The Tiffin weekly tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1859-1868, 1859-09-02
Judge IRnnueY ON the stump.

OF hardly comos up 10 public expectation,
as a stump crater Ho spoke At zancs-
vile, on The 10th inst, and, according to
the report in the Courier, made Ga decided
Cailurs.p siutc affairs. he indulgcd avery
natural inclination to ignore, though even
on that subject, il was hardly wise not to
make a show Of courage and general in
formations inNsmuch as the office for which
he is running has no immediate concern
with other than home matters. Heoocu-
pied HE time almost Exclusively withrath-
cr commonplace romarks on popular sovo
roignlY and the fugitive slave law, Ho
was understood 20 take the side Of squat
ter sovereignty, and expressed himself in
favor Of sustaining the fugitive slave law
Notwithstanding his rcal, nine years ago,
for nullitying the same, Tho Courier
says;
"He told how the delegates from the
free State in the Federal Convention in-
rtcd ia the Constitution the provision,
THAT when slave escaped into free
State, (theso we're his words) he should
be delivered up upon claim, Pray, Judge
will you tell us how many fire. States
there were Ot that time; and In what edi-
ton Of the Constitution the words free
State occurl fI.
"But the Judge didn't know where he
was when he pitched into the Fugitive
Slave law with such vehemonce. Let him
look az the platform, adopted by our Com
vdnlion before, and he will See that We
are a law-abdiog people, that whilst we.
demand the ropoal or essential modifea-
ton of that law, wo will submit 10 a fair
legal aud proper execution of il, and that
we acknowledge the provision ofthe Con-
stitution In relation 70 the rendition offu-
.gitiyesi nor can the Judge fail to remem-
Der that the State Convention simply ask.
ed its repeal, and that no State or Nation
.ol Convention Of the Republican party cv-
counscled, advised or declared that tho law
ought to be disregardod or foroibly resist

Ono other point, noticed by the Cour-
Ter, deserves attention, as showing tho de-
greo Of candor and honesty which Judge
Ranney manireets while soliciting the
suGfages ofthe people. Referring to the
prosenoo Of Gov Chase at the Cleveland
meetings
"Hc said in effect, that meeting num-
herring 10000, composed of men from all
parts Of the Reserve, who had gone there
under the promise that they should tear
down the Jail In which were incarcorated
number OF men who had violated the
Fugitive Slave Law, met at Cleveland, n
short time ago and he was sorry TO say,
that the Chief Executive Of the great
State Of Ohio was present encouraging
1 them.n
This Is grave charge. A large body
Of men had assembled, the Democratic
candidate tells us, to tear doicn thc C4eve-
land jail, aud Gov. CHASE "was present
Encouraging them" Now let us SEQ hotc
Gov. CBAsE "encouruged" this unlawful
and unrightous proceeding. The following
extracts from his speech on that occasion
win show:
"a few hours ago he was sitting In his
Office In Columbus, not expecting to be
present to-dHy; ho had felt il his duty 10
come, but he had not come 70 advise them
TO do anything which they hereafter might
have occasion TO regret He had not
come to counsel any violence. The A.
merican people, having the control Of all
power by the ballot boxes, twas for them

at was not necessary that we, the soye-
reigns Of the land should resort 10 any
measures which could not be curried out
at all times, and under all circumstan-
oes.p .t ..u ...t..r i..
"Let the Courts be appealed 10, and LET
them act in accordance with their con-
science and their duty between themi
selves and their God. The great remedy
is in the people themselves at the ballot
box. Elect men with backbone, who
will stand up for their rights, no matter
what forces are arrayed against them"
We cannot put a high estimate upon The
moral integrity Of a man who would SC
wantonly pervert history, and utter so pal-
pable slander against tho man whose
place (in the language of Douglass he Il
