ago, when the last Democratic Treasurer |
of the State of Ohio stole considerably |
over half million dollars of the public |
money and ran off to Canada to escape |
the penItentiary.
Oh for the good old halcyon days of
the Democracy, when the laborer was
the goods and chattels of the rich man !
The laborer who was nominally free only
received his half dollar per day, in bills
on broken banks. He felt himself happy
if he could get lnsey coat or wamus,
manufactured by his own family, pair
of moccasins made of the skin of a hog,
and cap made of the skin of a raccoon.
The average Democrat then could mount
his blind horse, on a pack-saddle, or
sheep skin, tow string for bride, and
hickory bark for stirTups, and he could
thus ride to the election and vote the
"Dimmycrat ticket.
Oh. give US back our halcyon days!
The Democratic Supreme Court of the
State of Indiana has decided very inn
portant case, setting aside the amend
ments to the Constitution of the United
States, and substantially affirming the
old bred Scott decision of the good old
Democratic times, that negroes have no
rights which white men are bound to
respect
