RADICALIsM IN OHIo.-The CORES
pOndent of the New York Herald
writing from a section of Ohio known
as the " Connecticut Reserve" gives
the following:
Ohio is Radical enough, Heaven
! knows. but few people outside of the
| State have any idea of the intense
state of feeling which exists in this sec
ton of the State Ben. Butler him
self could not wish for a more desira-
BILE field to work in. The people
would suit him to death, and have no
doubt lie would suit the people, for a
more negro worshipping community
does not exist north of Mason's and
DiXon's line to-day than in the old
Connecticut Reserve. They are not
satisfied with the constitutional amend
ment proposed by Congress, but in
sist on negro suffrage at the South, as
the only condition upon which the
rebelious States ought to be admitted
to the Union. In addition to this,
they are head and ears in love with the
Brownlow miscegenation troupe, and
regard them as the only SoutheTners
who should be allowed to have a voice
in the reconstruction and future gov
eminent of the rebel States. All this
is very disgusting to the Democracy
no doubt; but as they are in q hope
less minority they are obliged to grin
and swallow it, with the hope that
some day or other things may take
turn in their favor.
