EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Z
COLUMBUS, April 8, 1865.
The God Of battles has blessed our armies
and the glorious cause of human freedom.
Under disappearing smiles the patriotic and
brave men 10 the field have achived un-
psrallelod triumphs, the rebel capital has
been conquered and given back to the Union,
and the army that held it in rebellion has
been broken and scattered The military
power Of the rebellion, the strongest obstacle
TO pesce, has received terrible shock, and
our gallant armies are pursuingit to final
extinction. For all this we owe praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God. Recogniz-
ing the services aud sacrifices Of our noble
soldiers and rejoicing over the triumph Of
the right, the crushing of the rebellion and
an early return to peace and prosperity in
the land, it is therefore recommended that
Friday next, the l4th day of April, being the
saniversary Of the fall Of Fort Sumter, be
generally observed by the people ofthe State
as q day of Thanksgiving to God and gem
eral rejoicing; that religious asssmblages and
ebsorvances mark tho day, and the evening
be given to bonfres, Examinations and the
laundering of artillery, public sssemblages
and speeches, and such other manifestations
as may be suggested to appropriately mark
the heroic deeds Of our armies and tho gen.
sral JOY of our people at the early restoration
OF the Constitution and good government.

TIE ELECTIONS OF 1868.

The elections held thus far In 1865
are certainly very encouraging to the
Union Party Their results should fill
with joy the hearts of every lover of
Liberty.
The o-called Democratic Party Of
the country, early in the present rebel
lion took position against coercion, and
in its conventions and through the press
and public speakers of the party de-
clared against the power of the Gen.
cral Government to use force to hold
the people of ".Sovereign State" in
subsection to It's authority, and went
90 far in some cases as to.declare that if
the Government should attempt such co
ercion the party would array itself in IA
vor Of the coerced States. Not only have
these positions been taken by leaders of
the party, but during the four years that
the rebellion with varied fortunes has
been battling against the authority of
the Government, these same leaders
have peen doing all they could to weak
en- the confidence Of the people in their
Government, by misrepresenting the
aims and object of its administrators;
to strengthen the cause of the rebel
lion, by unfolding tho theories upon
which 1t was based; and destroying the
power Of the Government to overthrow
the rebellion, by preventing, in every
possible way, the recuperation of its
armies, 1t is not necessary to enumer-
ate or point out the many times and oc-
casions on which these things have been
done, not only by leaders and leading
papers Of the party, but by conven,
tions and assemblages OF the party, for
they are facts of history, familiar to
everybody. That party and its leaders
seemed to take 1t for granted that the
'Goysrnment must fail in its efforts to
suppress the rebellion, and in conse-
quence Of the failure the party admin
istsring 1t would become very unpop-
;ular, and the party which predicted and
aided to secure the failure would be-
come correspondingiy. popular. For
shree years these persistent efforts were
made TO prevent the Government from
succeeding and to convince the people
that 1t could not succeed, when the party
in its National Convention in 1864 do
clared that The scar for ire restoration of
the Union Das a future, and asked the
people Of the country, at the very time
the administrators Of the Government
stood most in need of aid and comfort
from them, to decide that the effort TO
restore the Union and the National au-
thority was failure. The people, how
over. in their patriotic love Of country
and devotion TO the Union, were not 70 |
be bribed or misled to their ruin by the
pressure Of party feeling or the. schemes
ofthe bad and dangerous men into
whose hands the Democratic party had
fallen, and with unanimity scarcely
syer squsled in the history of the
country, rallied to the support OF the
Government and overwhelmingly de-
feated the traitors, trickstsrs and dema-
goguss who manipulated tho enfeebled
carcass ofthe dying Democratic party.
Not satisied with this dsmonstration
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1865-04-13

Of public sentiment, and anxious to
try again TO resuscitate the old, enfee.
bled hair-shorn giant, the managers
enter the arena in the campaigns of
1855, and with their mouths sealed,
their oracles dumb, and no inference
Of sentiment indicating their position,
for or against the rebellion, for or
against the Union, for or against the
administration of the Government, for
or against the prosecution of the war,
they hope that the old party fealty, the
recollections of their former success,
the prestige of half century of almost
uninterrupted power, would gather
around the party enough of the old
supporters to secure its success, or at
least give 1t increased force and power
for future action; but the results Of the
elections already held, indicate that,
when the people in 1860, and again in
1864, turned their back toward the
crime bloated, treason poisoned party,
they had abandoned it forever, and
buried it beyond the reach Of political
resurrection. Let us briefly look at
these results, and If there is a simple
individual still adhering to that party,
in the belief that it may atsome future
time succeed in obtaining power We
ask them in the light Of these results
to look back over the history of the
Tory,the Federal and the Whig parties,
and see what become of them after the
termination of the wars to which they
were opposed.
New HAMPSHIRE was the first State
to hold an election In 1865. In 1864,
she gave Mr.. LINCOLN 2,405 majority,
in 1865, she gave SMITH, Union 6,059
majority.
CONNECTICUT in 1864, gave LINCOLN
2,406, in 1865, she gave BUCKINGHAM
11,068 majority.
RHODE ISLAND in 1864, gave LINCOLN
1922 majority, in 1865 she gave a
largely increased Union majority.
In ONO, at the local elections wher-
ever heard from, the Union majorities
are greatly increased over last years
results. Cincinnati goes Union by
over 1000 majority (; and Columbus,
the stronghold Of Dem mocracy, has been
carried by the Union Party.
New YORK and INDIANA have also
given increased Union majorities at
their local elections.
Since these results, we have had the
capture of Richmond and Petersburg
and the overthrow and surrender of
LEE and his army, which secure an
early termination Of the war; and, if
any further assurances were wanting
than those above enumerated, that the
party which, during the rebellion, pre-
dicted that it never could be conquer
ed, and has welded its influence to
prevent that conquest, must and will
30 down forever in this country, the
general Joy that fills every patriot heart,
the almost universal rejoicing over
these glorious results, and the elon-
gated visages and scowling looks Of
the old hacks of the party, who have
led her through treason to her ruin,
furnish those assurances to every OBJ
servant mind.
