The great issue before the people is,
whether all the powers of Government
shall be concentrated in the hands of the
General Government-the States being re-
duced to the condition of counties-and a
consolidated despotism be thereby estab-
lished; or, whether those rights of local
self-government which our fathers enjoy
ed and which we inherited from them, and
without which there can be no real liberty,
no wise government, no public economy,
no light taxation, shall be preserved
A powerful faction, represented by a ma
tority in Congress, have conspired to over
throw the free and beneficent institutions
of our fathers, and to substitute therefor an
Oligarchy of privileged classes, crushing
the mass of the people and all individual
liberty, under the weight of despotic and
unrestricted General Government. To eff
feet this object they, in plain violation of
the Constitution, exclude eleven States
from representation in Congress, and insist
upon comforting upon negroes the right
to vote-not out of regard to the negro,
but because they expect to be able,
with their money, to control his vote, and
thereby perpetuate their party ascendency.
Let every man who is opposed to the
schemes of the conspirators, who cherishes
the institutions founded by our fathers,
who appreciates the necessity and benefits
oflocal self-gOvernment, who is opposed to
seeing the great State of Ohio shorn of her
dignity and reduced to the dependent con-
dition of county, or who is opposed to
Negro Suffrage, join with the Democracy
in rescuing our country from the grasp of
the Malignants.

Eral Committee of Ohio.

The New Appointment Law.

The efforts of the President to evade
that provision of the Constitution, which
makes the Senate part of the appoint
ing power, has resulted in the preparation
of bill to defeat his schemes.
The joint committee on retrench-
ment, reported on Monday to both Houses
of Congress bill, section first of which
provides that all persons holding civil OF.
fee, with the exception of the heads OF
the Departments, appointed by and with
the advice and consent Of the Senate,

sors in like manner are appointed and
qualified.
Section second provides that when any
officer appointed as above, excepting
Judges of the United States Court and
Cabinet officers, shall, between the ses-
sions of the Senate, be found guilty oi
any misconduct in Office, or become dis
qualified in any way to perform duties, in
such case, and no other, the President
may suspend such officer and name some
person to perform the official duties un
ill the next meeting Of the Senate.
The President is required, within TWEEN
ty days after the meeting of the Senate
to report such suspension, with the evi
dence and reason upon which it was made
and the name Of the substitute. IT the
