NEaHo INVASION OF OHIO.

Should the Abolition-Republican doctrine
of negro equality be sanctioned in Ohio by q
majority vote for Lincoln in November, an
unprecedented negro invasion of the State will
follow close upon its heels. The ignorant, dis
coutented blacks in other States and Canada
understand perfectly well that the Republicans
in Ohio are their particular friends, ready to
protect them from the fugitive slave law, and
to place them on an equality with white men.
Hence, they will be more anxious than ever to
take up their abode id Ohio, Upon the neWs
that that State has gone for s'Massa Lincoln.
Our Sta:e will then be invaded by troop
after troop of free negroes and rHnaRay slaves
from the South. Benevolent masters, eman-
cipating their slaves, will naturally comply
with their wishes, and send them to Ohio,-
Not only from the South, bit also from ths
North, still greater swarm Ief these black lo-
Gusts will settle down upon Ohio, aid ovetrdi
| it from the Lake to the River. -.
r. The negroes, chiefly fdgitives from the
South, are numerotis in Canada. They iare
generally poor, miserable, degraded half
starved set. They have been sent there by
the A Abolitionists of tho North, in order 70
place them beyond the reach of their Sonth!
ern owners The Canadians are getting tired
\ of them they are opposed to any more coming,
and threaten to expell those that are already
there In consequence of this opposition, but
few have been; sent there Of late. The mass
tOf fugiti4es have taken up their abode in Ohio.

first choice, yet he believed that Judge Doug

ing his convictions of right against prej udice
and fihaticsm at home, than any statesman
now living North or South, and the war now
waged against him by offceholders and seek
ers, frem envy and malice, reminded him ct

CoRwIN's SARCASM 1t is well known
that .Corwin was SO disgusted with Lincoln S.
nomination that he left the Chicago Conyen-.
tion and never took his seat in it again. In,
his speech here few nights ago, he devoted
at least one third Of his time to an. exposure
of the degeneracy of the times, when second,
third and fourth rate individuals, hardly fitted
for the merest petty local Offices, were taken
up and thrust before the people by polite al
Conventions for the most elevated positions in
the gift of the people. His whole picture. Of
the kiKd Of" a man that was selected for the
highest Office, in these degenerate days, was
so applicable to Lincoln, that the audience,
Democrat and Republican, really pitied the
unfortunate rail splitter, who was compelled to
retain his seat and hear all Corwin had to say.
Never, we suppose, was the torture more pain
| full to a VICTIM than Corwin's speech to Lin
coin. The moment 'Corwin concluded, Lin
coin fed the premises. One thing may be
set down as certain, Lincoln will never offer
l-Corwin a place in his Cabinet.-Spro,afezo

might be called upon to protect the people
against domestic violence, and writes the New

s. IF necessary to protect the people the army,
may be used to shoot down slaves; but if the
insnrgent slaves can be pacjfe1 by having
their freedom, the Executive may protect the

"That central idea, in our political opinion,
at the beginning was, and until recently con-
tinued to be, the equality icf men. And, al
though it was always submitted patiently to

matter of actual necessity, its constant work
ing has been the steady progress toward the
PRACTICAL equality Of all men.

doctrine of equality he included negroes, Mr..
