ANXIOUS.
It is astonishing the anxiety the
Democracy feel in regard to the Union
Republican Presidential ticket. They
feel terribly for Republicans in the
East because the two men are nomi
nally Western men. They forget
that Grant is a national man that
every part of the country has a claim
on him that each part of it owes
him a debt of gratitude. They also
forget that Republicans everywhere
are perfectly satisfied with the ticket
that Grant and Colfax are the most
popular men of the Union, and the
ones who will preside over the desli
Dies of the country in due time.
A handful of White Boys in Blue,
recently passed the - following reso
lution at a meeting in Columbus.
"Jtetolved, That the present organ
izataon known as the White Boys in
Blue be extended over the State for
the time being."
They will have to spread them
selves to do that, more than the hen
did that tried to cover fteen dozen
eggs. Let them make one grand
spread.
WHITE BOYS IN BLUE.
A Committee recently met in Co
lumbus to appoint delegates from this
States to attend the "Conservative
Soldiers and Sailors Convection" in
THew York City, July 4th.
Col-. O. H. Payn, of Cleveland;
Gen. Morgon, of Mount Vernon ; Col
L. D. Campbell, of Hamilton and Col.
W. . Haynes, of Sandusky, were
appointed Delegates at Large.
For delegates from the 5th District,
Col. Andrews and Col. J. M. Neib
ting, were appointed. We sincerely
bope that CoL Neibling will not act
as he did when he was sent as a del
egate to a similar convention in Cleve
land, in '65. He went there nd
looked in upon the Convention once,
and seeing a beggarly srray of empty
eats, took the next train for New
York City, on business. This tjme
he must face the thing through if his
companions are few and shame faced.
The Convention must be mada to look
big somehow, and the end will jus ti
fy the means.

VISIBLE ADMIXTURE BILL

The following decision of the Su

tare Bill, and causes several
weeks hard labor of the Democratic
Legislatvrc to go for naught The
case was one of Geo. W. Collins vs.
Jas. B. Monroe, et aL in the Green
county District Court, Collins suing
because his vote was refused. It
was decided against defendants who
immediately carried it up to the Su
preme Court :
By the Court Welch J held :
1, Male citizens having a visible
admixture of African Blood, but in
whom the white blood predominates,
are white male citizens within the
meaning of the constitution of Ohio,
and have the same right to vote as
citizens of pure white blood.
2. The legislature have no power,
directly or indirectly, to deny or
abridge the constitutional risnt 01
the citizen to vote, nor, unnecessarily
to impede its exercise; and laws
passed professedly to regulate us
exercise or prevent its abuse, must
be reasonable, uniform and impartial.

entitled 'an act to preserve the puri

SECRETARY OF WAR.
Gen. Schofield has been confirmed
Secretary of War, and has tahen
possession of the office.
The first proposition towards con
firniation, was
Rtsoloed, That the Senate advise
and 'consent to the appointment of
John U. Schofield, as Secretary ot
War, in place of Edwin M. Stanton,
who has been forced -to retire from
the discharge of the duties of said
office by reason of the illegal and un
constitutional acts of the President
It was lost. . This was followed by
a proposition of Mr. Edwards, as fol
lows : .
Whereas, The order of the Presi
dent removing Secretary Stanton
from office wan unconstitutional and
illegal, but mi hiuttunt of Mr. Stanton
having on Tuvwilay relinquished said
office therefore, : .
Httolued, That the Senate advise
and consent to the appointment of
General Schofield.
The vote was first had upon the
resolution, which passed. The pre
amble passed afterwards.
This ends the Secretary of War
matter.
JAMES BUCHANAN.
James Buchanan died on the 1st
day of June. He was born at Stony
Baiter, Franklin county, Pa., April
23d, 1791 He was a lawyer by pro
fession. He served at one time in
the Legislature of his State, and Was
afterward a member of the House of
Representatives. Then he was Min
ister to St Petersburg, after which
he was elected U. S. Senator. Again
he was Minister to Great Britian.
In 1857, he waa elected President of
the United States and administered
the government in such a manner as
to leaye the country at the mercy of
the rebels.
He had last words. They were,
44 God bless my country." He evi
dently wanted God to do something
he had never done himself, notwith
standing a long life of public service.
RADICAL IDEA OF "EQUAL
SUFFRAGE."
The following contradictory posi
tions are assumed in the Chicago
Convention Platform :
The guarantee by Congress of
equal suffrage to ail loyal men at the
South."
"The question of suffrage in aU &e
loyal States properly belongs to the'
people of those States."
In what part of ttie Constitution do
they find authority for Congress to
establish one role of suffrage for th
South, and another for the North ?

To (Jt. Jo J!. Jlatch-U, PretuItHt of

vention: In formally accepting the nomina
tton of the National Union Republi -
can uonvenuon oi tuc ziufc u may, i
seems proper
that some statement
of my views beyond the mere accep
tance of the nomination should be
expressed.
The proceedings of the Convention
were marked with wisdom, mod
eration and patriotism, and I be
lieve express the feelings of the
great mass of those who sustained
the country through its trials. I in
dorse their resolutions, and if elect
ed to the office of the President of
tbe United States, it will be my en
deavor to administer all the laws in
good faith, with economy, and with
the view of giving peace, quiet and
protection everywhere.
In times like the present it is im
possible, or at least eminently im
proper, to lay down a policy to be
adhered to, right or wrong, through
au administration of four years. New
political issues not foreseen are con
stantly arising.' The views of the
public on old ones are constantly
changing und a purely sdminislra;
tive officer should be left free to exe
cute the will of tbe people. I have
always respected thatjwill and always
shall.
Peace and universal prosperity, its
sequence, with econemy of adminis
tration, will lighten the burden of
taxation, while it constantly reduces
the national debt. Let us have peace.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 30, '68.
To Eon. J. 72. Ilawley, Pretident of
the Rational Unum JieptiOiican ton
vention.
Deab Sis : The platform adopt
ed by he patriotic Convention over
which you presided, and tbe resolu
tions which so happily supplement it.
so entirely agree with my views
to a just national policy, that my
thanks are due to the delegates as
much for this clear and auspicious
declaration of principles, as for the
nomination with which I have been
honored, and which I gratefully ac
cept.
When a great rebellion which im
perilled the national existence was at
last overthrown, the dul', of all otb
ers, devolving ou those intrusted with
the responsibilities of legislation ev
idently was to require that the
revolted States should be readmitted
into participation in the Government
against which they erred only on
such a basis as to increase and for
tifyjjiot to weaken or endanger the
strengtu ana power oi tne nation.
Certainly no one ought to have claim
ed that they should be re-admitted
under such a rule that their oganiza-
tion as States could ever again be
used at the opening of s war to defy
the national authority or to destroy
national unity. This principle has
been the pole star of those who have
inflexibly insisted on the Congress
ional policy your convention so cor
dially indorsed. Ballled by .Execu
tive oppositions and by persistent
refusals to accept any plan of recon
struction proposed by Congress, jus
tice and public safety, at last com
bined to teach us that only by enlarge
ment of sullrage in those States could
the desired end be attained, and that
it was even more safe to give the
ballot to those who loved the Union
than to those who had sought inef
fectually to destroy it. The assured
buccess of this legislation is being
written on the adamant of history,
and will be our triumphant vindica
tion.
More clearly, too, than ever be
tore does the nation now recognize
that the greatest glory of a republic
is that it throws the shield of its
protection over .the humblest and
weakest of its people, and vindicates
the rights of the poor and the pow
erless as faithfully as those of the
miflity and the powerful.
T rothir-o trf In Miia fnnnpt.inn. t.n
find in your platform the frank and
tearless avowal that naturalued citi
zens must be protected abroad at eve
ry hazard as though they were native
born. Our whole people are for
eigners or descendants of foreigners.
Our fathers established by arms their
right to be caiid a nation. It re
mains for us to re adirm the right,
and welcome to our shores all
who desire, by oaths of allegi
ance, to become American citizens.
Perpetual allegiance as claimed
abroad is only another name for
perpetuci bondage, and would make
all slaves to the S3j! where first
they saw the light. Our national teu
etries prove how faithfully these
ceths of fidelity to the adopted land
have beta sealed in tbe lite blood of
thousands upon jthon$andd. Should
we not then' lie faithless to tLa dead
if we did pot protect their living
brethren in fuii enjoyment of that
nationality .for which, Bide by side
with the native born, our soldiers of
foreign birth laid down their lives ?
It was fitting, too, that the repre

(do rt need to extend this reply
by further icortt, on a platform
which has elicited sucH' hearty ap
proval throughout the land; the
debt of gratitude it acknowledges
to the brave men who saved the
Union from destruction ; the frank
appioval of amnesty, based on re
pentance and loyalty; the dand for
the most rigid economy and bouesty
in the government ; the sympathy of I

worthy of the organization on whose
banners they are to be written in the
coming contest Its past record can
not be blotted out or lorotten. If
there had been no Republican party,
slavery would to-day cast its baleful
shadow over the Republic. If there
had leen no Republican part)-, free

unknown, from tbe Potomac to tbe

and when the response "no coercion

the Republican party daring to risk
the odium of tax and draft laws,
our flag could not have been kept
flying in the field until the lsng hoped
for victory came. Without a licpub
lican party the Civil Rights bill, the
guarantee of equality under the law
to the humble and the defenseless,
as well as to the strong, would not
be to-day upon our national statute

He Executes the Duties of his Advisory
Position—Healthy Advice
to "Conservative Soldiers."
CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO,
May 26th 1868.
Lditor Ohio State Jottrnal i '
Dear Sir : A friend at Colum
bus has sent me a slip from a late
number of your paper, by which I
see that a late State Convention at
Columbus has appointed me as a del
egate from tbe 17th Congressional
District to the "National Conserya
tire Soldiers' and Sailors' Conven
tion," to be held in the city of New
York: on the 4th day of July. It is
just to myself, that in as public a
manner as my name has been an
nounced as such a delegate, I should
ay that I do not propose to be a
member pf that Convention. I am
ot, and never bare been in sympa
thy witu ob,Ject ,eelH w
compliab. I have ot yet forgotten
the cause for which "our bravest
fell," and am not so objectionably
generous that I am ready to give nP
the fruits of the yictcry o hardly
won.
f ptnnnt but ask mvielf. Of what
mean thing have I been guilty, that
I should be the recipient or the praise
implied by such appointment at the
hands of men who have deserted the
flaw under which they once fought t
The cool Impudence of the insult was
not fully appreciated oy me untu, ou
reading the proceedings, l iounu j
was appointed an gdvisoty member.
Let me for a moment overcome my
distaste to touch pitch and be defiled,
by accepting tbat advitory position
I adoite tbat if there be such I
scarcity of material among the late
Federal soldiery of Ohio that the con
vention is forced to go into the Rad
ical ranks to select representatives,
that it go into one of "our erring sla
ter. States," and make choice of some
who wore the erey, to respond on
the 4th dav Ql July, at New lora
when the roll of Ohio's delegates is

the innocent at Fort Pillow, and
whose name was fcUeeed by Consor

vtntion assembled at Cleveland.
would be a proper man to represent
Conservatism.
I advii that, "for the cultivation
of fraternal feeling" and complete
forgetfulncss of the "Wit little on-
pleasantnis." there be a union ol
those three conservative societies
the White Boys in Blue, the knights
of the Golden Circle, and the Ku Klux
Klan,

tism form its ranks this fajl to make
the fight against Grant and Colfax
. . t .ill - . .1 f)
Under tue color, "me siara u una,
and under the old leaders, the rebel
General Lee and Jeff. Davis.
Lastjy, let me advue tbat 1 pro
pose to continue to fight on the old
line, and rote and work for Grant,
kkIfax and victory.
The Democratic papers through
out the State, in compliance with a
resolution, nave given puoucuy to
the fact that I have been adopted by
those who ''cry for bread, as an
"advisory" member. Do I ask
too much to request that Ihey
give as much publicity to the fact
that I repudiate association with
those who, once wearing the patriot
ic blue, have doffed it for the rebel
gray ?
In the full hope and conviction
that true soldiers everywhere will
continue to stand by their colors and
and the right of Radicalism, I am,1
truly yours,
CHARLES F. MANDERSON.

BENTON ITEMS.
. We feel under obligations to friend
Mungen for the interest and labor he
expended in establishing a tri-weekly
mail route from Fiadlay to Lima,
via. Benton Ridge. v Th necessity of
the same has long been felt by the
citizens of this place and vicinity.
For nearly five years we have paid 1
by individual subscription for the
carrying of an extra mail from this
point to Findlay, and we feel as
though the burden should, in justice,
be shouldered . by the Government.
I understand that the route has
been surveyed and tbat we will re
ceive our mail on the new route
by the first of July.
BENTON WOOLEN MILLS
Will be ready for operation by the
10th of June, when they will be pre
pared to do custom work in all its
variety. In looking over their ma
chinery the other day, I noticed sev

nary machinery. The business will
be conducted by Mr. Eli Wheeler, of
Holmes county, O., who is an expe
rienced workman, having worked at
the business for about thirty years.
There U no better way to develop

CONTRABAND.
Last 'Wednesday a colored man
passed through this place, , for the
Iron Works, in Guyandotte, near
Detroit He started from Charles
ton, South Carolina, and ate his first
meal of victuals, at a table, in Gle
uer's "Loyal Blancbard," since be
was traveling in Ohio. While pass
ing through a copperhead nest south
of this place, he stopped at one of
their bouses for a drink of water,
and asked a young Miss for a cup,
but instead of getting the enp she
ran in the boufe, and in a boistorous
tone said, "Oh, mam, come out and
see a damned black nigger." She
had probably heard or read of "nig
gers" in the Courier. She is a fit
subject to carry that well worn ban
nerthat reads. Fathers "Protect ns
frdai Negro Husbands."
AN APOLOGY.
Local items are scarce and I am
somewhat unwell, and if you ever
get tbe Spring Fever you know what
is the natter. It is rather prevalent
just now, and as I am naturally in
clined to take anything I can get, I
hare taken it. The symptoms are a
strong inciinatjon t,o do nothing, and
abaenco of all interest in anything
requiring attention. I used to have
it when I was a boy, when aa un
sympathetic parent used to say it
was laziness, and proposed to thrash
ii out I never liked violent reac
tionary remedies and was too consid.
erat to put Uiux to the trouble of
trying this remedy.

To tfcB most nolle, high toned and
chioalroui "ed" ya apnd greeting.
A few more such questionable dtjtnd-
ers (?) and we should tremble for the
welfare of tbe Ladies Literary, Or.
ganistiQn. Those persons invited
to the recent entertainment given
by the ladies, at the residency of JVV
II. Wheeler, were all gtiUlemen, which
at once proves that "Zed" could not
by any possibility have been pres
ent, bcce the bitterness of bis attack
in the more fortunate '.'N." The
exceptions which "Zed" takes to tbe
grammatical construction of a sen
tence in "M r communication, we
dare affirm, can be shown to have
been a typographical error. As to
the lack o sense wbih he professes
to discover jx some of the remarks
a certain amount of sense fa always
requisite to the comprehension of
even simple statements. Hard in
deed would be the task of those who
write, if they were obliged to furnish
brain to those who may read their
productions. Again, having no mu
sic in bis soul, "Zed" scorns tbe idea
of its having an enlivening effect
he is fit for." tight boots and straight
jackets" only. ' But "Zed's" honesty
is the most surprising feature of bis
effiusion. Here are his 'words to
prove our assertion: "Now it is
generally understood that the Ladies'
Literary Organisation ol Fjndlay, re
quires literary culture, as condition
of membership. That condition of
membership, of course, excludes
from their organization,' all auch ig
noramuses as this correspondent"
Now if this" tfohfessipn -ftss not rm
proved the 'condition Of 'Zed's'
soul, we are afraid there is no further
hope for it When we began reading
"Zed's" article, we were strongly
impressed r'jUi the oninoa which
be sets forth PPPPernipg himself, but
