The Thing - WORKING
The Dayton Empire, alluding to th'
rapid increase of negroes in that par
of Ohio, gives us the following:

all the hands are negroes.
A white man making one dollar 3 day
running q stationery engine in a certain car

Our Ohio contemporary ellsupon
these facts with spirit and indignation,
but before six months roll around it
will become used to them; and, if we
are not egregiously mistaken "eighty
cents" per day will be quite accepta-

reduced to competition with that Of a
runaway Or contraband negroes. In
the Southern counties ofPennsylvania,
bordering on Maryland, thereare hun
dreds of these contrabands now engaged
in harvesting, but there are none re-
ceiving the sum of "eighty" cents a
day for their services. Up as far as
Dauphin county, wherein is located the
Capital of our State, this runaway Ia

Here we have practical Illustration
of the meanness and the workings oi
Abolitionism. 1t is simple compound
of treachery, hypocrisy, meaness and
treason. Wherever you find a sniff
fling, cadaverous, lean and hungry
looking dyspeptic, turning up his pi'
Gus eyes, lamenting the condition Of
the slave, you may be sure he will, fol
gain, not only oppress the negro but
the white man; and if he has money tt
