THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO

The political conflicts which have for years
agitated the people Of Ohio, have been to us
source Of no little interest. The bold positions as
sumed, and never deserted by the democrats of this
great State, are of themselves sufficient to awaken
feeling of enthusiasm in behalf of the courageous
men who possessed the intrepidity to lead the ven
in the cause of PRosREss and the moral heroism to
bear aloft their banner, less proudly in adversely
than in prosperty-when vanquished than when
victorious
Never shall we forget the admiration with which
we witnessed the efforts of the democracy of Ohio
during the memorable campaign of 1910. With
the whig candidate for the presidency, citizen OF
their own State, perambulang almost every county
in the Commonwealth, haranguing his adherents.
and melting them to action; with the most popular
orators of Kentucky and the other adjacent States
turned loose within her borders, inhaming the
minds ofthe people, and some of them proclaiming
the doctrine that if defeated at the baobox resort
must be had to the bayonet to hur the democracy
from power-when the worst passions of men had
been appealed to, and menaces substituted for per
suasion, and bludgeous for facts--then ii was that
theunterred republicans of Ohio, regardless of the
odds arrayed against them, barred their bosoms to
the storm, needless Of its ruthless peltings. Able
orators-led on by the dauntess Allen, whose heart
has ever throbbed in sympathy with the toiling
millions--penetrated each nook and corner, and
braved every danger in their efforts to stem the tor
rent of deception, prejudice, and passions--whilst
at the same time corps Of editors, with Medary's
"Ohio Statesman at their head, unintimidated by
the frowns of power and the threats Of violence
from phrcnsed partisans, fought the battle with
fearessness, energy, and ability unsurpassed in the
history of the government. The result is known.
The democracy lay PROSTATE beneath whig ma
jority Of over twehty-three thousand. But such
body Of men could not remain defeated Ere the
enemy's shout of triumph had ceased to echo in the
hills, they were again in arms, equipped for action;
and dauntessly facing this whig majority Of $4,000,
they charged upon the opposition, and before the
expiration of single year, majority of republi-
returned to each branch of the State legis-
lature. A party such this may be defeated
through deception, for a season, but never perma-
nenty vanquished. We designed, however, not TO
speak Of the past but refer to the present and the
future.
The signs Of the times in Ohio are big with hope
and promise; and il is to us source of sincerel

FROM MEXICO-ADvICES FROM THE
GULF SQUADRON

Dispatches from Commodore Conner, under dates
of l0h l2th and l4th of August have been received
at the Navy Department, some extracts from which
we lay before readers.
In reference to the accident that befe the Cumber-
land, Commodore Conner says, that "the guns, spars
shot, provisions, &c, that were removed from the
ship to tighten her, that occasion, were all re-
covered and put in their places two days after the
ship was got afoat. With the exception of some
injury to her false keel, and the probability that some
of the copper on the bottom is injured rubbed off,
as stated in my letter above mentioned, am not
aware the ship has sustained any damage of conse-
quence."
"The British ships" he adds, "anchored at Sacri6-
clos, have lost several men by fever The cases
were so numerous on board the steamer Vesuvius
that it was deemed necessary to send her to Bermu
da. Although the weather has been extremely wet
and unpleasant for the last three weeks, the crews
Of the different vessels of the squadron still continue
to enjoy good health.
"The Mississippi was detained forty-eight hours
to await the arrival of the English steamer from the
Havana. She anchored at Vera Cruz on the 14th
Of August. General Santa Ana ,oas not on boardp
A rumor had obtained that Mexican privateer
had been seen off the Havana. One of the ships of
the squadron was at once despatched to make search
for her, but no trace OF any such vessel could be
found. Several ships cruising in that region were
boarded for the purpose Of obtaining intelligence
but none Of them had heard of any prvateering yes
sci. The rumor is deemed TO be without founda-
ton. Commodore Conner confirms the intelli-
gence that 'the garrison Of the city of Vera Cruz
and San Juan de Ulua pronounced against the gov.
ernment of General Paredes and in favor of General
Santa Ana, on the 3lst utimo.
"An express from Mexico arrived at Vera Cruz
on the afternoon Of the 9th, with intelligence that
the city had pronounced and would fully adhere to
the plan of Vera Cruz. Gen. Morales is at the head
Of the movement in the capital. Nearly all the de-
partments have pronounced against Paredes, and the
remainder, it is believed, will follow their example,
that there can be no doubt but that his govern.

following persons: jose Jonsquim Pesado, minis

all in favor of making peace Immediately with the
United States, and Of calling a new Congress to

/ ANOTHER COTTON FACToRY.-lt will be seen by
Mr.. Duff Green's advertisement, that his facto-
ry, at Falmouth, is now in operation. We chronicle
this fact with the utmost pleasure, and hope the
worthy proprietor will reap the full harvest his en-
terprse deserves. This is the third cotton factory
in our immediate vicinity; and all, we believe, are in
successful operation. The old Plymouth Company
have become famous for the excellent quality Of
their goods the Fredericksburg Company is coming
rapidly into public favor and we are told that the
elm Factory" is supplied with the best machinery
which could be obtained. Success to them all. Our
merchants and planters ought to make it matter OF
conscience to patronise them the extent of their
power-Frsdericksbur Recorder.
This is the true spirit, and should be thoroughly
carried out. Yet we are informed that, few days
since, whig tariff merchant of this city asserted
emphatically that he would not buy yard of fan
mel of the Richmond Wooen Factory, as long as it
was under the management of a 'locofeco" Though
the fabrics made at this establishment are as good
and cheaper than can be procured at the north,
this gentleman, under the influence of party preiu-
dice against free trade and the "locofoco" party,
and at a sacrifice of his own interest, will pass
by the establishments at his own door, and seek an.
other source of supply, simply because the prac-
teal and experienced manager of the factory here
is opposed to the restrictive policy, and cordially
believes that the tariff of 1876 affords ample "pro-
lection" for the manufactures Of woollens This is
I" protection Of domestic manufactures" with ven
geancel Though this is far from being the practice
Of the tariff merchants of this city, this case shews
to what extent party feelings will actuate a great
many. For similar reason, we see great many
persons in the south, who were formerly thorough
freetraders and went to the verge of qualification"
now the most ardent tarifites because of their idol
airy for Mr.. Clay.
Encourage the establishments at your own door
That is the true protective policy for the south.

didon Of affairs will probably cause them to return,
as their assistance may be necessary to one or
other of the eontending parties.
"A strong party exists in the country opposed
to Santa Ana, which, it is likely, will operate to
make him desirous of peace, should he even be able
TO o9ain power without fighting for it, AT all
events, the distracted and impoverished condition OF
the country, with a knowledge of the power of his
opponents, will prevent his sending any considers.
