spoon Fashion

1t does us good to see the poisoned chalice
of Northern Democratic presses-that for
years have been engaged in misrepresenting
to Southern people the Republican papers
and principles of the North-commended
to theirown lips. We wonder how the States
man and Plain Dealer like the picture
that the Savannah (Ga.) NeOs draws of
them, as follows:
The two leading Douglas organs in Ohio
are the Columbus Statesman and the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. The former is edited
by an open and avowed AboIitionist of the
Gddings school, and the latter by an out.
and-out John Brown rrepressible conflict
screecher by the name of j. A. Gray, who
within the last six months, at John Brown
sympathy meeting in Ashtabula county,
boasted that he had once stolen negro
from his master and hid him in church
steeple of which he (Gray) was Deacon.
Political ambition, as well as misfortune
makes strange bed d,felows. It's truly funny
to see Ex-Governor johnson and the aboli
tion Douglastes of Ohio playing spoon
fashion" under the same blanket.
