WHOLE NO. 1860.


Here, as in the Senate, the Democ-
racy were compelledto show their hand.
They did so by declaring they were
united in the desire, as a party, for the
"rebel who had borne arms against the
Government to vote" but opposed to
The soldier who fought for the Govern
ment, and it may be, was MANNED and
crippled for life, by one of their favor
ite jeff Dayis's soldiers, exercising the

country he had split his blood to de-
fend and save Such is Ohio Democ-

We have thus, at some length, taken,
from the official proceedings of the
General Assembly the record the DEM
ocracy made in the passage of the most
infamously outrageous and uncOnstitu-
tional law ever enacted in any State.
They, themselves, know it to be such,
and in order to cover it over, passed
another villainous bill disqualifying the
Supreme Court of the State from ex-
amining into the character or eOnsti-
tutionality of the law in question.
Every amendment proposed by the
Republicans was offered in good faith,
hoping that some one of the number
would carry, thereby breaking to some
extent, the power and malignity Of the
blow leveled at the head of the de-
fenseless colored citizen and soldier.
Their evil design has failed, but no
thanks to them for it.
In the November session following,
after the Supreme Court had decided
their disfranchising law unconstitution-
al, Mr.. Kramer of Hardin county, in the
Senate, and Mr.. Rukenbrod of COlum-
biana, in the House, introduced bills,
: respectively, to repeal the obnoxious
: and unjust law so that it would be
wiped off, and no longer disgrace the
] statute books.
Mr.. Kramer could not get consider
alton for his bill in the Senate; and in
the House, near the last day of the
third and long session which ended in
May last, a vote was forced on Mr..
Rukenbrod's bill, which resulted in
every Democrat voting against its re-
, peal, and every Republican in favor.
) Here the Democratic Legislature
once more re-indorsed its action on the
passage of the Visible Admixture bill
with all its infamy and vileness, and at
: the same time, as party, refused to
recognize the authority of the Supreme
: Court by repudiating its decisions.
t When a Democratic Judge decides that
the "Negro has no rights which 3 white
+ man is bound to respect" then the
Democracy say we must obey the judg-
| ment of the Court. When q Supreme
Court says the colored citizen of Ohio
9 shall not be deprived of bis constitu-
tional rights, then the entire Demo
d cratic party, in the person of its cho.
sen representatives, votes to disregard
or repudiate the decision.
This same Democracy ask restora.
I ton to power, that they may furthel
. insult and wrong the people Of Ohio.
