ment, the Abolition leaders have de
clared their willingness TO have a con
! solidated, central government, witl
unlimited powers, which is to enac
and enforce such election laws as th,
caprice of the Abolition leaders MAY
deem most apt to secure perpetuity o
power in that party,%by tramplins
down and disregarding the reserved
rights of the States.
The people of Ohio never gave theil
consent to this iniquity-they never
asked their perfdious Representative:
to support such a detestible measure
aud those who, for Grants gold, and
through ambition, and fraud, perpe.
trated this great wrong will be hell
to a strict account by the people.
The fact that, when the question OF
striking the word "white" from our
State Constitution two years ago,
when presented to the people, was
defeated by a majority of over fifty
thousand votes, leads the Abolition
sneaks in the Ohio Legislature, to re-
pudiate the will of the people, and re-
fuse to let them be heard upon the
proposition of Nh. Campbell The
Abolition leaders have no confidence
in the people. They regard the Ia
boring masses as SO many cattle to be
driven to the shambles by military
tyrants and despots!
No party ever prated more Justify
about liberty, equality and fraternity
than the Abolition party, and no par
ty eyer violated more boldly and
shamelessly every thing in relation
to the rights Of men, of communities,
and States, than the, leaders OF that
party. Even Robcspierre, Danton,
and Marat, were patriots compared
with Stanton, BEAST 1tlar, Joe Holt,
Bingham and .litde bell' Seward,

These men now undertake to tell
the people that If the requisite num-
Der of States adopt the Fifteenth Con-
stitutional Amendment it will become
a part of that Instrument, by the
sovereign will ofthe peoplel! If to
dishonesty, perjury and murder
cleaning bayonets and the vrilainy of
Military Satraps be added, we have the
whole thing in a nut. she'll. 1sS. ss; H.
With tens OF thousands of soldiers

intimidate, rob and murder the PEG;
pie, lead Oh by. merclless, yenal and
cowardly officers, with their States
out of the Union by the Abo-
litionists in Congress, and placed un-
der these robbers, the people are told
that when they enfranchise their ne
groes, change their State Constitu-
and hand their governments over
to the rule of Yankee carpet-b agyers
and negroes, they will again be per.
to enter the Union! y J al
And yet, we have some mis-led
citizens, who are willing to justify this
infamy; and who tell US in very grave
language, that the question is fairly
to the people of the South
for their consideration? Yes, it is
