where do we stand wow.

A cotemporary very foreibly remarks
that less than one year ago and the Dem
oeratie party were surrounded by the clouds
and storms of disaster. State after State
were swept into the crater of the midnight
order; deserter after deserter fed the strick-
Ell field; and more than one stout heart
quailed before the terrible fire of the hid
en- and treacherous foe. But. the flag of
the Constitution foated proudly at the
head of the decimated yet dauntless DEM
ocratic column. Patiently and steadily
the ground was maintained; gradually our
lost position was recovered; and now we
re-occupy the feldin greater strength than
ever. Phe enemy, lately so flushed with
triumph, and SO sure of permanent ascen-
dency, clamor of a postponment of pre-
paratons, and in their hot haste to escape
the fire OF the reorganized and CONSOLIDATE
ed Democracy, abandon the camp equi-
page, their masks, their follies, their ma
chinery of oaths, and the whole parapher-
MALTA of their nlAlnight orgies.
Such is the position of the Democratic
party nova signal, evidence of the re-
ward which compensates conscientious
adherence to a just cause through good and
through evil report; satire upon the
fears and prophesies of those feeble spirits
who thought the Democracy oyerthrown,
because fanaticism had found q new ex-
cuse for violence, and demagogues new
pretext for clamor TRANQUIL Dem.

ConteStiEsg cir. OgEe's Election.
Ever since the election the Clique, here,
have been declaring that they intended 10
contest the election of Mr.. OGLE to. the
aegislatnrc. They claim that he, at the
time Of his election, was q post master,
and that the constitution of Ohio makes
such, an officer ineligible to the legisla
.ture. Unfortunately for this honorable
movement, Mr.. .0aLE, as we are informed,
resigned his Office MS post master previous
to the election. What the Consequences
would have been in case he had not re
signed, it matters not now; but the al
temptis highly'creditable to the projectors
of it. The people on the 9th of October
rejected the Ciiqae's candidates, and now
they would endeavor to force. one Of them

ipressed wishes. IF the ground. of con
test had been the casting of Illegal votes,
we would have said to it; but when
il is because the officer elect has charge
of little post Office which does not half
pay for the troublefof attending it, and
which he attends to merely to accemme-
date his neighbors, it looks like getting a
little lower than we expected even the
Clique to stoop to contest his election.
-Itwould be to make miserable techni-
