pretenses. It is said that his friends
are making great exertl ms to get col
ored men to vote for him. Let all
genuine Republicans, and especially
all .colored men, read the following,
from the Washington correspondence
of the Cincinnati Gazette:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.
Hon. w. A. Hutchins who is running against Rep
reseptative Neal in the Portsmouth District, has
very interesting Congressional record for Union Sol
and their friends to read. His services in the
Thirty-eighth Congress consisted chiefly in voting
and in the main in voting the wrong side of the
war issues. total record the floor for the two
consisted in introducing the resolution look
ing to the establishing of yard in his d1strlct
explaining that the Journal incorrectly recorded him
voting for the conscription, where he voted in
decided tone, against it, and lastly, in explaining
why he absent call of the House. But his
votes more eloquent than speeches. Here are a
few of them
June 6. 1854 he voted against bill providing more
effective punishment for guerrillas.
February 15 1864, he was present but lodged vote
on resolution declaring that the Constitution should
be amened to abolish slavery. The same day he
declared he had voted against the conscription act

'sReSoiued, That the maintenance inyiolate of the
rights the States at and especially the rights of each
State order and control its own domestic nstitu-
tion according its judgment exclusively is es
sentia that balance of power which the perfec
tion and endurance of our political fabric depends
There is one slight error in the above.
1t was on the 18th, and not the Sd of
June, 1864, that he voted against the
repeal of the fugitive slave law. 1t
may be found on page 1920, Of the
Congressional Globe, part Sd, 1st ses-
sion, 3sth Congress, 1854. We
have the volume in our office, and any
one can see it.
Sam. Cox was at that time Demo-
cratic member Of Congress from Ohio,
and he made speech in favor Of the
Infamous and damnable fugitive slave
law, and Mr.. Farnsworth Of Illinois
made brief reply. We copy from
the Globe:
Mr. FARNsWoRTH Mr.. Speaker, I have no in
tention detaining the House long; but it seems to
me that bill of this kind and especially after the
speech made it by the gentleman from Ohio, ought
not to be pressed without giving some little
time for reply.
in favor of the repeal of the fugitive slave law
for divers In the first place. the Constitu-
does not require such law. would give to slave
holders what they have got by the letter of the Con-
stitution, and more, until can amend the Con-
stitution. in favor of its repeal again, for the
that am in favor of striking all the blows
can at the institution slavery and just fast
In the third place am in favor of the repeal OF
fugitive slave law because it is disgrace stand
ing blasting disgrace upon the staue-books OF the
nation.
Ohio, (NIr. Cox,) he would armed with the fugitive
law, go the field and strip from these valiant
sable defenders of the Republic their uniforms take
from them muskets, and in place of their knap
sacks on their backs lay on-stripes and chains and
manacles, and send them back again to slavery. He
would not stop there, but would even follow the
wounded soldier to the hospital tear him from
the hands of his and with chains and stripes
take him back to his master and slavery. would
like to put the question to that gentleman to any
other who sympathize with him on that question,
whether he is willing to follow out to its logical Sc
guence the argument which he makes; whether he de-
now soldiers of the Republic, occupying the most
honorable position that any man can occupy in the
natoIdefenders their country whether he is will
ling to go to field and strip the uniforms off these
men, and return them to a dark and dismal slavery.
The gentleman from Ohio expressed his sympathy
for Arguelles, the slave pirate
Mr.. COX. I expressed sympathy at all for Ar
guelles.
Mr.. FARNSWORTH Why, Mr.. Speaker, under
this fugitive law the fugitive has no trial until
is taken back to the place from whence he escaped
flor the examination before the commissioner is not
trial. Won put the iron hand of the law upon him and
take him back his master: and there is the only
place where he can have anything like trial.
Mr.. COX. VIII the gentleman from Illinois yield
to me?
Mr.. FARNSWORTH. 1 cannot be expected to yield
any of my time, which is but six minutes.
Mr.. COX. The gentleman misinterprets me.
Mr.. FARNSWORTH. In the case of a mdn-stedter
the gentleman objects any such summary proceed
ing. He objects sending the pirate to the place of
his crimes for trial. If he had been charged with
some petty crime. if he had been some ordinary
scuss" had been sent back to there would
not have been word of complaint from the gentle
man. But he Is maa-steaier towering rascal. He
has committed the greatest crime that man
