The following, which we clip from a
letter written by the editor of the Ohio
State journal, dated Oct. 18th, speaks for
itself. tbs just about what we intended
to write ourself, but seeing this, concluded
to save our time for something else:
1t is conceded on all sides, here, that the
Republican State Ticket, with the excep-
lion of sir. Blickensderfer, has been elect
will preside over the executive depart
ment of the State government for two
years more. This is. glory enough, and
well repays whatever of labor we have ex-
pended in the canvass Now that the
conflict is over and the victory WOE, and
calm reflection taken the place of partizan
excitement, the Republicans of Ohio have,
on the whole, great reason to be proud of
their victory. In the first place, the
smoke of the presidential election had
hardly passed of. and the wreck of high
hopes ol victory in that great struggle had
noL been forgotten before the Sale canvass
in Ohio had begun. The National Ad-
ministration, with its boards of office hold
ers, it's immense patronage, and its deter
mined position on the side of slavery was
against US.
Then came the money pressure. Many
of our most active politicians had as much
as they could 10 to save their credit, and
navigate in safety their own affairs. The n
came The failure of tie banks, which our
untiring and vigilant opponents did not
fail in some way or other to identify the
Republicans with. Then we had the rob
bing of the State Treasury to mingle in
the canvass, and defeat our unity. Then
we had the foolish struggle in this city on
Mr.. Blickensderfer's nomination. Then
we had the negro suffrage question sprung
upon us, and the vulgar falsehovds about
amalgamation. And last though not least.
we had remarkable coldness TO encounl-
or in quarters where we expected to find
genial warmth. Yet, in spite of all these
things, which mingled and commingled
with the election, We have achieved most
noble and remarkable victory Governor
Chase come 10000 votes higher having a
majority of the votes of the Freemen of
Ohio, than even Fremont did in his can
vass last November. The Reserve counties,
which might have given five thousand
more votes than they did for the Republ-
can ticket, are to blame in part for not max
ing the majority for Governor base to be
counted by thousands instead of hun
dreds.
Outside of this county the Fillmore
men in great numbers voted for Payne
In Franklin county that vote was decided
| ly against US. Let US not com plain, but
hope that in the next State election they
will be found with the Republicans doing
good battle for freedom, free soil, and
sound conservative principles. | feel
great delight In being assured of this vic
tory. Our State administration, SO far as
the Executive departments are concerned,
will be in safe hands. AS for the Legis-
lature, the opposition wi find that they
have undertaken too large contract to
! bring sboI: 81 he rhsnghs--Te r;ll rot

call them reforms---which they have prom
ised The people they would do. They viii
lind that l. will be very difficult to satisfy
the people that collecting taxes in specie,
and breaking down our banking system,
are just the measures Of reform that they
will be satisfied with. But it is not prof
table 10 discuss events yet to be; let us
peak only Of tie present. Every Repub-
lean will be- satisfied that our State ticket
has been elected. So let us rejoice with
those WHO rejoice.
In this great mart OF trade and manufac-
lures. every one is complaining of hard
lines, OF tie yIullnes- Of business and the
want Of currency. No bank here thinks OF
discounting any paper, however good it
may be; they have enough 10 sustain them
selves against the carpet bag cormorants,
who drain them OF their specie for the
merest pecmia,y benefit. Like men WHO
grow rich in tie midst of famine. 10 do
these brokers-who, like the lilies Of the
valley. toll not, neither do they spn-grow
rich upon the manufactures OF worthy men.
There is no money here to speak of, and
what is little remarkable, there has been
comparatively but few failures. which
speaks well for the mercantile honor and
ability Of this great city.

The elections are over, and the votes
counted. If we should attempt to deceive
our readers in regard to the result. it could
do ne no good, but great harm because
they would soon ascertain the truth, and
then confidence in our statements would
BE- lost. II, therefore. we do not give the
rssul, correctly. the fault will not be ours;
for We intend to give our readers the most
reliable information in our possession.
/. In Ohio. the Republican State ticket
ls elected with the exception Of Blick-
snsderter) by majorities ranging from one
% two thousand. The Legislature will
Be Democratic. The, Senate will probably
stand Democrats 90, Republ cans Is; the
House Of Representatives Democrats 81.
Republicans 45; giving the Opposition a
majority Of 81 on joint ballot. We have
10 means of knowing the precise number
Of votes cast ; but it will probably fall
60, 600 short Of the last Presidential cleo
tion--two-thirds of which lost vote is Re-
publican.
g. In Pennsylvania, the Democrats have
carried everything by increased majonties.
Their State ticket is elected by about As, 600
majority, and their majority on joint ballot
in the Legislature will be 38. The Re-
publican ard American vote was light
one.
5. In Indiana, two Congressman were
elected. In the Evansville district, there
Was but one candidate-Judge Niblack,
Democrat, who was of course, elected
In the other district, the Republican candi-
date was successful. Judge Petit. whom
Benton called "a great liar and dirty
dog" was candidate for Judge, and was
defeated. This is about all the news we
have from that State.
Z. In Kansas, the Republicans have car
ried the Legislature, and elected their del
sgate to Congress. This we regard as the
most important victory of the season.
5. w. have nothing definite from Iowa
or MINES ota; but the probability is thai
both have gone Democratic by small ma
jorities. However, we would not advise
Democrats to crow much yet. Future re-
turns may give both to the Republicans

Secondly-the progress and final course

structure of the tooth, from various causes; /;
and in different degrees of rapidity it pur-
sues its course Of destruction. One going
very slowly, continuing through many
years before the crown OF the tooth Is de-
stroyed. Another making rnpid desoia-
lions. destroying the entire crown of the
tooth in few months. Another which
it's vitality, or lie, leaving it in n ckally

Thirdly-the treatment of carries i

of the route, although in beauty enequal-
led. The only wny we can possibly ac-
count for this, is by supposing that to be
the region where the milk sickness pre-
aviled The lands on the Illinois Central
are rapidly filing up, and being placed
under cultivation. although the Company
have yet much choice lund for sale.
I What changes had taken place since we
visited that country seven years ago
Farms which we could have bought for
$5 an acre now sell for S45 to 800 pei
acre. Towns containing then few frame
houses, have grown TO cities. Farmers
and tradesmen who then counted their
means by dollars, now count by thousands
In fact, every time we go to that country
we get the western fever.
The truth is, we heard less Of the panic,
saw less poverty, more contentment, and
found more ease in money matters in Hi
nois than any where else. Illinois money
was taken there in preference TO any other
funds-it was considered as good as the
gold, and there seemed to be more conf
dence among business men there than we
found in Ohio.
We were surprised to find the corn crop
in Illinois looking SO poorly. lnquiring
the cause, we learned that they have been
"a: l.. .. 10
heavy rains here. We could scarnely be-
lieve that very little rain has fallen there
since July. Yet such is the fact.
But. not to be tedious, we returned by
way of Chicago, Fort Wayne. Bucyrus,
Crestline. Delaware, Springfield, Dayton
and Cincinnati thence home by steamer
Parkersburg, being absent nearly three
weeks.
