In looking over the Republican for the last few weeks, the moat superficial reader cannot-fail to notice the vein of misreprcsenta'ions, and partially that runs through that j mrnal in relsaijii to the r x-oflieers of this county, iroine weAs ago it treated its readers to a re-hash of some of the misrepresentations used in the hist campa'gn, to elec: the p.re.-ent oflieers.. against the Democratic ex-oHijeis ol Marshall, and last wee ü was out aaiu, charging thesi Democratic ofH ers with corruption and imugl in j, and Icf: ex-Uepublican oilieors that vre uiA2 hi .arrears, cat of tho matter entirely, for the purpose of making political cipi'al out. of it. Wc propose to . f , t . , i informell, a tatr and ! give s : far a 3 wo are tmthful statement in rekti-jn to the matter; about which our neighbors r.ro the most cxerciiid at present thy ca; of Mr. Packard, ex-Clerk of tiki- county, and n:e rely refer to il.e stupidity of th? present Auditor, and -d...v how ho, in romum '.iih thi rest of the Lading llepublicntis of thii oouiity. is trying to turn private matters into politic?. Wo hall not retaliate by throwing up the transactions of the ex-U -pub ican olilcers. as "frauds" and "embozzlem:n!s," bal will simply slate what the facts are in these matters. u hen Mr. Packard retired from tne

Clerk's office, he. of course had sum,ofhis dutiesor he would have seen to the funds in hi. hand,, wl u-h he retimed, pre- ,n.lUer W;1CI1 or befor0 Mf Vilned ,vcnt

f.nng to settle up his ovrn busir.es, to giving it 1:1 the hands of Ins sucees.eor 1:1 v;io:-o canabi.ity r.e lira .1 not the fullest co:ili ler.ce, and f r which he and Lu smokies wer. resnonsihl, This chafjrined the r-iv'mb ;r; of tho "clique" and they have ever sine been s e!.i:tg to find ornethi: 2 that could bj ma 'niiid, and produce on tho iiiin ls of tl;e people of this county, the desired o.Teet. and thinking they had found i they proceeded to dtes it up and s?n 1 i on: on i.s mission. Tliis was that Mr. Packard w.n trying -o retain in his hands iinl'i'.Yfu!lv,f-;es and mon1 i-$ received by him while Clerk, whieh i- j only a malicious m:.-rerrese!it.a:i n, lor xve are informed that the law allows the Clerk to retain such monies and s.ttle up his own alfairj. Vve suppose that all will agree with us that, wha: is wrong in one man as an cfUcer is al.o wrong in another. Taking this for granted we proceed to say that an wx-oflicer belonging to their party who retired from the Clerk's i7ire of this county seme fiveyerrs fcir-e still retains in his hands, or has very recently paid them over, monies he received whijj Clerk and he was Mr. Packard's predecessor, this j gentleman is our friend Richard Corbah y, whose honesty wo have no reason to doubt. If Mr. Packard is to blame, as the republicans say, how stands then their ex-ofiu er? it the length of time the funds are retailed makes the crime. "Why does our neighbor pas9 this monstrosity a;. d outrage connr.Uted on the "dear people" by Mr. Coib iley, j silently? and, if a roan's polities has anything to do wilh it; what have they 10 boiitof, what have they to blow r.bout? when it i taken into cor. si de rati hi that Mr. Corbaiey rins been out of office ten times as long as Mr. Packard, a:f', on search -inir the records was found to have, even now, more than the 1fmociat ex-Clerk. We taka a dtlfeient view of tho matter to that cf out neighbor (f lb ll'ti'V'l'o'nn. We d- not think that either of th' fe exClerkaare guilty of any unl iwful acts in the matters lefered to, and have not the least idea that either of them ever intended to wrong anj person or persons cut of whr: they Mrere entitled to. This, v:e must 6.13 , we bellet eis our icvere 1 comp 'ti iors candid opion nbout the ma'ler, and we are sory to gee him tako such a coursft :md virtually accuo tlieso' gentlemen of what they are not guil'y. ,,r 'f Packard is guilty, so is hi? brother Republican, Mr. Coibaley. So far as the course of our neighbor is concerned we are satisfied that the whole matter is gotten up fr effect and i:i his eagerness he loas over reached himself made an over-fright, and in trying to expose his political and personal enemies has placed his friend in a very unenviablo position r,r,has shown himself hypocritical and dishonest as a j mrualUt.' i i not stating tue entire fiCt3io the case under consideration. This is a pecie3 of dishonesty that has ben carried on here for a few year to a great extent, and to it tho opposition cftl.H county owes its success, but, the time ha como that peoplo are begining to investigate these matten, and demand the porof betör they believe thes? reports that

are gotten up for nothing only electioneering purposes. We invite the peoplo of this county to an investigation of the records of this county, and also want them to contrast the business transactions of the present with the e.vofucers of Marshall. With all their blowing about corruption they have never been able to shotv where the county has lost one farthing by the gentlemen whom they take a delight in accusing. The c urse pursued toward Mr. Packard shows that either personal feeling or political capital has much to do with what purports to bo expositions of fraud and dishonesty. They are not content with having abused him when before the people for re-election but follow him into private life and slander and misrepresent him and try to make the citizens of this county believe ti.eir exaggerated stories, concerning him, but never say ono word of men of their own party, who according to the Jit'puHu'an, has committed by far a greater crime than Mr. Packard. We are authorized by Mr. Packard to say that ho has never failed to pay over the monies in his hands when demanded by the proper persons and will continue to do so until all is paid out. As our neighbor has been pleased to treat this .is :i political matter, will he

please inform tin "dear people," whose ri-rhta he would male them believe ho trying to protect, how much his ex-j Clerk is or was behind, and whether he was not moro tardy about footing up than the gentleman ho hate? with such an intense hn:r-.'d. peoh are growing" ,mxions about the matter and wa hope he will I ui vethem tlm desired information and ;ve the matter in full, .s he has not yet , ii.i 1 u -1 -: 1 1 1 1 .1 1 1 told the hair. W ill lie mako the des'red . xoianatioii. irive too exact number 01 i dolhus ngainst heir old Clerk. We hope Will Thc v are also throughout tho entire coun'V, trying to make something of the affair of Mr. Vir.nedg, cx Treasurer of thi-: county, wl-u made his bail and the count v saf before tho competent (?) gentleman that pretends to attend to the duties of tho Auditor's office, kn-sw to a certainty how J much was yet behind, or was to come from I Mr. Yinnedi'e. II vras perfectly i 'norant out of the office Und, had it not been f or others we doubt not, he would have remained in this fix until this time. Bat now he looks wise and dignified and talks about "fraud" and "embezzlement" as hough ho w.h the individual who had fjr. r.-ted it out. In this connection we do Mr. Vinncdtre tho justice to say that ho says, when found at Liport, he was doing the very thing that was afterward dene, to secure Iiis bail. We have not seen Mr. Vinnedge in rehtii.:i to this matter, but hare it from good authority that such is his statement, and Wy ai? ,:lJ to hhn UiJ houelh of itr ! iJc this ai it rr.:ty, the county has not lost ,? ;'nvtl.ii! in the afliair. as the bail was irood fül. r(,a3J1J:.b:o nmoaiit if Mr. Yiimedge l.ad been defaulter, Air. Vinnedgo's reputation as a business man was good and any of these Republicans that now say they suspicioned something wai wron, would Ha trusted hip for any amount, almost before thi' unfortunate affair. We hear of it from every quarter in the county that the ex-Auditor, Thomas Mc- ; Donald, has been wronging th "peopla" of Marshall. This is only an old and an swered story hatched up for the same purpose of the others, and that ho has not wronged the county, co nmuni.y, any man or set of mou, thesj political bankrupts know, as eery person that has ever had anything to do with him, knows him to be a scrupulously honest man. At a later period we will have this matte investigated again fr the benefit ot our onnuiriu-' friends, and hope they will I.uVj the candor to prove the charge they are so good at making. In the .neau while, we suggest to them the application of the very common but illustrative saying concerning thoso who "live in glass houses." Jesu hriftt nsi AhoüüoiiMany of those ncting with the opposition deny tiiat there is an Abolition party. That this is entirely fil-.o every intelligent ptson know.-, but, some are mon candid and admit that they are in principal Aholuionists, and s me go so f ir as to use this term, AbolitiniiU to blaspheme the "meek and lowly," their Lord. Wo can prove that a young sprig of this kind asserted the oth-r day, while at tho table, and after probably asking Gods blessing, that "Jesus Oh list was an abolitionist" This does not r.eäd any comment, as all devout persons, or even the common blasphemer would shrink from making such a remark. The individual referred to is a prominent Republican in this placo and holds himself up as a model of purity and virtue. Thanks to our friend l)avid C Larue, ol Maxenkuckee, for a very good broom. We hope our devil will comply with Mr.Larue's request, "keep tho cflioo clean." Ho is icsponsiblrt individually, if tho requirements aro not lived up to, and wo will advise him to keep things straight, as the devil himself would have no business with Mr. Laurue if he should become displeased, but, owing to his uniform good nature we suppose our "imp" ha? nothing to fear. Our friend of the Jtepuhllcan will be attended to in dac time by our couespond? tt in relation to U Helper proclivities.

For the Democrat. A GLANCE AT i Helper's Impending Crisis. BT INVESTIGATOR,. It has been a but very few years, since the serious consideration of a proposition for the general abolition of slavery, would have been a work of superrogation. Nobody entertained sueh an idea, after the utility of slave kbor began to bo known through the Southern States. Helper's quotations from the speeches and writings of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and many other patriots of their time, are garbled and disconnected, and in almost every instance have referred to the slave trade, in stead of slavery in the States. In the time of Washington, the slave trade was carried on to an almost unlimited extent, especially by Xow England, Massachusetts furnishing more slaves than any other State or Colony. The question of abolishing the slave trado then, was ono which agitated the country .as generally as the question of slavery in the States dies now. And wo are not surprised that those venerable statesmen occupied a position antag-

iäjict the ttaffic; for the importation

ot such numbers of barbaric Africans, (indeed, there was no other kind, until taught a little civilization in America,) was having a deleterious effect upon the enterprise and energy of the people. They were ignorant, indolent, heathenish, without any redeeming traits of character. The importation of sueh ; in ciciueui in uui i'oion.iiiyii wa innini: 1 -'.1 ten leni-v to demoralize tI1.1t nortioii of - 1 the country where introduced; and those who bore their testimony against the traffic, saw the necessity of strong measures to put a stop to it; and hence, a law was enacted declaring that after the year 1G03, tho importation of slaves should be punishable with death. At the timo of tho organization of the government, and its incipient condition for some time afterward, the exact sphere and nature of slave labor, to mike it a source of wealth and profit to the nation, had not bven fullv demonstrated. It was found to bo ill-united to the climate and productions of some of the Northern States where it had been introduced, and measures weie adopted to have it abolished in thoso States only. In abolishing slavery in Massachusetts, Xew York, ccc, the reason a. id only reason, which we over heard assigned, was its unprofitableness. It was not done by emancipation, and giving each slave sixty dollars, but by disposing of tho human chattels as god-liko Massachusetts would now say in reference, to other States to Southern planters and traders. The number of slaves was not decressed; a change of masters and location was the only object sought, or intended to be accomplished. That a general abolition of slavery was expected or desired by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, or Monroe, whose testimony against the institution Htlper parades with much bombast, is evidenced from the fact that they all, during their lives, and at tho time of their death, held slaves, and expressed no intention of emancipating them, and giving them a bonus besides. What would we think of a man at the present day who preached abolitionism and yet held a sufficient number of slaves in bondago to support him? It would have no weight at all; it would bo as the 'tinkling cymbal and the sounding brass.' It would be like a Republican Congressman preaching abolitionism in Massachusetts and Washington, an I owning slaves in Missouri. It s evident from these conclusions and many others that will readily suggest themselves, that to class those patriot statesmen with abolitionists, is a libel upon their unspotted character. Tho most ridiculous and untruthful assertions can bo proven from the writings of any man, by garbled extract?, and misrepresenting the connection, or incorrectly stating the time and circumstances under which such sentiments were expressed. Aa an example of what Washington said in regard to sectional agitation, which abolitionism could not possibly i.iil to engender, if advocated, or attempted to bs enforced, wo give the following extract from his farewell address, delivered to the people of the United States on retiring from office. We hope no reader who has never read tho address, will fail to read the whole of it, when they will see that the sentiments expressed in the following extract, aro those of his heart, and just what ho meant to give utterance to: "It ia of infinite moment that you tshould proporly estimate tho immense valuo of your national union, to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual and immovable attachment to it; .accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as tho palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealoii3 anxiety; discountenancing whatcrever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event bo .abandoned; and indignantly frowning upon tho fir3t dawning of very attempt to alienate any portion of tho country from the rest, or to enfeeble

the sacred ties which now link together

the various parts.1 Probably no man of the time3 in which he ÜTed, has been more wantonly mis -

represented than has Thomas Jefferson, j Slavery had existed in St. Domingo for The most ultra, uncompromising and centuries, until abo!ihed a few yeirs .ago, senseless of the whole abolition crew, siricc which time it has been going the quote from him to prove themselves fol- downhill road to destruction as fist as a lalowers in his footsteps, and the eepecial 1 zv, thriftless, ignorant population can take representatives of the principles he held j it. A late traveler, writing from there, and .advocated with .ill the powers of his savs that the most magnificent and costlv great mind, lie held slaves during hia ! residences, where the refined, wealthy and

life, and at his death left them to his

heirs. If he had been in favor of abo.i-iftbodo of r.egro-s, whose iihh is ii,de. eritionism, would he imt have given the hbo, hogs, reptiles, and every filthy, slaves their freedom, at least at his death j aloii.ful, creeping thing which a tropical when they could be of no more service to j climate and utter desol ition can call tohim? If he kept them because ho could ; qcther. The calamity which befell Sodom

take better care of ihem than they could of themselves, (which some s which we believe, not only in thi but in ninteen cases of twenty exist in the slave States,) why did he not provide for their emancipation vhen his demise would cause them to fall into other hands? The answer is so plain that those who cannot see it. are those who will not. TT ? - .11' , . . nisop.nwn on mo Missouri Compromise question was eo frequently, and so unequivocally stated, that thoso who would pervert them into ao endorsement of abolitionism are either incorrigibly ignorant, oi perniciously vtie. Although in retiremeat at his home in Monticello, his country's danger, less portentous than at the jpr.sent time, aroused fears for her safety; and while in this state of mind Le wrote to John Adams: "Monticello, Dec. 10, 1019.

Helper and his Republican friends say, that the stin.ulous which free-! dorn would give to the South, would almost instantaneously elevate it to the highest position in the scale of wealth, iatelligence, and all that constitutes true national j greatness. In support of this idea, they refer to those States which have abolished slavery, as evidence of the advantages which would accrue to all others who follow their example. This modi of reasoning affords the most flimsy argument in favor of their pet idea; and amounts to nothing, as slavery in thoso States was found tobe unprofitable, which ia a dil covery the Southern States have not yot made; and we doubt not but that it will rerpiire all the eloquence and chicanery which the Ilelperilcs can bring to bear on the subject, to couvincc ihem that the abolition of slavery would "militate their aggrandizement," where the 'practical workings of the system for two hundred years has failed to accomplish that result. " Slavery, at the present time, maj not bo an advantage to the Rtipeiior rao in some of the States where it now exists; but wo have no doubt but the people of those States will abolish the system when

How Kind! The New York Tribune eayg: "It ii time some genuine attempt were made to restore a truly patriotic and healtlisul state of public feeling, after the past weeks and months of Ij1115 and slanderous partisan efforts to stimulate irritation and agitation in the country." TheAlabany Atlas i Argus in reply ara it sounds sincere, yet such gentle ltepublican "purring has its alloy. The same paper that is so anx to restore a healthy public feeling," not long einca pubhsed in bold Roman tvpe the folloing atrocitieslrom the pen of one of iti clerical coadjutors, reffpectingthe deeds of Johu Brown: "It may be a natural duty for the Freeman to help the fclavcs to the enjoymant of their libertr and as means to that end to aid them in killin-afl !-uch as oppose their natural frcedoin, 9
