The Vinton record. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1866-1891, 1868-08-06


IT is well for the people TO
mark this fact: When they are
asked to give their votes for "a
white mans government" they
are asked to vote TO remove
every obstacle in the way ot
the Ku-Klux Klan, and to give
the miscreants who control
tlcm full opportunity to carry
on their hellish work without
restraint or fear. The Demo.
cratic policy is TO place the
South entirely in the hands Of
the men who are now resorting
to secret organizations to vent
their rage upon Unionists, to
allow them to murder in open
daylight, and by color of laws
of their own making, and to
permit them to come into Con-
gress and join their sympathi-
zers North in governing the
whole Nation. = + y

DSNSihS SAVA surely uOluj tHey
haye pitched the keynote of
the campaign by reviving that
same old system of rebel war
fare which it took four years of
war to put down. Understand
ing the friendship of the Demo
cratic candidates iortheir cause,
they do not hesitate to declare
that "the rebellion is more
alive than ever" and that the
election Of Seymour and Blair
will again put this rebel ele-
ment in power. We take the
following from the speech of
Dunlap Scott, of Rome, Geor-
gia, Democratic member Of the
House, and one of the most vio-
lent rebels of that State:
"And if members are not eli
gible to seats under the recon-
struction measures Of Congress,
what thenl Did we ever swear
to support those measures9-
Never and / for one. so help
me God, never, never will! Let
Gen. Meade bring his soldiers
to take any of US out of this
hall. He must do so to get me
out; for | will never leave ex-
cept at the point of the bayo-
net. lfl am forced away, | will,
for the time, take refuge some
where until the little brief au-
(hority Of Gen. Meade is with
drawn, and then return to this
hall and legislate as those who
sent me here intended l should.
| am like old Curtius, willing to
sacrifice myself in this cause.
We have long been ground be-
meath the heel of tyranny, and
should submit no longer. Every
worthy Georgian should be
willing now TO throw himselfin
the gulfand make US free again.
After this, in the midst of his
violently inflammatory har.
angue, he boasted how he had
met Gen. Meade on the field of
battle, which called forth lusty
cheers from the rebels IN the
gallery. You should rather go
back to your seats pallid
corpses, said the speaker, than
submit to the tyranny that op-
presses you. He then related
the incident which led to Wash.
ington's order: ''Put none but
Americans on guard tonight"
referred to men once living in
the North occupying seats in
the Legislature, and said our
motto should now be: "Put none
but Georgians on guard!" .,,
And Mr., Scott continued to,
rage and foam, and tear his
hair he denounced Congess as
a "so-called" body; he told his
followers that they ought to die
like the Spartans at Thermopy-
lac; for himself he hated the
whole concern; he had volun-
teered in the rebel army in
1861; he had fought until Lee
surrendered at Appomattox,
and was proud of it to-day.
The people can not mistake
the character Of these violent
rebel harangues. They mean
war; war to the knife, and
knife to the hilt, and before
they do anything to assist such
men as Seymour and Blair to
power, they should weigh well
their actions, lest by their own
hands they again plunge our
country into civil war.

This we take from a commu-
niealion in the Enquirer of
last week. In an editorial, Mr..
Bowen has the impudencc to
charge Hon. John 7. Wilson
With VIII. sending one thousand dol
lars to our Central Committee
for electioneering purposes,
which he knows was a bare
faced falsehood, and in another
column Of his paper publishes
and endorses this appeal from
a correspondent to raise funds
to carry on a Ku-Kiux Democ-
racy campaign. Now, you have
made the charge against Nj.
Wilson, and we call on you for
the proof Where is the mon.
ey? In whose hands did it fall?
We dare YOU to prove what
you have charged. Either do it
or forever hold your peace
about honest men. AS to what
we have charged, we only have
to asks those interested to read
the communication signed *
in last weeks Enquirer.
THE Enquirer denies that
Joe Williams, OF Tennessee,
was admitted as a cOlored del.
egate to the New York Con
yention. We charge that he
was, that he had the proper
and Unnecessary credentials, and
that lie was admitted on said
credentials, and recognized as
regular delegate in said Con
ventiop. Now,neighbor, answer
us this question. If we prove
by Democratic authority that
Joe was thar with his black
skin, and as a regular delegate,
will you acknowledge it, and
tell your readers that a nigga1
is as good as anybody if he
will only vote the Democratic
ticket? If you win admit this,
if we prove it, then we will
bring to our aid that best Of
Democratic authority, the N.
Y. Day Book. An answer ex-
pected next week.

A FORTUNATE PRECAUTIoN.-The Con-
servative challengers in each ward have
entered in q book prepared for the pur-
pose the name of every negro that has been
registered, with full description Of his
person, age, occupation, place of resi-
dence, with number and street. In one
ward alone, it has been discovered that
sixty negroes have represented them
selves as living in q small tenement
on Shockoe Hill not capable of containing
or accommodating, spoon fashion, more
than eight or ten. At the proper time
these frauds will be examined into. The
managers of the poor negroes seem dis
posed to crowd them at the polls, crowd
them into small tenements, and then crowd
them out Of the fat offices.
