The smoke of battle has not yet. fully clear
ed away, yet we can see enough to Justify a
shout Of victory? Pennsylvania, the Keystone
State, and Indiana the Hoosier State, have been
true to the Democracy and the Union
Ohio, he*eeer has been untrue by a plurality
ranging but little from that df Chase, in 1855.
The Republicans have elected their State tick
Iet, and, as in 1865, only, by a minority Of the
votes cast at the election, as the vote of the
democratic and American parties combined,
exceed that>of the Republican party. Yet we
have much reason for self praise at the result in
thas State, for, although we have lost our State
ticket, we have elected our candidates fer Rep
resentatives in eight Congressional Districts
all gains-and in three other Districts an aggro-
gate Of five hundred Democratic votes in addi-
ton to those given, would have increased our
ntniber Of Representatives in Congress- to q ma
i jority in the Congressional delegation from
Ohio, 4Jsia 2ai fAa''s 5"i ~
It through our members of Congress that
our principles are known. The members cleo
ted in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio, change
the political completion Of the next House Of
Representatives iii Congress. Then we say, as
we have contributed 50 largely in making out
this important result, we can properly claim for
our success in Ohio, victory. The hundred
thousand majority pledged at the Republican
National Convention has shrunken until it has
become a mere shadow. ,,'.~s1g .8....,s,, B..
Our State Ticket should have been electod.-
But the unprecedented majorities in Rcpubl =
can counties hays. determined the result against
US Our vote is larger than eyer polled by us
before, yet, we are in the minority this leads us
to enquire into some of the causes Of our de-
feat.
=, We have good reason to believe that the vote
of the State has been augmented by importa-
tions from abroad by our opponents, and by ev-i
cry other other instrumentality. a reckless enemy
could devise even negroes,--black as darkness
have, i'm Republican localities, been permitted to
vote, in defiance of the Constitution and laws Of
the State.
M, we do not feel at all DISCOURAGED by our want
Of success, on the contrary feel that Ohio will
give her ELECTORAL vote for the Standard bearers
of the Democracy, We, cannot believe that
this great State, the first bornof the giGof yir4
,ginia to freed0mcan be So ungrateful as to de-
sire to snap asunder the chords Of blood, aeont-
guilty and interest, which bind them together.

and Breckenridge will be the next President.
