FEW FALsEHOODs DISPOSED
In reference to the legislation where
bv Democratic Lawmakers and lobby
ists sought to thrust the orphans Of Ohio
Soldiers into an institution for the refor-
nation Of wayward and vicious children
there is no present need for further ar
gument or discussion. The scheme has
been wholly defeated. Two noble pub
lie charities which were threatened with
iuxtaposition which must have been
greatly injurious il not destructive to
each, have been separately provided for
and for a time at least, will pursue in
dependently and without interference
their bene6cent objects.
Our readers well know that this con
summation is in entire accordance with
our wishes. Earnestly seeking the gooc
of both institutions we have exposed the
motives and steadily opposed the
scheme for their combination. The
friends of that scheme enraged at and
seeking revenge for its failure have
sought consolation for discontinue in
argument by assailing US with farrago
Of Jituperation, slang and personal in
vective, Threats not new to US but now
for the first time paraded before the pub
lie accompany these calumnies and
both are the unmistakable emanations
not Of their ostensible author, but Of his
Senatorial Msecenas Of whom he is but
the mouthpiece and sycophant.
In the last two or three issues of his
paper the very young gentleman who
edits the corporation printing Of this
citv has assailed us with degree Of
reckless personality that would have
been the delight Of young Jefferson
Brick and the adornment Of his Hoz0GJ
FoaynaK. In the blindness of his rage
and malice he strikes out at random and
with that happy independence Of truth
propriety and logical connection in the
spirit Of which the Jolly Beggars sang.
IAf- is all a variorum
And We care not how it goes;
Est them prdts about decortn1
Who hGUe characters to lose.
He begins his latest TRADE by charg.
ing us with extreme Partisanship and
concludes it by arraigningus for party
unfaithfulness This we presume, is no
an "osrich argument = an ostrich woult
scarcely have made itself so absurd. 1
ought to be clear even to the infantile in
telIectthat such party subserviency as VIZ
are charged with is, totally incompatible
with party insubordination. The on'
charge or the other is unnecessarily untrue
and when statements are made so gross
" at variance with each other the reader
will naturally distrust them all.
And now who and what are our &C
eusers that they should assume to be ou
Judges We are answerahle to nc
Copperhead parvenu for our political
course nor do we propose to consult any
such self-established oracle as to oul
political duties and obligations. When
we want Democratic advice on that sub
iect we propose to consult some mem
Der of the party who has passed the
veally period and assumed th'
responsibilities of manhood. Nor dc
we propose to accept the reproach 0
political unfaithfuiness emanating from
an individual who, having been pamper
ed and petted by the Republican party
left it on being denied denomination
and espoused the most ultra Copper
head doctrines. Neither shall we be re
bulzed for party subserviency by per
son who aYOws that while a member 0
Congress, sworn to d conscientious dis.
charge Ofhis duty. he supported under tht
party lash measures condemned by hi:
conscience and who because his owr
party refused to continue him in servi.
tude so abject, offered himself as the
willing slave of the Democracy. If there
is any instance on record of more COM
plete sacrifice of all conscientious con
viction and manly independence to party
domination than that we have not heard
Of it. Verify, before our accusers make
any further charges against their neigh
bors they had better consult the wise in
junction; Judge not that ye be not
Our assailant declares with a great
flourish that we have not denied all oi
his qroundless and reckless assertions
To follow him with an explicit denial Ot
every such assertion would afford any
able-bodied man steady employment
Besides we had gathered the impress
ion that when our contemporary proposed
to assert anything worth denying he
would put II in the form of an affidavit
or if he could not swear to it himself thai
he would at least get his foreman to
swear to it. But these assertions are
not Youched for in this way and are
such as the following
