Are they ready to vote for man to the |
highest office in the State that will urge ,
he passage of laws. allowing negroes to
give testimony in courts ofjustce, against
white men. and finally allow them TO be
heard at the ballot boxes2 Are they will
ling to make the State of Ohio an asylum
for thousands of the broken down slaves
of the South, and hordes of niggers from
the free States, to fill our State with idle
ness and crime.
Are the freemen of this county ready
for this state of thngs-are they ready
to be placed on level with the blacks in
their political rigbts-are they ready to
share with them their hearths and homes;
are they ready to compete with them in
their daily occupalionl fthey are not,
let them awake and nip these things in
the bud
From the Ohio Eagle. September 18th. 1s46.
The "back laws" keep the colored
population of the State within reasonable
bounds, orderly, and peacable. Repeal
the black laws, give to colored persons
the ightt to testify in all cases and to flock
by thousands into the State, whatever
their character, and what wiH f0llow2
We shall be cursed with large increase
Of this race, and Of the most worthless
character t0o-feuds and difficulties be-
tween whites aud blacks will be of con
slant occurrance. and the "black laws"
repealed, the negroes of Ohio will begin
to clamor for the rights of citizenship
to UOte.--tO Sit on juries; and 10 hold office.
