for this; although from the hard fight made
by the Ohio Democracy, we did not expect
to see them so badly whipped. But the
vast influence exercised by the Government,
through shoddy and beef contractors. and
green backs, was too much for unofficial
and unpurchasabe patriotism and the
voice Of these great States has been given in
support of all The errors aud iniquities of
the Lincoln administration. This expression
will be accepted by the Administration as a
Endorsement of the emancipation proc lama

conversion ofronquered States into military
