dOrsed ID X. Carter tor Il seat in Lin.
coins cabinet. We don't believe that
McBeth wrote the article, as we have
seen others OF She same kind in otheI
States. 1t was sent here, no donbt,
inr the purpose oil putting up Garter,
ia order that he might, perchance, wire
iuto the good graces Of Lincoln for
some inferior appointment But to
the point we bad in view. The Jour.
nal says: Sion. d. X. Carter is a
conservative, Union loving, law.abid.
ing man, and never entertained an
abolition sent ment in his life. -
Therein McBeth lies most notoriously
and shows his ignorance most eiectu
ally. L. K Garter, when here last
iai stumping for Lincoln, said in sub.
stance, in presence Of divers persons,
that he would not pay any respect to
the decisions of our Courts, and sould
treat them as nuLity; that no Court
had right to declare slave property,
and that the Supreme Court OF the U.
5. was set OF rascaIs for deciding as
they did. that there could be property
in human being, &c. We pledge
our word we can prove what Mr.. Car
.er said here. Again, we believe we
can prove that McBeth said Carter
as a Cd id abolitionist, at the
me lie was here. Shame on ye.-
Why will you not quit lying SO bare

You and I md Rob,

The Journal OF the 10Th inst, says
we should "cledr our own party's
skirts OF the crime of embroiIing this
land in civil strife and fraternal hate
before you make any more such IN.
founded charges and canting u ltacks
against others " Now, reader OF
course it is expected by you, that we
will not stop to argue that the Demo.
cratic party brO'tOur country to its pres.
ent critical position. We will not abuse
your intelligence by any such thing,
but merely quote John Sherman, an.
other stiff, back. bone Republican, who
addressed the faithful in Vinton last
fall. In aspeech on the 18th inst, ,
in Congress lie said: THAT he did not
believe the South would listen to con.
ell iation, hut was bent Oh dissolution
The territorial question is the only
real question ot disturbance. can.
not vote for the Crttenden resolutions.
(StifPen up) II we cannot agree, let
lis fight" McBeth, as before quoted,
says this apostle, John, lies; it wasn't
the territorial question, it was the
Democratic party, embroiled the land.
But Gov. Dennison comes in and says
this Apostle John and ToodleS both
lie. In his message, which McBeth
and nearly every other partizan press
in Ohio, refuses to publish, for fear the
people will learn their true positions,
he says;
ut is not the election of President
under the requirements of the Cousti
tuition which has given rise to the
in the South. Ii is not his
opinion about the extension OF slavery,
for that is the same that was held by
the trainers OF the Constitution. Nor
is it about the fugitive slave law, the
judicial decision in the Dred Scott
case, or other political issues. Nor is
it personal repugnance. \ "
The outbreak which bas followed is
not the effect in an election or disap-
pointed parties. The result was an
ticipated by all, and the occasion is
only seized upon as a signal for the
explosion of a plot, long maturing in
counsels, to accomplish Mr.. CalhSun's
new scheme of government for the
slave Slates-the establishment of a
Southern Contederacy."
So it seems these three great men
John, Toodles, and our
worty negro stealing Govcrnor-all
disagree. They are men OF about
equal sense, sagaciIy, tact and talent.
When they compromise and settle the
question. we will Inform our readers.

they amount to nothing. Some OF
the Republicans are already endcavor-
ing to back ont OF the position in
which the recommendation to repeal
the "pcrsonal liberty bills" placed
them.
There is, unmistakably, desire
upon the part Of the radical republi-
cans to inaugurate civil war--to con
quer the South. Strange as it may
appear, they prefer dissolution ofthe
Union-rapiue and bloOdshed TO an
abandonment Of their party platform!
To this end they are endeavoriDg to
encourage Mr.. Buchanan to begin the

inaugurated in power, would only
have to ca'Yy on a aoar begun nder
a democratic administration! Mr..
Buchanan, however, appears to under.
stand the matter, and, | trust, will
prevent bloodshed 50 long as he is
