late glorious victory of the Ohio Democ-
racy, says:
'Now that the Ohio Democracy have
the power in their own hands, it would
be an act of rare poetic justice to bestow
the vacant United States Senatorship on
Mr., Vallandigham. There would be a
fitness of things in placing this noble
companion in the seat now disgraced by
that furious Jacobin and staggering,
swearing, drunkard, Ben. Wade. For
their existence to-day, as a mighty power
the Conservatives of Ohio, if not of the
Union, are more indebted to Mr.. Val
landigham than any other twenty men in
the country. Against him were leveled
the most deadly shafts of corrupt Gov
ernment. In him free speech and free
press were for time stricken down. But
he possesses the vituality of Phoenix
multiplied thousand times. Bayonets
chastity court martial forces and exile,
could not force an abandonment of his
principles. When in exile, he was borne
in the gubernatorial contest as the stand
ard bearer. In 1868 Vallapdigh m was
beaten one hundred thousand votes; to-
day ValIandigham's principles gloriously
triumph; and the Jacobin's who three
years ago sought his life and murdered
his companions, now slink into the dark
corners to escape the wrath of long -suf-
fering freemen., Send him to face their

irg of Ben. Wade and the Senatorship,
says:
"Well the people have rebuked this
old scamp by electing Legislature to
remove him. Now it will be the duty of
that Legislature to supercede him by a
patriot, statesman. and gentleman -
In the person of Hon. G. L. Vallandig-
ham thy have all these qualities, and we
feel justified in saying, if he lives, which
we hope he will, that he will be our next
United States Senator. Ohio may we'll
feel proud that she can send such a pat
riot, orator and statesman to the United
States Senate.
DIsAPPoINTMENTs. - The Radicals
were subjected to a series of disappoint-
ments in the recent election in this State
They were disappointed in carrying the
State ticket by $4,000 majority, as they
boasted they would. They were disap-
pointed in carrying through the Consti-
tutional Amendment, as they were posi-.
tive of doing They were disappointed
in the election of Richard Smith to Con.
gress, to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the registration of General Hayes, as they
had every confidence in doing. They
were disappointed in carrying majority
of the Legislature, which would have
secured their control of the State an6
the return of Ben. Wade to the Senate
1t would be too bad to allow any more
disappointments to befall them. Thei
principle electioneering hobby was tina
in the event of Democratic majority il
the Legislature, Vallandigham would b
elected to the United States Senate; W,
would not be SO cruel as to subject then
to disappointment. in this particular. :

a grand Democratic jubilee at Mt. Yer

IC. L. Vallandigham, who is to succee,
Ben. Wade in the United States Senate
will positively be there to address tn
people. There is poetic justice in hav
ling Mr.. Yallandigham speak upon tn
same spot where he spoke in 1868, 70
which he was arrested and exiled. Their
is also something more than poetic jus
tice in sending him to the United Stat
f Senate as the successor to Ben. Wade
