Fcr the Democratic sentinel
Love for the Negro North and south
---NcErO E0uaIifV

FRIEYD ALLES:--l have been close obser-
Yer Of matters AMI things for some time past
and have been resident Of Harrison County a
great many years Although | am no public
speaker and not much Of writer; but ! am a
Democrat in the fullest sense Of the term, and
| glory in the name 1t does not take an Ar
gus eye to discover the hypOcricy of Abolition =
lists and black republicans; | have saw enough
to convince me or any reasonable man, that
their pretended love for the negro is all shlm;
they love him hundreds Of miles off, where
distance lends enchantment to the view" they
cOnjure him up in their feyered imaginations, as
a down trodden and oppressed brother, (Heaven
save the mark;) but when brought among them
where they have a chance 10 show a little pIac-
I tical love, what change comes over them, they
then see what he is, and oppress him as much
or even more than does the stakeholder in the
South; this Is fact to which all are witnesses
Now, sir, here iSan instance of Southern love
and Northern love for the race widow lady
of Virginia, thought proper, some years ago, to
emancipate her slaves, and did so, and sent
them TO Ohio, where she bought them one hun
dred acres ofgood land in this county, near the
village Of New Market in North township, fur
nishing them with horses, farming Implements,
and everything necessary to carry on agricul-
ture, together with supply of provisions suf-
iicient to last them good length of time, and
money enough to give them a fair start. But
what was the consequence when left to take
care Of themselves? why, sir, the men finding
their wants provided for the present, and not
being compelled to work, they followed their ma
tural bent, and would not work, and in fact did
nothing but lay around and swll whiskey
which they procured with that money which
was given to them.
| The women did somewhat better, and follow
ed washing for living for the white families
about the neighborhood, and, it is a fact. that
the very ones who shrieked the loudest for them
j before they were free, treated them the hardest
after they had their freedom; and have often
heard them declare that they did not want to
work for the cursed Aboltionists Gas they called
them,) as they always paid them with old bones
upon which there was no meat old clothes,
musty bread, or something of no account, but
never any money, declaring they were the hard
est task masters they ever had, and Ohio the
hardest place to live in they had ever tried, and
that they would rather thousand times
be back in cole Nirgny" with the 50 called
slave drivers.
And now they have all gone to destruction,
some in the county Jail for stealing something
to eat some in the poor house. some starved to
death, and all degraded far below their former
station in the South, and we must all acknowl-
edre that thier calamities We're brought about
bj "recdom shriekS,' and a. oil ion loOe for them.
But for the purpose Of giving the negro equal
ity, and thus build up the republican party, the
whole gang from Chase down to Johnny Bar
gar, the smallest point of the tail eead, love to
standon the corners 0 the streets Pharisee like,
and howl on negro wrongs on the same pIinci-
pie, that the thief himself hollowS thief" loud
est
The Sentinel is very popular in this region,
by both parties, as have heard republicans say
it could be relied on more surely for facts than
any other paper published in the county. That
trick Of Hatton with regard to the Clerk of the
Court, jerrymandering r. Lyons out ofthe nom
ination, has brought down upon his head the
dispeasure of great many OF his party here,
and he is becoming worse and worse in their
estimation.
| We are all very we'll pleased with our county
ticket, and five have as good State ticket, as
this is comfy one, we can 60 into the contest
with the belief that we willard the firm de-
! termination to conquer
