turned. He has shown himself true to the
interests Of the North, and in all matters Of
truly national character, he hss-'yiyer evi-

JUDGES. More than all that, we should keep
our men in Congress longer. 1t is all folly
to expec, man to'do anything there in one
term. l, takes long time to become ac-
auainted with the nature of business, and un-
Ill he does become acquainted he is absolute
ly powerless. We must keep men in Con-
grsss "during good behavior" and not cast
them off at the end of one term. There the
South has .he advantage of us, and we might
learn from her useful lesson. H..

Mr.. CowEN SIR:-,
have this morning received your pa

that expressed an opinion in favor of slav-

made tina, reception speech at Westport, to 4
mixed company of citizens Of Kansas and
Missouri, but in the few remarks | made
on that occasion did not discuss in any
shape or form the subject Of slavery, nor did
express any opinion in reference to the sub
ject Of slavery, in o. out of Kansas. Nor
have in any speech that have made since
arrived in this country, uttered one word
on that subject. The speech at,ribu led to
me at Westport, and which has been going
the rounds OF the papers, lin the states is a base

conflict with the constitution of the United
States or the laws Of Congress, and were

them my rule of action--that had nothing
to do with the expediency or inexpediency Of

Below we present to the readers Of the
Chronicle an article from that sterling paper
the Ohio State Journal. This paper deser-
yes patronage, and the people of Ohio should
take and read it. We, the voters, should
secure to our selves tn means Of correct in
formation upon those subjects in which we
have a deep interest, we should read and re-
fleet upon passing political events as they
occur, SO that we msy be prepared TO act
with intelligence when the day for voting
comes.
The Journal is a State organ. 1t is true
10 our interests, It is conducted with signal
sbility, and is one of the most reliable papers
in Ohio, could such papers be gensrally read,
we should soon get rid of our greatest po.
liticsl evils.
The Cleveland Herald one of our Oldest
sblest and most efficient papers says:
Other papers speak in equally commsn-
da:ory language Of the Journal and its efici-
ent and valuable services.

To-day closes our contract with the cam.
paign subscribers Of the Dily and Tri-

to say few words to them. We have la
bored necessarily to make our paper sccepts-
BILE to you, and to advance the great cause of
genuine RepuSlicanism in Ohio. We Hattsr
ours elves that we have not laboIed in vain.
The signal triumph which we have achieved
10 a matter Of congratulation to all the lovers
Of Liberty and Of State Reform. We have
elected our entire Republican State ticket,
We have elected more than two.thirds of
the house, and 6ve-six,hs OF the Senate. In
short, our triumph has been complete and
overwhelming. ...r5 yt...'.

Reading Prerequisite to Voting.

On Monday Of last week the People of
Connecticut were required 10 express their
opinions at the polls upon the adoption of
the following proposition as an amend nent
to the Constitution Of that State. viz:
"That every person shall be able to read
any article of tie Constitution, or any. sec
ton of the statutes 0f the State, before be-
ing admitted as an elector."
The resul: of the vote Is thus announced
by the New Haven Palladium: -.
"There can be no easonabe doubt that
the proposed amendment to the Constitution
Of this State, requiring that no person shall
hence forth be ade an elector OF this State
unless he can read, has been adopted by an
overwhelming majority Of the people.
"This is a glorious result, indeed, but one
that ought to have been looked for in 30 in
telligent State as Connecticut. The con-
stitntion would never have been adopted
without such a clause if it had been supposed
possible that any considerable number Of
persons could ever be found SO destitute Of
the knowledge OF a spelling. book as to be
unable to read the ballot they intend to use.
But this class os persons has been rapidly in
crsasing Of late years, and the necestsy of
such q measure OF protection as that just
adopted has been more and more apparent.-
1t was measure SO reasonable and so just,
as well as so necessary, that it seemed as IL
no man having any self-respect or regard for
the welfare OF the State could be induced to
take open ground against it. But such oP.
position did appear, and it assumed form
most reprehensible, AZ it misrepresentsd the
facts and appealed TO the lowest prejudices of
the ignorant to defeat the measure. Thanks
however. to the intelligent, patriotic people
for their noble efforts to save the State from
the power of unscrupulous parsisans and
their ignorant dupes! Especial thanks are
due to the conservative portion of the Demo-
cratic party. Tae vote on ithe amendment
shows that there are some things which the
leaders cannot be allowed to do without at
least qaiet rebuke. Such a rebuke they
have received all over the State.
"lf Republican Government is the ex-i
preston Of the peoples will, then this con-
stitutiUnsl amendment is right; for without
i our laws would ohy express the will OF a
few leaders, who give effect to their purposes
BY leading up to the polls those who are as
incapable o! judging upon the men and me-
asures voted ior ss little children. Such .
Government, though republican in name, is
in reality one Of the worst kinds OF an aris-
tocracy; for it has neither the property nor
the talent OF most OF The aristocracies Of 9TH.
er days and countries to check it's rapscity or
make it tolerabie.
"The hostility to tho measure was most
indefatgable and inveterate; but all in vain.
Connecticut has nobly acquitted herself on
this great issue. The amendment cannot be
repealed except in the way it was adopted
that is. it must be approved by one Legisla-
ture and two-thirds, Of each House OF tho
next succeeding, and then by majority OF
the votes of the people. This will not be-
done in great while, probably never"
