Oh, No, NOT Grieved.
)hio State Journal says:

The Ohio State Journal says:
"THE OHIO STATESMAN is much grieved
that the Ohio State Journal should charge
Democrats with disloyalty."
THE STATESMAN is not grieved at any
such charge coming from the Ohio State
Journal; for It well recollects that the Ohio
State Journal on the 9th of March, 1861,
gave to the public an elaborate editorial,
the object of which was to show that the
Union had outlived its day, and declared
that "politicians and dotards may gabble and
weap tears of imbecility over The breaking
up of an unnatural compact (the Union) but
reason, JUSTICE AND HUMANITY will gladly
accept 1t as one Of those cheering evidences that
Providence is ,oorking good 10 the creatures Of
earth through the pro ess Of events;" that 'it is
heterogeneous Uni IN which has gone to the
country to be passed on, and schtch failing
further to subserve the ends Of its creation, IS
ABOUT TO BE CAST ASIDE, like the body
which an immortal soul has worn out and
thrown of, to seek new and more lasting
tene@ent;" that 'the enthusiasm of me
masses is factitious;' tbat "the Africanized
people OF the South have precipitated a
work which zoe (tlIey) believe adcanctng ctrih-
cation and the teachings Of Christianity 'oould
have, ere long, DEMANDED AT THE HANDS OF
THE FREE PEOPLE OF THE NoRrH;" and then
asked: ''Then, ,Oly should Jreemen deplore the
loss Of The Union9" f
This is language the Ohio State Journal
used ontbe 9th of March, 1861, and for
that journal now to charge the Democratic
party, which at that time was doing its ut
most to preserve the Union, and to prevent
bloodshed, with "disloyalty," is scoundrel-
ism so infamous that it can excite within
us no other feeling than that of loathing
contempt.

The STATE OF OHIO, EXECUTIVE DEP'T,l
-071r i''- COLUMBUS, Aug. 30, 1865.
WHEREAS. Our State has been greatly be-
reayed by the loss of its Executive head,
his Excelleucy, John Brough, late Cover
nor Of Ohio; and
WHEREAS, 1t is a fit custom for people,
40 afflicted, whilst bowling in all due humil-
ity to these heavy dispensations of Divine
Providence, to show also their sense of the
affliction, by some general recognition OF
that public value and private worth Of the
departed, which make that loss OF such gen.
eral concern and Of such deep feeling; and
WHEREAS, His singular integrity and
fidelity to all public trusts, his extraordi-
nary general abilities, and his still more
extraordinary capacity for administrative
duties and labors, in times OF trial like this,
do especially entitle the memory of Cover
nor Brough to some wide and deep recog-
milton on the part of his fellow citizens
during the solemn pageant of his funeral
obsequies.
Now, therefore, the people of the whole
State of Ohio are hereby respectfully, but
earnestly requested to cease from their
usual avocations and all secular pursuits;
to close their several places of business
andto devote the brief time between the
hours Of ten o'clock A. NJ. and three o'clock
Pm. of Friday, the first dayof September,
proximo, to grave and appropriate medita-
tions on this, their great calamity.
And 1t is furthermore hereby expressly
urged upon all members of the General AS
,sembly and other officers of State who may
receive this invitation, and can, with con-
venience, attend his funeral, to be present
on that most sad occasion. r7s 3go

General Geo. w. Morgan.

George w. Morgan, whom the Democracy
OF Ohio have just put upon the track for
the Governorship, Is capital nominee. He
is brave soldier, an accomplished scholar,
a high toned gentleman, and Democrat
always thoroughly loyal toits organization;
He has had much experience in political
affairs, both in the State and nation, the
latter of which he represented most credit
ably abroad, as its Minister to foreign
Courts. He served with credit and distinc-
tion in the Mexican as well as In the late
civil war. There is not a blelnish or flaw
upon his private character, His honor and
purity were never questioned. He, would
make q Governor of whom Ohio might be
proud.--St. Louis Republican. DO % noisio
THE Democracy. OF Guernsey county
have nominated Captain John w. Laughlin
for Representative, and Captain John VIII
Iiams Tor Treasurer. The soldiers are re-

Democrat as from Republicans. Who, we
ask again, Is the soldier candidate on the

All Right.

A correspondent, who signs himself ct.
A. M and whom we take to be the Prose-
cutting Attorney of Ross county, has COM
munication in the Scioto Gazette of August
20, advocating Negro Suffrage. That is
perfectly right. A few years ago the ed
itor of the Scioto Gazette went off into a
glow Of enthusiasm, and while under this
influence, he wrote: si5...s.aJ,.s .-o,.
nSouthern Ohio reaches out her hand to
the Western Reserve. One thought, one I'm
pulse, one heart dnin,dtes US all. The Slave
bower, in its proud aggressiOns, must be
STAYED. The people ia their majesty and
strength, have taken the matter into their
own hands, and woe to the pigmies that
stand in their way. Old parties are swept
away, and fogyism bends before the mighty
and irresistible avalanche OF public senti-
ment that is sweeping over the country.
Ross county Is at last redeemed, regenerated,
disenthraled. and stdnds proudly erect, clad In
the beautiful arnaor Of Freedom" .,
Inasmuch as the Ross county Republic
cans few years ago, according to their or
gan, were " regenerated" so far as to, reach
out their hands " to the Western Reserve
and in common to have "one thought, one
impulse and one heart" it necessarily fol-
lows that they are all in favor of Negro
Suffrage. The Reserve has boldly declared
for it-her candidates for the Senate and
the House of Representatives are instructed
to labor to have the Constitution of the
State so amended as to strike the word
"white' out Of it. Why, therefore, should
not sRoss county" Republicans, "clad in
the beautiful armor OF Freedom" likewise
with boldness espouse the cause of Negro
suffragep They are in favor of it. Thar
this there is nothing more true, or they
would not think Of supporting the Oberlir
candidate for Governor-General Cox.

Proceedings of the Lorain and Me
dina 'sUniOn" Senatorial COnyen-


li0n. t
On Monday the party that calls itself the
"Union" party of Lorain and Medina coun-
ties met in Convention at Grafton to nomi-
nate candidate for the State Senate. On
the 9Th ballot DR.. L. d. GRIswoLD was
nominated, when the following ensued:
DR.. Griswold's nomination was declared
unanimous, whereupon he was escorted to
the stand, and in an appropriate speech
thanked the Convention for their choice and
set forth the sentiments which he promised
would abide with him as Senator. They
were manly and worthy of our district
The Doctor reverted to his experiences In
the South during the war, with the slave
population, and gave it as his conviction
that they were worthy of and had well
earned the right OF suffrage.
The Doctor was followed by Col. Shurtleff
in splendid speech. The Colonel spoke
highly of the bravery and gallantry of the
colored troops, and also of their 10y atty and
worthiness of the ballot.
Judge Humphreyville took the same posi-
tion and urged that the rights of the color
ed man be recognized in this State, and
plead for the Union of the Republican par
ty, which he cOnsiderel as paramount to all
other issues at the present time. At the
close OF the Judges speech the following
resolution was passed by the Convention
with unanimity that showed how fully it
expressed their sentiments: aa.s.,,
Resolred, That we are in favor of the re-
peal of all laws, and parts of laws, which
make distinction between the Inhabitants of
this State on account of color; and the
amendment Of our State Constitution by
the erasure of the word whtte ,ohereper IL
occurs In that instrument. .o

LooAL.-A nice little story has Just
been related to us-shall we pass it along
to you, kind reader2 Well, If we must,
we must. 1t is stated that, not thou
sand miles from some place, there might
have been seen ON a bright May morn
ing, lying solitary and alone, a certain
cask, with symbolical and mystical
characters inscribed thereon. Presently
a man approached, aud then another,
aud several more. They came, they saw,
they conjectured, and finally concluded,
from what little knowledge, observation
and experience they had, that the cask
which lay before them contained whis-
ky. But the proof OF the pudding is in
the eating; therefore, 1t was impossible
to know whether the cask contained
whisky, and especially good whisky, I'M
less the contents could be tasted With
out making oath before any justice, as to
what they had reason to believe, they
proceeded at once to take the law and
the gimlet into their own hands. They
bored, they drank, they smacked their
lips, they calculated Pretty good whis-
ky, and expressed a settled purpose to
take another drink pretty soon. Mean
while one of the number said he began
to feel little sick at the stomach, and
/ presently another said he felt so too,
and finally they all concluded they
would drive in the plug tight without
further inhibition. In due time the
rghtCul consignee came for the cask,
And what, gentle reader, do you sup
pose it contained Thereby hangs the
tale, 1t was negro subject preserved
in spirit for dissection by the doctor
Not to be continued.
