~ynkthe last ashland Times there are about
VS. sixteen columns of reading matter-full two
ISL thirds of which relate to questions belonging
to the African. There is hardly a column that
may be said to be devoted to the interests of the
ns1 WHITE NAN. T.s SO
sSsas We put the question to the Times whether
e the white man in Ohio has any rights which
sss the Republican party are bound to respect p?
How is this?
- Under this continual sclamor about a race
eli with which, in Ohio, we have nothing to do,
-estes our Republicans Legislature are throwing down
ss the.safeguards Of the State Treasury, and in
4iting Bankers and Shylocks to return to the
81 cid battening upon the peoples taxes, from
--sa7 which they were driven by likewise enactments
of the last Democratic Legislature. Under
sfrs- q terrific howl over the suHerings of the
poor African, they pass their hands into the
asm Treasury and unlawfully seize five thousand
sg9I9z dollars upon which to entertain the cruel mas
tiers of these distressed niggersi Oh, Repub-
lcanism ! What a splendid cheat and fraud

that lie within the limits of the Constitution,
and that concern the interests of the People;
stGos but the Opposition subsist upon this agitation;

they acquire strength to crowd their

.sssa1a few years since, and except a little squad, of
extremists in Sullivan and Clearcreek Town
ships, there was not a man belonging to either
/. the. Democratic or Wing parties in the county,

reasonable doctrines of 0berlin with contempt

nj dscrus O.. MATIooK, general agent of Hathe
,s5sal Christian Anti-Slavery Society" appeared be-
fore an audience at the Town Hall; to expound
nod to them the Oberlin TRANSLATION of the Bible,
and to teach them that their Christian duties
were in conflict with the Constitution and laws
.bsn of our Fathers. The audience of Mr.. MAT
b6s LOCK was very small compared; with that of
sat Mr.. FAIRcH1LD, who lectured a few days pre-

and as though even our Republicans were
shrinking from the palpably Revolutionary
sitendencie of Oberlin doctrines

notes of the Speech of Mr. MATLocK; but
the whole thing is such a budget of %crudiiies
