MAGNANrMoUs.-That most iudulgent and
patriotic person who edits the Milwaukee
Ne'9s, since the people of Ohio have so en-
phatically rejected and spit upon his
favorte candidate for the Governor of that
State, magnanilnously concludes to let the
people have their own way, and go to the
Dogs their own way, That is WE'LL and is
an improvement upon the general policy of
the party to which the editor of the NevS be-
longs. When the people elected President
three years ago, the Democracy would not $50
let it be-" but declared war and undertook to
destroy the Government, rather than let the
people have their own way. The editor of
the Meas is evidently progressing in liberali-
ty. Hear him. speaking of the result of the
late elections, he says:
''There are none so much interested in the
result as the people themselves. If they pre-
fer despotic to republican institutions-so be
it. If they prefer to abandon the good old
Constitution of our fathers for the destructive
policy OF the republican party-so be it. If
they prefer to give up their sons for the sake
of a perpetual abolition war-so be it. If they
prefer that no man shall enjoy the protection
of the laws-so be it. If they prefer that all
the noblest and ablest men in the State should
be hooted down and prescribed from all par
ticipation in public atfairs-so be it. If they
prefer to be led and deluded by the dema-
gogues and corruptionists who have no sym
pathy with popular rights-so be it. If they
prefer that eleven of these states should be
made territories-so be it. If they prefer to
be taxed for the purchase of negroes be it.
If they prefer to be driven from their homes
at the dictation of the tax gatherer; if they
prefer to be driven to the battle field in chain
gangs; If they prefer to become the humble
subjects OF monied aristocracy if they pre-
fer to bow their necks beneath the heel ofsuch
knaves as Sumner and Wilson, to crafty their
sectional and partisan hate, then SO be it. 1t
is matter wholly of their own choice
The people have shown that they are not
to be humbugged by this kind of spiling up
the agony" The people are intelligent and
can see and judge for themselves, as well per-
haps as the editor of the Negos can Judge for
them They think they can better, and that
is why he is so exercised. The Nea1s man
should try and be comforted The enlighten-
ed people ofthis great Republic are not going
to abandon the old Constitution" nor 1.-THE
old flag" They have been trusted with their
own liberties and allowed to choose their own
rulers, for the past eighty years, and they have
so chosen that the country has prospered as
no country ever prospered before. They have
made but few mistakes and those have not
been fatal. They have now and then elected
a traitor to office, when for the time being,
they have forbone their own judgment and
allowed themselves TO he guided by such dem
agogues as the editor of the Milwaukee Mrs,
50 when they elected the traitor, J. c. Breck
inridge, Vice President so when they elected
the traitorous, nnbecile, James Buchanan
President.
That being driven from their homes by
the tax-gatherer," is a cunning dodge of the
NsrS but it won't work. 1t is an ackrowI-
edged fact that the financial prosperity of the
United States was never SO great as at the
present time. Never was its business more
active; the basis of its credit greater or the
