Excitement In Ohio.

The political excitement 10 Ohio has
reached a high pitch. A Cincinnati cor
respondent of the Chicago Times, writing
on Saturday, says:
AT Lebanon, yesterday, Us democratic
procession was moving through the streets,
republicans were insolent and threw stones.
The democracy rallied, and one republican
was shot dead. The excitement 10 Leb-
anon is very great and further bloodshed
is anticipated.
| At Deerield, to day, republican named
Thumb was shot by a democrat named Lu-
cae.
At Eaton. to day, a very large meeting
was held. One thousand ladies and gen.
tlemen were on horseback. As part of
the procession was passing the depot an
indiscriminate attack was commenced by
throwing stones into the procession The
democracy dismounted from their horses
crowd, which fled. A delegation from
Camden were interrupted by the republic
cans Of the place. By running a wagon with
saw log on it across the road. The
democracy undertook to move the same,
and q fight ensued, in which five or six
republicans were shot, two mortally.-
Threats were made that the same delega-
tion should not return home that road
The delegation have srmrd themselves, and
will go that road or lay Camden in ashes.
Further difficulties in that locality are
look ed for. . 80. s4l--a. -
These troubles are brewing 10 various
portions Of the state, and so badly scared
are the opposition that they will resort to
extraordinary measures to carry the cleo
ton. That they will import soldiers and
voters into the state, there is no Doubt
while inmates in hospitals, all Of which
are full, will be given liberty to vote.

A Note from Fernando wood.
New York, Sept. 4, 1868.

To The Editor ctthe NJ 7. Times
In your paper of this day fiud the fol-
lowing:
"Undoub tedly there is a wide difference
in the position of portions of the party sup.
porting Gov. Seymour. Some stand on YER.
table ground. and are perfectly assimulat.
ed With JEFF Davis in doctrine and shirt.
A representative Of that class is Andrews.
leader in the late riots, now in Fort La
fayette. Others do not acknowledge the
right Of secession, and are yet willing to
recognize it accordingly. A representative
of THAT class is Fernando Wood"
So far as am concerned this is errone-
Gus statement Of my position and opinions.
l am not willing to accept secession as an
accomplished fact. On the contrary, be-
lieve that the Union has not been and can
not be severed beyond restoration, unless
it may be by continuance for another
Presidential term Of the last two wears.
There has been no period within one year
in which the Union could not have been
restored, provided those in authority in the
Executive and Legislative Departments of
the government had desired it. 1t can vet
be restored but in my opinion only by con-
ciliatory measures and other equally consti-
tutioneI NJ ethods. -
Very respectfully, iS

This partizan movement. on the part of

expected. They don't care straw for the

1t is true they are ierociOus war men.
bat their only object in fayoring the aOw
of fraiernal blood is, that they may mon
opolize all the civil and military Offices.
By means of hypOcriticsl professions of
love for the Union and deception, and the
aid of military power, they hope to gain
exclusive control Of all the Offices and po-
sitons Of profit in the country.
But we opine that the shoddies will have
had time in carrying out their designs in
this county. The people, the real friends
