STATE OF OHIo.-Ihc wings have again
succeeded in carrying the State, as VIC appro-
hcnd, from the want ofadequate organization
and complete union among the republican
party. We look, however, for more auspi-
cious times and we shall again carry this pow
crful State, when our friends all rally upon
one common wise platform of principles. 1t
is The bank on,probably,upon which they
have split. And surely, if ever the republic
can party had strong inducements 10 rally TO-
gether 10 correct the miscbievous bank sys-
TEN which The wings have attempted 10 fas..
Ell around The neck of The State, the republic
ans have this motive to animate them at the
present moment. We hive received several
letters from Ohio, bearing upon the politics of
the State. One of the last is from a cores
pondant from S,cubenvilo, of the 18Th inst.
He writes: awe have elected our entire coun-
iy ticket, except the representative 10 tho
Stale legislature" He says the republican
candidlle was defeated in consequence ofthe
bank question; most of the dcmocfats(who he
calls ''bank democrlts," OF conservatves) vo.
ted for the wbig canddltc. He apprehends
that we are beaten in the State cg'sllture,
owing to the effect of this bank question: Ho
says, also, tina, some d;scon;cnthls been pro-
duccd by "the retaining of fedcralisis in Of:
fice;" and this is another element of dslr.
fcciion and defeat. Our correspondent then
s1ys, that "'o attempt 10 unite the democratic
party on any thing but principle is visionary,
and WILL in the eud, cause It's utter desiruc,

1t is principle, and that alone, that can unto

power in few counties, other than Jefferson,

CoD.--IIow much this title implies, no
tongue, human or angels, can ever express; ;
no mind conceive. 1t is volume Of an in
finite number Of leaves, and every leaf full
of meaning, 1t will he read by saints and
angels, through the agcs fc,ernjy, bntthcy
will never reach The last leafnor fully compre-
hend the meaning of single pagc. Look
back 10 The time when God existed inde-
pendent and alone; when there was nothing
but God; no heavens, no earth, no angels, no
men. How wre,ched should we, how wret-
ched would any creature be, in such siIua-
ton. But Jehovah was then infinitely hap
py beyond all possibility of increase. Hc is
an ovelAowing fountain, botiomless, and
shoreless ocean, of being, perfection, and hap
piness; and when this infinite ocean overhows,
suns aud worlds angels and men, s,art into
existence. Iwould ask you to pause and con-
template, for moment, this wonderful be-
ing. But where shall we stand to take view
Of him?-when we wish 10 contemplate The
ocean, we take our stand upon its shore
But this infinite ocean Of perfection has no
shore. There is not place where we can
stand TO look at him, for he is in US, around
US, above us, below us. Yet in another
sense, there is no place where we may not
look at him, for he is every where. We see
nothing which he his not made-no motion
which he does not cause; for he is all and in
all, and above all, blessed forever. Even he
himself cannot tell us fully what he is, forour
minds cannot take il in. He can ony say 10
US, am that lam. | am Jehovah.

A New WAY TO PROVE DEMocRAcY.-" Look on
this picture and on that':
"The late editors OF the Cincinnati Enquirer
impugned the democracy Of Dr.. Olds, of Picka-
way. This morning, the returns show the DR..
elected to the Legislature by majority of l6."--
Ohio Statesman.
The way this political Hessian has become
whitewashed into a pure democrat is thus ex
plained-juss as we expected
"PIcKAwAY CouNrY-Dr. Olds, Us we learn
from the Circlevlle Herald, is indebted to the
Whlgs Of that town for his election to the Legis-
lature. The town is pretty equally divided, and
on very close poll gives small Wing ma ority.
At the election on Tuesday last DR.. Olds received
majority of one hundred and ffty......From pri-
vate source we learn that the DR.. secured these
votes by plcdging himself against the Repeal Of the
Banking Law."-O. s. Journal
There is a prevalent disposition to claim success
as certain evidence of correctness of principle;
while convenient principles, bending to the pref
udices Of tho day, often achieves that success
which short-sighted politicians look upon as per-
manent. The man who rises into notice upborne
by some local animosity may shine for moment.
but will neither shine brightly or long, and GER
tainly the success gained by sacrificing the prin-
ciPies of the party with which man is allied,
though it may succeed, should only attach infa-
my to the selfish act, not sanction the doctrine
that the end justifes the means; besides it is
manly to act the charlatan than to flatter him.
politicians and their abettors should
be excluded from the friendship and countenance
of the honest men of every party. To make prin-
cples subservient to the elevation OF men is fraud
upen the people; and those who do so, are curse
to any party upon which they become hangers on
And we commend those of either party
who deny DR.. olds place in the Wing ranks, to
the acknowledgment of the Journal that it is to
dirty Wing bargain that this political leper holds
a place among those he is pledged to betray.
We have already devoted too much space
to this indvidual-but it is due to principle, no,
to the man.

ironically adds: "Let all the new county
claims be pushed through this winter, and
the people will choose the right kind Of off.
GERS to manage their affairs" This is a
species of advice which we apprehend the
whig Solons will not be very hasty to follow.
Their corrupt designs of party advancement
have been nobly frustrated by the people,
And as they only work for fodder--,hey will
not outrage the public by any more such
bootless effort for party aggrandizement.

| war, aud may convince, and obtain from
society the verdict that war is wholly
wrong, And TO the anxious inquiry for the
remedy, comes theGe no answer but " stop
fghting2" The wars, and wrangting,
and strife prevailing in the world, are the
effects Of o cause, and that cause, SO saws
your letter, " lies deep in the depravily of
fallen man." And in what does the de-
pravIIy Of mans nature consist! In per-
verjcd passions? Are there no external
causes for passionoI perversion? My
dear sir, look keeaIy inlo civilization
at its system Of education-at its pre-
valI'ng ignorance at its antagouistcal
,ommerce--at its war between capital and
labor and then tell US, have you not found
sufficient cause, for passionai peTversion
or the evils of the world! Before strife
an cease, the causes that produce it must
)e banished from the earth. In other
words, The very foundations Of the temple
If universal peace, have yet to be laid deep
n the bosom of mans social nature.
Your remedy however l may not fully

For the Voice Of Freedom,
To Mr. B. Of CGStle!on:

To Mr. b. Of CGStleton:
DEAR SIR.-The Voice Of the Cad IN
slant brought me your letter, 10 which !
hasten to reply. Time and limits, how
ever, will permit me 10 take up but two
Of tae points it contains, promising at the
same time that other points may be casual
Iy touched, in the progress Of The invest-
CATION.
After treating Of the origin Of war, the
judicial combat &C.. you proceed to say,
yet while the gentle hand of social re.
fnement has been prevailing against the
practice OF war in lis narrower circle, in.
,ernaioua! war sill retains its domain
And though it has undergone some chang.
cs, in form, and suffered some curtailmenl,
it can have no affinity with the social i'm
provemeuts Of nan; its very nature is re,
pulsive to such an ahmen. CirUizeG
tcarfare is an absurd contradiction ottermsl
We may as we'll speak of civilized barbar'
ity, OF refined pollution. And civilized
warfare, falsely SO Called ought long
since 10 have had lis place among The rub.
Dish Of the dark ages"
Now Sir can very well understand
that there has been great improvement, in
the physical and moral condition Of man,
Al the same time must be allowed to diff
fer slightly from the doctrine which seems
co be inculcated in this paragraph, All
Ghiags have had their place in the progress
of man. War, though terrible scoUrge,
has 40 doubt been cue Of the means OF
placing him in the elevated position in
which we fnd him. I must differ toe,
from the assertion made ia the previous
paragraph. that " in proportion as society
has improved, 10 the same proportion has
mor receded before it" Barbarism is
great advance !rom the savage, yet war is
carried on with a thousand fold more pow.
er in barbarism, than in the savage state,
The first is the savage horde mere hand,
f1l OF men, at war with another handful.
The second is Il whole nation, al war with
another nation. The Fist is but the bab>
bling Of the tiny brook, the other the
Gloarse roar Of the mighty ocean. While
freely admitting that mas social nature
is opposed to STRIFE. and war, must untiI
otherwise convinced hold the opinion that
gnan's social condition is favorable 10 strife
and war. 80 prove this appears an easy
task.
The three social conditions usually re-
cognized, through which man has passed,
or ia which he remains, are the Savage,
the Barbarian, and the Civilized. Surely
the savage condition is not favorable to
peace. On the contrary, it is favorable TO
cruelty and revenge, the parents OF war.
1t is true it gives not to man the means
OF carrying on war scientifically; and it,
furnishes him not with the thousand in.

ed by the authorities OF the State of New
: York, On charge Of homicide, aud HEX
70 'Tlai as for private felony" Thi:
great statesman proceeds as Secretary O
State to give his opinion thus. s Now, q
proceeding Of this kind was directly adj
verse to all we'll settled and received prin,
ciples Of public law, and likely 10 arouse
the indignation Of both government and
people," Such also was the claim Of the
British Minister. The opinion OF the Su
premc Court Of y. York was given by
Judge Cowan thus, elf he can show that
IN truth he was acting as a soldier in time
of public war, the jury will acquit him."
1.-The Judge will direct them 10 obey
the law of nations" Thus according to
the law of nations we have seen a militia
ry order from foreign power, screen a
murderer Of one Of our citizens, ia spite
Of the law Of an independent state. Yet,
according to the immulabe principles Of
right, as settled in the spirit Of every true
American not contaminated with the ira
ditjons Of despolic usuge, such an order
could have no more redeemiug influence
than an indulgence issued from under the
hand of the Roman Pontih'.
But our author seems to veneTate the
law of nations for its antiquity, in that it
has been "gathered by the bes! authori-
ties" Antiquity has sanctioned many
things in natural and mora science, which
American genius has exploded. BY what
Iauthorities2 Gfotias, in the former part
Of the seventeenth century, was the first
who made an attempt to compile a written
code from the usages Of nations, and OF
him history says, "whoever makes use of
his Writings should be aware that he is
reading gu fire, overspre0d with f4ithIess
ashes" An apt emblem for coakug the
practice of war under the sanction Of lQs>
lice and religion. VailePs law of nations
and laws of war succeeded as an improve
nent more in accordance with modern
usage. And yet Vattel himself acknowl-
edges that The unruIy passions Of depraved
man have a prominent part in establishing
those laws. Or, if we 50 farther back for
cur authorities, we may well apply to them
the encomium in John 8, "A. Finally our
author says" We Americans should be
the very last to propose such a congress.
1--WE may be sure our republican ministers
would play a very subordinate part" g..
Let men be sent who would not be subor-
dinale to any law but the law Of moral
right, the soul and spirit Of all law. In
such case, the congress could do no
good, it could do no harm, and the neces
sity of The case is worth all effort, even in
experiment. Oar American Republic
should be the first 10 propose such con-
eress. The nlan is ia perfect accordance
with the genius Of our government, while
the law of presidents is the origin of the
visionary distraction between noble and
iguoble blood, out Of which has grown

10 this reply; individual personal de
velopment is The only sure and permaner
dependence Of a happy state Of associate
man. And whatever might become G
"National Grandeur in his sense, thi

Another objection is "such a congress
would have to depend solely on public
sentiment to enforce its decisions" True
public opinion, and national character
would be lis dependence; but analogy
plainly proves that when public sentiment
shall call for such a board, public senti,
ment will Sustain its decisions. But

It is this. We have now " International

gathered by the best authorities" having
It's foundation in its antiquity and in the
fact that it has gradually developed itself
out of national intercourse Of peace, war,
SC. Had he said, the pr0udcst Uictor,
ocer civilization, we could have better un-
derstood him, as it has long operated in
many particulars as an impeachment TO civ
iIization. The laws Of nations are deduc-
ed from series OF precedents, formed
mostly by kings, tyrants and despoIs in
oden times. Precedents in many instan-
ces are called forth by extreme eXigcnces
So are acts Of adroitness and tact, sialagom
and ariice. They consequently compare
with the true principles with civil law
much as the manner of their enactment
with sober and deliberate legis>
lation. To show these facts and illustrate
their fragrant absurdity, will make a
few quotations from VatteI, the commonly
author for modern times. He
says of war; "the cause Of every just war,
is injury, either done Or supposed" Again
" war cannot be just GA both sides" In
every case susceptible Of doubt, the arms
Of the two parties are TO be accounted
equally Lawful as to external effects. The
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF neighborjng power
alone cannot give the right of war. y
Here the appearance Of danger gives the
RICH! against an overgrowing power, "Ie
who breaks the political equilibrium may
be weakened. "On the declaration Of
war, a nation has right of doing towards
he enemy whatever is necessary to this
UNSUITABLE end of bringing him to reason
md obtaining justice. The lawful end
gives true right only to the means" -
Is The glory of cation depends entirely
On its powers" " He who attacks lis
glory does it an injury, and it has a right
by arms to demand recompense. To ex.
