Thank God the good name of our
noble STATE IS once more free from
stain Il yas'a disgrace to Ohio,
loyal mother of US all, that such a
man as Clement L. vdIlandfgliam
could be nominated by any cohsidcra-
Bile party 81 Our citizens for any re.
spectacle POSITION in the State; but
Night noplt has the disgrace been
wiped out. Our People forget PsrtS
when PATRIOTISM was involved and
from the River to the Lakes their con
demnation of Traitors and Sympathi-
sers with Traitors has sounded out
in tones 50 clear. so loud, that through
keeSbole limits OF thls Nation, rebel
of1oyal, none can fail to hear.
IfOhio furnished the most con
epteuous and persistent minion of the
Great Rebellion, Ohio, too, has mag
ni6ceatly repudiated her recreant,
Ianishe,l Son. Thank God he is
no Son Of Ohio, whom her People
bayee Ioathingly spurned from his
erodching position beyond per bor-
der.
"Couns eyery ballot q bullet fairly
aimsdat lhe heart Of the Rebeliion"
said the great Minister of Finance
yesterday. They are equnting the
bullets thus truly aimed In the
morning the State will count from
our bulletins as the City COUNTS to
night; and as the reckoning is footed
ap, there will come gush ofjoy, and
ofpride that overtops the Joy.
1t is nc great victory that prompts
this thanksgiving of the Common
wealth. II is simply the redemption
Of our fair. fame! 1t is What we al

The estimates we thought the wild

Central Committee talked of thirty

From across the water the echoes
will soon come sounding back. There
is an end Of hopes for desertion o
their Government by. the People; al
end Of hopes for "a division at the
North; an end Of expectations Of
Peace, save through the red gates Of
a War that kn9ws no Gloss .hut the
close Of the rebellion il msans to

So much for Victory. And now
for the retributive justice it compcls.
1t has been no ordinary contest
concerning disputcd questions of pol
itics. IT was d grave attempr by rer'
tain leading msn, enjoying the privi-
leges Of citizsns Of Ohio, to establish
treason to the Government under the
forms Of law-to place the State in
direct hostility to the general Gov.
ernment. For that crime, and for all
the consequences that crime would
have snstaailssd had it been as success,
ful as they str9ve 70 make IT, we hold
these men responsible now and thro'
all their lives. For this sin there is
no forgiveness.
Political opponents from whom we
differ We yet esteem; but men who
sought 70 degrade the nation by base
submission 70 is enemies, or TO dis
honor the State by Placing it with the
traitors against the Government
