OF course, a man entertaining these
views of God, Of Christianity, OF ministers,
and of the President of the United States,
would have an exalted opinion of the
standard bearer Of the Peace Democracy
of Ohio. The more respectable aud sensi-
tive among them may shrink from the as.
sociaticn But it is not so much differ
ence of opinion between them as differ
ence of time. DIR. Tuttle merely keeps a
year ahead. Very few Democrats, indeed,
one year ago, would have thought of nom
mating O. L. Yallandigham for Governor
of Ohio. But Tuttle was, in June 1862,
where they were IN June, 1868. Will they

ruit of that political philosophy which
Itarts out by repudiating allegiance TO the

religious and civil obligations. The Mar
yr of Crawford County is the top flower
