NThere is but little if any differ
ence in the four candidates now before
the people for Representative, and if
there is any it is in favor of John N.
Clark. Gen. House, the old sachem, as
he is called, is a fine man and good
citizen, but then we have had too many
of these old sachems the past few years
in the Ohio Legislature. DIR. Morgan
is very good physician, has a good
practice and is useful man at home
where he will remain. He is fiery
Democrat and would vote for Bill Allen
or some other bowling Locofoco for U.
s. Senator--as also would the old
Sachem, Gen. House. Alex. Logue
we all know-he has linked himself
with the Freesoil faction--served one
term as Representative, shed but little
light, and if elected, would support
Benz. F. Wade or Salmon P. Chase, the
leading abolitionists of Ohio, for United
States Senator-he will get but slim
vote. JOHN N. CLARK is whig, has
always advocated Wing measures, is
the BEST man of the lot--a practical
farmer, and as familiar with the wants
of Gallia county as any man in it,.
Moreover he will vote right for United
States Senator. Republicans of Gallia
county, support JOHN N. CLARK, and
defeat the treasury eaters"

of his sentiments upon several impor-
tant questions. We viii commence

KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
THAT CHASE WOULD GIVE NEGROES
EQUAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES WITH
WHITE MEN.
In opposing Colonization, Mr.. Chase
said: "Let al classes of our population,
of whatever complexion and of what
ever origin be dealt with upon the SIM
pie principles of right of Justice and of
humanity. Give every man fair and
equal chance upon the arena of human
effort, DC.
Here is an appeal to the Senate in
opposition TO the Colonization Of our
free Negroes, and in favor Of retaining
them in our midst. and placing them
upon an equality with white men. This
cannot be done without extending to
him the right to vote, the right to sit
on iuries, and the right to hold Office.
Freemen of Ohio are you prepared for
this? If you are vote for Chase, wool
and all. But let no man deny again
that Chase is an abolitionist of the
Jlackest kind. He not only proposes to
give the negro liberty. but equality in
all respects with you. Remember this
too at the ballot box.-Zdnesville Wing.

Chase IN faror Of Negro suffrage.

Chase IN fapor Of Negro suffrage.
'I embrace with pleasure this oppor-
tunity of declaring my disspprobation
of that clause in the Constitution which
denies to portion of the colored peo-
pie the right Of suffrage. True De-
mocracy makes no inquiry about the
color Of the skin or the place of natiYi-
ty, or any other similar circumstance Of
condition. Whenever it sees man, it
recognizes being endowed by his Crea-
tor with original inalienable rights. In
communities of men it recognises no
distinction founded on mere arbitrary
will. Iregard, therefore, the exclusion
of the colored people, as body, from
the elective Franchise as incompatible
with the democratic principles. / am
aware that this exclusion is effected by
a constitutional provision and propose
no action against the Constitution
But whenever convention shall be
called to revise the instrument, / trust
this anti-ssfrage restriction will be
erased. 1t is in fact, already as ridicu-
lous in practice as it is wrong in theory"
From page 99 of apamphlet gotten out
under the auspices of Chase, which
contained his speech in reply to the ne
groes of Cincinnati, who presented him
on the 9th of May, 1855, with silver
pitcher, at the Baker street Church.

"The exclusion of eolored children

by the clerical aspirants themselves. But their
suggestions are made to friends aud those
friends do the disagreeable aud unseemly work.
Now what is it that these clergymen want? 1t
is simply the pay from the Government and the
distinction Of being Chaplains to Congress. If
they only wanted TO pray for Congress they
would do SO privately and without pay.
In our humble opinion perhaps we may ex.
press it in language too gross--this whole sys-
tenn is a humbug; it is more than a humbug;
it is corrupt and corrupting.
We will go further. We believe that the
only consideration that induces the two Houses
Of Congress to elect Chaplains is the fear that
their constituents will think them wanting in
respect for religion. We will frankly tell such
members that they would better manifest their
respect for religion by not having, than by
having Chaplains. If we were infdels, and
desired to bring religion into disrepute, we
would be in favor Of electing Chaplains to Con-
gress.
We do not believe in that sanctimonious air,
and those formal prayers that are paid for, in
gold, by the Government. Here we except
Chaplains to the Navy, and the reasons for the
exception are so manifest that it is needless to
state them.
We will conclude by expressing the hope
that no more Chaplains to Congress will be
elected. If they should be elected, and they
should belong to that sanity band-the three
thousand and sixty-Gve anti Nebraska parsons,
then, perhaps, such an election would be more
potent against the system than any argument
that we can offer. In word, we would not
have religion, and the ministers Of religion, in.
fected with the taint ofpolitics. We reverence
both too highly.

the sick headache, which has been recently yofered
the public is attracting great attention. only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many

no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his ''rem-
