FOR GOVERNOR,
The Messages OfGOverROrs TOt
aud Seymour.

On our frst page wC publish side by
side, the substance Of the messages Of
the Governors of Ohio and New York.
They exhibit most remarkable con-
trast Gov. Tod started ont in public
life q Democrat, was hopored by his par.
" to a seat in thelegislature, aud other
of6ces He was once if not twice, the
Democratic candidate for Governor
During his Democratic manhood, he was
one Of the FIRST and foremost in denoun.
cling at all times the wickeduess Of abo.
litionism as the greatest curse ever in.
ticted on this country. In 1851 the ab.
clifton spirit having provoked this re-
bellion, their leaders sought 10 hide the
crime by getting up union of all par.
ties ticket. David Tod was placed at
the head thereof, aud was voted for by
Abolitionists, Republicans and Demo.
Gratis about in equal proportion. Enter
iBg as he did upon his gubernatorial ca,
reer, as the representative of all parties
he was bound to do justice to all, and in
his executive duties we believe he has at
tempted to fulfil the promise of his elec'
ton. But when the Abolition leaders
at Washington we're FIRST repulsed in
their efforts to make this an abolition
war against slavery, and sought to strike
down honest Democrats in the Northern
States by arbitrary arrests, then Gov
Tod in an evil hour, lent his influence
and the power Of the great State of Ohio
to their unholy purposes, he forgot the
conservative and Democratic element
that elevated him to his position, and
psndered only 10 the interests of his life
long enemies. The sequel Of all lis is
In the fact that he hoped to succeed B.
F. Wade in the United States Senate
That hope is yet the object of his ambi'
tion. Hence it is that in his late mes
: aage, we 6nd none Of his patriotic bursts
of fdenunciation against the abolition au
thors of our present calamities, ard YOU
look 10 vain through the message fol
any suggestions favoring q peaceablt
termination of this unnatural struggle
As the Governor of the third State il
the Union, he could by his recommend
ations, assist the patriotic Democrats
of other States in their endervors for {
restoration Of the Union and all its bles
sings. Had he assumed the high ma
5tional ground which we find in the mes
sage Of Gov, Seymour, and pointed ou
as that Governor has, the causes ant
remedies for this war, there is no doub
that the action of those two Governor
would iD less than sixty days have ST
operated upon the public mind of tn
country as to have compelled the Abo
lition Congress now in session to respec
and to submit to the wishes Of the peO
pie, for convention Of all tn States
and restoration Of the Union as 1t wal
under the Constitution as it Is.
We lament the course Of Gov. Tod
all the name and fame he had was Den
octatic property, and with proper Vi
oft be might to-day stand second on
to Gov. Seymour, who is now the for
most man in the nation.

suppressed, and will not be turned frol

Renshaw, was not engaged, being ashore
in another channel. Her crew were
transferred to transports, and Commo.
dore Renshaw, fearing she would fall

dent the explosion took place before a

sequently blown up with the ship.
