for newly imported NEGRoEs There
is no disputing the fact that, large num-
bers Of "contrabands" are being dis
tributed throughout Ohio, to the great
injury of the labOring classes, and un-
less the working men of the State CON-
bine to protect themselves and families
from the effects of this negro importa-
ton already developing itself in vari>
Gus places, the time is not far distant
when a conflict must ensue between
the white men and negroes for suprem-
acy. The two races cannot live to-
gether upon terms of equality = that
would be contrary to the laws of God
and man, one or the other must conse-
quently maintain the mastery; there's
fore, in order to avert all the horrors
of another rebellion, perhaps not far
in the distance, it is essential that the
negroes be kept in their present con-
dition. Self preservation requires
that the slaves of the South should not
be liberated at one swoop, if liberated
at all; the laws Of trade, commerce and
humanity and our relations and obligas
tions to the world, proclaim against
such measure, and yet, with all these
startling considerations forcing them
selves upon the minds Of rejecting
men, there are hundreds of our citizens
who profess PATRIOTISM and devotion
to the Constitution, the Laws and the
Union, who desire to make the sup
preston of this rebellion the grave of
slavery! All such are enemies to the
race they profess to have desire to
benefit enemies to the white race
enemies to trade, commerce, the world,
and TRAITORS to their own country
and government!
Like faithful sentinels upon the
watch towers of Liberty, the Democ-
racy, years ago, warned the people of
this nation against the very condition
of things which is now upon us, but
their warnings were needed not
Again, like guardian angels, the De-
mocracy warns the people against this
importation eff negroes, and especially
the labering classes, whose interests
and prosperity must be most seriously
affected by influx of "contrabands" to
compete with white men and reduce
the price of wages; if the warning
voice is needed not, the time will come
when laboring men will be very little
above the negro in a social and pecu-
mary view, and their families be redu-
ced to the extremes of poverty by the
reduction in the price paid for labor!
Does not every one of our readers
know the inclinations and habits of
negroes, and do they not know that
the more of such worthless, thieving
CUssEs we have in our State, worse
must be our condition, and knowing
these facts, will WHITE MEN hesitate to
protect themselves while they may
from being burthened with a negro
population from the slave States, stolen
from their nasters under the plea of
''war necessity" and quartered upon
the people of the North under the
same plea? If the voice of warning is
needed not, the white race will some
+, day, not far in the distance, find them
selves called to arms to protect their
rights and liberties, their families and
themselves from the NEGROES! This
may be laughed at by negro-loving
Republicans, but these same men, a
few months ago, hooted at the idea Of
a rebellion in the South, and promised
) that its suppression, should one occur,
would be a "before breakfast job!"-
We say, what we have stated, in the
event of the emancipation of the ne
groes of the South would be the nat
ural course of events, and it is impor-
tant that such consequences be prevent
ed by wise and just policy of gov
ernment, but if our rulers are insensi-
| bic to the welfare of the country and
the nation, the people must themselves
protect their own rights; or they will
not long have any to defend, and be in
| a worse condition than the slaves whose
| freedom is sought to be made the ulti-
matum of this war, commenced on the
part of secessionists to dissolve the
UNIoN-engage in by PATRIOTS to
protect the Constitution, preserve the
Union, and secure the rights Of all un-
der the government. Let the people
remember these things, and at the bal
llot-boxes record their verdict against
the policy Of Abolitionists, and the
importation Of negroes into our State!
