Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1865-07-25
IRON The Louisville Journal
An Important Article.

from The Oiilcinnati Commercial. II Is, - we
personally know, the production of lead
ing member of'the Union Central State
Committee of Ohio, and was submitted to
the public after it had been the subject OF
official consultation at called meeting OF
the committee. The author of the article
was an Ohio Presidential elector on the
Lincoln ticket in 1860, after having con-
tributed largely to the nomination Of Mr..
Lincoln at the Chicago Convention. His
relations of personal friendship with Mr..
Lincoln enabled him to become fully ac-
quainted with the views OF chat eminent
man; and the following article, we can
safely state, meets with the approvalo the
present President of the United States. We
give 1t a prominent place in our columns
as being. a clear and reliable exposition OF
the views now controlling nine-tenths OF
the true men throughout the North in ref
erence, to, the questions involved, in, the
restoration OF the rebeHibus States. phe
question OF Negro Suffrage in those States
is beyond any power OF, Congress to affect
it, the States respectively having exclusive
controll over it. Such Is theview Of Pres
ident johnson, as clearly announced In his
proclamations authorizing the re-establish-
ment of civil power in the South, and this
r~N q
view is supported by an overwhelming
majority Of the eNorthernmasses. The fol-
lowing is the article referred to above:
