timents Of tic Republican party. /, as

Rufus p. Spolding,
Who. in reply to letter which had
been published by Mr. Weston, editor of
tho RepuJlic, at Washington city, said:
"The writer is deceived if he supposes
that Judge Swan was left off the Repub-
lican) ticket on account of his residing in
Columbus. He was dropped for the rea-
son that he, sa judicial officer, recog-
nized the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, to
be of binding force in Ohio; and the 9th
er two Judges, who were with him in
opinion, aciN be dropped in the same way
as soon as they are reached in the order of
time. We do not recognize men to be
Republicans, here in Northern Ohio, who
will for a moment, sustain that miserable
enactment.

tive being presented of the continuance of
slavery or dissolution of the Union, we

be abolished and we must do it,"
Tile New York Tribune,
