.INFIRM OF PURPOsE.,,

We learn that Judges of Election in,
various localities in this neighborhood re-
ceived negro votes on Monday. These
men had taken an oath to support the
Constitution and laws OF Ohio; and our
constitution makes white male citizens"
only, entitled to vote. These Judges were
governed or scared by Grants proclama-
ton we presume. Even admitting all
that this Proclamation claims, it has not
overthrow the constitution of this state
IN that particular Congress has not yet
passed an act to enforce their niger busi-
ness, and provide punishment for viola
tion thereof 1t will be time enough then
to be thus subservient to the tyrant man
dates of our king log" The Americans
of 1776 were not thus ''infrm of purpose"
and thus obsequious to the mandates OF
George Third and his myrmidons. Let
our friends acquire solidity of stomach
for this business, and let US all resolve to
maintain, by word and act, the supremacy
Of the White mans Constitution of Ohio,
which received in 1867 an endorsement Of
53,O 900 majority We do not believe in
this tame acquiescenee in tyranny and
usurpation.
Let the Democracy in every state or
ganize by townships and counties at once
and adopt programme looking to bust
ness. The violent. usurping hand ofrevOlu-
ton, robbery and wrong must be met with
colmness, frmness, and at all hazards.

TO the moneyed power and for years has
been one of their champions in Congress
helping TO establish upon the country this
money-mihtary usurpation. The Demo-

what they were doing, that they were CEN
tralizing all power in Congress and that 1t
was to be controlled by Bondholders, Ma
tional Bankers and their military friends.
Every aet of the party in power has been
to establish despotism and .OpPress and

TuE ELECTIoN d CANTON

On Monday last passed of quite civilly,
but resulted in making our 6laekness more
visible. The niggers voted and the white
mans ticket did not get votes enough.
The thing was indeed mixed up horribly
and we never saw SO much scratching,
cross firing, and so little party obligation
among Democrats as on last Monday,
The result is not so much the work of Re-
publicans as it is of Democrats them
selves. We say this more in sorrow than
in anger.
We lose cur township Trustees, the JUS
tiee, Constables and the two city officials
voted for; while We elect the Township
Clerk, Treasurer and Assessor, and fol
city council elect our members and asses
sors in the 50 and 4th wards. thus keep
ing our one majority in the council. We
refer our readers to thetable in this paper
