The Democratic Country Pa
pers Of Ohio.

Much that was complimentary was said
in the Eastern journals few weeks ago,
in regard to the gallant fight made in Ohio
by her invincible Democracy The result
of the elections in all the States which voted
this fall, shows that in none Of them, i'll
proportion to the vote and the majority to
overcome, have the Democracy done as well
as in our State. We have indeed, Demo
cracy that is never cast down by defeat nor
intimidated by numbers In the recent po-
litical campaign in this State, there was but
very little public speaking General Nor
gan and Colonel Lang, our candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, had
but little assistance in the conyass, from the
great mass Of our popular Democratic ora
tors, and the brunt Of the fight fell upon
the fearless men who control the country
papers OF Ohio. The vigor, the efficiency
and the energy they threw into the canvass
awakened the Democratic people from the
lethargy which enveloped them, and the
election resulted in an immense reduction of
the Abolition majority, large Democratic
grain in both branches of the General AS
sembly, and the election Of L large number
of local officers
To the Democratic County Press, the
party of Ohio owes much. 1t never talter-
ed or failed to do its duty. Determined and
resolutc, believing the disbandonment Of
the Democratic party would be the worst
thing that could happen the country, 1t four
years ago raised its voice against such q
step, and carried with it the great mass of
the Democracy, and to-day the party Is
/ stronger in numbers and more confident Of
ultimate success than it has ever been since
lo6l. The day of victory may seem distant
to many may be discouraged-but

masses, the deep under current Of the pub
lie mind, the dissensions, troubles and
wranglings in the ranks OF our enemy, can
place the day of Democratic success far dis
tant The Democracy, tavor!ng the imme-
diatc reunion of the States, and showing a
united front against the extremists and rad
icals, must and will soon be recognised as
THE UNION party Of the country, and to its
standard, in the decision of the question OF
a probationary or immediate Union, "a un-
ion of hearts, union of hands, the con-
servative people must rally But there are
other questions. The common mind is
hcaving now. The political chart of the
day must soon be amended. Monopoly
special privileges and class legislation mus
: end. The hard handed mechanic, the swar
Y thy operative, the farmer and the laboriut
r man groaning under the Alpine load Of tax
alton, will rise in their strength and strik
down, through the ballot-box the rag barol
= rulers, who with relentless hand and tyran
n cal sway, seek to make labor pay tor tn
i immunities enjoyed by wealth.

G with their hands on the pulse of the peo

t ioreshadowng their determination; Inc

be administered with the greatest frugali'y
= SO that its blessings shall, like the dews
