McCUToHKHvfLLE, o. Sept ~ 1859
EDrroRs TnmUNE.-It was our good
fortune to be present, TO hear the first die
cussion between the Republican and Dem.
ocratio candidates for Governor of our
State.
Amer being seated, patiently awaiting
the presentation ofthe speakers, we were
glad to hear the announcement by the
President that ali was ready.
When Mr.. DENNsoN was presented, to
myself and many other Brother Demo
Gratis, II was a sore disappointment.
We had expected to see some poor pro-
duction Of mankind, one that would have
compared to RAENEY as a flea to an ele-
phant. But alasi for US poor Democratsl
The manly form Of Mr. DENMsoN before
us, depicted too plainly that RANSEY had
met the wrong mani Deplorable Democ-
racyi We wept and we walled just like a
little dog without any tall
Judge RANNEY being introduced, still
greater disappointment pervaded.
When he arose his huggard look told
in glowing words his inability to answer
the questions pronounced him by Mr..
DENNisos We all know that those
questions stand non as they stood then
undasBerabie by the Geo called able and
distinguished statesman, or, by any other
man Of his party in ohiol
Again, we, poor democrats are badly
smoked We had Of late, abiding con-
lidence in the Democratic organ Of Sene-
ca, but Il mas, in its issue Of the 9th mis-
represented the facts to such an alarming
extent, that our sympathy for it and the
party II supports, must ceasel
SO disgusted were we with the whole
proceedings on the part ofour Democrat
ic Brethren, that we have resolved to 20

RANNEY A APRACTICAL ANAL.
GAMATIONISTi
FAvoRS THE EQUALITY OF NE.
GROES.

Since the opening Of the present cam
paign, the fuglers Of Locoloeoism have
had good deal to say about negro equal
ity, and have charged over and over, that
the Republicans are in favor Of Negro
Equality, aud wish to do away with all
the distinctions between the races. In
this their hypocrisy is as polpable as in
everything else, Their candidates for
Governor aud State Auditor are not only
in favor Of negro equality, but actually
endeavored, rs members Of our late Con-
stimtionaI Convention, to engrae il upon
our new Constitution, so far as our Com
mon Schools are concerned, By refer
ence to the Debates Of that Convention,

Mr.. Reemelin moved to amend Report
No, Of the Committee on Education by
striking out these words;
"And no law shall ever be passed pre-
venting the poor within the several coun-
ties, townships, and districts Of the State
from an equal participation in the schools,
academies, colleges and universities, en-
dowed wholly or in part from the rcve-
nues arising from donations, made by the
United States for the support thereof"
Mr., Sawyer moved to further perfect
the words proposed to be stricken out,
[tho motion to strike out the word poor
being LOST by inserting after the word
"poor" the word whites" the effect of
which would be to exclude negroes from
the schools, colleges, &C., mentioned in
the clause proposed to be stricken out;

Democratic Doctrine.

The Washington Constitution lays
down the following point Of doctrine
win our neighbor Of the Advertiser in
form the public whether this is democru.
ey in this latitude;
The Constitution recognizes tho right
10 hold slave property in the Territories,
as a right indelessible by Congress or the
Territories, and places that property, like
every other species Of property, under the
protection Of the courts Of tho country,
created for that purpose, and armed with
full power and authority for lis execution.
IL Is as unwiso as tits untrue to attempt
10 draw a distinction between slave prop
erty and other species of property and to
require the passage ofspeeiSl laws for the
protection Of the former. Slaves are
property just as money, household fafni-
nre, cattle, or silver spoons, are proper
". The federal courts will apply the
same laws 70 slave property as they do to
all other property, and those are ample
for the purpose; and if a territorial logis-
lature should attempt 10 pass laws hostile
to slavery, the federal courts would treat
such legislation as void, and apply the
proper remedies for the correction Of the
evil

The Timn Dchnte.

Our first page is chiefly occupied, this
morning, with n verbatim report Of the
great debate at Tihin, between Messrs
DENNssoN and RANNEy, the gubernOto-
rial candidates. The speech Of Mr.. DEN
NIsoN was a mastery effort, more than
sustaining the high reputation he had be-
fore gained, during this canvass, for elo-
quence and statesman-lke ability. Both
on State and National issues, he has
made out plain case against the De-
mocrncy, and no one can read his clear
and iorcible exposition of Republican
doctrines without admiration. Among
his political friends, who were present at
the discussion, there was a universal feel
ing of satisfaction and pride at the man
ner in which their champion acquitted
himself, and equal appreciation will be
the result of perusal Of his remarks, as
taken down at the time by our stenograph-
ic reporter.
OF effort of Judge RANNEY, il is al
so just to say that il exhibits much Obili-
ty and ingenuity, and puts a good face
upon his side of the question, probably, ,as
was possible. That Il will be satislNcto.

Then ana Now.

In ls4s, before party subserviency had
taught Judge RANNEY to bow the knee tc

admits he wrote;

TERRITORIES, AND | AM IN FA.
VOR OF AND WOULD SUPPORT
SUCH PROHIBITION"
This was RAnney's democracy In ls4s.
II Is Repubic0nism now. That this is
the ground the democratic party in Ohio
held at that time s shown from resolu-
tion incorporated in their state platform
from ls49 TO 1853 as follows:
Resolve, That tho people Of Ohio now,
as they ever have done, look upon slavery
as an evil, and unfavorable to the full de-
vclopment Of the spirit and practical BEN

The Western Reserve.

Our private advices from the Reserve
are Of most satisfactory character, in re-
gard to the prospects of the Republican
ticket in that quarter. A correspOndet,who
is well posted as to political matters there
and whose statements can be taken with
out any allowance for pErtiality or hasty
judgment, assures thatthe determination to
support Judge GHoLsoN is cordial and gem
eral, and that he will probably run fully
even with the foremost candidate on the
ticket. We may look for rousing majori-
ties in all that region, and such as have
not been equaled since 1856. There, as
everywhere else through the State, Mr..
DENNIsoN commands public confidence as
a sound and reliable representative ofpen-
ufnv republican rintfpIOs,-sss,. - a.
people alike Of Northern and Southern
Ohio have heard eloquently proclaimed
from his own lips. Individual ultraists
may differ from him on some points, but
the great mass ofthe Republicans Of Ohio,
and Of the Americans no less, fully agree
with him in his main doctrines, and will
accord him an earnest and even enthusi-
astlc support. The Western Reserve,
despite the abolition" devices Of the en-
envy, will prove no exception Gin. GaE.

Of Mr.. Runney's speech the A dvooaie re-

In closing his speech, Judge Ranney
could not let this golden opportunity pass
Of "pitohing into" the clergy. He de-
nouuood them in very severe language for
uttering their Anti-Slavery sentiments
"Prof Peck would never get his due un-
ill a halter iOas pat around his neck-and
the only way 10 head these Anti-Slavery
preachers,was TO cut off the supplies. -
Ranney either must have been drunk, OF
thought he was among heather or grog

sentiments. Weare glad to see that they
were received with no response by the
respectable men ofhs party.
