The PrOSllecf.

We have the most cheering accounts OF the
Canvass from all portions ofthe State, the de
lnocracy are fully aroused, and are at work
with unanimlty and zeal that characterized
efforts in the days Of our signal victories.
Hamilton county, is in the field with capi,
tai good ticket--a ticket composed of men that
even the opposition can find no fault with, and
we may expect from that good old county one
other old fashioned majorities. She stands at
the head and we look to her for q good exam
pie, we are confident she will not disappont
the expectations of her friends in other portions
of the State. The Democrats of that County
have made glorious fight thus far, and are en-.
titled to great credit If they are triumphant,
and We see not how it can be otherwise, the
State is ours. Mark that!
In other portions of the State we have graf
flying accounts from our speakers and leading
politicians. The democratic masses are arous-
ed and determined upon victory. They were
never more harmonious, and the immense gath
erings, at the recent meetings in Cincinnati
Columbus Wooster and other points are dem.
onstrative of the enthusiasm which prevails -
Our enemies on the other hand are divided and
discordant. Giddings and his followers repu.
diate Corwin and denounce him as mischie
maker and an interloper; Corwin and his co.
horts reciprocate in no very amable mood, and
are for hanging up, or shooting down, all who
will not submit to the law as laid down nnd
enforced by them. There is also Swan and
Anti. Swan, Gholson and Anti Gholson all by
the ears pelting away somewhat after the man
ner and form adopted by the notorious Wood
and his bruisers..
1t is said that "a house divided against itsel
cannot stand" this is as true Of political par.
/, ties as of church organizations. The Republi.
can house of this State in not only divided, but
its tmbers are disjointed and woefully decayed
and to cause the whole fabric to tumble down
piece meal, requires but we'll directed and
united effort on our part. Let that effort b
put forth from every quarter Of the State, and
on the second Tuesday Of October next we
may shout victory over the scattered fragments
and ruins of Republcanism. Plaindealsr.

The Massachusetts Amendment
Action Of the Dem Ocratic COnven-

ACtlOn Oh tuc DeEuOCFaIC COhVeu"
ton.
The Republicans Of Ohio, in attempting to
evade the consequences of the amendment fore
cd by them into the Constitution of Massaehus-
etts, to degrade naturalized citizens below the
level Of the negro, pretended that the Democra-
cy of Massachusetts were equally responsible
for it. We showed that this was gross and
contemplate falsehood, gotten up by men who
had seduced large number of naturalized citi-
zens into acting with their party and then
turned round and inflicted the most infamous
insults and outragcs upan them. They have
never publicly disavowed this Massachusetts,
outrage in Ohio, but. on the contrary, Cover
nor Chase and the Ohio State Journal, Cincin-
natl Gazette. &C., are publicly committed to an
alteration ofthe naturalization laws, which they
declare to be necessary because foreigners COM
NIT frauds and perures. This base libel they
know to be false but they circulate it as pre-
text foy their plan to propitiate the Know Moth
ings of the East by tampering with the natural
izatiou laws. Will foreign born citizens sup
port party that thus betrays and degrades
them? In order to show tie utter want of
foundation for their allegations as to the Mas
sachusetts amendment, we copy below the res.
olution just passed by the Democratic State
Convention Of Masstchuset Is upon the subject
This resolution emphatically condemning the
Republican prosecuting amendment was passed
by the largest Democratic Convention that ever
assembled in the State without dissenting
voice. Let it be compared with the tortuous,
prevaricatiDg resolution adopted by the Repub-
licans of Ohio. The resolution of the Demot =
racy Of Massachusetts is as follows:- Statesman.
Resolved, That the amendment OF the Consti-
tuition of Massachusetts, by which the law of
naturalization is extended to seven years, is q
fragrant violation of the Constitution and Laws
of the United States; a narrow and bigoted
policy, unbecoming an enlightened and free peo-
ple and gross insult to the white men who
are thus attempted to be placed below :he ne
gro in the scale Of being and human rights.
