Ohio.

The political canvass in Ohio has fairly
begun, aud both parties have already TAX
en- the stump. Senators Wade and Sher-
man are both addressing the people, and
we give extracts from speeches made by
both, as covering largely the political ques-
tions of the day. Fist we give an ex-
tract from Senator Wade:
" Now ! want 70 say one word about the
success of our great principles. For, as L
lave already stated, ! don't address this
argument to any man who, in the Rebel
lion, stood b, il and sympathized with il,
and y no, when our troubles were thickest
upon us, GOT up convicted traitor as "a
candidate for Governor, and stood GU.
against all the canvassing. and begging,
and pleading that was done TO save the
country. don't address arguments to
those men. want to speak to you who
have btea identified with this good cd
Republican party in encouraging works
for the success of these great and glorious
principles we have held so long; for such
spectacle never came before this deprav-
ed world of ours before. just reflect up
on it. What has this party done that we
are branded as Radicals and Abolitionists,
and all that? Have we not grown from .
c'oud no bigger than mans hand into
great power in the land-a party which
now predominates over this land for great
good? Why don't these men reflect on
that? Why don't they try to find out
what has dwindled them 10 nothing, and
built us up to such power? 1t is the
great spirit of righteousness perneaiing
and pervadins the party with which we
j have acted. We have stood gloriously by
the country and by our principles; and,
with the exception Of one year since the
great Republican party WAS organized, it
has met with nothing but victory. These
men don't seem 10 understand why the old
f Democratic party has fallen under the ban
of the people and has become Kissing
and by-word among men. Why is it.?
Because they have departed from every
principle Of republieanism. They pre-
tended TO act upon the principles Of old
t Thomas Jefferson-glorious old patriot =
| l revere him as much as the best of them.
| He laid down the principles we have taken
t OPP and carried forward SO triumphaatly,
: because they were founded In republican,
ism and Righteousness; and with the IA
vor of Almighty God, that is why we are
triumphant, and why we shall not fail
Z Why, brother Thurman, on the principles
you advocate to-day, if you gain victory
! you must plant your batteries very lighi
: you must storm the Sebastopol Of the Al
s mighty, and sh ell him from his throne, be-
# fore your principles can predominate.-

" principles Of tyranny and Partially will
