Never Surrender.

Some Republicans who want to cover up thei
weakness in Ohio, and retain their hold upon the
peoples pockets, are very anxious TO have the
Democratic party surrender all its forces to Black
Republicanism. The only editor in the State who
claims 10 be Democratic that favor this cowa dly
surrender Of principle and the dearest interests of
the people, is Gray, ofthc Cleveland Plain Dealer
Gray would be to the Democratic party what
Hull wns to the brave men under his command ;
but had he the power TO surrender the party he
would find an exceedingly great army of Casscs
who would break their swords before they would
without struggle deliver them to the enemy
When the decks of the BOnhomme Richard, un-
der command of the immortal PAUL JoNEs was
flowing with blood, her mast Torn away, aud the
ship on fire her gallant commander was asked il
he would surrender, and high above the din o
battle rung forth hi4 memorable words, eve han
not Jegun 10 fight get" If we have any cowartly
Hulls in our ranks let them go the enemy, anc
along the whole column Of the Union Democracy
who arc Union men for the sake of the Union

of the gallant JONES be passed ave have no

Greatly VeXcta.

Some Republicans are terribly indignant that
the Democracy Of Ohio have the presumption to
hold State Convention. They seem to think
that Democrats have no rights which Republicans
are bound to respect. They tell us there must be
but one party now What they mean by one par.
ty Is that there iA no party but the Republican
party. This is evident since they turn all Demo
Gratis out Of office and place none but Republicans
in The principles upon which the Republican
party was organized, are clearly inconsistent with
the xisence of Union OF States, constituted as
was ours by our forciathcrs. 1t was based upon
declared hostility to nearly one.half the States of
the Union 1t was intended, by the men who or.
ganzcd it, to force change in state institutions,
or to divide the Union, How well they have sue
ceeded, each person can determine. 1t now stands
the Union Democracy to rally to the rescue of
the Constitution and the Union, and make one
grand effort to reunite the people, establish bar.
mony, fraternity, and Union.

The Way to do II.

While conservative men, most of them Demo
crats are in the field fighting Southern traitors the
traitors and disunionists at home must not be ne
elected. The abolition disunionists are constant
" fring the Southerners to desparaton and by
their threats discriminating slavery, driving of
men in the South who would otherwise be for tho
Union The Resolutions of OWEN LovEJoY, sup
ported in Congress by GO Republican votes, will
cause tho death Of manyu gallant soldier, aud do
the cause Of the Union more harm than ten vic
tories on tho field would repair. Those who vot ed
with LovEJoy arc as base traitors as DAVIS and
TooMBs and rs much deserving of punishment as
they. The Northern dsunionists have not placed
themselves in position to be punished by the bul.
let but it is the imperative duty ofevcry lover of
his country to meet them with the ballot and
thoroughly crush them out. This is what the De.
mocracy propose to do at the fall elections and
every man who values the peace and prosperity of
the country should aid in the good work.

have we seen? Why, in less than three
months /; is fact that these purists who
support the Administration of Lincoln

the 4th of March-Republican papers

has beena regular carnival of corruption,

seen in that line. The conduct OF the

their political opponents, While oppo-

The Attitude OF the Democratic
Party.

Time always vindicates the wisdom o
the policy of the Democratic party anC
of its administration. 1t was done so il
than usual emphasis. For years and
years it warned the country that this
eternal agitation of the slavery queS ion
if not stopped, would bring the greatest
calamitics upon MS; that it would lead tc
n divided Union aud civil war between
the sections; to national and individual
bankruptcy; to personal aud political ruin
1t plead with its political opponents
North, with the mad fanatics of til,
South. to forbear, to stay their hands, tC
stop what they called their 'irreprcssiplC
conflict" for the good of tho country
Their appeals were spurned, Their war
nings were dSregarded. Wo were
told by tho Republican Statesmen that
the agitation could go on; that it did not
endanger tho Union; that scctioaI
triumph would produce no mischief; that
in case they were successful, all would sc
on as gaily as "marriaGe bell" The
people Tor once listened to their siren
soothing voice. and installed them in
power. We We uld like to have seen the
Democratic prediction proven false, we
had million times rather that they
have had tho name of false prophets,
than to have seen our country in its pre-
sent lamentable condition. But all the
worst fears of the Democrats, all their
worst predictions, have boen more that
realized, Look at ihe condition Of the
country-look at its preSent--suryey its
inture. For all the evils, present and
prospective, the Democratic party is
guiltlesss, as it lifted up its voice an
iarncd the pc Pile of them. Had the
Democratic policy not been departed
from, had it's wise counsels been listened
to, we should have been to-day happy
and united people, and prosperity would
have smiled npon the land. The no n.
ocrats advised that the slavery question
be let alone; that the compromises of the
Constitution in favor of the institution
be adhered to with strict fidelity. Its
strong common sense enable it to perceive
that this great country could only be
saved by compromise and Cancellation
OF all the various interests, and that as
long as nearly one half OF the States
were slavcholding, it was egregious folly
10 suppose that our General Govern meni
eonld pursue an anti.slavery conrss
without the greatest troubles aud disas,
te's to the whole political and social fab
rlc, Our opponents believed otherwise
Wo give them credit, at least the mas
ses, for honesty; but, OIL how terrible
have, they been misled by demogogue,
and political idiots to the brink Of des
truction,

tion was also instrumental in causing tho

when Will There be but One
Party!

There will DO but one party when all
become advocates of a Constitutional I'm
ion: when tn, doct,ine of Stae Rights is
believed and practiced; when equal rights
in the common property of the govern
ment are acknowledged and accorded; /;
when a contest for sectional supremacy
is looked upon as illegal and unjust;
when the execution of the laws is left to
the constitutional authorities when pri-
vate opinion ceacss to array itself in resist
ance TO the operations of public law, when
other qualifications for filling high places
in the government are reuqired besides a
family connection with those who have
the power of appointment: when those
who have undertaken a war, for the vim
dication of law, shall themselves become
law abiding; when all ideas Of removing
power from the people and investing it
in strong central government shall be
abandoned; when all those great doctrines
enunciated and practiced by the Demo-
cratic party shall be universally held, then
indeed, there will be but one party, and
that one will be the Democratic party
If abolitonsts desire to see this war
converted into one Of steal;n1 negroes they
had better join the army without any far
ther delay. The government has waited
long enough for the "Western Reserve" "
If the object is to steal private property
and not to fight to protect the Constitu
ton and enforce the lars, different kind
of soldiers than those now in the army
must be sent for Crisis.

Moderate Dennnds.

The Democracy have always maintained that
the election Of sectional President, on sectional
issues, would lead to disastrous results Never.
theless the people concluded to try the expert
ment and they are now reaping the bitter fruits of
it. The Republicans, however, have concluded
to nationalze their party by taking all the offices,
having the Democracy sacrifice their principles and
adopt theirs and by killing OF all who will not nc
cede to these moderate demands. These things
