TIsE NEGRO In OHIO.

The people of Ohio, instead of both
ering themselves about the introduction
ofnegroes into the Territories, had bet
ter wake up. to a consciousness that
the introduction of the regroes into their
State may become burdenseme. The
principle is asserted by Black Republi,
alton of Independence, which they say
included them with other citi=ehs down
to the present, negro has been entitled
to the same right and privileges with
the white man, and is entitled to the
right of suffrage and every other right
which the white man is permitted to cx-
%ercisc. ..f: ...-.
We have been checked by the rcadi-
ness with which the effort to falsity the
Designation ofIndependence has been
echoed by men who a few years ago
looked on the ab~olitionsparty as a fana-
ticaEorganization, and who have been
ledinto an unnatural connection by false
lights L as false as that which would
confer equality with the white man up
on the negro.
We cannot believe that the people of
Ohio are ready to sacrifice their rights,
their political and social privileges at
the shrine of fanaticism and a false phil
anthrophy. While we would and ought
to protect the negro in the privileges
they have granted to him, they should
rebuko his insolence and keep him in
his prope sphere. -l--z
What does NEGRO equality mean,
when it is contcnded that the negro is
entitled to the right of suffrage and all
the rights enjoyed by the rest of man
kind? There is a neaninginit that
sends a thrill of horror through the
breasts of all who look to the happiness
of future generations; and the prosper
ity of the country. It has been the
Anglo-Saxon boast, the distinction be-
tween the two races was preserved and
the perfection of government enjoyed,
where Anglo-Saxon rule regulated the
country. The difference between this
country and the States colonized by
Spain, where the victors incorporated
themselves with the inferior race has
been dwelt upon by statesmen, It was
hallowed by the discriminating mind
and ~eloquence of Webster himself. 1t.
cannot be calmly contemplated. No
treachery can be greater to the fame of
our fathers than to impute to them
any such intention for the accomplish
ment of their Observation-Disclosures.
