A vociferous 1860s critique argues Congress will press a constitutional amendment to force black male suffrage nationwide. It claims Ohio rejected a similar measure in 1867 by over 50 000, predicts Indiana and other states will assent under political pressure, and warns Radical gains may push the amendment through despite local opposition.

Outlets Sought for Rail Link to Lakes and Gulf
The Columbus editor urges immediate public support for completing the Scioto and Hocking Railroad to create a southern outlet from the Lakes to the Ohio River and Gulf of Mexico. He argues such a route would unite northern and southern rail systems, develop mineral wealth in Perry, Mocking, and Vinton counties, and relieve the current depressed condition by opening eastern markets through Newark and other northern points.
