Oh the Situation, ana &rn.
Morsar's speech,
We feel like making an apology for
the non.appcar7nc this week ri No
10 of the series Of Notes on the Situa-
ton, by Hon. b, II. Hill, which we
have been publishing We deferred it
one week, however, in order to makA
room for the speech Of Gen. G. W.
Morgan, Of Ohio, which will he found
in this number Of our paper, and which
struck us rs peculiarly appropriate at
this stage Of the political crisis. A few
days hence and the election in Ohio
will come of, and it 10 to be decided
then whether Or not the people Of Ohio
will strike the word uhae ont Of their
Constitution. The Issue i, Il grave one
to he decided next Tuesday in Ohio,
We shall look for the result with that
interest which ought to animate the DO
som Of one who has been reared to re.
we're the Constitution established BY the
great fathers Of American liberty, and
to believe with Edmund Burke that it
cannot he too often repeated, line upon
line, and prcccpt upon pTccrpt, until ii
PASSES into the currency Of a proyorb,
that "to innovatc IS not TO REFORM and
it is the constant daily innovations up
on the Constitution Of the United States
which have endangered and are still eli
dangering the government Itself.
. 1t is our own wish to defer the Notes
by Mr.. Hill in order TO make room for
this speech Of Gen. Morgan, Of Ohio,
and not that VIC are influenced ut all
hy the cry Of weak. minded persons that
the Home journal would be more in.
tcresting if we would not publish those
'.l0ng notes" There are n few persons
whose minds cannot grasp the immor
tai truths announced by Mr., Hill, and
there are n few who would not if they
could There arca few who love to talk
about republican government being n
failure, AMI hold up the monarchy OF
England as the best government in tho
woru, hence thcy dislike to have the
LUod old Constitution, under which we
E, % long pryspcred, preached .ipon at
TINS stage Of our political pilgrimage.
But " nope, and only hope, is in the
Constitution, and with this hope buoy
lng Us up III the dark tcmpcstuous sea
into which, acobintsm has thrown the
ship Of State, We shall edit our paper
without regard, save contempt or pity,
Tor The blowing of the porpuisc. In
this speech will be found the
issues upon which the friends Of the
Constitution are making the fight in
Ohio, and if they should sUccecd, it
will be a dcath~kncl to the mrgro-cqual-
ity party which would dehasc them
selves and their race for the sake Of
office. We have strong hopes Of the
success of the democratic party in
Ohio. We see that many who were
valiant in the army OF the Union are
uLiting themselves into societies in or
der to make Il more organized oppoa!~
ton to the dangerous and lamnabIc is
sues Of universal negro equality and
negro supremacy. And We see that
the people Of Ohio are AWARDING to the
fact that negro equality means the deg
relation Of the Caucassian %racc--tiIat
the object Of the JacohinS is to rule
this country at all hazards, and now
that the %clap-trap cry OF traitor Is
playing out, to rule by aid Of 4 social
equality, distastclul to decent white
men, and an abominaliOu in the sight
of God.
