previously manifested, these officers wpald have
been hanged before their own doors. You wo'd
say "that such an act would have been civil
war;" 1t would have been resistance to a war
commenced by those who passed the fugitive
act (for it Is no law,) a war upon human ma
tue,' war carried on by those who uphold
that act and by those who attempt TO execute
it. 1t is war upon the weak, the friendleSs;
upon people who are entitled to every sym
pathy of our hearts; people who cannot pro-
tect their own rights. And | would suggest
that it becomes public men to step lightly when
they tread upon the liberties of a down-trOd-
den people. Nor will great names sanctify
great crimes. You speak Of Judge McLean's
opinion of this law, but The pe0ple judge their
judges, and bring them to a rigid responsibility
Had these officers been hanged in the manner
intimated, Judge Mclean would not have tried
them. United States laws would have had no
application TO the case. They would have been
tried under State law, and by State Judges by
a Judge Of the county who would have deter
mined both laso and fact. The arm of despot-
ism is ever paralyzed, when raised to strike an
intelligent people. They may bring the necks of
despots to the halter, but despots never can bring
their heads to the block. They govern themselves
according to the constitutional laws, but they
cannot be governed by fear of the bayonet or

l do not object to your giving utteranco to
your sentiments. only object to your repre-
senting them as the sentiments of the Repub-
lcan party. am one of that party; detest
the fugitive law; l would slay any slave catcher
who would pollute my residence to re-capture
a fugitive. But should feel somewhat disgra-
ced by having my head brought to the block for
doing that service to mankind.
AT the late Republican Convention OF our
State, you were one of the Committee who re-.
ported that this law was deSt,uctive of the rights
/ Of the States, the liberties of the people, AND AB-
HORRENT TO THE FEELINGS OF THE CIVILIZED
WORLD, These are your own declarations as
they stand recorded: Yet you would have our
people surrender their rights as State, permit
their own liberty to be subverted, in order to
show their respect to this fugitive act. This is
not Republican sentiment repeat do not
blame you for your honest opinions, but you
have no right to say that such opinions arc en-
tertained by Republicans AS one of the Re-
publican party, one who aided in its formation
and has ever supported it, and with due respect
declare them anti-Republican, ti-chrstan,
opposed to the honor Of our State, the liberties
of our people, and the rights of mankind.

Hon. r. P. RANNEY--Dear Sir:--You es-
teemed note of the 18th inst, reached me last
Saturday afternoon as was about leaving home,
and my absence since will account to you for
the delay of my reply.
My speaking appointments running through
nearly all the month of August, and published
prior to the receipt your letter, list of which
you will find enclosed, with other engagements
for indefinite times previous to the election, will
prevent me making so extensive a joint canvass
with you as you propose, will, however, be
happy to decline all other engagements than
those of meeting you for the purposes you refer
to between the 9th and Goth Of September, in :
elusive, during which time we can have seven
or eight joint meetings in different parts of the
State.
l trust this modification of your proposal will
be acceptable to you, in which case our two
State Committees can arrange the details and
designate the times and places for the meetings.
will thank you for an early reply
Truly, yours,

The Democracy Moving.

All over the State the Democracy are prepar-
ing for the coming conflict. Nominations are
being made, our forces are marshaling, and in
every Democratic breast the determination is
becoming settled that Ohio must be redeemed.
Since we were old enough to take sides in poll
tics we have taken an active part in every con-
test, and we must say that we have never known
the good old party so thoroughly and iraternally
united as at the present time. From hill top
and vally the notes ofpreparation join in unison
Let us, Of "little Holmes" be up and doing.
Let our motto be, "Ohio must be redeemed, y
and after the smoke of the conflict has cleared
away we will behold inscribed upon our banner
another which will gladden. every Democratic
heart Ohio is redeemed.-Ho1mes Co. Farmer,

D1sGusT1NG CAsE.--David Watson, a negro
barber, married white German girl short
time since. She says he abused her shameful
ly and the other day he attempted to violate
the person of her mother. Testimony was not
strong enough to convict him on this charge,
and he was tried for assault and battery and
convicted. Fined $50 and costs and sent to
the dungeon for ton days. His wife is a fair
woman, and about 20 years old. Mr.. Watson
is "friend Of freedom" but we are not advised
whether he occupies the same apartments the
Oberlin Rescuers did.--PlaindeaIer.

Hon. HTm Dennison, Jr.:
DEAR SIR: Your note Of the goth instant,
was placed IN my hands to-day, upon my re-
turn from the west, where | have been since il
was written. regret very much your inabili'
ty to open the campaign in the mannerproposed
as deem it important that our respective po-
sitions should be early defined, and the time in
dicated in your note is far too short, to enable
us to reach any considerable portion OF the peo.
pie of the State. But Notwithstanding these
objections to the modification of my proposition
have concluded to accept yours, and hope the
necessary arrangements will be made at an ear
ly day. Very truly yours,

Hon. WIN. DENNIsoN--
Dear Sir: AS the two great parties in the
State, by which we have been respectively nom
mated for the office Of Governor, will undoubt-
cdly, in accordance with long established usage,
expect us to address the people at various points
during the pending canvass, propose, SIS the
fairest and most satisfactory method for pre-
senting our views, joint meetings at one place
IN each Congressional district, for the discus
sion of the important questions, State and Ma
tional which divide us. feel very confident
that such discussions, conducted in spirit Of
lberality and candOr, will do much to develop
the true merits of these questions; and am en-
tirely sure that neither of US could desire to in
troduce into the discissions anything inconsist-
ent with our standing as gentlemen, or unwor-
thy of the candid consideration ofthe enlight-
ened and patriotic citizens of the State, who
might honor us with a hearing.
Should you concur with me, as to the pro-
priety of this arrangement the Chairman ofthe
State Central Committee can very readily agree
upon the necessary details to carry it into effect
Very respectfully your obedient servant

Clever means "arniable and courteous A
'clever" captain, is one who is friendly, atten.

recommendations sometimes advertised in the
Mississippi and Ohio steamboats, is,,that the cap

and for this reason agreeable to the ladies.
Anliab'e means "sttipid." member of the

the phrase implied a reproach, or sheer, and
declared that the word "amable" was synony.

j. G. BREsLIN, ESQ, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir; Your favor Of the 26th inst is at
hand and ! note it's contents with great inter-
est. Your account shall be subject to inspec-
tion of no one but yourself, nor will any infor-
nation be given on the subject of the States
business to an unauthorized agent On this
point, however, I am much in the dark, not hay.
ing received any official notice of the new Or
ganizaton of the Ohio Fund Commissioners, OF
possessing any intelligence as to the manner in
which, under the new Constitution, these func-
tions are to be performed. Will you please fur
nish me with such documents and information
as will enable me to meet any person who APP
pears as "Agent," and that l may know wheth-
er or not his credentials are unquestionable.
In the meantime, should the gentleman named
make his appearance, he will be treated with
great courtesy, but will not be allowed in any
way to exceed his legal powers, so far as we can
ascertain them.
| beg leave to express my qualification that
all doubt on the subject Of the July interest is
removed. Several paragraphs which have ap-
peared in your papers as to the constitutional
question of paying without specific opPrGpriotion
have alarmed the timid among u.s. and | have
already had much to do in removing these fears.
l will say to you without reserve, that our
Company would only hesitate to meet itself the
July interest chad such contingency occurred)
from the fear of placing itself in condition
where its means might be jeopardized Or tenn
porarily retained by those who may possibly
consider it fair to take advantage of the fact,
when the question of the new tax law shall be
opened upon us. At the same time | take
pleasure in assuring you personally, that should
your funds be deficient can aid in you lndi-
rectly in raising the needful, provided you bring
with YOU such means as may be at your com
mand-say in stocks of the State.
beg also to state, that having had no pro,
vision for a change, we arc Issuing certificates Of
