Friends and FsllOtO CaASsns:
A glorious work lies before you'll The result of last
Tuesdays contest invites you to renewed exeton in
behalf OF that good old cause, which both by the hstc
Ty of times past aud by the lessons Of the present day.

glory Of the Republic. . 4, ,.......... ,,.. s.-.r
In ls4O, we were overwhelmed by popular MAORI |
~ OF more Than twentyhree thousand out OF two hun
dred and seveny-two thousand votes. o.sOE. -7a
Over three hundred thousand have been cast at
our late election and have against only the meage
plurality Of probably One Thousand ; .., -
Before the election our opponents vauntngy assured
their conferades throughout the Union, that they
would have from fifteen 10 twenty thousand majority. |
is in vain that they now endeavor 10 conceal their
disappointment at the result Or TO deny their fears for
the future. However loudly they may boast OF their
victory they know full well that it has lett them upon
the very brink Of defeat 1 80 .ii a.F q .iJ.
In the strife for BARLEY and for whig Legislature
in this State they were struggling for State sPols and
1or the plumber which they hope derive from State
Legislation. 1899 UsG1 iaa@lf '.-d.
Not BY their own strength but by unwise divisions
among our friends they have won those spoils, and
they will control that Legislation. However mach we
may deprecaie those divisions, originating merely in
local difficulties, which have given 10 the wings the as
tendency in our State councils still do not complain
and we are prepared wait with patient confidence the
hour IN which their accustomed abuse Of power shall
bring upon heh the just rebuke of free people. 2.
In the battle which occurs on the LIST of November,
we meet our opponent upon national issues alone and
have to decide whether Henry Clay or James r. PONt
snail receive Ohios vote for the Presidency. "''
The yeomanry of Ohio have no interest in Henry
Clays schemes of unequal and oppressive axaOn;-
they have non Elm helping him torve upon themselves
the chains Of Eastern monopOlislsthey have no inter
est in mis- FIFTY MILLION BANK project for
they know by their experience oflhe last United States
Bank, how false it is that National Bank can conri-
butte to their prosperity anc they have also hearts too
purely American 10 cherish any attachment to the man
who bids them follow the examples of that British Co.
vernment which their fathers wisely repudiated 1t is
not the people, but lis the selfish whig politicians of
Ohio who ask that her vote shall be given to Henry
Clay. t'. "''
Since the nomination Of JAMES K. POLK, Twelve
States hesdes Ohio have held elections the results Of
which are now known In only five Of them have major
tiles ofthe popular vote been for the Wings. These
=
land and New Jersey which give but 48 Electoral votes
In the contest OF 1910, they gave an aggregate Wing
majority Of above 10000 now they have given only
10000 whigmaorty and that too in the fullest voehey
ever cast Three Of them namely, North Carolina
Maryland and New JERSEY, give najorties amounting
in ali to less than 5000, and are therefore still doubtful
In the Presidential contest. ~.
Louisiana, Indiana and Maine, which in 1870 gave
an aggregate Whg majority Of about 1900, have now
been nobly redeemed and give Democratic majority
OF 1900.
Alabama, Iuinsts and Missouri proudly mainair
their former positions, with an aggregate Democratic
majority Of 10000. IA .4....

Ter worthy the Stale which has been apty called th'
keystone Of the Arch She voted for Harrison in 1910
and now in spite of despairng whiggery and Native
Americanism combined she announces to us Demo
cratic majority Of 5000, which her 96 Elecora
votes for POLK and DALLAS with absolute Ger
iainty. ...a,
These signs are not to be mistaken and the late resul
Ohio does but add to their force
Every where, in the East and in the West in th
South the current Of popular opinion has been precise

the past That Virginia will stand where she stood il
1910, and that New York will follow the examples o

What shall be done By the Empire Slate fMc West
This is the question for her embodied Democracy
to answer. Ifthey will do their whole duty, they vii
find it an easy task to give the vote of the State

If, on the first day Of November, each county in tn
State will exhibit compared. with the late result

We know hatsome, among our political opponents
entertain the foolish fancy that their national ticket
stronger than their State tickets. This they have pre-
tended in Kentucky, fT'Ma' and, in NoEh Carolina
in Indiana in Maine, ard Id Pennsylvania; and thi
they now pretend in Ohio. But theyart strangely an
greatly mistaken. They not only blind to the sign
ofthe times, but they forget the records Of the past
Mr.. Clay has always been weight upon his party.
He was the lowest Of four candidates ID 1924. Hi
cause was identified with the Adams administration s.
