The smoke of battle has yet fully cleared away vet
enough to justify shout of victory Peunsy
vania the Keystone State and Indiana the Hooser State
have been true to the democracy and the Union.
Ohio however has been untrue by plurality ranging
but little from that of Chase in 1885, The republicans
have elected their State ticket and in 1855 only BY
minority of the votes cast at the election the vote Of the
democratic and American parties combined exceeds that of
the republican party Yet have much for self
praise the result in this State for although have lost

sentatves in eight congressional dstricsAl gainsand
in three other districts aggregate of five hundred demo-
cratic votes in addition to those given would have in.
creased number of in Congress to ma
jority in the congressional delegation from Ohio.
1t is through members Of Congress that princ
Piles known. The members elected in Pennsylvania
Indiana and Ohio change the political complexion of the
next House of Representatives in Congress Then say
have contributed largely in making this i'm
portan result properly claim for success in
Ohio victory. The hundred thousand majority pledged
the Republican National Convention has shrunken until
it has become a mere shadow. a.....
Our State ticket should have been elected But the un-
precedented majoriue in republican counties have deter
mined the result against Our vote is larger than ever
poed by before yet in the minority This leads
to inquire into of the causes of our defeat
We have good TO believe that the vote of the State
has been augmented by importaons from abroad by our
opponents and by every other instrument reckless
enemy could deviseeven negroes black darkness have
in republican localities been permitted vote in defiance
of the constitution and laws Of the State
We do feel all discouraged by eur want Of suecess
the contrary feel that Ohio will give her electoral vote
for the sandardbesrers Of the democracy We cannot be-
eve that this great State the rsborn of the gift Of Viz
gna freedom be ungratefu as to desire 10 snap
asunder the chords of blood, contguity, and interest
which bind them together.
1t is now clearly demonstrated that Buchanan and
Breckenridge win be the President and Vice President
of the epublcthe decree has gone forth On Tuesday
last the people in their sovereignty pronounced the rrero
cable doom OF repubcansm decided against discord and
sectonalism, and in favor Of tho great democratic prnc
pie Of selfgoyernment and in favor Of the constitution
and Union as they
Republcanism has nothing more to struggle for-bs
blow has been given and 1t awaits only the ides of Novem-
Der to exhale its last expiring breath.
The electoral vote of Ohio will make no difference In the
result yet would have her join in the almost unani
nous determination of this important campaign.
Then to work, grid on your srmor do battle again for
the constitution and the Union complete your organza.

places Of the enemy You now know them do your duty
and success viii crown your efforts.
Democrats shall the night OF the fourth of November
permit to send electric spark to the confines Of the
nation, announcing that Ohio Is disenhralled-
rated that her free people have chosen freedom for the
white rather than freedom for the black race that her
voice is for unmutilated constitution an unbrokr
Union, and for the tried faithful ststesmanlike standard
