THE ASHLAND UNION, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 10

pervisots Of your districts present you
with that testimonial Of our regard, a no.
tice to amuse yourselves for o few days
with the noble recreation Of ntaking up
the shovel and the hoe," remember that
it is to a Republican Legislature that you
are indebted for this glorious privilege
Let sneering Democrats call the Home
Guards BRoUGH'spets-you are not COM
PEELED to admit them to a participation in
so glorious a labor, provided for you
alone.
Felton, Soliiers-You have endured
great priyations = you have achieved
great victorles-but it is doubtful il you
knew what you we're about. There have
been some who have tried to persuade you
that to maintain inviolate the Constitu.
tion-to preserve intact tho bonds Of un-
ion between the States, was tho great
mission upon which you went forth
When you better understand the dark
mysteries of our party, you will no longer
be deceived by such silly twaddle. You
will learn from our great teachers that the
Constitution was a covenant with the dew
il and the Union q league with hell. The
Republican party was a dispensation of
Divine Providence for the sins Of the peo-
pie. For ages the light of the world had
been hidden under ebony skins, For the
want oc the rich blood Of the Ethiopian
to give force and refinement to Caucasian
intellect all the political, philosophical
and moral mechanism Of the world was
fast losing its force and vitality. Your
true mission has been, like Moses, to
break the bonds of the captive and lead
the enfranchized Cuffees to that land Of
promise-Negro Superiority.
When you have learned fully to com.
prehend this momentous subject you will
perceive that your work is not yet accom-.
plished. In order that you may hereaf.
ter repose in security, under the protect
ing care Of Negro domination, you will
have to put down, and forever, the dan.
gerous fallacy Of the Democratic party,
that q white man is as good as q negro
In vain will have been your labor in res.
cuiDg from from slavery the African race
unless you secure to them the position as.
signed them by our party-the right of
ruling over us.
Satisfied, fellow soldiers, hat you are
ready and willing to resume your arms, at
any time, for the accomplishment Of so
grand a purpose, l beg leave to assure
you that in case you should be again call
ed to the field, I will most cheerfully
keep, on deposite, your bounty money,
and in the meantime am happy to inform
all soldiers that the Times will be furnish
ed to them gratuitously at the rate Of two
dollars and fifty cents a year. Insurance

NEGRO EQUALITY.

The Elyria Democrat, Abolition, comes
out squarely in favor of black suffrage
1t claims that our colored brethren have
more right to vote than "au ignorant
Dutchman." In referring to the Consti.
tuition of Ohio not permitting Negroes to
vote, it says:
GAN the laws and constitutions in chris
tendon cannot make a wrong like this
right and every good citizen should
make it his business TO see that all such
constitutional or legal distinctions-wrone
in the light Of every principle of equity
and j%ustice, should be Immediately aboi.
ished."
When an Abolitionist claims that Q
Niger is as good as he is, we have made
up u mind never to dispute the ques.
ton with him, for nine cases out Of ten
he will be right.
At Convention held in Elyria recent
ly, the following resolution was unani
mously adopted:
"ResOlued, That in the opinion Of THU
convention, sound policy and principles
Of justice demand that the elective fran.
chiso be guaranteed to the colored men o.
Ohio"
The Western Reserve is "sound" or
the Negro.

ORGANIZE

Democrats, says the Seneca AdUsrtt-
ser, the time is again approaching when
you will be called upon to meet the hosts
Of fanaticism and disturbers of the peace
of our country. You are well acquainted
with their object and organization. You
have read their history in the last four
years Of blood and carnage usurpation
Of power, disregard Of law and order, and
fragrant violations Of the Constitution
This is past-new issues are now being
brought before the people issues that
are Of the most vital importance to
their future welfare and happiness, and
it is there for necessary and proper that you
should be informed as to the one which
will give TO you, and to your country, the
most beneficial results. To do this, we
believe the most effective way is to organ,
'ze! Meet in your respective Townships

proper documents to read, obtain infor.

Republican neighborb on the issues be.

can to bring about a change in them,
and the country may again be brought
back to the peaceful, happy, and prosper.
GUS days enjoyed under a Democratic
administration. There is a better day
coming, and we believe it is near at hand.
The cloud which has obscured the sun
for so Icing, is already fringed with bis
golden light, and soon he will burst
forth brighter and more radiant that ev.
ever, to light us on to triumph and tran

Elyria, Lorain County, Ohio, is an ex-

Negro there ; love him dearly. The in

aught we know, sleep with them. There

To tax q farm worth a thousand dollars
$50, and exempt 500, 900 in a bond
Mr.. A.. has $4,000 invested in a grocery
store one week before the Assessor calls.
Mr., B. has $780, 900 in money. Mr.. A.
puts in his $4,000 stock on the Assessors
book, and is taxed $50 for il. Mr.. B.
puts his 500, 900 in bonds the day be-
fore he meets the Assessor, and thus es-
capes paying an honorable tax of three
thousand dollars. He also draws sevea
thousand dollars interest, making an in
crease of ten thousand dollars!
Why?
Because all despotio and aristocratic
governments seek to win the interest Of
the wealthy in favor Of the Government
against the labor of the poor.
Beware of a scorpion for be will sting.
The wealthy bordholders want the ne.
groes to vote, for with their money they
expect to control that vote hereafter.
If a poor man votes for negro suffrage
and is in favor of ~exempting the wealth
Of the bondholders he will find that he
has been working out his own damnation.
When an Abolition politician, who has
been twisting and hunting Office all the
days Of his life tells you that he don't
want Office, tell him hat he is a

That was when Democrats managed
