CN. Auti, Esq. Sin: Ilattoa
tift beiag afraid t 'publish my replies
to tia low attacks, I have to request
the jmWioatioii of the followinz in
jourjHijier.
Yours truly,
; . S. B. SIIOTWELL.
! Ricoabd Hatton, Sir: I notice by
your "worthless paper" of this werk
that you are not quite satisfied,' but
after a couple of weeks rest you have
again resumed the "practice of the
lock-step." Your article is highly
characteristic just the way a Rascal
- - always talks when caught in his tricks
and exposed as yon hare been and are
to the gae, contempt and ridicule of
honest people. You seem exceedingly
anxious to mSlce the public believe you
have always been Bingham's "open"
friend. I will try to help you along a
little on this point as you . appear to
Bucceed poorly. I never said you did
uoi. do rtiui jsst; ouc mac "you were
and are pecrbtly his eemy;" and so
I say yet. Why with all your efforts
you are not able to conceal your hos
tility. What mean such snarly, inad
dog kind of expressions as the follow
ing in your paper of Nov. 4, 1863
"'We are no man wonsmrrKU or man
Jearer; and we clain tho right to
speak approvingly or dis approvingly
of Mr. Bingham as of other men and
we INTEND to exercise it so long as we
. , live." And in your present article
"if ho (Bingham) is not satisfied with
what the press (Cadiz Republican you
mean as this is the oy press in the 1
District,) of tho old 21st Congressiona
District did for him na is certainly
VBSTT HARD TO PLEASE, to Say tho
s least of it." Such expressions do
not come from a friendly heart, but
from one boiling over with hatred and
ill-will. You say his election 3 years
ago" was before your difficulty with the
Agricultural Society. Well, whosaid
; it was noi? But your exertions to de
' feat hi a year ago were afterwards.
Now let us see how you ditt it. The
true friends of Bingham in the 16th
District felt that it was to say tho least
a DOUBTF0L one and that it would be
necessary to bring to his support every
union vote both Republican and Dem
ocratic. This you knew so talked
and professed to believe. Now in the
face of these facts in your paper of
the 16th July, 1862, you undertake to
define what you call "Our position,"
in which after giving us unconditional
Union men a few slaps you saj "The
question at issue between the Repub
licans ot Harrison county and a few
gentlemen in Cadiz is, whether the
Republican organization shall be ig
nored in the. approaching contest in
ims county. v e claim that the ex
istence of a Republican party should
he recognized in the call for a County
Convention, and that our party or
ganisation should be maintained by
putting in nomination a ' iikpublican
county ticket that we
ihould dontinue' to keep up our organ
ization is almost tho universal opinion
of tho Republicani of tho county."
' "We are willing toj act in
concert with the State Union organi
cation, FOR THE time BBiNa; and we
expect to suppaft the Union State
ticket which may be put in nomination
on the 21st of August, because it is
the BE3T WE CAS PO .UNDER TAB CIR
CCH3TASCB3. isut there is no reason
why the Republican party should bo
abandoned in Harrison county; and
wo trdsi that Republicans will per
mit No SUCH thing to take place.
lot TRUBjicpublicans from every town
ship, be sent up as delegates to the
county conrention, and let us mako a
ticket composed bxclusivelt of Rj-
publicans. We want no mongrel
ticket in Harrion County. We have
men in 0R own party, competent to
fiH all the offices in oar gift; and we
can givo a STttAianx Republican tick
et more votes in this oounty, than cm
be given to a mongrel ticket. Noth
ing therefore is to be gained in jhe
way of votes by abandoning the Re
publication organization.
"Believwg'.that the Republican par
ty la nearer RlQUTthan any otuee
jpolitical organisation in this county,
jrefhall labor to maintain it, notwith
- stailiog theBNKlRS of the would-be
leaders of ' hew party here or else
wata; and in doing so we believe we
. are carrying out the wishes of nineteen
-twentieth of. th Bopliblicans of this
punty." ? Such was joar (Dick Ht-
tions) posttiea and in it you were sup.
parts of the county, who thought they
had eons chance for office in the Re
pnblicaa party, but knew they had
I nos in an unconditional Union organ
ization. Now it must be recollected
that a year previous to this we had a
Union organization in Harrison coun
ty, but when it became manifest that
we either had to let you have your own
course or hare. a PianT.it was thought
best to abandon the Union organiza
tion, anil let you have your course
and so you had. In the other coun
tics in the District our friends attempt
ed a Union organization, and when
Bingham was nominated he was put on
a ririON tlatpoum-. The opposition
6iezcd on your article, published and
republished it through out the Dis
trict and showed the political charac
ter of the Harrison cuunty ticket ami
claimed mas your paper Was liing-
ham s home organ, and therefore his
mouth pice, and that the whole Union
organization was a cheat and a fraud
'to catch gudgeons.' . The result was
.t. . i i. . , .
wi.-u iingnam was oeatcn oy some
2300 votes. Belmont and Tuscarawas
ounties, which we had carried the
year befor by small majorities went
against us Belmont by some 100Q
and Tuscarawas by some 1100, and
even in Harrison our majority was re
duccd to less than 200. Tho fact was
tliat nobody but such as were or had
Lbeen Republicans voted for him.
Now could any friend of Binghams,
with tho light, you had before you,
occupying tho relation and position
you did (the Editor of a newspaper in
liinjrham S Own COUntvl in n. ilnnKtful
district, make such a blunder? No,
sir; you were and are no friend of
his. You aro his secret enemy and
need not try to lie out of it. The
people of Harrison county and the
.District know and feci it.
' l'ou say Bingham did not get you
appointed to office. My information
was otherwise. The people of Harri
son county will be glad to hear that such
amonkey was not appointed to office
igh Bingham's iufluence. You
say that tor a mess of oysters I
"helped you skin the Agricultural
Society." Well you admit that you
did skin tiiem. That's exactly what
I said and am glad that you admit it.
But I did not help you and got no
oysters. It is true that preferring the
"new Board" to the old Board I voted
for it; but I took no part in the con
test. But I guess you afterwards
found the "new Board" quite as care
ful of the interest of the society as the
"old" had been, as I understand they
brought down the printing about ?60.
I think my conceptions were about
right. What do you think.'
But let us come to the great ques
tion of your "Frauds on the County
Treasury." You say I make the amount
greater than jt should he, and charge
me with lying about the matter. I
make the amount for last year 000,55.
Is not this the true amount? Look
over your accouut and see, and if there
is any error, point it out and I will be
pleased to correct. Rascal and dis
honest as you are I will do you justice.
In looking over the statement I made
out and published, I notice through
inadvertance one item of $23,12 for
"printing for Buard of School Exam
iners" was left out. This should be
put in the published statement and the
footing of $000.55 is the correct a
mount received by you. Now cither
admit yourself a willful and deliberate
liar, or show wherein I have misstated
the matter. You next claim I mis
represented you in regard to your
charges of 56.25 and $67.50 for the
Treasurer's notice of last year and
year before that tho "latter is Ion
ger man cue lormer. aovr let any
man examine the two notices, and he
will find that the notice for which you
charge $67,50 is really the shorter
one of the two. It contains 63 double
or 125 lines of single column matter,
while the one for which you charge
?5C.2o contains 65 double or 180
single lines; counting in both pieces
ot lines as whole double column
lines. Tho two notices are substan
tially the same, and the only difference
is the one just pointed out and that the
one published two years ago is in lar
ger type than those of last and the
present year. Ten lines according to
your term3 make a square. Sj the
notice for which you charge $56,25
contains precisely 13 squares and the
tho ono you charge $67.50 contains
13 squares less 4 lines. I suppose you
charge the $11,25 additional because
Richey writes notices shorter than
Grace another evidence of your "re
markable honesty." Now these noti
ces only containing 13 squares,
come to only $19.50, and no more for
the first three insertiont, according to
your own published terms, and you
cannot cover up your frauds by lying.
However, this is said to bo. constitu
tional with you, and perhaps yon ought
not to be blamed. :j You next say I
"took 1 advantage of a typographical
error in your .terms. ; If . there was
any such error why do you not point
jtodtf - rerhaps, as I am a pretty!
were in the habit of changing your
towns lust year about m often u the
moon eliatiged.. .For instance, in July
your terms were, for first three inser
tions, $1,50 per square of ten lines,
and 25 cents for each additional inser
tion. Id August and Sentcmber Your
terms wore 2 cents ftr each additional
insertion, and in October you put it up
for the first time te 50 cents; and on
the 1st of January for the FIR3T time
you stuck in that you would charge
"double for tabular matter." This
was after the publication of the no
tices referred to, and there could be no
double charging for "tabular matter"
as to them. Now all this charging is
easily understood when we recall the
facts. It was the latter part of July,
1802, I first discovered and exposed
your frauds. You immediately came
boldly" about ine. Yes, you are a
brave fellow.. I have heard before of
your bravery have had some remar
kable exhibitions of it in the Morgan
war for instance. "You are going to
tell' the truth" the truth, eh? Well,
we hare had some illustrations of that
too. "Not going to make anymore
mean, cowardly insinuations" chT
Oood for you. After we have roasted
you a littlo. longer, you max come to
some sense of propriety. Getting
very independent of "county officers"
and "county patronage." Glad to hear
it. ' Have no doubt the County officers
will rejoice, as there is not one of
them , but regards you as the most
loathsome "copperiibad" in the land
"Your office belongs to you" "paid
for it with money you earned before
you came to the county." You have
out in one of your abusive articles, in said that so often that it begins to look
which, after giving me hark, you said 1 Tike a lie. One thing is 6ure you got
you did all this work at the usual rates
and "according to your published
terms." This of course you knew
would give rise to inquiry as to your
terms, and as everybody know that af
ter o notice is onco set up and tut
in the paper it requires KO iAbor to
continue it, you put down your terms
for tho continuance to 2 cents a square.
This you did to blind the public and
mako everyone believe that you really
"did the work as cheap as it could be."
Besides, Treasurer Grace, never hav
ing considered your paper worth ta
king, and having beaten you . for the
office, you did not consider him a very
good friend, and doubtless feared he
might not give you this "fat job" un
less your terms were lower than the
Sentinel's. But having as you suppo
sed got the public satisfied, and secu
red tho job, you put it up to 50 cents
for each additional insertion. This
you did to have the terms "all right"
for the settlement with the Auditor.
All this shulling and changing was
done of course, to cover up your
frauds, just as I said. But having se
cured the job when your terms were
down at two cents, you must stand to,
them. So these notices really, ac
cording to your own "printed terms"
amounted only to the sum of $20.2S,
anl no more. And certainlv. as four
ours is ample time to do all the work,
u pain at mat race you wouiu De very
liberally paid only at the rate of
about five dollars per hour; but you in
sist on about $14 in ono and $17 per
hour in tho other, and want people to
think you aro honest and truthful.
You honest!! You truthful!! You
state nothing but facts! ! Out on such
PREVARICATION and CHBATERY.
But let us look a little farther into
your dirty frauds. I have shown that
your account for last year was three
times as large as it ought to have been
and it is reasonable to corcludo that
all your charges since you came into
the county were about at the same rate.
On looking into the public records I
find the "facts and figures" to show
that:

Amount of your overcharge, $4136,07
Now i3 not this perfectly astounding
to the moral sense of all" honest men?
Just think of it. The people of Har
rison county taxed $4,136 to be put
into your pocket over and above what
your work fairly amounted to accor
ding TO YOUR OWN PRINTED TERMS
after paying for the work of a boy in
your office at the rate of $5 per hour.
Out on such corrupt rascality. Why,
sir, you have been sucking tho blood
from tKe body politic 80 long that you
.have assumed the very shape .'and appearance--the
humped back and puck
ered mouth most loathsome thing in cre
ationa vile, dirty, filthy Leech.
The Commissioners ought to sue you
and compel you to repay this money
back to tho County; and if they do not
attend to it promptly, the people ought
to assemble in their primary meetings
and require the Commissioners to at
tend to you. You undertake to justify
yourfrauds by reference to the terms of
papers of Belmont and Coshocton coun
ties. This proves nothing for you.
They doubtless make their account out
within their terms. But your chargos
are three times as high, as I have
shown, as your terms. You say you
will give me ten dollars if I will make
affidavit that I told you you ought to
repay the $100 you charged and ob
tained for unauthorizedly publishing
the receipts and expenditures in 1856
and thaj I proposed to return to you
tho feo you paid me for getting the or
der made by the Commissioners. Come
on with your money and you can have
the affidavit; and if the Commissioners
want it they caa hare it for nothing.
You know my statement of the tacts
in .regard to that matter ia the exact
truth, and you need not try to lie out
of it. ' ' :, ;".
You next say you are going to "talk
rich somewhere, and , I rather "guess
the above ficts an 1 figures show when,
where and how! That a great office
oi yours great aiuir worth ; you
think $2500. Let us see! You g;iy
your annual receipts anj oaly $2,0 )0,
Of this you get from the County from
$(500 to $000. Your other advertising
is worth as much more, say $1,200 for
both. That leaves 8S00 for vour na-
. . - V 1
per: ; Well, you may have 400 sub
scribers, perhaps. Now to get up
such a subscription list might be worth
$100.' That would be a high price.
Those who have examined your press,
materials, type, &c, say $800 would
bo a big price for thein. Say for them
and subscription list. $1,000, That's
liberal. Now pray what is tho other
$1,500 for? You answer for die "crood
will of tho establishment." Ah, pray
what is that? I don't exactly under
stand. Let U3 see, Oh, yes, I under
stand. That means theoPDortunitvto
"8KIK" the county outjoffrom $600 to
$000 per annum. That's it, exactly. A
.pretty good investment. About $200 is
for work at $5 per hour and the balance
is clean, clear profits. Well, Dick, you
are a pretty good financier. Suppose
you "get the principal of the High
School to cipher out" the per centage.
But really you ought to change the
name of youi creat tnoar. It onrht
to bo called "Ilatton's Private Quar.
rel's Advocate," and I suawst a3 a
motto "No replies to 'our' attacks ad
mitted in this paper." These changes
being made, with you for editor (a
man you know of grea t exporieneo in
tho "language" of Brothels) it would
be a capital organ for your old friend
and fellow countryman, Henry Ai
Wise, whose ghost seems to trouble
you of late. But you say about two
years ago I 'wanted to arroBt Mr.
Allen and , close his establishment.
This is not true You had better see
your eavesdropping friend and get the
real facts. Perhaps in making this
inquiry you ray leara that I was more
recently very much in favor of report
ing some other'gpntleman's case. Well,
the 5th. of January is co'ming, and
when you arrive at "Phillipi," you will
doubtless find me there. If the "rot
ten pumpkin" should last that long, it
is doubtful if it can be handled cither
by or with a' "pitchfork" or "hoop
polo." So good evening, and pass
along to your hole and tribe, practising
the lock-step when it suits your fancy,
and trading your coat if you wish for
so.me thing you like better.
Yours, truly,
S. B. SIIOTWELL.

your collegiate or proiessionar studies. I

eagerly forward to the time when you will
pass from your professions into political life.
That is tho goal ol your atobi'ious longings.
Your hearts are fixed upon it. It is an hon
orable, a holy ambition; an ambition not to
be extinguished, but to be regulated. Ho is

ADDRESS
OK
HON. C. L. VALLANDIGHAfil,
TO TUB
Students of the University,
November 14, 1803.
Notwithstanding the very inclement wea
ther on Saturday, a large body of students
ot tbe University of Michigan came down on
tho morning train for a formal visit to Mr.
Vallandigham. Tbe proceded to Windsor
at eleven o'clock, where tbe large dining hall
of the U irons House had been set apart for
the meeting. The hall was crowded, there
being present,' in addition to tbe students,
several prominent citizens of Detroit.
Mr. 'Vallandigham was' addressed on be
half of the students by Mn C. A. Buekirk.
This address was eloquent and patriotic
We regret that want of space prevents its
publication. At the conclusion of the ad
dress Mr. A, 8. McAlistcr, chairman of the
Delegation, introduced Hon. C. L Vallan
digham, who, thanking the Students for the
compliment of a visit, addressed them as fol
lows: "
1 thank yiu, young gentlemen, for this
visit. I thank you, sir, especially, Mr. Bus
kirk, for tbe compliments so handsomely ex
pressed on behall of your fellows. The ap
plause of the young is tbe highest praise
They speak the language oi the coining gen
oration, and anticipate the judgment of pos
terity. To that judgment, If it so be that
my name snail chance to live i the record
of these times, I long since appealed; and,
meantime, am content to abide tha scrutiny
which must precede it. Without . further
personal allusion, therefore, in reply, allow
me to pass to another subject t and, if it be
in my power, thus to change a visit of cere
mony into one perhaps not altogether with
out profit. i
You are students. Some ot you still pur
sue your classical and scientific studies; oth
ers preparo yourselves for professional pur
suits; all ol yon are eager to rush, into the
great world, and be men. Yet, in a little
whife, when you have borne its buffotings
with lusty sinews, not one of you but will
exclaim with, a sigh,
"Ah! happy years, who would not be a boy
, again.". ..,...,'.(. . . ;
But In tbe battle of life there is no rotreat
and the brave spirits among you will press
forward, and the weak falter and perish: and
just in proportion as you are disciplined ev
ery way, you will be ready to meet whale-
loriuuu may oeime jou. yataun ttit tune." 1 wbilo his execution rii idjuds! Judicial
politics, except the passions and personalities
which they excite. If not able to argue up
on principles, measures politics, debate not
at all. If yon can not Roar do not creep.
Whoever discusses only raon in politics, is
always largely a slanderer. Principles, not
men, is not, indeed, altogether a sound max
im; though little liable to be abused since
personalities always make up 8 5 large and
controlling an element in mere partisan po
lilies. Better say principles and men. It is
easy to be a politician or demagogue Sail
With the wind; float with tbe current; look
not to the compass, neither lift up your ye
to the Heavens where the constella'i.ins and
the pole star bright, glorious emblems of
uod and truth and right still shine, stoaJ
fast, immovable, just as they shone in the
beginning of time.- Poe'a naicitar. So it is
with the demagogue. But tho statesman
must be made as well as born, llis voyace
13 through mid ocean and in storm, lie
sails under orders, llis port is ascertained
and prescribed before be sets out, and it is
his duty to reach it; and so like the majestic
ocean steamer, no sails on, und
" Against the wind , a gainst the tide'
Still steadies with an uprishlkeel."
Demosthenes, more than two thousand
years ago, in his great oration for the crown,
well distinguished between these two char
acters, declaring that whilo they were alike
in nothing, they diiiered ch icily in this that
the statesman boldly and honestly proclaim
ed his opinion before the event, andj thus
mauo miuseii responsible iy lor'une, to tne
times, to his countrymen, to the world; while
the sycophant or demagogue was silent -till
the event had happened; and then governed
bis speech and his conduct accordingly.
And now allow me to add, that though
you may be patriots and yei not statesmen,
the great statesman is always a patriot. His
love of country is as well a principle as an
emotion. Duty enters largely into ithence
it is stable, enduring. It is not sensational--,
certainly not a mere feeling of gratitude;
least of all, in the meaning of that word as
defined by Dr. Johnson: "a lively sense of
favors yet to be received." lie loves his
country both wisely and well. He never
sacrifices her real though more remote inter
ests to a popular clamor, and still less at the
demand of those whe hold tbe power. Nei
ther will be corrupt the virtue nor tarnish
the honor of his country to serve her mere
sordid interests. Rather will he imitate the
example of Aiistides, who, reported to the
Atnenians mat a certain proposition was in
deed for their immediate advantaeo. hut
'would bring dishonor upon the State coun-
seiod tnat tney reject it.
I bsve said nothing about "loyalty." .It
is a word which belongs justly, but only to
kingly governments. I can comprehend loy
alty to a king, and especially to a , queen;
but ns an American, I choose to adhere to
tho good and honest old republican word,
"patriotism," and to cherish (be virtue which
it has always been used to express. '
Aspire, then, young gentlemen, yon who
would pursue a publio aourse, to bo patriot
statesmen.. Have faith- absolute, unques
tioning, immovable tbat faith wbioh speaks
to ltseina the silence ot tno neart's own
Moultrio. Fort Lamar aui lia'.ierj
