John M. Higgins VS.. Henry
M. Onderdonk.
John, true to Demoeratic IN.
terest, played a little dirt IN
Portsmouth, aud was detected,
The poor fellow has to suffer.
John, as near as we can learn,
was the Sscape goat upon
whose head the, Democrats of
Scioto laid their hands and sins.
Poor John didn't get to the
wildernessgbut he got to suffer
foeths sins of hispeople.a Il Why
should John go up alone9 How
aboutoJhis alliesG How about
the suit of clothesg How about
the Democratic Judge Of eleo1
tion, who helped John to 1.-The
box9 sa.asH Goa05I' 80 ou'1a
But John only played a Tit!
tie fraud upon one man in
Portsmouth. How about The
Senate of Ohio, which withlike
principle, like motive, and
about such law, perpetrated a
fraud upon the whole Eighth
Senatorial District Poor John,
he lacked the dignity, the pow
er; he was amenable to law.
The Senate has this advantage
over him, they are non-comata-
BILE. John ought to get elected
to the Senate when he wants
10 practice frauds; he can then
do it with impunity. The fel.
low ought to have known that
if the Republicans found it out
they would make a noise about
it, and poor cuss, he might
have known that his friends
would go back on him when
detected. They wouldn't have
done this had he been a Senator.
The boy in the old poetry said:
''well then If should kin man,
And kill an hundred more, "31i
i should be great" etc. q IoL .t
So with John, if he wanted
to do any thing in the way Of
lawlessness and fraud. he
should have went to the SEN
ate as one of the immortal
nineteen. Then he could have
violated law and de-
frauded the people and sheen
