The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1867-05-21

sFThe Marietta Register, anxious to
catch crumb now and then, which falls
from Democratic tables, copies the fol-
lowing three line item from the Phila-
Idelphia Age, with great flourish:
eve believe the color of the skin is nc
badge of dishonor, and when qualified by
education to hold the ballot, the man
should be eligible to Office"

Democracy as this, you of the Spirit. i

Iaboye) of Copperhead parentage. Have
you, up there, no CLEAN of Light? Car
you not comprehend the Republican ides
of Progress? Prefer you yet to remain
|swamped in two and half centuries oi
Wrong?"
mol But we take the opinion of Abra.
ham Lincoln in preference to yours. Its
date is September 18, 1858:
.While I was in the hotel to. day, an
elderly gentleman called upon me to
know if / was really in favor of produc.
ling perfect equality between the me-
groes and the white people. I will say,
then, that l am not, nor never have beer
in favor of making voters or jurors Of
negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold
Office, nor to intermarry with white peo.
pie; and I will say in addition to this, that
there is a physica. difference between the
white and black races, which believe
will forever prohibit the two races from
ever living on terms of socia1 and politi-
cal equality. And inasmuch as they can
not SO live, while they do remain togeth-
.er, there must be the position of supe-
rior and inferior, and I, as much as any
other man, am in favor of having the su-
'perior position assigned to the white
race"
Paste that in your hat, and an occa-
sional glance will prevent you from again
being 'taken in by such squibs as the
above.

The Word @yEhitea stricken out.

The Logan Gazette relates a peculiar
circumstance which happened some
months since in Campaign county. A
Quaker widower, tired of single blessed
ness, hunted up second wife. whom he
found in strong manhood suffrage
neighborhood. He took her to his home
and time few with azure wings, they in
Idulging in bright dreams. And says the
Gazette, sometimes in those dreams they
would imagine that the word "white was
stricken from the Constitution, and start
from their slumber in ecstacies of joy
And thus the pensiye autumn receded
before the stern breath of winter, and
anon the spring time came, "gentle Anna"
and with it hyacintha and bird carols,
and into the household of our Quaker
a niger baby. A baby with the word
white stricken out. That's SO. That's
what's the matter.

How Linuors are Made.

DR., A. A. Hays, State Assayer of Massachu.
setts, has been heard before the License Com
mittee at Boston. His testimony is reported in
the Boston papers. He explained the method
OF analgzing liquors IN his Office He thea stated
that large proportion OF the wine sold is not
made from the grape juice. lThere are more i'm
pure spirits sold uow than at any former period
within his knowledge. He could easily tell
whether wine had been enforced by brandy
or not. The liquors generally sold are
manufactured. The seized liquors are gene
rally worse than those which can be bought
OF the more respectable dealers. New
liquors, of strictly spirituous kind, exert
a poisonous influence aside from the
alcoholic element. This is the case with Imma-
ture wines when compounded from immature
liquors chosen for that purpose, The use of
liquor diminishes the vital forces and doub less
fends TO sAe shortenip" Of life. Tia witness
was asked II he wished to say anything with
reference to the medical testimony given tor the
petitioners, to which he replied that DIR. Clarke
had explained the whole subject physiologicqlly
in @ beautiful manner. The statement that
alcohol produces fat, or is q substitute for il,
has no sufficient chemical basis. 1t does not
prevent the disintegration of the tissues, but
that is not healthy action. The community
would be saved great amount of misery and
crime if alcohol could be banished in all its
forms, save enough, in the case of wine, for
medical purposes
The examination will be continued at the next
session of the committee.
