which is Right?

The Cincinnati Enquirer reads General Cox
a long letter on political ethics, charging
him with being "vague, indefinite and un-
satisfactory" in his reply to the question
put by the colored man Hale, of Oberlin, in
regard to Negro Suffrage in Ohio. 1t
says: .rl1 sIu'rC.g Ir.. ". ..- Un
This is very vague, indefinite and un-
satisfactory answer to plain question:. 1t
admits of but one word-yes or no. The
General showed but little frankness and
honesty when he thus evaded it. His in
terrogator was no wiser after his answer
than before" g.. ...sf e.r..st.r.4-
The OHIO STATESMAN, on the other hand,
in speaking of the same incident, says:
"In General Cox's answer there is neith-
er evasion nor equivocation. 1t is direct,
explicit, and the Negro Hale aud the en-
tire audience that listened to him. under
stood it only in one way, and that is, that
as the Governor of Ohio he will be in favor Of
bestowing on the colored men of this State
the right of Suffrage.

Reprinted from the Urbana Union. Feb 2e.l
1868.

In former years, the Democratic Party
made their State nominations on the 8th OF
January. But in this year 1865, the day has
gone by without notice. And in the same
years the Wings made their nominations on
George Washington day-which is now
here. On this 22d February, 1865, we NOM
mate as next Governor of Ohio, Geo. W.
Morgan, of Mount Vernon.
This is not meant to forestall the action
of party, but to promote the general well
fare. 1t is nomination fit to be made and
ought to suit all conservative men of what
ever name or party hue. There must be a
nomination made in the cause of Censtitu-
tional Union, whatever clamor may be rails
ed by the adherents and followers of as
cendant power. Under the pretense of re-
storing the Union and supporting the Con-
stitution we are in the midst of Revolution
in which the Congress is usurping the
powers of the States; and in which the
Government is becoming Government of
Proclamations and not of Law. The usur-
patton is to be met and resisted now and
always until the end shall be certain, that
Law and Liberty shall be restored-or men
with one consent will submit to Military
Domination. Throw your banner out and
on it let there be inscribed as our leading
motto: "For the States of the Union, with
Union of the States. A Republic and not
an Empire" Union, dug. %.

The State journal and Judge
eatr Thurman.

The State Journal snarls and snaps at
Judge THURMAN, because he, as Chairman
of the committee on Resolutions, reported
the glorious Platform that called forth,
from house crowded from parquet to cell
ing, expressions of the most sincere satisfac-
tion, and refers to him In connection with
other platforms. 1t is true that Judge
THURMAN has been honored before as the
Chairman Of committees on Resolutions, In
Democratic State Conventions, the duty of
which position he always discharged
well, as he invariably discharges any
work he undertakes. Judge THURMAN
never did, by word or action, do aught to
bring upon the country the terrible War
with which it was recently afflicted. Can
the editor Of the State Journal lay his hand
upon his heart and say that before God, he,
too, is guiltless? ia ns.f sT

Miserable Wretches.

There are miserable wretches in this
State who assume to be the teachers of the
people, who are in the habit of speaking Of
those men in the State who have ever been
true to their constitutional obligations, as
traitors; and because they did not affect to
believe that there is a "higher law" which
should be obeyed instead of the Federal and
State Constitutions, that they should be deni-
ed the respect, confidence and support ofde-
cent people. If it is the evidence of trea-
son to have always maintained that the
Constitution was entitled to their reverence
so long as it remained Constitution, then
is the Democratic party reasonable party;
otherwise 1t is not. ~

GenernI schenck nnd Mi. speech.

ESQ, Congressman from the Dayton dis
trict, and candidate tor United States Sena-
tor, before the Abolition Legislative eau
Gus, to fill the vacancy which will be occa-
stoned by the expiration of the term OF
Hon. John Sherman, addressed an audience
OF respectable size, on "Wednesday evening
of last week, at the City Hall, In this city.
Considerable effort was made TO get up a
meeting, and the hall was well filled. The
General appeared about eight o'clock, and
was well received by those in attendance.
He commenced his speech by eulogizing the
Union party of the country, and congratu-
lating it upon its important success. He
applauded the soldiers, and paid merited
eempliment to the gallant 73d, which he
said had been under his command. lie
then passed to the topics of the day. After
preliminary remarks, he stated that within
the past ten days he had held frank con-
versation with President johnson, and that
the President had Informed him that his
present policy of reorganization was only
an experiment, which Congress had ample
power to brush aside, and that he would on
ly allow the people of the South to recon
struct Government by electing such men as
he deemed fit, and that he cited the recent
annulment of the election at Rich
IuOUu dS VI hO
In the future. The General then stated that
s'Congress would keep the Southern States
out Of the Union, until they adopted poll
CIV that would giue equality TO dU." That
"they would not only be compelled to adopt
the pending amendment to the Constitution
of the United States abolishing slavery, but
that before they will be allowed repre-
sentation on the floor of Congress, they
will be required to adopt another amend
ment (Which he pledged himself to present
to Congress) abolishing the three-ffths
rule, and providing for representation on
the basis of votes instead of population.
He said he would propose this for the par-
pose Of forcing the Southern States TO do justice
to their black populations" by enfraDchizing
them, giving the inference that the South
1 could not afford to loose the representation
In Congress which her black population
would entitle her to. And he further re-
marked: "pe Of Ohio can aoeH afford TO gtUe
the right Of suffrage to our too dozen negroes,
If the South extends IL to her too mtIiton." g
The General argued these propositions at
length, taking the most radical ground in
favor of negro enfranchisement. Our Ross
i county Republicans will hardly have the
impudence, in the face of this speech, to re-
assert that Negro Suffrage is not the issue,
when their candidate for the highest office

GENERAL MoRGAN's Division, which was
recently stationed at Cumberland Gap, has
reached Gallipolis en- route for Western Vir-
ginia. This Is fine body OF men, and their
services in Western Virginia will no doubt
prove of great service to the cause. Our
troops have already commenced moving up
the Kanawha, the rebels having skedaddled
from there early last week.
General Morgan, as scholar and soldier,
occupies high rank, and has every way
shown himself worthy of the high encomi-
ums passed upon him by Gems. Taylor and

f" Characteristic NHisrepresenta-
Ni0m.O N.fI


The Cleveland Leader accuses THE OHIO
STATESMAN of characteristic misrepre-
sentation" by assuming ito quote General
Cox to sustain Its assertion that the Rebel
lion was caused by the encroachments Of
the Republican party upon the Institution
of slavery in the States" The STATESMAN
did not assume ''to quote;" 1t did 'quote
General Cox to sustain its assertion" touch
ing that matter. 1t stated that the speech
1t quoted from was General Cox's Oberlin
speech, as reported to the Ohio State Journal
In that speech, as thus reported, General
Cox said:
ave believed that In time we should sue
ceed; that by girdling the tree we might
destroy the evil. But the people fine S0nsh
scw as clearly as ourselves the tendency Of our
action. IT WAS NOT BECAUSE OF THE ELEC-
TIoN OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN THAT THEY
RESOLVED ON NEW sTEP; BUT BECAUSE
THEY SAW WHERE THE PRINCIPLE WOULD

language? Does 1t make out Of it that the
South undertook to withdraw from the
Union because LINCOLN was elected Presi-
dentp II the language is in any way suscep-
tible OF any such construction by any sane
man, we will cheerfully confess that we
were guilty "of torturing" this Language"
''into something General Cox never thought
of, and which his words will not justify"
This is just the sort of " "sophistry and mis-
representation with which "for weeks the
columns of THE STATESMAN have teemed"-
all from the force Of habit" we admit
and none other. If the editor of the Leader
is in doubt as to the real meaning General
Cox wished to convey in the aforesaid Ian
guage from his Oberlin speech he should call
on the General to clear it up in three Of
four column letter. Meanwhile we shall
insist that the testimony of General Cox
contained in this quotation makes liars ou
of all who have said, who now say, or who
hereafter shall say, that the South under
took to withdraw from the UNION simply
and solely because LINCOLN was elected
President in 1860. i.-. '.t'
