Negro Immigration into ohio.

Suppose that the contemplated emancipation
should be inaugurated successfully seven or eight
hundred thousand negroes, with their hands reek-
ng in the blood of murdered women aud chill
dren, would present themselves at our Southern
border, demanding to cross into our State, as
OhiOs share of the freed sleves-seyen or eight
hundred thousand negroes, without money, with
out food, and without personal property of any
kind, who in virtue of natures law were com
PEELED To eat and be clothed. Then would come
the conflict between the white laborers and the
negroes. The negroes would enter into such
competition with the white laborers that the lat
ter would have to abandon the field of labor
here-make way for the negroes-or maintain
their ground for waging war on the negroes that
would result in driving them from the State, or
in their determination. lt was hard to compel a
white man who earned seventy five cents day to
contribute twenty five cents of that sum TO be ex
pended in schemes to buy the freedom of the ne
groes. lie won't like that The fanatics claim
that these schemes are prompted by philanthropy.
Carried out, they would end in the death of the
negro. If it possible to colonize the negroes
in Central America, where il is proposed to
colonize them, they would starve; and if eman-
cpated and not removed from the country, their
determination was sure to follow.-Er Senator
Allen at Chiiiic0the, Oct. 4th. 1862.

The PEOPLE SPEAK.
ABOII1ONISM SLAUGHTERED.

We believe that no election will be hailed BY
the people of Indiana with qualification.
generally, than that which has just transpired. 1t
is evidence that the heart of the people is right
and that deep reverence for the Constitution
and the Union of the fathers of the Republic still
lives. Indiana heads the column of the conserva-
tive States. Alike she has set her seal of con
demna:ion upon Abolitionism and secessionism.
Never has been there political triumph achieved
under more adverse circumstances. The people
have had TO contend against the immense patron
age Of the National and State Administrations,
and all the influences which corruption could
bring 70 bear. Every effort bad also been made
TO bring reproach upon the Democracy and to
impugn their patriotism. The 9Th Of January Con-
venton was pronounced by the Republicans and
their allies nest of traitors" and every term
of reproach was used against them that their in
gently could devise. They were charged with
being sympathizers with the rebellion and enc
mics to the Government. "Butternut" Democ.
racy was the last coinage 10 give expression to
the party hate and malignity Of their opponents

the Democracy have triumpbed. gIoriously tri-
umphed. IL is not a mere partisan victory. IL

termination Of the people to maintain
constitutional liberty. the freedom of opin-
ion, of speech and of the press, which
have been trodden under foot by those
whose highest duty il to maintain these
birthrights OF the American citizen. The YER
dict OF the people Indiana inspires courage and
gives hope for the future. Ii lifts the weights OF
terrorism which have repressed the voice of a
free people God he praised. The voice of the
people is the voice of God.
From the returns thus far received We can
claim the election of the Democratic State ticket
by fifteen to twenty thousand majority, and a
decidid majority in the Legislature. Law. CRA-

The President AND THE PRocLAMATIoS.-
Since the war commenced nothing has done so
much TO discourage enlistments as the last two
procamations issued by Mr.. Lincoln himself
one of them asserting freedom all through the
South, and the other establishing martial law
despotism all over the North. Recruiting has
fallen off full seventy five per cent. since these
procla were issued. Yet nobody believes
that Mr. Lincoln ought to be shot or sent to Fort
Warren or any other Bastile, for the simple rea.
son that nobody believes he meant to discourage
enlistments.- Prouidence Post

How the Government throws away
Money.

1t is source Of wonder to some how the ex
penses of the Government SO enormously
heavy The following. which we take from the
Washington correspondent of the New \ orll
Express, throws some light upon it:
The army subsistence stores are now subjected
to a heavy draft to feed the hordes of fugitive
slaves from adjacent counties in Maryland and
Virginia. They are daily, even almost hourly
arriving here. and if the drain continues in any
increased proportion, numerous evils will occur.
Maryland all be nearly depopulated of them
and Congress will have TO make an increased APP
preparation of army subsistence to keep the
wretches from actual starvation. Petitions are
already being circulated in Maryland sor a repeal
of the late obnoxious law, and it would be well
worth while to make slavery again an institution
here, although the newly created freemen may
not again become bondmen by its operations,
still by slavery again becoming institution, il
will prevent the great exodus of negroes from
Maryland and Virginia here, and prove essenti-
ally beneficial to both States well the Dis
