Abolition Treason.

The Democratic party declares the ordi-
nances of secession void, and that the
Southern States never were out of the
Union; that the States are, as they always
were, in the Union and, SO soon as order is
restored, entitled to carry on their State
governments and be represented in Congress
the same as thoughno rebellion had existed.
The abolitionsts pretended to be Union
men and declared the Union should not be
dissolved Tho rebclious States did not
get out of the Union by force, because their
military power was conquered. The aboli-
tlonists tell us these States are out of the
Union and shall stay out until they arc
educated up To their standard of rropricty.
II they are out and did not get out forcibly,
they must have got out peaceably. Then,
abohtionists acknowledge that States can
peaceably go out of the Union and declare
they shall remain out until such time as
they shall see proper TO take them in again.
The dlsunion and reasonable opinions and
designs of the abolition party should excite
alarm and caution the Unon-loving people
to watchfulness. Put the vile traitors out of
power and let the government be controlled
by Union men.

The people have been anxously waiting
for Mr.. BRowN to make that speech defin-
ing his position on the political questions of
the day. We are now assured that he will
make it about Christmas. But for the pur
pose of satisfying curiosity, we take the lib
erty of saying that Mr.. BRowN will, if
elected to the Senate, favor a law for giving
negroes the right to vote; that he is in IA
vor of the present militia law, that he is in
favor Of one third of the taxable wealth of
the country being held exempt from bearing
its just proportion of the burthens of gov
ernment, that he il opposed to abolshing
useless offices, that he is opposed to reduc-
ing public expenditures, and that he will
favor all measures for cnrichng the rich
and impoverishing the poor, In short, he
is square on his party platform.

Democrats Remcmber,

Democrats remember that you have, as
it were, but few hours, in which to pre-
pare for the contest. But a few hours to
accomplish that which is of more import
ance to you and your country, than we fear,
many of you feel. Are you up and doing?
The enemy is leaving nothing undone that
will insure your defeat or a reduction of
your majority at the polls and it is only
your own untiring. devotion to the good
cause in which you are engaged, that will
thwart their schemes. AROUSE! BE
WAKEFUL, BE WATCHFUL, BE VIC
LIANT! Let no sense of secerity cause
you to neglect your dutyl Let no prospect
OF success induce you to relax your labors.
The greater our victory this fall, the easier
the battles will hereafter be won. Success
this fall insurcs success next fall; and sue
cess then, is but the precursor of triumph
IN the Presidential campaign of 1868. Who
amongst us but would labor to accomplish
this? We are in the right. We have cor
ruption, taxation, usurpation, "negro equal
ity' and hundreds of Infamous ideas advo-
Gated by abolitionists to put down. We
have taX-gatherers, revenue assessors con
tractors, niggers plundcrcis, Office seekers,
Office holders, and shoddy with all its power
and might to contend with; but we have truth
and right justice and law upon our side,
and it requires of us, BUT TO DO OUR
DUTY, and all will be well.

What nre Won Enr1

Some of the adherants of General Cox
say they are not in favor of negro equality.
If not, what are you in favor Off
You are not in favor of equal taxation.
You are not in favor of the repeal of the
Ohio militia law.
You are not in favor Of an immediate re-
storation of the Union, under the Consti.
tuition.
You are not in favor of economy in ad-
ministcring the government.
You are not in favor of abolishing the
horde of useless officers that are eating out
the substance of the people.
No, you favor none of these measures for
the benefit of the white race.
Your State platform favors nothing but
the Declaration of Independence, in which
we are told that AL men arc created equal, /"
whichyou construe to include negroes.
You know very well, that in your strong
Republican counties your local conventions,
almost universally, resolved in favor of ne
gro suffrage.
You know that JOHN SHERMAN and r.
G. ScHENcK, your candidates for U. S. Sem
ator, come out in their speeches in favor of
negro suffrage, and both advocate the cleo
ton of men to the Legislature who are
known to be sound on that question
You know that the people regard the
question of negro suffrage an issue in this
campaign, and that General Cox has been
very frequently interrogated by soldiers and
citizens as to his views on this question.
You know that he gives an evasive an
swcr every time he attempts to answer at
all.
You know that the refusal of General
Cox to declare himself in opposition to ne
gro suffrage is driving from his support a
very large majority of the soldiers, as well
as great number of citizens.
If your party leaders are opposed to it.,
why don't they say SOP
If General Cox is opposed to negro suf
fragc, why don't he answer the respectful
letters of the soldiers and declare himself
opposed to it?
General MORGAN has nothing to conceal
on that or any other question.

1t will be interesting to tax payers to know

We find it rather an expensive luxury -

In this State there are five hundred Com

Very good. There is company Fund of
two hundred dollars, amounting in the ag-

That is not muchl Next, each member is
allowed five dollars year for uniform. On

more Then we have to add nine dollars
each for six days drill, making tour hpndred

being eight hundrcd thousand doHars,
Here, then, we have eight hundred thou

show. Fifty thousand men exempted from
working on the roads! Fifty thousand men
exempted from Militia Taxi and you read
er of this, foot the bills. We say. "Bully
for the institution bully for the Guard. :"
And if you vote for the continuance of them,
we say "Bully for you" We have too much
confidence, however, in the intelligence and
honesty of the majority of the people of the
State of Ohio, to believe that they will CON
tinuc this Bondocracy in power, or that
they will longer submit to Black Republi

The Difference.

General Cox has pcrsistently refused to
answer the many letters of inquiry sent to
him by hundreds of soldiers. A negro at
Obcrlin asked him question, on the same
subiect-ncgro suflrage-and Cox jumped
up, bowed politely to Sambo and blandly
answered the negro by saying, 'The colored
man was good enough to fight for the Union,
and he is good enough to stand on the I'm.
ion platform with me. -
So it seems that Cox thinks more of one
Oberlin niger than of tho thousands of
white soldiers who desire him to answer
these questions Its great thing to be n
nigger now n-days

Undoubtedly, you believe that the Con.

The Great Question.

The Stone and Dorsey State embezzle-
ment-negro suffrage and equality-une-
quail taxation, by which capital is exempt
from the support of Government, and there
by made privileged class, forcing labor to
pay the tax capital should bear-all these
are presented as issues in the October elec-
ton.
The Democratic party takes the ground
and it is the author of the law-that who
ever uses the money of the people, paid by
them In taxes, for any other purpose than
that for which the money was paid, he shall
be held and regarded as having violated his
trust, and embezzled the public funds.
1t maintains that the white race is the su-
perior of the black race, as the whole histo-
ry of the world has demonstrated.
1t insists that this Government was made
by and for the white race, and thatit should
be continued as such; and which President
johnson says it shall be while he is in pow
1t regards uniform and equal taxation as
essential to the stability and prosperity of
the Republic. Equity is justice; and that
can not be fulfilled unless all classes are
made to bear their equitable and equal share
of the expenses of the Government. If
capital was necessary to prosecute the war
to success, so was the man and his muscle
tHal WcHt INTO tIe service, rlSKeQ MS llmDS
and life; and if he returns uniniured, he is
even then in a poorer condition than the
bond holders, as he receives no interest on
his services, which was as necessary capi-
tai for the ''lfe of the Republic" as was
the money Of the banker or Yankee manu-
facturer
Negro suffrage is nothing more or less
than capital controlling labor-whether it
be South or North-for capital will control
unintelligent labor everywhere, and to the
end Of time. We all know how it has been
in this city for the last four years. Man
ufacturers, especially in the Government
controlled the votes of their
employees. If white laborers can be controll-
ed in that way, what chance will the freed
negroes of the South have for independent
action at the polls?
Sound craftsmanship and practical sense
will have to control this matter. Are the
people ready for it? If the negro of more
Importance to them than the future of their
own children? Since slavery is abolished,
have they any more interest in the negro
than they have in the success of their own
children2 Do they wish to put their sons
and daughters on an equality with the
blacks?-tor the scale is descending one.
All these things are to be decided in the
coming election. The future of the coun-
try is in the hands of its voters. Will they
sustain President johnson, or Cox, Sumner
and & Co.? That is the great question:

To the Democracy Of Ohio.

The State Executive Committee beg leave
TO address to you few words Of well found
cd announcement. Our advices from all
parts of the State are very satisfactory,
and we feel justified in assuring you, that if
every Democrat will do his duty from now
until the close of the polls on the second
Tuesday of October, the State will be res
cucd from the hands of the Aboltionists
The reign of terror has passed by, and as
passion subsidies, the people become anx-
ious to listen to argument and reason The
monstrous scheme of the radicals to place
negroes upon footing OF pefcct political
and social equality with the whites, and to
govern this country in all time to come by
means of negro votes; and the fagrantly
unjust proposition to forever exempt from
taxation four millions Of property in the
shape of government securities, and thus
create privileged monied aristocracy, re-
ceiving annually, in the shape Of interest,
hundreds of millions of taxes from the peo-
pie, but paying no taxes themselves to the
State Government; the wanton extrava-
gance of fCongress and the State Legislature;
the oppressive character Of the four dollar
militia communication tax; the swarm of un-
necessary office holders, civil and military,
drawing pay but doing nothing the contrast
between the ambiguous and deceptive plat
form of the Abolition State Convention,
and the uneduivocal, outspoken principles
announced by our Convention, and the
equally striking contrast between the vacilla-
ting and trimming course of General Cox
the Abolition candidate for Governor, and
the frank, manly speeches of our noble can
didate, GEORGE w. MORGAN; the patriotic
course of our returned soldiers, who are re-
iecting with scorn, the Abolition doctrine
of negro equality. All these things are
telling with powerful effect upon the public
mind, and causing thousands, who have ev-
er been opposed to us, to pause and reflect.
Fellow Democrats, now is the time for
you to work, and to work earnestly. For
four years you have suffered abuse and per-
secution for your principles. You bore it
all rather than desert them. When the his
tory Of these dark times shall be impartial
ly written, to you will be given the credit of
having preserved whatever of Constitution
al liberty shall remain in the land. Con
tinue to merit this high honor; continue to
be the champions of the Constitution and
of equal rights exhibit your ancient zeal
for the success of the good cause; use every
honorable means to strengthen and promote
it, be vigilant; be active; and you will, ere
long, see your time honorcd and beloved
party again in the ascendant, and the I'm
ion and the Constitution goriously restored
BY ordered of the Democratic State Tx
ecutive Committee.

Respectable white men who have sons and

are requested to vote for the hybrids.
The soldiers who fought for the white

Young men who respect themselves, and
who are looking forward to future useful

A Veteran Soldier Shot and
MOrtally wounded

The Grosvenor meeting at our neighbor-
ing town of Nelsonville, in Athens county,
on last Saturday evening, resulted in ter
ribe and bloody atfray. The meeting was
appointed for the afternoon, but as there
was no body in attendance except the Athens
Band, the meeting was postponed until eve
nlng
There has, for long time, been bad
feeling existed in Nelsonville between the
soldiers and Gen. Grosvenor, and his friends
advised him not to speak at Nelsonvillc, as
there was considerable body of soldiers at
that place, recently returned from the army,
hostile to the General but, as we are in
formed, he boasted that he would have
Chicamauga fight there, and the friends of
the General, all ofwhom came from Athens,
were ripe and ready for the contest. While
certain Mr.. Strickland was speaking, n
controversy arose rs to some declaration of
the gentleman in regard to the right of Ne
groes to vote. 1t was asserted on one side
that he made the declaration of the right,
and on the other it was disputed. After
the meeting was over veteran soldier of
the ll6th Ohio Volunteers, named Butts,
just returned from the battle field, was some
what noisy and expressed his very decided
dissent to the speeches. He (the soldier)
was rushed upon by body of red-hot Abo-
Etionists, imported from Athens for the oc-
casion, and the result was that the soldier
was shot through the body and is not ex-
pected to live. After he was shot, this
patriotic band of loyalists jumped on hi m
and terribly beat him with pick handles,
purchased and prepared before hand. The
Sheriff of the County and others were i'm
plicated in the affair, some of them were ar
rested, waived the examination and were
bound over to appear at the next term of
Court.
Soldiers these areyour professcd friends!
They pat you on the shoulder and say come
and tight-come and vote for us; but il
you don't vote with the party in power, and
dare maintain your manhood, your indepen-
dence, they beat you to the ground with
bludgeons and shoot you when down =

Bright Prospects for LabOrcrs.

In view Of the fact that the Abolition
party is Offering every inducement to the
negro paupcrs Of the South to settle in Ohio
and come in direct competition with white
labor, which will reduce wages to fifty and
seventy five cents per day, and the fact that
every garment the laborer wears, and every
morsel Of food Instantly are taxed
and retaxed to pay interest on untaxed
bonds, which compels him to pay advanced
prices for all the necessarcs of life, the Ia
borers of our State have brilliant prospects
for happiness and comfort ahead if Aboli-
ton rule is continued Their only, safety is
keep negroes out of the State by legislation,
and to compel the bondholders to pay their
portion of the expenses of the government
so that that amount can be lifted from the
shoulders Of the poor, ChWicothe .Adrer-
tiser

a Free Country.

We boast of this being free country.
Well it is pretty free. A man has the right
20 consider himself no better than a negro
if he wishes to do So He has the right to
vote for men that will make him and the
negroes equal, He has the right to vote
for the Coxites who will place white men
and thoir families on an equality with the
horde from Africa in all the civil and polt,
ical relations of life. But we must say that
the man who chooses to exercise such rights
is not possessed with proper respect for
himself and other people.
