INFLUENCE OF THE OHIO ELEC-
TON UPON THE POLITICS OF THE
NATION.
We see BY the comments Of the Eastern pa
pers, on the election returns from this State,
that almost as much interest had been felt on
The result, in other States, as in our own. 1t
was generally understood that Ohio was the
battle ground where would be decided the for
tunes of The contending parties, and it is now
generally conceded by beth parties, that with
the turn f,he battle, Henry Clay has been
wheeled back into retirement, and the whig
party into confirmed minority. The effect
upon the tone Of the Wing press is very man
ifest, In some instances, Wings OF Ohio are
severely denounced for breaking up the Leg
islature, and in others the defeat Is laid upon
the shoulders of Henry Clay, but in all the
CONSCIOUSNESS that The bright star of Whigge-
~ has set, not soon to rise agan, appears to
be the predominant sentiment
The monrnful discovery is made, that im-
mense barbacues and conventions, goi up with
great labor and expense, have lost their charm
and power over the people. The spirit of 40
is extinct. The Dayton Barbecue it was sup
posed, had secured this Slate with large ma
iority, for The Wing party,-the Wings were
inspired with enthusiasm and confidence. The
ma gnfcence and grandeur Of that revel was
bruited in every Wing paper in the Union.
The Wings exuIled; The Democrats feared and
doubted, and all eyes were turned 10 Ohio.
No wonder, therefore, that the astonishing
result has produced such sensation in every
par, of the Unon. One Of The consequences
will be an entire change in the wbig method
Of ele ctoneering; and, far more important, the
revival Of courage, enthusiasm and confidence
ia the ranks OF the Democracy, all over the
Union~in the intelligence and atriolism Of
the people, and in the speedy triumph of their
principles.
With such advantages, the triumphant sue
cess Of The Democratic party in IA may be
safely regarded ss no longer uncertain.
Should we suffer our dismayed and routed oP-
pouents to regain The ascendency. the fault
will be our own not theirs. Eng
UNION AND HARMONY" .-"My hope
and bellef,' writes Thomas II Benton, "are,
that the Democracy will be successful a. the
next election, and mean 10 do my part 10
make It successful and for that purpose 10
practise upon my own motto-"EvERy THING
FOR THE CAUSE; NOTHING FOR MEN" This
(says the Portland Al s the right spirit,
and is worthy Of all imitation. Let Benton's
motto be that of The Maine Democracy hence
forward and forever. Itdeserves place IN
The text book every Republican, and while
it is faithfully pracsed on, by our political
friends, they may feel strong in the confidence
of fsuccess.'
u. S. SENATE OF 43 OF the seven
teen Senators, whose terms expire in March
next, ten are Democrats and seven Wings.
BY recent elections the Democrat have suc>
Ceeded in eIecting fourteen, the Wings three;
this gives TO Mr. Rves of Virginia, who has
been acting independent of both parties The
power Of passing or defeating every measure
brought forward 10 that body; until Tennes-
see elects her Senator'S; which will determine
The political complexion of the U. s. Senate.
In this calculation we have included Demo
cratic Senator from INDIANA, which the wings
pretend to claim.
