ADDRESS

OF THE DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF THE OHIO LEGISLATURE. Columucs, Ohio, March G, 18GG. To tho ptph of Ohio : Wc, the undoi signed members of the Gc ruwYPseuiüiy o wie oiaie 01 unio, being 1 4 I L. . f il. - O i . f S1 ' 1 in the minority in that body, and having no ateiuatc means lor an expression unon the present condition (t public auairSi ot ) present condition (1 public atlairs. olficially, deem it not iuij roper tosubmit the following, through a. less obstructed chan nel, the public press. Public events of great importance have recently transpircil. Happily for the people and the perpetuity of the Union, the war had been brought to a termination. The groat mass of the southern people soon restored order, aud commenced reviv ing their civil organization. They voted and elected legislatures which repealed the ordinances of secession. They repealed the clauses of their State Constitutions in gard to elavery, and adopted an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, forever prohibiting their system of m:iuiuuc. j. juwm ui uvery oiaic in the south, except Texas, and she was taking like action, had organized State govern, mcnts. In official or corporate capacity, these States stood in the same relation to the Federal CJovcrnment as the States of the North. The rebellion ceased to exist. The Constitution became and was operative in the whole Union. Nor were the authorities of the Federal Government inactive. The armies were graduall' withdrawn. Excepting the arrest ot a few persons, the peopl of the south were left undisturbed, and were encouiged in the work demanded by the Constitution. The action of their State Legislatures was recognized by the Federal authorities as legalby essential and binding. Their States were reorganized as States in the Union, and their people as citizeus. Taxes were laid and collected of them, aud the burdens imposed by the Constitution were acknowledged and borne. Tho whole people of the south were struggling to bury their sufferings and calamities, and had heartily yielded themselves up to a full allegiaucc to the Government of the United States. Under these circumstauees, aud as a still further evidence of a total repudiation of every other Government, they elected persons to represent them in Congress. This wa the crowning duty imposed by the Constitution. This alone remained to be done to bring each southern State fully into its old Constitutional obligations. Candor and patriotism renn ire that tho causes of publie events should - - . . be hnallv nrobed. Thr muc nfthf

lysetthe creatiyct though the war has ceased, and are

ant, was met hy a spirit hostile to it. The latter was broken in the name ofthe Union. ut thc former remains; bloated and frros cious with the blood of its rival. Thc President ofthe United States lately said : t;On this matter thc extremists of both sections, while pursuing different means, labored steadily to tho accomplishment of thc same end the destruction of the Union. So far as thc dissolution of thc Union is concerned, one is as bad as the other. When thc rebellion is put down aud we find a party for consolidation and concentration, it is thc same spirit as re bellica and leads to thc same end destrucs tion of thc Government." The assailing spirit of abolitionism yet survives, nourished into immense proportions and intensity by thc iiifluencvs of the war, aggravated in its strength by caus.es foreign to its nature. and crazed by its power, without reasoning as to its own elementary lormatiou, it vainly imagines itself superior to thc Constitution. Having, as it claimed, fought the Union, it ii now engaged in a systematic scheme to prevent a union. Can those who deprecated thc disunion fanaticism of the Abolition party before the war, sustain it now with that fanaticism unabatod and enlarged in its destructive purposes? Sectional, political and financial ambition and cupidity were the motives and causes of our civil troubles, and thc successful faction has reaped wealth and power. Thc masses ofthe people nave never been known to profit by civil disorder, by violations of their fundamental law, or usurpation. Constitutional order, while fatal to sectional aggrandizenieut, is full of blessings to the people. So must be a speedy recovery from public disorder. To restore the south to thc Union cudangcrs the powers, and restores equality. To govern thc south as a conquered people and territory subserves tho purposes of ambition and cupidity, but ruins the people. The leaders in power are of the old abo'ition party, devoted toagitation, supremacy and monopoly. They arc the vultures of the late public calamity. They do not propose to surrender the advantage gained under cover ofthe war, though it be at thc expense ofthe overthrow of the Constitution. Their sole purpose aud interest se in to be to prey upon ihe southern State -. To do this they must likewise prey ui :.i.i thc whole north. The machinery neces sary to accomplish tho first, result in the other. A standing army ; thousand-: of salaried officers ; schemes of plunder and rapine ; thefts and oppressions ; thc postration of commerce ; the drying up of thc fountains of revenue; thc increese of extravagance ; the swelling of the public debt ; tho increase of taxation these am tho legitimate ref'llt).

On land and on sea the Government and the peoplo have been' shamefully defrauded and robbed by these men; and, when in the course of the war, to meet peculation and speculation and the legitimate expenses, tho Government needed Joa-n of! ujuiicy, iiicsu Luen uauticu logeiner UKe so m 11 t . . t .1 many fehvlocks, dictated the conditions of thc bouds of the'Oovornment. as to rate of interest and exemption from taxation, invested their ill-gotten gains in a pcrmanent form, and now shake four thousand millions of property, exempt from taxation in thc faces of -he laboring masses. They poiatwith satisfaction to their Chief Jus

monopoly, and their power in Congress as! a guarantee of safety. Thus established as a privileged ciass, incy arc wimout a wound or an inconvenience from thc war, and without n burden in time of peace. To provide indemnity to themselves for the past, and security to themselves for thc future, these leaders, in and out of Congress, are molding its ligislation. They have lost sight of the people and the substance of the Government. They have cortrolled the elections for five years, j and these five years have been years of ri,A c.n l ii... r..L ri'i rum They falter at the future. They believe thev can. with the heir e help of the votes of SOO 000 linnfrnoj mill tlm v In ?i n r. 1... votes of over 1.000,000 southern people, and plunder of the south for their sup-, porters, maintain an ascendency over the conservative masses of the north. The present Congress met in Deceoiber, 18G5, with the Union restored. During thc ses sion thc Southern States presented legally chosen representatives, who asked, but were refused admission. Congress, at the oitt, gagged it3clf by conferring its powers upon a committee instructed to attempt the disorganization of the southern States. The whole session has been consumed, so lar, in taking testimony at great expense to show that the Union can not be restored. To inaugurate unirersal negro suffrage, they commenced with the District of Columbia.. A bill passed the House conferring the right 'of suffrage on the negro in that District, against thc will offne people, but yet awaits in the Senate further levelopments I hey have also proposed an amendment to thc Constitution, to extend ihe elective franchise to all persons without distinction of color Akn nm.il.!. nmn.ln,in f regulate thc right of suffrage in all the States of thc Lnion. Also another amendment to enforce protection to life, liberty and property in all thc States. Al so, another amendment to make voters the for the sacred work ofthe great statesmen of the past, and to be reported upon soon by thc committee. All these measures are fur the negro. From all these propositions can be gathered only negro suffrage; negro superiority over the white people ofthe iouth ; negro office-holding; negro equality; exclusion of white people from Government all of which assume, if made a part ofthe Constitution, a condition of perpetuity, accompanied with unlimited power, con centrated and consolidated, so that thc States will have left but the forbearance of Congress as thc only safeguard of liberty. Our Constitution will become, simply a grant of legislative power to Congress. The power usurped and exercised to exclude representatives, to disfranchise States stud people, to prescribe test oaths and other tests in subversion of equal government, is a fitting prelude to that despotism which frowns from tho brow of a revolutionary Congress It is strange that a constution suited to twenty-five millions of white people, producing prosperity when obeyed, and misfortune only when violated, should now be deemed insufficient for three millions of ue. groes. While all these proposed Constitutional amendments have been kept ri abeyance, and Congress has been speculating with ihe temporary suspeusiou of the relations of the south to the Union, until the public mind should become familiar with, and tolerate the permanency of the suspension, an important measure was being matured as an entering wedge for all these revolutionary schemes.

TIic Standing; Armj. The country is threatened with a standing army of sixty regiments. Assuming that members of Congress who are in favor of keeping a force of this dimension are sincere in their opiuiou that it is necessary. we gain another point of view from which to sec thc changes which four years of war have produced, lieforc thc war, tho btaudinir armv consisted of about ten thousand taeü, at a cost of about thc same number of lull!iou.3 dollars. Admitting th ex pense iu tho future to be no higher than in the past, and the annual cost of an army of sixty thousand men will be sixty millions of dollars, about four-fifths of the average annual expenses of the Government before thc war. This, of it-elf, is a very tolerable exemplification of thc pleasures of war-making; and when it is considered that there is to be, if not a orrcsponding, at least, a very considerable increase in thc cost of every other branch of the public service, together wite several new and costly branches, we can gain a pretty distinct approximative idea of the financial future which it will be our lot to eucounter. Cin. Enq. The New York Tribun" (radical) says that three members of tho Cabinet prefer to irive the President thc opportunity of removing them, should he think proper, rather than accepting their resignations. 1 1 says : U is not probable that he will accept the alternative in the eae of one of these gentlemen, in the course of a few days. Such is tho expectation at 'ashingtoll among persons well informed." It is the opinion ofthe country that thc President cannot bo too prompt irraccpting thc alternative. In this connection we publish Forney's, or the "Dead duck's" Washington Chronicle. It Fays : "To he LfnrRATEn.-Thecuicialguillotiue has been erected, and all clerks ofthe different departments, who have disagreed with thc Executive on the 'veto message,' are to bo beheaded, and their heads to be trfinsfi-rrfid to the official basket. Notifi cation has been given that no radicalism, or opposition to the President, will be tolerated." Tho Prasidcut was evidently making game of Forney when he called him a "dead dirk"

In conversation with his wife, he said he did not fed right about the cheating he had practiced in the milk busiicss, and wished a tray could l9 de vised whereby he could repay iu the grut mill what ho had cheated ia the other. At last they settled on tho following plan, which was, to have measures with which they took toll, as much too large as the milk measures were too small !
