steady and certain decline of Abolition
strength, instead of being Il disaster, eonstl-
tate substantial triumph for the Democ-
racy, which need only be improved to in
sure The speedy and permanent redemption
OF Ohio from Abolition domination.
The contest thus auSpici0u, y closed waS
inauguratcd by the adoption of u correct,
sound and glorious platform. in which
Democratic principles were clearly ana
iearlessly declared without disguise or
mu;iiation--a platformrccog all over

pie by the blessing they have conferred.
and the hallcwed recollections that cluster
about them, the credit ofthis success is due
to the press, upon whom the burden Of the
campaign was thrown. and espececially upon
the country press, whose important duty
was most nobly and effectively performed:
cniitling its conductors to the confidence
aud liberal support Of the party. Nor
ought the gallant bearing and proper ex
ertions OF our candidates, and the impor-
t,nt labors Of the local committees, to be
overlooked or forgotten.

nemocra,'y. upon whose success depends,
now more than ever, the restoration OF civil
liberty, popular happiness and national
prosperity. 10 preserve their principles un

incumbent upon the Democracy to adhere
to their principles and their organization,
As the only means. We enjoin upon all
to whom these principles are endeared by
the recollection Of the past and by their
hopes for The future Of our country. to stand
firm in their allegiance to them, and never
renounce faith in their eompete and glo-
rious success.
