s. The Contest In Ohio.,' The Washing
| G ton Union. Ht III
| We are watching the South-guller of the
Washington Union, and now publish from
that print, for future reference the following
extract of an article under the above head
which appeared in its issue Of yesterday, viz:
g The October election is of vast importance,
| not only as influencing the character Of the next
j Congress- but also In view of the influence which
| il will have upon the Presidential election. Until
recently we have entertained little or no hope of
carrying Ohio, but since the Democracy have en-
tered the fight with such spirit and determination,
| we have very strong hopes indeed we think 1t
certain that If the tide rolls until November at
the pace it has now the State beyond all question
win go for Buchanan by a large majority"
| In the above extract 1t will be seen that the
| Washington Union :. has strong hopes" Of
| Ohio, and indeed "thinks it certain if the tide
rolls on, &C., &C., that State win beyond all
question go for Buchanan by large majority"
That press "thinks" no such thing has no
such calculations, and after the elections arc
over it will s,oear it never dreamed of carrying
Ohio, just as it declared in regard to Mainel
| In another article in the same issue, yester-
,day,) under the head, /" A aoord as TO passing
events, that press makes calculation, wholly
emitting Ohio, and sclaims the following free
States as certain, but, Of which, sold Squat
ter Sovereign" will not get more than one, if
even that onel The Union says:
"The count which we make for November
therefore, is that Mr.. Buchanan win certainly get

slaveholding States, and 100 Southern votes. This
sums up total strength of one hundred and egh-
| ty-three. Our friends in New Hampshire, Connec-
ticut, New York, and Ohio, are fighting with such
earnest zeal, that we feel assured we have prob
ability of gaining some O them.
ssUpon the whole, we do not believe that single
doubt need be felt of the result. No matter what
may be the Juror and fanaticism of the Black Re-
publicans -their bribery, their murders, their
falsehoods, their atrocious attempts Of every kind
at keeping up excitement-we oppose, at all
points, to this system OF fire, blood, and deceit,
! enthusiasm that never flags, courage that will not
yield-a settled, fixed and determined viii to con-
quer--a deep conviction that the fate of this re-
| public is staked upon our efforts, and that the
blessing of our Diuine Master, who holds in his

press claims the whole 100 electoral votes of
the South And 80 Delaware, Maryland,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Florida &c.
| &C., are all going for sold Squatter Sover-
eign," are they'
On what ground this sham Democracy can
dare claim "the Blessing Of oar Dioine Mas
ter" when they have knowingly, purposely,
and wickedly plunged the country into the
difficulties and troubles which now environ it,
we can't undertake to conjecture. 1t will not
be denied that, the time has long since arrived
when every mothers son of them ought to have
| been praying for mercy upon their knees but
| if there be any truth in the teachings of the
Scripture, that the prayers Of thewicked aooa
not, they have less to hope from the blessing
Of heaven, than from their own poor, feeble,
unavailing efforts They have not begun in
the right place" Repentance and Reforma
ton must precede forgiveness and blessings
! "A deep conviction that the fate of the Repub-
lie is staked upon Our (sham Democratic) effortsl"
| Indeed2 You ought to feel "a deep con-
viction" that you have "staked the Union /"
upon the success Of your party, in reck
less and wicked contest for the loayes and
fishes You ought to feel :" a deep conviction "
that you have plunged the Union into dangers
of an alarming character, in scramble for
spoils and plundera You came into power in
1852, amid peace, quiet, and prosperity. You
broke down the Union party in less than a
year, by prescribing Union-loving men, and
| by bestowing the posts of trust, profit, power,
and honor, upon ultraists-upon Northern and
Southern disunonists
You introduced dissensons into the Nation
al Councils and sowed discord broadcast over
the land, in a base, miserable, and unpatriotic
attempt to retain power, by creating issues that
had been healed in 1850, in the adoption of
measures which all honest Wings and Demo
Gratis pronounced finality 1" And you
have now the impudence to ask the country
to perpetuate your mischievous dynasty, and
the efirontery to ask Heaoea. for its blessings"
upon your waywardness Is all shame ban
ished from the ranks of your party9 You
can save the Union which YOU have imperilled
can you? You can demolish that danger
Gus Republican party which your own reck
lessness created--can youf You did 1t in
Iowadidn't you' You did it in Maine
didn't you' And you will do it precisely
after the same fashion in whatever State you
have single-handed contest at the North.
