The War News.

By the arrival of the Steamer Anglo Sax.
on, at New York, we have the news of a
great battle between the Allied army under
Napoleon and the Austrans under General
Hess, at Magenta, on the 4th inst. The
force engaged on both sides was very large.
Napoleon in his dispatch to the Empress
claims that they took 5000 Of the Austrians
prisoners and that $4,000 Of the enemy had
been killed aid taken prisoners, and in a
second dispatch he says that at least 1000
are taken prisoners and that the Austrians
placed korS du combat twenty thousand, and
that three pieces of cannon and two flags
were captured from the enemy. He also
says, in another dispatch, that the allies had
taken IL, 600 Austrian muskets. The loss
in killed and wounded on the side of the nl-
lies was also very large. The Austrian &C.
counts differ from the French, but the whole
tenor of the news goes to show that the vic.
tory was on the side Of the allies. The Ia.
Ter accounts by the Persia are confrmatory
of those by the Anglo Saxon, and leave no
doubt that the allies had achieved brilliant
victory, though it was one dearly purchased.
The Austrans had evacuated Milan, and
the allies had entered that city in great
pomp and the people of that city had given
in their adhesion 10 King Victor Emanuel.
The Austrians were still retrealng and, it
is thought, would make their headquarters
ut Cremona or Mantua. The city of Paris
had been illuminated in honor of the victory
Of the allies at Magenta.

nArRafora tha aassmhlinu of tha Repub B.

rBsfore the assembling of the Repub-
lican ConVe niion, the Gidding's fanatics had
no hesitation in proOlaiming their purpose
of beheading Judge Swan, on account of his
decision in the Oberlin Rescue Habeas Cor.
pus case. But, since their threats have been
carried into execution, and the head Of the
able Chief Justice, 80 uneeremoneously lop.
ped off, they begin to fear that their action
may peril the success Of their party at the
coming election, and they are endeavoting
to deny that that decision had anything to do
in bringing about the rejection Of Judge
Swan. The following paragraph from the
Boston Alas and Bee, edited by Col Schou-
Ter, formerly Of the Ohio State Journal, tells
the true reason, and the very same one which
the Republican papers of the Giddings school
avowed before the act was consummated:
"The public judgment Of the State Of Ohio
is decidedly opposed to the Fugitive Slave
Law of Congress, and the catching Of run.
away negroes is q business they will not ell.
gage in. Judge Swan, In his decision, did
not reflect the opinions of a majority Of the
people, and the people, therefore had right
TO set him aside."
In other words, the Atlas and Bee might
have said, that, the Judge must decide the
law according to the bshesss of Republican
fanatics of Ohio and not as the law, the con.
stitution and his oath require
1t is fact that cannot be denied, that
Judge Swan was laid out by the Republican
Convention. because he had been faithful
and true to the Constitution, the law, and
his official oath.

The State Debt not Reduced as
the Constitution Requires.

The constitution of Ohio provides that
the State Debt shall be reduced at least one
hundred thousand dollars annually, and to
secure this end it requires the creation of a
Sinking Fund which shall be applicable
only to the payment of the interest and prin-
cipal Of the public debt. 1t is now three
years since the Chase dynasty have been
at the head of our offairs and in that period
the State debt, inste6d OF being annua lily
decreased, as the constitution provides, has
actually been increased two hundred thou.
sand dollars beyond the point at which it
stood when the Republicans got the Exc.
cutive, Legislative and Judicial authority OF
the State wholly in their hands. The fact
thus alluded to is in remarkable contrast
with the policy of the Democratic State ad-
ministration that was in Cffice up to the
time Chase became "our model Governor"
In the three years Immediately preceding
Chase's Inauguration, the Democrats redu.
ccd the State debt more than MILLION
OF DOLLARS. In the next three years
the Republicans, with Gov. Chase at their
head, increased the State debt two hundred
thousand dollars beyond what it was when
they came into Office. Tnis increase of
two hundred thousand dollars is in addition
to the temporary debt Of seven hundred thou.
sand dollars Incurred to supply the Bliss,
Breslin and Gibson defacution. These
facts were called out in official shape by q
resolution of Hon. Ralph Leete requiring
certain information from Auditor Wright,
President of the sinking fund commission.
ers.
The determined and persistent disregard
Of the constitutional requirement shown by
these important facts, will leave the Chase
administration on the page OF history in
position that will not be relieved by the
insufficient and deceptive allegation that it
paid off large amount Of f1ating claims
crented under previous administration.

AT the same time the black republicans o
Connecticut are proposing that people of fer.
ejGn birth shall reside in the state one year
after naturalization before being admitted to
vote, they are advocating an amendment to
the State constitution whereby The distinct
ion of color in the qualification Of electors
shall be abolished!
At the same time that the black rcpuIi.
cans Of Massachusetts have 80 amended the
State constitution, that people of foreipn
birth must reside in the State two years after
natura liZation before they can vote, they
sustain that provision of the same con.
stituticn which admits negroes 10 vote on
the same terms as white native American
citizens!
At the same time that the black rcpubli.
cans OF New York have proposed, by reso.
luton in their last State convention, that
there ought to be an interval between uatu.
ralizstion and voting, they sustain that pro,
vision OF their State constitution which ad
mits negroes to vote who own property of the
value OF two hundred and fly dollars!
Al the same time thJt the black reDubli.
cans OF New jersey, by the recommendation
OF their Governor, and by resolution of their
last State convention, have taken ground in
1avor OF an interval between naturalization
and voting, they subscribe 10 all the aboli-
lion doctrines concerning negro equality!
AT the came time that the black republi.
Guns in the last Michigan Legislature voted
for proposition 10 admit negroes to vote
on property qualification of two hundred
ard fifty dollars, they unanimously voted
against proposition, brought forward by o
democrat, to admit uDnaturaIized foreigners
TO vote on the same terms!
AT the same time that the black republ.
cans in all the northern states have made
movements in favor of elevatiug the negroes
TO oil the rights of citizenship enjoyed BY
white native Americans, they have not any

admitted to vote!
These are stubborn facts. The black re.
publican party is as hostile to people of for

us it is devoted in it's friendship for ne.
groes. Its policy, from the beginning, has
been TO elevate negroes and degrade for.
