The Vinton record. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1866-1891, 1868-01-30

GEN. BERoTH EGGLEsToN, form
erly of the 1st Ohio Cavalry,
and we'll known to the citizens
of this part of the State, has
been elected President OF the
Mississippi State Constitution
al Convention, by the "Radi'
GALS"
Gen. EGGLEsToN, we believe,
was formerly a Democrat; we
know, at least, that he was con-
servative in feeling. His ex-
perience in the army, together
with his residence in the South
since the close of the rebellion,
now places him, as it would
any man with any of the spirit
of an American OF a Jot OF
love or pride for the country
and its institution, in what the
Democracy are pleased to call
the "Radical" party.
In this connection we wish
to call the attention OF fair
minded people to the curses
and slurs cast upon the mem
bers of the several Southern
State Conventions, the charges
that they are a set. of ignoram
uses, knaves, fools, villains, etc
Gen. EGGLEsToN, we presume
may be taken as a representa-
tive man of the Radical por
ton of the Convention, else h
would not have been electe'
as their President. The ac
ouaintance our citizens hay
with him will enable them t
judge of the injustice OF Dem
ocratic criticisms upon tn
character of this and simila
bodies, and we hope will lea
them, and especially his ol
comrades of the 1st Ohio, t
cast their votes so as to assis
these true loyal men in formin
a government under whic
they may have protection fo
their lives and property.

The Jackson Standard says:
"The Vinton Record is one
of the spiciest and best little
papers on our exchange list,
but it is awfully green about
some things. The trouble is,
the editor has never lived
among Democrats until he
went to Macarthur. We infer
this from the fact that lie ap.
pears to think it strange that
Democrats and negroes associ-
ate upon perfect equa lity'
A short time ago he spoke
about a white Democratic
young lady of the "fathers
protect US from niger equali-
ty" persuasion, who was about
TO marry a negro. And last
week he has the following
Here follows the item from
the Record of the Democrats
and negroes fiddling and dan
cling together at Wilkesville. J
The less we say about the
first part of Bro. MACKLEY's re,
mark the better, but we stand
ready to answer to his verdant
charge. We know that what
he says of the terms of associ
alton of Democrats and ne
groes is true; and that a Jack
son county, Kentucky, Tennes
see or Texas Democrat would
not pretend to deny it; but oul
Vinton County Democracy
claim that such things are al
bogus-that its like the mill
sickness, none of it here, bu
powerful bad in the lowe
DISTRICTS" In order to convinct
them of the prevalence of thu
disease we are obliged to pub
lish a diagnosis of the case'
occurring under their owl
eyes.

NPW 1OTh, DEC. lf, lCOi)
In my Card of Nov. l, 1857, I stated
that, Sfor the purpose eOfInoretuiiy

and In order 10 prevent unscrnpu"
IOus dealers from palDslng Oh intc-
rior and worthless goods ns the
Morton Cola Pens, i shall here
after sell no goods at IEholcSaie
except only TO duly appointed ana
authorized Agents,o etc. To tins
plan I have since strictly adhered.
In accepting Agents, great care has
been exercised TO appoint those who
by long-continued fair dealing, have
acquired q reputation for honesty.
responsibility, and probity-men iu
whose wor d the public have learned to
place confidence. These Agents have
agreed to keep n full assortment ofmy
pens, and to sell them at my published
lrices. Thus the public are supplied
by them with just such pens AS they
want, either as to writing or price, and
get O full equivalent for the money
paid. c.,,,,

SO that all who want a Morton Gold
Pen must get it from the Local Agent
or from headquarters.
None need apply for the Agency ex-
cept in conformity to the above, the
liberal discount "To Clubs" being
suffioient ,nducement to all others.

Is There a Possibility of Fail
ure?

Our friends have often asked
us: IF GRANT is nominated is
there possibility of failurep
While the loyal people know
and can appreciate the great is
sues that will be involved in
the next Presidential canvass;
while they know, so far as the
human mind can comprehend
it, the value of our system OF
government; while they know
that the Union party is the sal
walton of the country; while
they know the eternal justice
of our cause, and the infamous
and damnable character of the
treason which they have been
forced to meet in arms; while
they know that hundreds OF
thousands of men and millions
of treasure have been laid upon
the altar of our country to save
it from the iron grasp of the
marauding horde; and above
all, while they have an abiding
faith in a God of justice who
rules the destiny of Nations; it
is clearly out of place and need
less, in any of our plans for the
future to entertain even the
possibility of success. We an
swer, therefore, that General
GRANT, or whoever may be cho-
sen as the Standard bearer Of
the Union party, will be trium-
phantly elected, and by such a
majority that the whole land
will take up the shout Of vic
tory.

Then and Now.

Last fall it was not an un-
comon thing for Democrats to
say that persons of African de-
scent, but more than halfwhite
were white men, and were
clearly, under the constitution,
entitled to a vote; that they
were not opposed to negroes
voting, but they didn't want a
mass of ignorance thrust upon
the ballot box. They played
their card finely on the con-
servative dodge, and now hold
a majority in both houses of
our Legislature.
Let us see how their acts
now correspond with their
words then. No sooner are
they in power than a bill is in
troduced making it a 'peniten-
tiary offense for a judge OF
an election to receive a ballot
from a person of visible ad-
mixture of African blood. Will
Democrats who asserted that
a man who was more white
than black was white, stand
meekly by and see these 'oh'te
mems rights invaded? Will
Democrats who maintained
that this class had a clear
right under the constitution to
the ballot, still adhere to the
Democratic party, and assist
in depriving these citizens OF
their constitutional lights =
Will Hon. A. J. SWAIN who as
sented to this doctrine, if not
in direct words, by his acts,
vote for this bill depriving
white men of their constitu.
tional rights! Last fall he
did not deny nor attempt to
deprive JOE LUCAS of the priv
ilege of the franchise. Will
he as a legislator go back on
his record as a candidate9 We
predict that he will. The con-
servatism of last fall will all
run into Democratic radicalism
before the winter closes.

VICTORY VICTORY II
THE REACTION SET mi
1000 Republican Majority !!

The election in.the Sth Dis.
trict resulted in the choice of
Gen. BEATTY, Republican can,
sidate, over BURNS, Democrat,
by 1000 majority, a Republican
gain of 800.
This election has been regard
ed by both Republicans and
Democrats as the trial of
strength for the Presidential
contest, and both parties work
ed hard.
The great reaction of which
we read in Democratic papers
appears to have been working
in the opposite direction from
what they so confidently told
us it would.
The people have seen the clo'
ven,foot of the occupants of our
State House, and repudiate the
ownership of the beast. Set
Ohio down for q hundred thou
sand for GRANT, or whoever
may be our candidate.

The Meanest kind of DemOc-
racy.


racy.
last week the Democracy
attempted to rush a billthrough
the Legislature by which they
could deprive the students at
the Delaware College of the
privilege of voting at the spec
ial election for member of Con-
gress, held i'll the Sth district
last Monday. On counting
noses it was discovered that
THURMAN's spree had so demor-
allied the forces that they were
unable to rally in time, and
the young men of Delaware,
Notwithstanding they were
guilty of the heinous crime Of
?
attending college, were per-
mitted to vote.
While the Democracy are
engaged in partisan legislation
we can suggest a few items that
they might reduce to law, and
thereby increase the relative
strength of their party at the
polls. For instance: that all
persons who shall be found
guilty of the ability to read
and write, or who shall
compel their children to at
tend school, shall thereby be
deprived of the right to vote
at any election held within the
limits of the State of Ohio;
that the inmates of the Sol
dier's Home shall not have the
privilege of the franchise; that
any judge of an election who
shall receive the ballot of any
person whom there is reason
able grounds to suppose was
honorably discharged from the
army, shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor and imprison-
ed years in the State Pen
itentiary; provided that the
