We regret to see some signs of dissenson in the
State of Ohio. The press has felt as we'll as COM
municated the coniagion. We have not escaped
hits that have been made at the Secretary Of the
Treasury, and we have received some blows upon
our own shield. We are willing to forgive and for
get all these things. Will they rest here' Will
peace be made in the camper will the feud spread
We hope for the best. Wecannot permit ourselves
to doubt that the pressing dangers of the common
enemy, and the importance Of the pending election,
not only to the success Of the republican party, but
to the publication of public morals from the poison
GUS atmosphere of the banks, will prompt every re-
publican TO Danish discord from the camp, and unite
in the support of our common principles.
We are informed, by private letters, that in some
quarters of Oho-limited, we trust, to small sec
tons and to few isconents-there is some "hostlty
to the Union" that in Cleveland, for instance few
of these men are concentrated and for months have
been laboring to create prejudice against i'll! But
we confess, we are somewhat surprised to learn
from that quarter, Of the repeated and confident
serons which have been circulated, that "a new
paper was be established at Washington, in direct

the proceedings of the county convention which as

correspondent assures us that these resolutions were
adopted and but two voices heard in opposton; and
that "coud not but have been highly gratilied if

other particulars. Let say at respectfully,
we hope, but freely and frmly-that we have been
for than forty years in the character Of an edi.
tor Of a newspaper; that during all that time, from
the very moment when we entered the lists in the
face of the old federal party, down to the present
time, we have faced the ''s,ings and arrows" of a
severe opposition; that we have gone on to do our
duty in the battlefield in defence of our principles;
and that we can bear these attacks with as much
equanimi,y as most men can. We never had greater
confidence in our principles, in our cause, in our
associations, and in ourselves than we have at the
present moment. We have brought our indepen-
dsnce and our principles with us to Washington,
and we mean to maintain them against all the whigs
and against the few disconients Of our own party.
We came here not to make enemies, but to unite
our friends and we will strike at no man until we
are satisfied that he is ruthessly bent ON war with
our party We can bear and forbcar much We
make no undue concessions to any man for his
favor or friendship; but we have 80 much confidence
in ourselves, in the principles which we pursue and
in The motives by which we are sctustcd, that We
