Its enemies are in high places of power; they sit in the seats of the capitol; they hove their grasp upon its throat; Gmy throttle it to the agonies of disolidittlon. The President conrronts them nail the question presented to-day to the Domooratio pdcly end the people of Ohio is simply this Whether they will support 14e President in his efforts to maintain, or the Canteen Ain Its etforls to overthrow, the Government. The Constitution grants ceValn. powers to the Federal Government—lt reserves all other powers to the States, and guarantee. certain right. to the people The same powers were greeted alike by ill the States The same powers were reserved alike to all the States le same rights were guars,- teed to the people of the States The Mates are equal.

They collect debts, enforce contracts, regulate descents, establish Mt -101, control edqoatton ; and who has said they were not suffiplent for those things ? Sir. Seward, it. the speech from which Ave quoted, says the return of the South ern people to their Fe meal allegiance is without a parallel in history.
