The Abolition exclusives of Springaeld, find.
ing that Cox was determined 20 20 through
aud being scared out of their wits In conse.
queuce, have begun system of fslsehoods BY
print. When an electioneering pamphlet ID
gotten up and circulated Just before election is s
always regarded ss confession of weakness
and an evidence Of fraud. The printed libel
in question is peculiarly base. IL has, however,
one redeeming feature-it proves that Cox is
not an Aboli!ionist, and that Shsllabarger IL.
Il calls itself "The Independent Contest" and
proposes to run parallel between the course
Of Shellabarger and that Of Mr.. Coz. Il tries
TO prove that Cox's votes were disloyal. II
they were, 60 were Crittenden's, 90 were Hsr-
rison's. If Cox 10 disloysl, thea C.lt,enden
the bosom friend Of M. Clay for forty years
the noblest patriot Of the lsnd-is elso a traitor
and liar, fcs he who knows, indorses Mr.. Co.'s
patriotism and loyalty.
This pamphlet says "Cox was against Shells.
barger for oon6scation Of rebel property and
emancipation of rebel slaves" This is true 60
far 40 It goes, but ii don't go far enough. In
voting for Eliot's resolution and the militia
bill, Shellabarger was for emancipation Of the
slaves of loyal men also Besides, he pledged
himself to buy slaves Of ali States who would
sell. Il takes two to make bargain, and IL ths
South we're willing to sell, Ii don't follow thai
We are willing to be taxed enormously to buy
othec peoples negroes.
IL shows that Coz voted against the black
Republic of Hsyti, Stsllabs1ger for IL. Ifthst
be not genuine negso equality and abolitionism,
then pray tell us what Abolitionism means -
IL was proposed to make Hsyd the tQaal oi
our white Republic, and It was 60 ayoWed. -

The pamphlet contains some stuff about the
tsx bill. " shows that Shellaharger voted 70,
that bill In its crude aud ndigested state
bsfore IL vent to the Senate, and that Cox voted
against it then. So be did; but in the Iss
page Of the pamphlet is upsess the implied
falsehood that Cox was opposed to any and al
tax bills, by giving the Instructions of the
Ohio Legislature and Mr. Coxa speech on IT,
0ne thing Cox did not agree to: be would mol
allow corngrowers to be taxed and Western
manufacturers stopped with 100 per cent. tax
while New England got of wish only ;nree per
cent!
It then says Cox lodged some votes on canal
bills, requiring at this time great liability o.
she Government. This 10 NOT worthy an an
swer. Mr.. Coz voted more times during tha
Congress than any other member in Ii. II,
was only absent ten days out of seven months
and never absent from the House while il
Washington, except when imperatively required
by soldiers and others to 60 to the Departments
Il says that Coz was against Abolition In th.
District. II 10 very true that he did not agree
TO tax bis constituents for those negroes, ant
he never will agree to that sort of business.
Is charges that Coz voted down Loveioy'
amendment 70 have the Declaration of Inde
pendence read on the 22d of February. Thi
amendment Of Lovejoy's was aimed as en- In
suit TO Crittenden's attempt to get up celebra
tion on that day, and the House finally vote,
the insult down. Il was offered In "pure ouss
ednees" BY SsliSbsrger's leader In the House
Lovejoy. t..
Il charges that Coz voted against other Abo
lition measures, TO alter the fugitive slave Law
etc. So he did. He ,ess opposed to all negroiss
in Congress, because he wanted the rebellio
attended to, and that onlyl Hence he vote
against intermeddling with the orders Of Hal
