The Obnoxious Word
HWhite,o

AFTER all their lodgings, and quib.
blings, their pEocrastinat!ons Of the
question and their chArlatanism, to es,
cape the responsibility of erasing the
word white out Of the Constitution OF
Ohio by the extension Of free and unre-
stricted suffrage to the negro, through an
amendment Of our organic law the Rad
icals have made q fuU paur. Even in
the event Of the proposed amendment
being adopted, the obnoxious word white
will still hold a lodgment in that instru-
ment. We can imagine how Ohecsedom
will tear its hair, when it comes to read
Article TX, SEQ. 1st Of the Constitution :
"All WHITE male citizens, residents
of this State, being eighteen years Of
age, and under f%orty-five yerrs, shall be
enrolled in tho militia and perform mill
tary duty, in such manner, not iDcom-
patible with the Constitution and laws of
the United States, as may be prescribed
by law
Isn't this oversight of the negropho-
bists too bad Fully ak long weeks of
Legislative time was spent In getting the
voting bantliug licked into shape, and
the coWardly Radical tricksters whipped
into its support, and DOW it turns out
that nearly one-half of the work was
done. White will still be retained until,
at least ano her amendment can be eff.
fected. The Urbana Union pertinently
says:
"If the negro should vote, why should
he not muster? Let manhood suffrage
and manhood muster 60 tog' tn r. But
if you propose to remove oil ! gal dis
tinctions on account of color, Nhy not do
it2 However, we must be Cd ritable.-
We suspect the truth lie tia: not one
member of the Radical party 10 the Leg
~islature, ever read the Constitution
through, and therefore did not know
what was 10 it."

The Resultin ohio.

The Democratic ticket, headed by Al
len G. Thurman, one of she ablest states.
men and jurists in the United States,
will be elected this fall. The proAigacy,
dishonesty and corruption of the Office
holders now in power would and ought
to destroy any party. A financial PRESS
URE, the necessary result Of the Radical
financial policy, and which must come,
sooner or later, is being felt by the peo-
pie. Our taxes have grown under Radi-
cal rule, from almost nothing, until they
are almost three times as great, per head,
as they are 10 Great Britain. The lux
ury Of Radical rule can not be borne
longer by the people.
In addition to all this, the Radicals
propose to strike the word "white" from
our State Constitution, thereby hoping to
make the negro a white man. They pro-
pose to amend not only the Constitution
but also the works Of the Almighty
For years a majority of the voters in The
Republican party have been voting the
ticket because they could not be made to
believe that that party would ever favor
negro suffrage and equality 10 this State.
That question is no longer one Of specu-
%IatiOn, but is a palpebIe fact. The guess
ton is submitted TO the people for their
decision by these leaders Of the Raids
Gals, and they claim that they can "whip
i'm nearly all who have heretofore voted
with them. This cannot be done. W.
admit that very many Republicans who
now say they will not vote for tie amend
ment, will be "whipped in" to. support
the measures under tho whips of pSrty
drill. But we know many others who
will not be whipped in, under any cir.
cumstaDOes. They will not be scared
when told that they are voting with
"Copperheads and Butternuts." There
are thousands of this kind.
Without the negro question being in
our politics this year, in our opinion, the
Democratic ticket would have been cleo
ted.
With the submission of the amend.
ment proposing to enfranchise the me-
groes and disfraDohise thousands of wov.
thy and honorable soldiers, who fought
their three and four years in the army,
but who are marked as deserters because
they came home after the war was over
but before they received their discharges,
we think there is no doubt Of success
In addition to the class above referred to
three fourths Of those who are deserters
and skedadlers voted the Republican
and they and their friends will not
vote to disfranchise them. Tho Adju-
tant Generals books show wei q, 900
deserters of Ohio soldiers. The highest
army vote the Democratic party received
was only about 1000. Counting these
all among the deserters (while We dom!
believe one of them should beg, would
$4,000 Republican deserters. Ia.
king last years vote as a basis, $4,000
voters taken from the Republican and
put on the Democratic vote, would carry
the State for the Democracy by nearly
1000 majority. But from past indiCa-
the probable majority for Judge
Thurman will be B. ,OOO.-[Piqua Dem'

The Dissolution of the Re.
publican Party. A.

We again call attention to the follow
ing extract from the letter of Wendell
Phillips to The New York Anti-Slavery
Standard, which letter we published yes'
lerday
"The seeds Of dissolution have been
sown in the Republican party. Perhaps
l should say that the party always con-
tanned the elements of its own destruc-
ton, and that it only required the prOvO~
catiVe circumstances to develop them.-
AT any rate the Development is visable
to the common eye, as it has long been
seen by those whose habits of close OBJ,
servation have given to their mental Wis
ion a clear insight" II
Whatever we may think Of Wendell
Phillips, he has always, in the past,
proved a good political prophet. Whom
the Republican party was organized, he
being for o dissolution Of the Union,
hailed it with joy. He declared that,
as a pure sectional party, it was for Sec
tional purposes the "irst crack in the
iceberg" So it proved, Having pre-
dicted what 1t would eventually effect,
he now sees, and does not hesitate to de-,
clare, that it is in process of destruction
that "the seeds Of Obstruction have
been sowb, and that circumstances are
rapidly developing them" Let Demo

take heart and courage. The monslrOus
organization that bas so tyranized over
the country is falling to pieces, and its
baneful star will go down the political
horizon as rapidly as it rose. Again, we
repeat, the emigration into the Democrat
10 party has commenced, and is proceed.

$4,000 900 lying idle in the Treasury,
drawing no int rest, aud not required

at six per cent. would be $40, $50, 600

facts before them, what apology Con,

$50, 900, 900 of %interes. bearing bonds
to be paid over to- the banks, we cannot
imagine. We presume there can be
