tho most scrvile fawncr that ever bowed his
neck or bent his knee to despot dIo
came among us with some reputation for
independence. In his innocence or igno-
rance he had taken the side of question
to which his owners were opposed, and had
gone so far that he could not back out in
one week; therefore was kicked out. He
muttered threats Of vengeance-and thus
}gaincd his reputation for Independence
Bat, lol change came over his "feelnks"
when he found that his bread and butter de-
pended on his backing down from his high
position. He came down easily if not very
gracefully, and in few short months sup
ported for office the man whom most he
had threatened in the hour Of his anger. It
would have made an elephant smile to see
the devices resorted to, and contortions
made to draw attention from himself. We
will, for the present. pass over his career
since he advocated the election of Breslu to
the Treasurer's Office, and see phat he is
aosc--if anything.
We now find him working shoulder to
shoulder with the Messenger, which he called
sore head and moon shine concern gotten
up by clique bound to rule or ruin. He
is as mum now as whipped spaniel. He
does not threaten it any more, but has, ap-
parently, concluded TO make the most of his
situation, and now follows in the Messengers
wake, reiterating lies tho Messenger wore
threadbare last fall. We select few par
agraphs from one article in bis last weeks
paper;
Mr, Chase Is in favor ofplacng the negro upon polit
ca equality with the white mana doctrine which II sue
cessfu would soon flood Ohio with the coored race"
Every intelligent reader knows that the
above sentence misreprcsents Gov. Chase's
views. Chase believes that negro has just
as much right to bis freedom, as has the
editor of the Democrat, and that he ought
to be permitted to live with his family, ac-
|quire property, and enjoy the protection of
the laws of the State where he resides
Further than this, he does not wish to place
them on an equality with the whites. And
as several Of the States have reduced the
negroes to slavery, Mr.. Chase says we have
no rightto interfere with slavery where it
exists, but that it is our duty to oppose
its extension into any moro FREQ States or
Territories. Wherein does the editor of
the Democrat differ with Mr.. Chase in the
above? But hear the Democrat further:
The Kansas question is exhausted and the issue now
presented is not whether slavery freedom shall be
tended but whether the black shall be made politi
caly equal with the whites in Ohio"
The sapient editor admits that there was
a question of slavery and freedom extension
Will he kind enough to inform bis readers
which side of the question his party took
In his endeavors to extricate himself he re-
sorts to the vilest of expedients. There isa
lstudiod endeavor to force an issue before the
people that no republican ever dreamed of
makingG The reason for doing this is OBJ
vious. The attention of the people must be
drawn from the true issues, or that talisman-
ic word, democracy, will lose its power
The attention Of voters must be drawn from
the enormous plunderiugs of the State by
that party, or the county patronage will be
lost, and then the democratic papers Of this
county will prey upon each other But hear
the thing further:
"The next step we suppose, will be amsgamation and
the abolition Of all social distinctions for political equa
ty naturally leads to the latter"
That almost out Botefurs Boteflr; the
only difference between Botefur and Flaugh-
er being, the former charges the republican
party with already advocating these doc
trines, and the latter that the nert step they
take will be in their favor. Great is hum
buggery! Again says the Democrat:
Thousands ofvoters have heretofore gone with the
Republican party in its opposition to slavery extension
may safely be said are not prepared to endorse this
1t innocently sets up a new doctrine for
the republican party, and then triumphant
I ly exclaims that thousands of republicans
won't go it. Shouldn't wonder! But we
have seen no republicans that do not in
tend to vote the republican ticket, this fall,
from top to bottom; and slight sprink-
ling of true democrats have also signifed
their intention Of voting with us. The edi-
tor of the Democrat would do well to pro
cure the remnant of last years edition Of
-Ayer's almanac and issue instead of his
paper; as n political document it far sur.
passes the Democrat.
