Spirit of the times. [volume] (Ironton, Ohio) 1853-1858, 1854-10-17

We are aware that leadcn. Drained cd.
itors will attribute tho defeat Of the Ad.
minis.fasion ticket throughout the Free
States to everything else but tho true
cause. When the democratic party oil
this State, on The 9Th Of Janunry last,
shouldercd the Baltimore::platlorm, and
in quick succession thereafter, elected
George f.. Pugh, an ultra pro.sIavcry
man, to tho U. S. Senate, wo expressed
II as our conviction that the load would
break tho back bone Of the party in
Ohio.
We know it to be q fact that many OF

and the equal enjoyment Of every man to
the earth and its fruits, yet thoy can no
more stop the progress and final triumph
of these doctrines Of democracy. than
they can turn the current Of the Ohio
back in it's channel,
The beneficial effect Of the result OF
Ibis election will be to hoist from the
shoulders OF the democratic party Of Ohio

end hiadered its progress mon Of easy
virtue, that ha ve always been ready 10
shift their sails TO catch such breezes as
might wait them into place and authori'
ty. We of cou,se allude to a certain
set Of Congressional candidates that
have acted on the principle that the or.
sanization Of the democratic party was
for their especial benefit that no ideas
should be propagated among the people
until they had been endorsed by the cor.
gan," and the Administration at Wash.
ington. These men, who make politics
q trade, and who are ever ready 10 serve |
two masters, may. perhaps, yet learn that
it is the province Of the people TO lead
in opinion, and Of politicians to follow.
The results in the Free States may,
perhaps. serve as hint to the authori'
lies a. Washington, that Freedom and
not Slavery is hencelorth to be the ag.
yressive principle and power in this
1t is in vain that mercLantabIe politi.
