VIII You vote the Ticker.

There are some men who have been act
ing with the Republican party, who cannot
go for the Negro Suffrage Amendment Il
the State Constitution, but talk of voting
the Radical Ticket. Ifthey would consider
but moment, and have knowledge that
they should be freemen and not slaves tG
party, We think that they would arrive at a
different conclusion What cluin, has ,oarts
upon an individual? Certainly mono other
than that Of agreement of sentiment and
policy. While men arc divided in opinion
in regard to the policy to be pursued by
government, they should be careful that
unscrupulous leaders should not lead them
to vote for acts OF folly which their judg-
ment would disapprove. A case in point is
the issue between parties in the present con
test. All the candidates on the Radical
ticket stand pledged to the following princi-
pie, announced in their State Convention,
held at Columbus,
That imbued with a spirit of true De
mocracy, and believing that the powers
necessary for the purpose Of attaining the
ends Of Government, ought not to be re.
stricted to a privileged class. but should be
visited in the whole people, without unjust
| or OdIous distinctions or qualifications not
equally attainablo by all; and further be-
lieying hat these sentiments are in strict
accordance with the spirit aud tendency of
modern civilization, ace ptuce OWsetoes on The
simple and b,oad Plottorm Of EsAN-
sA0GD SUFFRAGE, as agEaOOdied
isa taae proposed Amendment TO
tIae State Constitution, appealing to,
and c0uGding ill., the intelligence. Justice
anJ patriotism Of the people Of Ohio, to
approve itat the balot-box.
Now, no man should vote the Radical
State or County Ticket who does not up.
pyoce that platform. 10 oppose the plat
form and at the same time vote for the men
who adopt it rs their declaration of princi
pies is an act of unpardonable StapiIty-
How men can act 50 foolish is beyond our
comprehension. What IS there in party
that mon should SO 5tuiify themselves at
It's bohest. What is party but men, hold
ing the same opinions uniting themselves
together for the purpose of enforcing them? |
Suppose TIE issue before the people was the |
propriety Of some great internal improve
mcnt--what would You think of men hold |
ing opinions in favor Of the proposed i'm
voting for the men opposed to |
THUS annulling their own sentimcnts?-
Could maa place himself in more ri.
liculous piigh2 Does not every man Of
good common sense see that in acting in this
way, he would SOU earn the title of 'tool?'
Every honest man, who is opposed to
Negro suffrage, and desires to have the
Measure defeated should vote against any
md every man in favor Of that measure.
Look how the case would stand Sup
pose Negro Suffrage is voted down, and at
he same time Radical Legislature is
lected. Wha win be tie effect? When
he proposed amendment to the ConStitu-
ion of the United States is submitted to
he Legislatures Of tie States, the Lcgisla-
ure of your own choice would vote its
Goption This would be your act You
/; We the power to decree it otherwise by {
oting for the Democratic candidates, who
you'd vote to reject it. s
How strange it would appear. Vote {
own negro suffrage, and, and at the same {
me vote for men who will tastea, force it !
