Meeting at the Court House.
Ratification Extraordinary.

On Friday last, we noticed our
Probate Judge busily circulating
and pasting up great posters, an
nouncing that a ratification meet
ing would be held at the Court
House Friday night; seventy-fve
or eighty Of the most distinguished
speakers in the United States
were announced to be there. Night
came and a good crowd gathered
in the Court room. Sosoon as or
der could be had, Judge Haines
was loudly called for and took the
stand. The Judge takes stronger
grounds on the 'irrepressible con-
iict' doctrine than ever Seward or
Lincoln have taken. He also takes
strong intervention" grounds,
claiming that he has an interest in
the settlement of the slavery CUES
ton in Kansas. AZ tho Judge had

In the short space allowed to Sec
retaries in reports Of this character
tits utterly impossible to give an,
adequate description ofthe size and
general features of the meeting.
Without particularizing, suffice it
to say, that from nearly every
township in the county were dele
cations conveyed in vehicles drawn
by every number of horses, from
one to thirty, every manner of flags,
and banners excepting black ones
with countless notices and devices.
The tallest kind Of hickory poles,
uniformed companies of men on
horse back, and elegantly dressed
companies of young ladies and
young gentlemen on horse back:
Together with q large procession
from the vicinity of Boston Indiana,
headed by the indominitable Levi
Druly with his huge Hickory
Chariot, Brass Band, Cannon &c.
In short consider all creation

idea of the size of the meeting. /
have the authority of many of the
Oldest inhabitants of our town for
saying, and think l speak truly
when 1 say, that it was the largest

display ever made by any party in

as the "Visible Admixture' bill,

as the "Visible Admixture" bill;
This "Visible Admixture" bill
no person having Q
visible admixture of African blood
in his veins should have the right
to vote. When the vote was taken
upon its passage every democrat
voted in favor of its passage and
every voted against it.
This vote thoroughly commits
the Republican party to the doc
trine ofnegro equality in the State
of Ohio. But again; Jacob Brink
erhof, one ofthe (Mis) Judges Of
the Supreme Court ofthe State OF
Ohio, who concurred in the decis-
ion above referred to, has been re-
nominated by the Republican par
ty and is now their candidate fol
Supreme Judge. Ifthey are not
in favor of "negro equality" why
do the Register men support jacob
Brinkerhof, whom they know il
in favorofnegro suffrage and whom
they know has held that negroes
can vote under our constitution, thu
plain unmistakable reading O
which precludes the idea of negro
suffrage. ..-.L
1t is useless for US to waste fur
Their time in noticing these ground
less assertions.
There are others of a like kim
in the same article, all of which ar
equally absurd and ridiculous, ant
which could be as easily and sue
cessfully refuted as those we hav
noticed. Our space is full.

The Register on Negro Equality.

We have never been credulous
enough to look for, or expect any
exhibitions of fairness or candor up
on the part of the conductors of
tho Republican political press. AS
q class we have long known them
to be unscrupulous and disingenu-
Gus in the extreme. But in most
cases, with all their improbity and
insidiousness, we find them possess
cd of some degree of discretion
low cunning or wariness, the pos
session of which induces them to.
deal rather in vague generalities
and high sounding rhetoric, thanin
directly denying or charging any
thing specifically.
Our neighbors of the Register
however, have forgotten or entire
" lost all the discretion they ever
had, and the result is that they, in
their last issue, have enabled us to
expose them, and show to our read
ers that our convictions in regard
to their unscrupulousness is correct,
and they have enabled US to do
this with but little trouble from
the fact, that having lost what dis
erection they have heretofore had,
they have left their tracks exposed
IN such a manner as to enable us to
follow their trail without difficulty.
