THE OVERWHELMING OF ToRYsM IN ONO.
- 1t is no wonder the loyal men of Ohio ''rc-
joice greatly" over the great and glorious trl-
umph they have just achieved at the, ballot
box. That success has perhaps saved the
the noble empire State of the West from
scenes within its own border fearful to con-
template. Well does the Cincinnati Gazette
observe:
1t is a great victory that prompts this
thanksgiving of the commonwealth. 1t is SIM
ply the redemption Of our fair fame. 1t is what
we all knew the noble State must do, but it
thrills us TO find she has done it so superbly.
Ihe estimates we thought the widest are
FAR outstripped. The State Central Committee
talkea oil tlllrty-two thousand majority on the
home vote. 1t fifty thousand! At Column
bus they say it will lie seventy-live thousand !
And this is without our soldiers Wait ill
their voice comes in, and the thunder of our
home guns will be penny fire crackers beside
the reveTberating roar of their artillery.
From across the water the ecoes will soon
come sounding back There is an end of
hopes for a desertion of their government by
the people; and end of hopes for a division of
the North: an end TO expectations OF peace
save through the red gates of a war that
knows no close but the close of the rebellion it
means to crush.
So much for the victory. And now for the
retributive justice it compels.
II has been no ordinary contest concerning
disputed questions of politics. 1t was a
grave attempt by some leading men, enjoying

THE WIFI, Hoe AND SwoRD."- Rev
Geo. n. Hepworth in his forthcoming volume
of army Experience-now in press by Walker,
Wise & Co.-records the following interest
ing incident illustrative Of the eleyating effect
of paid labor, upon the plantation slaves:
\ few days ago, a gentleman hired new
overseer, one who was obnoxious to the hands
on account Of his reputation. He was in the
habit of welding the whip pretty freely, and
using abusive language to the negro women.
On the morning when he arrived to enter
upon his duties, delegation from the field
hands waited upon the proprietor, and very
respectfully stated their objections. When
they had flushed, he INDUCED in some very
strong language, forgetting times had some
what changed and bade them go about
their business, for he would hire whomsoever
he chose to be oveseer. They demonstrated
still further, saying that the hands could not
work under such man, but that they would
cheerfullv work under any one else. He dis
missed them with an OATH The matter how
ever did not end there. The delegation at
once went TO their cabins, packed up their
little bundles and started on the road to Fort
Jackson They knew that, once there they
could get employment. They had not gone
far however, before their master came to his
senses. He was no longer the owner of mere
chattlcs. Some change had come over slavery;
and he was surprised to find that those whom
he had stlgmati1ed as "things," and counted
at so much "a head" as he did his COWS and
hogs, were growing very rapidly into the
likeness of men, "who know their rights, and
knowing dare maintain them" He called
them all back; told them they should have any
overseer they wanted; upon which they un-
packed their bundles, and quietly went TO the
field, as If nothing had happened

the privileges of citizens OF Ohio to establish
treason to the government under the form of
law-to place the State in direct hostility to
the General Government. For that crime.
and for all the consequences that crime would
have entaled, had it been AS successful as they
strove to make it, We hold these men respon-
sible now and through all their lives. For
this sin there is no forgiveness.
Political opponents from which we differ we
can yet esteem; but men who have sought to
degrade the Nation by base submission to its
enemies, or to dishonor the State state by
placing it with traitors against the Government
why should they be less infamous evermore
than the Tories and cowboys of our earlier
and less, dangerous times of trial?
The prime mover in all this conspiracy is c.
l.. Vallaudgham. Let him pass! Convicted
by two courts, banished by the Chief Magis-
trate of the Nation, an appellent from that tri-
bunal to the bar of his State, and by her cast
off with an ignominy none other Of her citizens
vertreceiyed-branded Traitor by the Ruler,
sealed Traitor by the people-let him wander,
outcast that he is, through lands where dis
tance and obscurity may diminish, till the
grave shall swallow his intamy.

Who Is THE DEMOCRAT "A copperhead
authority complains that Vice President Ham
lin lately addressed "small political gatherings
at the crossroads and in the taverns of the
rural districts of Maine" The critic claims of
course, to be peculiarly Democratic. But he
has yet to learn that at just such crossroads,
and village school-rooms and tavern-parlor
meetings the puplic opinion is formed and
educated which govrens the country, ami it
IS the glory of our systnm that no office exalts
aman above their duty as citizen, one of the
first of which is the instruction and the in
lightenment of his neighbor When John
Quincy Adams, having been President, goes
TO Congress as a representative, he illustrates
perfectly the truly democratic character of
our Institutions. And when Mr.. Hamlin being
Vice President, eoniers with his fellow citizens
upon their duty in time of great national
peril, is signal example which every faithful
American will emulate. 1t is not those who
cry Lord. Lord" that are most religious.
Nor Is it those who call themselves "Demo-
Gratis that are the most democratic. IL

more simply, honestly, and entirely democrat
