you to elect any one. They have
never ceased to regret that they
allowed Horatio Seymour to be

not permit the great States OF Ohio

ly contiguous to New York to pass
into Democratic control without a
superhuman effort to prevent. it.
| Great exertions, therefore, will be
necessary to secure Mr.. Vallaadig,

and thorough organization is
necessary. The present excite
ment in military affairs will be
used, as fer as possible, to damage
him: but if Ohio will not vindicate
the rights Of Free Speech upon
her soil, even amid revolution or

%recrcant to the great principles
that underlie our system of gov
