The sizth section requires the separate submis-
sion of this act to the people" exclusion and
colonization Of negroes and muattoes-aye or
no )" passed, So yeas to 81 nays
These provisions are fine comment upon the
high professions Of the Democracy Of our day,
party loud on their opposition 10 monopolies and
exclusive privileges, and the peculiar advocates Of
the rights Of the poor, the working. men, the
"hard-fsted farmer" and the progressive doc.
trines, Of which we hear so much from their
organs
These provisions are disgrace to the men who
passed them and more worthy Of the dark ages
than Of the middle Of the 10Th century. The pro-
vision for the colonization Of the blacks is in per-
feet keeping with the rest and in accordance with
the views of Governor Wright, and the COLOMBIA
tionists generally 1t is laid down as an axiom
that the two races cannot live together in peaceit
is contrary to the laws Of nature of social fe &c
all our prejudices-every kind of disability il
heaped upon the unfortunate blacks-and then
out of compassion TO them, as the only alternative
left we are to thrust them out of the country
whether they like il or not. The only symptom
of fairness or Justice in these proceedings the
vote to leave this question TO the people Whatever
the result of the popular vote may be, as sure as
that justice shall finally prevail, every enactment
of this kind, however the wrong may for moment
triumph, will in a few years be swept from the
statute books of every State by the advancing civ
ilzation and true Democracy and Christianity of
the age We have yet TO see whether these pro-
visions of the Indiana Convention shock the feel.
ings or meet with any denunciation from those
! pous and orthodox clergymen who hailed with
so much satisfaction the rejection of Owen and
Petit, and the election of Mr.. Bright to the
United States Senate, as an evidence Of the intel
ligence and reverence for religion prevailing
among the people.
The pork season in the West, at most Of the

packed at upwards Of sixty places in Ohio ant

falling off, when compared with the numbers
