yites you to a renewed exertion in be-
half Of that good old cause which,
both by the history of times past and
by the lessons of the present day, we
know to be identified with the prosper
ity and the glory Of the Republic.
In 1910. we were overwhelmed in
Ohio by a popular majority against Us
of more than twonty-three thousand,
out of two hundred and seyenty-two
thousand votes.
Over three hundred thousand votes
have been cast at our late election, and
we have against us only the meagro
plurality Of probably O2e Thousand!
Before the election, eur opponents
vauntingly assured thair conf8doTates,
throughout the Union, that they would
have from fifteen to twenty thousand
majority. 1t is in vain that thoy now
endeavor to conceal their disappoint-
mant at the result, or to deny their fears
of the future. However loudly they
may boast Of their victory, they know
full well that it has loft them upon the
very brink of defeat.
If the strife for BayfJey, and for a
Wing Legislature in this State, thoy
were struggling for State spoils, and
for the plumber which they hope TO de-
rive from State Legislation
q
Not by their own strength, but by
u%nyiso divisions among our laionds,
they have won those spoils, and they
will control that Legislation. Howey-
er much we may doprocato those di-
visions, originating merely III local DIFF
fcuIties, which have given to the wings
the ascendency in our State councils,
slll we do not complain; and we are
prepared to wais Withpatient confidence
the hour in which their accustomed
abuse of power shall bring upon them
the just robuke ola free people.
In the battle which occurs on the.
LIST Of November, we meet our oppo-
nents upon national issues alone, and
have TO decide whether HENRY CLAY
or JAMES X. Polk shall receive Ohio's.
vote fer the Presidency.
The yeomanry of Ohio have no in
terest in HENRY Claws schemes Of
unoquaIand oppressive taxation:--thoy
have no interest III helping him to riy-
ct upon themselves the chains of Eas-
tern monopoIists they have no inter-
est in his FIFTY Milton Bank project
for they know, BY their experience of
the last United States Bank, how false.
it is that a National Bank can contrib
ute to their prosPsrity;--and they have
also, hearts too purely American to
cherish any attachment to the man
who bids them follow the examples of.
that British government which their
fathers wisely repudiatod. 1t is not.
the people, but it is the selfish whig
politicians, of Ohio, who ask that her
vote shall be given t Heury Clay.
Since the nomination of JA1IES X.
POLK, Twelve States, besides Ohio,
have held elections, thcrosults ofwhich
are now known. Tn only five Of them
have majorities Of the popular vote
been cast for the Wings. These five
are KENTUCKY, NoRTH CAROLINA,
VERMONT, MARYLAND and New JER-
sEY, which give but 40 Electoral votes
In the contest Of 1870, they gave an
aggregate Wing majority ofaboyo Co.
600: now they have given only 10000.
Wing majority, and that, too, in the
fullest vote they over east. Three of.
them, namely, NORTH CAROLINA, MA
RYLAND and New JERSEY, give MAJOR
tiles amounting, in all, toless than 5000.
and are therefore still doubtful in the.
Presidential contest.
LOUISIANA, INDIANA and MAINE,
which in 1910 gave an aggregate whig
majority of about 1900, have now
been nobly redeemed, and giyoa Dom
ocratlc majority Of 1900.
ALABAMA, ILLINOIS and MIlss0rRT
promptly maintain their former posi-
lions, with an aggregate Democratic
majority Of 100000.
PENNSYLVANIA, too, has spoken, and
that in a mannerworthy the State which
has been APPLY called the keystone of
the Aarch.' She voted for HARRISON
in 1910, but now, in spite of despair
ing Whiggery and Native American
ism combined, she announces to us a
Democratic majority of 5000, which
assures her 26 Electoral votes for
