Our neighbor has, finally, given his read.
ers the letter Of Julge Spaulling addressed
to Mr.. Weston, accompanying it with some
very refreshing remarks and astonishing as.

II NAV not be improper here to state, that
Rufus 2. Spaul ling was dropped by this
same Columbus Convention, as candidate
Tor Supreme Judge. because he reluiialed
law, and uas rampant lnColoco abolition
list We. in Southern Ohio. do not recognize
The right Of Mr. Sprulllng, or any other high
or law man, to dicHte terms to u. We do
not rpcrgnize men as Republicans here, who
are in favor Of ramplng all law under foot,
and who vreach ire and sword as remedies
or AN Objectionable feature Of law. We be-
lieve he ballot box to b. the only Cnnstlin-
tional rem .dy far The diseases OF The Ooly

ding speaking for us, or for the X 'rublicanS

flee. (as several abolIioRs's went 10 Dem &C.
mry in this counry,) and falling in hts sell

deavoring to ride down batter m-n lhah
hims-n. We wish he would 90 back where
he belongs We we remember hi' famous
sreech in tie Ohio Legislature when the 10
rororos Z rmandered the State. He sail
"A bird in the hand WAS worth Two in The
bush" He doubtless though; he hid a

The fod OF the faithful. He might as well

There Mr., Democrat, you have our santl.
mruts. What are you going 10 do about IL
Considering that Ju lge Sraulling was one
of the founders Of the Republican party and
was battling monluIly tOriis principles while
Mr.. McB,h was opposing it, the attempt of
the latter to read him ont o! the ranks, is to
say the least, piece Of consummaie impu-
dence. It is oil very well for the JG'aa!
to bluster about "locoioco ObolIionis's." ."
nolr, after voting for the abolition platform
and yielding to the abolition demand Tor
the sacrifice of Judge Swan!
But what will you do, neighbor, with Mr..
Gidlings? lie holds to the sentiments Of
and agrees with Spauding. He has read
Tom Corwin out Of the Republican party
for Ia king Just as youdo. lie is the Chair
man Of The RtpubIica State Executive Com
mittce. AID if he don't know what Black
R publicaui.m is, who does? Nobrdy! He
and Spuu ding helped u organize the R pub
liran party four years ago, and we are not
going to discredit their statements upon the
Iilirpant assertions Of raw recruit like the
Journal man.
