6 Restoring the Governmental TO its
Original Purity"


The 10th Resolution of the Repub-
Iican State platform reads thus:
10. We cordially invite all men of
all parties to join with us in earnest
endeayors to restore the Government
10 its original purity, and to preserve
The proud heritage Of American in.
,titutions, transmitted to us by our
fathers, complete and unimpaired, to-
those who may come after us.
Well, reader, how, do you suppose,
these Republican patriots intend to
IRE store the Government to its original
parity, and to preserve the proud heri-
tage transmitted to us by our fathers9"
Their platform partly tells us how they
will do it. The first resolution re.af.
firms the doctrines Of the Philadelphia
platform, refusing to the people Of the
Territories the right to govern them
selves. Thomas Jefferson, one Of the
fathers of the Republic, denounced
this doctrine. Henry Clay, Daniel
Webster and all the great men of the
old Wing and Democratic parties
were opposed toit.
Tue next step which the sham Re-
publicanS Of Ohio propose, in order to
"restore the Government to its Origi-
nal purity, and preserve the proud
inheritance Of our fathers, is, to re-
model the Constitution of the United
States and the laws relative to the Ju-
dietary system, which were adopted
and approved by our fOrefathers. The
Republicans of Ohio are opposed to
the Federal Constitution, and would
tear pieces the work of Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, and the patriots
Of '76.
Tho third step which is to go to.
wards restoring the Government to its
purity, is equal to the above
in its consistency with the truth of
history. The Republicans of Ohio
propose to nullify that part ofthe Fed
eral Constitution, which provides for
the rendition OF fugitives from service
or labor, by repeal ofthe act of 1850.
Theyd do not propose to make another
law to carry out the intent of the Con-
stitution, but simply to repeal all the
law there is relating to it, and thus
nullify the compact and inheritance
entered into and transmitted to us by
our forefathers.
Fellow citizens, are you ready to
restore the Government to its original
purity in the manner proposed by the
Republican leaders of Ohiol
