isIlss the vsiIandighaners style their vietors,
fought With great pluck, and "Pledgs life,
JortIrne azd sacred honor, TO PrsserSs the Cpn-
sfirwtioa and the Eni0n." The peace men
@ had q sweet morsel to roll under their
tongues, in the following language: W.
d. demand the inaE JUratiOH Of peaceful means
3 70 attain an honorai le settlement and the
restoration Of the Union under the Consti
Z tuition" Blessed are the peace makers in
ths possession of this mOrsel, in the grand
Llr Work OF miseegenatlon-
The Democracy Of Northern Ohio felt
disErsoed and dishonOred last fall ty the
I nomination Of Vsllandighsm and have re-
psnted in sackeloth and ashes. They
strovs for the mastery, but not being able
% adjourn the Convention without passing
any resolutions, they prepared q nicely
adjusted plan for miscegeDating the posce
- men.
-. Their platform was swallowed by the
unsuspectiug followers Of the martyr. The
I VsIiandighamers did not want to pledge
NE, fortune, and sacred honor, but they
agreed to the pledge before they knew it,
they swallowed q bare hoOk-they saw
peace only, they heard pence only, they
caught the blessed words and the misce-
genstion was complete. The Plain Dealer
and Enquirer have been like two lions unto
: each other heretofore. They will now lie
down like the lion and the lamb. The En-
quirer viii blow the bugle blast Of Peace,
in the south, while the war horns Of the
'ikfn Dealer will echo in the North.
- The Plain Dealer goes lntO esstasiss over
Che Mcclellan delegates, Ranney, Thur
m6n, Allen and Pendlston. The Enquirer
says thsysr "Well and fsvOrsbly known
toshe people Of the State"
~ The Plain Dealer SHOUTS over the life,
= fortune and sacred honor dodge. The En-
- quirsr with q coy msidenish reluotance,
81 which hesitstes before flying TO the arms
Of lover, says aths platform speaks for
b. ItSalGp Oh most learned Enquirer. It
does speaI for itself and you too with all
your sweet visions Of peace are to be mis-
eegensted. The Crisis and stateSmsn
have been in the miscegsnsting pro
cess for some little time. The
Statesman exults like the voice Of the
moraipg. The venerable Samuel Of the
Crisis. Is reported to have sworn snd raved
furicusly about the olives and fortunes
dodge" But ssmueTs turbulent spirit
viii Be allsyed. he too will be miseegs-
nabsd. At last the vists is bright and
cheering" Coming out Of the fiery fur
mace Of the great amalgsmating process,
TIE sky looks bright and promising to the
1sw-bOrn Democracy.
There is bat one drawback to this beau
Hfal welding Of Peace and War. Both
parties will have 80 much to swallow Of
words uttered before. This alone mars the
symnstry Of the Miscegenated DsmOC-
rsey.
