The Toledo Times replies to us in good
spirit. The editor AYERS a wish for the con-
tnued unity of the republican movement
provided the distinctive republicans don't
cro1cd The proviso is we'll put. Crowd
ing is all we complain Of. According to
the Times, the whole state ticket was "Ame-
rican,' except the governors to |, We
neither deny nor complain Of this, but what
evidence does it afford on the subject of
crowding? The name and the platform were
republican. The attempt to I" crowd" these
aside with Americanism' is what we OBJ
ject to. The doctrine with that label was
not in our platform, and we did not under
stand that we were voting for it. We are
republican and nothing else, while the Times
is perhaps American republican. That is
the difference. When we require prefix to
our repubicanism, it shall be liberal, not
local one.
As to the American strength here, with
which the Times menaces us, we are certain
ly uninformed and quite Indifferent. We
have health and disposition that prevent
dependence upon amy party for our living.
Our correspondent Palifer' proposes to
complete his series next week, when we may
have something to say upon the subject. We
think some of his statements are overdrawn
and need the support of evidence, as they
vary somewhat from the facts so far as our
>hcar II ;uo tr,, 10
sweeping assertions, but sometimes difficult
to fortify them with proof. A writer who
sets up as public censor, needs to observe
circumspection in his statements; and when
he connects the names of his fellow citizens
with oboquy and crime, it is important to
them to know who their assalant is. AS to
the scenes Of driving men like cattle, &c,
is our friend quite sure he has not mistaken
the 50 intense keenness of jealousy" for " the
heart of patriotism in his bosom? We
saw nothing that savorel of the i" driving"
of which he talks so fuently and view all
such rhetoric as the coinage of hea ted ina
gination, There may have been informallty
and fraud in the proceedings, and if so. it
should be exposed and punished. But the
men naturalized did not appear brutal, drunk
en-, nor inclined to evity. They seemed as
intelligent as an equal number of natives of
the same condition in life, though they may
not have possessed as much moral principle.
They appeared to be generally day laborers,
and seemed to act with general and pre-
concerted purpose. They were doubtless
advised and assisted by leading democrats,
and their votes were certainly the cause Of
the success Of the democratic county ticket
in both Lucas and Sandusky counties. There
was no failure about that
