brethren deem it eXpedent 10 make determined
effort this Fall. NEw-JERsEY has done all that
could be wished, but Ohio has faltered. By gen.
erous effort to their State from most iniqut-
Gus and shameful Apportionn,ent, ard the Union
from its consequences in gross misrepreseuta-
ton in the House, such as has 50 long been exhib
tied in the Senate, the Wings have subjected them
selves, however unjnstly to the charge OF anarchy
and that has suficed for their temporary prostra-
,ion By majority of barely 5000 in 100000
votes-or less than one in sereaty-they are over
borne. The manner of this defeat is as evident
as the cause. While there has been an increase of
votes in the strong Loco-Foco Counties. the Wing
strong-hods have been but partially drawn out;
and enough Whig votes remain unpoed in FIVE
Counties to have changed entirely the result ofthe
contest Shall the warning be lost upon ERIE,
CHAuTAueUE, WAsHIaGTos and Old GENEsEE
We would not underrate the magnitude of this
disaster. Doubtless in 1874 when the name of
HENRY CLAY is directly before the People, the
Whg voters whose apathy has caused this mischief,
will come out and Ohio be found on the side of her
principles and her interests. Noman can compare
the State would at this time have given decided
majority FOR the Wing candidate for President
But the deplorable consequences this
| more imminent and at the same time more endu-
| ring than those of wrong vote in 1914. They
extend through the whole Of the ensuing ten years.
By this result the Loco-Focos empowered to
consummate their villainous plan of ApportioR-
ment, which piles up all the decidedly Wing Coun-
ties in six Districts and distributes the Leco-Fo-
co strong holds so as to cover and bind down all
the debateable ground, giving that party fifteen
on the present vote, and fourteen Cor two-thrds
of the entire delegation) in defiance of popular
Whig majority of thousands. Throughout the en-
suing ten years, then, we must surely expect to
encounter, no matter what may be the verdict of
her People, the two Senator'S and two-thirds OF
the Representatives of Ohio arrayed in deadly and
unceasing hostility to the Restoration of q UNI
FORM NATIONAL CURRENCY, to the Protection
OF OUR HOME LABOR, to the LAND DISTRIBUTION,
and to all the great measures essential to rebuild
ing of our National Prosperity.
Here is the psint of danger on which we have
been impeed az this time TO address you. The
Loco-Fo Focos of Ohio, though they have triumphed
at this time on the strength of their deaenlng
clamor of Treason p against the resigning Whig
Members of the late Legislature, and by masking
for the moment their deadly hostility TO any form
of Banking or Paper Money, yet decided and
! frank upon all questions of National Policy. They
are Deslructives of the least equivocal stamp; op
posed not merely to all measures looking to a Na-
tonal Currency but openly, bitterly hostile to the
Protection of American Industry. Their Governor
elect is understood to be Calhoun man. they are
all, with rare exceptions, supporters of the Cal
houn doctrines. There is no incidental nor
horizontal juggle about them. In hostility to
Protection and hatred of its advocates they are
not exceededby their brethren of New Hampshire
or South Carolina. And such will inevitably be
the large majority of their Representatives in the
next Congress, no matter what may be the vote OF
the People.
Thus, Freemen of New-Yo the grealissue OF
Protection or No Protection comes down TO you.
Ohio, though still Wing at heart, and safe to vote
with us for President throws her giant weight for
years into the scale of British Free Trade. A new
Congress is now to be elected, in which desperate
struggle will be made to repeal all the Protective
features of the New Tariff, and reduce it to sys-
TEN of low horizontal duties for Revenue merely.
| NEwYoRK is the first State to elect legally Mem
bers of that Congress- Shall they be consistent,
hearty advocates, disguised and treacherous
enemies of Protection? Your votes and your cxer-
ertions must speedily determine.
For than fifty years, down to last winter,

form position this question. Her Voice has been
spontaneously, earnestly raised in favor of the
principle and policy of Protection Her ilustrious
| Governor, GEORGE CLINTON, urged lis adoption
| even before the Federal Constitution formed
as we'll as repeatedly afterward. Protection to
Home Industry was one of the chief inducements
TO the formation of that Constitution, and of her
assent to it. Her far-sesing and eloquent HAM
LroN early and ably illustrated and defended the
policy of Protection, in Report which has never
vet been controverted. Her patriotic ToMPkINs
repeatedly and zealorsly urged in his several Mes
sages the most efficient Protection of our Home
Industry by the repression of Foreign rivalry. So
did her great De WITT CLINTON, we'll as most
of his successors Her Legislature in each case
responded TO the sentnent, not only Win aiacrity
but with remarkable unanimty, as the Journals
abundanty show. On no important question has
there been such entire and cordial unanimty among
the People of New-York through half a century
of agitation, on this topic of Protection, down
TO the era of co-Focoism.
II the question of Protection or No Protection
could now be submitted directly and SIMPLY to the
People of New-York, we cannot doubt that the
