Some Of the Slave Democratic presses

san spite refuse 10 publish fhe EnsH9sral Ness
aoe Of Coz. Chase. tits customary, as the
reader knows, for all papers, OF all parties,
to publish all the Messages OF Executive
officers. But the spite, the hate, the bitter
ness, the contemplate meanness OF Slavery,
dictates a different course. Besides the
Sentinel and other Slavery papers, are un-
willing 10 let the statesmanlike views, the
patriotic principles, the unanswerable ar
guments OF the Inaugeral appear in their
columns, to condemn and blast them.-Por-
fage Democrat. +
We are not AFRAID to publish Gov. Chase's
Inadgeral Message; but ON the contrary
could wish that every Democrat in Portage
might read it thoroughly. Chase is dems-
gOuge who uspires to the presidency and dem
agogueism is 50 apparent in his Message as
to become disgusting. Every sensible man
who has read it, must be Of this opinion
The Message advocates an old and exploded
system Of banking-condemn the new Con-
stitution (when it is we'll known that Chase
in 1861 lnbored for its adoption) and closes
up with re-hnsh of his old Senate Speeches
upon Slavery. 1t is only interesting as a
specimen of political depravity. Notwith-
standing this, it has been our intention to
publish it. Our readers we doubt NOT are
tired of Messages by this time. As soon
as they get little rested we propose to
give them the lnaugeral Address ofth Gov
ernor.
By way of comment we will here give the
opinion of the New Lisbon Aurora, the old
est anti-slavery paper in Ohio. Itsays:
"The first part of Mr.. Chase's inaugeral
is rather Of general, Introductory charac-
ter, at least it is not printed in this paper
In discussing matters Of State policy he
takes the old Wing position more banks,
annual sessions, &c. This looks like GO
ing backward, or at least more conservative
than reformatory. Mr.. Chase, il some his
torians are not wrong, stumped it for the
new Constitution, and now it looks incon-
sistent for him to be On the other side. His
remarks on slavery are all right as far as
they go; but like the 'locofocos,' whose
doctrine he SO much repudates, he admits
that slavery may exist in this county
The slayeocruts are always at that, and just
as eternally 'yawmping' about this being a
free country.
"Mr. Ford thought he must do like Mr..
Chase, and has announced small k0 in.

An Attempt TO DisfranChiZe For
ciZMerS.

A bill has been introduced into the Ohio
Legislature, to prohibit our State Courts
from natur0lising foreigners. This is in
keeping with the character of the body in
which the measure originates. The fusion
members of our present Assembly were
most of them elected through the agency
of "dark lantern" societies. Their creed
is therefore proscriptiYe and tyranhical.-
Massachusetts, Maine. Connecticut and
Vermont, last winter. each enacted laws
oppressive Of, and prejudicial to the foreign
population. By SO doing, they rendered
themselves infamous in the estimation of
the whole country--they stained the chur.
acter of the people Of New England, disre-
garded the spirit and letter of the Consti-
tuition, and heaped insult and injury upon
all naturalized citizens. Now, under the
reign of Black Republicans, those men who
have set themselves up us models of purity
and wisdom, who profess to be such ardent
friends of suffering humanity, we find Q
similar attempt to blncken and disgrace the
people of Ohio. We have not the leas
idea that the bill thus introduced can eve
become law. Infamous as are many o
the present legislators of the State, the!
would not dare insult the intelligence an

congress OFR1nkZed-The Fusion
farce over Banks elected
Speaker.
After two months have passed, and a.
bout 100000 has been expended, the Black
Republicans of Congress have succeeded
in effectipg an organization. This was ac-
complisaed finally by adopting the plural.
~ rule. Why was it not done the first
week of the session, instead of the ninth!
The fusion party in the House had the
whole power. Their majority was over
whelming; then why have they quarreled SO
,!eng over the question as to who should
get SIG per day. The election of BANKS
is regarded as victory by his party. In
our opinion il is dear one. He was former
.H "a free trade Democrat and voted for
Pierce and the Compromise measures in
1852. This being the case, the whig and
free sod sides of the House will get but
little consolation.
So far, during the session, the opposition
have by their delay, wrangles and quarrels,
shown their incompetency and worthless
ness, and now that fhey have the speaker we
think they may do still more, for the injury
of the country, and the injury of their
cause. 1t will be hard for them 20 unite
upon any great public measure. Southern
and Northern Know Nothings will quarrel
with each other. Free Soilers and old line
wings can never agree; their policy and
principles are utterly at variance. Person
oil aggrandizement being leading motive
to action, each one will be jealous of his
neighbor, and thus diseord almost as dis
graceful as that which for two months has
presided over their counsels, will continue
to rule the movements of the House. From
thescene of confusion, and disgrace, present
ed by the Black Republicans in Congress
weturn with pleasure and pride to the course
pursued by the Democratic members. They
were in small minority, and Of their own
strength. could do nothing; yet from the be.
ginning 10 the end Of the contest, they have
stood true to their principles, repudiatiBg all
attempts to compromise, bargain, or fuse
with any of the discordant factions. On
the first day of their session, they adopted
their platform, selected their candidate, and
stood by him for weeks. These was no hes.
itancy or faltering in their course. After
!. RICHARDSON, willing to remove even asuspi-
e6ion, that he stood in the way of an organi'
szstlsn, withdrew his name, the Democrats
only reaffirmed their resolutions, selec ted
another candidate OF similar sentiments
and gave him their steady support until his
name was also Withdrawn. AIKEN another
.stauneh democrat then became their leader,
and whensat last under the plurality rule,
BaHKs was declared elected, though widely
differing in sentiment, they came forward
with Eankuess and ware the first to ac-
sknowiedge his Authority as speaker.
Such strict adherance to principle and
vet at the same time such courtesy and hon.
.orabie bearing towards their opponents, ha'
Justly earned for them the admiration of al
shonest and candid men throughout th'
ScoEntry. The seyenty-four Democratic
members Of the House are true and trie'
men, and their manly conduct should b,
