The Democratic Editors Of Ohio are now
laborinq under terrific attacks of Negropho-
bin ID literally eat, drink and sleep with
tn oolored persuasion. They roll the negro
as "a sweet morsel under the tongue" and
talk of little else. According to their vision
of the future, the, government is fast passing
away h0m the white folks; and after the 9Th
ofNovember the "Negro Invasion" from the
North and the South will be unprecedent-
ed and "a swarm Of these black locusts viii
settle down upon Ohio, and over run it from
the Lake to the River Asevidence that we
do not misrepresent or exaggerate, just read
the following, published as a leading editorial
in the Ohio Statesman of Oct. gath;
NEGRo INVASION OF 0HIo.-Should the Alb
olition- Republican doctrine Of negro equality
be santioned in Ohio by majority vote for
Lincoln in November, an unprecedented ne
gro invasion Of the State will follow close
upon its heels. The Ignorant discontented
blacks in other States aud Canada understand
perfectly well that the Republicans in Ohio
are their peculiar 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 in Ohio, upon the news that
that State has gone for 4" MaSsa Lincoln"
Our State will then be invaded by troop
after troop of free negroes and runaway 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, but also from the
North, a still greater swarm of these black
locusts will settle down upon Ohio, and over
run il from the Lake to the River.
The negroes, chiefly fugitives from the
South, ale numerous in Canada. They are
generally poor miserable, degraded, half
starved set. They have been sent there by
the Aboiitionists of the North, in order TO
place them beyond the reach of their South
ern owners. The Canadians are getting
tired of them; they are opposed 10 any more
coming, and threaten to expel those that are
already there. In consequence of this Oppo-
sition, but few have been sent there of late.
The mass Of fHgitives have taken up their
abode in Ohio, and already the blacks in Can
adaa are emigrating to this State.
Let but the election Of a Supreme Judge
opposed to the constitutionality and of course
the execution of the fugitive slave act and
in favor of negro suffrage, be followed by a
majority vote for Lincoln, and the negro pop
ulation of Canada will rush down upon US
like an avalanche. We warn conservative
men and Republicans who are not wholly
Africanized, in due season. If they want to
m Ike Ohio negro State, they can vote for
Lincoln; otherwise let them sustain the only
ticket that can and will defeat him in this
State. =. 81 ..--l
