the now immortal Judge Swan.
The simple facts are, that Judge Scan is an adj,
honest. upright man, such as tie Republicans har
ecer selected to fN tie important position in ,chic
PtuCcu
erabe partizan plunder laws of of the Democrat,
Legislature unconstitutional and void, for whicI
tho Republicans hsnored him, while the Domocra
cy cursed him like very drabs. No hghwaymar
ever was abused as the leaders of the Democracy
abused Judge Swan in the Legislature last winter
The vocabulary of slang was exhausted in finding
terms of sufficient bitterness with which to demean
him. All this is known and perfectly understood
If he had been re-nominated the old ISLANDERS
would have been re-hashed and served up dd nau-
scum. Hamilton county claimed and justly too,
tLat as she had one-ffth of the population and
business of the State she had a right to mem
Der Of the Supreme Court. and when she present
ed to the conYention her favorite, Judge Gholson
who has no superior in the State, and added ths
further consideration that most Of the officers err
citizens of the same town with Judge Swan, th,
case was so plain that he was nominated By
acclamaton.
Now, when it is known that Judge Spaulding o
Cleveland was the candidate of the Anf-S Slauer
sentiment of the Western Reserve, and Judg
Gholson of the conseruatioe sentiment of Cinciu
matt and Southern Ohio, the honesty of these pa
pers can be appreciated when they attempt to or
him down with the stale cry of Abolitonst! Fo
ourselves, we could wish he had deeper baptism
into the spirit of what these papers are pleased t.
call Abolitionism. But, knowing him to be emf
nently Qualified to grace the position to which b.
has been nominated we think the people will d
as they did in the case of Judge Swan-laugh q
the frantic impotence of sham Democracy. ant
elect him over the long haired Whitman by ma
iority of 90. 900. And 80 mote it be.
