Political movements, general discomfort
and the embarrassed state OF the treas
ury are assigned as the causes OF Gef'
frard's relinquishment of power.
On the 18th Of March, the Senate elec'
ted Gen. Nisssge Sagss for President
but he declined to accept The Office, and
until the election Of another President
the Government will be administered b.
the principal Secretaries of State, in aC'
cordance with an article of the Constitu'
ton.
The revolutionary movement was lee
By NJ. Victor Chevalier, who was leader
Of the last revolt at GOnaives, and who
had been for some time an exile from
Hayti, to which he recstlny returned
landing secretly at place near st
Mares.
Salnave, the military Chiefwho figured
prominently in the insurrectionary move
ment of last year, and who was also al
exile. has returned to Hayti since tn
revolution and was at Cape Haytier
where he bas taken command of the de
partmeDt Of the North.
By latest advices received at Cap
Haytien from Port au Prince, everythin

of the discharge of part Of the num-
ber for voting the Democratic ticket al

Vote the Republican ticket or yor
shall be discharged, said these loading
Republicans, privileged ariStocratic bond
holders, Such audacious scouudrel'
should be in Penitsntiary. Are labor
ing men dogs that they should thus b.
insulted and outraged ? And these dOs
tard hypocrites who assume and attenp
to dictate the votes Of intelligent, proud
spirited white men, are, the special advo
Gates Of universal suffrage. Their pur
pose is to reduce and degrade poor Ia
boring white men to an equality "befor
the law" with the negro, and then com
pei them by force of circumstances t
mechanically execute their will at tn

shall the Negro Vote z

The elective franchise Is the hlghest,
privilege that any one can enjoy in the
affairs Of civil government. The elector
is greater than the person elected, if such
person be not an elector. Electors
choose Presidents, Congressman, Cover
nors, Legislators, Judges, Sheriffs, &c. I;
therefore, iD the affairs Of State, the
elector is the sourse of all power, and by
couse duence the superior in civil.govern-
ment. Considering the electOr in the
light Of the foregoing facts, it is appa-
rent that the question as to who shall
enjoy that high privilege, is an important
one, and should not be treated of lightly
nor decided without due deliberation.
Our fathers, in the establishment OF q
constitutional government 10 this State,
sixty. Eve years ago, in their great wisdom,
limited the elective franchise to white
male inhabitants who had attained the
age of twenty one years, and had been q
resident of the State one year next
preceding the election, Again, in 1851,
the people of Ohio adopted the present
Constitution with similar provision
respecting the elective franchise.
| Il is fair to conclude, from the action
of the people Of this State in 1902, and
again in 1851, that The white man was
considered, at those times, as the only fit
person to exercise the elective franchise
in Ohio. Ard the question now ;s, have
things changed in that respect, and is the
negro more ft to become an oIector now
than then; and is not, does policy,
expediency, or the good of the State,
demand that he shall be now invested
with the highest privilege known in our
civil ponicy2 We assume that the people
were right in 1902, and in 1851, in lin
iting suffrage to white men; because me-
groes were then, az Class unit to ex'
ercise that privilege, and further, thsre
has been no change, in that respect, tC
the present time. s3
That some negroes are as intelligent al
some white men, is not denied but, aSS
class-evcu ou the score of intelligence
they arc far inferior 20 the white race
But we do not put the right to voice IL
= tbe affairs of government, on the grOunt
of intelligence alone. There is an an
, tagorism between the white and blacl
races which cannot be reconciled BY any
: artificial couventionality in the frame
work of civil government, and which, il
= and Of itself, ia sufficient reason whI
the two races--being intermiugled in th'
b same community-should not be on a,
equal footing 10 all respects. God, ii
8 his infinite wisdom, created the races o
men with different characteristics, and i
is not for man to attempt to harmonic
those distinctions so clearly visible il
Q tho white and black races. We have D
= unkind feelings toward the negro, an
are willing that he shall live in Ohio an
enjoy all the privileges he now has; bu
!. we think it would be bad policy to Civ
him the ballot, and by that means, dra
him from the quiet seclusion he now en-

The IMPENDING CRASH THE terri
BILE ruin of ten States by the acts of q
mad Congress, will, in the opinion Of
eminent writers produce like results
throughout the land. Every thing por.
tends crash such as our people have
never witnessed. Some writers postpone
It till 1868, while others predict that by
December, the National currency will be
of no more value than the old Continen-
tai currency. To this verge of ruin are
all the people brought by the folly Of
Radical legislation. Had Democratic
counsel prevailed, the ten States now in
ruins would have been in the Union, and
this year have furnished two hundred
millions in cotton to pay debts with,
instead of being and making the other
States bankrupt.
