The twelfta fes6l6tion declares thatsthe
Democracy of Ohio have re hing to do with
slavery; lnat it belongs only to the Southern
States, ard we would avoid the painful sub.
ioct if possible; but it is thrust uponAs BY the
Aboltionists aud conso!ldationists. who say
they have emsncipased and elevated. the
slaves, and,haYe only 10 issue their. decree
that he'shall have suffrage aud occupy an
equal place with the whites. We bolieve in
white superiority aud negro snbordination.
Our opponents wish to degrade our. predu
GERS aud laborers, as well as to degrade the
South BY 6laekeoldiers, black suffrage and
black Office holders. The Eestcaa, aud will.
dissolve her losing tariff and bank partner
ship with New England, and will approach
the South and fee trade, hard money and
State sovereignty and good Government. In
self defence, Also, We announce that not o
black vote shall evel be cast in Qa;o, and no
more black freedmen should be allowed to
settle among US. We Wall not allow our sut-
frage nor our society to be sunk under
ths weight of a race incapable OF se!flgoy-
ernment.
The next resolution Opposes General Coz's
scheme of setting apart State for the ne

powers of the State, and consolidate in the
Federal GovernVert absolute monarchical
power. '
Tne next declares We must resort to the
obvious means Of success. In the first place,
let US reject sll schemes for continuing the
waste and violence of the war, by which we
are going deeper into debt every day. Let
the army he disbanded and the negro soldiers
be withdrawn from the Southern Ststes. Let
Us reject the. schemes Of excluding any white
,nan fycm the polls, or from Office in those
States, by any subterfuge whatever; and let
u, not presume to dictate to any State, di
recsly or indirectly, nor continue, for a day,
any intrusion into their domestic affairs.
