The Democratic press of
the State are parading the fact
that bond holders are paid in
gold while army and navy pen
sionsers are paid in greenbacks.
Well, who is wronged by it?
Have we deceived or cheated
any person9 Did we not agree
with these bond.holders that if
they would lend us their mon
ey to pay our soldiers, who
were then in the field and
needed it, that We would pay
the interest on the loan in
gold? Shall we meet the obli-
cations we owe to our friends
honestly, or shall We take upon
ourselves to become a nation
of swindlers? But have we
wronged the soldiers9 AZ the
beginning and at the close of
the war a full pension was
eight dollars. A full pension
is now twenty five dollars in
greenbacks, which at the pres.
ent price Of gold is equivalent
to about eighteen dollars in
gold-more than twice the
amount of pension promised.
We do not say that it is an
equivalent to any man who has
lost a leg or an arm in the ser.
vice +; but we do say it was
more than promised, is more
than is provided by any other
country, and is as good as we
could expect in the present
state Of the finances OF our
country!

The Issue In yInton.

The Democracy have given
up all hopes of electing their
State Ticket; they have given
up all hopes of defeating the
amendment +, but they do have
hopes Of electing enough SEM
ators and Representatives to
send VALLANDIaHAM to the
United States Senate in the
place of the old war horse,
BEN WADE. They think that
by changing a few thousand
votes in Southern Ohio, where
the distri cts are close, using the
Negro for hobby, they can Sc
cure a majority in the General
Assembly. Mr.. SWAIN is one
of the men they hope to eject
il order to accomplish their
ends. The issue is now fairly
presented to you. The candi.
dates for United States Senator
whose names will be presented
to the Legislature are as well
known to-day as ever they will
be; BEN. WADE on the one hand
and VALLANDIGHAM on the
other. The question for you
to decide is, will you support
Hon. JOHN LEE and BEN. WADE,
or will you support Mr.. SWAIN
and VALLANDIGHAMg will you
allow our State TO be disgraced
by sending the most notorious
os all rebel Sympathizers y to
the United States Senate, or
will you 60 to work with a will
and secure this county for Mr..
FEE and the Union ticket
Soldiers! this is the issue. Are
you fully alive to the impor-
tance of the campaign?

"Nigger-Ni Nigger-Nigger.' %

~.-ScN@ Ni6 9OAs
For the twentieth time, at
least, the Democrats have open
ed the annual political cam.
paign with the cry of "nigger."
Their motives for opposing the
extension of the right ofsuffrage
are now being unnasked. In
the first place, they oppose it
because, if the Constitutional
Amendment prevails, the ne
gro question will be forever
settled, and the Copperheads
will lose all there heavy ar
tillery. And in the second
place, Democrats must hare
somebody to look doaon upon.
1t is a necessity of their ex.
istance, and without it they
would be supremely unhappy.
They feel and know that the
negro is their equal in every
thing except political rights.
The majority of men always
desire to vote for men for office
whose abilities and attain
ments are superior to their
own. Democrats fear that if
negroesare given the full rights
of citizenship they will be ir-.
resistibly impelled to vote for
them for constables, supervi-
sors, and other high and re-
sponsible offices. And then ev-
cry Democratic bachelor feels
in his very soul that unless
some legal barrier is interpos-
ed, his natural inclinations
will lead him to marry a black
or copper colored lady; and if
colored men are thus deprived
of their natural partners, they
in turn will be compelled to
marry white ladies ofthe Dem
ocratic persuasion. Can that
be the reason why some color
ed men are opposing the Con-
stitutional Amendments Do
they fear that Democrats will
marry their daughters 2 Would
it not be well forcolored ladies
to sign and publish a pledge
that in no event will they mar
ry a Democrats ar h.la, -s
Ifthere is one young Repub.
lican in the State who fears
that the adoption of the
Amendment will lead him to
marry a black woman, he
should, by all means, o vote
against it. ao djlaaH 80 r.
The proposition that the
right of suffrage carries with it
any social rights is a mon
strous absurdity. Judge Thur.

Democrats of that school, do

the distinguished Democratic
martyr, Lambdin P. MiIligan.
late of the Ohio Penitentiary,
said in a recent speech in In.
diana that the free school sys-
tem is pernicious, and boasted
that some years ago he was

dren IN a free school. We have
official evidence before us to
prove that the hatred of the in.
famous Milligan of Indian a, to.
wards our free school system,
is cherished and taught by the
Copperhead leaders of Wayne
county. In his report to the
State School Commissioner,
the present Auditor Of Wayne
comfy declared officially and
under oath, as follows:
Schools.-I think the whole
system had better be abolish.

The above will be found in
the last annual Report of the

The Democracy and our Ma
tionaI Debt. : a. .

All at once become very pa
triotic; from being earnest ad-
vocates of reputation, they
have turned to be just as earn.
est advocates of the necessity
Of paying our debt. Not Ion.
ger ago than last winter they
were in favor of returning to
specie payment without delay,
Notwithstanding the fact that
there was little or no specie in
the country to-day they have
dropped their cry Of" "hard mon
ey," and are advocating an is
sue of THREE THOUSAND MILLIONS
of greenbacks with which to
pay off the National debt. We
will say nothing of the homes.
tv of their desire to pay off the
debt in what they are pleased
to term worthless rags, when
we have promised upon our
honor as a nation to pay it off
in gold ; nor of the consistency
of advocating six weeks ago
a hard currency, and to-day a
paper currency. We will
merely call the readers atten.
ton to what would be the
the state of his own individual
finances in case this Democrat
&c policy is adopted. We will
suppose you have a farm
which you value at one thOus-
and dollars, and which you
sell to their wonderful Demo
cratic financier, Judge THUR
MAN, for one-half cash and one
half at the end oftwo years
In the meantime we will sup
pose the Democratic party is
successful, and the three thous.
and millions more Of green
backs are issued. Judge THUR
MAN being behind the scenes,
ofcourse, buys gold as sson as
he is satisfied his little scheme
will work. Gold will, of fcourse.
go up to prices that were not
even dreamed of by rebels in
their latter days, when they
went out shopping with their
money in a market basket, and
returned home with little bit
Of tea in their vest pocket.
Judge THURMAN quietly holds
on to his gold until his note
falls due, when he just as qui'
etly walks off to a bank with
a one dollar gold piece in his
pocket and purchases enough
greenbacks to lift his note,
and perhaps has quite a hand
some little surplus left. You
being a man of family desire
to make some purchases, and
find that half of your farm
will just about buy enough cal
leo to make your baby a dress.
The value of greenbacks, in
which you would be required
by law to take your pay, would
be about the same as that
much Continental money.
1t is safe to say that a man of
moderate wealth who would
manage his finances as We have
supposed Judge THURMAN
would manage his, could buy
Vinton county,giving his notes,
payable when this Democratic
swindling scheme is carried
INTO execution, and could meet
them with ease, paying
them with what purpor!ed to
be a dollar but was in reality
almost nothing. Ofcourse the
people would be swindled, but
what of that, so leading Dem
ocrats feathered their nests ?
And this is the feast to
which this party invites honest
men. This is the party that
claims to be the poor mans
friend. They have had expe-
rience enough in the way OF
defeat to learn them the truth
ofthat old adage, "Honesty is
the best policy" and yet they
again come before the people
with this rascally scheme and
ask to be endorsed! Rspubli.
