"Sacred to Ohio is the Union of the
States"

We have again to congratulate our friends
on most signal victory acquired over the
powers of des2otism. After one of the
most hotly contested campaigns, victory sits
upon our banner, and freedom still has a rest
ing place in the homes of the noble Buck
eyes. The open enemy and secret foe have
both been overthrow, and the Repub-
lican cause is triumphant. We felt no fears
of the result as against the Democracy, but
there were those who, while they pretended
friendship for our cause and portion of our
ticket, were fighting, most bitterly, for the
defeat of our noble lender. Confusion is
theirs-they haze no pan in the great victory
which has been achieved in our State. In
summing up the killed, wounded and missing,
their names will be found in the list 1t is
no use for them now to come in and say, eve
are glad Medil is defe,ted"--for they are
not glad, but, ostoEishec at the Republican
strength they desire to conciate it, and
worm themselves into its good greces. They
are perfectly understood.
For day or two after the election things
looked gloomy--the news was uniuvorable'
Reports from the large cities went to show
that CHASE was defeated. The cities all
went against him:--Cincnnati, Columbus,
Cleveland, Sandusky, Zanesville---but when
the lightning brough, in the reports from the
rural dstricts-the regions where liberty finds
her genial home, the scale was turned. There
the inhabitants love !iberty--they inhale it
with every breath of the pure air--they
worship it and, thank God, they uote for il!
Ohio ha, covered herself all over with
glory. Sisters of the conSedrrooy! Look at
her! Initiate hcr example, and advance the
great cause o! liberty, OF humanity and oi
Christianity

Gov. Shannon in Kansas.

We had hoped that all talk here, of Gov.
ShanRon's course in Kansas WINS forever at
rest, and that he would be left to the unenvi-
able notoriety which he has acquired since
he became governor of that "colony of Mis-
souri," But it seems we were Mistaken
Some of his political friends in Ohio, seeing
the desperate state of things brought about
BY his Westport speech, wrote to.him,to send
on aud contradict his speech. In due course
of time, the mail brought back letters to
"Mr. Stephen Gressinger," "Col. Samuel
Mcdary," and others, two of which letters
may be found in another column. We have
but few words to say in relation to these
letters. In his letter to Gressinger he says
"'ro aid in the elections OF Ohio ard Pennsylvania
they charge mo with making pro-savery speech
! in Wcslpurt, Missouri"
And in the letter to Col Medary, he says:
"ThiS report, doubt is put in circulation tc al.
| feet the elections i'll Ohio and elsewhere"
Now this shows the Governors :entrc ig-
nCrance of the !whole subject The West
port pro-savery speech was never reported
by an one who had the slightest interest IN
the elections in Ohio or Pennsylvania. Il
was reported by Missouri gentleman,for the
st, Louis Democrat, pro-slavery paper. o
the attempt on the part OF the Cows friend,
to disprove this speech, the ST.. Louis Demo
crat speaks as lolows;-
"'rhere cnn be no question as to tho truhfulnoss
oi report, and that il was not only truthful, bu
taken down rerbdtim et Hterdtm as Governor Shan
non delivered it, We sent to Kansas, as our report
er. an accomplished stenographer in order TO avoid
any mistakes or inaccuracies, and so highly havi
his reports been appreciated that they were not only
copied by nearly all territorial and border Rewspa
pors, as well as extensively throughout the UnlleC
States, hut were pronounced by the members OF thu
Legislature themselves tar more authentic than any
others which were published"
So that part of the subject has its qaieias

Of his nature, and obsequiouS 10 the bidding of his

erecordia! Have mercy on us. That charge
is worn out, Sa nuel it won't wiz. Even the

given it up.

A New Volume.

We last week commenced upon the EIGHTH
volume of The CHRONICLE, and we are glad
10 be able to state that our list IS larger, and
our prospects more flatterng than ever be-
fore. We cannot but feel grateful for the
liberal support of our friends, but while doing
so we are reminded that there are a number
who have never paid Us cne cent in oil the
seven gears. We think it is hut simple act
of Justice to ask those who know themselves
to be in arrears to come up and settle. In a
week or two we will make out the accounts
of persons who are more than year in our
debt, and forward them to their address. 1t
is time our books were squared, and we shall
make an early effort to have it done.

Mrs TIRZA A. RAMSEY, widow of DR.. w.
H. Ramsey, and youngest daughtet of the
Hon. Benz. Ruggles, departed this life eli the
Goth ult., in the 3ath yeur of her age, at the
residence of her father.
The deceased was truly am:able sin all the
relations Of life, as daughter, q wife, a
mother, sister, friend. Never have we
known any one who was more conscientious
in trying to walk uprightly before God and
man. She received her first religious i'm
pressons in the Sabbath School connected
with the Presbyterian church in this place,
in which she was for several years very
useful and much beloved teacher. She unit-
ed with the church when the Rev. Joseph
( Smith, d, d, was its Faster, and has for
many years been a worthy and exemplary
member During the last years Of her life
she was a very igreat sufferer; having
disease which bullled all ssmedical skill, and
from whose agonising pains she received no
relief but what was produced by the influence
of Morphine, wher greatly pained she would

all her suflerirgs with patience g. sabmissi on

| The death OF he husband last winter near
New Orleans where he had gone for his
health, coming upon her suddenly and un-
expec:edIy was very severe shock upon her
delicate constitution, and doubtless hastened
her dissolution. But her pains and tears are
now all over. The Saviour in whom she
trusted for salvation, and to whom she looked

YOU are not ready for it' "yes," SIZE said, "I
dream almost every night that my mansion is
not yet ready but long to have him come"
! Her experience upon her death bed was
not uniform, sometimes a cloud was upon her
mind, and at other times all was bright, she

However painful it is to part with dear

The Virginia Iron Works.

Our friend DR.. s. HoLLowAY, Of the firm
Of Kelley, Holloway, g. Co, at Benwood, va"
was present at the lair last week with some
specimens OF nails, made at ihe virginia
Works, which were considered, by all who
saw them, as being of the best quality
They are smoothly, and regularly finished,
and made of the best material. They are
now at our Office where they may be examin-
ed. Being always interested in western
manufactures we made inquiry, and learned
the following facts in reference to the ca
pacty and extent of the establishment
There are over 200 hands employed con-
stantly, making, weekly, from 1900 TO 2ooo
kegs Of nails, of various sizes. The entire
expense Of the establishment, including coal,
ore, labor, &C., ranges from $500 to $500
every week. The nails made in the Virginia
Works command the highest price in market,
and always find ready sale.
One of the most commendabl, features in
the economy of this firm is the erection of
dwelling houses for the accommodation OF
their employees. They have, already, 60
dwellings erected for this.purpose, ,which,as the
works have not been in operation quite three
years, is doing admirably land gives unmistak'
able evidence of prosperity arising from good
management. Such establishments are the
life of State, aud a country, as they are the
principal sources of our wealth, and power.
When we manufacture at home every thing
necessary to our support as people, then
and not until then will we be truly indepen-
dent. But while we must, drown out the
furna ce fires in factories at our doors, and
send to England for their pauper labor tc
build our railroads. and other improvements
we cannot look for that feeling of pride in
our country and her resources, which real in
dependence always engenders.

PENNSYLVANIA Election!

BY reason of a fusion in Pennsylvania, be-
tween the Nebraska Democrats, the Anti
Know Nothings, and the Liquor League, or
i-prohibitonis;s, the Republican move
ment has been defeated by about 10000
The Democracy think fusion all right when
other parties fuse with them, but when the
boot is on the other leg, as in Ohio, and
parties fuse to overthrow corruption and in
capacity, it is fearful thing, and if they are
to be believed, viii result in dissolution o
the Union. Let the Republican party o.
Pennsylva take heart, and another elec
ton will find them victorious.

Wear Your Boards.

The following paragraph is strong argu-
ment in favor o. men wearing their boards
at least upon their glands and throat:
The New York Observer says the officers
and crew of tie North Star, Arctic ship,now
in Sheerness, have suffered the privation of
two winters, Of six months each, total dark
ness, with the thermometer b6 % below the
freezing point. They have been without
single human being to associate with except
their own little company for period of two
years and a half. During the whole period
the officers and crew ceased to use a razor,
merely scissors-cutting and trimming their
faces and heads-and there has not been one
solitary case of liberated or sore throat among
them. Until within week, the razor was
only known by name in the ship, and strange
to say, Immediately after the faces lost their
warm clothing several found that the cold
took effect on their throats. Not single
man or officer has been lost from sickness.
