OUR TRIUMPH.

It Is with the greatest satisfaction that
We announce the victory of SALMON p.
CHASE over his unscrupulous antagonist,
Henry B. PAYNE. This triumph is the
more gratifying because the Democracy
has made the robbery Of the Ohio State
Treasury Of three quarters of a million Of
dollars an issue against the Republicans,
on the ground that tho discovery Of this
robbery occurred during the administra-
ton Of Gov. CHAsEl The people have
responded to the charge, and decided that
the robbery was committed by the Loco
foco party Of Ohio. in the person of its
accredited agent, JoHN 6. BREsLIE, now
fugitive from justice in Canada.
To be sure, we have not as largo a ma
liority as we had last year or the year be-
fore, but when we take into consideration
the fact that Mr.. PAYNE has not received
as largo a vote as BUOHANAN's by over
20, 900, it leaves him no reason whatever
for taking credit to himself for the reduced
majority of Governor CHASE.
Under all tho unparalleled discourag
ing circumstances which the Republican
party of Ohio has labored under, if Mr.
lPAYEE had happened to have been elected
by the same majority that Governor Chasc
now has, it would still have been a triumph
for the latter, on the same principle tha
the fight Of Leonidas against horde o
countless Persians redounded TO the hon
or of tho immortal Greek OF that the bat
tie of Bunker Hill was an american vic
tory, although.tho British obtained posses
sion Of the battle field. .....
The Republican party entered the pres
ept canvass under the greatest disadvan
tages that an honest party can possibly Ia
Dor under. They have had to contenC
with tie elements, which kept thousand
f away from the polls in different parts o
the State, owing to the almost impassibl
condition Of tho roads, They have ha,
to contend with the feeling Of discourage
ment which tho financial reguision hao
cast over the spirits of over 10000 bust
uess men in this State, four.iilths Of whom
are Republicans. They have had to con
tend with the absolute power Of the Pop
of Rome, as exercised by his Bishops am
; Priests over their congregations OF votin
cattle, who turned out en B1aSSe and vote
tho democratic ticket in a solid phalauX
They have had to coRtend with the kuo,
Nothing party, who, in consideration Of
potion of the democratic ticket being con
7 posed ofmen beIongingto the order, vote
almost unanimously in favor Of it. The
have had to eonteud with the most unsorI
pu'ous and lying party that wasever know
lin history, almost every man of whor
T. from its leader. Ii. B. Payne, down to h
7. satellite, j, w. Ghay, has been engaged
o tho dirty business OF trying to hoodwir
}, the people with the ilea that Gov. Cha
s, was reSii,,oonsihlo for the defalcotion Of Il
!, Treasury, forsooth, because Gov. Med
" did not discover it before he retired fro
70 Office. In order to have this work dol
!, most thoroughly, the would.be GoyernC
J. according to his own admission, travel,
n. over 1900 miles since he was nominal,
retailing his roorbacks TO the people
'' Ohio-with what effect, the result of Il
election now tells the story. .oHF
o. Tho gallant Republicans of Ohio W
Y, feel the more encouraged to continue d
i contest until the Southern amalgamatic
Shareholders shall bo compelled TO Ike,
> slavery within itspresent limit, aud the
= Northern tools. tho Douglases, the Buc
r anans, the Gases, the Paynos and the M
h darys shall be buried in the gulf Of infan
. so deep that The hand of deeency will ne
er lift them up again, - Cleo. Leader.
