1t is most unfairly and falsely
asserted Of the Republican party
that one Of its leading doctrines is
Negro Suffrage, Our party ad-
heres to no such naraow- minded
and ignorant faith Its platform is
broader lrmcr, being co-cXtensiye
not with one race but with all races,
and its broad shield extends not
over one class only, but over all
classes and all rights Of mankind,
We are not in favor of Negro sull-
aage, Irish suffrage, German suil-
rage, or French suffrage, but of
equal and universal suffrage for all
men Of whatsoever tongue or race,
who obey the laws and keep their
allegiance to the flag. The creed
Of the Republican party, like that
Of the Bible. is no respccter ofper
cons. 1t recognizes only men
made in the likeness Of God, and
dares not presume, ON account OF
the accidents Of birth, to set aside
the declaration Of the Creator, that
all tongues and races are made OF
one blood, or that human interpro.
tation of it that "all men are crea
ted equal On this platform will
we stand, and on this rock will We

Correspondence of the Gin Gaz
WASHINGTON c. H July |.
Passing few days at this place,
the county seat Of Foyette, and
having some opportunity to learn
the public pulse, ! have thought it
might add something to your very
! full compend Of news to forward Il
few lines for your columns. This
is one Of the most fertile and pros
porous counties in the State, and
lust awakening from its long Rip
Van Winkleism to the spirit Of pub
lie improvements, There are now
ten turnpike roads in a rapid pro
gress, under the recent law proyid-
ing for "mending the ways Of the
people, at Il cost Of about one
third of a million dollars, These
roads will bringpopulation and cap
ital to the rich grazing section Of
the State.
Two or three years ago a fine and
capacious edidce, for an academy
was erected at Bloomingburg, five
miles from the county seat, and
placed in charge Of Rev. +. Cooper
Its second anniversary was held last
week, and was a brilliant success,
The classes, including higher Eng
lish branches, mathematics, ancient
and modern languages, were exam
ined in the presence Of large and
attentive audiences, and with unani-
imous approval, X X
This young institution, with an eX
cellent apparatus, first class musical
instruments, alarge and able corps Of
teachers, in community proyerbial
for its moral and religious tone, is
now accomplishing the objects for
which it was founded, with unusual
suscess.
1t originated in a donation Of the
late Col. Stewart, increased to about
$4,000. Neither Sabbath breaking,
profanity nor intcmperance is al
lowed among the people. Formore
than 25 years no spirituous liquors
have been sold, and the consequence
is that an elevated and almost i'm
perious public sentiment suppresscs
every tendency to the immortality
Of large towns,
Fayet.e county comprises part Of
the district 50 ably represented in
Congress by Hon. r. W. Clarke, !
and may be relied upon for an en-
phatic expression next October.
There is scarcely amy wheat rails
ed here in this section The corn,
grass, fruit and stock, which consti-
tute the resources Of the people, are
all auspicious for prosperous year.
People are becoming more cheerful
under the frightening prospects,
and will soon extend their smiles
to the great ccnters Of trade, A
large clip of wool is ready for mar
Ilct, and as soon as producers be
come satisfied that there will be no
advance in prices, it will
move forward and give new impetus
to business. Yours, truly, Ii.

Constitutional Amendment.

The Democrats, as they style
themselves, are striving to impress
the beliefupon theirpartizans whom
they fear are going to vote for the
amendment to the Constitution
that if they vote for the amendment
they must necessarily vote for the
Union candidates; now we should
have no particular objections to this,
but we wish to have them vote un-
derstandingly, and we know very
well that their newspapers are not
going to enlighten them on this
point Of voting on the Constitu
tional Amendment, so we will just
quote the lst Sec. Of the Bill, to be
found on the l77th page Of the Ses-
sion Laws Of 1867, which reads as
follows:
Src. /. Be il enacted by the General As
scmbLy Of the State of Ohio, That the elec
tors of the State shall vote upon said pro
posed amendment at the general election
in October, 1867, Os herein prescribed
viz! Those voting forthe amendment shall
put upon their ballots these words: econ
slitutional amendment, yes" Those vot-
ing against it shall put upon their ballots
these words; constitutional amendment,
no"
So it will be seen that Il Union
man or Democrat can vote for the
candidates of his own party and
vote for or against the constitu-
tionaI amendment as he pleases. A
Democrat can vote for any candi
date on the Democratic ticket, and
yet vote for the amendment to the
constitution.

Pike,s New Opera House.

The Cincinnati Gazette gives a
detailed description Of Pixies new
Opera House, built on the site OF
the one burned down some fifteen
months since The building fronts
on Fourth street, commencing about
the middle Of the square between
Walnut and Vine, and extends l7O
feet westward, which is divided ON

rooms, four Of them 81 feet wide,
and the two next on Vine street Is
feet wide, three Of them being lSS
feet deep, to Baker street, and the

each one of these rooms is Il base
mcnt packing or wareroom, with I'm
open front on Baker street, and n
cellar underneath. The store-rooms
are 10 feet and 6 inches from floor
to ceiling. The front is Il grand
achievement in the way Of free stone
bcoutyrgr and imposing dignity.
From the pavement to the top Of its
fifth story it is 90 feet high, present
ing a series Of scvcnty-siX windows,
rising tier upon tier, and the whole
front majcstically capped with Il
huge bronzcd American eagle, with
outstretched wings, resting ON the
caption in metallic letters, "Pike's
Opera House Building.' The Con
cert Hall, on the second floor, is 70
feet wide by 128 feet long in the
clear, and 43 feet high, 1t is not

tiohs, The Gazette estimates the

ing yearly at not less than $50,
0O0 The cost Of the building will
be somewhat over amilon dollars,
EXCITEMENT AT THE G. o. RAIL
ROAD DEroT.-The road agent of
the Adams Express Company, and
Others about the G. o, r, II, Depot,
were considerable exercised last
evening by the arrival Of a mysteri-
GUS black trunk from the Eas, by
the evening express, which, from
the odor it emitted was thought to
contain Il dead body, perhaps that
Of u child. This supposition was
considerably intensified by the fact,
that the trunk came way billed,
from Pittsburg, as "N trunk in bad
order, supposed to contain some
thing dead The address upon it.
indicated that the owner resided out
of the city, and the query was,
"what is to be done with it " Ap.
plication was made to relative Of
the supposed owner if he knew any
thing about it, and if Mr.. -
was expecting the arrival OF the
body. He knew nothing about the
matter atall, didn't think Nil
expected anything Of the kind, and
would have nothing to do with it.
The agent of the express company
then had the trunk placed upon Il
shelf in the warehouse at the depot,
to keep it clear from rats, where it
remained until this morning, when
another man of the same name, TO
whom it was supposed the trunk
belonged, came and claimed it, and
opened it for the qualification Of
. the eXpressman, and exhibited to
him the fact that the trunk contain
ed Swjt9cr Case instead of q dead
body, as he supposed,-ZaResralc
