COx,s Position.

We notice that some Of our Democratic
exchanges are inclined to interpret the letter
of Cox as being opposed to Negro Suffrage
We fail to discover anything of the kind in it
We have contended from the start that he
believes in the most ultra dogmas Of his party,
His letter ia intended ss q blind, as we'll as
the Abolition party intends to conduct the
campaign on the blind. The idea that a party
can ignore question while majority of it's
members advocate it, is utterly fallacious.
The leaders of the Republican party are in
favor of it-and the ouly reason they try to
ignore the matter is, becsu'e the soldiers are
opposed to it. We believe that just 40 sure
as the Republicans secure the next Legisla'
ture, Just so sure they will pass an act to
strike out the word sVhifs from the Constitu.
ton of the State of Ohio, ind If Cox is Gov
eruor he will sign the bill Let no man be
deceived. Plain questions have been asked
Cox bott by soldiers and committee OF
white men and negroes from Oberlin. He
thrusts the soldiers letters aside in contempt
and writes four or five columns Of an article
in answer TO 0berlin, composed of stuff that
few will read and less understand He quib-
bles and prevaricates to mislead. When the
nominee of the Democratic party is asked
whether he is in favor Of Negro Suffrage he
will answer promptly and cover the whole
ground with two letters-NO Fremont
Messenger.

General Lewis Cass.

We rarely see the name Of this dis
tinguished statesman and patriot in the
papers, but he "still lives" at the ripe
age of "a years. He resides on Jefferson
street, Detroit, in handsome modern
built dwelling, while his Oldest son oc-
cupies the old family homestead two
squares distant. Though afflicted with
the feebleness and forgetfulness naturally
incident to his patriarchal age, he main
tains better health and more active spirit
than could reasonably be supposed to be-
long to his time Of life.

The New York correspondent of the Phil

"The talk on Wall street, and for that mat

the Phoenix Bank defalcation, with the tragic

The following languagS, whose severity is
10 exact truthfulDess, is from the last number
of the Free Christian Commonwealth, strict
Presbyterian paper, conducted by an Asso-
citation Of Ministers"
The clergy Of the Protestant Church are
now the most bloodthirsty Of any class Of cit.
izens. They have been preaching gospel of
blood and despuction for four years. New
phRses of thought snd forms Of denupciaton
have taken possession OF the pulpit, and have
familisrized their hearers with manner Of
thought and sentiment which in old times
could only be found in The most abandoned
characters. This-is now the hight Of religion
--praiseworthy zeal in good cause. The
clergy, as far as the public can judge, are
more bloodthirsty than the generals or the
soldiers Several of the most eminent gem

derness of life, aEd TO their credit, in many
instances have exhibited magnanimily
which belongs TO true greatness of character.
But the clergy, whether in their pulpits or
on the platform, when they assemble with
their fellow-citizens, still howl for more blood,
and demand greater severity. This, too, is
done by them at q time when the country
could we'll afford to be merciful, and when
the masses OF the people, if they were permit
ted to follow their better instincts, would be
merciful; but the clerical leaders all agree
that Mr. Lincoln was permitted by Divine
Providence to be taken away in the fearful
manner OF death by assassination because be
was TOO nsercifR' On this they are perfectly
agreed. These clerical leaders differ on
