August, 1840.From ths Ohio Engie. CORWIN IN A TIGHT PLACE. Tiiomas Corwis, in his speech ot the cabin and ciion-skitt parade at this placn. denounced tlm Independent Treasury in unmeasured terms, lln said that the only good feature about it was that it provides punishment for defaulters and swindlers,—a feauture by the wav, which Hexhy Stakiieby, in his speech the night before, slated had been stricken out nf the hill, before it jiaesed into a law.— Wo knew Staxbkrv was in etrnr. and were at a loss to perceive how lie could be otherwise than wilfully in error,— hut there is no use in refuting the falsehood of federal attorneys, if they will only refnio one another. Slanbrry said il had been stricken out of the hill,—Corwin said it was tho only good feature is the bill. Among them be it. The provision Li there And this provision Corwin says is the only good feature in it. What will the public say,—wiml will those who, being honest themselves—thought Corwiu was denting honestly with them,—say. when we tell them that. CCr’CAomtu Corwin himself, in the year of grace 1835, noted as it member of Congress for an Independent Treasury System, that embraced ail the features which he now ORXoimcns, without the o.vtv one which he eom-Thomas Corwin did so vote,—all Ids twisting and tergiversation to the contrary. The Journals of Congress stand as lasting witnesses of thwfact. The fact wits stated and the Journal produced, by J. Brough, in a speech at Ctrcleville.on the Uth instant. On Monday the lOtlt. Corwin addressed a crowd of cdbn-skin and parched corn devotees, hi the same place, and had the hardihood lo declare that the assertion of J, Brough, made from the Journals, was fntse and unfounded. He alleged that he voted for a di-ri’inn of the question upon the motion or Mr. Robert son, quoted bslmvj the effect of which was to cut off the instructions,— nnd that sudi division of the question was called for upon the motion of Mr. Ft I more, of New York. Ties Is Cor-w.n’s si itmnen ■ IV Journals eh»w, not that no d V linn of the question wasr l»y Mr. I'M more, or any body u that Curts'.n noted for ll’ihm-! «nn’* motion,—utHi rttm ions ami all.

Who, then, is guilty of the falsehood? I, who am justified hy the Journal, or Mr. Corwin, who states tlm which the record condemns as a palpable misrepresentation f 1 leave the decision to the public, with this remark, that Mr. Corwiu must be close to the wall, wheu he seeks to save himself by a falsification of the Journals,—and presumes tatlter loo far it poo the public, when he supposes lie cun put bis word against the record with impunity.This case, sir, is another of the evidences of the manner in which the Democratic speakers aro met. When lhay produce llto records, they are assailed by this wholesale species of denial,—and tho people are asked to lake the statements of the feds, like their candidate; on trust. The statement which I made in Circleville, was carefully nnd untler-standingly made from the record;—and I offer that record against Mr. CorwiuN assertions n the conttary. Am I not fully sustained?—and has Mr. Corwin, in his assertion that “ Mr. Fillmore called a divisiort of• the question,” spoken the truth? If so, he must assert that the Journal lins not spoken the truth;—and is hn sufficiently desperate to fall back upon that assertion?Verv respect fill I v,JOHN BROUGH.ton, I this n fromin di I G.
