srecreant 10 the cardinal principles Of true
sepablicanism, and which had also made
unparalleled efforts 80 carry this particular
election. Before this election. il was gen.

not that this opinion will be verified BY the
event. The result in Ohio will have an

OF paramount importance. and which must

We commend them to the attention Of our
readers -
I'VE rejoice in this great victory which
the free men Of Ohio have achieved. Il
will do much TO strengthen the back bone
of the people Of the free States, and when
that is accomplished, when we can speak as
freely and a. boldly as the public men of
the Southern States, we shall come 10 4 cor
rec, understanding Of one another. The
time has come when good and honest IN
derstanding should be had, when the CUES
ton OF the safety and salvation OF the IN
ion" should be taken out Of the hands of
demagogue politicians and '.jubilant law
yers," and left with the people. The safety
Of this Union has been TOO long the theme Of
bogus patriots and scheming politicians. II
never WIS in less dsnger than il is to-day;
there never was any danger Of 1t since the
time that the old original thirteen States
met together in Congress and GEORGE
WAsHssToH was raised by the people to
the Presidency, even a. the waters OF the
food bore up the Ark Of Noah. God help
the Union when few brie6ess lawyers and
half crazed reporters are put forth a. its
representative defenders ia this great stall
worth commonwealth Of the Ohio.
The strength of this Union lies deep down
in the hearts Of the people, as the roots and
fbres which give nourishment and equipoise
10 the oak she monarch Of the woods" lie
hid from public vision beneath the soil on
which il stands. This Union will survive
a. long a. free speech and free though, exist,
and free men I've within i.s limits. The
business Of Union saving every six months
has become contemplate. The ghos, of
disunion has been 20 often invoked and
made TO appear, that il frightens one less
than Z scarecrow in q cornfeld, or Puffy
| actor on the mimic stage.
A true Union man is he who respects the
rights which every State in the Union pos
scenes BY virtue Of the Constitution; who
respects and obeys the laws of the Union,
and BY his life and conduct gives TO them
| his support. The true Union man never At.
I tempts TO infringe upon the rights of his
neighbor, but his constant care 10 to intuse
q feeling OF kindness, good brotherhood,
| good fellowship between man and man and
State and State, and as q corroilary, who
maintains An independent position, know 8
and maintains his own rights, and owns no
superior, and who will stand up for his ow n
rights and the rights of his State, even
though the cup of hemlock be pressed TO his
lips, or the forked lightning dart athwars
