OHIO STATESMAN.

The efficient services of Col. MEDARy
in the late Presidential canvass, entitlt
him to the lasting gratitude Of the democ'
racy of Ohio and of the Union. And we
know of no way in which the democracy
can better express their appreciation Of his
services than by giving the Statesman a
generous and liberal support. The late
law, giving the public printing to the low
est bidder, has stripped him of every yes.
tage Of public patronage, and he must now
depend entirely upon the patronage extern
ded to the Statesman. W. trust that the
democracy will we'll consider this matter

that the editor of the Times is right?
But if that is not sufficient. the add.
tional sact might be stated that Gen. Scott
did not receive the vote Of a single State
whose delegates cast their votes for him in
Convention!
Gen. Scott should have had the votes
given to Hale; but instead of favor, he
received the bitterest opposition from the
press and the leaders Of that party Times
Of same date.
Suppose Scott had received aVthe votes
given 10 Hale. Pierce would still have been
elected. At least such appears to be the
footing up Of the result.
Gen. Scott was s~landerously assailed
as a Native American, and nearly all the
foreign population Of the country was ar
rayed against him. This p~alpable lie was
eminently successful, &c.-Times Of same
date.
Did the editor of the Times ever copy
a portion of Gen. SCOTS letter to Reed to
prove that the General wa a Protestant
and not a Catholic! We merely ask for
information. If he did not, hundreds Of
other wing papers did. The Astor House
letter is genuine, Except perhaps its date,
and the Times editor knows it.
We thought the PEOPLE would look at
the relative merits of the two men before
them, and that they would decide in favor
Of Winfield Scott. In this we have been
disappointed Times Of same day.
The editor of the Times was 'disap.
pointed" in the decision Of the people just
because the people did ''look at the rela-
tive merits of the two men before them,'
and their fitness for the Office Of President
of the United States. He can console
himself that he is only ''disappointed" in
thinking that the decision of the people
would be '.in favor Of Winfield Scott" and
not in thinking that "the people would
look at the relative merits Of the two men
before them"
