GENEBA1 JOHN @. Ls.E.


At the meeting of the Union State
Central Committee, on Wednesday, this
gentleman was nominated for Lieuten-
ant Governor Uice Samuel Galloway,
who declined that distinguished honor.
Gen. Lee will not only not decline, but
he win be. elected, and win fill with
credit and ability the second post Of
honor under the Constitution of our no
bic State.
Gen. Lee was born and raised in this
place where he is well known, and it is
a singular fact, and one that the people
ofDelaware may be justly proud Of,that
it is the native county Of the two gall
liant soldiers and distinguished gentle
men whose names are at the head Of
the Union State ticket. Both General
Hayes and General Lee were born in
this town, where they spent their boy
hood and began their career of useful
ness and honor. Both have come up by
their own effort from comparatively
humble stations in life, and have

this subject must spring from fear that
the present virtuous tastes of the party
viii become dePraved. But upon this
subject we feel no concern, being
perfectly willing to let our political
opponents marry and give in marriage
just as they please.
The laws as they now stand O11sf
bounty for miscegenHtiOn and therefore
expose the Democratic party to peculiar
dangers. It is now the only process by
which the cOIOred race can reach the
ballot box. A certain percentage Of
white blood admits the oOl0red male TO
the right to vote but If he fails of that
percentage even by a hundredth part
he fails OF his privilege.
But tIere are facts coming within the
observation of every one, disappearing
the theory that miscegenation viii
result from political equality. AIlwhite
men are equal at the ballot-boz, but
pray how much does that affect the
intermarriage of their families Not
the least. Wealth, intelligence, moral
and social position have infinitely more
to do with il. Yet matrimonial alliances
are often formed without regard TO any
Of these. Homogenity Of race is rarely
considered and political equality still
less. Some one arguing with Greeley
against suffrage for the blacks, as an
ultima ratio asked him: aWould you
give your daughter in marriage to .
negro ?'' Greeley promptly replied /:
''1SO sir, aud il only those could vote to
whom I would give my daughter, very
few would enjoy the privilege, and you
would not be one of them" Why
should we exclude the blacks from the
ballot because we do not choose to
intermarry with them, when, ifJhe same
reasoning were applied nine-tenths
Of the whites would be also excluded -?
1t should be remembered that
miscegeDation has never prevailed so
much anywhere as it did in the South
while the blacks were kept in the abiect
condition Of slavery. Ifany one doubts
this let him travel in theSouthern States
and observe the complexion Of the
natives. He will find that slavery has
been a far more active promoter Of
miscegenation than freedom, and viii
be surprised to learn that less prejudice
prevails against the negro race among
the Southern whites than there is among
the Northern.
It should be carefully borne in mind
that political equality is one thing and
social equality a very different thing
All men ''are born equal'' in their rights
and hence should d'beequaI besorethe law,
vet no two individuals reinteIlectuaIly
physically or morally the exact equals
of each other. Social equality is a
chimera, thing which does not exist
and cannot as long as man is constituted
as he'll But political equality is merely
| the confirmation by human law of that
which has been ordained by the Creator
of the universe who respects not the
persons of men. It cannot be prevented
except by laws not in analogy with the
/ laws of nature, while social equality
cannot beestablished except by a change
I in the nature as well as condition Of
men, The one is just as natural and
unavoidable as the other is impossible

achieved simply by virtue OF their nom
est industry and sturdy manhood the
proud positions they occupy. They are
men Of the people, who believe in the
Of the people, and who, as their
lives have been often imperriled in de-
tending the government of the people,
by 50 nnUch do love and cherish it.
Gen. Lee is widely known as an able
lawyer, an eloquent orator and an up
right and affable gentleman. Having
for some time been associated in the
same command with him in the army
we can speak of his military services
with the more confidence. We first met
him in the winter of '6I when com
manding in West Virginia the Fifty
nth Ohio Infantry, of which Gen. Lee
was then Colonel, and which, it is not
invidiOus to say, was well known as one
Of the best regiments in the Eleventh
Corps. To the end of the war it carried
the flag without q stain of dishOnOr,
passing through Pope's, HoOker's and
Meade's campaigns in Virginia and
Pennsylvania, through sherman's cam
paigns in Georgia and the CarOlinas,
and joining finally in the triumphal re-
view at Washington. At the battle of
Chancellorsvil1e Col. Lee was one of
the few officers who were on the alert
and knew Of the approach of the enc
my. He took the responsibility os send
ing repeated messengers to beadquar-
ters Of the Division and Corps express
ing his belief that the enemy was ap-
preaching on the flank and rear Of the
command and asking that the front
should be Immediately changed. I'm
fortunately his advice was not followed,
though had it been It IS safe to say the
disaster at tChancello1sviIle never would
have happened. Subsequent to that
action he resigned, but re-entered the
service prior to the close Of the war, as
commander Of a regiment.
General Lee possessed the rare rePu-
tatiOn of being popular in his regiment
without the sacrifice Of discipline. For
some time he commanded a brigade
with the ranko of Colonel, in which ca
pacity he richly earned rank eOmmen-
surate with the position he filled, but
which deserved honor he did not receive
until towards the close of the war.
Throughout the Corps he was known as
one of the most efficient discipIinari-
ans, bravest officers and most affable
gentlemen.
With two such men on our ticket as
Hayes and Lee, and our platform of
JUSTICE, we need not fear the result
next fall. The people Of Ohio are not
accustomed to voting down their battle
tried soldiers staining by the flag, the
Union and the rights Of the people
They will roll up such a majority for
them as will send the peace and disu-
Mon faction howling into a perpetual
and deserved oblivion of shame.
