Frotp the Ohio Statesman.
THE APPROACHING CONTEST.

We do not open any one of the numerous
able journals which advocate the principle
of true democracy in Ohio, without findin!
more or less evidence of a stern determine
lion on the part of the people to effect re
form in the government. Every where tn,
note of preparation is sounding. Conven
tons are been called--the primary move
ments are taking place, and able writer's arr
detailing the offences of the party now il
power. All things prognosticate a change
and we can see the result already ofa battle
In the appearances oft the present, the events
of the future are plainly to be seen. W.
can say with Schiller's Walenstein-
| 'As me sun,
! Ere it is risen, sometimes paints its image
In the atmosphere, so often do the spirits
OF great events stride on before the events,
find in to-day already ,calks to-morrow'.
And truly there is reason for a state O
public sentiment essentially different from
that which prevailed last year. The conduct
of the legislative majority of the last session
was such as no enlightened people-no peo
pie carefully regardful of its own interests
and anxious for the public welfare-can ap.
prove. To grant special privileges, likely tc
be deeply injurious to those who receive
them, as we'll as to destroy the rights of those
at whose expense they were granted, and to
throw the burden of taxation upon men
least cabable of bearing it, while exompting
lhe strong from participating in the task;
these seem to have been the principal acts
of that majority, and upon which they must,
in any fair statement of the contest, base
their claims to popular approval. Such being
the state of the case, there is every reason
in the world that the democracy should be
filed with encouraging hopes, and that they
should labor, zealously and earnestly, for the
'ealization of their hopes. They are thus
filled, and they do labor with all their might,
for the redemption of the State. The re-
ward of well-directed labor-of patriotic ex-
ertion in their country's cause will be theirs,
and they will be well paid for all by behold:
ing state of things which will put a stop to
the onward march of whigism.
Nothing can prevent the triumph of the
democracy in October, if they are united;
and we are not aware of the existence of
divisions in the party, in any quar,er of the
State. The evil which has resulted from
such divisions in former years, is too we'll
known to permit their being tolerated any
where. 1t will be found, we beie.e, that
wherever the democracy have experienced
defeats, in States where their principles are
well received, it has been the result of dis
sensions in their own ranks To quarrel
among ourselves, is to fight the battle for the
wings. Union, to win the battle; energy, to
maintain the advantage acquired; and wise
action, 10 commend our continued triumph
to the people these are the things which
the democracy require TO make their domina-
ton perpetual, as we'll in the state as in the
nation.

The commonly urged barriers to literar,

The commonly urged barriers to literary
advancement, supposed TO exist in our form
of government, the nature of our institutions,
the restless and turbulent movements of our
democracy, and the want of wealthy and
privileged class among us, deserve little con.
sideration. Tumult and strife, the clashine
of great interests, and high excitement, are
TO he regarded rather as aids than as obsta
cles to intellectual progress. From Athens
came the choicest literature and the fines
art. Her philosophers, so calm and profound
her poets, the dulcet sounds of whole Tyres
still charm the ears Of succeeding ages
wrote amid continual upturnings and over.
throws. The best authors of Rome, also,
were Senators and soldiers. Milton, the
greatest of the prose writer's as well as the
greatest of the poets of England, lived in the
commonwealth, and was participant in all its
political and religious controversies. And
whatrep had the blind old man ofSalams?
What repose had Camoens? or Dante? or
Tasso? In the literature Of Germany and
France, TOO, the noblest works have been
produced amid the shocks of contending ele-
ments.
Nor is the absence of wealthy class,
with leisure for such tranquil pursuits, to be
much lamented. The privileged classes of
all nations have been drones. We have, in
a part of this republic, large class, with
ample leisure, ample quiet; but they have
done nothing--the planters of the South
have done, comparatively, nothing-excepi
when startled into spasmodic activity by con-
aicts of interest with the North.
