We take the Following from the
APpeafs Washington special of the
2sth uit.: "The dominant party in
Congress seem to act upon the idea
that they are damned politically be-
yond redemption, and therefore they
can incur no greater penalties BY
heaping iniquity upon iniquity. Their
last domination Is a bill introduced
in the House yesterday and passed.
II provides that in case a Senator Of
the United States becomes President
Of the United States, by reason Of
having been President pro tenn. OF
the Senate, and bis term of Office as
such Senator shall expire before the
next Presidential election provided
by law, such Senator shall, notwith-
standing the expiration Of his term
Of Office as Senator, continue to hold
theolicc Of President until his sue
cessor Is elected and qualified at the
time regularly prescribed by law
and the Office Of such Senator shall
be vacatcd from and after the time
he shall become President rs afore-
said. All Of this, Of course, Is 70
provide for Ben. Wade, who has jus,
been repudiated by his own State.

Natural zat,on,

We hope that our friends through.
out the county will take immediate
measures to have every body who is
entitled to be naturalized in time fol
the October and November elections
attended to.
The persons entitled to naturaliza-
ton under the laws of the United
States, are as follows: if1 "'
Any free white alien over twenty
one years of age, who has resided il
the United States for five years, and
who shall have at least two years pre-
ceeding his application for second pa
pers, made the necessary declaration
of intentions and taken out his frs
papers, is entitled upon proof of sucl
declaration of intention, to his fina
naturalization papers.
I'd. Any free white alien. who ar
rived in this country under eighteer
years, and who has resided in it five
years, is entitled to his final natural
ization papers. mod sa sri -.

DAVE TOP is announced as one of
the spouters at the Radical meeting to
be held here on the oath inst. In
stead of rehearsing the stale old story
about dancing with the Empress Of
Brazil, how long he had been a Demo
crat; how he was once Governor OF
Ohio (and wanted to be again, but
found too many delegates opposed to
him in the Convention, among whom
was majority of those from Portage,)
of how many members the Tod fami-
ly is composed and how many are yet
in expectancy-instead of repeti-
ton of such twaddle for the fortieth
time or more, we hope he will conde-
scend to enlighten the people as to
how much the State made in that
little speculation of selling out to his
Exeellency the States interest in the
Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal.

To What we are Coming.

Georgia is one of the States recon-
structed on the Radical plan, and it is
the worst specimen of construction
or reconstruction the world ever saw.
The Legislature of the State is largely
radical, embracing many negroes a
mong its members until recently. The
Legislature being in session, a Radi-
cal white member moved an inquiry
into the question of the eligibility of
negroes to seats in that body. After
full investigation the negroes were de-
clared to be ineligible, and were ac-
cordingly excluded, and thereupon
the Radical press and politicians be-
come terribly enraged and pitch into
their reconstructed brethren of Geor-
gia in most furious manner. They
declare that this action of the Georgia
Legislature is in direct violation of the
fourteenth amendment of the Consti-
tuition, and that the exclusion of the
negroes is an insult to the dignity of
the Nation, to avenge which loyal
President would have sent down Sher-
idan and a division ol veterans" Let
the people of Ohio think of these
things and ponder them well. By
the Constitution of our own noble
State, adopted by the free choice of
the free citizens, unawed by the tyran-
ny of fanatical Rump Congress, the
right and duty of deciding all ques-
election, returns and qualifications of
members of cur Legislature are etrust-
ed to the Houses respectively; and
this is the case in every State in which
the people have freely made their fun
damental law. The famous, or rather
the infamous fourtc ,nth amendment
is as applicable to the State of Ohio
as to Georgia, and, fthe right to vote
and hold seats in the Legislature of
the latter State is conferred upon the
negroes thereby, the same right is also
conferred upon them in Ohio. What
would the people think to have loyal
President send Sheridan and divis-
ion of veterans into this State to CO.
erce the people who repudiated negro
suffrage by a majority of $4,000 into
submission to this tyrannical demand
by the application of Garfield's pow
erful argument, " a triangular;piece of
steel called a bayonetp Have the peo-
pie OF. the States parted with their right
to control their own domestic affairs
without let or hindrancc from an inso-
lent and ltyrannical centralized despo-
tism at Washington? Let the peo-
pie pause and consider whether we
are not fast drifting into a miserable
centralized despotism under the rule
of the Radical Jacobins.

The Land of despotlsm.

Senator Doolittle, in a letter to q
Democratic meeting thus concludes
"From where stood this morning,
upon the steps of the Capitol, with the
flag of the Union over me, can look
upon the land of absolute, unqualified
despotism. fl visit Mt. Vernon and
sit down by the tomb of Washington,
I si5 under the shadow of military
dictatorship, more unlimited than can
be found in any civilized country OF
the globe. Constitutional liberty is
already bound, scourged and crowned
with thorns here, in her own sacred
temple. Shall the General of the
army, urged on by the Jacobin chief
priest cruelty her on this sacred capi-
tol hill, in her own banner amid the
SCOTS and jeers of all the despots OF
the old world ?" ..'',t' v ..'.

Democratic Cottrn ty Convention

Dc1uOCTdGAC OOlHCy convention
The TiclSet.+-We publish else
where the official proceedings of the
Democratic County Convention held
in this place on Saturday. The town
ships of the county were pretty gem
orally represented, but, owing TO the
Mass Meeting at Akron on that day,
three or four townships in the vicinity
of Summit county, neglected to send
delegates. Still spirit of enthusiasm
and determination was manifested in
the Convention that has not been ex-
hibited before for years. aa
The ticket put in nomination is a
good one, composed of gentlemen
earnestly attached to the principles of
the party, possessed of the character
and ability necessary to qualify them
for the several offices for which they
have been put in nomination, and they
deserve, as no doubt they will receive,
the united and cordial support of the
Democracy and conservative men of
the county. .Hf
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1868-09-17

The Democratic meetings through
the County are very fully attended,
and the people manifest a strong de-
sire to hear the great political ques-
tions at issue, discussed. There has
never been time when more earnest
ness and determination has been ex-
hibited Oh the part of the Democracy.
We hope the Democracy will urge
their Republican neighbors to turn out
to these meetings and listen to the dis
cussion of the questions which relate
to the interest of the whole people.

Earthquake In South America.

Terrible Earthquake In South America.
New York, Sept, 12.
The Guiding Star, from Aspinwall,
brings the EUening Telegram the fol-
lowing:
On the 18th of August a terrible
earthquake visited the cities along the
coast of Peru and Ecuador, whereby
thirty-two thousand lives were lost,
and property valued at three hundred
million of dollars was destroyed.
A rumbling sound preceded the
earthquake, and the sea was terribly
agitated. 1t flooded the land for a
great distance.
Arequipa, city of $4,000 inhabit-
ance, passed away, and scarcely ves-
tige was left. Only four hundred lives
were lost here.
africa, town Of $4,000 inhabitants,
was also destroyed, leaving not house
standing. Five hundred perished
here. .a.
A tidal wave forty feet high rolled
with terrific roar on the shore, carry
ing ships farther on land than ever
before known.
The United States storeship Fredo-
mia capsized, and all on board was
lost. The FredoniG had one million
eight hundred thousand dollars worth
of naval stores on board. The vessel
was rolled over and smashed to atoms.
The United States steamer Wateree
was carried half mile inland, and
left high and dry. Only one sailor
was drowned. Owing to the great
distance, the Waterec never can get
afoat again. As
The Peruvian corvette America was
also carried ashore, and thirty-three
drowned from her.
The American merchantmen Rosa
RiVera the English ship Chancellor,
and the French bark EdaU0Tds, were
also lost.
The towns of Iquivue, Moquega,
Locumba and Pisaqua were all utterly
destroyed. Over six hundred perish
ed at Iquique.
The American merchants lose heav-
lily. Nearly all are totally ruined.
The towers of Ibarra I, San Plabo,
Atuntagui, and Imanted are in ruins,
and where Catacachi formerly stood
there is now lake.
The populations of the above named
towns were almost entirely destroyed.
Puncho, Tuellaro, and Cachiguanio
were also destroyed. II
=. The dead are SO numerous that the
surviving inhabitants have been forced
to fly from the purifying bodies. In
Guayaquil the earthquake was felt,
but no damage was done.
Letters from Quito, dated the 10Th,
announce there the earthquakes con-
tinue at intervals ofa few hours. The
President had issued a proclamation to
the people to come forward and help
the sufferers. s...
A telegram from Havana to the
Associated Press gives the following
account: .-.
Advices have been received here an.
nouncing that Peru and Ecuador have
been visited with the most terrible
earthquake ever known. The shocks
occurred on the 10Th of August, and
lasted only five minutes. In that
short time twenty-five thousand per.
sons perished, and three hundred
thousand were made homeless. The
sea rose forty feet and swept the
coast with Irresistible fury. The cities
of Arequipa, Iquique, Tehala and
Chueha have been utterly destroyed
The loss Of property between Taeh.
land and AFRICA is estimatsd at $14,.

Fulfllment of Prophesy.

In 1s43, Henry Clay, who was the
idol of the Whig party, made the fol-
lowing prophesy: A4l' -lp.
/ The agitation of the Slavery ques-
ton in the free States will ''
1st. Destroy all harmony.
+ I'd. Lead to division.
3rd. To poverty.
4th. To war,
9th. To the determination of the
black race. .-
9th. To ultimate military despot-
ism.
The country has already realized the
entire fulfillment of that prophesy,
and yet the Radical destructives per-
sistently declare that the agitation OF
the slavery question had nothing to do
in bringing about our great national

Temperance Meeting.

1t will be seen by a notice in anoth-
1 erseolumll, that DR.. Jewett is to ad-
dress the people of this County at this
place on the subject of Temperance.
We copy the following notice of the
Dr.'s Lecture from the Toledo Blade
of Aug. 3. s.f25;5'izf '1.ai's'
"TEMPERANCE LRoTURE.-Dr. jew
ett, of Connecticut, delivered an ad-
dress on the important subject Of
temperance, at ST. Pauls M. E. Church
last evening, The wide reputation of
the Docter, and his candid and scien-
tific treatment of the subject, attracted
a very large congregation, who listen
ed with great interest to his presenta-
ton of the subject. The Doctor dis
claims all, pretansion to oratory, but
deals largely in plain facts, physical
and moral, and by this means is cal
culated to produce more lasting effect
than would result from an emotional
appeal to the feelings. He confined
himself chiefly to the negative quail
tiles of alcohol, and labored to disa-
buse the minds of his hearers of the
falacy entertained by many, that the
human system can be built up and
nourished by fiery stimulants. He
arranged. the facts of chemical science
in such a simple and yet effective
manner as apparently to convince
the judgment of his hearers, and we
have no doubt that.good will result
| from his teachings"
