who Are For Party Now.

The abolitionists have said much about "no
party" and have beer. very .diligent in repre-
senting that democrats would not give up
party |! When have they given up party p
They are SO welded to party that they even
demand tina. all others shall give ur their
convictions and support Internationally not
the Constitution, not liberty and law, but their
party ! and their party dogmas ! together with
all their violations of the constitution aud all
their infractfons upon the law, the liberty and
the freedom Of q free people,.
They strike down the Constitution for party!
They strike down the courts, the writ of ha-
beas corpus, the right of trial By, jury. the
civil liberty and the freedom Of the people,
all for pqrtyI They would rather destroy the
great right of ballot than see their party de-
feated! The democrats care nothing Tor par
ty farther than its influence in sustaining the
Union, the4ibcrtics and the
rights of the people.4Who then are the mis-
erabla 4rartizans? Those who. maintain the
Constitution and stand up for their rights and
the freedom of the people in these tines are
patriots. While those who sanction every vi
olation of constitutional liberty, and every in
fraction of law, out of a blind subserviency
to party and party leaders, are traitors to cv-
cry principle of free government, and become
the mere slaves and v~assals of drunken and
licsnt;ous power.-SunJury Patriot.

When Tod was elected two years ago he was
principal owner and President of the Cleve-
land and Mahoning Rail Road. Unfortunate
ly for his chances for denomination Tod sold
his Rail Road some time before the Con
y%ention. John Brough is president of the
Beilfontaine and Indiana Rail Road. In time
of peace and prior to the blockade of the Mis-
sissippi river, the road but little more than
paid expenses. Since that time it has been
literally coming money; hence John Brough
is deeply interested against peace and in favor
of the war. 1 Peace throws. little or nothing
into his Golfers; war heaps them to overflow.
ing. Now while the contractors that control
the Abolition party had a certain confidence
in Tod's promises of a continued prosecution
of the war, they understood full well that they
had no security for them. They felt just as
men do in some other business transactions
A man may lend a rich neighbor a thousand
dollars and feel confident of its prompt pay
ment when due but yet he prefers a mortgage
on his ~neighbor's farm. So With the contract
ors. Tod's Rail Road interests were gone
Blough's remained, and the money they were
making out of the war waszthe security that
Tod had lost. Hence instead of giving Tod
the usual second term, they slaughter him
and go hundreds of miles into another State
for John Brough, a man who is m~erely..nomi-
nally a citizen of Ohio, and who has not been
identified with the interests Of our State for
many years. Thus the contractors were vic
torious al d their ends thus far accomplished.
Again, the abolitionis.s- must be satisfied,
and for this purpose, Brough was invited to
abolition meetings and made a speech a short
time before the Convention, at Marietta, Ohio.
Without going into any extended notice Of it,
VIC give the following as a sample of the OK
treme sentiments expressed in it. Among the
causes Of the rebellion, he assigns as ona "the
effort to make the political character of slavery
the balancing power in the union" and then
SAYS, "You never will settle this controver-
whether by arms or diplomacy, until you
remove the cause slavery that produced it"
Thus 3rough secured the other controlling ele-
m.ent, abolitfonism, and was nominated. The
only question left to the people of Ohio for
decision is, whether they are content 10 re-
main, or..tecome the subjects of tie military
despotism at Washington, the abolition fanat-
les Of New England, the thieving contractors
Of the army, and the huge. Rail Road monor-
olies that are gradually concentrating all over
the land. 1tif. sd nasa 9

WHY ron WAS DEFEArED.

Many wondered why Tod was slaughtered
in the house of his friends. For near two
years he had served The Abolitiouists ard con-
tractors faithfully and well. He hal given in
his adherence. to the creed of Greeley, Wen
dell Phillips, Garrison, &c. in almost its origi-
nal language. lie and his servants in the
legislature, had created numerous fat offices,
and Tod had parcelled them out with .. view
to conciliate and bind to his interests all whom
he feared. The legislature appropriated and
Tod expended with a lavish, hand amcng his
favorites, hundreds Of thousands of dollars of
the peoples money. Every means was used
by him to secure a denomination that money
or energy afford ed. But all in vain and the
reason Of his failurc can be stated in a few
words. Contractors and ~fanatical abolitionists
arethe only ones interested in the continuance
of the war. The former for money, tie latter

beyond any question, control the party .organi-

The Attempt Is Decefye.
The Republicans at their late State Conser-
ton, eoninatce john Broas6 as their oandi
datef of Goxsfnor of Ohio: For the purpose
of deception and fraud. the Republican press
and speakers assert that he is a 0life long
Democrat" The assertion is utterly false
When the Wing and Democratic parties fig
ured upon the political stage he CHARMED to be
a Democrat, but the fact that his whole atten-
ton was given to making money out of his
pretended opinions rendered him unpopular
among the people, prevented his appointment
to any position of honor or trust, and earned
him fairly the sobriquet applied to him by
his political opponents of ga bread and but

President Brough was a clanoroas applicant
for q third class foreign mission but Polk
knowing the swindling prechvities of the man
refused to appoint him. Ever since that time,
while taking no prominent part in the affairs
of the country, Brough has. cursed the Demo-
cratic party and leaders, and afterwards took
the firstopportunity to leave its ranks and
join the opposition. This chance presented
itself in 1854 upon the Kansas Nebraska is

During these years that John Brough was
disguised with political life, for the reason
that he could not get q fat Office, he devoted
his shrewdness to the Rail Road swindles of
the country and is now largely interested in
several important Roads. For several years
past he has not taken any part in the affairs of
the country,-save when he stunped for hat

the superintendance of the Bellefontain and
Indianapolis Rail Road Ever since the break

filing up his Golfers between Gallon and the

Democracy, this his patriotism, and these the
qualifications he brings to bear for governor

of praise. As Senator from Ohio, he won a rep

ty have been honored in the selection of one of
our ablest and best citizens,s HORACE s..
KNAPP. Mr.. Knapp has been connected for
many years with the pres of Ohio. and as a
journalist ranks among the best in the State
In this capacity he has always made it a
p lint to examine critically and speak fearless
ly in all cases where there was apparent dis
honesty among public officers. We believe
he, with Hon. WM. D. MORGAN, was among
the first to call attention to the frauds that
they believed were being perpetrated upon the
State by Gibson and Breslin, and to show up
the schemes of the bankers and brokers that
involved the latter in ruin. Able, faithful,
prompt and of unfiinchins integrity and FORT
tude, as is attested by all who know him, we
humbly believe that no better selection could
have been made, and that MS nomination will
add materially to The majority by which the
whole ticket will be elected next fall.
Hon. p. VAN Trump, the nominee for
Judge, has long been among the most promi-
nent citizens of Ohio. Started out in the
world penniless and friendless, he has fought
his way up in the world. AS Judge Of the
Court of Common Pleas, his decisions have
been marked with a deafness ard correctness
that have won him a high reputation. His
remarks in the recent opinions connected with
the litigation arising from the arrest of DIR.
Olds, are admitted to contain some of the
sound est legal spinions that history records.

PAUSE AND REFLEcT-MYAkolitio friend,
one word to you'll Did it ever occur to you,
while you blindly and madly exult over the
arrest and imprisonment of Hon. O.L. Vallau-
digham, that the Democratic party by the
blessing of God, intend to elect a President of
the United States, in November, 1864 and
that it is altogether likely that the very man
your party nov vainly supposes to be out of
the way, may be selected, by the sovereign
people of this country, to occupy the seat that
is now discharged by Abraham Lincoln /? Did
you ever think of that? And again if the
Democratic party comes into power, as it most
assaredly will, did the thought ever occur to
you that your party will be at the mercy of the
ruling majority? While We do not anticipate
that the Democracy will ever initiate the illegal,
arbitrary and wicked conduct of the Adolf
tionists-for the Democracy ara merciful, just
and good,-still it is possible thcy might do SO,
and it would therefore be well enough for the
Abolitiopists to bear in mind that their reign
is every day drawing nearer to a close, and
that in a short time 'the places that now know
them will know them no more forever."-H.
