among the most benighted pagans.
The latest stroke for Liberty" we
believe, was the proposition of the or
ganization to the Exposition Commits
sioners to buy four thousand tickets,
if the Commissioners would run the
Exposition on Sunday. The good
people of Cincinnati should show these
fellows that they are in earnest in
their efforts to better the moral atmos-
phere of the wicked city, and will
make short work of any further
attempt to maintain heathen customs
in the State of Ohio. If there is no
higher idea of Liberty than the desc
Grafton of the Sabbath, then we don't
need Liberty.
Again have the Democrats been
badly outwitted and out-generaled by
the Republicans. In another article
mention is made of the running away
of the twenty Democratic Senators OF
Ohio. These left one Of their number
in Columbus to watch the course of
events. By shrewd management the
Republicans succeeded in getting rid
Of him. The great body Of the Dem
ocrats went South-in time of distress
the Ohio Democrat naturally turns
toward the South-while eiae got so
badly scared after he got started, that
he ran clean over into Canada. Those
who went South were enjoying them
selves, and chucklipg over having de-
feated Legislation Of all kinds, and
placed the States paper on the verge
of protest, and wondering what the
poor Republicans would do. Up in
Columbus on last Saturday there was
a quiet scene which settled the ques-
ton. Lieutenant-Governor Kennedy
walked into the Senate Chamber, and
taking up the gavel called the body to
order. Prayer was offered, and the
Clerk ordered to read the proceedings
Of the previous session. Then the
resolution to unseat the four fraud
Senators from Hamilton County was
taken up and passed-there being no
Democrats in the house-and the four
Republicans came forward and were
sworn in. The rich part Of the whole
thing is that in parliamentary bodies
there is considered to be a quorum
unless call of the house shows diff
ferent state Of affairs. No Republi-
can demanded call, and the action
stands. 1t was perhaps easier for the
Republican side to seat their men
without the Democrats being present,
than with them in their places. The
deserters will now probably bring
home supply of Tennessee or Ken
lucky mules, with which to have
themselves kicked on all similar occa-
sions in the future They ran away
to prevent the ousting of their four
frauds. They will come back to find
the Senate work moving on, with the
four Republicans from Hamilton
County in the full discharge Of their
duties.
The Ironton Register has been
shown reprint of a copy of the
Richmond Enquirer, of September
10Th, 1862, and in speaking of the
contents, the Register says:

Aside from the fact of advertising
''ikely negroes" for sale, there was
not a great difference between the
Richmond paper and its Democratic
fellows in the North. The Columbus
Crisis, the Cincinnati Enquirer, and,
in fact, the Democratic press of the
North, were as near like the Richmond
papers as could be. It is not neces-
sary to go to the Richmond papers to
find reasonable utterances, and con-
temptuous expressions regarding col
ored men. The Columbus Crisis. had
this opinion of the brave colored men
who showed a pluck and willingness
in the dark days of the war to fight
for the freedom which was theirs by
right:

The same paper was literally gush-
ing over, from one issue to another,
with praise of Vallandigham, and was
just as eager as the Richmond paper
to see negroes bought and sold. As
to the Democratic hatred of the col
ored soldier, many an old soldier can
join us in testifying that there was
abundant cause for it. Those who
have witnessed the pressing line of
steel in the hands of brave black men,
and reflected that the flying troops in
gray before that line were all Demo-
Gratis, need not be told that the Dem
ocratic hatred Of the colored soldier
was based upon good and sufficient
ground. There was marked similar
ity Of the tone of the Democratic
press North and South, during the
war. They seemed to be moved by
the same inspiration, and to be of SIM
liar thought and aim. When the head
Of the animal brayed in the South,
the tail wiggled at the North.
