/ The continued assaults upon our Rep
resentative, though they evince an un-
usual degree of vindictiveness and un-
firing perseverance on the part of his
assailant, in no way prejudice Mr.. Hubbell
in the estimation of the people of our
county-indeed, they are having the op-
posite effect, and by their manifest injus-
tiee and unfairness are daily adding to
the number Of his friends. The assaults
referred to, Excluding the Boynton ef-
fusions from Washington though issuing
from Cincinnati, Columbus and Mt. Gil
cad, and thus having the appearance of
coming from different persons, all eman-
ate from the same prolific source IN Della
a0Gre, and are all actuated by the same
motive personal hostility to the gentle
man assailed The last effort in that
direction consists in scattering broadcast
over the district a pamphlet printed in
Columbus, and copy of the Mt Gilead
Sentinel Of the 26th ult. The contents
OF the pamphlet so far as personally ap-
pllcable to Mr.. H., and three and a half
column communication published as edi-
torial by the Sentinel, are but comnila-
ton, rehash and reiteratiou Of previous
perVerslOns and misrepresentation which
have already been answered and exposed,
and therefore require no further not ice
They rest upon no substantial basis, and
require only to be candidly and fairly
examined in the light of truth and justice
IN order to make their fallacy manifest.

assumed opposition to certain specified
measures, why is it that with an over
whelming Union majority the Senate can
stave of, smother and defeat these same
measures, and no denunciations be hurled
at any member of that body? Fair play

should be at least show Of consistency

the real or imaginary delinquencies of his
tetIow-members. So far as regards this
county, the constituents of Mr.. FL. will
tomorrow, in the selection of delegates
to the Congressional Convention, pass
judgement upon his official course, and
we think we can safely predict he will
have no cause to feel dissatisfied with
their verdict.
