Dennison threatens to Bay0ne,
Men for Obcying the Laws Oi
their Country.

A few weeks since we noticed q state
ment that Mr.. Dennison lad threatened,
that if elected Governor, he would pre-
vent the execution of the fugitive slave
law at the point of the bayonet. We
refrained from publishing it for the rea-
+son that we were not entirely certain that
it was well authenticated. 1t has now, how
ever, been established beyond doubt, as
may be seen by the following affidavits.
The gentleman whose names are attached
to them are vouched for by some of the
best men in Butler county:
State Of Ohio, Butler County, SIS.
Before me, the subscriber, Notary
Public in aud for the county ard State

a resident of Butler County. Ohio, who
deposes and says that on the --duy

Encampment, near Middletown, in said
county of Butler, and while there was in
troduced to the Hon. William Dennison,
the Republican candidate for Governor
and while in conversation with me on the
subject Of the fngitive-slave law, he made
use of the following language:
"If ! am elected Governor of Ohio
and expect to bel will not let any
fugitive be returned to Kentucky or any
OTHER slave state, and if | cannot prevent
it in any other way, as commander-in-
chief of the military of the state, l will
employ the bayonet, so help me God"

What Bsaggadocio to come from q
man who asks the people of Ohio to elect
him their Governor ! If elected, he will
be sworn to support the Constitution of
the United States. That Constitution
says:
NO person held TO service or labor in
one state, under the laws thereof, escaping
into another, shall, 10 consequence Of any
law or regulation therein be discharged
from such service or labor, but shall be
delivered up on claim of the party to
whom such service or labor may be due. u
MIR Dennison says that if he cannot
fprevent this clause of the Constitution
from being carried ont liz any other way,
he will employ the bayonet, so help him
God. In order to get the Office he viii
swear before Almighty God to support
this clause, with the rest,) and yet say:
so help him God he will resist it with tht
bayonet before it shall be carried out.
The laws Of the United States provide
that man who refuses when legally call
ed upon, to aid in carrying out this pro
vision Of the Constitution, shall be fnet
and Imprisoned. Mr Dennison says i
the man does not refuse he ,will--do what
--p1nish him by any law ? Does h,
propose to punish him 10y any authorit,
which he might legally exercise as Gov
srnor? No, he will simply run hin
through with bayonet.
Will Mr.. Dennison tell the people, hov
many white men he is willing to ru'
through with q bayonct before he will sui
fer negro TO be returned TO his owner
Will he say how many white men he vii
murder before he will permit a clause c

increase Of the Free Black.

from communication on this subject IN
the Frankfort Commonwealth, we learn that
in 1880 there were in the United States So
466 free blacks. 30, 357 of this number
were in the slave States, and 27,l09 were
living in what are now termed the free
States, though at that time most of those
States had slaves living in them. The diff
ference at that time in the number of the
free blacks in the slave States, over those in
the free States, was but 1924. In 1900 the
number of free blacks was lOS, 1896. The
increase in the free States was 90, O45, while
it was %, l0l in the slave States. The Dis
trict of Columbia had 1888. The whole IN
crease was 48,928, within 9, 744 OF the
whole number in the Union in I190. ms
increase cannot be referred to natural
generation, for the free blacks as body do
not enter into the marriage relation. In
1910 there were 1876 ,446 free blacks, show
ing the increase to De, in ten years, 7S, 05l.
The free States had 70, ISL, the slave States
los. TIC, and the District of Columbia 2, 549.
In 1920 there were 233, 524 of this class of
persons in our land; 80, 2Sl were living in
the free States, $50, 1875 in the slave States,
and 4,04S in the District of Columbia
This makes the increase in the free States

the District of Columbia ,499. 1t will be
observed there was falling off in the iu-
crease in the preceding ten years, compared
with the increase between 1900 aud 1870
There was no epidemic prevailing among
the free blacks, North or South, to take
them off by death. And in the free
States there were $4,000 of the slaves
in those States set free by the opera
ton of the emancipation laws. But ii is
evident from the census tables that there were
not as many slaves set free in the slave
States as had been in former years. Still,
