How stands the Press.

When new issue is submitted to
the people Of this country, for their
approval or rejection, all eyes are
at.once directed to the Press to as
certain the position which that pow
erful instrument may assume. This
was the case when the war began
and when Abraham Lincoln issued
the Emancipation Proclamation
and various other occasions. II
the majority of the Press found to
favor the new issue, its success is re-
garded as certain, but if not, the
reverse is expected.
In our own State, when the Con,
stitutional Amendment was submit.
ted, we awaited with great anxiety
the views of our brothers of the
Press-not that we welded any dis
cipline in this regard ourself but
to the end that we might learn how
the public pulse beat and we are
highly gratified to be able to say
that we have yet to learn of a single
Republican paper, in the whole
State Of Ohio, but supports the
Amendment with heart and hands
The Republican Editors Of Ohio
are unanimous in their hearty ap
proyal of, the Amendment. They
viii all vote for it, and have com
mended the righteous measure, with
great zeal, their fellow country men
aud if it fail, responsibility will res
upon other shoulders.
Kind reader, were these our las'
words, would say: Be generous tc
all men, and God will be mercifu
you.

the Copperhead
ticket.

Suppose that a man has been sick
for months, and that he was indebt1
ed to the physician, who attended
him faithfully, for his whole services
If that man is honest he will apply
himself to work with all his energies,
live economically, and pay the debt
as soon as possible. If he is not
honest, he will either repudiate or
try to sneak out of paying it,
Our country has been sick, sorely
afflicted, and shall it, now that il
has recovered, repu'liate its debt
and treat those who saved it, with
contempt? That is exactly what
the Copperhead party proposes tc
do. Vote the Republican ticket
and thus avoid a national disgrace

Theelection day is at hand. Are
you Republican reader, ready for
the vital question 1t is a solemn
thing to vote, and especially to vote
wrong. If your fate, your rights,
nay your life, depended upon the
action of some electors, you would
undoubtedly feel very anxious that
they should vote right. Would you
not? Remember, then that the ne
groes of our State . depend upon
your vote for their elevation and
Acknowledgement. Do unto them, as
you would have them do unto you,
if you were in their place. Be gen
erous, and you will never regret it.

Gen Hayes-An Incident.

AT a certain R. R. Depot, as Gen

about to get on the train, he recog-
nized in the crowd an old acqnain

garb. The General Immediately
went to him, and shaking him worm

with him till he had just time emo

For the Pioneer
Rank Taxation

MR.EDITOR:
The statement of the
First National Bank, in last week S
Psoucer brought the Cops to their
knees, and soon caused the circula-
ton ofa little sheet in defense OF
their former misrepresentation, in
which they still continue to misrep-
sent and leave the impression that
those Banks pay no taxes.
They dared not deny the fact that
said Bank has already paid to the
General Government over ..Sia
Thousand Dollars 1aces!
And they as meanly declared that
I'll taxes heretofore paid by said
Bank for State and County purposes
must be refunded, which is moi
frue
But what says the law on this
subject? On page 2O4 of the Laws
Of Ohio you will find an act pass
ed by the Radical Legislature OF
Ohio, on he 10th day of last April
the first section Of which says:
'tBe it enacted by the General
assembly of the state of Ohio, That
all the shares Of the stockholders il
any bank or banking association, 10
Gated in this state, whether now OF
hereafter incorporated or organized
under the laws of this State or Of the
United States, shall be listed at theil
true value in money, and taxed in the
City ward or town, where such bank
is located, and not elsewhere See
Laws Of Ohio.
Now Mr.. Cops, please tell us how
those banks escape taxation Il
will do for you to make such declar
ations to men who never read in
some lone spot where stands g
school house, in which You arc
spouting falsehood, and trying to
tear down the work done by the
friends of this Government and seek
ing to erect on it's ruins a govern
m mt to be administered by blood
stained traitors of the south and thei
aiders and abettors of the North, il
which you would gladly take stocI
either with or without taxes! Blu
it will not do i'm the face of law ant
common intelligence.
We refer any one who wants in
formation on this subject to tn
books Of the auditor of Wyando
Co. where they can see for them
selves just how the matter stands
the statements Of the Cops to tn
contrary Notwithstanding.

A leading citizen of Tiffin who

street, the oher day, after Thurman
had delivered his speech and ad-

been a Democrat, but sir, after list
ening to the speech of Thurman in
regard to the national debt I have
concluded to vote the whole Repub-
lican ticket including the Constitu-
tional Amendment"

The Republican Mass meeting

The Republican Mass meeting at
Bucyrus last Friday was fine sue
cess. The addresses was delivered
by our able candidate for Governor,
and.was well received by the people.
Hayes is popular with the people
and his speeches make a salutary
impression upon them. He is a
thorough, well informed gentleman,
and will fill the Gubernatorial chair
of our noble State with honor to
himself and universal satisfaction to
the people. ea~

was filed to it's utmost, with ladies

ArcTl,ey sincerc2

Democrats are very loud in their
pretended willingness to give ne
groes all their rights except the bal
lot. Let us see if there is any pos
sible ground for US to believe one
single utterance of that kind.
Did these Democrats favor the
Emancipation Proclamation, which
liberated the negroes from the most
cruel bondage known to civilization ?
No. @&
Did they support the Freedmen's
Bureau Bill? No. .n
Did they approve Of the Civil
Rights Bill which was expressly en-
enacted for the protection of the me-
groes in their civil right? No.
But all the above measures be-
came laws in the face of their most
bitter and relentless opposition and
they are to-day enforced because
these same Democrats have not the
power to prevent their execution:
This is Gods truth. @
Again. Did these same Demo
Gratis complain against the Fugitive
Slave Law, which compelled North
crn freemen to act as sentinels for
the protection of the slave property
Of the Southern chiyalry2 No.
Did they murmur against South
ern laws which made it a crime to
teach negroes how to read even the
Lords Prayer? No.
Did Democrats complain when ne
groes, because they were black, and
not criminals, were even denied the
right of Gods Sanctuary? No. But
there is abundance of evidence that
they would re-enslave them if they
had the power, but none whatever
that, of their own volition, they
would extend to them any rights or
privileges.

It is said that out of | 500 Nation
al Banks less than twenty of them
have failed since their organization.
This fact is worthy of the consider
alton of the people. Before these
Banks were inaugurated, business
men were constantly annoyed by the
busting up of sundry individual
Banks.

Copperhead papers are greatly
alarmed about of negroes coming to
Ohio, especially if they get the
right to vote The same howl was
raised when these negroes were be-
ing liberated, but all such proved
nothing. Negroes are already en-
franchised in the South and there
are no inducements for them to
come to Ohio.

Our State and County ticket is
composed of men eminently worthy
ofthe confidence and support ofthe
people, Many Of the candidates
have nobly battled for our country
in its hours of trial, and, others have
all proved loyal and true in their
sphere. None were ever found to
sympathize with rebels and traitors.
How is it on the other side p
Thurman is notorious friend of
rebels and acknowledges that he
and his family furnished supplies to
them, and his comrads are no better.

ST ATE UNION REPUBLICAN COMM1T-/
TEE Rooms,
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 23, 1867.
The Ohio Statesmen, the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, and other democratic
newspapers have repeatedly pub
lished the statement that this Com
mittee has issued a "secl ct circular"
advising the Union party Of the
State to abandon the constitutional
amendment as hopeless, and to con
centrate every effort upon the State
and Legislative tickets.
Such statement is false in every
particular, and has not the shadow of
foundation. This Committee has
never issued, nor contemplated the is
suing Of any such circular No mem
Der or members of the Committee
ever issued or advised the issuing of
such circular, nor was the question
of such issue ever discussed in any
meeting of the Committee, or by
any of its members. On the con-
trary, we feel very confident Of the
success of the amendment, and are
continually, by letter and otherwise,
advising special effort in that behalf.

A Meditation,

81 If a man defrauds me once, nv
confidence in him is forever impair
ca. He may repent, become saint
de-. but the recollection of his de-
liberate wrong and insult can never
-a9he obliterated from my mind.
The deeds of the United States are
matters ofimperishable history, and,
to a great extent, will be the gui-
dance Of all posterity, for veal or
sfwoe. This nation made certain
promises to its soldiers and capital
- ists.' If those promises are fulfilled
rsto the letter, and with promptitude,
these soldiers and creditors and all
honest men will be inspired with
confidence and pride in our Govern
ment, and posterity look back to
our history with just admiration and
heimitate our example.
But suppose that the Government
as breaks those solemn promises which
s.induce brave men to abandon their
all and even life itself, and the men
ofwealth to pour forth their means
like water, to the end that this God
inspired Government might be say
led. What viii they, and all honest
3 men, think of it. Will not posteri
~
" look back with admiration and
wonder at the deeds of the soldiers

contempt npon the Government
which dared treat the instruments OF
its salvation so perfdously? 1t is tile
blessings which a Government con
fers upon, and the magnanimity ii
exhibits n.its treatment of the peo
pie that endears it to them.
Again. In case of future wars
and the Government calls upon its
subjects to volunteer, and for money
they willremember with an undyine
the memory, history which we have
made and. are still making. And i
they find that the soldiers and capi
talists of the late war were treated
with indignity and treacherously
they VIII be slow to volunteer ant
to lend their money, no matter wha
inducements it may make, becaus
there will be no assurance that it
promises will be inviolate.
Let us, then, by our own infuenc
and vote do all in our power to til
end that the national honor and in
tegrity may be kept sacred.
This We will do naee. ofFeetuell,
