We fear that the recent defeat of the De-
mocraey df Ohio has turned the minds Of some
of our good friends, and inclined them to turn
their hopes to false gods. To follow their
counsels, aud adopt war candidates upon war
platforms would be TO demoralize aud utterly
Rnnihiate the Democratic party. We had
better surrender at once to Lincoln and his
destructive policies. SO long as the people
Of this country are disposed to sacrifice to the
Abolition Moloch--so long as they are dis
posed to reyel in war and blood-cOnfseation
emancipation, taxation aud paper money
policies which are plunging the country with
fearful velocity to hopeless ruin, enriching
the few and pRuperizing the mass, so long will
they continue power in the hands of the orig
NAL John Brown politicians. The great is

instance, SINCE this desolatlng strife commenc-

attempt OF Democratic politicians to construct
vigorous prosecution of the war platforms
for war Democratic candidates. and the
party has approximated success only in those
contests where their steps have led towards
the pathway of righteousness and rEAcE SO

In that same hour that the people recover
their sight, they will hurl the pigmies from the
places they have defled Statesmen, exhiled
from the public counsels by the blindness,
passion and degeneracy of these evil times,
and even eXiled from the country by the mis-
cradle dwarfs who now riot upon the life
blood Of the nation, will be recalled by re-
pentant people. But this consummation can.
not be hastened by II compromise Of our man
hood and our principles The Domocratic
party cannot, and ought not to succeed Us n
war party in this devastating civil strife. We
are in favor Of maintaining Democratic or
ganzation and integrity, and in ayor of uomi-
mating a man who is the truest exponent Of
our principles of any Statesman upon this
continent That man, in our judgment, is
CLEMENT l.. vALLANDIGHANi
and as President.making has become quite a
business lately, we respectfully submit his
name. We dare not hope in his election, as
the same frauds that crcumvented The popu-
lar will at the late election will be employed
against him next year but he will command
n two fold larger vote than any "War Demo,
crat' in the country. AS before admitted we
may be defeated next year the result may,
however, be determined by the then market
value OF Secretary Chases rags and lamp
black, and by other events in tho future but
we hold, that whatever may be the issue, his
nomination pld be right and expedieni; be-
cause, as General jackson said 'the right is
aipdys expedient." Thslterrible 'history"
which Mr. Lincoln is making affords daily
confirmation Of the wisdom and rectitude Of
the position of Mr.. YaIlandigham and states
men of his school; and it Is not impossible
that the history Of the next twelve months
may afford such vindication of his views as
would insure his election in spite Of all the
frauds and violence that the bad men in pow
er could employ to defeat him. Confident,
however, we are, that if Clement l.. Yallan-
digham, or some statesman occupying his po.
sition regarding our great disorders and their
remedies, has just now poor prospects of sue
cess against the inscriptions tyrants who en-
ploy the purse and the sword to perpetuate
their power, "war Democrat would have
even less chances.
