Negro Suffrage-the Democratic
party on the record in its favor.

Mr.. EDIToR-As in campaigns that are
past, so in the present, the Federal party
(selfstyled Democra,ic) endeavors 10 shirk
the actual questions before the people, and
get up sham issues, issues that have no ex-
istance except in the diseased imagiDatons
of anxious pathouse politicians. Among
these imaginary issues we class the one
already sprung in this campaign: Negro
Suffrage

dogn--down to its Belmont County echoes
harp upon the same string, the same tune
Negro Suffrage 1t is asserted that the
only issue TO be decided in the approaching
canvass is whether or not negroes shall be
permitted to vote. the Federal party takes
the negative of this question, and--nolens
rolens--they assign the Republican party
the affirmative. So matters at present stand
but is this the true state of the case, Far from
! it. ANY man with the least spark of
When and where did the Republicans
ever attempt to SO change our present laws
as TO allow negroes the right o: sutfrage!-
Search the record, Capt. Hea,on: let us
have the facts! 1t is ,unquestionably true
that Mr.. Monroe, a member of the last
Ohio Legislature, made motion to submit
to the people of Ohio proposition to allow
negroes the right OF Suffrage. Now if, as
is asserted, the Republican party are in
ayor of this measure, OF course 1t would
have prevailed; but the facts show that 1t
received lust no poteS at ali. This is the
ouIy time the Republicans OF Ohio have
eyer placed themselves on record on this
question.
How is il, on the other hand, with the
Federal party! A few years, ard but
lew vears since, in Is. 8 believe, con-
ventIon was called in the then Democratic
State of Massachusetts to frame a new
constitution, and gel rid Of the Objectionable
FEATURES in the old. In that convention the

and it still permits negroes to uoEe. Here

THE MISSION OF THE PHILAN
THROPHIST.

Napoleon the Nephew like Napoleon tn,
Uncle, believes that he has great mission
to fulfil and that his life is in no peril until
it is accomplished. But of how little mpor
lance TO the W prd is the mission of an En-.
peror, when compared with that of u philun.
throphist like Holloway. He indeed with
out impropriety perhaps, might be supposed
to be under The protection OF a special prov.
idence, Tor his missien is to rviye the sick
to soothe bodily anguish to save human life;
these are The deeds of benefcence and love
and mercy. From all quarters we hear the
mrst astounding cures accomplished by his
inestimable Pills and Ointment. To the
former of these remedies all diseases OF the
skin, the muscles, and the glands, seem To
yield like morning misis before the sun. The
Pills put to the rDut Indigestion, liver COM
plant, uEc disorders OF the bowels with equal
certainty. Our national disease dyspep-
sia, is in peril OF annihilatIon, and we have
seen enough to feel assured that whenever
Holloway's Pills are universally administer
ed for this distressing complaint, it will be
inevitably expelled from socie;v.' Every
day confirms the opinion we have heretofore
expressed, that Holloway's medicines are
the only preparations in existence that ope-
rate directly upon the sources of disease and
