pointing out a sensible remedy for the evil
Of which it complains. 1t prates of the hor.
rors and j. justice Of slavery, without telling
us how it can be abated. 1t repudiates the
decisions Of the Supreme Court, and would
bring our his hest judirial tribunal into con

Union upon an abstraction, and plunge us
into civil war, sooner than concede to the

ed in the following, which we copy from an
exchange:
In Cleveland, Ohio, the Republican leaders
boldly carry ou, the principles they profess
Being in the majority. they are Indifferent
about making converts, and are therefore
less reserved in avowing their real sentiments.
They allow negro children to sit side by side
with white children at their schools and AS
sociate with them at their homes and in pub
Nc places. Upon objection being made to
this condition Of things, one OF the members
of the Board Of Education-al Republicans
said:
Il would rather my little girl should sit
than hy frizzled headed Irish or Dutch
girl"
Joshua R. Giddings, one of the patriarchs
of Abolilionism. and also an acknowledged
leader Of Republicanism, in a late State Con
vention Of his party, declared, that
The negro is Heavenly institution. and
it is God like in man to elevate him TO an
equality with the whites
Giddings was one Of the leading spirits in
the Chicago Convention, and possesses the
confidence of his party to an unlimited ex-
tent. His sentiments are well known, and
where the Republicans are strong they en-
dorse them, but where they are weak they
think it prudent to repudae them. To show
that they approve hs sentiments, we have
the most convincing evidence. The resoln-
tions were passed at a Republican meeting
in Stark county, Ohio. Here they are:
Resolved, That it is not only the duty. but
the interest of the Republican party in this

coored citizens the elective franchise; and
we do most earnestly call upon that party to
make the subject part of the State policy.
Resolued, That should the Republicans
give the coored people of Ohio, the elective
franchise, it would thereby secure to itself
permanent and unchanging majority in the
State, which would always insure to it the
ascendency.
Here is practical Repubcansm for YOU.
The resolutions are positive, pointed, unmis
taxable. In Ohio the Republicans are Meth
or ashamed nor afraid to declare their doc
trines and opinions, knowing full well that
the Republicans everywhere te "a they do,

deny their real sentiments. in order to de

Such are the real sentiments of California
Republicans, but they strenuously deny it,
and at the same time endorse Seward as their
leader. There never existed more section

Although Seward has never expressed
himself in such strong terms, he is n.ver
