A Washington correspondent of a
Black Republican sheet says :-"Col.
MEDARY, Hditor of the Ohio Statesman,
Douglass 0rgda, is here, endeavoring
to get the. Post Master Generalship, UNI
der Bucha4an. He is urged by Doug
las with much zeal"
We are Aecidedly in favor Of Ohio,
receiving some consideration at the
hands of Mr.. Buchanan, and believe
that, from 1mong the great and good
men of our State, he can select as tai
ented, efficient, and reliable Cabinet ad-
wiser, as from those of any other State
in the e~onfederacy. We nave a PAINE,
a MEDARYxa disney, a VALLANDIG-
HAM, a SWEEPER, an OLDs, a MED1LL,
and a host of Others, the appointment of
either one Of whom would be a compli-
ment and honor to the Ohio Democracy,
merited anddeserved. If Col. MEDIA
RY should be selected as Post Master
| General, under Mr.. buchanan, that i'm
portant brateh of Governmental service,
would haven't Its head, a man of stern
political irresistible energy
and enterpfise, and the 6utTes moalaIe
discharged with honor to the head of
the Department, the Administration, and
The satisfaction ofthe psopls ofthe whole
country.
The idea which seems to pervade the
minds of the Htick-heddcd Black Repub-
lican scribbIers fer Freedom Shrieking
sheets about the Statesman being Doug
lass organ" is silly and contemplate !!
That paper, now as heretofore, is the
central organ of the One Hundred and
Seventy Thousand Democrats of the
| Ohio Constitutional Army, who know
no North, no South, no last, no West,
no man, but measures, and who march
under the banner of the Constitution,
and keep step to the music Of the Union.
The organ of that army of State Rights
Democrats, who have their preferences
before a nomination, but who wheel into
line under the chosen leader, and for
getful of past differences in favor of
men, contend for principles represented
by their leader, whoever he may be, 60
ing where democratic principles point
the way-when they cease to lead, the
Ohio democracy ceases to follow.
The "iStctesaao11" is the organ of no
man, and it is a libel upon its veteran
editor to make such an insertion. 1t is
the organ Of the Ohio Democracy, and
no journal in the nation did better ser
vice during the last campaign, than did
the "Statesman" under the old wheel
horse, Col. Medary. We know of no
Douglas organs in Ohio, among the
Democratic Press. They were mostly
Buchanan organs prior to the Conven-
ton, were unanimously such during the
campaign, and viii undoubtedly remain
so for four years to come. The idea of
a dirisioa existing among the Democrat
ic party of Ohio, is entertained by none
but unscrmPu+ous; Freedom Shriekfas,
Treason advocating sheets, or their vile
| correspondents, in whose hearts the
wish is father to the thought! We be-
lieve, if ever the Democracy Of Ohio
we're a unit, they arc so at this time; and
if we may judge the feelings of the resi-
due of the Democratic party by our own
we should say, this is "the era of good
feeling!''
The result of the last campasgn, was
a gloriona ~victoro for the admirers OF
both Mr.. Buchanan and Mr. Douglas,
and is SO regarded we believe. by every
Democrat in Ohio. We are aware that
efforts have been, and are still making,
to create the impression that there ex-
lists a difficulty among those Democrats
- nI.z - .-o,o r,-o-ohlo 70 M R,
chanan and those who favored Mr.. Doug
las as the Democratic candidate in the
last campaign. If such is the case, we
know nothing of its rise and progress.
Every Democratic paper in the State,
did good service in the last contest, and
among those ~fercest and foremost in
the conflict, were the editors who favored
Mr.. Douglas nomination, The ''Dem-
ocratic Citizen, was the first paper in the
State, we believe, which advocated Mr..
B~uchanan's nomination, and If we live
to see Mr.. Douglas nominated to the
Presidency, which rs hope to do, shall
give him as jealous and hearty support.
as his friends in Ohio did Mr.. Buchan-
an. No Democrat can do more, no one
should do less! But what's the use OF
talking, this division among the Ohio
Democracy exists in the same place as
many Of the horrible outrages in Kan
sas did, during the last campaign, in the
diseased Imagination Of the Black Re
publican editors and scribblers, and is
produced by the same cause, a certainty
of defeat at the next State election, un-
less some desperate remedy shouldprove
a panacea, and as the one most available
at this time, the idea of a dirision is
propagated, in the hope that it may pro
duce such an object and accomplish the
desirable result. The Ohio Democracy
before a nomination may be distinct as
the waves" but after a nomination, they
