Henry Clay on the Declaration of In
1-T dependence.


In a speeches "On Slavery and Abolition
delivered at Richmond, Indiana, October 1,
1912, tsee Life and speeches of Henry Clay, by
MallorysEol II, p 597,] HENRY CLAY, said:
"That Declaration, whatever may be the ex-
tent of its import, was made by the delegations
of the thirteen States. In most of them sla-
very existed; and had long existed, and was
established by law. It was introduced and
forced upon the colonies. by the paramount law
of England. Do you believe that IN making
that Declaration, the States that concurred in
it intended that it should be tortured into a
virtual emancipation of all the slaves within
their respective limits? Would Virginia and
the other Southern States have ever united in
a declaration which was to be interpreted into
an abolition of slavery among them2 Did any
one of the thirteen States entertain such a de-
sign or expectation? To impute such a secret
and unayowed purpose would be to charge q
political fraud upon the noblest band of pa
triots that ever assembled in council; a fraud
upon, the confederacy of the revolution; a fraud
upon the union of those States whose consti-
tuition not only recognized the lawfulness of
slavery, but permitted the importation ofslaves
from Africa until the year 1903. And I am
bold to say, that if the doctrines of ultra polit-
zeal abolitionists had been seriously promul-
gated at the epoch of our Revolution, our glo-
rious independence would never have been
achieved-never, never"

Will Ohio Sustain the Constitution
= Las, and the Laws?

Mr.. ED1ToR:-We desire to state, through
your paper, that a large number of Democrats
and conservative, Republicans desire to vote
for Hon. Joseph r. Swan for Supreme Judge.
isa y ss SOUTHERN ONO.
We find the above in the Ohio Statesman,
and are frank to. confess that we know of no
gentleman, under the circumstances, that we
would rather see elected than Judge SWAN.
He is an able Lawyer and an honest man
AS a Judge of the Supreme Court, he was
struck down by the Abolitionists, for daring
to decide that the Constitution Of the United
States was binding upon the Courts and people
of Ohio, and that the Fugitive Slave Law,
while upon the statute books as a law, must be
obeyed. IS.
Judge B-R1NKERHoFF, who made an adverse
decision and who aided in the Ostracism of
Judge SWAN, is again the candidate of the ul-
ira Abolitionists. With Judge SWAN, as his
competitor, the issue whether the Constitution
and laws of the United States shall be held as
binding on Ohio, will be made, and a decision
had. The ,Abolitionists seem to invite this,
by their resolution at their late State Conven.
ton, against the Fugitive Slave Law, and for
one, and speaking but for ,ourself, we are dis
posed to crafty them. The decision by the
people Of Ohio, in an issue thus made up,
would settle rampant Abolitionism at once and
forever in Ohio, for we cannot donbt but that
Ohio still has a majority who believe that the
Constitution which WASHINGTON gave us is
still worth preserying.-Ndt. Democrat. -.

From the C~ircleville Waterman.

d We have noticed recently in several of our
exchange papers, expressions of establishment
at the fact, that the Republican Legislature of
last winter appropriated some forty or fifty dol
lars to pay the ice consumed by the members
of that body during the months of January,
February and March Our good natured fat
friend of the Hardin County Democrat wants
to know why the members didn't also pay
their whisky bills by an appropriation from
the public treasury. If he will only turn to
page So of the little volume of laws passed by
sui generis body, he will find that they did
actually appropriate the sum of five thousand
seven hundred and four dollars and twenty six
cents for whisky, ct ceteras.
While speaking of the ice we are reminded
of the fact that our. Republican officials at Co
fumbus are the coolest fellows, and doubtless
also the most celebrating, Of all the function
aries that ever preceded them in this State
They have adopted the practice of making the
state pay for their ice all the whilei And
judging from the bills which are paid, some
of those gentleman must have pretty expen-
sive families, for the records show that during
the fiscal year ending. November Is, 1859, the
five principal Executive officers of this State,
paid from their, contingent funds the sum of
one hundred and seventy-nine dollars and
eighty four cents for ice. We would think
this amount ought to keep those gentleman
pretty cool, and also justify a little whiskey or
mint, or something else, along with the ice oc-
c%asionly. ~
r Now this is little better than downright
stealing. We do not believe the people of this
State ever intended their public servants
should enjoy any such perquisites or Injuries
at the expense of the public treasury. It is a
practice ~inaugurated by the present and pre-
ceeding black Republican officials. No such
items of expenditure are to be fonnd in the
exhibit of 1855, or any previous year the De-
mocracy filed those public stations. But SO
soon as these economical Republicans came
into power, they inaugurated this system, and
it is hard to tell to what extent they carry it,
for we find by an examination of the Auditors
published exhibits, that about one-fourth of
the expenditures from the contingent funds of
the several Executive officers are drawn under
the head Of etsundries." Whether these "sun-
dries are for whiskey, clothing or board bills,
the people have no means of knowing.

Some of the Black Republican papers are
denying that aOld Abe,D ike Tom Corwin,
wanted to welcome the Mexican volunteers
sswith bloody hands to hospitable graves" and
that h was not in Congress at the time, and
was only elected q 1.-THE close Of the war. This,
like all the rest of their stories, is false. The
Chicago Times on this subject says
"The War with Mexico was declared on the
18th of May, 1916, and Lincoln was elected
TO Congress in the first week of August, 1876.
When nominated he was understood to be, as
all the leading Wings of that district were
known to be, a, strong supporter OF the war:
Nothing occurred to change the opinion en-
tertained by all his constituents, until he took
his seat in Congress in December, 1847, when
he introduced his famous spot resolutions,
and in. a few weeks followed them up by his
Infamous speech and more infamous votes
The Sangamon district, at that time, was the
only Wing district in the State, and the rule
had been uniformly to give each Congressman
two terms. When the Wing Convention met
in the spring of 1S48 to nominate candidates
for Congress, so odious had Lincoln become
-by his votes and speeches on the war question,
that IAN Illinois enthusiastically the
district which had sent the gallant Hardin and
his brave regiment to the SCENE of conflict
not only refused to ~re-eIect him, but the Con.
~yention of his own friends refused to nominate
him and utterly repudiated himf
"Judge Logan, one of the delegates to the
Chicago Convention, was nominated by the
Wings; Major Thomas l.. Harris was nomi-
mated by the. Democrats. The district was
overwhelmingly Wing Harris adroitly got
Logan to defend Lincoln, personally, and grad.
uaily led him on to defend Lincoln's votes and
speeches, and, finally, he induced Lincoln to
take the stump in person. He had now got
the Wings exactly as he desired. He travelled
the district with Lincoln and Logan, and be
kept the issue upon Lincoln's speeches and
votes. The result was a vindication of the
patriotism of the district that had sent the
Gallant Hardin and his brave regiment te
Buena Vista. Harris was elected,@he hav
ing by the exposure of Lincoln's votes and
speeches in Congress, defeated the ablest law
yer and most skiIlfuI debater in the stronghold
of the Wing party in Illinois.
.siThe story that Lincoln was elected to Con
gress near the, close of the war is refuted b,
the dates of both events. The fact was, tina
his. speeches and votes, and his defence O
them on the stump, defeated Judge Logan ane
elected Harris" h.a5s

This is a pretty fair bushes, but is likely to
have very, little perceptible- effect in diseour-
aging the slave-trade, as the market price of
negroes in Cuba will advance in proportion as
the supplies are cutoff, and SO will bring out
fresh adventurers. Yet these captures will
subject the General Government to heavy costs
The British Government, in disposing of cap
tured negroes, has decidedly the advantage, as
they are Immediately landed in her tropical
colonies, and made 10 supply a demand for
labor which has been severely felt. Thus a
revenue is produced which goes far to reward
the philanthropy supposed to be exercised on
the part of the British nation. When the
Empire of Brazil was engaged in suppressing
the slave-trade, all ,captiyes were appropriated
as laborers for a term of years, on the public
works, by which the naval forces employed
were, in some degree, made self-sustaini2g.-
The United States, on, the contrary, stwork
for nothing, and find themselves.1-N. Il

JACOBS, Esq. He says nothing about Dou-
