documents to that effect are quoted; and the
Republican Democrat gravey declares:
1--WE think the Democratic press has SO

quoted from the Journal, in the face of such
evidence, or pretended evidence, as the de-.

If these charges are false thew are s,s.
cept'6ie OF clear. positive and satisfactory
denials.
If the charges are false, all right, so far
as Judge Gohlson is concerned. IF trne
then the Convention was imposed upon, and
the people are deceived.
But the Republicans, as in the cose NJ
Judges Swan, Scott and Peck, must not be
cheated. w
1t it is improper for Judge Gholson, us q
candidate for seat upon the Supreme
bench, to "prejudice case,'' by defining
ms views upon the Fugitive Slave Law. then
1t was improper to nominate him.
And, in our opinion, 1t was improner n

developed himself in regard to the cardinal
principles of our party, as to need. after
nomination to define his position!
Let US have men true, tried, we'll known
and outspoken, then there is no chance for
mistake or deception.
We regret that Judge Gholson occupies.
as ne does in the minds of thousands of Re.
puolicans. an equivoca position. Let his
be at once relieved, If it can be.
we commend these considerations TO the
attention of the Ohio State Journal, and the
Cincinnati Republican journals"
We recommend the Democrat, and others
who are OF its mind, to organize third Oar.

few Of the Gddingsites in the Northwest
going off in gong by themselves. They
would admirably balance the conservative
American faction of this corner of the State

nd omitted him from their Congressiona!
since his aspirations to be
Governor of Ohio were so summarjIy nip.
ed in the bud, he has been exceedingly
heasy, and very noisy and hard to please.
Lis intention evidently is to abolitonize the
republican party, or 60 out of it and defeat

three newspapers of the Reserve, the
