THE PRESS IN OHIO
For the victory we have won in Ohio (for,
let Ford be elected or not, il is, under the cir
cumstances. glorious victory we are much
indebted to her gallant press. Weller, Allen,
Morgan, and other speakers, have performed
wonders; but the sc miraculous organ of the
press is entitled TO part of the honor. All
the democratic editors have nobly done their
duty. and among them the fearless and talen-
ted Medary. He has surpassed himself IN the
present campaign. Having assisted to gam
the victory, he has now the right to commem-
crate its cause and its results. In his paper
of the 18th inst he says:
| s'Itis the most glorious triumph ever achiev-
| ed in the annals of western politics. The de-
mocracy fought against the allied cohorts of
abolitionism, ree-soilism, and Taylorism-all
of which supported Mr. Ford Besides this,
Ford had the advantage of being mum-ofnot
being committed to any of the new questions
at issue, and was claimed by all sides; while
Col. Weller, scorning all concealment. had
plainly, and fully, and freely defined his posi-
ton on every question"
But the editor of the {" Statesman" does not
stop here Like an experienced pilot, he looks
forward to the continuance of the voyage,
and thus pipes all hands to deck:
Prepare for tie nert Election.-The State
election is over, and now we must prepare for
the next contest, which is 10 give Cas-, But
Ter, and democracy the State of Ohio, by an
overwhelming majority.
AT the late election we were forced TO
fight abolitionism, free soilism, Taylorism, and
every other ism that could be raised into par
ty. Unless Taylor is abandoned, we fight the
two strongest of these factions separate at the
next election, and our triumph will be the lar
gest majority ever given in Ohio for Presl
dent
"Cass and Butler. the old pioneers of the
West-the men who fought 10 shield and save
the frontier settlers from the tomahawk and
scalping knife of the savages in the war OF
18l2-the men who stood up for equal rights
on the floor of Congress-the men who al
ways went for the country and against the en-
envy, deserve such majority
"Virginia, the mother of States, will wheel
up her thousands, while Ohio, the mother OF
the West, will swell it to tens of thousands
for the nominees of the democracy In the
North and in the South, in the East and in the
west, the great and glorious principles of de-
mocracy are progressing, and they will con
time to progress until the election day, when
whiggery will be the worst used up party that
this country ever saw.
"To WORK! DEMOCRATS, TO Work."
And We also re-echo the battle cry of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Ohio, Virginia, ev-
cry democratic State, South, North, East, OIL
West, we repeat. &C To qroyk. democrats to
arork! strike for your country and your cause -
