The Celebration ho-NiBhS
As has been announced, the Democrats
and other loyal citizens propose to cele-
brate tonight, over the overthrow of Abo-
litionism in this county, the "old" Third
District, and the State OF Ohio, which for
nine long years has been under Abolition
rule.
They have cause to rejoice and be
merry. For the first time since the com
mencement Of our troubles, light has
broken through the darkness which has
surrounded u.s. Day begins to dawn,
and hope grows stronger that the Republic
may yet be saved. When we reflect upon
the obstacles which halto be overcome, the
magnitude Of the victory is indeed appar-
ent. The entire power OF the Federal and
State Administrations and military
money and threats of employers--were
brought to bear against the people but
despite it all, they have risen in their might
and won the victory.
To-day ABRAHAM LNcoLN stands con
dcmned by the people of Ohio and India
na-to-doy DAVID TOP stands rebuked by
the people who elected him one year ago
to-day Abohtionism lies PROSTATE IN the
State where its yotaries fondly hoped 1t
had obtained power for all time to come,
To-day the shackles Of the white man
have been stricken Oh, the tongue has been
loosened, and the people hurl defiance
against those who would place them in
worse than negro bondage. The Con-
stitutiou has been sustained, and the rights
of the citizen maintained. Free speech
and free piess-speedy and impartial trials
all, all the rights of the citizen, have
been re-affirme,l, and hencefotth the peo-
pie of the Buckeye State, will indeed be
free and independent. No more bOstiles,
no more suppression OF newspapers, no
more mobs, no more threats, no more
suspension of the haJeas corpus, no morc
destruction of tine dearest rights OF the citi-
zen will DO permitted,
The word has gone forth 10 our errng
brethren Of the South, that the Northwest
has cast of sectional doctrines and section
al men, and hencefouh stands really to
freely grant all the rights which the Con-
stitution guarantees to them the North
west bids tho South return to the good old
times Of the past, and the glory and re-
nown and prosperity which was theirs
when tie Union was indeed bond OF
affection, AMI when the ensigR Of the Re
public waved triumphantly over the States
united
Rejoice, rejoice Such a triumph, oyel
such an enemy, and against such odds has
never before been achieved, But in YOU
reioicings remember that you are MEN
Keep clear of all acts which tend to de
grade mankind. You have tliumphed
and can afford to be generous AS W.
have not followed the political doctrines o
Abolitionism, SO let us not follow thei
example in acts which have disgrace
them. If they choose to wallow il
the cesspool of blsck-guardism-inSul
defenceless woman--indulge in languag
which insult the ears of decency, they bu
publish their own infamy Letno Demo
crat, nor other loyal Union man, descen
to such degradation. We can rejoice, an
rejoice heartily and with vigor-reioiee
a manner worthy Of the glorious victor
we have achieyed-without oyersteppin
the bounds of propriety, or indulging
words and acts which more disgrace Ihoj
who engage in thenl, than they ininre tho
