B6- The Cincinnati Commercial thus
consoles itself over the defeat Of Mr..
Richard Smith, the Radical nominee for
Congress in the Second District Of Ohio
Mr.. Smith, the regular candidate,
whose nomination occurred after con-
test in which a good deal Of bitterness
was engendered, had the disadvantage of
not being very well known, and Of not
possessing a large degree Of personal
popularity. He was not skilled in the
arts of a public speaker, and his plain,
straightforward talks we're less effective
than the convoluted and responding ha-
raugues Of his opponent
So far as be is personally concerned, he
needs no sympathy, and he would, we
have no doubt, have preferred, if he
could have been permitted IN choose,
defeat with the support hehsd, ioVictory
with the elements that combined 10 elect
Cary.
We never knew a defeated candidate
to whom failure was not personally more
agreeable than success Candidates are
such disinterested people. The Com
mereiaFs consolation over the result
equals that Of the fox in the fable, which,
upor losing bis tail, declared tails IN
fashionable. The Commercial will
doubtless print miles Of editorials to
establish that Mr.. Smiths defeat is at.
tribuiable to this or that minor issue.
But ell these efforts cannot conceal the
truth. Mr.. Smith was the representative
Of extreme Radicalism; the editor Of a
powerful journal, which, during the war,
recommended the drowning out Of the
people-on the Mississippi by means Of
levee cutting, and daily advocates
the ferocious impeachment and con-
fscaiion measures Of Thad. Stevens
and Ben. Butler, and the in
famous military reconstruction pro-
gramms His defeat was q stern rebuke

Particulars from Norfolk county show
a serious state of affairs among the negro

the whites in the South, and would hold

TO the Radical malignants, who Tor years
have been rushing the county to the
devil under high pressure, aud grinding
the people beneath the iron heel of the
worst despotism the world ever saw. 1t
wasa rebuke to the Wholesale schemes Of
robbery and murder, which, for years
past, the highest authorities in the land
have sanctioned aud defended. 1t was
the voice Of the people, saying mo
impeachment of President for adhering
to his oath of office; no confiscation OF
Southern mems property to enrich North
ern vagabonds, aud worthless negroes,
unfit for the freedom thrust unbidden
upon them; no more despotism, If you
please" This is what Mr. Smiths de-
feat means; it is what the thunder tones
from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Connecticut,
California and Montana mean. Will
Congress, will the Radical masses heed
them ? Will they retrace their steps, or
allow the deluge to bury them beneath
its waves forever2

nea Now that the Ohio Democracy
have the power in their own hands, 1t
would be an act Of rare poetic justice to
bes,ow the vacant United States Sem
atorsLip on Mr. Vallandigham. There
would be fitness of things in placing
this noble Conservative champion in the
seat now disgraced by that furious
.Jscobin and swaggering, swearing
drunkard, Ben. Wade. For their exist
ence to-day as mighty power, the Con-
seryatives of Ohio, if not Of the Union,
are more indebted to Mr.. Vallandigham
than any other twenty men IN the
country. Against him we're leveled the
most deadly shafts Of a corrupt govern
ment. In him free speech and free
press we're for time stricken down. But
he possesses the vitality of PhGnix
multiplied q thousand times. Bayonets,
chastity court-martisl farces and exile
could not force an abandonment of hls

in the gabernatorisl contest as the Con-
servative standard bearer Now, as then,
Vallandigham is the test Of Ohio Con-
seryatism. In 1863 Yallsndigham was
beaten one hundred thousand votes;
to- day vallandigbsm's principles glo-
riousIy triumph; and the Jacobins who
three years ago sought his life and muir
dered his champions, now sink into the
dark corners to escape the wrath of long
suffering freemen. Send him to face
