Annexation and Canada.

Much is being said in the papers on the
subject of annexing Canadato the Union.
A declaration of grievances has been issu-
ed by upwards of three hnn1redo of the, cit
izens of Montreal and published in PAM
phlet form, recommending a dissolution OF
Canada from England, and proposing i'm
mediate annexation to the United States.
The larger number Of the sisners Of the
declaration have heretofore been known as
rank 7ories-the rest are Liberals. A
premium has also been offered for the best
written pamphlet of limited number of
pages, in favor of annexation. Again, the
Montreal Herald, which has been re yarded
as leading Tory paper, now bolds Ian
guage as follows:
"To the South of us we see people
abounding in every form of material wealth
conspicuous in every mode of intellec-
tual excellence-rapidly advancing in ev-
cry way of progress. We sigh when we
see their prosperity and our inferiorivt,
and the contrast forces us to reflect, that
different as we are, our country is truly
part of their country, and that we are sep
arated from their happines only by d.
plomatist's line drawn on the map.
We need then seek no hidden remedy
for the evils which we suffer. In the Uni
ted States we see constant prosperity; here
fitful improvement followed by reverses,
ending in state of depression, which ap-
pears to have become permanent. We
know-who doubts?--that the mere romo-
val Of the line which now separates us,
would make rs complete participa,ors in
their advantage"

there being ground of complaint, in this
particular, the laws are more stringent
against black paupers now than they have

A Word TO Young Men.

Why should young man oppose the Demo.
cratic party' 1t is the party for young men. II
Is the party of Hope, Of Progress, and of En-
thusiasm. It's creed is peculiarly the creed Of
country; and yet, not only of country, but Of
that universal and catholic principle, which ap-
plauds the freemen of all the world, and opens
the door of our Union to the oppressed and per-
secuted. The party of our opponents is, ON the
other hand the party Of retrcgrcssion, of obso-
lete usage, and of the past. Why should not the
young men act with those whose principles are
most in unison with their own impulses and
generous feelings1 Why should they not op-
pose the cold and callous policy of Federalism
and its alliesl Pennsylvanian.

VIII II Work,

Itisnota new iGel-wc have fregdeufly Thought
of it before bnt had doubts of itspractcubilfty ia
put II In operation until our last visit iothc coun-
try. While riding through the country on Sat
urday last and viewing the many beautiful farms,
the fine large houses and handsome cottage bull
dings, with now and then neat and tastely yard
in front, fashioned no doubt by some of the deli
cate hands of the GENT-ler sex, that the idea would
work. At least their cen be no harm In trying
it. The idea is this: to got the names of all the
prominent democrats in the county who are not
subscribers to the Pioneer and to whom we
would send one number of the paper as sample
hoping by that means that they will become
pertinent subscribers.
Gentlemen, we do not wish to force the Pioneer
upon you, but we do earnestly hope and pray
that you will take in consideration the importance
of sustaining your county papers. Before you
through this number aside, read t--give 1t u
careful pcrusal, then take second sober thought
and perhaps You will become subscribers. We
do not urge you to do this merely for our benefit,
true we are induced TO take this plan, from the
absolute II ccessity ofncrcasing our subscription
list and by that means to liqui,latc n debt which
we contracted IN the purchase of new type, but
we also believe that for the small amount of mo-
ncy or PRoDUcE the PIONEER will cost you in one
year, You will be amply rcmunerated by the
weekly perusal of its columns.
We do hope that all the Democratic farmers,
Mechanics &C., in Wyandot county who feel
themselves able, (and who do not?) who are not
subscribers will ut once become such, and we
will endcaver to give them paper that will not
only prove useful to them, but interesting. To
such who will not subscribe You win please re-
turn this number of the paper or get your Post
Master to inform us of your intentions; If this is
not done we shall continue to send you the pa
per and consider yoli as pcrmrncnt Subscribers.
Our terms are ONE DOLLAR AND DlFTy CENTS in
advance, or TWO DOLLARS payable within the
year; but to such as we send papers in this way
If they pay us between this and next Christmas
we shall consider them as advance PAYERS; b. if
is delayed until after that time VIC shall
come in for the tvs dollars

For the Democratic Pioneer.
TO the People Of WyandOt County.

Seeing an article in the Pioneer Of the
10th, signed George Harper, stating that
myself, W. H. Harris, w. j. Hall, Samuel
Miller and Raymond Williams, had lied on
him DC. The idea he wishes to convey is
that we stated he pledged himself individ-
ually to not be candidate for reelection
the third term. That allusion he has man
ufactured out of whole cloth and bears his
lie direct and he dare not deny it, he well
knows as does ever democrat in this county
that the understanding was every individ-
ual holding Office was to retire at the cx-
piration of two terms, and he well knows
that the arrangement was adheard to when
Sheriff Baird and j. A. Morrison were re-
nominated for the Office they then held.
well rccollect that many Of Mr.. Flack's
friends con'cnded that Mr.. Morrison having
held his Office for three years that should
be called two terms, and let him retire, and
well rccolect that no man in the county
was more busy in defeating Mr.. Flack than
he Harpcr) arguing that Mr.. Morrison had
been at much expense; building DC, and
should be lcrominatod Little did any
Democrat in the County think at that time
that the black hearted deccitful scouldral
was paving his way for a nomination
for the third term. And to get that nomi
nation went through the country and told
the leading democrats in each township
that his uncle James i. Harper had de-
clined being a candidate in his favor, know
ing at the same time that was wilful and
base lie, and no man but one that has a cul-
prit looking countenence like himself would
be guilty of such low underhanded trcach-
cry. But SO is, any scamp like himself
that has just such a down countenence that
cannot look any person for moment in
the face will sooner or later show his clo-
en- foot.
He is also aware that in this township.
where his meanness and rascality was full
" known towards James L. Harper, that
it was impossible to get all of the demo-
Gratis to vote for him and caused the great
cst kind of effort to keep the democrats of
fymochtec, Eden, and Salem together in
relation to Treasurer defy Harper or
any other man in the county to say that l
.ndeavored 10 influence any man to vote
\ sainst him after the nomigation was made.
No man presume in the county regrets

han the undersigned. When first seen
he article my inclination lead me to diff
crent course but my age and the respect l
lad for my friends forbid at present a
more harsh course than this communca-
ion. The other gentle men can take what
curse they see cause in the matter.

tlcly violating our laws discountenanced?
It would seem that that should be an i'm
perative duty.
There was also law repealed, which
required person who was about to employ
negro, to enquire if he had given bonds,
&c, and if he had certificate of freedom.
This law was so absurd that its enforcement
was impossible. A person calling at a
barber shop, for instance would find an
individual a shade darker than Tom Cor
win to attend the call. Although that in
dividual may have settled and resided in
your midst and been known to you from
infancy, yetifyou employed him tosmooth
you face, without enquiring for, and exam
ing his certificate of freedom, you by that
employment became liable to fine of mot
less than ten nor more than fifty dollars,
in any court having jurisdiction. This law
was daily openly, and knowingly violated
in every town and city in Ohio, and it
should have been repealed years ago. |
considered it a disgrace to the intelligence
of the people Of Ohio.
Upon no part Of the law repealed, has
there been a greater effort to create spreju-
dice than the testomony clause, and the
horrible consequences have been depicted,
as the inevitable result of that repeal. |
was not alarmed in the least at there mis-
representations, for my confident belief that
the ultimate judgement of my fellow citi-
zens would be correct upon this subject,
fortified me against every fear. Nine
months have already elaspcd since that re-
peal; and have yet to hear of any indi-
vidual who has suffered injustice or been
deprived of his rights, because truth has
been told jury by an individual ofa com
plexion somewhat different from a portion
portion Of the inhabitants of the earth.
But if these bad results are to how upon
us, why is it that in New York, Pcnnsyl-
vana. Rhode Island, Connecticut and Mas
sachusetts, where no such law ever had an
existence, these calamities have not been
experienced. And why is it, that in no free
State in the Union, except Ohio, did there
exist any law prohibiting a negro from tcs-
tifying in court of Justice? 1t appears to
me the apprehcnded dangers are more i'm
aginarv than real-for we have the actual
experience Of fourteen free State to confront
what? the fears and prejudiccs of some
ofthe people of this State. Can it be sup
posed that if in the experience of other
States, it had been ascertained that the
truth, when uttered under oath by per-
son whose color was not of refined white
ness, that the administration ofiustice was
obstructed that those States would not have
Immediately applied the legal remedy, and
prohibited a jury from receiving such tes-
tmony? Most certainly, sclfpreservation
would have instantly prompted them to
this step.

Again: look at the inconsistency of snch
laws Heretofore, white man might
commit robbery upon his white neighbor
if anegro were the witness of that robbery
his testimony could not have been received;
but if the same white man committed his
robbery upon negro; and white man
were an eye witness to the villainy, the ne
gro colll use the white man in court and
rccovcay his propcrty-whilst the white
man could not summon the negro, and
therefore he must remain the victim ofthe
rascality. What reason or common sense
is there in such law?
Our courts were heretofore, and are now,
open to redress the grievances ola negro.
Your courts will secure negro his title to
land as firmly as that ofa white man. IfI
a black man has been murdered, your
courts have punished the murderer; if he
has had taxes to pay, you have collected
thems why, then, whilst these things you
regard him as a thinking, rational being,
shall he not be permitted to subscrve the
cause of truth, ,Fand the administration of
justice, by his testimony bearing upon any
with the barrier of an enlight-
ed jury to guard his evil passions or un-
truth, should he attempt to display either?
