Tom COrwin in favor Of increasing govern
ment expenses BY fOoling in Congress with
negro petitions 10 violation Of the COnsttu.
ton.
We have again and again called on Mr.. Corr
win, the Federal, Bank, abolition candidate for
GovernorofOhio, explain his negro votes tOthe
peopleas he addressed them. The questionat This
time is delicate ons-and in many places ex>
cites more interest than any other. The com,
ple,s union between the Wing party aud the a.
boliIionisls, the advocates Of extension Of the
privileges Of the negroes is so Palpable that no
one 10 Ohio denies il-iils admmlited BY all
and the candidate for Congress on the whig tick
ct in The Cleveland district, Is held up as wor>
iby Of especial srpport because he has aided in
stealing three hundred negroes within the last
year from Kentucky and Ohio.
The proportion Of the negroites is to give the
sunaway blacks who settle among US tie right
10 swear away the life and property Of the
whites--to open our common schools to the
black children free Of charge.-to repeal all laws
restricting their settlement among us..and the re
peal of the laws that subject those who aid in
atealins the slaves from their masters to penal

fed with oil these n1easures--ano It Gen. Harrl
son shouId succeed, 1t will be apretext for q
general disturbance amOngth the southern negroes,
by the aid Of tho a5Olitionists who will come
into power through Harrison, i becomes the
serious duty OF feyery democrat OF Ohio to say
1t the polls and that emphaiieally, whether our
great and noble stale 10 10 become the depot Of
all the runaway negroes in the land. Because
Ihey will be sure to fly TO that state which cons

privileges which must place them on a nearer

L.aboring men Of Ohio -yOu are deeply inter
ested in this matter. Already are the blacks
creeping in amongst US to an alarming extent--
already are they filing up our cities and towns,
competing with you in business, and cutting
down the profits Of your labor. We appeal to
You to say if such is not the fact in many pla-
ces. 10 some counties they are purchasing
large tacts Of land. and the settlements around
are becoming spsckled with groups Of runaway
or liberated slaves. These things are coming
home to the serious consideration ofthe citizens
of our e-.ald what must be our condition if
we elect Governor that will be the Governor

Mr.. Corwin has now been all through the
State, and refused in every place to allude to
the subect>-showing clearly that there is a Se-

to look to this thing for themselves. We lay a
string of votes before our readers, and they can
Judge for themselves. II is black expose, and
must alarm every voter in the State, when he
supposes that man should be nominated for
Governor Of Ohio, who uniformly, from 1922
to this time, has shown such propensities 10 en-
courage the negroes to settle in our State, and
extend their privileges. Read and ponder. pee
