TURN OUT!
By order OF tERe
DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

The Conspiracy COmfeSSed!---The
Know NOthlugs 10 have The OHIO
Legislature. --Ehc Foreigner to
he DisfIanciliSed undt the Negro
Observation-Disclosures, EeWaTG!
At the State Council of Know Moth
inss held at COLUMBUS on the 9th Of
August, the following resolutions were
adopted. We find them in the official
proceedings, as published in the State
Journal.
LIST. Rcsolrsd, That under existing
c!rcum stances we deem il ineXpedient
to nominate IA State ticket for the ap.
preaching ele ction. but leave the matter
for each member Of The Order to vote as
lis conscience and judgement may die
tate.
2l. ResOlued, That we recommend to
the members Of the Order, throughout
the Stsle, TO keep up and perfect Iheir
organizations, and to press forward IN
the great work nf AmeTicpni2ing Amer
lea by securing the nomination and cleo
ton, in their respective counties ,'cr the
State Lsgislature,of men who WI!l stand
open an'l endorse the platform OF tie
mercan party in Ohio.
They resolved not to nominate a cam
didate for Governor, but privately de-
termined to support Mr. Chase-and we
are informed that DR.. Morton, of this
city, has Stated that he advised the
councils to acquiesce in the support OF
the Fusion nominee! An open nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Chase by this secret cabOi.
would have injured his prospects among
large number Of voteIs.therefore their
determination to support him is to be
kept profound secret until after the
election.
Bot the great morement Of the day
their grand proscriptive scheme the
coup de maia-is developed in the Sea-
ond resolution. They recommend the
members Of the order to keep up aud
pc erlect the organiGation-and to secure
the nomination of candidates to the
Legislature, who will stand upon and
endorse the platform Of the American
party? What that platform is, will be
seen by reference 10 the Cleveland Con-
vention, which declared that loreigh-
ner must remain in this country TW EN-
TY. ONE YEARS before he could be ed
mitted to enjoy the rights and privileges
of citizen! This 10 what the Legisla-
ture # Mas chuse:ts, (the only hpow
Nothing Legislature that has yet had an
opportunity to show its hand)-did,
only it does not go that far. In Mass
uchusetts, they agreed that no foreigner
should hold an Office in that State and
that none should even vote, until they
had lived 9l years IN this country -
Aud more and worse than all this, they
passed law admitting negroes to the
rights of citizenship! The object then
of the resolutions above quoted, Is TO
secure a Legislature which will DIS
franchise the foreigner and Es franchise
the negro!
The people .of Ohio should not look
lightly upon these things. A more for
mida BILE and dangerous combina tion
against the equal rights OF the people,
and SO trample upon the spirit and let
ter Of the great character OF American
liberty. was never before entered into.
Its real designs and operation are Gov
cred by the vel Of secrecy, and protect
ed by osihs Of the most horrid NATURE
But enough has been disclosed TO devei-
ope its dangerous tendencies, and Iyran-
nical desires-snd the PEOPLE, with
out distinction of party. should rise up
and put it down! We shall recur
to this subject sgain.-SanduSky Mir
