.4,s Indignant Republican,.

Gov. STEVENS, the able and accomplished
gentleman and Statesman, who honors the in
telligent people of Washington Territory by
whom he was selected as their delegate to rep
resent them on the floor of Congress, forwarded
to the Editors of the Mansfield Herald few cop
les o~fdocuments, newspapers, &C., touching the
Military and civil services of Gen. JOSEPH
LANE. This was done as an experiment on a
Brown-Republican editor. 1t had been main
tanned by some that no one connected with
the Brown-Republican press Of this country
had any feeling or sympathy with those who
had distinguished themselves in defence of the
country, in the Cabinet and in the feld-and
to test the matter, the Governor forwarded
some documents illustrative of such services, on
the part Of Gen. LANE, to the editors of the
Mansfield HeraLd-knowing, at the same time,
that the editors of the Herald conduct the
organ of Helper Sherman. The result has
proved that the Governor "has lost" and he
gives it up that no cord of sympathy with pa
triotic deeds vibrates in the heart of a Republi-
can editor. The Herald is indignant because
It was offered such uuconeeaial food.

Boiling

We regret to see, in the Fourth and other
wards, that candidates for nomination, at the
primary meetings, and who were defeated, have
started what are called independent tickets,
with the defeated candidates upon them. Such
a course is pursued for no other purpose than
to defeat the regularly nominated candidates,
not out of any consideration of the public good,
but to crafty private revenge. Their Democ-
racy hath that extent, no more: and very little
coaxing would take them directly into the
camp of the enemy. They may not think so ;
but yet experience shows such is the fact. In
the Fourth Ward the Democracy were defeat
ed in that way at the last spring election. We
have noticed that, in the long run, Democrats
who act in that way get paid in their own coin
that the people are not apt to forget those
who for private purposes or private revenge,
defeat their wishes.-Cin n. Enquirer.
We fully endorse the above. Whenever a
goes before a primary election he is
honorably bound to acquiesce in the result, to
support the nominees. And when boiling is
done, it is not for the good of the people, but
to crafty private revenge. No step will so eff
f~ectually kill a political aspirant as bolting.-
But few instances of the kind has ever occurred
in this county: We are proud to say hat the
of Fairfield are too true to counter
ance such proceeding. No party can be sue
cessful that does. One instance of the kind
here on Monday last, and though the
gentleman was successful, he is still the loser.
He has lost more politically than he can over
come in a life time.
Political treachery will not be forgotten, and
if the democratic party would be success
full, it must, in decided terms, disccuntenance
boilers When a democrat seeks opposition
association and aid, against the nominees of
his party, he is no longer reliable.-O. Eaqle.

ra-Horace s.. Knapp, editor of the Ashland
Union, boldly declares that if Douglas is nomi-
mated at Charleston, he, Knapp, will leave the
democratic party. Mr.. Knapp is well known
among democratic politicians of this State
Kenton Republican,.
ps-The above falsehood, which originated
with J. W. GRAY, although promptly refuted
by ourselves, and by Col. FLOOD of the Ma
tional Democrat, continues to travel through
the medium of the Black Republican allies of
its base inventor. We demanded of GRAY
the name of his informant upon which tie
falsehood. was based; or. falling to give that,
insisted that he must rest under the charge of
having coined the story himself. Having re-
fused to disclose his authority, the lie is bis
tering and fostering upon his forehead, and let
it there continue to blister and tester, until, as
Mr.. Shakespeare would say, the foul lies, done
in his days of Abolitionism, are burnt and
purged away.

The Lobby at work-The Attack on
: Gov. Medill.

We notice in the proceedings of the Senate
on last Monday, that Senator Green, on that
day, introduced a resolution of censure against
Comptroller Medill, for refusing to pay an un.
just and unfounded claim against the Govern
ment.
These are strange times that we have fallen.
upon, when the Senate of the United States
can be invaded by the lobby, and a grave sen,
ator by it be induced to offer a resolution Of
censure against a government officer, for firm.
ly, conscientiously and boldly doing his duty
and stoppingthe payment from the treasury Of
a million eight hundred thousand dollars. fol
one dollar of which there was no just claim
against the Government.
We know all about this Cormick & Ramsey
claim to which Green's resolution refers
When we were in the Comptroller's office il
was referred to us for investigation, and We
think now as then, that a more impudent, un-
founded claim was never asserted against the
government.
We propose next week to publish the Comp
troller's decision which is attacked in Green's
resolution, and have only to say here, that the
decision was in conformity with and sustained
by the written opinion of the Attorney Gen
eral, was approved by Postmaster General
Brown, and Secretary Cobb, was referred to
Congress and approved there by the Judiciary
Committee of the House at the last session.
Has been sustained by the press and the
people of the United States, and highest enco-
miums passed upon Gov. Medill, for his firm,
honorable and stern discharge of duty in de-
feating the cormorant horde. who followed and
scented this claim through all of its meander-
ings, until it was finally killed, and as was sup
posed, buried out of their sight by the Comp
troller's decision.
The comptroller's decision was made in Au-
gust, 1858, the claim had been pressed since
1855, and it was hoped that the thing was not
only dead but stank.
1t has now it seems got into the hands of
the lobby, which with Jackal instinct digs up
old buried claims and gloats over them.
They commenced operations by a public at
tack upon the faithful officer who stands in
their way to thwart them. What next they
will do after getting through with this file.
biting process, we know not, but we guarantee,
that SO long as honor and integrity influence
those in power, the vermin of the lobby will
have no feast off of this stale and Ubiquitous
old claim-Ohio Eagle.

The Tarif-A Backward Movement

The TariH-A Backward Movement.
The New York EUening Post is undoubtedly
one of the ablest of the Republican papers in
the country, and its views in the main have
great influence upon that party. 1t stands at
the head of the radical element in the party,
and although it advances doctrines which some
times appear at first to shock Republicanism,
it generally has the satisfaction of seeing its
view firmly established as the doctrines of the
party. On the Sd instant the EOening Post
produced a leader in favor Of the importation
Of Iron duty free, expressing the opinion that
it was "the best thing of a financial nature
tchich Congress could 10 for the people Of this
time that the EUeniny Post was advancing this
declaring that the Republicans could not carry
Pennsylvania or New Jersey, unless. the Chica-
go Convention espoused the cause Of Protec-
ton for the sake of Protection and nominated
a candidate who was known to be in favor of
that principle. We regard the EUentng Post as
a better index to Republicanism than the
North american. Both, however, are promi-
nent and influential papers in the party, and
yet the one is for Free Trade and the other
for a Prohi6itory Tariff! This thing called
Republicanism is a strange and singular COM
pound, and on this tariff question it certainly
presents the most inconsistent character. Its
leading paper in New York is boldly out for
Free Trade, and its leading organ in Philadel,
phia at the same time calls loudly for a Protsc-
the Tariff! Will our contemporary tell US
whether Gov. CHASE stands by the Eceniny
Post, his favorite paper, or whether he goes in
with the North American p Ohio Statesman.

Rejoicing Because it is no Worse

The abolition papers have articles rejoicing
over the late election in Connecticut. They
remind us of a remark said to have been made
by George the III, at the close of the war OF
the Revolution. His Majesty ordered a day
of thanksgiving, on the signing of the Treaty
of Peace. For what are we to rejoice? said
one of the Ministers. Is it because your
Majesty has lost thirteen of the finest colonies
England possessed, or is it because the war
cost one hundred millien dollars, and ended in
the surrender of your best army at Yorktown ?
"No," said the King, eve rejoice because it is
no worse!'
Although the Republicans virtually lost the
State, their large majority reduced to a mere
fraction, they have a right to rejoice as Eng
lands King did, "because it is no worse."-

t&01bUIiS7n

The brilliant and unlooked-for Democratic
victory in Rhode Island, a State that was re-
garded as. hopelessly sectional as any other in
the Union except Vermont, destroys the last
hope of the Northern Sectional Party. The
organization for Presidential purposes, is vir-
tually abs ndoned-and Observation-Disclosures
will rapi dly dwindle into mere local struggles
IN a few intensely rotten States, congressional
Dists' cts and counties. It is a matter of no
consequence whatever as to who may be nomi-
lated at Chicago, or whether any one is nomi-
mated, the redemption of Rhode Island, a
State that gave Fremont 5000 majority, seals
the fate OF Brown and Helper Republicanism.

CHAPMAN CROWS OVER A VICTORY
FOR THE CONSTITUTIONS

By the Cleveland National Democrat of this
morning, we. learn that Judge DIXON, who, in
the Booth case, refused a writ of habeas cor
pus to take that arrant scamp from the custo-
dy of the U. S. Marshal, was repudiated by
the Abolitionists. The Democrats took him
up, and on the issue thus made, triumphantly
elected him over the Republican candidate,
SLOAN, by a triumphant majority.

1t is unnecessary to say any thing in praise of

81 90 per quart, and a single plant lifted with the
fruit on, brought 81. A writer in the Country Cen
