JOSEPH ATEN, Com.
JAS. JOHNSON, J
The above are the resolutions of the
Democracy of this county. We pro-
pose to notice and reply to each, as it is
numbered. And as to the
1st Resolution. If this Government
was made for white men alone, and for
none others, why do you make negroes
pay taxes, work the roads, fight for you,
when you are too cowardly or too trait
orous to fill your places in the ranks, in
defence of your country? Oh shame
on you! a'.
Cd Resolution. Wyare yon opposed
to doing equal justice to all men? You
cannot tell, and you will not make the
attempt If the negro is as good as you
are, or better, he has as good right to
voice in the Government that taxes him,
as you have. If he is inferior, as you
claim, and so greatly in the minority,
why are YOU afraid to compete with him
on equal terms? Shame upon you
again!
Sd Resolution. Yes, you are opposed
to extravaganza, and you are an honest
party. Your past Record proves that.
4th Resolution. You are in favor of
the States as they existed before the
war, slavery and all. Why are you not
honest enough to come out squarely for
slavery, and the tarring and feathering
of anti-slavery men, That is Just what
you mean. And then you are for equal
taxation are you7 Taxing negroes and
at the same time denying them all voice
in the Government that taxes them.
And you are for honest men in office are
you3 John G. Breslin for instance,
who stole 100000 from the Ohio
Treasury, and then ran off to Canada,
that land loved so dearly by the Dem
ocracy. ..
The balance of the resolutions are all
bosh.
Why did you not indorse the secess-
ion resolutions of 1887 Your speak
ers now take that ground.
