The Ohio Democracy are trying very
hard 90 find some other reason than the
want Of votes, 10 account for their recent
doreut Among other causes assigned Is
that Ohio is nholitionised. But DOGS Re-
publicanism 70 any further now than the
Ohio Democracy did, when for five sue
ccssiye years, from lSiS 10 1869, they
passed The following resolutions
Resolved That tho people Of Ohio nov
as they ever have done, look upon Slave
ry ns an evil, and unfavorablo 20 the ~
development Of the spirit aud practical
benefits Of free institutions; and that they
will at all times feel Il TO be their dutyto
use all power clearly given them by the
terms Of the national compact 10 prevent
Us Increase, 70 mitigate and finally Grad
icaie The eUl. ...
IL is pretty difficult to tel what Adolf
tionism Is but, but Il is not difficult to tell
how the Ohio Democracy stands on the
question VI excluding the STAKEHOLDER from
the Territories. Judge Ranney, the late
Democratic candidate for tho Office Of
Governor In that state, mot Mr. Denni-
son his successful competitor In debate
at Tiliin, Seneca county, on the 9th OF
Soptemb r, and In the course Of his
speech he stated his own posluonnnd
that Of HE party, on the subject ofslave-
ry, ns follows:
We claim that os 10 slavery in the Ter
rtorics, that there should be absolute nom
intervention on the part OF tho Federal
Government; that thorc should bo no
Congressional legislation IN regard TO Il,
but leave Il In tho language Of the Ne
braskn bill 70 the determination Of the
people. This was settled In 1850 BY the
compromise ne9surcs, and by the con-
currenco Of both the Wing and Demo-
cratic parties. The question arose, how
shouldtho Territory acquired from Mexico
be governed. Many OF us at the North,
,pas among h6m, were Of the opinion
that they should be organized into Ter
ritorhl Governments by the Congress Of
the United Statcs, and Slavery should be
prohibited IN hom, We consulted our
wishe~und iecllngonly in the matter, and
that was tho wish and feeling of the most
Of us, | have never changed one iota on
that subject I stand to-day as did in
ls4s in NV strong desire that az Ae Ter,
rii0ry Of the United States shall Be sceur-
ed ip freedom and free labor, The gen
HeHaa cannot cypress any more feeling
UPON Adt subject than I hare fsh during
all AiS hmc. The question 10 how hon
estly 10 come az IT,
In iS4s, Judge Ronncy desired that call
the territory of the United States should
be secured TO freedom and free labor"
and has not changed one toto on that sub
iect since. and in ls4DIbO-'D1-'52 and
.'53 his party felt il "their duty 70 use all
power to prevent lie increase, mitigate
and finally TO eradicate the evil ofslOye-
Y. Is not this war upon the labor
system Of the South and yet when Sem
ator Davis, OF Mississippi, in his speech
at Jackson, charged that the Republican
pOrty was "organiEod for the destruction
Of the labor system at the South" the
New York Covrier and Enquirer, the
ablost of the organs Of Mr.. Seward stated
in reply as follows;
There isnot fact in all the history Of
the time capable Of clearer demonstration
than that the Republican party is not cor
gOnized for the destruction OF the labor
system OF the South" aud that 1t has Nc
Iintention Of Earring upon the existence
of Mississippi as a sovereign State" II
can be proved by record, and il can be
proved by any quantity Of oral evidences
The resolutions Of Republican conyen'
Itons, while they have In all instances
claimed the right to exclude slavery from
the Territories, have 10 no instance g lain
ed the tight to interfere with Il In States
General Davis, as many yoars as he hai
been In the Senate, has never heard,
Republican Senator mako such claim
On the contrary, he has beard every Re-
publican leader In that body disolaim II
the most emphatic manner all such in
tentioni and during his travels througl
the North last year, he heard the greo
Republican masses everywhere eohoinl
the samo language,
Here, then, We have the opinions OF
/ Northern Douplas Democrat and North
ern Seward RepubliCAn-the former goo
for srddieaiiHg slavery as an evil, aud th
latter for excluding il from tho Terrific
rics, Which doctrine is the most dan
gerous for the Southi
