For Governor of Ohio,
GEN. GEORGE W. MORGAN,
OF KNOX COUNT

Reprinted from UEBANA UNION of Feb. 22d, 1861
In foimer years, the Democratic Party
made their State nominations on the 8th
of January. But in this year 1865, the
day has gone by withoutnotice. Andin
the same year the Wings made their
nominations on George Washington day
which is now here On this 22d Feb.
1865, we nominate as next Governor of
Ohio, Geo. W. Morgan, of Mount Vernon.
This is not meant to forestall the ac-
ton of party but to promote the gener-
al welfare. 1t is a nomination fit to be
made and ought to suit all conservative
men of whatever name or party hue
There must be a nomination made in the
cause of Constitutional Union, whatever
clamor may be raised by the adherents
and followers Of ascendant power. Un-
der the pretense of restoring the Union
and supporting the Constitution 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 a Government of Proclama-
tions and not of Law. Theusurpation 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 oul
leading motto. For the States of the
Union, with Union of the States-A Re
public and not an Empire"
The above nomination has been ratified
by the Union-Democratio State Conven
ton at Columbus, Oath August, 1865
The name of Morgan was the only one
presented for the Office of Governor anG
it was adopted with Jealous alacrity. Thc
choice of Lieut. Governor, Judge Lang
of Seneca, was a very happy one. Al

Who Repealed the Black Laws ?

THE Ohio State journal (Aug. 26)
has the following:
The Democratic Platform demands
a law prohibiting the settlement of ne
grOes in Ohio. Who repealed the Black
Laws which were upon the Statute books
from 1904 to 1892"

aDon't be Troubled in Your con.cIsDoo...i'

"Don't be Troubled in Your Consciences. !"
On the 10th August, 1866, a reception
picnic was given at Lancaster, at
which Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman
made speech which contained these
words: When the rebels ventured
their all in their efforts to destroy our
Government, they pledged their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honors to
their cause (O the Government accepted

The people can forgive much to the
man who had the courage to reject the
profered hand of a Secretary of War;
but they are not yet quite ready to vote
for Freedom of property under "au-
thOrity" of an "agent." What the

An Incident.

AT the late State Convention of the
Democratic Union Party at Columbus,
there was an incident, which had an i'm
posing air and produced a strong effect
on the audience. The Committee on
Resolutions came in at 8 o'clock, while
the Convention we're discussing the order
of nomination. There was instant still
ness and when the committee appeared
upon the stage, while the chairman ad-
vanced to the front, the committee with
out preconcert, stood in a line behind
him, as if to give force to the chairman s
declaration, that the resolutions he was
now presenting had been unanimously
concurredin by the committee. They re-
manned standing when the resolutions
were read. Every one present seemed
to feel the imposing force of the simple
and spontaneous incident.

The Bondage Tax,
THE Ohio State Journal (26 August
has this language:

THE Ohio State Journal (26 August
has this language:
Now Judge Thurman, Judge Ranney, or even
Mr.. Vallandigham, is lawyer enough to know
that the federal government, in seeking these ad-
vances of money by the people, having stipula-
tad that the moneys so invested" should not he
subject to national, State or municipal taxation,
and the moneys having been " so invested" on
this express stipulation, neither Congress nor the
State Legislature possess the illegal or cOnstitu-
tional powel ITO do what the Convention resolved
was their immediate duty" without first and
fully paying off such Indebtedness; that it is not
payable for several years to come even ifthe gov
ernment had the money in the Treasury. We
have no doubt that the money will be faithfully
applied so soon as it is available, and the govern
ment maintain its fair fame, provided that South
ern rebels and Northern demOerats are not en-
abled, by their combined efforts, to break down
its credit.

OUR POLICY IF SUCCESSFUL
And now, Mr.. President should it be the
viii of the people to confde the affairs Of the
State to the care Of the Democratic party,
what is to be our policy2
Believing that governments are instituted
not for the benefit OF party, but for the pro
lection and common good of the whole peo-
pie, the Democratic party will be equitable
and just in the administration Of public affairs.
Magnanimity is good policy in peace as in
war, and party incapable Of maguanimity
is unworthy Of being trusted with power
One wrong does not justify another and be
is an unwise politician who would demand
public vengeance for private injuries Our
only desire is the maintenance of constitu-
tional law, SO that the blessings of civil Iber-
ty may be secured for ourselves, and for our
fellow citizens Of all parties. And should the
people Of Ohio call me to the performance ol
the responsible duties Of the chief magistrate,
it will be my earnest study 10 discharge the
obligations incident TO that position, with
strict impartality; and to the full extent o.
my official ability to secure the rights of civil
liberty to every citizen of the State Ours j;
land Of law, and the magistrate is not less
bound to respect its provisions than is the
private citizen and if he violates the funda-
mental law which he is sworn to support, he
should be held to q stricter accountability
than he who assumes no such additional OBJ
legation.
We are entering upon one of the most i'm
portant political campaigns ever known ii
this or any other State. The question has
been asked me what are the prospects? ? Car
we succeed2 It has been my fortune to see
many an engagement on the battlefield but
this is the first time in my life that I have
been put at the head OF civil column; and

forces without being able to predict victory

of this contest WELL I tell you that the NOR

will do your duty. I have spoken Of the gal
liant men who went forth to sacrifice life and
limb in defense of the Constitution, and I'm

were thus battling in the field there was an
other army at home, ofcivilians, patriotic and
devoted to the principles of the old flag, bat

want is for these two armies to join hand.
and hearts and beat down on the mongre
hordes. I wonld say to soldiers and civilians
be friends; let no petty jealousies mar our
glorious cause. Remember we are bretherr
and friends, and upon US, soldiers and citizens
rests the well being OF this land.

Jeremiah clemens.


Hon Jeremiah Clemens, whose death at
his home in Huntsville, Alabama, OIL the
2lst inst, We hsvs already announced, was
horn in the town in which he died, Dec.
Is. 1914, and VS. consequently IN his fifty.
first yssr at his death. His first official
position was United States Attorney for
tbs Northern Distries of AlAbAmA, to which
he was appointed in 1888. In 1888, 1910
and 1874 he was elected to the State Legis-
lsture. In 1912 he went TO Texas - Lieu
tensnt Colonel, having raised . company
Of volunteer troops. On his returnh he wis
again elected to the Legislature in ls4S-A
in the latter year he also served As Pres
identiGl Elecsor. InI84s he was appointed
Governor of the Civil and Military De-
psrtment Of Purchase in Mexico, which
position he held until the close Of the war.
From ls49 to 1853 he represented Ala
bsma in the United States Senate and
was again q Presidential Blector in 1856.
Mr.. Clemens was q member Of the Cen
vsntion in Alabama which votsd the State
out of the Union, but protested against its
action. BE subsequently, gave way to the
popular tide setting 80 strongly against
him. and for q time accepted Office under
the bogus ~Confederacy. In 1854, however,
he had returned 70 his former allegiance,
and in a letter addressed TO his fellow citi-
Gems, warmly advocated the reelection
of Nj. Lincoln and defended his policy
He lived long enough to see the triumph
of the principles he seemed to have really
at heart although he permitted himself for
Z time to act contrary to their dictates.
Mr.. Clemens was somewhat known IS an
author, having published two novels before
the war, and within 3 few months having
given to the public q tale of the Rebellion,
entitled GTobiss Wilson" This was in
tended IS the first of series illustrative Of
the course of affairs in the South under the
-si-n Of Iafraraon Davis.

This amendment places the r~estric-
ton upon the franchise exactly where
II ought TO be. It makes intelligence
and not color the qualification of a
voter. 1t has bean remarked that the
only ground for apprehension in re-
gard to the peTmsnency Of u Institutions
lies in the ignorance Of q portion Of oGf
citizens who are entrusted with the ballot.
The tact that a large portion of the black
people of the United Ststes are totally des'
titute of education, is urged as an argument
against admitting them to sunrsge. a
provision like this strikes at the root of thC
objectien, and at the same time takes away
the ballot from q class Of whites whose ig
norance renders them unfit to act as elect
ora We would like to see q provision like
this adopted by every State legislature, AMI
