The editor of the Statesman is going to give the Galphin claim particular jesse, from this time, henceforth. He is not going to let up, we ain't. He is bound to give them "enough" of it!
We shall expect that Medary will begin at the beginning, and give Mr. Forsyth, of Georgia, who was Secretary of State under Gen. Jackson, and Gen. Jackson himself a tremendous blowing up, as they all favored the Galphin claim in their day, and by their exertions kept the breath of life in it. We rather tremble for fear Medary will be obliged to take back a part of that eulogy! at least, so far as the doings in the world of bliss" are concerned.
We hope this modern Quixote will have a good time of it, fighting those huge giants he sees flourishing their arms at him. Meanwhile, we shall expose that "error in the account," and continue to pour broadside after broadside into the rotten hulk of locofocoism, and especially that part where wave the flags of "hard money," and "unrestricted individual liability." These are questions that concern the people of Ohio. These are what they will talk about, and vote about this fall; and the Statesman is only showing another evidence of its greenness, if it thinks, by this shallow artifice, to attract attention to something else. The Juggle won't win. Meanwhile, that the Statesman may not get out of material, we herewith furnish it with a list of real live Galphins of his own stripe. Fire away at them!
