( that could much more prohtaOlY be

material and monetary interests OF
the people.
II defeated, like every other de
mand for equal and evcn-banded
Justice to all, it could not remain
smothercd, and would not be
strangled but rise mp again and
again, like Banquo's ghost, con
fronting its opposers. Nor could
we forget, either, that the ne
gro had well proven his feality to
his country, and stood forth be-
meath the ample starry folds Of the
national ensign, high in air, made
resplendent by the historic names
of Fort Wagner, Helena, Milli-
kan's Bend, Fort Pillow, Fort Fish
er, Petersburgh, and Port Hudson,

The Republican State convention
of 1869 engrafted into its platform
of principles upon which it placed
its candidates, and went to the peo-
pie for their suG'rages and support,
the following resolution:
3. ResolUed, That the abolish
ment of slavery was a natural and
necessary consequence Of the war
Of the rebellion, and that the recon
struction measures Of Congress
were measures well adapted to
effect the reconstruction of the
Southern States and secure the
blessings Of liberty and free gov
ernment, and as completion OF
those measures, and firmly beliey-
ing in its essential justice, we are
in favor of the adoption of the 10Th
amendment to the Constitution.
The Republican party, its candi-
dates and platform, were discussed
and assailed upon every stump and
by the newspaper press from the
lakes to the river, and from one
end Of the State to the other.
And on the 11th day of October,
A. D. 1869, the freemen of Ohio
went to the polls and endorsed and
approved by majority Of nearly
ten thousand Of that party its can
didates aud principles, and made
Rutherford B. Hays their Chief
Magistrate for two years more.
And the gallant little County Of
Fayette uttered her unmistakable
voice in favor of that party, its
platform and candidates, and among
the results | was chosen by the
people of that county as their Rep
resentative in the General Assem-
bly, Of the State.
