The Great victory and Its Lessons.
From Our Own cotrcEpontent-1
- CfSoxNAT1, Oct. II, 1868.
TIE g1estest civic contest 1t modern times
has just clcssd in this State, and the electric
spa1k has given you the result. It is auspl'
cions bey ond all previous hope. The heattof
eyerF tue American has been made GLAD,
while the dark pail Of despondency and des-
pair rests upon tFaftors within and foes with
ont, including the chief Of tie former, "wha !
watches and visits on the border" and "Me |
Ma,ylaud'' Dick, who, with his 50, 900 follow |
ers, has hecn t1a7eripg the State for the past
four wceks, but not one If whom can be |
found. Ohio has nob'y yindicated herself It |
ta1ni.hed her noble name that such persist. |
EFT and determined traitor as Clement L.iVal-
Iardigham could have been nominated by any
considerable PARTY, made up Of her citizens.
But the disgrace Las been wiped out, and the
Buckley State low stands forth model Of
loyalty. The resnlt will encourage our arm
It's IN the field to new victories. It will en-
courage the friends Of freedom all over the
world. There is not liberty loving man in
MI the land who does not feel that there Is
nc1s hope In humanity today than yes
te1Gny. It has sout ded the doom cf traitors
and their. sympathizers in tones so clear and
emphatic that none Of them will fall to hear
and understand It, and woe to him who at.
tempts to raise his puny arm or voice against
this high judgment Of the people.
AS connected with the great victory, there
is practical Lesson which should attract the
attention Of all loyal men. It refers to the
manner in which the conte.t WAS conducted
in this city, and also In the State, up to TIC
last tour. The ffeedou-loying people Of Gin.
cinnati announced their determination to give
one day exclusively to their country, and that
no calls cf huiiness should attract them from
the work they had In haEd. This determin-
aticn they caffied out in the strtcscst sense.
