"Shall we have Party Contest this
FALL"
From the Pomeroy Telegraph
Notwithstanding the Republicans have q
large majority in Ohio, they have been de-
sirous OF avoiding partisan contest in the
coming. elections, lest it should be the means
OF dividing the sentiments of the people,
and thus weakening the hands of the Govern
ment in this hour Of the country's peril.
Every man who has mind enough to think,
must know that the struggle in which we
are now engaged is the most momentuous
in the onnals OF the human race. Never
before was there people SO favorably stu
ated for the establishment and maintenance
OF Free Institutions as those of these United
States. Never was intelligence so universally
diffused among the people Never had 50
perfect system OF government been institu
ted, and never had such unbounded pros
perity and happiness ensued.
| Ambitious men, for the qualification of
their selfish and unholy purposes, had, in
all other countries and in all other times.
managed, either by force or fraud, to usurp
the Government, and with the iron heel of
despotism, crush out the spirit of the peo-
pie, together with their liberty. But here,
for more than three quarters of century,
the people have maintained their freedom
in a good degree, against the craft of the
demagogues and the hopes Of the world
were centered in our experiment Thous-
ands of the worshippers at the shrine of lib
erty in other lands, seeing no hope of depos-
ing the oligarchies which trampled them in
the dust, sought an asylum under our Con-
stitution. As our progress became fact
confirmed, and our Free Institutions and
their results found their place in the world )
history, thrones trembled, and petty lords
paled before the dignity ofuntitled manhood.
Evidently such an example must lead to the
overturning of the worn-out, artificial un-
natural, and despotic Governments built
upon the idea of the right of naughty aris-
tocracies to revel upon the substance of the
toiling millions. flour Constitution can be
preserved-our liberties maintaiued-this
diabolical rebellion suppressed-th demon
hatehed conspiracy crushed out, the hopes
Of the philanthropist, the patriot, and the
