THE CONTEs'F IN OHIO

the State, in which the following results arc
arrived at: In the Senate, l6 democrats;
Is wbgs;-an doubtful. llrths House, 25
democrats, "a wings, and 20 doubtful. In
The Senatorial list, the comfy Of Wayne
and The district Of Perry, Morgan and
Washington, are set down among the doubt
fll, a position, we think, which does not be-
long 10 them. They nre certainly demo-
cratic. Success in them alone, will barely
lc that body; a result which we must over
rule, by carrying, as wo can, the district Of
Ross aud Hooking. In Huron and Erie,
our changes of success are at least equal 10
those of our opponents. In tho House, the
apporiionment is very much against us; bu,
by vigorous effort, on the part Of our friends
hr the closely balanced counties and districts
this obstacle may be overcome. We want
l Of the22 doubtful votes TO givo us ma
jority; and we havo no liesilancy in saying
they eau be secured.
But we lay aside all these calculations
They are kind Of siimulant which our de-
mecTacy do not require at any time to in
duce them to action. We CAN wheel this
good State into the democratic line; and we
MUsT DO IT. The very causes which should
stimulate us 20 action, arc the ones which,
with proper exertion, will give us the vclo-
Ty.
We must preserve the character Of the
State FOR honor and pairieiism. We have
presented 10 us, by tho whig leaders, in 50
many words, the issues, whether the country
s, or is not 10 be sustained when at war with
a foreign cnemy. Whether hef flag is TO be
born aloii in triumph until peace be hunolbly
acquired, and permanently established, OF
be traied in The dust, an emblom of weakness
and su object of scorn. Whether our
| rights, as nation and those of our citizens,
are 10 be asserted and vindicatcd,-or tamely
abandoned, and suffered To be trodden under
The feet Of the enemy Whether our brave
men in The field are 10 be snccored and sns-
tsincd, and cheered on their patriotic devo-
ton 10 their country, or recalled by starvation,
aud covered with disgrace.
We must sustain that great national policy
which now, in The fall Tide Of successful cx-
pertinent, is bringing home to every interest
IN tho counry, degree Of prosperity never
before experienced; which has broken up 10
a great cxlent, the restriction upon trade,
aud removed the bonds that a partial and I'M
just system oflsgislalion had imposed upon
Labor; which has opened to our products ihe
markets of the world, aud made light the
hearts and heavy the pockets Of our husband-
men.
We must fix, and permanently establish,
a line of State policy, embracing the great
sieasurcs for which we have been 80 long
and faithfully conendiny. We mnst give
to the people an opportunity of amending
their organic law, AS well so as TO give il
greater efficiency as 10 conform il to the en-
lightened spirit of the age.
| We must check the onwarl march orcorpo-
rate power aud privileges; hold in restrain,
those that exist, and savo The State from the
future iahc,ion of such evils
We must esualize the bur,hans Of govern
ent between money and labor by
" laying The hand Of taxation upon every
man according 10 his wealth, and sabjecIing
corporations to tho same rulo as indiyidu-
luIs. .qaa
we must check ths iscrease Of the State
debt; and provide for lis liquidation at the
periods designated, whan il was contracted;
soue Of which will very soon expire.
We must stay he hand Of pruhjsate ex-
peudture; and tnrn The legislation of tho
State to its Legitimate purpose-ihe accom-
plshnent ef'he greatest good TO tho great
eat number.
These labors are all before US, and we

rule, and have found them any thing but
beneficial. They will turn from he posi-
lions now assumed by The leaders with in
