"A Truthful Remark from a RE.
publican Senator.


In the United States Senate, on the Nth
inst, during the consideration of the Sup
plenentaf Reconstruction bill, Senator
HowARD, of Michigan, in the course of his
remarks, said "a minority Government
could not exist in this country" True, o !
Senator HOWARD But, in the face of such
fact, why is it that you and your ''Rad-
ical o-workers are striving by all the pow
er that Congress can WELD, to keep the
reins of Government in the hands of the
minority2 . According to your own adnlis-
sion, the course now being pursued by your
party must result in wiping out the very
existence of our Government. The whole
legislation of the present Congress has
been to take power from the majority and
give ii. toithe minority. By! placing money
and patronage in the hands of their friends
and DISTINGUISHING their enemies, they seek
to retain the control of the Government,
although greatly in the minority z31T
Wethank Senator HOWARD for his candid
admission Let the people everywhere
know and understand that the Radicals are
striving to trample under foot the elemen-
tai principle of our Government, that the
majority shall rule, and they may yet rally
and rescue the country from its peril.
| The issue is simple one. It is for the
people. to say which shall be wiped out, the
Republican party or our country LetIthe
contest, be fairly. made, and if the people
want the country ruled by a moneyed aris-
toeracy-if they want the favored few to
lord it over the oppressed n1any-let them

The Radicals of the Legislature are in
rather more than a. Hpeck of trouble"
They, have passed a resolution laudng
Congress for forcing. Negro Suffrage upon
the. District of Columbia, the Territories
belonging to the United States, and the
" conquered provinces" of the Confederate
States Of Atneriea.'' "A majority of said
Radical legislators have, however, voted

These conflicting positions have not been
pleasant for Radicals to look upon, conse-
quently they have been striving to extri-
cate themselves from their absurd and dam
igerous effort to ride two hobby-horses at
once. We are credibly Informed that they
have agreed upon their plan of action. It is
that the Republican opponents of Negro Suf
frage inthe Legislature areto vote for sub
mitting the question to the people and the
Radicals are to refrain from all efforts TO
induce the Republican State Convention
to adopt Negro Suffrage as plank in their
party platform.
By this system of double-dealing they
hope to avoid the responsibility of the issue
and keep the conflicting elements of their
party united. Relying upon the credulity
and fanaticism of their party, they hope by
this trick to, once more secure the spoils ol
office and have further opportunity to leg
islate for the few aud against the many
We cannot believethat the people of Ohio
will be soeasily ddped into the support OF
party that dares not avow its sentiments
upon upon an issue of such great importance.
Thesery proposition is an insult to the in
telligencerof the people of the State, and
yet we have good Republican authority for
stating that such is the programme at
present agreed upon. @
