This bill is so manifestly un-
just that honest Republican
journals all over the State are
condemning it. Here is what
the Bucyrus Journal thinks of
it and Of the men who voted
for it:
KNAvEs AND TRUMPs.-
The redistI'icting of the State
appears to be like a game of
euchre, where there are an
equal number of knaves on
both sides; but in this instance
the Republican knaves being
the right color, black and un-
blushing, force the game,
The disgraceful plan to so re.
district the State, that although
the two parties are equally d.
vided, yet the Republicans Sc
cure fifteen representatives out
Of twenty, has passed the
House. We care not who is
nurt; the man that can defend
such a thing is a political
unfit to be trusted with
5he interests of a great politi-
cal party.
Such a policy is disgraceful,
lemoralizing and destructive.
No sensible Republican can
approve such a political rob-
berry of the opposite party, and
no honest man can support it.
To their credit be it record.
I'd, that Messrs. Powell and
Williams, Republicans, refused
TO acquiesce in this iniquity.
The fellows who voted for it
must possess such a degree of
intense moral obliquity, that in
a crowd in the dark, no mans
property would be safe, for it
would be less crime to steal a
watch or a few paltry dollars,
han to hand down to other
rascals hereafter the political
precedent of it's being fair to
steal the right of representation
from at least half a million Of
