Tbe Husband Minding the Uouso. TlfE Once on a time there was a man' so surly and cross, he never thought his wife did anything right in the house So one evening, in hay-making time, he came home scolding and swearing auc showing his teeth, and making a dust. "Dear love, don't there's a good man," said his goody; "to-morrow, let's change our work. I'll go out with the mowers and mow, and you shall mind the house at home." Yesl the husband thought that would do very well. He was quite early next morning, his goody took a scythe over her nock, and went out into the hay field with the began to mow; but the man was to" mind the house, and do the work at home.

First of all he wauted to chirr the butter; but when he had churned a while, he got thirsty, and went clown to the cellar to tap a barrel So just when he had knocked in the bung and was putting the tap into the cask, he heard over head the pig come into the kitchen. Then off he run up the celLr steps with the tap in his fast as ho could to look after 1 tho pig, lest it should upset the when he got up and saw the pig bad already knocked the churn over, and stood there rooting and grunting amongst the cream, which was running all over the floor, he was so wild with' rage that he quite forgot the ale barrel, and ran. at the pig as' bard as he could. He caught it just as it ran out of doors, and gave it such a kick that piggy lay for dead on the spot. Then all at once ho remembered he had the tap in his hand, but when he got down to the cellar every drop of ale had run out of the barrel.

Then he went to the dairy and found enough cream to fill the churn again, a so he began to churn, for butter they must have at dinner. When he had churned a remembered that their milking cow was still shut up in the byre ant hadn't a bite to eat en- a drop to drink all the morning, though the sun was high. Then all at once, ho thought it was too frir tatake her clbwn to thomea- dow, so he'd just get her on the house top--for tire house you must know was thatched with" sods, and'a'fine crop ol jrass growing there. Now their lious'e lay close up against a steep down and he thbught if he laid a plank cross to thfe'thatch at the he'd easily get the cow up. But still ho couldn't leave the churn, lor there was bis little babe crawling' aljut on the floor, and "if I leave it," he thought, 'the child is sure to upset it," he took the churn on liis back and went out with it, but then he thought he'd better water the dow" before hb took" her out on the thatch, so he took up a bucket to draw water out of the well, but as he stooped down at the well's brink, all the cream' ran Iris shoulders and so clown into' the well.

Now was near Dinner time, and he hadn't even got the butter yet, so he thought he'd better boil the porridge, and he filled the pot with water and (hung it over the fire. When he had done that the cow might per her THE DEMOCRAT. Can Blaclz toe "White? IS A NEGRO A WHITE MAN? THE OPINION OP A DEMOCRATIC JUDGE The Age, ot last week, says!"

Judge, laps fall off the thatch and break egs or neck.

So he got up on the louse to tie her up. One end of the rope he made fast to the cow's neck, and the other he slipped down the ihimney andtied'aroundhisown thigh, and ne had to make the water low began to boil in the pot, and' he ipd still 1 to grind the So he to grind but while he was lard at it, down fell the cow' off the louse top after all. and as she fell, she dragged the man up the chimney by There he stuck last, and'as or tlie cow, she hung half way down wall, swinging between heaven and larth, for she could neither get down nor up. And now the goody had waited seven lengths and seven breadths or her husband 1 to" come and call her lome to dinner, but never a call they lad. At.last.she thought she'd waited ong and went home.

But vlien she got here, she saw the cow langing in such an ugly place, she ran up and cut tEe rope in two with her jcythe.

I cannot con' cur in.tlie opinion, that any person o) ess than half black or negro blood, las the right of an elector, under the constitution of Ohio, i The words of the constitution are.

(Art. 4th, Sec. 1st;) "In all elections, all WHITE male inhabitants, above the -age of twenty-one years, shall' enjoy jthe right of an elector." Tims, color is a constitutional qualification of an elector in Ohio, atufthat instrument confers the enjoyment of the elective franchise upon WHITE persons only, antfj by the force of its terms, excludes all persons who are ntit white. To hold, therefore, that all less than half black, or less than 1 half negro blood iu their veins, have the fight of electors 'or voters, State of Ohio, is, in'itty Opinion, a direct and open violation, both of the letter, and spirit, of the The' Constitution, in' defining the color qualification of an elector, dbes not employ the phrase--partly white --more white than black all persons loss half simply word white, The.word white means pure white, unmixed. The word expresses a simple idea, quality or principle, homogeneous, not made up or compounded of two different elements or qualities.

A mixture ot black and white, is not white and black'may be mixed different proportions--there maybe more white than black, or more black than white; but a preponderance of the one or tho other wiH not make the mixture' pure white or a pure WlTeh'the words white and' black- are employed to designate different races of men, they are applied to men of the samo blood or When applied to individuals, to designate the stock or race tp which they belong, they rtfean i that' the individuals' thus clesignatedj are purely of the blood of tiie white rce or the black race, A man of mixed blood, partly white and partly black, cannot bo called a white man or a black man, because those words import that thff person, to whom applied, is of the pure blood of the white or black race. Nor does it matter about the preponderance of blood, if there be a mixture; he is of pure blood of nflitfier thfe ohe'ndr the other. It is not the shade of color, but the purity of the blood, which determines: or race-to'wnich the individual The word white has never been applied to persons ot any shade of black br negro blood, to contradistinguish them from the'full black. In speaking of such, the language is, "he is quarter a "light mulatto? 'nearly always- using some qualifying term. To say that a man is a white is to affirm that he has no black or negro blood'in himj-that lie is of the pure unmixed blood of the white 1 is the meaning which- hae universally and at all times, attached' to the white man.

It is an axiom in the construction" of laws' and 1 constitutions, that words are to be ta- in their ordinary and' common The word white, in the Constitution, to define ihe color qualification of an' elector, limits the- rigbt of voting 1 to'white persons only, and' excludes all hold that all persons, less than half alack, are voters under tbis clause of ths Constitution; is to hold that all persons less than-half black, are white. To establish" this tLff reasoning would 'stand thus: 1 ptel'sonff are voters 1 imdcr' tne' Constitution of all perspns are are' fessr thajr black; therefore, persons iess than half black, are voters, tinder the Constitution of Which rfeaisoningproCeeds upon the affirmation that ttie part, is equal to the more than'-half, is all; that three is-wbite; tiratUsyfEat three 'fourW is'e'qual- to tfie'wkrte. NO. XXV But, it is contended, there should bo somo limit--sorne certain and fixed rule, upon the subject of color. There can be no more certain and definite rule upon tlto sabjcct, than that which tlie Constitution lays down.

To that no person ran vote who is not while, is as definite as to sivy all persons arc voters who are loss than half black, arid of far more easy practical application, because where it would bo easy to determine whether a man had any black blood in Lira, it might be impossible to determine tho exact amount ii persons who wore mixed. The whole diilcrenc'e strikes mo to bo this; that, wheu tho Constitution lias declared one ruie upon tho subject of colo'r, a majority or this Court have declared a totally different destructive of, and repugnant to the one laid in the constitution. Whether a man is white or black, is a question of fact; that the white man only, shall have the right to vote, is a rule of law, and that it may be difficult to determine a given case the fact comes within the law, does not impeach tho rule of law as uncertain, but mly proves that the question of fact is 'hvol'ved in doubt The position that all persons, less half black, are white person'! Dossessed of the p'clitical rights of citi senship, is supported, neilhor by the oxantyles of authority of other States by tho policy or practice of oui own, nor by judicial decision. It always has been admitted, that our political institutions embrace the white population Persons ofcol- or were not recognized as having any Dolitical existence. They had no agen cy in our political organization, and no political righU under it.

"The result of those discnssiorft was Philosophical Society of Qhio, vol. lit igeir ultof an abandonment of all tho propositions which had been made, and a general conviction that a constitution should be formed for the free white popula.ion of tho district, Who, alone, were represented in convention; that its phraseology should bo so guarded as to show that people of color were not considered as parties to tno compact; and, as thej had no agency in its formation, so they should have uone in its administration." The same writer further observes, that they were regarded position of the a aborigines, vvhcrlJEhained hi the State after they had ceded their land to the general government; that they have the moral right, whilst suffered to rcm'ain, to cluim protection of our laws, and to bo treated with justice and humauity, but, beyond that they have no claim.

Indeed, the hope always has been cherished, that the tiino 'would come when this unfortunate race'should be removed from our community, and placed in snmo position where thcv could, among theiMclW'V enjoy theiV own government and administer its affairs; or, at least, that Ohio, which is free from slavery, should bo rid of a population, which, while they remain among us, must bo mweiablo and do- jro blood; and, by tho practice of no of tho Slates, have persons, only ess than half black, been treated a-! vhite. I have not been able lo find my judicial decision to this effect, and presume there'is none. Our Con'ti- ulion was formed in view ol'lhis prac- ice and prevailing sentiment; andJ4ie of a like prohibitory clause, especting color, with our forces upon us the conclusion that, with the rohibitory clause, we'adopted the con- truction which it always received. Such, is the construction which, in point fact, we have always given our Con- titution; and, in practice, we have al- vays excludbd, fioiit the right of vo- mg, all persons of any degree of ne- blood. Indeed, it is a -matter of istory, that the very object of intro- ucing the word WHITE into the consti- ution, by the convention framing that istrument, was to put thi? question ieyonA all cavil or doubt, by, in ex- ress all persons from lie enjoyment of the elective fran- hise, except persons of pure white lood.

During ciir territorial organization, Ithough the Ordinance and the terri- orial act, designating the qualification electors, employed tho phraseology free male inhabit ante," yet negro, or person of any degree of lack blo6d, was ever permitted lo ote. This fact is familiar to the old ihabHants, who resided here during ur territorial" organisation. hraseology might be subject to'doubt; nd, although, persons with any por- on of colored blood were not con- idered a part of tho body politic, it light bo construed to' embrace them, fence, to avoid the possibility of such onstruction, the framers of our con- titution extend the'plrratfcology, from free male inhabitants," to "white male" inhabitants and incorporated' it ito khe constitution. In the convention framing our con- tituiibn, this question was a matter of warm, if not bitter discussion. A motion was made, on the report of the committee upon this clause, to strike out the word "WHITE." Amendments were proposed authorizing blacks and mulattooa, residing in the territory, to vote, and to'confer the like privilege upon thair descendontsy and, finally, in someway to recognize them' as citizens, by introducing a clause into the constitution, cxcliidmg'blacks and urn- lattoes from the right of voting, and prohibiting them' Irom holding office, either civil or military, but conferring upqrrthe'rrfall the rights of citizenship not'expressly excepted in the constitution.

Thh last proposition, if adopt-' ed, would so far have recognized persons ol color as citizens, that the Legislature could never have enacted laws to'remoye them from the State, employing the black- and mulatto, might have been constructed to confer full pol'tical rights upon' all less" than-half black or mulatto; although in' where blacks and'Hurlattoes are prohibited frbnr political all persons, of any degree of bla'ck bloofl, are held to be'mu- lattoes.

The two races arc- placed, as wide apart by (he hand of nuturo as wltiicfroni and, to breakdown the barriers, fixed, as it were, by the Creator himself, in a political and social amalgamation, shocks Uh.us something uiuuturnl and wrong. It strikes us as a violation ol tho laws of Nature. It would be productive of no good. It would degrade the white, if it could bo accomplished, without elevating tho black. Indeed, if we gather lessons of wisdom from the history of mankind -walk by the light of our cxpciiunco, or consult the principles of human nature, we shall ho, convinced that the two races never can live together upon term's of equality and'harmdhy.
