The Profits Of Omce.

The Republican Administration pays its,
office-holders with lfberality and prodi-.
gality not only unknown in the past history
of the country, but astounding even in
royal and imperial Europe. One of our
Republican exchanges, the Philadelphia
Inquirer, thus notices the appointment OF
Preston King to the Office of Collector of
New York. 1t says: ~ 1o .-, r' -
'The Office is supposed to be the most lu-
crative one within the gift OF the President.
Simeon Draper is understood to have real
lied from it in an entirely legitimate way
nearly hundred thousand dollars in less
than year. In ordinary times it is worth
about thirty thousand a year." -roi- sfH
lOne hundred thousand dollars from one
office!--all legitimate profits lin one year !
Who would not be a Republican patriot at
such a magnificent price? s. 40
There are seven Major Generals, glitter
ing in gold lace and stars, who have recent
ly been appointed to take charge of few
thousand troops in New York and New
England. These Major Generals get six or
seven thousand dollars year, and have al
so with them an expensive and numerous
staff in each instance. About the only hus-
iness of them all is to drink, play billiards
and gallant the ladies. Yes, they have one
other duty, which is thus stated by the
Rochester IN. Y) Union and Advertiser :IgJii
''Six Major Generals of volunteers, un-
der the Department Major General, who in
turn is under the Grand Division Major
General, all to remind the good people OF
New York, New Jersey and New England,

Joshua--is still in existence, though the re-
bellion is dead" - u 10 glIJq ~ o gQi gGV

The Boston Fanatics.

The New York Herald thus pays its re-
spects to the Boston fanatics, to which
school General Cox belongs: H
The policy of the Boston fanatics, which
Is the continued exclusion from Congress
of the now excluded States until they shall
have granted the right OF suffrage to their
blacks, will, from present appearances, re-
suit in nothing but mischief and disasters
to both races and both sections, socially,
politically and financially. In forcing now
this concession of Negro Suffrage upon the
Southern whites, just relieved from the
laws and usages OF slavery, we can hardly
look for anything else than violent politi-
cal agitation between the whites and blacks,
resulting in such discords and disorders as
will stay the hand of industry, and leave
the Southern States delnoralized, disorgan-
lied, unproductive, impoverished, and a
burthen upon the North. Start them upon
this road to ruin, and to ruin they will go.
Nor will the Northern States escape from
these fearful consequences; for, with the
increasing pressure of our taxes and ma
tional debt, we apprehend that bankrupt
cy, reputation, general acknowledgement
national disgrace will be apt to follow, only
to be finally solved in a regular military
despotism.
These are the blessings to which the Bos-
ton Abolition fanatics are endeavoring 10
lead the country. We have had enough of
them. We want no more. We prefer the
wiser and safer restoration programme of
President johnson. Northern radicals may
seek the continued exclusion of the South
from the national councils, in order to re-
tain their political power, reckless of the
consequences; but in this scheme they will
only provoke the wrath Of the great body
of the people. Abolition fanaticism has had
its day. Public opinion, softened and en-
lightened by the terrible experience of the
war, inclines to gentler courses. -.

Very Indignant About II.

The State Journal feels as indignant as
though great insult had been offered to the
relatives of the editor of the State Journal,
because there was "a reasonable amount of
demonstrative enthusiasm lit was over
whelming, the members of the Convention
and the people in the thronged galleries
uniting in the demonstration of enthusi-
asml in the [Democraticl Convention" sin
response to declamatory defamation
against Negro Equality and Negro Suf-
rage. Why did not the Convention that
nominated General Cox on the 2lst of June
take ground against Negro Suffrage and
Negro Equality2 Phey were besought to
do so. Had they done this, "a reasonable
amount Of demonstrative enthusiasm" would
then have been manifested by the few out
siders who were present. ''

PubIic Meeting OF the Calored
People of fhe CITY OF COIumbus.

Pursuant to. notice the people met at the
ANNE. Church, land q meeting was or
ganized by calling w. Mitchell to the Chair
and II j. Washington, Secretary. The
object OF the meeting was TO consider the
condition ofour people in the United States.
D.Jenki9s asked leave TO offer the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, which was
adopted: ~
WHEREAS, The Declaration of American
Independence Is the chief cornerstone of
this Republic, on which the Preamble and
Federal Constitution is founded; therefore,
j. Resolved, That these documents were
. intended to promote the blessings OF liberty
to all the people, without regard to cline or
color.
3. Resolued, That inasmuch as the Gov
ernment was established for the benefit
of all, that we demand that the elective
franchise be extended to all men that have
proved themselves loyal in the hour of dan
ger.
g.. Resolred, That the colored men have
contributed equal, according to numbers,
as the whites In the defense of the Union /;
take for example Kentucky, which is about
10000.
A. .Resolred. That the colored men fought,
bled and died on every battlefield TOR the
same great end; they ought to enjoy the
same political rights in common with all
men.
8. Resolred, That we demand at the hands
OF the Federal Government, in the recon-
struction of the rebel States, the franchise
to be extended, to all the loyal blacks of
said States; nothing short of that will be
just and right.

n General Cox, ScHENoK and JOHN SHEER
MAN have been travelling through sections
of the State for couple Of weeks, calling
on the people to follow their political lead;
and we notice that EcKLEYand GALLOWAY,

take to the stump for the same pur-
pose. In their State Convention the
Constitution Of the United States was
ignored altogether The Democratic party,
in their State Convention on the oath inst,
renewed their pledge of fidelity to the

"higher law" Aboltionists do now, as they
did of old, refuse to, reverence the Con-
stitutlor, andSjn addition to this refusal
they proclaim, in effect, that 1t is treasona-

stitution is what they shall take for their
guide, in the event Of being entrusted with

No attempt has been made thus far by
either wing of the great disunited Union"
party, to show that General Cox differs in
principle from the radicals on the question of
Negro Suffrage, although from motive of
policy he,dodged the "irrepressible issue"
and took refuge behind a breastwork OF
"glittering generalitiesn His speeches, and
especially that delivered at 0berlin, ,show
clearly that he is sufficiently orthodox on
the negro, TO suit the most ultra of his rad
ical associates. He evades the main ques-
tion merely from cowardice, lest the sol
diers should refuse to give him their sup
port. There is seeming disagreement as
to the mode of securing their object, but as
regards their real object they are sufficient
ly agreed for all practical purposes. Car
ing nothing for the negro, further than to
make him useful IN perpetuating the1pow-
er already gained, they are at loggerheads
merely on questions OF policy. 1t is
enough for the public to know that PLATE

q. yoIney Dor.ey, Again.

On Saturday morning, August 10, we
called the attention of G.YoLNEY DORSEY,
Treasurer of State, to the fact that there
was rupor gaining currency, that some
how or other, he had. made snug little
sum ofSmoney, over and above his salary,
off of the peoples money after 1t had been
received into the Treasury OF the State
Knowing this to be damaging rumor to
gentleman of such unexampled "loyalty'
as Mr.. DORSEY, we desired from him note
for publication, that would arrest and put
out of the way this ugly rumor. Up to
this hour Mr.. DORSEY has kept silent on
the subject, 1t is true that on the 2lst the
Ohio State Journal went into towering
passion over it, {; but it neither undertook
to disprove nor to deny the truthfulness
of the rumor, and to the fact that 1t had
not done so, we called the attention OF the
Journal expressing the hope that it would
do so promptly. Since that time it has not
had word to say on the subject. What
are We to infer from this9 Are we to in
fer from this that Mr.. DORSEY has made
money, over and above his salary, off Of
the funds received into the Treasury Of
the State? If he has done SO, in what man
ner, pray, did he do 1t? 1t occurs to us
that it might have been done by his selling
interest bearing Treasury notes and pock-
citing the interest," and by allowing parties
in Cincinnati, Dayton, Piqua and Cleve-
land, or some such points, to use funds
belonging to the State Treasury. We do
not know--we do not know that we be-
lieve-we hardly think it possible-that
these things have been done by MIR. Dor
sEY; and hence we are anxious to have a
rumor put out of the way which some OF
the men who are Indignantly spoken of as
"Copperheads" would use to puncture
what to them seems his self-inhated patriot
ism. Mr.. DORSEY must know that by his
vindictive abuse Of Democrats-by his ma
licicus and outrageous perversion of truth
as to their "loyalty" and atriotism-noth-
ing would gratity them more than to point
the returning soldier to the rumOr he
does not deign to disprove or contradict,
that while he has been defaming them
(the Democrats) for private gain he has
used the funds of the State wrongfully,-
To deprive these wronged men of an OPP
portunity to do SO, we again call upon Mr..
DORSEY to furnish us note for publication
taking the lite out of this rumor. Or, if
Mr.. DORSEY shall deem such course as this
derogatory TO his high character, the pub
lication of an official report from Mr.. OD-
LIN, the examiner of the Treasury, show
ing that Mr.. DORSEY has ia no way made
anything off OF the funds of the State,
over and above his salary, and that he has
not allowed any. parties in the State or out
of the State to use funds belonging to the
State, except in pursuance of law, will be
perfectly satisfactory. Such report VIII
answer as well as would note from Mr..
DORSEY or as an editorial in the Ohio
State Journal on the subject.

STATE Rights.

Will Gen. Geo. w. Morgan, The OHIO
STATESMAN, Cincinnati Enquirer or Cleveland
Plain Dealer, state what is meant, in the
Democratic Platform, by the term State
Rights ?-Cleueland Leader. q" -3
Oh, certainly. The Platform says in dir,
rect words that it don't mean "Nullifica-
tion"--that is, it don't mean what you
Reservites meant by it when some years
ago you adopted it in your Revolutionary
Convention, said to have numbered $4,000
strong, at which GIDDtNGs, SPALDING, and
the "Sons of Liberty" were among the
prominent actors. 1t don't mean what
Judge SUTLIFF meant by it when he incor-
porated it into his dissenting opinion on
"the Rescue case" and in which Judge
BRINKERHoFF concurred. 1t don't mean
what the Reservites meant by it when they
used it to drive Judge SWAN from the Su-
preme Bench. 1t don't mean Secession
but it does mean, with slight qualification,
what Judge SPALDING, as Chairman, speak
ing for the committee on Resolutions meant,
and what the Republican State Convention,
held in this city July 13, 1856, and which
was presided over by Hon. JOHN SHERMAN
as President, meant in adopting, as their
first resolution, ......
"That the people, who constitute the su-
preme power in the United States, should
guard with jealous care the rights Of the seu-
erdl States as independent Governments,
No encroachments upon their legislative OF
judicial prerogatives should be permitted
from any quarter"
This resolution, it will be observed by a
comparison, is stronger than the State
Rights resolution adopted by the Demo
cratic State Convention on the oath inst
In 1866 the Republican party, with that
resolution, carried the State by a trium-
phant majority. No party antagonized the
doctrine of that resolution. Its soundness
and correctness were conceded by all par
ties. an the light of these facts" we want
the Leader, and all the Abolition Journal:
thatnow denounce the assertion of qualified
State Rights as the justification ofsecession
to state what they, in 1856, meant by an as
sertion of unqualified State Rights ?n'---
Did they 'mean, by State Rights, the right
of State to secede from the Union? Ii
not, what did they mean?" We pause fol
reply. & n. sgao5 se8,ir ..,t sCs,

Now Let us Bave General Cox's
sssFsr Argument.

General GEORGE w. MORGAN, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, has given
his reasons, in language that can not be
misunderstood, why he is opposed to Negro
Suffrage and Negro Political Equality.
Now, let General Cox give his reasons, in
language equally clear and distinct, why
he is in favor of Negro Suffrage and Politi-
cal Negro Equality. He owes it to the
people to do SO, to the end that they shall
be enabled to make up their judgment in
telligently on the subject of Negro Suffrage
and Negro Equality. If there is q reason
why Suffrage should be extended to the
Blacks General Cox should presentit in a
form more unquestionable than he has yet
presented it. Let him prove, if he can, that
it was the design of the founders Of this
Government that the Blacks should be CO.
equal with the Whites in its administra-
tion ,-- ffr,...is. .. r,..

Demand that the Word "White'

The Abolitionists Of the Reserve, in their
Senatorial and County Conventions, have
resolved that the word "White" must be
stricken out of the, Constitution Of the
State of Ohio, to the end that all the colored
men may be placed on political equality
with the Whites. The aAbolitionists who
passed these resolutions all support Gener-
al Cox for Governor. Would they do so,
were they not fully satisfied that in the
event of being elected Governor he will
use his official influence with the Legisla-
ture to have that amendment made? ,]loil
