The Ohio and Indiana Elections.

The unfayorable results Of the election in
Ohio and Indiana are in accordance with
the apprebensions we have felt for a month
past. The enormous drain Of strait Union
men to fill the acquisitions fir 100000 sol
dieis, weakned tbe Union party SO seriously
is 0 leave the opposition party in major
ity il those States. In many counties one
half IF The Republicans have gone to the
ar nv, while IN the same counties not a
tenth part Of the Democrats have vonn-
tered. There has been a widespread,
syetematic ard Jealous effort on be alt Of
tic Tory leaders who oppose tho war, to
dissuade the rank and file oftho party from
enlsling, hich his. in large measure
been successful, especially under the ! te
calls. They keep them at home to vote
and seize upon the seats il Congress, in
tie absence Of tile patriotic freeman in the
field batting for tlIsir country.
The net loss to the war party vote in
Obio has not been less tran 10000 men,
and in Imliana 10000. That theunc n4i-
tional Union men should, under these cir
cnnstances, be wo,stsd at the polls, need
na be a matter u surprise. II the soldiers
from those States had been allowed 10 vote,
not Il single tory would have been elected
+ Congress. The Unionists would have
male 4 clear sweep. This Statement Is
shown to be true by the i salt ia iowa.
In that State the soldiers were permitted to
take paitin the election, and behold the re-
suit The Union men have elected tie entire
delegation. Not a tory came within sight
81 success. Like causes prodace like results

tons Of small office holders, should BE Is
promptly and as cffectualIy met and
thwarted as was the endeayor 70 enforce
the Infamous sedition laws in the admlHs-
liation OF the elder Adams.
Res0lved, That we will sustain the al
ministrtion IN all legal and constitutional
measures TO suppress the rebellion, 70 pre-
serve tie government and to perpetuate
the Union.
Above are ali the resolutions nothing
changed or left out. 1t VIII lie observed
that tie resolutions contain not loyal
s.nli,n,ut, except that the closing one APP
pears 70 sanction the administration ain all
legal and constitutional measures to sup
press the rebellion, TO preserve the govern
ment and 70 perpetuate the union" But.
mind YOU reader, just about every act Of
the administration Is called unconstitution-
II; co-erring and suljugating tie South
arc unconditional measures; the confisca-
ton act is constitutional; the act pFovid-
ing for the union army to subsist opon the
enemy is unconstitutional; the taking Of
persons for reasonable language and writ
ing reasonable letters and sending them
to Ft Lafayette is unconstitutional; it is
unconstitutional to use the niggers to carry
on the war for the union unconstitutional
to take them from the rebels or prevent
them from raising produce t. feel the
rebels; The Presidents Proclamation free
ing he slaves Of rebels after the first OF
January is terribly unconstitutional; it is
unconstitutional to suspend the ha5eas
corpus; the democratic members Of Com
gres5 held it to be unconstitutional To levy
Il tax to carry on the war, or resort to any
m ans whatever to borrow money, to is
she government unconstitutional 10
do anything &c save the union; it is IN
constitutional to raise men hy draft TO
faht the rebels, unconstitutional to raise
men ny any ne@nN ahc utc3hstlutohal 70
pay them. Ia very short, the war 70 save
the union Is All unconstitutional while the
rebel val 10 destroy the union is not par
ticulatly unconstitutional.
It viii be seen that III The above resolu-
6ohs, no censufe is pronounced upon trail
tors il arms, and not word Of objection
to Jeff Davis nor tic rebels. Not word
IS uttered againt any tut the al olitionsts
Who are called the "Deddliest fees Of tie
Repnbfc' In these resolutions the sulr
preston Of reasonable Northern newspa-
pers j, condemned and any attack upon
lie liberty 70 speak, write or print treason
IS Condemned and as I'll Northern traitors
call themselves democrats, any attempt 10
interfere with them is alleged to le ''sus-
eading lie constitution AMI attacking
democracy
In all the above resolutions there is not
a word or sentence hich JEFF Davis would
condemn. ard scarcely a sentence which
any loyal man could approve. We come
mend a careful reading Of them to the
loyal democrats Of Grant county.

BeeioEH and Tafion.

Last week we visited our venerable

On satur ay morning, with friend

Block. We went up 10 Taiton, seven miles
north from Beetown. Here schools and
learning are chief objects and 10 turn they
are chief supporters Of the place; many
families come here to live with view OF
schooling their children at 7aftoa Semi
nary, anu many students are boarding here
from the country A number Of farmers
have erected small tenenents ut Tafton
which they expect TO occupy part Of the
time this year aud future years while
schooling their children. There are sever
al good stores at Taiton. Tho Tqftoa

II properly conducted these mills should
attract wide country trade to Tafton.
Mr.. j. G. Trainers wagon.plow and ma

Perhaps these shops attract more persons
from tie country and from 9 greater dis
lance and bring more trade to the place
than Seminary, Nils and Stores combined.
