WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
OF ASHLA ID HAVE TO Do

Il is the mission of the Democratic
Party to redeem our once proud State
from the hands of the spoilers who have
dishonored her name at home and
abroad.
The issues b'fore the People were
never more broad aud distinct than 10
the present canvass. The question is,
whether this Republican party, with its
broken promises-its shameless malfea
sauce--its lax policy, which has thrown
wide open the doors of the Treasury to
multitude Of thieves, aud which pro
poses no tangible remedy against q re
currence of these abuses-whether this
party, under whose administration the
credit of the State, by it's meretriciou,
rnhnexion with Bankers aud Stock job.
bers, has become a bye word aud a re-
proach, shall be continued in power?-
The false pretences by which this party
obtained the votes that gave them as
cendancy, have been often aud clearly
demonstrated. Will q plundered and
betrayed People confde 10 them agaiu?
One who had once been convicted of n
glaring act of perfdy in the discharge OF
an ordinary business trust, would forfeit
the confidence, not on:y of the particu-
lar person whose interests had been
damaged, but of the whole community
Now, is the crime not as great-aye,
greater--of be,raying PUBLIC, than
PRIVATE TRUST We put this
question to those who THINK.
The Democratic Party appeal to the
interests. as we'll rs to the patriotism, Of
the people. 1t is tho duty of every
Democrat to show to his erriug neigh
Dor that the rights of two millions of
white people in Ohio are of more i'm.
portance than the claims to equality OF
some twenty Eve thousand Africans,
and of the mercenary demands of five or
six hundred Bankers, who, through Glib
son, Chase and others, have present con-
troll of the State Government.
1t is our duty to show, as We can by
appeals to the official record. that under
Democratic management the People
have reached their highest condition of
prosperity. and the State its highest
point of credit.
Il is also the duty Of Democrats to
point to the rotten Kelly dynasty of
Is4I-42, when the credit of Ohio was
sunk SO low that State Stocks were sa-
oriiced at fifty cents on the dollar-thus
compelling the taxpayers of Ohio to
either pay TWELVE PER CENT.
PER ANNUM on the money actually
realized to the Treasury, or to REPU-
DIATE THE DEBIT
It is the duty Of Democrats to refer
70 the fact that events have shown that
the administration of Chase, Gibson &
Co. is rapidly precipitating the honor and
srsdit OF Ohio into the same vortex that
the sams party fifteen yearssgo plunged
is, and that the restoration TO power of

NATIONAL HOTEL SICKNESS.

WASHINGTON, D. c. May Z, 1867.
The undersigned have been appointed a commit
tee by the Board of Health of Washington to com
munieate with residents of this city and persons
elsewhere, in order to procure, if possible further
authenticated information in regard 10 the malady
which recently prevailed at and was known as the
endemic Of the National Hotel" No fatal cases
have occurred in this community; but as vague and
unruthenticaed statements have reached us that
sons have died elsewhere from this cause we take
this as the only sure mode of calling upon physi-
clans and persons abroad to favor with statements
of the names and residences of the persons who
thus have died. We desire to obtain description
Of the course and symptoms Of their disease; the
opinion formed its origin and the reasons there
for the treatment adopted in the cases and the re-
suits of the post morton examinations or chemical
analyses Of the objections from the sick if any such
were made. As the guests Of that hotel are wide
cast over the land it is impossible for us to obtain
the names and residences Of their physicians, and
must therefore appeal to them through the public
press for the information desired. Their prompt
attention (by letter to the committed viii confer
great favor upon the Board of Health and this com
munity; and perhaps be Of great service in prOmot
ing the cause Of public health and medical science
