A Letter from Hon. A. P Edgar
ton Reviewing the Great Cues
ton to be Settled by the Eleo-
ton this Year,

The following clear, comprehensive,
and unanswerable letter is from the
Hon. A.. 2. Edgarton, Democratic can
didate for Lieutenant Governor of Indi
ana, on the great question that now ag-
itate the country. Mr.. E. will be re-
collected as one of Ohio's most gifted
IONS in times gone by, who has filed
with distinguished ability many high
positions while q citizea here. His
election, which is regarded as next to
certain, will be looked for with no less
interest than if he were a candidate in
eur own State.
GENTLEMEN Il have received your
favor of the 21st instant. y
The position of the Democratic par
ty of TT Northwest is now true and
strong enough to enable it to carry ev-
cry State whose people are not gwen
up to believe n lie e~ternaHy. The man
who believes that the radicals, 'by the

BUTLER'S BASTILE..

The National hteUigencercommeuts
thus upon the tyranny of Beast Butte
towards the impeachment witness es
who decline to answer his brutal an d
insulting questions:
The Capitol of the nation has been
converted into a prison, and under cir
cumstances of outrage to personal liber
ty which would disgrace the middle
ages, and which make the Spanish In.
quisilion respectable By contrast. We
boast of a written Constitution, With
guarantees for the protection of person
and property, and of free Institutions
which claim superiority ove- all other
forms of government. Yet in no eoun
Try pretending to respect personal
rights could the monstrous iniquity be
perpetrated which a crew of revolution
airy Radicals. led by an u~nprincipled
demagogue, without character to lose
or honor to preserve, have committed
before the people of the United States
If such a violence we're ATTEMPTED in
France, it would end in revolution. In
England no party would be willing to
stain its name with a crime 50 infa-
NOUS, and fhe worst despotsims of the
Old World would shrink back from a
wrong so shocking in this day of adgan-
ced civilization.
The individual in question il of no
concern whatever, while the principle
which he is made to represent by the
acts of a ~tyrannical majority is of the
first magnitude. There is no other
which is 5earer to the citizen. Strike
it down, and where is the protection ior
life or liberty? The supposed safe
guards would not be worth the paper on
which they are written. Ifthe witness
Weelley has committed any offence
against the laws, let him be turned over
to the proper authorities, and be pros
ecuted according to law. The failure
to do that, and the assumption ofarbi-
trary power by faction, furnish eenclu.
siye proof that tie authors Of this out
rage know that they have no such case
as has been represented.
In the whole history of this country
no such highhanded proceeding was ev
er before attempted by a political ma
jority, and upon the most unfcHnded,
partial. and fabricated representation.

RUNAWAY AND LADY HURT.-
Upon the arrival of the western mail,
Monday evening, Mt Fairview, Han
cock county, the horse attached TO the
mail wagon upon entering the town
took fright, and ran through the place
at tho top of his speed, turning cor

things generally. Miss Lizzie Miller,

passenger in the wagon. In attempt
ing to jump out she was thrown with
great force upon the ground, fracturinE
her leg and receiving internal injury
Miss Miller is a most estimable young

ing horsemau of much more expert
ence. He escaped unhurt, as did the

GETTING READY.-We heard, yester-

was before the police court on Monday
morning. was engaged In getting ready
for another hearing before that tribunal
during the afternoon of that day. He
had procured horse and buggy, and Is
represented to have had things pretty
much his own way up in North Wheel
ing. He is said to be an enterprising
young man, and If he has determined
TO seek notoriety through the channel
OF the police court he Will doubtless
accomplish his object. The officers
have but little TO do this warm weather
in the RrrestinR business, and this fact
only renders them more vigilant and
watchful. Look out, young man, or
the grey guardians OF the city's peace
will make Il raid on YOU.
