The Sheriff consulted the Commissioners. and

entire delegation from Oberlin, and one Of them,
a huge darkev Of ebony tintS, was overheard to
remark to brother Peck, with a grin ofsatisisc-

65rThe following article from the Cleveland
National Democrat Of the 18Th inst, we fully
endorSe:-- "
u. s.. MARSHAL JoHNsoN.-We were greatly
surprised to see. on Saturday, in he Leqder a
most unscrupulous attack on Marshal johnson.
The Leader's statement that che appointed de
puties to harrass and seize f~ugitives, and to in
vite professional siave-hunters to d~eSecrate the
free soil ofOhio. At his instance vitality was
given to a law that had been obsolete in this
section ofthe State Tor several years, and heart
less men-Stealers were set to work, !" is an I'M
m~itigated falsehood and a base and coaOd,dly
! SANDER on him. His whole course has been
kind and conciliatory in the highest degree.
He has put himself to many and great incOnve-
~niencies to make things as pleasant for the in
dicted as possible. The attack on him is as
ungerous as it is untrue. The Oherlin people
themselves give the tie to the whole Of these
malignant and low destinations
The embittered venom and spite OF the LedR.
En- will be better understood when VIC state what
we believe to be true that at least nine teptbs OF
this community give Mr.. johnson great credit
for the kindness and gcntlemanly conduct which
has characterized al his official conduct during
the progress of these trials. We suspect that
the official and Uniform courtesy Of the Mart
shall towards the OLerlin people has chaied The
Lenaer man into such a p~arogiSm Of rage and
malignant spite.
The other enc tenth (inclnding the Leade,
mani are vexed because tie Marshal did not
treat them as mail robbers and other ~violatofs
of the laws. If the Lealer and its friends were
as sure of having as clean a record in this "Res.
cue Case,'' as Marshal Johnson and the other
officers Of the United States Conrt viii have,
when the dust shall have been blowed off, and
an impartial statement ofthe whole transaction
have been written, he would not now be goaded
to madness at Il eir courteous and gentlemanly
private as vel! as official couduct in these ca
SEES.
These false statements and slanderous insin.
u%ations will recoil on their authors with crush.
ing effect, and bury them in social as well a.
political oblivion, while the men who have car.
ried ont the laws of their country will be justll
entitled to the high regards Of all those VIII
love good order, and Gesire the perpetuity 0
the Union.
The other charge as to the Juries helm.
packed is a malicious and aCiUfm alSchood.
