HoS. OKEY JOHNSON publishes a card
in the Parkersburg Times Withdrawing
from the contest for the Judgeship OF
the Circuit. We presume that, in this
case Colonel JACKSON will receive an
unanimous nomination, and his cleo
ton will probably follow by almost
unanimous consent.

A LATE dispatch from Cincinnati
states that the Convention has struck a
rock in the formation of platform,
and that no nomination will he made
until the platform is agreed upon. In
the absence OF particulars, we presume
the difficulty is in relation to the tariff
question and that it is irreconcllable.
The enthusiasm of the delegates is
rapidly DOSING out, and the delay in
making nomination is destructive to
the moral influence OF the concern.
Every day that is spent In discussion in
Cincinnati weakens the movement and
renders its success more improbable.

The pork crop should be transplsnted
from the hot beds as soon as the Goth,

the curculio will devour the fruit as

deep with sub-soil plow, and poles
should be set for the vines to run up

The GRANT organs are intensely
indignant at the conduct of the
Liberal Republicans. "Demagogues,
"renenegades' and "corruptionist' are
the mildest epithets employed in their
vocabulary Of denunciation; and some
OF them even go TO the fearful length OF
declaring that the worst rebel OF a
Democrat is an angel OF patriotism by
comparison with one Of the delegates to
the Convention now in session in Gin

LYING IN POLITICS.

The last Caledonaan makes very positive
charges of falsehood against this paper. We
do not intend to follow exactly the same line
of argument. The statements which we have
made are true, and the fact that Mr.. Ran
kin, after the manner of e" Honest old Hor-
ace,' stands and shouts frantically, You
lie, You lie," will in no way aid Judge Po-
land in avoiding responsibility for those
shameful acts.
The intelligent voters OF this district do
not care to read accounts of personal gricv-
osces or personal quarrels. We do not pub
lish the following testimony, coming as it
does from different and responsible sources, in
order to convict Mr.. Rankin of lying, and
willfully deceiving the public, but to show
that our statements were perfectly correct,
and that Judge Poland has by the method
in which he has conducted his canvass, for
feited the respect of honest men, and all
claim which he might otherwise have to their
support.
Judge Poland never offered any induce
ment to any man on Railroad street, either
in the way of post Office or any other way, to
support him,-RANKIN in CdicdoniaR.
AT the outset of the congressional contro-
versy, Judge Poland came to me and person
ally asked me to vote and work for his renom-
ination. lie then promised me that if
would do so, he would accomplish all my
wishes with reference to the post Office on
Railroad street. He assured me that the
matter was entirely within his control. lie
had often previously told me that he had nc
power in the premises. N. NJ. JOHNSON"

THE PANORAMA.

1t is somewhat interesting to observe the
various pictures Of New England purity of
life," presented from week to week il the
Caledonian.
At first, Steele is shown to be unfair in
serving legal notice upon the son.in-Iaw
" while | was in Utah."
Then Steele is too young, a mere STRIPPING,
in fact boy, just off tho bench of the Su-
preme Court.
Then Poland himself comes forward, COW
cred all over with testimonials, recommends
tions, and chairmanships Of committees which
have other men in their chairs.
Then appears that awful scene, Sold to
the Democrats !" Woodstock Post and all.
And last and best and nobest of all, "You
are a LIAR And you know it."
The arguments in favor of Judge Steele
are less varied and "spicy." While his
friends have frequently been compelled to
correct erroneous statements made by their
adversaries, and to point out a few of the
remarkable methods taken by Judge Poland
to secure a reelection, their claim has from
first to last been simply that Judge Poland's
career in Congress had not been sufficiently
distinguished to justify h'm in asking fourth
election, unless the general voice of the dis.
trict called for him, and that instead of call.
ing for him, the mass Of the people preferred

reliable authority-is passing through Wal

votes for Steele-makIng no discrimination

The above is decidedly rich considering

ing II is true, the old maxim still holds good,

we can bring an honest citizen of Walden
that has been offered TWENTY FIVE
DOLLARS If HE WOULD NOT VOTE
FOR STEELE. Who furnishes the money
We also have it on good authority that one
of Poland's hirelings is offering money free
ly in this town (llardwick) to secure Po-
land votes.
In regard to an "emissary" of Steele's OK
pending money in Walden, we will say that
no one has been authorized to do so, nor has
any man tried to buy votes, and tho article
above, taken from the CdiGd0nidR, is false.

The spirit of the last CaledOnidn is II sure
sign of defeat Its attacks are made by a
desperate man, who rather than loose re-
election, will surrender the last vestige OF
manhood in order to accomplish his end
Poland's organ claims that every paper in
tho district, that does not favor the re-elec-
ton OF Poland, is bought, and the articles
which they contain are furnished by "Steele,
his brother, brother-in-law and protege, v
which rs far rs this paper is concerned. Is a
LIE, and exists only in the imagination of n
diseased mind. Because Poland's organs
have been bought, is no sign that his oppo-
nents have. 1t is sure indication of their
loose character when they make such Il state
ment. LET him who is without sin cast the
first stone.n

count of the damage which this worthy
did his respected kather-in-law, they
were obliged to discard him and employ a
more honest man.-Hardi0ick Reporter.

matter themselves, instead of inquiring what
kind of a bargain Poland had made with
Steele, is no particular reason why the Cole
DOMAIN should say that every paper which
says a good word FOR Judge Steele is " sub
sidized," or why Rankin should cry would
be postmaster" to every man in st. Johns
bury who chooses not to be led by the nose.
One argument, however, against Judge
Steele is worthy Of serious consideration.
He is accused by the Caledonian of g letting
loose score or more Of unAedged and brief
less sprigs Of the law upon the community"
Now if Judge Steele has done this, and has
really let them loose" wild, upon the COM
munity, this paper must reconsider its sup
port OF him. We, however, await little
further proof upon this dreadful report. We
can hardly credit it, knowing as we do Judge
Stoele's natural kindness aud humanity.
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1872-10-18

The vigor with which the canvass for
Judge Steele has been carried on in these
columns for the last three weeks must be
credited, not so much to the Judge or his
friends, as to the way, alike witless and over
bearing, in which the Poland clique have
tried to punish the proprietors of the FARM
Err for allowing their columns to be used in
Judge Steele's behalf. Regardless of sever
al wise proverbs, they have ill.used us as
stated in the above article, as well as in 9TH
er and if possible meaner ways, which we
have RETAINED from mentioning out of re-
gard for the official and social positions of
the parties, as well as the solicitations of
mutual friends.
1t may be that some of the individuals
who have had a hand in the business are, in
less excited times, what they have been sup
posed to bc,--christians and gentlemen. /. If
so, we have in that fact guarantee that
they will soon begin to feel regret at &heir

case it may be agreeable to them to know
that while we have felt it incumbent upon
us to defend our interests aud character, we
have not done so with bitterness, nor in any
spirit of irrecor"ilabiity, but shall hope
when the canvass is over that by-gones, with
them as with us, will be by-gones, aud that
our hearty desire to be of use to all our fell
low citizens, and to labor in harmony with
every one to promote all good ends, will be
seen and acknowledged.
Those bitter-hearted individuals of the
Poland party who think they have the right
to attack any person who is in their way,
and then make it deadly grievance if that
person defends himself, we shall expect to
continue our enemies but no others.
