a Word 70 Gur County Convention

A Weird 10 duF County Conventions.
Our county and district conventions will
assemble in the course of the coming
month, for the purpose, among otherthings,
of nominating candidates for the Senste
and Houze Of Representatives of cur State
Lsgil4ture. We desire especially to urge
upon these conventions the necessity of TAX
ing q high and manly ground On the sub
jsct of negro suffrage. As we have said,
this is a question which must be decided.
It cannot be shirked, it cannot be lodged
It cannot even DO postponed. It demands
solution, aud it viii give US no rest until it
is solved. Believing this, we have not
besitsled to express our regret at the fail
ure of the State Convention to take action
on the subject. But It will do no good to
grumble. Let those who feel that the
State Convention has not done enough,
supplement its action In the county and
district conventions.
Itmsy be said thstlocsl conventions have
NJ business with, and no influence upen,
= national affairs. Even if this were true,
there is a topic upon which these local con-
ventions can exert a controlling influence,
and with which they must grspple. 1t is
the proposed amendment to the State
constitution, striking the word "white7
from The clause which regulates suffrage.
Whether we have or have not power to
Interfere with the franchise in Mississippi,
We have the right to regulate it in Ohio.
Whatever doubts are felt in regard TO the
admission ofthe Southern freedmeu 70 Eue
ballot-box, we have yet to meet the fair
and candid q who is opposed TO grant
ing the suffrage to the colored citizens of
Ohio, and especially TO these who have
borne arms in our defense. This is live
question, and we hope it will be discussed
in every county Union convention.
Let Cuyahogs county declare It's
sslf u~nequivocslly upon this subject
and nominate q Senator and Rep
resontatives pledged TO support in the leg.
islature a proposition to amend the
constitution in the manner suggested.
Let Lorain, Medina, Portage, Summit,
Trumbull, Ashtabula, Lake, GosugA Huron,
Erie, Luc5s, S5necs, and every other county
in the Slate, do the same thing. Let us
make our canvass on this issue. We as
sure our timid friends that this course viii
no. weaken our ticket 8 particle. It will
not defeat q single candidate-it viii not
drive sway q single vote. And a victory
on this issue will be worth a hundred
times more than 0 meaningless success, in
which no vital principle triumphs.
