His Case Needs Attending To. d
The editor Of The Scioto Gazette has been
much disturbed BY some Democratic editors
calling his attention to the fact that his
party is determined confer suffrage upon
the Black men. And the editors who have
done this disinterested service are accused
of being t'tlemagogues--poor fellows who
have had 'higger on the brain so long that
the disease is mapifestly incurable-7are la
boring with all their power to make polit-
icat capitallout of the question by pander-
ing TO" Tong Standing and deep-rooted
preju1ices. They, assume, as an establish
ed principle, that every man who don't
want the negro enslased, does want them
made socially and politically eq4dl ,oith the
White race, and upon this they dilate day
after day and week after week. Some Of
these creatures Gdon't inow any better
they are, to be pitied,"',. =, d,.o5,,, -
Now, If the editor Of The Scioto Gazette
wishes it to be understood that his party
do not want to make the Black race "politi-
cally equal with the White race" he must
be enveloped In the most densepolitical ig-
norance; and, with a view to enlighten-
ment, we turn him over 10 the editor OF
The, Cleueland, Leader, who insists that, the \
vital, living question of the hour is Negro
Suffrage; or to The Portage County Demo
crat, which declares that "General Cox,
when he takes the stump and goes before
the people, will doubtless enlarge the plat
form-will be himself the people platform
will not fail to declare the whole counsel
of freedom and humanity-wi not be vii

viii show that he is prepared to clothe
themiwtth the egis of self-protection, the
elective tfdhchise.1 In SO doing he will show
himself to- be the man for the people, and
will become theirtpopular idol" Or to The
Mdsaadng Register, a journal published only
a few miles from the town of Warren, the
residence of Gen, Cox, which states that
Gen. Cox .sis at this moment an ardent aduo-
cate of5tee s1lbrdge,7 and is anxious that care
should be taken to elect only such men to
the Legislature who are in favor Of this
question. Itasserts that ''the Union party,
as represented by the press and public
speakers. have taken as decided grounds in
its favor as the Democracy have against it,
If the Abolitionists Of the Reserve do
not send missionaries down into old Ross,
their party friends, there may remain in ig-
norance of the fact that Negro Suffrage is
the vital, living issue of the hour. It is a
good missionary field for an advocate of
that. doctrine to labor in, There were In
that county in 1860 something over nine
hundred more Negroes than in all the Re-
serve counties put together; and If they
can only succeed in making voters out Of
them, the Abolition majority in Ross will
bemade large and permanent. l0 fnii9ir
