himself to the matters that are at issue
in tho coming election. The people are
heartily sick aud tired of this eternal
cant about niggers and slavery! Free

poses to introduce slavery, unless it is
the Black Republicans themselves
There are matters nearer home, and
of more interest to the people of Ohio,
than the condition of the Southern ne
groes, which should receive more than
a passing notice from your hands, and
the voters of this county look for you
to speak of them. Do so.

Facts which we intend to Keep
Refnre the PeODIc.

1st. That the Republican party was
organized as an opposition to the great
fun damental principle of the Constitu-
ton, and, basis of all free institutions
popular Sovereignty"
I'd. That the miserable existence of
the Republican party has been thus far
prolonged by the unnatural, intestine of
Kansas, melted and nourished by Re-
publican leaders for party ends.
Sd. That the history of the Republi-
can party is a record of treason, anarchy
and revolution; that the Constitution is
set at naught, and sister States at var
lance with each other.
4th. That the Republican party en-
deavored to stop the wheels of govern
ment and paralyze every department of
State by refusing to pass the general ap-
probation bills.
9Th. That the Republicans have used
every exertion to make Kansas a Slave
State for the purpose of procuring CAPT

preaching campaign.
9th. hat the Republican candidate
for governor always makes a mental re-
servation when he takes an oath to sup
port the Constitution.

dispensing with the paymento of the pub
lie debt, and yet our taxes are the same.
6th. That the Republicans introduced
a bill into the Ohio Legislature asking
to have the word "white' struck from
the Constitution, thus placing the negro
on a level with the white man. Also a
bill to compel the foreigner to go to the

cans and the report Of the Republican
Committees, a Republican Treasurer has
swindled the State out OF half a million

We take the following from the Cleve-

good Democrat, and ~ofcourse, imam who
works all day and sleeps all night, has a

ables for his house. One ofhis pumpkin

the other day and put off up the Lake
Shore Road. Winslow says he under

ded to come home and let itrun. Payne

RreSain and his confidential
chumS and Advisors

1t appears from Sparrow's Treasury
Defalcation report, that two of the ed
itors of the Ohio State journal (Schouler
and Follett,) have turned States evidence
against Breslin, and divulged what they
pretend to have learned from him
whilst in his confidence. Such evidence
is always to be received with many
grains of allowance it may be true, or
it may be false-the latter quite as likely
as the former. The fact however, that
these leading republican editors have oc-
cupied a confidential relation to Breslin,
will doubtless astonish democrats who
have never. seen behind the curtain
which conceals the true state of feeling
that exists between a band of bold, I'M
scrupulous, plundering schemers made
up of men of all parties. During Bres-
Inns term of Office, his confidential reia-
tons were exclusively with such men as
Schouler, Gibson, Hamlin, Bowen, and
other republicans of that stripe, and cor
responding set of rascals in the demo
cratic party. The Ohio State Journal
gave Breslin ready access to its col
umns just as often as he had a wish to
make a covert attack on a democrat that
thwarted his purposes or was in the way
of his hackers. Even as late as Janua-r
ry last, Breslin wrote for the editorial
columns of the journal" and stroxe,
in a particular article to which we now
refer, to parry off IN attack made by
democrat paper on the motive which led
to a sacrifice of our State Bonds sold in
New York last October. These facts,
exhibit what may seem to be an astoun-
ding state of political morals. But
what we have stated need to be no matt
ter of great wonderment. The double
Of what We have written would leave the
half vet untold. p

! sElgu.ar Position.

The black-republican-re party
have and now do advocate the admis-
sion Of kaus2s under the Topeka con-
stitution.
The black republican red patch par
ty oppose the bred Scott decision be-
cause it denies a negro to be a citizen.
The black republican party construe
the Declaration of Independence to in
clude negroes in the declaration OF
rights, and hold that the negro has the
same rights, life, liberty and pursuit OF
happiness, and in the same sense, as Il
white man has.
The black republican party oppose
the fugitive slave law and set it at def
ance.
The black republican party advocate
and encourage The underground railroad
system and encourage slaves to u of.
The Topeka constitution prohibits the
immigration Of negroes in Kansas,
whether free or slave.
The black republicans stand in the
following singular and absurd position !:
They allegG negroes to be entitled to
citizenship; to life, liberty and the pur-
suits Of happiness; they are opposed to
sending runaway slaves back; they en-
courage them in running away, but are
opposed to his exercising the rights Of
a citizen in Kansas. They oppose his
pursuing business in Kansas; they will
not allow Il negro to be sent back into
slavery, but they viii not let them live
in Kansas. According to their position
if a slave runs off from Missouri and is
found in Kansas they will not allow
him to be sent back into slavery, and
according to the constitution he dare
not stay there. Pray what viii they do
with him?
Was there ever SO absurd a position
for men to occupy, who claim all the
honor and dccency?

The sham republican party claim that

S1,09 to $1.15, when Gov. Chase took
charge of State affairs.
But how is it now? Ohio stocks are
quoted at 90 from twenty to twenty-five
pr. ct. less, than when we had a democrat
ic Governor, Under Gov. Chase $4,000,
900 were ssla4t= onlrhro5-ccnts above
par, aud when Gov. ModilI was at the
head Of affairs in Ohio they sold nine to
fifteen cents above par. Now how can any
sensible man say that (. Governor who
bankrupts the credit of the State, puts her
stocks that were selling at fifteen cents
above par down below par, is fit to be
Governor of Ohio? The fact is Chase
is ignorant Of the responsibility of his
position, or has forgot his duties in look

1t is stated by the Richmond Enquir-
er, in an article supposed to have been
written by Governor Wise, that during
that ~gentleman's mission to Brazil al
most every vessel bearing the flag of the
United States, and captured or con-
demned for participation in the slave
trade, was found to be the property of
some northern ship owner. In one in
stance such avessel was captured, which
proved to be the property of a Quaker,
in New Jersey, who abstained, on prin-
cipte, from the consumption of sugar
produced by slave labor. OF the state of
society in Brazil the same article re-
marks:
The laws and customs of Brazil are
extremity favorable to emancipation.-
Any agreement made by the master of a
slave, either with the slave himself or
with the third party, for the purchased
emancipation of the slave, is made ire
vocably binding. The emancipated ne
gro Immediately assumcs all the rights
and franchises of Il citizen of Brazil; nor
does he find any obstacle to social adj
vancemont. The prejudice of color is
almost unknown in Brazil, laughed at
even in the more refined circles of the
Court, as displaying an unnatural fasti-
diousness. The priest at the altar, the
general officer in the army, the merchant
on Change the lawyer at the bar, or
even the officer of the imperial house
hold, may be, and frequently is, an un-
adulterated negro, and in all grades of
society the intermarriage of whites and
negroes is a thing of constant practice.
This is the result of practicable Adolf
tionism. With what complacency can
Americans contemplate a similar state of
things in this country?

The Democratic State Convention
boldly and strongly denounced both
Gibson and Breslin for their dcfalcation;
the Black Republican State Convention,
in its resolutions, barely alluded in the
most remote and gentle name to the
state treasury, without daring to name
and censure d~efaulting officers. The
speakers in the Democratic Convention
could find no language too emphatic to
portray the baseness of those who robbed
the State Treasury and stole the peoples
money; not a speaker in the Black Re-
publican Convention made an allusion,
even to the heavy robbery which Glib
and his brother-in-law have perpe-
trated upon the people of Ohio.
The Democratic Convention with
great unaNimity spoke with equal seve-
rity against the misdeeds of protested
and Republicans; the Black
Republican Convention with most ad-
unanimity, remained perfectly
'mum" upon all malfeasance in Office,
when the contrary action would impli-
cate a member of its own party. Which
