i nunciasion:t We use calm words, yet wo do not the less I . feel that the people of Ohio, and the Whigs of the whole Union, are the victims of a most 1 scoundrelly conspiracy, wherein Townsend is i the chief actor, and Morse the obedient tool.. The predecessors of these men voted for the r apportionment law. Their constituents have never disapproved of it. On the contrary, by.■ their votes Tor Seabury Ford for Governor—■ himself one of thoee who voted for and sustained the law throughout—they have tacitly ratified the act. These members were elected in opposition to the Looefoco candidates, backed by all the clamor they could raise against the apportionment; and now they sell the State, ■ so far as they have power, into the hands of deliberate law breakers—into the control of a party whose primary instinct is anarchy.Of course this is not the end. So much would not be hazarded bnt for the sake of still • more. There is, doubtless another chapter to f the bargain, whereby Salmon P. Chase, or some other Free Trade J-ocofoco (professing Free Soilism) is to be made United States Senator by the joint votes of the high contracting parties, and very likely the division of the spoils is to proceed much farther. At all events, to the extent of the ability of Townsend ami Morse the State of Ohio is given over, bouDd hand and foot, to the tender mercies of Loco-, fbooism.”This is from the New York Tribune, as quo-} ted by the Journal. The Journal goes ou as follows ;And what, it may be asked, is that consideration? We answer, so far as the items ‘nominated in the bond’ have transpired, they consist—1. In the repeal of the black laws.2. The election of Salmon P. Chase to the Senate.3. The election of Spaulding and Caldwell to the Supreme Bench.4. The securing to S. Medarv the printing of the House.6. The dispensing of some thirty little fishes in the shape of associate judgeahips, and6. The election of the thing, Hamlin, to the Board of Public Works. ’ ’So much for prophecy. Speaking historically ol this first contract and its fruits, the Journal says:The election of Mr, Chase to the Senate was his own act, 4c. He not only secured his own etoction, but he dictated, one by one, and provided, with his own management, all the means of accomplishing each preliminary step, by which the difficulties in his path were swept away; he gave, by hia influence, to the Locolo-oos the organization of the House. lit secured seats Ui Mssars. Puyh and Piercs, contrary to hia own previously expressed opinion. He held in his hand the Committee on Privileges and Elections, to let in, or cast out, as bestsuit-hia plans and aided his prospetos. Every act of bis was subsidiary to bis own ambition.”—If eye-witnesses, of high repute, with the paper before them, could afford to make auch statements, I might well afford to believe them.
