RLrCBLlcAN STATE Cen COMMITTEE RooMl
Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 13, 1856.
We have just passed through an excl
ting contest and, after the smoke of the
battle passed away, we are again proud |
to announce to you that our glorious flag
of Freedom still waves in victory over
Ohio. We have achieved splendid tri
umph. We have carried the State by
twenty thousand majority. We have
demonstrated that we have more Repub-
licans than the combined forces Of our op
Ponents. We have expressed our con-
demnation of the policy of the Slave De.
mocracy, in terms which cannot be mis-
understood. The great central State Of
the Confedera'y has nobly responded to
the East and to the West-to Maine and
Iowa. Her two millions of Freemen have
vindicated the policy ofJeferson and the
Fathers Of the Republic, and have again,
in thunder tones, pronounced against the
policy OF slave extension, and the brutal,
murderous conduct which has character
lied the present National Administration
in the Territory Of Kansas.
But the contest through which we have
ust passed is but prelude to the great
struggle for Freedom and the right, which
is to be decided by the American people
on Tuesday, the 4th of November next
We then elect President-the Chief Ex-
ecutive ofthis great nation. We are then
to determine who shall rule over US and
our destiny for four years to come. 1t is
not our purpose here to discuss the great
vital questions that are involved in this
election. We simply desire to say to the
Republicans of Ohio, that we have carried
the State and elected our ticket by a
large m majority, and that it is now our duty
10 prepare for the final struggle without a
moments delay Do not imagine that
our opponents will cease their efforts
They hope we will rest upon our laurels
and relax our efforts, and thus enable
them to triumph in November
Republicans of Ohio! as faithful watch
men, we call upon you to rally, and again
go forth to battle, and to victory. Our
gallant leader, JOHN C. FREMONT, is
worthy of our best and nobiest efforts
But the cause, of which he is the expo.
nent, and which, through him, we hope
to re-inaugurate as the settled policy o
the Republic, is far greater, nobler, ano
more worthy of our labors, than any Of
all the men that are now aspiring for the
Presidency. That cause must again pre-
val. Each freeman owes to it his labo
and his means. Iffreedom is better thar
slavery; if free schools, free speech,
free press, are better than ignorance, ser
Witty and barbaiism; then is our caus.
worthy your ardent and continued effort
: from this time till the day of election
To the County Committees we woult
say, keep up your organizations hol(
township and school district meetings

properly distributed You know you
weak places; strengthen yourl lines, perlec
the details of your system of operations
see that every voter is at the polls, am

ticket remit no reasonable effort to in
crease the vote Of your counties, and adj
your mite to the swelling tide which, wit
proper effort, is 10 give the electoral vot
of Ohio to Fremont and Dayton by fort
thousand majority.
Repu ublicans; friends of the Constitu
ton, of the Union, of free territory an

Maine to Iowa are now shouting owe
