In the Intter capacity wo fanoy he has thought it necessary to give an unequivocal support to the financial sophisms of the Ohio platform, in order to head off old Fog-Horn Aztey, whoea candidature hns been rocently rovived, In dolng this, wo think he hss committed himsell to statements which, asa lawyer, will trouble him to sustain, 'Tho following extract ombraces the purport of what ho sald on the financial resolutions: opinion of tho American idea of fair-play ns to think they can be guilty of such infamous conduct sa this without bringing down npon themssives popular condemnation and ro- sentment ? The indignity put upon Secrotary Smza- MAN was not less injurious, although -the Committeo, in his caso, had somo protonse of ovidenco, as their porjured witnoss, An- DERION, swore that he had recoived a letter from Buxnuax, ond bad held o convorsation with bim implying that he (Bmxauax) had promised Wenen and AND2usoN a roward for making such prolests as would lead to the rojaction of their parishes. DBut there was nothing bnt a protense aftor all. It hias been domonstrated, oven to the satisfaction of Brx Burien, that Bzeaman never wroto the lotter accredited to him, and nothing has appoared which shows that BmenuAx over wrote or sald anything that could be con- strned na an offort to corrupt anybody., In foct, Becrotary SmemuaN proposed to tho Committas to prove that tho vory basis of suggestod by the bill, ho will have the Learty support of the Américan people, It wiil b woll for tho Canadian and British people to undorstand that the paymant, if made nt all, will not be in obedionce to tholr clamor or throats, but simply bacause that may seem to bo tho most conveniont ssttloment of the dispute, involving, in the termination of tho troaty, the surest and most effectual puvish. mont of tho frand.
