THE DAILY UNION
STATE OF OHIO.


The wings have again succeeded in carrying the
State, as we apprehended from the want Of adequate
organization and a complete union among the
republican party. We look, however, for more
suspicious tines and we shall again carry this
powerful State, when our friends all rally upon
one common wise platform of principles. II is
the bank question, probably, upon which they
have split. And surely, il ever the republican
party had strong inducements to rally together to
correct the mischicvous bank system which the
wings have attempted TO fasten around the neck
of the State, the republicans have this motive to
animate them at the present moment. We have re-
received several letters from Ohio, bearing upon the
politics of the State. One Of the last is from a
correspondent from Steubenville, Of the 18th inst
He writes: eve have elected our entire county
ticket except the representative to the State egis
lature." He says the republican candidate was de-
feated in consequence of the bank question; NEST
Of the democrats (whom he calls Shank democrats"
or conservatives) voted for the wing candidate.
He apprehends that we are beaten in the State
legislature owing to the effect of this bank question
He says, also, that some discomfort has been

Office" and this is another element Of disaAection
and defeat Our correspondent then says, that
"to attempt to unite the democratic party on any
thing butprnciple s visionary, and will, in the end
cause its ut ter destruction and the final loss of our
free institutions. 1t is principle, and that alone
that can unite us together, band Of brothers, in
defence Of our republican institutions.
mo State in the Union presents to the world
purer democracy than Ohio. Yet federalism has, to
small extent, crept in among in disguise; and,
Notwithstanding it is but 1.-THE of the party,
yet it holds the balance ofpower in few counties,
other than Jefferson, and, as already remarked, may
defeat u.s."
We have received, also, communication from
Cleveland, intended for the press, from Messrs. In
glehart (the collector of the por) and Spencer,
(the postmaster.) 1t aludes to an editorial article
in the Union Of the 22d uldmo, under the head Of
SOHO press-proceedings in Cleveland" which they
feel called upon to notice. "The article was founded
(say they) upon letter written by ----,,
Of Cleveland, which stated, among other things that
there was hostility to the Union in Ohio; that in
Cleveland were concentrated few discontents, who
have for months been laboring against it, that new
paper to be started at Washington in direct oppo
slion to the 'Union that there two men in office
in Cleveland, who are the leaders of this clan"
'In making the above statements, Mr.. --
not only wfuy and maliciousy deceived you, sir,
but he has asserted that which every democrat here
knows to Be totally and utterly false. They are
gross gratuitous, shameless fables, made without
particle of truth to sustain them Who is -
-- What is the character Of this letter-writer,
who thus attempts to palm himself of, in the col
umns Of the Union, democrat These are
giving judgment; and, as Mr.. --'s assertions were
permitted ogo forth to the public without his sig
nature being attached, we feel bound to let the de-
mocracy Of Ohio know, through the same channel,
the political history of this man --."
Here follow some pretty severe structures; but
the writer must excuse US from publishing an arti-
Gle which must lead TO paper war in the "Union.' y
The attack is founded on the presumption that a
particular person is the author Of the letter ad-
dressed to ourselves We must be excused from
taking, even indirectly, any part in such imputa-
ton. We can assure the two gentlemen in ques-
ton that we have no sympathy with the imputed
bank relations Of the writer; and that the retaliation
which they desire to make upon him 10 not need
ed to yindcate themselves. The whole matter has
blown over here.
RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS IN OHIO
The two houses will probably stand as follows
we say probably, for few Of the counties are no
actually heard from
