history of the past three years will amply
sustain us ia this assertion.
The Wing party Of Ohio had for years been
largely in favor Of the repeal of the Black
Laws, and were no,oriously anli.slavery in
their sen,imen's--,he Locoloco party on
lhe contrary, were rabid negro ha,ers, and
denounced abo,ionis,s with vehemence

Another reason is, 'ha, the party. as rule
