actual rebellion against the general gov
ernment, was SO boldly and unani-
mously expressed in this vote of Dem
ocratic Senators, that we give the yeas
and nays in full on the amendment;
Yeas,-Messrs Con ant Corey, Dang
Ter, Everett, Griswold, Hall, Keifer,
Potts, Simmons and Yeoman. (All
Republicans.)
Nays.-Messrs, Berry, Campbell, Car
ter, Dickey, Dowdney, Emmitt, Evans,
Godfrey, Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, Golden, Hutche-
son, Jamison, Kenney, Lawrence, May,
Onderdonk, Rex, Scribner, ,Stambaugh,
Winner. (All Democrats.)
Mr.. Hall of Lucas, further moved to
"except from the provisions Of the bill
such persons of a visible admixture who
bore arms in defense of the government
of the United States in the recent re-
bellion."
Their hate of the colored man was
so intense that they would not even
except those who always were, under
our constitution and laws, legal voters,
although they "bore arms in defense of
the government" when in danger, whilst
those who sought to deprive them Of
their political rights, were quartered
safely at home, and out of harms way.
Every Democrat voted No on Mr.. Halls
amendment, and every Republican vo-
ted Aye.
Further, Mr.. Griswold of Lorain
county, moved the following amend
ment: "Prcvided that the provisions Of
this act shall not apply to persons hav-
ing a visible admixture of African blood,
who have been crippled, MANNED or
wounded in fighting for the Union"
Here the proposition was simply not
to make any person a voter not al
ready entitled to that privilege, but to
acknowledge some sort of gratitude
to the partially colored man who had
helped to fight our battles, and suffered
in defense of the National Flag the
bullet wounds, and sabre cuts, and am
putated arms and legs, peculiar to close
ly and severely contested struggles on
the fields of war, by allowing him tc
retain the poor privilege of casting q
ballot once Or twice year, at elections
That was not much, and yet n,eany de-
MED by a unanimous Democratic vote
as follows:
YEAs-(Republicans), Burrows, Co.
nant, Corey, Dangler, Everett, Girls
wold, Hall, Keifer, KeSsler, Kramer
Potts, Simmons, Terrence, Woodwork
and Yeoman-15.
NAYs-(Democrats), Campbell, Car
ter, Dickey, Dowdney, Emmit, Evans,
Godfrey, democratic candidate fol
Lieutenant Governor,) Golden, Hutch.
eson, Jamison, Kennedy, Lawrence
Linn, May, Onderdonk, Rex, Scribner
Stambaugh and Winner-19.
QUAR- Would the soldier Rose
Grams fresh from the battle field hav
indOrsed such Democracy, or does b
do it nOwi1
Mr.. Burrows, of Lake county, the
moved to amend, by providing tina
citizens having a preponderance of tn
blood of the white race, shall be deem
ed white citizens under the provision
of this act"
Also lost by the same vote that wer
the previous amendments, showing
persistent determination to violate boil
law and constitution in the enactmen
of their base purpose to disfranchiS
citizens who refuse to vote the Demo
cratic ticket.
These propositions and amendment
were all ably discussed by the Repgb
lican Senators and enforced with th
power that Right and Justice give to
good cause. The Democracy attempt
ed no justification of their villany; bu
boldly declared they intended passini
the bill because they had the dispositio
and power to do so, and to secure pc
litical ends alone.
Accordingly, on motion of the pre-
vious question by Mr.. Stambaugh, {
Tuscarawas, the bill was passed in tn
Senate by the following vote-DemC
cratic Senators, except Mr.. Berry, al
sent on account of i'll health, all votinl
yea; and all the Republican Senator
except two, who were absent on leave
voting nay, as follows:
YEAs-Campbell, Carter, Dickey
Dowdney, Emmit, Evans, GoDFRE,
Democratic candidate for Lieutenar
Governor,) Gordon, Hutcheson, Jam
son, Kenney, Lawrence, Linn, May
Onderdonk, Rex, Scribner, Stambaugl
Winner--19,
NAYs-Burrows, Conant, Core,
Danglsr, Everett, Griswold, Hall, Kei
er, Kessler, Kramer, Potts, Simmon
Terrence, Woodwork, Yeoman-lj
What record for Democratic Sci
ate Let the people consider it, blu'
for it-repudiate it.
Now turn to the equally black ar
J disgraceful pages ofthe
{ HOUSE JoURNAL,
and see the same preconcerted, caucus
ed villainy duplicated
When the bill came to the Hous
and was read the third time, Mr.. Die
son, of Lorain county, moved to +
commit it to a select committee of on
with instructions to amend as follow
'But if, from the evidence adduce
the Judges of election, or a majority
! them, shall be satisfied that the perst
