milton of the sublime principles of
the Declaration os Independence are
worthy ofthe organization on whose
banners they are to be written in the
coming contest. Its past record
can not be blotted out or forgotten.
If there had been no Republican
party, slavery would to-day cast it's
baleful shadow over the Republic.
If there had been no Republican
party, free speech and free press
would be as unknown, from the Po-
tomac to the Rio Grande as ten
years ago. If the Republican party
could have been stricken from ex-
istence when the banner of rebellion
was unfurled, and when the response
of "no coercion was heard at the
North, we would have had no ma
ton to-day. But for the Republi-
can party daring TO risk, and the
odium of tax and draft laws, our
flag could not have been kept flying
in the field until the long hoped for
victory came. Without q RepubH-
can party the Civil Rights bills, the
guarantee of equality under the law
to the humble and the defenceless,
as well as the strong, would not be
today upon our national statute
book
With such inspiration from the
past, and following the example OF
the founders of the Republic who
called the victorious General of the
Revolution to preside over the land
his triumphs had saved from its
enemies, / cannot doubt that our
harbors will be crowded with sue
cess, and it will be a success that
shall bring restored hope, conf
dence, prosperity and progress
South as well as North, West as
well rs East, and above all, the
blessings under Providence, of ma
tional concord and peace.
Very truly, yours,
SCHUYLER CoLFAx.

The Disfranchisement of Stu
dents.

The DlSfranchiSemen OF Stu
dents.
At meeting of all the students of
this Otterbein University, called for
the purpose of considering the late
act of the legislature virtually dis
franchising them, they, in express
ion of their sentiment respecting the
act, adopted the following preamble
and resolutions
WHEREAS, The said act in our
opinion merits the just Indignation
of all friends of education and prog
ress in civilization, and the unquali-
fed contempt of all lovers of repub-
licanism, who are interested in the
maintenance ofliberty and our coun-
try's honor and,
Whereas, This iniquitous measure
is manifestly designed to maintain
party ascendency, by depriving the
intelligent portion of the communi-
ty of the elective franchise, alto
gether unworthy of men who pro
fess to be statesmen, and contrary
to their sworn duty; therefore,
Resolued,, That we regard this in
famous act as great stride back
ward in civilization, utterly unbe-
coming this age of enlightment !;
that we look upon it as virtual ac-
acknowledgements that where edu-
cation and intelligence obtain the
Democratic party is unable to flour
ish,
Resolved, That we regard the ex
ercise of the elective franchise as
the indisputable right of all loyal
and well-disposed citizens having
attained their majority, and the in
reference with it as a gross viola
ton of our liberties.
Resolued, That we recognize in this
the work. gs of the same principles
which actuated the Democratic par
ty in their endeavors to disfranchise
our soldiers during the recent war
both acts alike hostile to justice and
revolving to good sense; and that
we will make all honorable endeav-
ors possible to hurl from power this
shameless party, whose triumph is
based upon prejudice, supers4 4tion,
and whisky
| Resolced, That we call upon all
friends of liberty, education, justice,
and propriety speedily to stay stunch
bacchanalian proceedings, by sup
planting these unfaithful men by
sending to the legislature such as
shall be true to honor, principle and
decency
Resozced, That we tender our heart
lest thanks to those members who
So strenuously opposed this dis,
graceful measure.
Resozced, That we send copy O.
these resolutions for publication te
the leading Columbus, Cincinnati
. and Cleveland journals, and the Re
ligious Telescope, and request tht
various county papers to copy.

5. P. CHAsE.-We believe we have
never uttered an unkind word in re-
gard to Mr.. Chase in these columns.
We also believe in being slow to
question mems motives, and to re-
gard them as in sympathy with the
enemy. But there are at this time
so many suspicious in regard to Mr..
Chase which he allows to go un
corrected, that we fear they are
based on facts. That he did more
to defeat impeachment than any
living man, we have no doubt. That
he has the Presidency on the brain,
is also unauestionable. That he is
willing to stand on any platform,
and even become the standard bear.
er of the Copperhead party, we fear
Is only too true.
Mr.. Chase has been the recipient
Of more honors and favors, from
the Republican party, than any other
man living, and yet, instead of ex-
h;biting gratitude for what the
party has done for him, he seems
to barber in his breast mountain
of wrath against the party, because
it's members don't all throw up
their hats and hurrah for Chase in
stead of Grant. The people know
who is most worthy, and act accord
ingly, Mr.. Chase's displeasure not
withstanding.
While we accord to Mr.. Chase
great abilities, and freely acknewl-
edge his services to the country
for all of which he has been we'll
paid-we have long since regarded d
him as a man eminently selfish.

Our Party Leaders.

1t is noticeable characteristic of
the American people that it can al
ways furnish strong and vigorous
minds to lead and control any i'm
portant movement or organization.
Especially is this the case in the Re
publican party. Every Republican
has in himself, the elements of lea
dership, and at all times is the party
educating in it's ranks such an array
oftalent and strength that it is new
er at loss for able men to represent
and urge its ideas.
The vain idea of Chase. Trumbull
Fessenden, and Grimes, that when
they deserted the standard that had
so long waved over them, they took
out with them the braines Of the
party, is continually exploded by
the evidence OF new strength in the
Republican party. In the Chicago
Convention, for instance, can be
found to-day men of no national re-
nown, whose clear convictions,
careful culture, and strength of mind
fit them to take the places that these
men have deserted. So it is now,
and so it always will be, while the
Republican party continues to be
the champion of universal education
enlightened ideas, and social re-
forms.
Without denying the mental
strength of these notable recusants,
we still believe that the party has
yet in it's ranks hosts of men who
are fitted to be its leaders in the
contest that is before. Treachery
of this kind cannot betray us. We
can furnish braines for ourselves
and for the Democratic party in ad
dition. And having done this, we
will be ready to show how much
more eflicacious the justice Of our
cause is, than the fame of these pol
iticians, and Of what strength honest
convictions are, compared with poll
tical experience.-Ioledo Blade

1t is with sorrow we learn of the
death Of Capt. Lewis S. Dilley late
associate editor of the Ohio Repos-
.itory. The Republican says of
him:
He was man Of very radical
views, and being a strong writer and
an indefatigable worker, he must,
had his life been spared, have at
tanned distinction in his chosen call
ing. A man of strictest integrity,
of great ability, just entering upon
life's conflict, we sincerely mourn
the hard fate that cut him down thus
prematurely at the very threshold of
a promising and honorable career.
His age was 35.

Senator Ross has made speech
in vindication of his course, in
which he admits that he had init
mated to several friends up to a
late hour, that he intended to vote
for conviction.
The fact is that he has shown
himself a man of no mind of his
own and utterly unworthy and in
capable to fill the position he occu-
pies. We believe that both Ross
and Fowler are Copperheads at
heart and are working in the inter-
est of that party under the guise of
Republicans. Of all things most
loathsome, there are none like a
sneaking hypocrite.

The Franklin Repository says: Mr..
Wallace, Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, in his address to the Democra-
cy says that Pennsylvania owes Horatio
Seymour a debt OF gratitude for his prompt
aid when her border was attacked.
This, if not contradlcted by those whose
unfortunate experience enables them to
know, would dreasl nably make Pennsylvanians
feel kindly toward Gov. Seymour. The cit
liens of Cham mbersburg, and indeed OF the
whole county of Franklin, have, however,
not forgotten the great rebellion, nor the
loss of life ard property incident to It.
Three times they were overrun and plum
dered, their fields laid waste, their stock
and goods stolen and burned by the rebels
and only once 10y the New y Iork Militia.
Yet but for the last visit OF the rebels, when
they left our town in ashes. we Jared quite

one here into that belief The rights Of
citizens and private property we're perhaps
as much respected by them as by the rebels
themselves, certainly not more and as for

Tn 1915 Frank Blair was an ardent sup
porter of Martin Van Buren, against Gen.
Cass. In company with VIM. NJ kce he
published an abolition paper called the
Bara burner. 1t was the first anti-slavery
paper ever published in a slave state. In
IS54 he Joined the Know Nothings, and
with Kenneth Rayner and other Southern
men, was among the most active leaders of
the organization, the Southern members Of
the order always going farther in their pro-
scription OF Catholics and foreigners than
those in the North. Blair was one of the
inventors OF the famous Third Degree,
and was among the Southern emmiSsaries
who introduced it into Philadelphia One
of his favorite expressions was that he
preferred niger to an Irishman any
time, and thar the Jesuits in which term
he included all Roman Catholics were the
natural enemies of Republicauism all over
the earth, hesitating at no crime, however
black, by which they could assassinate
liberty"
Yet Irizhmen and Catholics must vote for
him, or abandon their friend Seymour
Bitter as the pill they must gulp it down.
They are not even expected to make wry
faces. Strange, indeed, are the mutations
of politics? Wallace the disciple of Lorain,
taught from his infancy to abhor an aboli
zionist, Is the Chairman of a Democratic
Committee urging the election of Frank
Blair! The men, who few years a-o
couldn't find language strong enough to ex-
press their hatred of know Nothings,
are now supporting for Vice President the
greatest Know Nothing Of them all Plun.

/ followers, that man was an Abolitionis
and a Know Nothing, ii by voting for him

is the height Of their ambition, the aim o
their lives, and the full measure of thei

THE BURIAL OF SEYMOUR,
November 8, 1868.
By \ sEYMoURNER.

Not sigh was heard nor funeral note
Asup salt River we hurried,
But we longed to depart from the dreary boat
And wished our leader was buried
He was killed so dead on election day
By the Grant and Colfax iegions-
That nought was left for his friends but to pray
His soul from the internal regions
And thus in the dark and gloomy night
of defeat and despair we're hurried
With his ciay.cold corse concealed from sight
To the place where our dead lay buried.
The coffin was ready ctwas Bemont's best)
And in rebel gray we found him,
He lay like a traitor taxing his rest.
With the stars and bars around him.
Ey the side Of Mcclellan made his grave,
With our torches dimIy burning,
And the same old spades of that gallant brave,
Were used for the salt turf turning.
Few and short were the prayers We said,
We finished our work and left him,
His New York friends still pray for the dead,
Of their masses Nc one has bereft him.
And there he lies in the moonligh: cold,
On the bank Of that lonely river.
No stone was erected the tale to unfold
orr dead are forgotten forever.
And now in the bottle we seek relief,
The offices all have departed,
With Seymour and Blair we have come to grief,
And hence are all broken hearted.

into dram shop, make him drunk and
then rifle his pockets? That seems to be
the only question before the Democracy in

ing Of rascality in him? They havea nice
bit OF reputation to offer him, and will in
troduce Pendleton as capital fellow. Has
the greenhorn liking for blue cloth and
brass buttons? They will quickly doff their
Confederate grey and dress up in Hancock 5
regmentais. Is the greenhorn one Of those
proud CaucaSianS who are afraid of negro
competition? They viii give him a pow
