How Wide--Awakes are Initi-
ated.

All who enter the Black Republican
Wide Awake clubs, it is said, have to
pass through certain initatory service,
and be submitted to the following cate
chism
Q.-Do you believe in supreme polit-
ical being?
Al do; the almighty niger
Q.-What are the chief objects of a
Wide Awake Society?
A.-To disturb Democratic meetings
and to furnish conductors for the under,
ground Railroad.
Q.-What is your opinion on the great
questions of the day?
Al believe Abraham Lincoln was
born; that he built hat-boat and split
three million rails.
Q.--Do you drink lager?
Al am passionately fond of that
commodity.
Q.-lfyou are admitted member OF
this society, do you promise to love the
nigger, to cherish him as you would a
brother, and clcave unto him through evil
as well as good report, and hate Demo
Gratis as long as life lasts and water runs?
ALL this solemnly promise to
perform, so help me--Abraham.
The candidate is then invested with
cape and cap; somebody gives him a slap
on the side of the head, and tells him to
be Wide Awake.

The Brcckiuridgers.

The friends OF BREcKiNRrDGE in Indi-
ana, and in the Reserve counties Of this
State, voted the Republican ticket at the
recent elections. This is carrying "cuss-
edness" to an extreme that we can find
no excuse for. If throughout the State,
they had stood up for the Democratic
ticket as the BREcxiNRlDcE men of this
and some other counties did Judge SMITH
would have been elected, and Indians
would now be Democr instead of g.,
600 majority against us. Those who op
dosed our State and county tickets may
be reckoned with the enemy, and we be
lieve nearly every one who voted the STATE
and county tickets will vote for the Doua
Las electors at the Presidential election
not because DOUGLAS is their ch oice but
because they want to defeat LINCOLN
They know every vote for BREcKINRlDeE
is half vote fer LINCOLN and they will
be caught in no such trick as contributing
to his election.

More Negro Outrages ut OberiIn

A correspondent writes us that young
white woman was brutally assaulted and
knocked down in Oberlin, on Sunday
night, by two negroes, at the very gates
OF the President of the College. An
alarm was raised, and the girl was wrest-
ed from their clutches before their helish
intent was accomplished. The ruflians
escaped. Our correspondent adds; ."How
long, Oh! Oberlin, wilt thou disgrace So
cety by furnishing harbor for such fe.

The above is the natural fruit of Re-
publicanism. If its policy prevails, we
shall have every town in Ohio an Ober-

groes from the South.
