Last week wo wrote a somewhat lengthy article under the above caption, only a part ..f which we had time to et into type. This week wo continue it, giving another instance or evidence of the partiality or the commissioners; alo, a section of law on this subject, showing clearly that it must he forthe'purposü of exercising assumed au thciity that they have in some instances rrrauied what the law alk-ws and in o'hers d-jtiied ieqiuts which for more palpable r- ao.3 they should have listen! to. The case we allude to is that of a paup .r by the name of B-ughart For some time he las tven living with a Mr. King II i hü id and crippled from h burn he r.-exved when a child. When told that he kiiouM get ready to go to the Commissioners' poor house, ho told them they might as well kill him. that he was of no ai;c.iunt to tho world, and added that he would not go where tho Commissioners desired. This is the substance of his remarks as we heard them. Mr. King who is a humane gentleman and a Republican, wo believe, told the Commissioner that he would continue to take care of him for 1,50 per week, which wo understand was the price agreed upon, and Boughart remains. That they should permit this pauper to remain with King is perfectly in accordance with the provisions of tho law, so far as wc understand it, but why this distinction should hi mad. between paupers, we cannot perceive. The plea of economy is out of the tAu siion.for, ia th case of Boughart the difference in the piiceof taking care of him amounts to only 19,75, per year, while in the case of the Ragan family it would he a saving of 5233,00, as the family, we understand, has asked only 81.25 if they were allowed to remain at. their home. We are forced to conclusion that politics must b" had something to d in these As Q 1;ave shown, no r.jsn!eration of economy has influenced thern, neither has compassion and sympa thy for the poor and needful had any infJuence over them. For the purpose of exercising authority not granted them by law, they tarn a deaf ear to the entreaties of the poor, and shut their eyes to the interest ofih people, and to all appearance, leL out the keeping of these county charges for the benefit of men of theirown party, well knotting thr.t no Democrat would be allowed the job, and when a pxr woouu who happens to bo the widow of a Democrat, asks the privilege the law Ho Ys her, and all others in similar condition, thuy say their heartless decre must be obeyed, or these helpless persons will have taken from them every farthing of their county support, that tho tax -payers would all, with the exception of the clique, be glad to give them. We xoay be wrong in our first impression in relation t the j irti.il and shameful transactions ot these f.-fiieial, and hope that ldr actions will, in th future, give U3 reason to be-li-fvy tha: th"y are not the heartless, paitia', corr ;pt politicians and officer their actions so fir, give us ieason to fear they aie. For tl.- puipo.-e of showing that the commissioners have not complied with the provisions and intent of the law on this nuhj' Ct, in the cas of the Ragan family, we quote the following section, which may be found on page 4'J3, Rev. Stat., Vol. 1. Vol. 1. Sec. K The board of County Commissioners m iy in their detention, allow and pay to poor persons who may bcume chargeable as p.tupers, and who are of mature yv'ars und sound r.iind, iiud who, Irom their general character, will prubal 1 be henuitted therby, and also to parents if idiots and of children otherwise helpless, requiring the attention to their parents, and who are unable to provHc lor said children themsel ves:rich c nual Allowance ua will not exceed thff charge of liieir maintenance in the ordinary m ule, the $aid Inard taking the usual nmtnnt of charge in like e tte att'ie rult for uwjiixy suck alloicance. From thy ab ve, it will he se'Mi that their doaineering power is cbarly assumed, and that were they disposed to act hu mane they ould allow the Ragan family any amount that would not exceed the usual charge of their nnhjtenance at tho poor hous, and l?t them remain at their hofoe; aqd, as mer. possessing th. least spark of humanity, s ftithful and economical o(nper, to sav nothing about Christianity, it is their duty to grant the small pittance t'iid family and a sympathizing public usk for th-ir maintenance. It is useles3 for such men to talk about being sympathizers with the oppressed and afflicted, when they show by their actions that thoy would permit those under their harge, who claim what the law allows them :o starve rather than have thsir mandates disobeyed. Slaves of the south would consider themsdos in bad hands if

Oar venerable frienl up street still reifses to answer why it was that the par tiality, which wo have ppoken ol heretolore, and particularly in our issue of the 19th u't., was shown by ihe Commissioners of the County between the two ex-Clerks. He quoted, hi his last issue, a short arti cle of ours in which we asked the above question, and in his comments following, pronounced it an entire 'falsehood,' but failed to prove anything of the kind. In i thi3 case he finds it easier to 9ay it is false hood, than to prove our statements to be such. In speaking of what we said about Mr. Corbaley looking over his record when he gets ready,' our christian friend comments as follows: "His statement above that Mr. Corbaley's record is It ft for him to look over when he gets ready, like the one about the Commissioners holding private sessions' is utterly false. Mr. Corbaley's indebtedness was hunted up immediately after Mr. Packard's had been ascertained, and this the editor knew or should have known from the way we spoke about it week ago, as well " from the coir-mm icition of Mr. Corbaley himself. It is true Mr. Packard paid up his delinquency when notified t f the amount, as we stated at the time. He did not question its correctness or ask for the privilege of ' looking over therecoids of the office to ascertain for himself whether the amount was correct or not if he did we never heard of it, and therefore the intimation contained in the above extract that he was denied this privilege may be set down as another falsehood." So far as Mr. Corbaley looking over his record when he geta ready, is con cerned, we only hare his word for it. He said he would look over it at his 'ear liest convenience,' which we should think was the tame as 'when ho gets ready.' Also, that the Commissioners wanted to hold a 'private session,' we only have the word of oao of them, and those who were requested to leave the room, that this statement is true. Whether they dd hold a private session or not, we, of course, as well as everybody else otdy thosa present, do not pretend to say, for what they did was trivate, at least from the Democrats requested to leave the room. "Mr. Corba'ey's indebtedness wag hunted up immediately,' ice. How should wo have known this when our neighbor said, in substance, (we quote from memory,) that the full amount of Mr. Corbaloy'a indebtedness had not yet been ascertained, but it was something over 400, but, when it was ascertained, he would not be slow in moi; i 1...W1.U ami, bo far as Mr. Cor baley's communication goes, it proves that his record had not yet been searched, at least to his satisfaction, and that he was going to attend to it when tie got ready. How should we have known that Corbaley 's record had been searched, when last week was the first time our prompt friend gave the amount of Mr. C.'s indabtedness, land, how will he harmonize- this with the statements that Corbaley's record was looked over immediately after Packard's, and that when the amount was ascertained he would net be low in making it known? Here is something wrong, surely. It has now been about two months since this record of Corbaley's should have been searched and tho amount ascertained and our neighbor knew it all the time, but was all this while stating it to the 'dear people' of this county. What is still more strange, the editor found out tho eame week of ihe Court, the exact amount of Mr. Packard's delit-quencies and fortwith published it as an atteupt at embezzlement.--There is but one solution to the complex problem we have given, and that is, our eotemporary is alike guilty with the Commissioners for screening mMi of their own purty, for tho very tilings they hraM to t!.e citizens of thi county as dishonesty and corruption in others. Know in-' the amount of Corbaley's indebtedness so long, even as ho says we should have knowt; it. he Aas been slow to publish it. and had we net continued to speak of it. he would never have published it, so we believe, and so do all men who know the circumstances anJ the editor of the Republican. What confidence can safely be imposed in aen who will let their political prejudices so blind them that they will act as the Commissioners of this county have, and what credence sho'd the statements of the man who excuses their conduct, defames tho character of hit fellow-citizens, for polhical effect, and defends thos win are, by far, more guilty than those he seeks to injure, l.avo? Such are the men who now 'presido over the dstiny' of Marshall County and such is the man mat cuus mu luarenan county Republican. Our neighbor can continue to call us a liar as long as ho chooses, and when we wariiio, we will, for tho fcako of brevity, call him ihe same; however, we have not got that far along t. We shall content ourself for awhile by showing that ho it a very corrupt politician, and iht he will resort to almost any rae&nai for lne ?ut' poii of making a vot lor the UepuD:Can ticket. This i not only our own opinion, hut it is the opinion of hi own pattuans, that he 'goes beneath the dignity of any editor' with his -slang.' We have expected a ood deal of his abuse, if such it may be called, and therefore, aro only surprised Iht he should have containod himself 0 ong. He would probably have held in

longer, as we believe this was the policy, but the case was an ajjirravated one find he would ease himself, just a little. We hope he feels better now, but he need not flatter himself that he is going to divert us from our purpope. Why did you not publish the amount of Corbaley's indebtedness as soon aa you knew what it was? do you know why Mr. Corbaley's record was

examined first, as he went out of office when Mr. Packard went in? If 'personal feeling or 'political capital' had nothing to do in the purported expose, and you knew of Corbaley's delinquencies, why did you publish Packard's and not say one word about Corbaley ever hering been Clerk of this county? These are things that we want to know. Charleston Convention. Again we have to go to press without beino- able to tell our readers who is the nominee of the Charleston convention. A platform has been adopted, which in substance i the Cincinnati platform with the principle of tho "Dred Scott decision" incorporated, favoring the acquisition of Cuba, on terms honorable to our country and profitable to Spain, and the protection of native and naturalized citizens, at home and abroad, on land or on the seas. Some of the e xtreme southern delegates did not like this blatform and withdrew from the convention. We have not learned whethtdeo have comeback or not, but the convention proceeded to ballot for the nomine as though these radical gentlemen had not left, voting that a two-thirds majority of all the oiiginal delegatep was necessary to a choice. We do not look for Douglas to get the nomination, owing to the fact that those who are opposed to him are uncompromisingly so. Any good man on this platform will receive the support of the true democracy everywhere The Prize Fight. The long projected Dght between John C. Heenan, tho "Benicia Boy" and Tom Sayrs, champion of England, came off on the 17th ult. The fight lasted two hours and eight minutes, during which time 39 lounds were fought. Both men displayed "great skill and pluck. Heenan brought Sayers to the ground every lime excepting one, and several times lifted Sayers clear of the turf with his tremendous blows. Sayers gave Heenan many of a similar kind but not hard enounh to bring him to mother earth. Heenan 'a eyes were nearly closed, which was the only punishment he received. Sayers' right arm was toward the last rendered useles by trying to parry off Heenan's powerful blows. In the 39th round Heenan go'. Sayers round the neck and vas in a fair way to win tho fight, when Morisey cut tho rope against which the combattants were leaning or on which they were depedding, and they both came to the ground, Sajers under. The English saw it rushod in and carried their as good as whipped champion. The ring of England is forever dishonored and disgraced, aud Morisey Lad better stay with the cowards of that country. For the Democrat A GLANCE AT Helper's Impending Crisis. BT INVESTIGATOR. A correspondent of the Republican, under the cofjnomen of "Castigator," has been reviewing our"Glancc,y and a perusal of the articles that have appeared has failed to convince us, or any one else wc have heard ppeak of them, that they disprove any of the positions we assumed. We do not intend to answer his trash in detail, but will notice a few of the most glaring falsehoods, and total lack of knowledge concerning that about which he assumes to know go much. In Cifltigator's first article, lie says: " Wc preface our remarks by saying that we are not an admirer or defender of any ofllelper's wrong acts or wrong sayings. 11 it was not generally known that Repub'icau.s had given examples of endorsing and defending what they know tobe wrong, this explanation, and denial before accusation, would have been unnecessary, l'e then cites to a number of renowned personages of historical notoriety, and argues that we can endorse the good they done, without being in any way responsible for their reprehensible conduct. It ia certainly a poor compliment to his readers to thus inainuatc that they did not know this before. We most respectfully ask Mr. C. if Tom Taine's Age of Reason was ever recommended by any except thoso who believed thf; doctrines of author? C. does not ap pear to know the difference, or nt least docs not recognize it, between endorsing a man and endor sing a book; if he did, he would have Been that his argumcnt.dösigned to prove that those who admired King David, tbe Napoleons, Tom Paine, &c.,were not responsible for the bid deeds they committed, was a total failure, as it did not meet the question at issue. The contents f a book are more easily become acquainted with than than the actions of a lifetime, an 1 there is no excusa for assuming to know its contents, when the reverse is true. If C. was to endorsea man, hit friends would probably never cease laughing nt him. Tint he Fhould endorse fiomo particular act of a man, or his action on some particular subject, would not be at all strange. C, in his anxiety to paVc tho w ay for an endorsement of the Crisis, when he was compelled to admit that its author was a thief, has placed himself in a very unenviable position. According to his logic which is, that the truth is just as powerful for good, and entitled to just the same credence, coming from a disreputable source, as from any other, a minister, guilt? of tho crime of adultery or drunkeness, Fhould he flustained iu a coiniml.'dty because he tells his brethren a great ti'ZPr truths, yet hul to act upon them himself. A minister tni llac uyl ,nln7 mouths ago, was decapitated for immoral conduct although he told his brethren a great deal pf truth; yet his ron-

gregation upurnedhim. Castifritor uih t show j gtancos articles have to be traascribed bewhere Helper has on: go vl quality wlwro ho cv-. furQ entering the compositor's hands. ertold tho truth-or merited approbation. Every j j,j aCC0Unt for tn0 non appeaiancc

act of hl life proves mm . wiy uuvo,.. or those attributes whu h iimire love nnd respect for their posfCS-or,

In another part of the first article, C. sajs: Let the book go before the people, tha real sovreigns, and Republicans have no fear of its injuring their party." We suppose this is what the fifty-eight Republican Congressmen thought when they recommended and endorsed it, and w eut into an arrangement to raise $10,000 to have it circulated gratuitously in those States where Republican votes would be most needed at the next residential election. More than this fact would be unne

cessary, to prove that the Crisis was a Republbon electioneering document; and Castigator may call it "only ultra abolitionism," if this title suits him better than Republicanism. C, by a free use of italics and quotations, gets off something which he doubtless supposes is very shrewd, in relation to the endorsement of the Crisis; but with all the sagacity he gives us credit for, we are unable to see wherein he makes the point. If the fifty-eight did not endorse the subject mat terof the Crisis, in approving of the enterprise of publishing it gratuitously, we should like to know what they did endorse. But C.'s quibbling on this part of the subject, is nnworthy serious attention. In a late number of the paper in which he makes his apology for those who 6igned the recommendation may be found a speech of the Hon. Owen Lovejoy, one of the signers, in which may be found the following extract in relation to the Crisis: "Mr. Chairman: 1, for one, signed the paper recommending the circulation of the Helper book. I signed it intelligently. I was neither engrossed nor abstracted. I did it because I wanted to do it." So it appears that Cnstigator's apology and ex planation, so far as Mr. Lovejoy ia concerned, is unnecessary and uncalled for. C further savs: "Wc ad mil that the? should have done so Tread the Crisis before si jrninir such recommendation. hart they not good reason to believe the compend would contain nothing at variance with Republican Bless your dear soul, who supposes the Crisis does contain anything "at variance with Republican principles"? It is Republicanism personfied There is not a Republican vpeaker or editor but draws largely from its pages. "They were in formed by eminent members of the party that the character of the then forthcoming work would he Unexceptional. So these emwvnt Republicans be lieved." And so they still believe, so far as their action in relation to it since its publication proves. "The work was entrusted to the anthor of the book, and in his desire to strike slavery a vital blow, he incorporated into the compend a few sentiments the fifty-eight Republican Congressmen may not now and certainly never did endorse." The work was entrusted to a committee of "emi nent Republicans," and they probably shifted the labor on Helper, but could not transter the rcspon sibility, as it had to, and did, receive their sanction before its publication. C.'s statement that it con tains sentiments they may not now, and certainly never did endorse, amounts to nothing, when they refuse to make it themselves. The fact that C. does the dirty work without being called upon, it no reason why he should be believed when those for whom ho licks the dirt, refuse to recognizo his statements. There is one thing about Castigator's statement above quoted, which we think highly commendable, and that is its caution. He says: "He Helper incorporated into the Compend a few scLtimenta tho fifty-eight Republican Con gressmen mat not now, aud certainly never did endorse." The leaders of the Republican party change their position so frequently, and on such short notice, that it is impossible for the rank and file to keep up with them in their manifold gyrations, and hence the propriety of very great caution in making statements relative to their present position. The following is the conclusion of Castigator'a apology: "At the most, the obnoxious sentiments are only ultra alolitionism," which is no objection with Republicans, but are its chief merit. Castigator talks in the last paragraph of his first article, about somebody recommend ng tho "Black Diamond, a book thajt advocated the reopening of the damnable, murdering, piratical African slave trade," but as he does not give the names of those who recommended it: or state when or when the book was published, who was the author, or where a copy of it can be obtained, we very naturallj conclude that it exists only in Iiis imagination, and that he has thus violated his conscience, if he has any, to bolster his sinking causeStick to the truth, Mr. C, or at least tell lies that somebody will believe, which would be very ditferrcnt from the one about the "Black Diamond." In his last article, after calling the Democratic party an abelition party, ami making a few statements of like ilk, which we answered in our previous articles before they were made, C. branches ofT into an examination of Senator Fitch's political record; but we do not propose to follow him in all the the circumlocution which a strict observance of the Republican programme would compel him to make. We regard Mr. Fitch, and Mr. Douglas as abundantly able to vindicate their record, if any vindication is neccssary.against the pacrile attacks of Jail such lovers of abolitionism. In his last article, Castigator allows himself to get enraged because of our strictures on the action of the Republican party. He says wc 'lie,' tell untruths,' 'falsehoods,' and so on and so forth. Wc are not responsible for his lack of manners, or preponderance of impudence, and shall notattempt the hopeless task of mending the former, or the more bootless one of reproving the latter. In rejlation to our statement, (the subject matter of which was taken from the Crisis) relative to the Republican plan for interfering with slavery in the slave states, he says: "Investigator irell knme the Republican prty has no plan for interfering with slavery in the slave States, as expounded by Helper or anybody else." Whos-; plan was John Prown's? Brown was a Republican. His confederates were Republicans. Nobody, except Republicans, knew their intention?. They were but carrying out tho Republican motto, that "the South hall be free," and that "slavery must be abolished," and that "you and I Republicans wttur do it!" We wouldadvisc;Mr. Castigator to post himself on the tactics of his party, before he assumes to state what its plant are, or are not. Mr. C. aCTects holy horror, and turns tip his uasat protuberance, and assumes a tragic attitude, because we intimated that a man yes, a manmight hold property in slaves. Wc suppose ho would denounce such men calling them such,) an Jackson, nnd other patriarchs of our own nation, and the patriarchs of old, who held slaves, if scripture be true, as mere thingt. jCSrCorrcspondents will ploase write thoir communications with a pen, as pencil marks aro easilv effaced in some ini:..!,.

The Charleston Convention continued to ballot yesterday, Wednesday, but no nomination was made and it adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock to-day. They will most likely continue fo ballot for some davs on the candidates already ballotted for, and then will be taken up somo compromise man, which they might as well do to-morrow. Second Nominations. The Republicans of tho corporate town of Plymouth have already held two conventions for the purpoce of nominating candidates for the different corporation offices, to be filled on Monday next. Lasl week they had a convention, nominated a ticket, but it did not suit some accessions to th party, so they called a second convention which came off last night. Tho same ticket was re -nominated, from the fact that it had been selected by John L. Wesiervelt and Dr. Sherman. The dissatisfied will now have to go the ticket. It is decreed. Green Tp. Club. Tha meeting at the Olive School House, in Green township, was well attended, and was addressed by several speakers. The remarks of all were conservative and well-timed, and the be3t of leoling prevailed. This Club meets again, on Saturday tho 12th inst., at 2 o'clock P. M., at tho Cora school house for the purpose of perfecting an organization. -One of tha original Harper's Ferry insurrectionists staid in Bucyrus on Tuesday night. His name is Francis J. Merriam. Ho is one of the geuU that Gov. Letcher wants to sea so very badly; but Gov. Dennison thinks tho State of Ohio cannot spare him that without him Ashtabula would colbpse and tho Republican party go into mourning. He would not have stopped in Bucyrus had he not got into the condition vulgarly yclept "strapped." Somo of his Republican brethren in this place raised enough of "the needful" to send him on his way rej'oicing as far as Clevelajd. Bucyrus Forum. Prepared for Accidents. A gentleman in this city, who takes an occasional drive with his familv, always goes provided with powder and ball to shoot his horse in tho event of a runaway. This is a singular, but certainly a very wise precaution. He got the idea from a gentleman residing a fiw miles out of New York, who. driving home one night last sumer. with his wife aud two children in tho cariage, was placed in imminent danger by an unmanageable horse, which had taken fright at a lant?rn on the roadside. In attempting to hold the affrighted animal the lines broko, and the horse dashod off at a break-neck speed. Fortunately the gentleman bethought himself of a revolver in his side-pocket, and, drawing it, shot the horRQ through the head. The animal staggered aud fell. The occupants of the carrage were thrown out, but escaped withoufserious injury .-J Lafayette Courier The Charleston Courier dcsciibos ono graat point of union between tho north and south .thus: '"A deluge' or' delegation is a sufficient introduction to the public rooms or quarters of any one of tho delegation, and tho sprig of mint tastfully aranired in a liquid bonnet has been recog-
