We have just passed through exciting contest and
after the smoke of the battle has passed away we are again
proud you that glorious a Of Free
dom still in victory over Ohio. We have achieved
splendid triumph We have carried the State by twenty
five Thousand majority. We have demonstrated that we
have Republicans than the combined forces Of our
opponents. We have expressed condemnation of the
policy of the Slave Democracy in terms which cannot be
misunderstood. The great central State of the Confedera-
ey has nobly responded to the East and the West-o
Maine and to Iowa Her millions OF freemen have vim
dcaed the policy of Jefferson and the Fathers of the Re-
public and have again, in thunder tones pronounced
against the policy of slavery extension, and the brutal
murderOus conduct which has characterized the present
National Administration in the Territory of Kansas.
But the contest through which have Just passed. is
but the prelude to the great struggle for freedom and the
right which is to be decided by the American people on
the fourth of November next. We then elect President
the chief Executive of this great nation Weare then
to determine who shall rule us and destiny or
four years to is not purpose here to discuss
the great vital questions that are involved in this cleo
ton. We simply desire to to the Republicans OF Ohio
