BE- That is what the Democratic party have
been aiming to accomplish for years, but the
pie-bald "Opposition" have been making such
an incessant din about niger! niger I! mig
that the Democracy have scarcely had
a chance to get in a word "edge-wise" on any

Democrat can't propose anything practically
useful to the State or country, except that

immense quantities of wool in your face and

the blindness thus occasioned, there has been
more rascality and peculation than was ever
known in the same period, since the first set

then, that even the Herald is sick of the Mig

sues that relate to the interests of the white
man and the white mans country The signs

Hon. MILTON $. Latham.

This gentleman, recently nominated for Gov.
ernor of California, is, as most of our readers
are aware, an Ohio boy-oeing a son of the
late bella LATHAM of Columbus. The New
York Tribune, and some other Republican
journals, had the efrontery to declare, recently,
that Mr. LATHAM, was a sort of BRoDERIcK
Democrat, ami unfrionlly ta the Administra-
ton of Mr.. BUCHANAN.
The speech of Mr.. LATHAM to the Conven-
ton by which he was nominated, settles this
point, and settles the calumniators of Mr.. La
THAN. In that Speech Mr.. L. said:

eighty and non-intervention as they were laid
down by the Kansas-Ne Nebraska bill of 1854.

ResoIped, That ever ready to acknowledge
the faithfnlness of those leaders of the Repub-
lican, partyrwhoehaye exerted themselves in ia
yor of the colored mans equality, we have had
cause to regret many departures from this
Notwithstanding the vote givenin Congress
by Hon. Linus B. Cimins and Hon. Eli THAI er,
for the admission of Oregon into the Union
with a Constitution containing prohibitive
clauses against the citizenship of colored
Americans.
Resolued, That we pronounce such votes to
be against justice, against equality. and against
the principles by which the Republican party
processes to be guided, and by which alone it
can be made worth sustaining. %l
Resoiued, That the thanks of the Conven-
ton are due and are hereby expressed to Hon.
Henry L.. Dawes, of the 18th Congressional
District, for his speech in opposition to the
odious and unconstitutional provision of the
Oregon Constitution, and to him and those of
his colleagues who voted against the admission
of the State. 81
ResoLUed, That in view of the fact that in
several States of the Union where the Repub-
lican party is in the ascendant, the elective fran
chise ofeolored citizens is denied or its privil-
eyes abridy ed, we would earnestly call upon
the party to take a manly position upon this
and co-relative questions, that they may de-
serve what they would undoubtedly receive
the suffrages of all voters who love the cause
of freedom.
Resol0ed, That this Convention would re-
commend colored voters to press these claims
upon the Republican party, that if defeated it
may not be by any fault of theirs.

Tom Corwin.

Is announced to speak in this place or some
day in the latter part of August. 1t is under
stood that he will defend the Republican par
ty and he will probably do so with that dis
tinguished ability which has aforetime enabled
him to effect the acquittal of many a worthless
and abandoned rogue, when arraigned before
a jury of the country. Mr.. Corwin is simply
retained, as an ingenious lawyer, to defend u
party accused of all manner of iniquity, from
the high crime of treason against the Govern
ment, down to the petty frauds of the thimble
rigger and the confidence man. The case is
admitted to be a desperate one. The evidence
-superabundant and conclusive-is against
the defendant. OF course, public curiosity is
excited to know what line of argument coun-
sci will adopt.
For our own part, we can conceive Of no
available defense save that of insanity, and we
presume that Mr.. Corwin will make this plea
for his client. Charitably disposed witnesses
can be found in abundance who will swear that
the Republican party is hopelessly crazy and
as it is believed Mr.. Corwin is himself i'm
pressed profoundly with this conviction, it is
fair to presume that he will make this ground
the basis Of his argument.-Logan Gaaeae.

The Sincerity of the "Freedom Shrek
s .-a. erS." aaFati. -t[a.e-

We copy below an article from the FranAln
Patriot, published at Pennington, Maine, }
which is rather calculated to strengthen the
belief entertained by a great many persons,
that there is a great deal more hypocrisy than
sincerity in the professions of the Black repub-
licans of New England:
"Mr. Rice died some three years ago, in
Boonville, Missouri, where he resided, leaving
an estate of some fifteen thousand dollars, about
half of which consisted of slave property
Dying without issue, his brothers and sisters,
and their representatives, inherited the estate.
Three of these heirs resided in this town, one
in Strong, one in New Sharon, one in Fayette,
one in Gardiner, and one in Lowell, Massachu-
sets, and every one of them belong to that
class who are ever ready to "shriek for free
dom" and shed crocodile tears over the suffer-
ings of the ''poor slave" As these slaves
came into their hands without any effort, cost
or sacrifice on their part to obtain them, it.would
certainly, be more reasonable to expect their
liberation at their hands than from Southern
shareholders who have paid for their slaves,
acquired them as they do other property, been
accustomed to their services, and familiar with
the institution all their lives, yet the result
proves the reverse to be true. These conscien-
tious anti-slavery Republicans unanimously de-
cided to have their slaves sold into that. per-
petual bondage which they have so strenuously
denounced as the 'ssum of all villainies.'-
Their decision has been carried into effect
The slaves havebeen sold by the administrator
in Missouri by their orders. A gentleman of
this village who went to Missouri as agent for
the heirs to close up,theB estate has Just return
ed. bringing with him six or seven thousand
dollars dividends arising from the sale of slaves
and other property up to this time, a portion
of the property having been sold on time, the
proceeds of which are not available. Doubt
less these freedom and humanity breathren
will continue to advocate the abolition of sla-
very-jingling their slave money in their
pockets while they abuse Southern slavehold-
ers, including those to whom they have sold
theirs, for not liberating their bondmen.-
Such is Black Republieanism in New Eng
land" -1iT tf -E9 rHi - s.9E
Shere is esmuch of a muchness," as Toney
Lumpkin would say, between these New Eng
land Abolitionists and our own Gholson, who
came s'to Ohio, a Republican to be" after sell
ing OFF all his negroes at public auction in Mis-
%sissippi. For thus Kidding himselfofhi lis "chat-
ties" Gholson is to receive the votes of all the
Abolitionists in this state, and in this respect
he will be more fortunate than his Maine pro-
totypes, who only get the money, without be-
ing offered Office for their self sacrificing zeal
in the Abolition eause.-CadiS Sentinel

"Let us test its operation in the South. The
laws of some of the Southern States imprison
all colored seamen who may visit their ports
and 1t IS q fair presumption that the State
Courts regard such laws as constitutional. A
colored citizen of Ohio goes to South Carolina,
and is arrested. His friends apply toa United
States Judge for a writ of hd6ees coapus.E
Hold says the Leader, Your Honor has no;
right to issue it. The offence IS against State
laws; therefore, let the applicant go to a State
Judge Il have no hope,,x replies the man,
'in a State Court. But if 1 can get my case
before a United States Judge, I trust he will
pronounce the law unconstitutional, and Gber-
ate me- He has no right to issue the writ
re-afirms the Leader.
"Take another case. The laws Of Virginia
prohibit the circulation of the Leader there,
or any other paper of anti-slavery tendency.
The editor happens to be passing through the
Old Dominion; and hands a copy of his paper
to a friend. He is arrested, and held for trial.
What can he do to effect his release? There
is no use in taking out-a writ of ha6eas corpus
before a State Judge, for every State officer
holds the law to be constitutional. His only
hope-poor though it be-is the examination
of his case by'a United States Judge; but if
the d theory be correct, that Judge
has no authority to open his prison doors by
such a writ. ats
We incline to the belief that the United
States Courts have. as xhey certainly ought, as
good a right to protect United States citizens
against the illegal oppression of State officials
by a writ of ha6eas corpus, as have State
Courts to protect State citizens in a like man
ner against the illegal oppression of United
States officials; and we are sorry the Leader
don't agree with us. In its anxiety to stand
perfectly straight upon the question of State
- a. u -
ter. by leaning considerably backwards.
IF these extracts do not strip the Lions
skin from off the Leader, so as to make the
long ears protrude, then we know nothing of
the power of truth. It is a scathing. wither-
ing, overwhelming rebuke to stupidity aud
falsehood, and our only surprise is that the
Bugle should have the cruelty to do it.

death, were stripped of their clothing, money,

Negro RepubIicanism i'm
There are no distinctions recognized on ac-
count of color by the leading Republicans in
Massachusetts. 1t is one of the States where
Republicanism boldly comes up to its profess
ions, and where blacks and whites mingle in
Social and political harmony. 1t is the white
foreigner who is alone prescribed by this inces-
tuous medley of Blacks and Whites in Massa-
ehusetts. IF a cargo of full-blooded Hotten-
tots should drift upon the shores of the Bay
State, they would obtain the rights of citizen
ship as soon as the immigrants from Germany
or Ireland. What a burlesque upon the sys-
tenn of Government established by the men of
the American Revolution
The following, which we copy from the Ohio
Statesman, shows the modest temper of the
Black wing of Massachusetts, Republication /:
A convention of the ecoJo~ed citizens of New
England assembled at Boston on the FIRST Of
August. The objects of the Convention, ac-
cording to the alias d Bee were "to take aaso
consideration the course to be pursued by them
IN the coming Presidential camrass, and the
best means of promoting the moral, social and
political elevation of the race From among
a mass of proceedings published in the AAas

the particular attention of the reader to them !:
