The Democracy and the Negroes.

The Republican Convention for the county ot Muskingum, a few days ago, passed the following resolution: “Resolved , That the very large and increasing ingress of free negroes into Ohio since the repeal in 1858-59 by the Democratic members of the Ohio Legislature of the legal disabilities then existing, render# it a serious question whether some efficient legislation should not be adopted to protect our State from becoming the Lazar-house of the worn oat and worthless population of the Slave States.’’ This is “cutting under” the Democracy, who claim to have a prescriptive right to monopolize ail the demagoguery about the “gentlemen from Africa.’’ The adoption of the above resolution sets the Ohio Statesman crazy, and it severely denounces the Muskingum Republicans for stealing the Democratic plunder.
