4 Judge Bfihkerhof, being the Republicans
Candidate for Supreme Judge of, Ohio, it be-
comes very important that his principles be
understood and disseminated, so that the peo-
pie may have a fair chance of judging. Up
to 1913 he was a very bitter opponent of the
Wing party. In that year he left the Demo.
cratic party, and associated himself with the
Abolition crew and, accompanying Giddings
Is Co., stumped the State for Van Buren,. In
that memorable campaign he distinguished
himself by the most bitter, violent and .vitu-
p~eratiye language against the Old Hero of
Buena Vista and the Wing party generally
He continued in association with Giddings q
Co. until 1854, during which time he was at
different periods a candidate for different Off
ces on the Abolition ticket. In 1852 he again
distinguished himself by his notorious villify-
ing of, and violent speeches against, the Old
Hero Scott-charging the Wing party as
being a slavery extension party, &c. In 1854,
he, Giddings & Co., joined in forming the Re
publican party, and have ever since, and do
really now, control the destinies of the Repub-
lican party of Ohio; and have, by their cum
ming and diplomacy, succeeded in abolitioniz-
ing it; and have, in every instance, been the
direct cause of the defeat of every conservative
Old Line Wing.
One year ago, when the Oberlin rescue
cases were before the the Supreme Court of
Ohio, on a writ of Habeas Corpus, notwith,
standing the Supreme Court of United States
before whom the question had been raised,
had unanimously decided the Fugitive Slave
Law to be constitutional, and although Judg-
es Swan, Scott and Peck held and decided the
same way; still, this immaculate Brinkerhoff
decided that they were all wrong, and that
this Law was unconstitutional, null and void
And therefore, as a necessary consequence, all
slaves who can run away from the South, with
the 10000 who are already in Canada, may
come to Ohio and safely remain here, to dis
place the laboring white man. He has also
decided that all black men, who have but one
drop less negro blood than white, nay vote,
hold Office, and be upon an equality with the
white laborers of Ohio-thus inviting to Ohio
all of that colored race of less than half blood,
to take the places that white men should oc-
eupy. And because conservative Judge Swan,
who deems the duty that he owes to his coun-
try and his race, and his oath as a Judge, a
more serious matter than to bow and truckle
to the Abolition Western Reserve, and there
fore decided adverse, he was unceremoniously
kicked out of the Party, and hopelessly slaugh-
tered by the Republican Convention in Co
lumbus last year. While Brinkerhof, who
has an abiding faith in Abolition, doctrines,
which in fact overshadow all other questions
with him, was this year nominated by Chase,

true and able conservative man Ct the Old
Wing Party, was rejected-knowing, as they
did, that he would be above yielding to Ober-
lin shrieks. 30 -iSo Eaf8I4 @ tfcl ~7
James Murray, Republican candidate for
Attorney General of Ohio, entertains the same
| obnoxious and damning doctrines of the abo-
lition School.
Mr.. Smith, the Democratic candidate for
Supreme Judge, is eminently conservative
and loyal TO the cause of the white laborer;
he holds that no negro, of whatever color or
shade he may be, is the equal of the white
man; and there for that negroes should not
be allowed to hold Office, vote, or be placed on
an equality with white men; that we should
hold out no inducements for people of color to
emigrate here; that We have alredy more than
is conductive to the public welfare; that our
first and paramount duty is to the white race,
and to discharge that properly is as much as
we can do without endangering our dearest In
terests and hottest ties. i= So 7E Efzsc
Mai. D.. W. S~tambaugh, candidate for At
torney General, is well known as entertaining
similar views, being opposed to abolitionism
and mob rule ; being in every sense a conser-
vative and loyal citizen; and if elected would
see that every law would be enforced until re-
pealed, as every good citizen shonld do IL &;
These observations are made to that loyal,
conservative class of citizens of our State,
who have always scorned and despised abo-
litionism and its misrule, and who have ever
been stihgnishedsforitfeir love and devotion
to the whole country In its laws. 6sa ia /.
