delegation in representing to Oberlin that Judg'
Gholson had manumitted his slaves, they pro
mulgated wilIful and deliberate falsehood
which fully exhibits their character and the
stamp Of men who are the Republican politicians
in Hamilton county. They regard all as fair il
politics, and think it not amiss to state false
hood at any time, if it will answer present
purpose The Sentinel has certainly informed
the Mac-a. CkeeE Press who it was that spoke
'tfor Judge Golson,"-i was the Hamilton coun.
ty delegation "sCitlsout dissent" and we are now
curious to see what our Logan county neighboI
has to say. Does he admit that they were au'
thorizedf If not, will he expose the "imperti-
,ent npedd,erss" Let US hear the names of these
worthless, who thus falsified the truth.
"The son of Judge Gholson, now in Missis-
sipp seems to look upon the statement that his
father ig opposed to the Fugitive Act and if up
on the Bench would hold differently from Judge
Swan, as slander, and in reply thereto in
Mississippi paper says: ..
81 would willingly stake all that | hold dear,
dearer than life itself, that if elected he will
perform his duties to the letter and spirit OF
the law, even to the remanding of negro law
fully claimed by his master, without deviating
to the right or to the left, for or against the
rules, regulations, tenets doctrines or platforms
Of any faction, sect, party or organization under
the sun. His oath Of Office would obligate him
to do this, if his sense Of honor and duty to his
fellows did not likewise render it obligatory;
and, sir, there is still little honor left in the
world-yes, and in Ohio even, though politicians
are hustling it out as fast as they can"

GholSol, with the view Of also breaking the
force of the revelation of Giddings' Sentinel,

ilton county delegation, who said thus and so to
Giddings without dissent" the Cincinnati
Commecicl, the home organ of the Judge, thus
remarks:
"rhe Enquirer NAV think it has exploded q
bombshell in this letter, but it has not. There
is not particle of doubt that Judge Gholson
would, il upon the Supreme Bench of Ohio, do
precisely what his aon says he would do. There
never has been any doubt upon that subject
We would not support him if there was any
doubt about it. II he would not perform his
duties as one of the Supreme Judges of Ohio
"to the true letter and spirit Of the law, even to
the remauding of a negro lawfully claimed to
his master, without deviating to the right or to
the left for or against the rules, regulations,
doctrines or tenets or platforms of any faction,
sect party or organization under the sum-" he
would be unfit for the position for which he is
nominated"
"Is not such double dealing, such fraud, de-
ception AMI raScality enough to disgust all hon
est men and drive them in body from the Re-
publican party? And yet men thus guilty o.
fraud-thus attempting to cheat one another,
impiously profess to be actuated in their polt IL
c.l opinions and action by a superior conscience,
and claim to be moved in their conduct by obe-
dience to the law of God!- Statesman.
