OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA.


are exciting the liveliest interest throughout
the country, as upon their results seem to
hinge the most momentous issues. In Ohio
the campaign is an exceedingly animated one,
aud the Columbus Crisis, the organ of the
Democracy of the State, sends forth the fol-
lowing words of cheer:-
Still the work goes bravely on The
canvass in Ohio continues to attract the atten-
ton of the intelligent in other States, and
| even foreign countries, and We may well be
proud of it, for the best intellects reared in
| Ohio are engaged in it. And obviously the
weightiest part Of the brains of the State is
| ON the right sidc-the side of liberty and
| law, adherence to the old Constitution and
| fidelity to Il free and united country. Tho
! opposition have abandoned the attempt to cope
with such men as Thurman, Peudleton, Val
Iundigham, Morgan, Van Trump, Reemclin,
| Jewett, Hurd, Bingham, and their hosts of
able and determined assistants--the grand
tIibuues of the people-for the reason that
they cannot match them in their ranks in
Ohio; but they are compelled to import for
eign politicians. such as Morton aud Colfax
from Indiana, who favor imposing negro sui.
frage on Ohio, and are afraid to advocate it in
their own State such upstairs "a Thayer of
| Nebraska. whose calibre will not equal that
of a used up horse pistol, and Kelly, the hired
attorney Of the mOUeyed ariStOcrGcy and tar
ifites, and the crowd of alien satellites who
hover about them. The small shot of these
Abolition importatons is not heard amidst
the heavy artillery which is now making Ohio
reSOuud with such slashing speeches as Thur
man delivered at Marietta, and his CO workers
have made elsewhere. AS to Hayes, he seems
to have been distanced in the race, and ruled

! sues. and the terrific blows that he and his
party are receiving, only serve to expose his
weakness and betray his own belief in his
failure aud defeat.
Again we say, the work goes bravely on !
| There is unity, good will aud fellowship among
Opr leaders, as there is unity. liberty and De.
mocracy inscribed upon their standards; and
! there is nothing but division. mongrelism aud
anarchy in the ranks of the enemy. The
white men Of Ohio have but to do their duty
each in his own way and upon his own respon-
sibility-and in their lexicon after October
there will be no such word as fnH."
Pennsylvania too, is thoroughly aroused,
and we believe will redeem herself from the
thraldom Of rudicaism. That sterling Demo.
cratic journal, the Lancaster LrtcNiyemcer,
makes the following appeal to the people Of
! the State:
"If it were absolutely certain that Judge
! Shnrswood would be elected by handsome
majority we should be none the less persistent
| i'll urging every Democratic voter in the State
| to 20 to the polls. There is a vast deal OF
moral power in large majurities. What il
needed just now is an overwhelming popular
| verdict against the infamous and destructive
| policy OF the radical rcvolutionists. They
claim that the people endorse their acts. Do
! they! Do the masses OF Pennsylvania approve
! of the open violation of the Constitution, of
/ the destruction of States Of the old Union and
the erection Of u set Of negro republics in
! their stead! Are they prepared 10 endorse
military desPotism, the shameless corruption
which prevails everywhere, the proposition
( to force negro equality upon us by Congress.
! siODal enactments, the immense aud almost
uumeasured waste Of the public money We
know they are not, and we are confident that
they will say SO on the Sth of October. But
they should speak in thunder tones. We
want no meagre majority. Let every man
resolve that tic will leave TO effort uncm ployed
TO increase the vote and We will achieve a
| victory which will be clothed with immense
moral power. just such triumph is possible
! Proper organization and active exertion will
! give it to US. Then let us all work with all
our might"
From New York the intelligence is not less
gratifying. The World Of Saturday last gives
the following encouraging account Of things
in that State:
''Ncyer before in tho history Of State poll.
tics, so soon after the call for the State Con
vcntiOn was issued, have the Democrats Of
| the interior gone to work with that singleness
! OF purpose and determined aSsiduity that they
/ have this fall. Our advices from nearly
every quarter of the State are to the effect
that the Democrats areSclosing up their ranks
! by thorough and efficient organization, by the
sweeping away OF local prejudiceS and Jealous
! sizes, and by unity OF purpose and action for
! the struggle that is to ensuc in November.
| Nominating conventions have been called in
nearly every assembly district in the State,
and by the last of next week the compile iOn
Of the coming State Convention will be pretty
readily understood. This unanimty of feel
| ing in the interior is in the highest degree
/ encouraging to the prospect of the fall CAM
/ Paign. Not the slightest doubt exists that
! with the proper organization and effort, we
may, in November, rescue the State from
RadicaIism, and completely overthrow the
! present representation Of anarchy aud despo.
| tism."
