NEeRo ELoauENcE 1T seems that these are
the times that develop the eloquence Of the
negro as well as his military powers, The
Cleveland Herald, Republican PAPER, gives
some specimens Of recent darkey oratory In
Ohio. II says.
At meeting Of oolored people In Sandusky
recently, sable orator was holding forth on the
duty of the negro race to take up arms In sup
port OF the Government which had issued the
Proclamation of Emancipation. Said he:-
";Those who can't fght-the old men, the wo-
men, and the children-must stay down In dc
valleys dey are safe. But We will 60 up into
the mountain to eactflce."
Another dark skinned orator, whilst speaking
at Clyde at similar meeting, said: 1--WE know
what the price Of liberty is-it Is blood. Blood
is the price of liberty. A black man has got al
much blood as q white man, and We must pay
the price,"

In our Judgment the Government should

exactly right in its treatment OF the great
Ohio Copperhead. Perhaps Vallandigham may
be elected, but in that case the duty of the
Government is plain. Ohio should then be
treated precisely as other States have been, the
majority of whose people have gone of iuto
rebellion. Military power should be employed
to enforce allegiance and Military Governor
should be appointed 10 take control Of the State.
We are we'll satisfied such action would meet

maintain and defend their constitutional and

follow from such maintenance and defense, the
guilt, shame and disgrace will rest upon the

No free man Of Ohio, who deserves the name,

what ought TO be done with Ohio in case her

To the People Of Ohio;
An effort is being made to raise regiment
of colored men In our State; O camp Of rem
dezyous has been established at Delaware, snd
everything 10 now In readiness to receive
troops.
AS the law providing for the support Of fami
lies Of soldiers does not reach this regiment
it has been determined by its friends to raise
by voluntary subscription fund for that pur-
pose.
| have, therefore, respectfully 10 request ell
sho favor the success oil the effort TO raise such
a regiment, to contribute to said fund.
The money thus raised shall be distributed
by q committee consisting Of Ex- Governor
Dennison, DR.. G. Volney Dorsey, State Treas
urer, Qusrtermaster- General Geo. B. Wright,
and Captain R. Burr, U. S. QuartermaSter. II
is recommended that remittanceB be made d.
rectly to Dr.. Dorsey.
The Military committees Of the several coun.
ties are requested to give the matter their i'm.
mediate attention.
From present Indications 1t is quite certain
that at least one full regiment will be raised
within the coming thirty days, and If gener.
ous response shall be made to this proposition,
it is believed that second regiment may be
raised
Il may be proper to add, that our Stale will
have credit on its quota for oil colored troops
raised. DAVID TOD, Governor.

John Brough on Arbitrary Arrests.

JOHN BRouaH, the nominee Of the so-ealle'
''Union" party for Governor, In bis speech
Marietta, June 10, made, according to the Gin
cinnatI Gssstts's report, the following remark
On arbitrary arrests:
Bat you have another objection 10 this war
and thst ID this matter Of the arbitrary ares
of some men who have not been content will
thinking treason, but have been talking i
rather loud. There's been about half dozer
men taken down to Fort yette-perbapt
there is one In Dixie now. [Laughter.l Yor
say these men have been arbitrarily taken with
out warrant In the Consultation. Some legal
mouser has sat down and counted 1t over, and
has NOT found anything TO justify 1t. He has
found that they never expected any such state
of things, and therefore there Was nothing pul
into the Constitution TO meetit. Treason shal
consist of one overt act--talking is not an over
act. We must not forget that the fundamental
principle of all governments on earth places q
large discretionary power In the hands OF the
rulers of the land tor cases OF this kind. The
old legal maxim 10, that the laws are silent 10
the presence of arms. You have very little
cause to complain h@e-if you had been down
South think you would have had much more.
Mr.. BRoUoH in the above passage plays the
demsgogue to perfection. He states shat the
matter Of arbitrary arrests Ii made On objection
to the war. This he knows is not 60. The
objection IL, not to the war, but to arbitrary ar
rests per 90 as unconstitutional and Illegal
These, Mr.. BRouaH, like slavish demagogue
st.emuts 10 iustify. II is on this question, and
not on the question Of the war, that the gres
bodv Of the free people of Ohio take iesue with
him. Hs bas tbroWu down the gauntlet 10
defense of arbitrary power the people Of Ohio
will no. be allow in taking 1. up.
Mr.. BRoueH admitted that Ohio citizens have
been arrested, imprisoned, and one at least ban
ished the State, without warrant Of Cons!itu-
ton or law. Any objection to these arbitrary
proceedings he ridicules by calling the free man
who examines the Constitution and lave of the
United States and the Constitution and laws oi
Ohio, and finds nothing In either to Justify such
high-bauded proceedings, 90 legal mouser."-
