The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1875-06-24

A merica never before beheld, are
among the treasures which the Repub-
lican party bequcathed 10 history
The reign of the Spaniard in Central
and South America has been parallel
ed by the thefts of the carTset-ba.gers
in the Southern States. IN fact, the
transactions of the latter exceed those
Of the former, aud when in future
years the student shall compare the
transactions of the one with the other,
he will discover that while the Span
lard exceIcd in courage, the carpet
Dagger traascended him FAR i'll the ex-
tent and audaci!y OF his thefts.
No more ausplcious day could have
been selected than The Centennial an
niversary of that battle OF Bunker
Hill, which, enc hundred years ago,
served to unite all the a Amcrican COLO
mics ill one compact opposition 10 the
encroachuenis of the mother country.
The conquests of 73 and II are our
Lexington and our Concord. To-day
the gladsome thunder of the hundred
years Which commentaries the noble
deeds of ancestral patriots, will speak
not less enphatica!ly onr regard for
their ..lorious memory Than will the
yeice OF Ohio's sons in Convention
assembled pronounce against thcso
grosscr arbitrary eXcesscs OF power
aud vile breaches OF trust committed
il our own land and in our own day,
of all Administrator wholly recrean
TO the principles of 17T6:
We are to-day called upon 10 select
standard bearer whose record shall
be fitting tribute 10 the memory OF
those grand principles which animated
the Democratic party in the day OF its
victorious Interchangeable era of uni
versal good will and sectional harmo-
nv soon to be re established and it is
meet that the man should be one
whose pubic acts are directly opposed
to that policy of hate, which Tor. SO
many years has been the dominant in
f.usncc of Republican counseis. The
base pslicy which would make Po-
land or All ireland of the South-a
conquered, subjugated, asd enslaved
province in the heart OF the Common
wealth-was rebuked by Ohio tive
wears age, when she selected for the
Chief Magistracy that wise and pru-
dent statesman, and patriotic citizen
William Allen. What more fitting re-
buke 10 the lawless aud unconstita-
tional acts OF the administration III
reference 10 the Southern States than
brcathes from his message to tho Leg
isiature upon the Louisiana usarpa-
tiou? Thrice blessed is Ohio that she
has sucl son! thrice happy should
we be, gentlemen of the Convention
that the Democracy of Ohio is pos.
sessed eff such worthy and distin-
gui she'd representative!
With raneWe1 aynrpssinn nf thank 9

fident hope that your deliberations
may be guided by wisdom and harmo-
iny, and that in. the coming October
election your labors here aud i'll the
canvass may be rewarded with thai
degree of success which shall agair
turn the eyes Of the nation ts Ohio
and make the tax-ridden and Cypress
ed citizens of every section once NOR,
rejoice that the voice of Ohio pre-
nounces in favor OF honesty, cfflcienc,
and Democracy.
| Without further OBTAINING the Con
ventien, or attempting to discuss tn,
questions that may be put to issue by
you, am ready to proceed with tn,
