card from many Of the said employees and
a number of others of the best citizens of

that charge. We ask any candid man If
any of the stories of the Pcpu5iicm are en-

TUESDAY next the Gubernatorial cleo
ton takes place in Ohio The enthusiasm
for Vallandigham is intense and he bids
fair to sweep the State by majority OF
fifty thousand The freemen of Ohio feel
the importance of the contest they are
straining every nerve to maintain their
rights. They feel that. if they do not de-
mand and receive free and fair election
now, they never need hope for one, and an
mated by the spirit of patriotism which
will never lorsake them, they are resolved
to fearlessly declare their rights and I'M
flinchingly maintain them. We look for
good account from Ohio, and Indiana
vote, we trust will not be less cheering.

THE NEGRO Equal TO THE WHITE
MAN.

The Abolitionists having abandoned the
false pretence set up at the commencement Of
the war--that it was for the preservation of tbe
Union, the restoration of law and order, and
the defence Cf the Government-and planted
talr upon the issue of negro equality and
universal freedom, the question involved mar.
rows down to avery small point whether
they shall compel the white man to degrade
himself IN his own estimation, and, per conse-
quence, in the estimation of the world. or
whether nobility and self respect shall tri.
umph.
1t would be folly to attempt to prove that
negro is in any way inferior to an Abolition
ist that point is settled, decidedly in favor
of.the negro, by their own acknowledgment.
An argument might much more readily be
sustained in favor of negro superiority for
certainly every eleyating principle of manhood
is lost to him who places himself, his family,
&c, on the lower level. But We cannot con-
ceive the possibility Of the Abolitionists being
able, through the whole power of the Admin
sltration is with them, in forcing the am BIZ
tious, erterprising, intelligent American of
Caucasian descent to the debasing leYe of
| the negro.
The restoration of Government, the enforce
ment of the laws, the supremacy of the Con-
stitution, and the perpetuity of the Federal
Union, was worthy of patriotic sacrifice for
the success of which every honest man and
patriot most devoutly prayed. Under this
broad banner thousands of men rallied to the
call Of the Administration. But was this the
true issue then ? Is it the issue now2
Passing events clearly separate the pretext
| from the reality. There has been no change
of purpose. 1t was from the first as it is now.
| If not, will it be said that the preseerva-
tion of the Constitution and the Union has
now been Decessarily abandoned after so great
sacrifice OF life and treasure, for mere cru
SADIE against slavery, and for the elevation of
the negro TO the fraternity of white men2 Or
must it be written upon the pages of history,

The Home Life of Woman.

" A woman's work is never DONE" said
rank and file against the wall, and offered il
her neighbor Mr.. Jones. In performing this
hosptable action, Mrs. Brown called the
ghost of smile to her face, and in the care
worn features could be seen traces of beauty
and sweetness that TING and trouble were
taking away. She resumed her scat, and
while rocking the cradle wearly proceeded
to pare, quarter and core the apples in the
pan beside her, while she discoursed in this
wise to the strong, hearty-looklng farmer who
sat opposite.
"No, John isn't in, Mr. Jones. He's gone
to the village to hear about secession-some-
| thing or other. 1 can't keep track of it, I'm

"You mean to lay you amt patriotic don't

how, suppose little odds to you whether
Major Anderson holds out or not" Mr..
Jones said this in a wondering, good-natured
way.
"Now, look here, neghbor," and into Mrs
Browns pale cheek a faint crimson crept and
wavered uncertainty, then stationed in the
accustomed place Look here, neighbor,
you know that hen of ours-that speckled
one, that's SO famous for raising chickens e

what she eats, or how heavy the rain pelts
down upon her, and isn't afraid of anything
tor the chickens sake. Well, somehow,
| think am like the poor old hen."
Mrs. Brown dropped the knife and bent
over the cradle a moment. Farmer Jones
didn't notice the tears that fell upon the ba-
by's cheek.
"You see, neighbour" the woman went on,
"when my heart and hand were full of tho'ts

MY FIRST AND LAST COURTsHIP.

When was about thirty years of age, |
took it into my head to get spliced to some
awful purity gal. Well, there was farmer
in our neighborhood who had three daughters,
and kinder took a shine to the youngest
one. She was awful smart now, | can tell
you, but the old man was in the way, he was
an awfu. cross old chap. So sat down to
hatch up some way how should get her,
By-and by thought struck me there was to
be a ball down to Jake Bent's and I thought
I'd ask Poleyan to go to it with me. So that
night I went down and asked her if she
would 90 with me. / thought by that way l
could get her. She said she would 60, So l
went home as tickled as q monkey up an ap-
pie tree.
Well, my sister Betsy made me bran new
pair of buckskin trousers to 60 in, and rile

fashion and should wear 'em. So 7 gin in

GEN. NEAL Dow.-Our readers are we'll
acquainted with the name of Neal Dow, toe
author of the Maine or maniac liquor law
Neal of late has become ambitious of figuring
in the "soeer Iine," and being one Of Lincoln's
fast' friends the latter made him Briga-
dier and sent him to New Orleans, where he
is distinguishing himself as a plferer of silver
ware. The late news from that quarter re-
presents that Gen. Dow, has been cited to
appear before the sixth District Court of New
Orleans, Judge Howell, to answer the charge
of stealing silver ware to the amount Of up
wards of $1,000; his accuser being Bradish
johnson, native of New York. Dow, it is
stated, admits the robbery, and tries to JUS
tify it on the ground that he supposed the
victim was secessionist.-Er.

E We learn from the Boston papers,
that the "Americaus Of African descent" in
that vicinity are not satisfied with the propo-
sition to form them into separate military
organizations under white officers. They
claim that it makes too great distinction in
point of equality, which they will not submit
to. If equality is the point to be gained in
this war, they demand that it should be re-
cognized in the army. In this, however, they
seem TO forget that the white soldier might
object to such an amalgamation. In this
reighborhood, there has, SO far been no effort
to procure negro recruits, that we have heard

0, for the glorious times of old
(For white mems lives were priced, I'm told,)
When this, our land, was young;
And oft I've I've heard the aged tell,
Q, how my heart would pant and swell
10 hear the wondrous words which fell,
From each loquacious tongue.
I've heard them tell how when our land,
Was by Wars desolating hand,
Stricken long, long ago:
Columbia had one gallant son,
Who led our patriot armies on,
The lovd and honored Washington,
The noble, brave, and true.
He thought it not beneath his state
Though he was noble, good and great,
To seek with prudent care;
To save the lives of those he led
Alas! would this might be said
Of those who at our nations head,
Preside with kingly air.
And have read on History's page
Of statesmen giftet', wise and sage,
And men Of mental vigor;
Who seem to value white men high
As negroes; nor wished them to die,
Or suffer meath horrid sky,
To llberate the Niger.
All many ball hath others slain,
Than those who on the battle plain,
Have yielded life and all.
For onward yet each ball will speed,
And cause the hearts at home to bleed,
And break to think their loved ones dead,
All stricken by one ball.
Think they of this, who ceaseless prate
Of the poor bondman's hapless state
And severing kindred ties ?
0, if our leaders only knew,
That we can love our kirdred too,
As we'll as though of ebon hue,
Sure better days would rise.
