Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1863-11-04

to please the Cipci 0"f~'
In mbus C,i,is. We are not surprised AZ tnis,
bo,ever much We may regret the temper ana
.n,,,, of the replies Of those journals, to the
article referred 10.
poth these papers had been exceedingly busy
in attempting to prove TO the Democracy OF
Ohio and the "fest Of mankind" that our vote
was no. only magnificent, but greater than |!
cou,d have been made under any other circum-
a,snces; that Mr.. vALLAsDleHAM was the right
man in the right place In the campaign; and
0o,h asserted that We polled as larse avete as
,hsv expected, and that ii Was an indorsemsnt
of The peculiar peace views Of Mr.. VALLAEDre'
.,,,, v;z. THAT OUR ARMIES BE WITHDRAWN WITH
. r,w "a DISCUSS THE QUESTION OF REUNION.
D,fFsripe as We did with these papers as to
A.. availability Of Mr.. VALLANDIeHAM as can.
s,d.,s IN The late campaign, and feeling quite
certain that his peace policy Was not put in ia
~. {, ,be contest BY any act Of the party, how
a.., muob these two journals may have sought
without authority to give them prominence,
and knowing Of no reason why We should not
=. vell AZ they, offer our opinions as to the
s,goiacauce Of the late election, the article In
oueatIou was prepared and published by us'
n honest differences exist 90 TO the propriety
~ .ha nomination Of June IL, or as to the plat
form adopted, or the conduct OF the campaign
,bsI, discussion in proper temper, is not only
.dmissible bat lsudable. The editors OF the
R,o,i,.r and Csids appear to have thought
such course proper and regulated their con-
duct accordingly; bu. they do not propose to
allow any one else the same privilege as Is very
apparent fsom the weak and polntless article
Of the Enquis9 Of November 2, which is en-
do,,ed by, and transferred TO the coulmns Of
the Cyis;s, with some characteristic comments,
,b,sh are more remarkable for their misrep-
...a,tst,ous about personal matter, than for
any thing else.
We do no. propose to handy words With our
co,smroraries, or TO make rejoinder after the
manner Of the EaQSir~. We have not I'M
uescbea the motives Of either Of these papers,
and No shall not stop to defend our own when
men have no tenable ground to stand upon and
ara no. supplied with arguments, 90 In the case
Of tho Rsqsirr and Cribs, such course 10
frequently rssostsd 70, though Il is ct ell times
looked upon by sensible people 90 mark OF
weakness and departure from good breeding
The Eaasirw repeats and the Crisis endorses
.hs a.asrsIou, "thst The one hundred and eighty
6,s fssussad vsfss isAich DsSs SiUsa In Ohio for
No. vALIAupIaHAH, wers Sissn by those ,Oho
,,.rs. REs Ain, IN fsvor Of peace" This The
Enou,,u says "ws assume and shall believe
until The CONTRARY appears" The sTATEsnAH
bas dissented from this statement, as well as
from the other statement of the Enquirer that
Mr.. VAELANpisHAM was nominated because OF
tbeae views; and has declared that he was
nominated In spite Of bis peculiar Views,
and simply and solely because Of his arrest and
banIshment, acts Of outrage and wrong, In re-
lstIon 10 which hs had the sympathy Of every
Democrat In the State. Every Democrat In
Ohio Is in favor Of Peace and Union, but very
few think the policy TO attain these ends is
through the plan approvedb BY the Enquirer and
Crisis, which ID very generally regarded asim-
practicable. The withdrawal Of our armies ct
this time 10 thought to be separation complete
and fnal; because the military power Of the
Confederases would In that event put down and
crush out the last spark Of Uaion feeling that
may still lingef in the revolted States. II would
bs in our opinion only arriving ct disunion and
final separation, BY different road from that
proposed BY sunNxR, BUTLER, CHASE and others,
whose radical policy, looking not only to sub.
juRatiou, but conascatlon, emancipation, and
the like, must 80 mould and consolidate the
Southern people into one resisting power % to
render II impossible to conquer them, and the
end must not only be disunion, bat in addition
thereto, the destruction Of the North 90 well as
the South, would be efecluslly secured. The
former plan would avoid further waste and
destruction, and In this only does II differ from
the latter. cai
Now 90 10 the question OF fact about the
Issue Of che late contest on the part Of the
Democrscy. The Enquiry asserts and the
Cribs endorses the stAtement that the Is5. 600
votes which we're given in this State for Mr..
vALLANDIeHAM, were given by those who were
In favor Of bic peace policy. We assert that
the fact ia not so, and here We call in tsstl-
mouy. .
Hon. GEO. e. PUaH was called on in the Ab.
seres Of Mr.. vALLAEDIaHAM to respond to she
nomination Of the latter gentleman as the
Democratic candidate for Governor. On that
occasion he said:
Id,d NOT agree with Mr.. vAIIAxDIsDAM, and do not
row arree a 10 some questions Of policy expedienoy
connected with the civil war IN which We are no. en-
of peace by which difference with the people Of the
aohern States could be reconsiled or satisfactorily
adiueed, bat regard the alternative Of war or peace
a. the highest problem Of ststesmanshiP-s problem

fnsst upon libertg Of speech hf ~ ~
Immediately on closing the spsech in which
he uttered the foregoing sentiments, Mr.. PuGH
Was By scolamation and against his protessa-
lions nominated for orLieutenant- Governor. On
the same day, bus some. hours after Mr.. PUeH
was noninstsd, the Committee on Resolutions
made rsposs. and in all the resolnhons sub
mitssd BY Il and adopted by the Convention,
tbere ID not one word In approval Of Mr.. VAL
nAHpIoHAn's peace policy. E
