The Pioneer Self.COnVicted ADain

The Pioneer of yesterday says that :" the
Republicans Of Ohio have openly taken the
ground that Negroes are citizens, and are en-
titled to political equality"
That is fat footed lie, and the Pioneer
knows it.
The Republican Party of Ohio has taken
no such ground. 1t has raised no such issue,
and we defy the Pioneer to the proof All
the Pioneers pretended quotations only
amount to this: that there are SOME Repub-
licans in Ohio, as everywhere elsc who favor
the po!1ical-aaot social-equality of the Ne
gro. They don't profess to speak the senti-
ments of the Party; but only the individual
sentiments IF their authors. In this position,
in favor of Negro Equality, however, these
Republicans are backed up by such Demo-
cratic authority as JEFFERSON, MADISON,
MONROE, JACKSON, VAN buren, and PIERCE,
all of whom have repeatedly affirmed the
citizenship and political equality of the Negro.
Why don't the Pioneer ''pitch into " their
great Democratic lights, and not into their
poor deluded disciples?
Why don't the Pioneer pitch into" the
" Unclean Democracy" of New England and
New York, who have always supported Ne
gro Equality to this day?
According to the Pioneers doctrine, thew
are full-blooded Negro Amalgatiorists p
But the Pioneer asserts that Gov. CHASE, of
Ohio favors Negro Citizenship, and the po-
ltical equality of the Negro Well, if that
is true it only proves that the Democratic
Party of lS49, when 1t elected him to the
U. S. Senate six years, held the same doctrine
and honored one of its leading champions
For Governor CHASE says in one of the Pho
meer's oacn quotations, that his views and prin-
ciples are unchanged, are the same now they
were In 1S49
Well, unfortunate neighbor, who is hurt
now? Haven't you tumbled into your own
pit? Try again, stupid Pioneer!
The Pioneer quotes Judge r. B. WARDEN,
of Ohio, as being in favor of Negro Equality,
when it is notorious that he was made Judge
of the Supreme Court of Ohio by the Demo-
cratic Party, while holding the same Identical
opinions on Negro Equality he now does, and
was an ardent supporter of JAMES BuCHAN-
AN for President!
"Hit him again" neighbor. You are only
"kicking against Democratic pricks'
But the Pioneer has really made one lumi-
nous discovery, and ought to :" copy right % it
or patent" it at once. 1t says that the old
Anti-Slavery war-horse,' GIDD1NGs, has
embraced the modern Pro-Slavery doctrine,
that " the Negro. e. Negro Slavery, is
heavenly institution r We quote the Pho
neer's own language. Heavens what a po-
litical summerset! DOUGLAS, Col. ROBERT
SON and GDDINGs, can all now get into the
same political truckle-bed!
The only point of difference between GID
DINGs and these and the "great Democratic
Party" is that while GIDD1NGs holds that
the "Nigser' is " heavenly institution"
DOUGLAS, Col. ROBERTSON, aud all the great
democratic quack DOCTORS" hold that the
Niger is dicine institution
We leave these doctors to settle the "di-
vine" and heavenly" attributes of the Mig
ger" In the meantime, we read GIDD1NGs
out of the Republican Party. He has gone
over to the Sham Democracy, horse, foot
and dragoous."
