The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1859-11-16

L should probably in my last article,
have stated that none of the charges,
which I made were intended to apply to
VIM. p. Richardson.
Indeed they were not intended to apply
to any one personally, and particularly,
but to those who were and had been
guilty.
There is one question, which I had al
most forgotten to answer, and that is in
reward to that terrible quotation, "small
business, &C."
I didn't know until lately, that it was
against the laws of literature to quote
from any other writer than Mr. Archbold
Neither did know that one was always
bound to tell from whom he quoted.
Suppose quoted it from Mother Goose.
where's the harm? But to set your mind
at rest, will tell you that 1 quoted from
member of the Board.
l hope you are satisfied with this feeble
effort, made in behalf of truth If you
are not. however, you can "pitch into it. !"
In the mean time remain,

Dishonesty or Ignorance.

"he Republicans leave no means, hon.
orable or dishonorable, untried to break
the force of the "irrepressible conflict"
at Harper's Ferry. But the most villain
ous of all their schemes is the forging of
letters to Brown, purporting to come
from distinguished Democrats
1t is true that when they are pressed
in regard 20 these letters, they exclaim
.'oh! they are merely burlesques." Aud
so they are; but this element in them is
SO ingenioasly. concealed that ignorant
persons might be deceived. The sole ob-
ject of these letters, whether they are eall-
ed burlesques or not, is deception.
The last Herald publishes one of these,
signed S. A. D. The edito- Of that pa
per leads the comments as though they
were editorial, and thus gives the letter
his endorsement 1t may be that he is
one of the ignorant duIes OF the scheme,
and does nos know but that the letter is
genuine: if not, lie is worse; and is at
tempting to deceive his readers by pub
fishing. with an apparent editorial endorse.

He may take whichever horn of the Gi-
lemma he chooses.

Abo,itlon.sl,, and lnideI;ty.

1t is an indisputable fact that Aboli-
:ionsm and inEdelity 60 hand in hand.
The party anu the sect are not strictly
identical; but the leaders of the one, are
to a great extent the leaders of the other;
and the masses of the one. are, to equally
as great an extent, the masses of the
other. .-ra s.--
The same convention which pronounced
the Constitution of the United States "a
covenant with hell, and league with the
devil" denounced and afterwards public
ly burned the Holy Bible. Wendell Phil
lips, Abbey Kelley, Ralph Waldo Emer-
son, and others of the same views, are no
more infidels, as we believe, than Rev.
Theodore Parker, Rev. Thomas Starr
King, aud we are almost inclined to add
Henry Ward Beecher. These latter i,
is true, profess kind of home. made the.
ology, which may he classed somewhere
between Universalism and infdelity. 1t
is q theology founded not upon the Bible,
but upon favorite theories of their own.
These are the names which figure in
the Abolition Conventions. From these
sources come the abolition sermons and
abolition speeches. Nine. tenths of the
incendiary and reasonable literature with
which the country is infested originates
With these same infdel Abolitionists.
But the masses of the sect and of the
party are as nearly identical as are the
leaders. The infdel German societies are
as Jealous in behalf of aboli,ionism as o
infdelity; and their attention is abou,
equally divided between the two. Boil
infest the same localities, and whererel
one is abundant, is q hot bed of the 9th
er Massachusetts is the grand cente
from which both radiate; and in th
Western Reserve, of our own State, tn
seeds of both were sown by the sam,
hand, and the same voice which denounc
ed slavery denounced the Bible.
The history Of Aboliiionism aud G
infdelity in this country abundantly show
that although they may not be identical
they 60 hand in hand together.

sllore Money than a IIos-Drover.

This expression it is said originated in
an application of it to Simon Cameron,
who is talked of as tia Republican candi-
didate for President. The story goes that
ID early life Simon drove hogs from the
.Western States to the eastern markets,
and that the manner il which 500 hogs
started from Ohio would count 1000 in
Philadelphia was surprising to him and
and more so the farmers along the road.
The uninitiated thought he had some mys-
terious source of wealth. as he had "more
money than mere hog-drover."
- he got into the United States Senate
BY the Same process: He bought few
members of the Legislature and then as
NO one coald be elected without their votes,
he stole the balance. "More money than
. shog-drovern will, however, never make
him President. e5 s a

THOMAS EWING.

Jones, the Sculptor, is now at Lam
upon bust of the Hon.
Thomas Ewing. But for some such mem
tion, many persons would hardly know
that the /" old Salt Boiler I" was yet alive,
Twenty years ago. he stood forth the
foremost man in Ohio, and, in all the west
be ranked as a statesman, the second to
CLAY alone. and as jurist the second to
no man whatever. In 1881, he was
chosen United States Senator by very
close VOTE defeating the late 'Micajah 7.
Williams. of Cincinnati In the "war Of
the giants" that ragged from 81 to '35. he
took part. and did giants deeds. His
reelection in 1861 was prevented by
the boldest legislative gerrymander ever
practiced. At the expiration of the
term of Thos. Morris, in 1885, he was
again candidate for, the Senatorship,
but was defeated by Benjamin Tsppan.
At the close of Col. Allen's first Sena-
torial term, 1929, Mr.. EwiDg'sfriends
still pressed him as candidate, but
without success. In l844-5. however,
both branches of the Ohio Legislature
were strongly Wing, and an opportunity
to give Mr. Ewing the only place be as
pired TO fill presented ITSELF But, as II
judicially blind. the Wings that time pre-
ferred Mr.. Corwin--a considerable man,
tits true, but in no sense the peer of Mr..
Ewing. Yet again was Mr.. Ewing cam
ddate for the U. S. Senate in 18l8.
when Chase was elected Upon the re-
signation of Thomas Corwin in 1850,
Gov. Ford appointed Mr.. Ewing to the
vacant seat. which he held until the Sd Of
March, 1851, when Mr.. Wade took his
place. s2s - 1ee.'-s '','1 .lsz1
Mr.. Ewing was Secretary of the Treas
ury in lS4l, under Harrison, resigning.
however in September of the same year,
after President Tyler had vetoed the
Fiscal Agent" He also held the De-
paYtment of the Interior under President
Taylor, but ceased to be Cabinet Min
lister when Mr. Fillmore became Presi.
den: in July. 1850. Since that time Mr..
Ewing has taken no active part in poll
tics; indeed, there has been a good deal
of conjecture as to where he stands. But
he is Thomas Ewing still as much Of .
man to-day, as he was when the nation
rang with the echoes of his name and
fame. Portsmouth, Times. EARNESTLY

Great Loss of Life--Vesscl Lost.
IS The following is the telegraphic account
of the loss of the British vessel, Royal
Charter:
~, The public will learn with overwhelming
grief that the splendid vessel, the Royal
Charter. was lost yesterday in Muffa Red
Bay near Bangor. The melancholy in
telligence, which reached US last night,
was brief, but we fear is only too true
Osupwards of 400 persons who were on
board, only 10 are said to have been
saved. There is some hope however.
that this statement is exaggerated. but un-
der the circumstances. the loss Of life it is
TO be feared has been immense The Roy
tsi Charter had about 100000 in gold
on board. When the disaster took place
IL not known, for the telegraph had ceas-
cd to work, and SO destructive had been
the storm along the coast yesterday, that
the Chester & B:rkenhead railway, had
been destroyed in two places. -

now in an insane asylum at Utica. He
