Fred. Douglnss How He was
Received by the white RAD
icaIs.


Fred. DOugInss--HOv He was
Received by the white RAD
icaIs.
In Rochester, on Thursday evening,
Fred. Douglass spoke to the Union
League and gave an account of his visit
TO Philadelphia, we quote:
Con my way to Philadelphia / met
the Indiana and Louisiana delegation,
/ was in the forward car next to the
engine-a precedence which is usually
accorded to negroes, so that in case Of
accident we should have the first chance.
The delegation came TO me and said
they had a very grave subject to dis
ouss They entrcated me not to go to
Philadelphia. The country was agita-
ted with important questions. The
issue was between Congress and tho
President. fl went to Philadelphia
the Indiana delegation feared that
their Congressman would be defeated;
and If Congress were defeated Johnson
would be in the ascepdancy, and that
meant Memphis, New Orleans and the
continued persecution Of Union men
throughout the South. / told them l
might as well put q pistol to my head
and blow my brains out as to back out
now. Had | been left TO choose |
should not have come here at such u
time but | had been appointed by tho
Republicans of Rochester, and there
was now no means of escaping the
odium of having a negro delegate in
the Convention. II l refused to come,
or was kept out, tho matter would BIO
made worse instead ofbctter.
"On reaching Philadelphia, l heard
a rumor that some of the Northern
loyal Governors were rogretting exceed
ingly that Rochester had SEM an ugly
child-a black delegate to the Conven-
ton. They hoped Douglass would
have too good sense-that was the way
they put it-'not TO attempt to take u
seat in the gathering or join in the
procession Indeed l did not know
exactly how 1 should get in. l had
notsecn our other delegate, and itwould
scarcely have been seemly for me to
walk alone. But q kind Providence
tossed theyoung, brave, eloquent Theo-
dore Tilton in my way, and that man
Of brains and oloquenee and genius,
like his master, was not ashamed to
call a black man brother. He took
me by the arm, and we marched in tho
grand procession together. Arrived at
the Convention, the first man l met
was General Carl SEIZURE, and tho sec
ond was General Butler. They both
took me cordially by the hand, and
there is a great ~tlunkeyism in most Of
us-after that every body recognized
me. All the difficulty was ovcr at
once"

where the SymPathies Of the
People Should Be.

Henry Ward Beecher, in speaking
of President Johnson, says that what
evcr other qualities no may possess,
this must be credited to him, "that no
has maintained simplicity of manners,
and Il true love of the common people"
Therein it is that Mr.. Johnson always
has had 50 strongly the sympathies Of
the workingmen Of the country. His
manners were always simple, and his
love of the common people always
true. He has carried these qualities
with him to the Presidency. High
official position does not alter his char
acter. His love for the people, and his
simplicity of manners, he retains under
all circumstances. Hence tho attach
ment of the people to HIM.
1t would be we'll for the people, to-
day, if that could be said, with truth,
of the Radical Congress-that simplici-
ty of manners and a true love of tho
common people characterized it. On
the contrary, il showed itself to bo
naughty, overwhelming, profigate.
lavish in expenditures of public money
imposing new burthens on an already
heavily taxed people, and voting them
selves extra bounties. 1t exhibited
neither simplicityin manners, economy
IN expenditures, nor consideration for
the interest of the people. 1t took
good care Of its own members voting
them extra compensation and back
pay it took good care of tho negroes
by voting them millions of dollars to
feed, cloth and school them; and took
good care of the New England manu-
facturers by voting them increased
bounties, which the people have to
pay in indirect taxes.
The sympathies of the taxpayer, of
tho workingmen, of all friendly to
simplicity Of manners in our public
men, and economy in public cxpendi-
lures, will DO with tho President, and
~deservedly SO. He merits their conf-
dence and will receive it.-[Cincinnati

Judge OF the Court.

We ask the voters of Mtrgap Coun.
ty, before they cast their ballots for
Common Pleas Judge, to reflect and
honestly consider the situation.
Muskingum County has had the
Common Pleas Judge Of this Circuit,
composed of the counties of Noble
Morgan and Muskingum, the last tWenty
years, and now has the presumption to
claim it five yearsTmore in the person
of Colonel Granger. The voters Of
Noble and Morgan ear now prevent
the ungenerous and arbitrary demands
of Muskingum j fthey will.
Judge John e. Hanna, Of M'Connels-
vile, Ohio,-well known to every vo-
ter o fNoblo and Morgan couuties-is
tho candidate of these two counties
against the claims Of Muskingum. We
ask, shall Noble and Morgan counties
be longer imposed upon,by the imbe-
cility, impudence, and overbearing
arrogance of Muskingum county
Will we be the tail to tho Muskingum
kite7
Judge Hanna has been q resident of
this county for near forty years. He
was Judge Of the Court of Common
Pleas, in the Circuit composed of the
counties Of Morgan, Washington, Ath-
ems, Meigs, Gallia, Lawrence and Sci
ota, from 1910 to fs47. He is one of
the best lawyers in this District, and is
honest and capable and will, at all
times and in every county, be on hand
to hold Court. He is industrious,
prompt and courteous, and no man
need fear Partially, prejudice or vim
d~ictiveness at the hands of Judge Han
ma.
Ifthc people of this county will con-
suit their interests as tax payers, ju-
rors, s%uitors, &c, &c, they will not for
one moment hesitate as to how they
should vote for Judge.
We do hope some interest will be
taken in this matter and Muskingum
county let know that tho other coun-
ties in the District have some rights
and that they Will try to maintain
them, and, fora time, cease to play
second fiddle to the ovorgrown and
arrogant county of Muskingum.

law that the Territories of the United
States, ten in number, should not deny
tho right of voting to.the negro, But
they put no prob ibition in the Statute
against the Territories comforting the
right of suffrage to those men who
possessed property. Under their law
the negro could not be disfranchised
but the poor white man might, They
thus put the negro before the white

Push on the column, tho skies are

no man now filter aud stay at home on
next Tuesday. Come TO the election
early, stay there all day, and work for
the glorious cause ofthe Union and the
preservation ofthe Constitution. Per-
haps this is the last struggle we will
be permitted to make for our rights
under the Constitution as il is. An
unholy attempt is being made by des-
perate men to mutilate that glorious
Constitution as it came from the hands
of our fathers. Unholy attempts are
being made to prevent Union ofthese
States. An attempt is beingmade to make
all negroes citizens ofthe United States
and of tho State in which they re-
side, make them voters and fit to be
chosen 10 any Office or place under tho
Constitution and laws. Millions of
dollars are sq%uandered and spent upon
the negroes, ut the expense of the
whites. The Bounty due the white
soldiers is left unpaid, WILTSHIRE negro
in his claim is promptly attended to.
All the Legislation of the Radical Con-
gress tends to the advantage of the
blacks, whilst the rights and interests
of the whites are impudently ignored.
Rally then to the polls IN next Tues
day and asser t and vindicate the rights
and the interests Of the white man.
Do not permit one man who is with
you IN the vindication of the Constitu-
ton and in the restoration of the Union
to stay away from the polls.
9 If every man friendly to "the Consti-
tuition as it is and the Union as it was"
can be induced to go to the polls and
vote, all will be well. Ohio will be
redeemed from tho hands of the Radi-
Revolutionary civil war party.
We must be vigilent and active.
The signs of the times portend success.
From all quarters we hear of numerous
and important changes taking place in
favor of Democratic Conservative ideas.
TO THE PoLLSl TO THE POLLSl
and all will be well. A glorious poll
teal regeneration and victory awaits
the efforts you will rake on next
Tuesday. Organize your forces.
Have your Committees early on the
grounds. Stay at and watch tho polls
all day, prevent fraud, cheating and
imposition that may be practiced or
attempted. See that all legal voters
